Chapter 373: The B*tch Who Looked Like a G.o.ddess
The engagement banquet was very extravagant.
Due to the Mu Family’s influence, hundreds of upper-cla.s.s families were invited.
The Li Family also had a long history and Old Master Li had good relations with highly reverent people. All of them had good upbringings and were cultured.
Lin Kerou was very dazzling as a guest today.
She stood tall with her slim figure.
Her exquisite makeup complemented her outfit—a silver-white gauze dress. It shone endlessly under the reflection of the luxurious crystal lights.
There were two layers of chiffon wrapped around her shoulders and they gently fluttered when she walked, giving her a heavenly look.
From the moment she entered, she caught the attention of many people.
“That’s Lin Kerou, right? Wow, she’s more beautiful than I imagined.”
“She recently became quite famous and there’s a rumor recently that she was…”
“Shh…”
…
Li Meng stood beside her and lived in her shadow. Few people noticed her.
However, when she heard the gossip around her, she seemed upset.
Li Meng nudged Lin Kerou and whispered, “Kerou, I’m going to the bathroom for a while.”
“Okay.”
Once Li Meng left, more people started looking at Lin Kerou.
Tong Yujia had not seen Lin Kerou in a long time. Now that she saw her, she ran up and complimented her. “Cousin, you look beautiful today. Many people are looking at you.”
Everyone liked hearing praise.
Lin Kerou smiled. Before she could answer, she heard a sneer. “There are many people looking at her, but it’s not because she’s beautiful.”
Li Xueqing and two girls walked over. Lin Kerou immediately recognized them. One was from the affluent Zhuang family, Zhuang Yu, and the other was Li Meng’s cousin, Li Ying.
Zhuang Yu gloated over Lin Kerou’s misfortune. “A few days ago I heard you were at that bar. Did you have fun?”
Lin Kerou immediately knew that it was a sarcastic remark.
Her heart sank and she pretended to misunderstand her. “It’s fine and not really fun. It’s just a normal entertainment venue.”
“Oh. I heard you had a chance encounter there, so I’m sure you had more fun than others,” Li Ying said and nudged Li Xueqing. “Xueqing, are you sure it’s her?”
“Yes. How can I be wrong?” Li Xueqing said firmly. “Some time ago, she was crying that she was a virgin, but it seems that she was lonely a few days ago and gave herself to someone. What a joke.”
Lin Kerou’s face darkened. “Watch what you’re saying!”
“I’m not the only one saying this.” Li Xueqing pointed at the crowd. “Everyone knows you were drugged. I heard that there were many people there. I can’t believe you still have the guts to be here.”
“Your dress is very beautiful.” Zhuang Yu tugged the elegant gauze on her dress. “A b*tch dressed like a G.o.ddess.”
Li Xueqing and Li Ying laughed sarcastically and disdainfully.
Besides them, everyone around her started to stare at her.
There were many onlookers, but no one spoke up for her.
Lin Kerou felt aggrieved and reb.u.t.ted in annoyance. “It wasn’t me!”
“Who was it, then?” Zhuang Yu seized the opportunity to ask the question. “Someone exposed you and every news outlet is saying that it’s you. How can you say that with a straight face? Are you shameless?”
“Forget it. There’s no one with thicker skin than you. You even used to say that you and Young Master Mu were only like siblings and had no questionable relations.h.i.+p. Recently, suggestive photos of an affair with her and Young Master Mu were leaked.”
