For men, young and beautiful women can bring them vanity. Similarly, for women, a loving husband was their capital for showing off, making others envious.

In a group of women gathered together, the atmosphere seemed harmonious and cheerful, but in reality, they were subtly praising while belittling each other in their competition.

Only Shu Pan maintained a faint smile on her face and stayed silent on the sidelines.

The husband she loved not only didn’t love her back, but also hated her. What could be more tragic than that? She had nothing to show off about.

Initially, it was bearable, but as time passed, Shu Pan started feeling increasingly uncomfortable. She looked around, hoping to find a place to escape. Suddenly, a voice called out to her, “You’re Shu Pan, right? I’ve heard Shaoting mention you.” The voice was soft and gentle, making her involuntarily turn her head.

Though she couldn’t see the person, she could sense that the voice belonged to an attractive woman.

Shu Pan’s body tensed, a bad feeling rising within her heart. She turned around to find Tong Fei indeed standing there.

Shu Pan thought, if Xiaomeng were here, she’d definitely mock Tong Fei mercilessly. But Shu Pan had never been able to be confrontational, and in this kind of situation, she truly wanted to keep her distance. Yet, here she was, approaching Shu Pan. It was truly helpless.

Tong Fei faced Shu Pan and giggled sweetly, “Ms. Shu, I’ve long heard of your reputation. A few days ago, I happened to meet Shaoting in the US. I wonder how Miss Shu feels about the news in the newspapers?”

Shu Pan’s fingertips trembled slightly, but her face remained emotionless, still displaying that calm demeanor.

Tong Fei’s impact was like a fist striking cotton. Then she whispered in Shu Pan’s ear, “What’s the point of clinging to Mrs. Gu’s position? Shaoting doesn’t love you. He was only playing a role with you before. If you’re sensible, it’s best to get a divorce as soon as possible.”

“Ms. Tong, isn’t it? Thank you for your concern, but this is a matter between my husband and me. I’d appreciate it if an outsider like you wouldn’t get involved. After all, crossing boundaries wouldn’t be good for Ms. Tong’s reputation or career.” Shu Pan couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, her anger rising. She wanted to say aloud, if Tong Fei could make Gu Shaoting divorce her, she might actually thank her!

“Oh my, isn’t that the famous model Tong Fei? She’s here too. It seems her relationship with Gu Shaoting is quite something. Look at her, even women are moved by her allure. It’s no wonder Gu Shaoting fell for her seductive charm.” The slightly plump woman who was flaunting her limited edition bag suddenly spoke up, her voice slightly lowered but sharp enough to be heard.

“That’s right, Mr. Gu is handsome and wealthy. It’s only natural for so many women to be drawn to him. Who wouldn’t be tempted?”

Shu Pan saw that Tong Fei was completely composed, and not at all embarrassed. She couldn’t help but inwardly criticize her, thinking that people truly have no shame. In the eyes of women, Gu Shaoting was like a delicious treat.

As Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan’s marriage had been low-key without extravagant celebrations, and only a few people knew about it, many were unfamiliar with Shu Pan. Shu Pan was fine with that.

Seeing that Shu Pan was out of her element, Tong Fei also lost interest. She turned and approached Song Can, leaving behind a faint fragrance that made Shu Pan feel nauseous.

By around 6 0’clock, most of the guests had arrived. The food and pastries were ready, and the minor disturbances had passed. The guests enjoyed themselves.

Throughout the evening, Gu Shaoting was busy greeting friends, family, and business partners. Shu Pan felt like an outsider, completely excluded. Neither Gu Shaoting nor Song Can seemed interested in introducing her. This was for the best, as gradually, she would withdraw from their circle..
