Chapter 44: 044 Snatching Her Gown

Fu Xiaoxiao saw Shen Yan mingling with the others, and a trace of grimness flashed across her face.

Shen Yan pretended to be docile when she was in the Fu family, but she started to act promiscuously after she left. She was simply a disgrace to the Fu family!

Fu Xiaoxiao took a wine glass from the waiter’s hand. Then, she walked towards Shen Yan, holding a red wine glass in her hand. She stood in front of Shen Yan and said to the C-tier celebrities with a smile, “Sorry guys, let me borrow Miss Shen for a moment!”

Shen Yan frowned after hearing her voice. She raised her eyebrows slightly, as she saw the people around her leaving. Then, she stared at Fu Xiaoxiao and smiled insincerely. “I don’t know why Miss Fu is looking for me. Is your face itching again?”

Fu Xiaoxiao instantly remembered Shen Yan had slapped her previously. The smile on her face disappeared completely, and she looked at Shen Yan coldly. “Where did you get your gown?”

My gown?

Shen Yan lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the gown she was wearing. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Then, she glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao, replying, “It has nothing to do with you. Miss Fu, you should mind your own business instead of caring about my gown!”

“You…” Fu Xiaoxiao’s grip on the wine glass tightened.

“Miss Fu, if I’m not mistaken, there are other young ladies who have taken a fancy to your prince charming.” Shen Yan smiled as she looked at Qian Nian, who was chatting and laughing with Xu Qing not far away. “I remember that Miss Qian is a good friend of yours. I can’t believe she tried to make a move on Xu Qing, how shameless of her!”

Xu Qing!

Only then did Fu Xiaoxiao remember her purpose for coming here tonight. Although it was the dinner banquet for the cast of “Return of the Heroes”, there were still many well-known directors and actors who came tonight. Xu Qing had come here tonight to try and pick up another good script.

However, what Fu Xiaoxiao wanted to do now was to rip the dress off Shen Yan. She could not bear that someone was dressed nicer than her tonight.

She put her wine glass down on the table with force. The wine shook and almost spilled out. Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yan with a cold face and said gloomily, “The Moonlight Goddess belongs to me. Let’s find a place and exchange our dresses.”

Shen Yan did not expect Fu Xiaoxiao to want to swap dresses with her in the dinner banquet. Her eyes turned cold, and she asked in amusement, “Miss Fu, you’re so naive. You want me to swap dresses with you just because you say so?”

“You are the one who stole my gown! Shen Yan, you better be sensible and swap dresses with me. Otherwise, I’ll…”

“Otherwise what?” Shen Yan asked rhetorically with coldness radiating from her eyes.

“I’ll ruin your reputation!” Fu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and remarked.

“Are you serious, Miss Fu? My reputation has long been tarnished thanks to the Fu family,” Shen Yan stated with a smile as the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Fu Xiaoxiao’s face reddened with anger. The veins on the back of her hand protruded fiercely. She gritted her teeth and rushed toward Shen Yan. “I’m going to tear your clothes apart! Don’t ever think about getting what I can’t get!”

“What are you doing?”

A cold voice rang out from the side. The voice sounded like a devil from hell. It scared Fu Xiaoxiao and made her froze in her spot.

Fu Xiaoxiao gradually turned her head toward the direction of the voice. She saw Fu Hang looking at her coldly with one hand in his pocket.

“S-Second brother!” Fu Xiaoxiao had a feeling that he would not let her go if she continued to fool around any longer.

“You’re in public! Your actions are disgracing the Fu family!” Fu Hang’s furrowed his eyebrow. He lowered his eyes to conceal the anger in them.

Fu Xiaoxiao knew very well that her second brother would side with her as long as she did not do anything extreme. She looked at Fu Hang and said coquettishly, “Second brother, she’s wearing my gown. Tell her to return my gown to me now!”

“I gave the gown to her.” Fu Hang stood beside Shen Yan and retracted his gaze from Fu Xiaoxiao with some disgust. Then, he tilted his head to look at Shen Yan. A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. His voice softened and uttered, “Miss Shen, you look beautiful today.”

Shen Yan looked at Fu Hang in surprise. She crossed her arms and looked at Fu Hang with amusement. She smiled and replied in a low voice, “Thank you for the gift, President Fu. However, it’s better for you to not give me anything in the future. Otherwise, I won’t even know why I died!”

After saying that, Shen Yan left expressionlessly in her high heels.

Shen Yan had a great time at the banquet. The photos of her wearing the Moonlight Goddess were trending on the internet. Although there were some haters, there were also some passers-by who left comments praising Shen Yan’s beauty.

The next trending search was “Who is Shen Yan’s sponsor?” Nothing was found, no matter how much some enthusiastic netizens dug into Shen Yan’s past.

On the other side, Old Master Fu threw his phone aside angrily and ordered his butler, “Go and conduct a background check on Shen Yan.”
