All people, on certain occasions and in certain places, will show a completely different side from the usual, and behave strangely to the people around them.

But this is only temporary, because your nature will not change easily, even if you show grace and luxury one second, and the next second you fade away from the false mask, you are still the most authentic version of yourself.

But until then, you still have to wear this mask and hide your truest smiling face under this mask...

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Oh! You are Chen Rui, who is often mentioned in Ouyang's mouth! What an honor to meet you! (English)"

Ouyang Ze took me through the crowd, visited a pair of business tycoons, and also appreciated one business star after another. I was like a huge diamond in his hand, so much so that I surprised them everywhere I went.

Although I don't know how Ouyang Ze described me in front of them, I can guess that he must have said good things when I saw their dumbfounded looks and the real and enthusiastic smiles.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall. The more you stand on the cusp of the limelight, the more likely you are to be jealous. In the same way, while enjoying the praise of everyone, I still heard discordant voices in some corners.

I didn't see what the people who were talking about looked like, but I knew from their voices that they were boring gossip girls. At that time, a scream popped out from time to time, which also exposed the immature nature of their minds.

It's like we're shopping at a mall, and that long dining table is the shop we need to visit. But wherever we went, the disgusting voice followed.

Since I have chosen this path, I will not give up, since I have chosen to be with Ouyang Ze, I will be able to bear the discussion of others, and since I have chosen to marry him, I will naturally learn to bear the incomprehension of the world.

So in the face of those who are talking behind my back, I still take a non-attitude of ignoring it. Or face them with that cold spine, let them continue to taste the pleasure of chewing the root of the tongue...

Perhaps it was because of the gorgeous disguise that I didn't feel anything in the face of the splendid decorations, as if I was at home, and the tension and uneasiness that should have belonged to me didn't seem to belong to me at this time.

"Rui Rui, how's it going? It's not as bad as you think, is it? Although they are all rich and powerful people, they are also quite kind to you, what do you think? ”

It's rare to have a free time to stop and rest, but even so, Ouyang Ze still didn't miss the opportunity to talk to me, and still asked me about the attitude of the "proud" personality towards this drinking party.

It's only when I stop when I'm most relaxed, and it's also when I'm most nervous. When I heard his words, somehow, the aura that was still around me just now disappeared all at once, and I suddenly became an ordinary person again, and the emotions I should have returned to me.

"Uh... Still... It's okay..."

If it weren't for Ouyang Ze's reminder, I wouldn't have realized that I was having dinner with some business tycoons right now, and I wouldn't have realized what a heavyweight meeting this was.

Without their kind tone and sincere smiles, the tuxedos they wore were once again cold, no longer as approachable as before, and I could no longer be allowed to talk to them as calmly as I had just been.

The whole atmosphere is no longer the same, they have become as cold as the décor here, and the gorgeous appearance and radiant back make me feel alienated and strange...

Perhaps, only the moment when they show a smile is their truest and kindest moment. But... Is the same with Ouyang Ze?

The pale yellow liquid smelled of alcohol, and even though it was contained in a clear glass, imprisoning the flowing qualities, they still attracted me with their seductive appearance, and I had to hold them up and put them in my mouth.

"Hey! Rui Rui! ”

In the moment of leisure, a familiar shout came from nowhere. The background music wasn't too loud, but it overshadowed his voice, making it impossible for me to tell where it was.

Ouyang Ze and I were both looking around, but not long after, the man walked out of the crowd by himself and walked in front of us with a glass of champagne.

"Xu Shaohui? Why are you here? ”

Although Ouyang Ze and I said the same sentence, the expressions of the two of us were completely different.

I had a smile on my face because he was the only acquaintance I knew here, and having him would give me some courage.

But Ouyang Ze's face was full of surprise, his big mouth was eager to eat the cup in his hand, and his widening eyes were as shocked as if he had seen Sadako.

"This drinking party can only be entered by the upper class, why are you here?"

Ouyang Ze still asked, his surprised expression did make me feel strange. His surprise was not unreasonable, I didn't say anything to him about today's reception, and Xu Shaohui didn't know at all, plus he was a small clerk in Ouyang Ze's company, how could he be qualified to appear here.

Soon, our questions changed his face, which was still full of spring breeze, and now his smile was stiff on his face.

"Uh... I... I..."

Xu Shaohui said hesitantly, shaking the wine glass in his hand from time to time, as if praying that the wine glass could give him an excuse to appear here.

"I... I'm because..."

After being stared at by me and Ouyang Ze for a long time, Xu Shaohui still didn't say why. But the more he did this, the more uneasy I felt, and I always felt that he was hiding something from me.

"That's... Ouyang, let me say something to Rui Rui, can you..."

Xu Shaohui said to Ouyang Ze with a smile. Ouyang Ze didn't refuse, he just took out a smile and turned around and walked into someone else's pile, but in fact, he was still peeking at our movements here.

"Whew..."

Ouyang Ze's departure seemed to have relieved Xu Shaohui of a heavy burden, and that long breath sounded a little strange.

"Ouyang Ze is gone, now you can talk about it."

Although Ouyang Ze is no longer by my side, Xu Shaohui is still very cautious, and still turns his head to look in the direction of Ouyang Ze from time to time, for fear that he will come over and listen to what he has to say.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Hmm!"

"However, when you hear it, you must not be surprised, stay calm, and don't show your frightened expression."

Although he said it in a weird way, I still agreed.

"Good..."
