Friends and acquaintances came trickling in, and even after the first round of drinks was over, Xiao Chun still hadn’t lost track of her original motive. She crossed her legs and leaned back on the couch. She looked at Su Ziqian haughtily and said, “Miss Su, since everyone is in such a good mood today, why don’t you sing a song to enliven the atmosphere even more?”
Although she had worded it as a request, it was actually a command!
Xiao Chun wanted her to sing a song to liven up the atmosphere? Who did she think she was to ostracize and humiliate her that way?
The smile on Su Ziqian’s face disappeared immediately, and she went silent.
Xiao Chun’s eyes were full of provocation, and she didn’t mince her words. “Why? Are you unwilling to? Are you looking down on us? Do you hold yourself above us?”
As Xiao Chun spoke the words “hold yourself above us,” she made sure to enunciate her words clearly.
Everyone present there was from a rich and powerful family and was somebody of status. Even Xu Weilai, who was the laughingstock of the group, had been born to a proper and respected family. They were all individuals from the upper cla.s.s. But what was Su Ziqian?
No matter how popular she was in the entertainment industry, without the firm backing of a powerful family, she was nothing more than an outcast actress. If not for the support of Gu Yu, the prince of the Gu family, she would never have even possessed the right to appear at such a gathering.
Therefore, the phrase “hold yourself above us” had been uttered as a ma.s.sive joke!
However, she was, after all, the pampered consort of the prince. Even if everyone looked down on her, no one could risk offending the prince and thus wouldn’t dare do so outrightly.
Su Ziqian was stunned by Xiao Chun’s words, and her eyes reddened.
She could sense everyone in the room looking at her, their eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with glee over her misfortune. Their looks were scornful and mocking.
