As they looked at each other, both of them already knew what the other was thinking.

Then, Su Rui noticed the girl who appeared to be unhappy and frowning was walking towards her valiantly.

Wait!

Su Rui was stunned.

Normally, shouldn’t we be looking at each other awkwardly and pretending that we had not seen each other at all. Then, we would pretend that we haven’t seen each other, turn our heads calmly, and then judge each other silently in our hearts. Where is the silent comparison, ‘this person didn’t match her outfit here and there’, and that ‘you are inferior to me’, and dispute over it?

“You look good in this dress?” When Su Rui was stunned, the girl had approached Su Rui. She sized up Su Rui, and sulkily miffed.

“Hm?” When Su Rui heard her, she stared blankly and then she reacted. She couldn’t help but laugh.

“Puh Haha” Su Rui couldn’t control and chuckled twice. She looked at her and said, “So, are you bragging about your dress indirectly?”

“You–”

Obviously, she didn’t expect Su Rui to say that at all. As she heard Su Rui’s words, she was taken aback. What she had prepared to say was stuck in her throat, and she didn’t find a chance to say it.

“But it’s really beautiful…” Su Rui looked at herself and the other party’s dress and murmured.

Although the two skirts were of the same series, the colour and materials are almost the same, they have their own uniqueness in the design.

To say which dress was better, Su Rui wasn’t sure.

Oh, no wonder she used to come across on the internet to buy every size amongst the same design of bags, and to buy every colour of this series of lipsticks.

Before, Su Rui always thought that those people were pretentious. [1] Now, it seems that it wasn’t necessarily that.

It seemed that Su Rui’s thoughts were revealed in her eyes. Tang Xiao subconsciously took a step back.

“Don’t think about it. It is a high end fashion. There is only one style.” Tang Xiao pretentiously looked at Su Rui , and sceptically said.

But, to be honest, she really wanted to collect Su Rui’s dress.

“That’s true.” Su Rui nodded approvingly.

“But…” Su Rui furrowed her eyebrows and continued, “did you pay the designer extra money? Why do I feel that you have more rhinestones than me?”

“Puh, how could it be! I think your design displays more of your figure. ”

“Good taste.”

“Heh heh, then, you have good taste too.”

It turned out that the plastic friendship of two girls was always so simple.

After a wave of non-commercial mutual praises, they began to talk about more topics.

“My name is Tang Xiao.” Tang Xiao said to Su Rui.

Tang Xiao was the daughter of the chairman of Tang Jing group.

If Su Rui read a Mary Sue sweet pampered romantic novel called 《Love you again, she would have known about it.

Wasn’t Tang Xiao the younger sister of the affectionate second male lead, and the number one little crazy female fan[2] of the female lead?

This dinner banquet has also appeared in the original novel.

At this time, although the heroine has not returned to the country and officially started the plot of the novel. However, the story between a crowd of cannon fodder and supporting actors has unfolded.

In the original novel, Miss Su and Miss Tang wore the same outfit at the banquet.

But, compared to what Su Rui has experienced, Miss Su and Tang Xiao in the original novel taunted each other because of having the same outfit, which further turned into a big quarrel.

Ever since Miss Su’s blind date with Gu Yu Cheng, she has completely followed the plot of falling in love with Gu Yu Cheng, and she considered herself as Gu Yu Cheng’s fiancee anytime and anywhere.

In the quarrel with Tang Xiao, “Su Rui” moved into the Gu House.

With such actions, it naturally attracted the disgust of the Gu family.

However, the second female supporting character’s soul has silently changed to the present Su Rui.

In the original novel, an important detail of the female supporting character in the plot went through a motion of brainless conversations like this.

“Su Rui.” Su Rui smiled at Tang Xiao, and said her name.

“Su Rui? Are you the legendary Miss Su from the Su Hua group who just returned back?” Tang Xiao asked with widened eyes.

No wonder, she felt like she didn’t meet this person before.

At the beginning, Tang Xiao thought it was an 18th line actress that squeezed in this banquet.

Of course, she didn’t dare to tell Su Rui these words.

“What? Am I so well-known?” As she heard Tang Xiao’s words, Su Rui frowned.

Although the Su family’s development was not bad, it was not like the aristocratic and wealthy family like the Gu family, where a little news would be paid attention to by outsiders.

Also, Su Rui herself, and the original owner had been abroad before, and the fact that she had been lying on the hospital bed for several months after she returned from abroad, she wouldn’t have the chance to do something shocking, right?

While Su Rui was puzzled, she heard the lady standing next to her laugh.

“Hey, come on, you’re not the person who is well-known.”

“Then, who is?”

“You went on a blind date with your family recently, right?”

Tang Xiao lowered her voice and asked.

“Well, yes.” Su Rui nodded, but she had an inexplicable expression on her face.

“That is the problem.”

Why was the information so developed now? She only went for a blind date….

“It’s not you who has the problem. The problem would be your blind date. It’s Gu Yu Cheng!”

As Tang Xiao was worried that Su Rui who just returned back didn’t understand the issue, Tang Xiao explained to her Gu Yu Cheng’s certain online encyclopedia’s information.[3]

“How was it? Have you been charmed by Chairman Gu[4]?” Tang Xiao leaned close to Su Rui and asked.

“Erm, average, just like that.” Su Rui replied truthfully.

To be charmed by him? Heh heh, it’s not like I am a child who is idolising a star.

Su Rui roasted in her heart.

[1] 装X(zhuāng X)- a more ambiguous way of saying 装逼[zhuāng bī] 装13[zhuāng shí sān] which means Pretend+vagina. To make oneself look richer, more powerful, more intelligent, and more important than he or she really is.

[2] 小迷妹(xiǎo mí mèi)- It is a popular online term for female fans who are obsessed with a celebrity.

[3] 某度百科(mǒu dù bǎikē)- refers to 百度百科(Bǎidù Bǎikē) which is Baidu online encyclopedia

[4] 迷得不要不要(mí de bùyào bùyào)- When it is translated literally, it would mean ‘to be charmed, don’t want, don’t want’. It means to be charmed by the person, and it may also mean love at first sight.
