"No matter how ignorant she is, surely she should know the dress code given the occasion?"
"Did no one teach her that? What a disgrace."
"Yeah, I wonder who allowed her to come here dressed like that."
A few women made some cutting remarks.
"I did," answered Lu Chengzhou in his deep and aloof voice as he slowly turned toward the group of socialites who were ridiculing his date. His smile, however, did not reach his eyes.
Having never expected him to speak up for the woman, they stared dumbly back at him in shock. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
His smirk grew deeper and colder. "What? Are you teaching me social etiquette?"
Their expressions stiffened as panic flashed across their eyes. Although they dared to make comments about the young masterโs date, they dared not offend him. A stifling, icy atmosphere descended upon them. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ต.๐๐ค๐ข
Afraid that they would implicate their own families, the socialites instinctively turned to Yu Shu for help. Yu Shu pursed her lips and summoned her courage to say, "Chengzhou, they just find Ms. Guโs dress to be inappropriate. They mean no harm."
"Inappropriate?" repeated Lu Chengzhou lazily before lowering his gaze at the lady standing next to him to look at her side. "Sheโs pretty, so she looks good in anything she wears."
He Yidu and everyone else were silent.
The socialites flushed in embarrassment when they heard his comment. It felt as though they had been called ugly right in their faces.
Right at that moment, someone, who could not tolerate the humiliation, blurted, "Sheโs probably dressed so casually because she couldnโt afford to purchase a gown."
There was no one at the banquet who had a dress worth less than one million.
What sane person would not care how they looked at a banquet where everyone wanted to be in the limelight? And this person, who never attended a banquet before, thought she could do whatever she wanted just because she had a pretty face?
