Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 194 - 123 Auction

Lin Man’s eyes widened, a bit incredulously, but also seemingly pleased, "Who allowed you to like me? Are you crazy, you, I—"

Shu Wan’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Any other issues?"

"No, just go already," Lin Man forced herself to stay calm, "and don’t hold up my things."

Shu Wan indeed walked away. Watching her retreating figure, Lin Man felt somewhat uneasy again, "Go ask her,"

Her assistant played dumb, "Ask what?"

Lin Man patted her assistant’s arm, "Go ask her why she likes me, what she likes about me."

The assistant smirked, "I thought you hated Shu Wan. So why do you care what she thinks?"

Lin Man glared at the assistant, "Are you going or not? If not, I’m docking your bonus."

"Okay, okay, Miss High and Mighty, I’ll go, alright?"

The assistant hurried up to catch up with Shu Wan and after exchanging a few words, returned.

Lin Man looked at her assistant’s face, which wore a half-smile, and felt sure that Shu Wan hadn’t said anything nice.

But ultimately, she couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked, "What did she say?"

"She said she likes how ’silly’ you are." The assistant thought Shu Wan’s comment was fairly accurate, "It’s kind of cute, being silly."

"...Who are you calling silly!!!" Lin Man exploded, "Could I become a top-tier actress if I were silly?!! Just because she scored as a top scorer in the college entrance exam, what gives her the right to call me silly! Being a top scorer is so great, huh!"

The assistant quietly added fuel to the fire, "Indeed, it’s impressive."

"..." Lin Man rolled her eyes, "When I have a daughter, I’ll make sure she becomes a top scorer too."

"Forget it, if intelligence depends on you, she probably won’t make it."

"I’m docking your bonus!!!"

The assistant shrugged, displaying a fearless demeanor, having long realized that Lin Man was all bark and no bite.

With less than two hours left before the charity dinner, after leaving the Film and Television City, Shu Wan had the driver take her directly to the venue of the charity dinner.

Attending a charity dinner obviously meant one couldn’t wear casual clothes, but neither could they be too lavish.

Shu Wan casually bought a simple dress from a mall by the road, put on makeup in the car, and headed straight to the charity dinner.

In her previous life, Shu Wan had often organized similar charity fundraising activities. Modern charity dinners, although more varied in form, essentially remained the same.

They consisted of charitable individuals donating items from their collections for rich people to bid on, with the funds raised going to charity.

When Shu Wan reached the entrance hall of the dinner, she took out her invitation, but the reception staff took one look at her invitation and her attire, their expression somewhat disdainful, "Isn’t your male companion coming?"

"What male companion?" Shu Wan had gotten her invitation from Qin Lv.

It wasn’t for any particular reason, other than her stumbling upon an online introduction about this charity dinner and finding some of the exhibits rather beautiful, which made her curious to see them in person.

Faced with the staff’s question, Shu Wan was puzzled, "Is it mandatory to come in pairs?"

Just then, a lavishly dressed lady approached and the staff, without even glancing at the invitation, respectfully bowed to her, "Hello, please come this way."

At this, what more did Shu Wan need to understand?

She looked down at her attire that day, which was indeed quite simple.

But she had an invitation. The staff had no right to stop her from entering.

Shu Wan didn’t care about the staff’s attitude and just walked straight in.

"Hey, you haven’t answered the question yet. How can you just walk in like that? This isn’t some cheap marketplace outside where anyone can enter."

Shu Wan turned her head, her cool gaze falling on the staff member, "My name is on the invitation. Do you have any reason not to let me in?"

The staff member, feeling the pressure from Shu Wan’s stare and probably judging her status from her attire, didn’t want to be outdone by Shu Wan. Even knowing they were in the wrong, they refused to back down.

"I’m the receptionist. I say you’re not qualified, so you have to wait here," the staff said, tossing Shu Wan’s invitation aside, "Wait until I verify that this is legitimate, then you can go in."

Shu Wan was the kind of person who wouldn’t start trouble but was absolutely no pushover when deliberately provoked.

At this moment, faced with the staff’s blatant disrespect, Shu Wan completely disregarded the whispering around her.
