Chapter 199 - 201 [201] Surprise on the Cruise Ship 1
Nangong Yaoling’s tall figure stood upright, watching Xia Xiaonuan’s fleeing back, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.
Xia Xiaonuan had only taken a few steps from the bathroom when she heard a group of women in evening dresses chatting in the hallway.
"Hey, did you see that? There was a girl in a yellow dress, I almost passed by her, she was so clumsy, almost dropped her plate! I thought she was a servant here!"
"Yeah, I saw her too, but it seems like she knows the Crown Prince and Mr. Liang!"
"No, I heard she’s Xia Xiaonuan’s friend... Xia Xiaonuan is a daughter of high society, how could she have such clumsy friends? And she’s an actress? I’d say she performs acrobatics! Haha!"
"Exactly... Clearly from a humble background, daring to attend such an occasion, dreaming of landing a sugar daddy, truly shameless, invincible indeed..."
Xia Xiaonuan originally didn’t want to come out and confront others.
But upon hearing those last words, she was furious and couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
Just as she was about to rush up.
Suddenly, a cold male voice came from the side.
"Gossiping and insulting others behind their backs, I don’t see how women like that could be considered well-bred!"
The women were taken aback by the voice and quickly came to their senses.
"Mr... Mr. Liang..." The women’s faces changed, immediately showing a look of embarrassment.
"We..."
Seeing it was Liang Shaochen, standing tall before her, Xia Xiaonuan stiffened.
Liang Shaochen smiled faintly and said to her:
"Xiaonuan, this cruise party was supposed to be exclusive to noble ladies and prestigious daughters. It seems Young Master’s security system failed this time, letting all sorts of riffraff in."
Liang Shaochen’s slow, deliberate words made the women in front of them, originally all noble daughters, flush with embarrassment. Their faces turned red and white.
Xia Xiaonuan glanced at their faces and quickly echoed with a smile:
"Exactly! It’s my fault for not reminding Young Master well. If I tell him later, he will definitely be angry. You know his temper; if he gets mad, who knows what will happen!"
The three women exchanged panicked glances.
The leading woman, Han Jing from a jewelry company, had gone to great lengths, enlisting her father’s help, to get into this party. Her goal was to find a suitable match as everyone here was worth billions.
If she were kicked out, it would be a huge disgrace! She might never find anyone to marry her again!
Terrified, Han Jing hurried forward and said to Xia Xiaonuan and Liang Shaochen:
"Young... Young Madam... Mr. Liang, I didn’t join their conversation... I’m not friends with Young Master’s friends... Please don’t tell Young Master... I know I was wrong..."
"Young Madam... I was wrong too... Mr. Liang... I beg you..."
"Mr. Liang... Young Madam..."
The women, who had been so arrogant moments ago, now cowered before Xia Xiaonuan and Liang Shaochen like humble servants. Their expressions were obsequious and apologetic.
Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes flashed with disgust and disdain.
"But you weren’t this humble when you were insulting others just now!" Her cold voice made the women tremble.
