Chapter 249: Go By Yourself

“You look really good today,” Xu Qing sized up Mo Yan and complimented her.
Mo Yan had always denied her good looks and put little effort into makeup or styling, usually going to work bare-faced with a simple ponytail. However, she was pretty by nature.
Putting on makeup made her dazzlingly gorgeous, especially her pair of big, sparkling eyes, which were especially cute.
Mo Yan lowered her head and looked at her light blue dress. She mostly wore clothes for commuting and had few dresses suitable for such a grand occasion. In contrast, Mo Lian had a wardrobe full of limited edition dresses.
“Since I’ve already decided to participate in the charity gala, I must treat it seriously.” Mo Yan’s eyes were fixed, and a quiet smile hung on her face.!!
“You’d better be careful. After all…” Xu Qing sighed, thinking about the Mo family and their antics. Although it was a charity gala on the front, it was in fact a banquet set up to scheme against others.
“I know.” Mo Yan nodded. As soon as she went downstairs, she met Li Guoguo, who had been waiting for her for a long time.
Li Guoguo’s makeup was very exquisite. She had determinedly spent several months of her salary to buy a beautiful dress that made her appear radiant. The moment she saw Mo Yan, her entire face immediately fell.
Mo Yan had only briefly modified her makeup, but standing next to her, Li Guoguo paled in comparison.
Exasperated, Li Guoguo walked to Mo Yan’s side with a smile and begged her to bring her along.
“I’ve already given you the invitation. You can go over yourself.” Mo Yan sighed with a headache. It was already very troublesome to deal with the Mo family, but she still had to deal with Li Guoguo.
“No.” Li Guoguo was leaning against and practically blocking the door, looking at Mo Yan obediently. “I was hoping that you could introduce me.”
Mo Yan rolled her eyes and stepped forward to pull Li Guoguo away. “You can walk there on your own. I have no obligation to send you there.”
After saying that, she slammed the car door and left, leaving Li Guoguo screaming from behind without any intention of slowing down.
Li Guoguo fell and got up again. The clothes she had spent a lot of money buying had become a big mess. She was anxious and angry, and she could not help but burst into tears.
The charity gala was scheduled to be held on the first floor of a famous five-star hotel. Mo Yan arrived a little late. When she arrived, she saw that Mo Lian was already waiting for her outside, and her face showed some impatience.
Mo Lian took a few quick steps forward. She was used to being arrogant, and in the Mo family, she was in charge. It was clearly the Mo family’s charity gala, and it was meant to humiliate Mo Yan, but Mo Yan was more beautiful than herself.
Mo Lian was so angry that she immediately tried to slap Mo Yan’s face, but Mo Yan moved quickly enough to avoid it.
She grabbed Mo Lian’s wrist first, and her strength was so strong that the latter cried out in pain.
“Mo Yan, let go of me!” Mo Lian snorted angrily. After her sister married Luo Tao, she became bolder and more disobedient.
Mo Lian looked Mo Yan up and down, and the corners of her lips curled up in disdain. “I thought you were enjoying life with Luo Tao, and that you had become a decent person. I didn’t expect you to still be wearing branded clothes from three or four years ago. It’s already outdated. This set of mine is that brand’s latest model. I just took it off a big celebrity, and it’s the only one in the country.”
As if having completely forgotten how humble she was when she begged Mo Dong, Mo Lian demonstrated the common belief in clothes making the man.
Mo Yan nodded slightly. She simply felt that her set of clothes was appropriate and comfortable. As for what brand they were and which year they were released for sale, she never paid attention to it, much less be affected by Mo Lian’s exposure.
Mo Yan replied softly, “Yes, I didn’t dress as well as you did. With your set of clothes, those who don’t know that you are attending the charity gala would think that you are attending a peacock exhibition.”
“You!” Mo Lian was so angry that she stomped her feet.
“I’ll go in first. If you don’t feel embarrassed about remaining outside, you can continue standing there.” After saying that, Mo Yan walked in without looking back. The charity gala was about to start, so she had no time to argue with Mo Lian.
Mo Lian’s face was flushed red. She had wanted to humiliate Mo Yan earlier, but she unexpectedly failed to do so. If she stayed in public any longer, she would only make a fool of herself.
Mo Lian took a few quick steps and caught up to Mo Yan. She gritted her teeth and glared at her. “Mo Yan, just you wait. I won’t let you be so smug all the time.”
Mo Yan only smiled, and the two of them entered the main hall one after the other.
