Chapter 236 - A Vicious Tongue
Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead's Daughter
[Manxi]: âNo need. By the way, have you seen Chuchu?â
Zhao Manshi raised her head and looked around. She saw Gu Chu and Cheng Qi in front of another snack table. Gu Chu liked the desserts at the birthday banquet very much. Her cheeks were puffy from eating.
[Manshi]: âThe Young Master of the Cheng family is by Chuchuâs side. There are two bodyguards beside her too. Sis, donât worry. Chuchu is smart and sensible. There wonât be any trouble.â
[Manxi]: âIâm going to the studio to shoot the advertisement soon. Talk to you later. Donât drink at the birthday banquet. Drinking is bad for your health.â
[Manshi]:â(?ï¿£?ï¿£?) okay.â
Zhao Manshi put down her phone and looked around the luxurious dessert table. She picked out a few exquisite pastries and asked the waiter to find a gift box to pack them up.
âYo, isnât this Miss Zhao? Why are you sitting here alone?â
âYouâre even packing pastries. Could it be that your family is bankrupt?â
âWhat do you know? Itâs Miss Cheng who is the most beautiful woman in the world today. Miss Zhao would lose face if she were to be compared to her. Thatâs why sheâs hiding.â
âI heard that Miss Zhao is preparing to enter the entertainment industry. Sheâs going through all that just to get close to President Song.â
A flirtatious mocking voice fell into her ears.
Zhao Manshi put down the delicate snack in her hand and took a snow-white napkin to wipe her fingers. There were countless socialites in the capital, so there were naturally places where there were many women who wished to compete. Zhao Manshi was good-looking, well-educated, and reasonable. She was the object of admiration for many of the capitalâs wealthy and influential people, and was also the target of jealousy for the socialites.
Zhao Manshi sized up the three women in front of her from head to toe, exuding a flamboyant air.
âWaiter.â Zhao Manshi called for the waiter.
The waiter dressed in a tuxedo quickly walked over. âMiss, what do you need?â
Zhao Manshi said, âItâs Grandfather Songâs 80th birthday. How are you all in charge of order? There are over a thousand ducks here. Theyâre so noisy that my ears hurt.â
The waiter was stunned. âDucks?â
Zhao Manshi poked with her slender fingers and pointed at the three socialites. âHere, 1,500 ducks. Theyâre so noisy.â
The waiter: â¦
âZhao Manshi, what do you mean? ! Youâre calling me a duck?â One of the socialites was so angry that her face turned red, âYouâre the one who wanted to seduce Song Chen. Everyone in the capital knows that! Now that President Songâs fiancée is here, youâre hiding far away. If youâre not feeling guilty, then who is?â
âThatâs right. Some people still think that theyâre so good-looking. Compared to Cheng Qingyun, theyâre nothing.â The woman beside her sneered.
Zhao Manshi was not angry. Her demeanor was dignified, her smile was appropriate and ironic. âEven if Iâm not as good-looking as Cheng Qingyun, Iâm still far better than the three of you. When you have time, look in the mirror. Look at your faces. Theyâre so ugly that they look like a murder case. If I were you, I would stay home because of how ugly I am.â
The three socialites were so angry that their faces were red. âYou ââ
âWhat? I gave up on pursuing Song Chen a long time ago.â Zhao Manshi was still elegant and dignified. She spat out the most âgentleâ words from her mouth. From afar, the onlookers thought that she was reciting a poem, âOn the other hand, the three of you like Song Chen but donât dare to pursue him. You only dare to gossip behind his back. Donât glare at me, donât quarrel with me. I donât want others to misunderstand that Iâm communicating with pigs.â
The three socialites: ââ¦â
The staff beside her: ââ¦â
Zhao Manshiâs mouth wasnât actually that vicious, but she had recently been filming in Lu Shanheâs crew and had been influenced by him. The supporting actress of Lu Shanheâs film was a mischievous and unruly missy. The moment she opened her mouth, it was a scene of disaster.
Zhao Manshi just said a lot of words, but in fact, she learnt half of them from her script. Roasting people never felt so good.
