Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Increase the Fun

Before Bai Xiaoya could search for the organizers, the lights at the venue suddenly dimmed.

Immediately after, a series of bright lights converged on the entrance.

A woman in her thirties, dressed in a black evening gown, with a full figure and a refined aura, walked in.

Behind her followed two female bodyguards with unremarkable appearances.

With a powerful presence, many people at the scene dared not look at her and lowered their heads one after another.

The woman walked step by step.

As she passed by An Nuonuo, she glanced at her.

Her eyes carried an indescribable meaning.

With a light chuckle, she walked past.

Only after she had gone did Chu Youwei breathe a sigh of relief, her face a picture of lingering fear, “That sister is so scary. Just now, I felt like someone was choking me, making it hard to breathe.”

“She took a seat at the first table,” Bai Xiaoya said in a grave tone.

The woman in black sat in the spot that was originally supposed to be for An Nuonuo and her group.

Apart from her, no one else approached the table.

One of the organizers ran over, kneeling and scraping in front of the woman, looking utterly subservient.

It was unclear what they were discussing, but the organizer kept nodding and bowing from time to time.

After a while, the person in charge stood up, cleared his throat, and said, “Welcome, everyone, to tonight’s banquet. Please take your seats.”

As his words ended, a melodious tune began to play in the arena.

The guests began to take their seats.

Many glanced with amusement at An Nuonuo and her group, who were still standing.

Bai Xiaoya, known for her hot temper, could hardly stand it.

She was about to confront the organizers, but An Nuonuo pulled her back.

She whispered, “Let’s just let it go, we can sit at the very last table.”

“Yes,” Chu Youwei also chimed in, “That woman in black, you can tell she’s powerful.

And she seems to have hostility towards us. Let’s just endure it. Let’s not cause trouble for Mr. Jiang.”

“Huff, huff, huff!” Bai Xiaoya took several deep breaths to barely suppress her anger and said through gritted teeth, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

She wasn’t completely oblivious to the bigger picture.

Thinking more deeply about it.

From the moment they arrived, it was as if they had been isolated from the others.

It seemed deliberate to provoke anger in the three of them, step by step luring them into a loss of rationality.

If they reacted angrily at this moment, they might fall into the opponent’s trap.

Seeing the three of them seated at the last table, quite a few people had mocking smiles on their faces.

Bai Xiaoya asked An Nuonuo, “Do you know that woman? I feel like she’s targeting you.”

“I don’t know her,” An Nuonuo shook her head, “I find it strange too.”

Given her personality, she naturally would not have offended anyone deliberately.

Bai Xiaoya speculated, “It must be that the person that woman likes doesn’t like her, but likes you instead. That’s why she’s deliberately targeting you.”

“That… probably not?” An Nuonuo said uncertainly.

She herself was somewhat lacking in confidence.

Because such things had happened before.

There were videographers recording videos.

The woman in black was not captured in any of them.

However, other school beauties ranked after An Nuonuo received plenty of camera time.

Straight after, the videographer came to the table where An Nuonuo was seated.

The camera swept over the faces of the three people, but lingered on the nameplate on the table for a whole five seconds.

The mockery and humiliation were very apparent.

Nevertheless, the three of them did not show any reaction.

It was best to stay calm without knowing the background of the adversary.

Thus, the three of them ignored the camera and chatted among themselves.

Meanwhile, the food was being served.

The air was filled with the aroma of various dishes.

Various top-grade ingredients were brought to the tables.

Many people let out exclamations of amazement.

A lot of the ingredients were ones they hadn’t even heard of before.

However, when it came to An Nuonuo’s table, what was served were the likes of spicy hotpot, stir-fried greens, and stinky tofu—dishes that were hardly presentable in such a setting.

Even more outrageous was the serving of a fish that was clearly partially eaten—it was incomplete!

Even the usually good-tempered Nuonuo felt that this was way too much.

This was outright bullying.

“Shall we just leave?” Chu Youwei suggested.

“I’m calling Jiang Xu,” Bai Xiaoya said angrily, taking out her phone.

Though she was very angry, desperate to rush over and slap the organizer’s face right there and then,

she held back.

She decided to tell Jiang Xu about it first, to see what he had to say.

Nuonuo wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

At that moment, Jiang Xu was at home playing League of Legends.

He had registered a new account and was rampaging through the beginner’s area.

Bullying newcomers brought no real benefits aside from joy.

The peak concurrent player count for League of Legends had now surpassed eight million.

Bear in mind that in his past life, this game’s highest domestic concurrent player count didn’t even reach over seven million.

It had far surpassed the numbers of his previous life.

But this glory would only last for two more years.

After that, as mobile phones became more powerful, and various mobile games emerged,

especially with the release of King of Glory, the number of League of Legends players would greatly decrease.

So, taking advantage of League of Legends still being at its peak,

Jiang Xu demanded that the game team release at least five new skins every week.

He wanted to give the broad player base more good-looking skins to use, for fun (and profit).

After trouncing another newbie, Jiang Xu was about to start another round when he got the call from Bai Xiaoya.

“What’s up?”

“Jiang Xu, we’re being bullied…”

Bai Xiaoya went on and on with her story.

A dangerous glint appeared in Jiang Xu’s eyes, “Alright, I got it. Don’t worry, I’m going to look up the woman you mentioned.”

After hanging up, Jiang Xu received a photo from Bai Xiaoya.

It was the one she had secretly snapped of that woman in black.

He immediately utilized his information network to start digging for details about the woman.

He also dispatched twenty more bodyguards to wait over there.

About half an hour later, some of the woman’s information was sent to Jiang Xu’s phone.

“I see,” Jiang Xu murmured to himself.

Then he got up and left the house.

…

While other tables were thoroughly enjoying the fine food and wine amidst laughter and chatter,

An Nuonuo’s table was faced with barely swallowable food.

It wasn’t just because the food was completely unfit for the banquet, but also because everything tasted spoiled.

Even the drinks had an odd flavor.

One speculated that even pigs wouldn’t eat this.

Not a word was spoken among the three, their faces somber.

Just then, the person in charge from the organizing side approached.

Her back towards the woman in black, she explained in a low voice with a bitter smile, “I’m sorry, I’m just following orders.

That miss wants you all to come over and toast her, and you’ll have to use the wine on this table.”
