"No matter how ignorant she is, surely she should know the dress code given the occasion?"

"Did no one teach her that? What a disgrace."

"Yeah, I wonder who allowed her to come here dressed like that."

A few women made some cutting remarks.

"I did," answered Lu Chengzhou in his deep and aloof voice as he slowly turned toward the group of socialites who were ridiculing his date. His smile, however, did not reach his eyes.

Having never expected him to speak up for the woman, they stared dumbly back at him in shock. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

His smirk grew deeper and colder. "What? Are you teaching me social etiquette?"

Their expressions stiffened as panic flashed across their eyes. Although they dared to make comments about the young master’s date, they dared not offend him. A stifling, icy atmosphere descended upon them. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Afraid that they would implicate their own families, the socialites instinctively turned to Yu Shu for help. Yu Shu pursed her lips and summoned her courage to say, "Chengzhou, they just find Ms. Gu’s dress to be inappropriate. They mean no harm."

"Inappropriate?" repeated Lu Chengzhou lazily before lowering his gaze at the lady standing next to him to look at her side. "She’s pretty, so she looks good in anything she wears."

He Yidu and everyone else were silent.

The socialites flushed in embarrassment when they heard his comment. It felt as though they had been called ugly right in their faces.

Right at that moment, someone, who could not tolerate the humiliation, blurted, "She’s probably dressed so casually because she couldn’t afford to purchase a gown."

There was no one at the banquet who had a dress worth less than one million.

What sane person would not care how they looked at a banquet where everyone wanted to be in the limelight? And this person, who never attended a banquet before, thought she could do whatever she wanted just because she had a pretty face?

"I believe a lot of people don’t know about this yet..." The CEO paused, the smile remaining on his face. "So I would like to take this chance to mention that Lan Ting’s chief designer, God G, holds 51% of the company’s shares. That person is Gu Mang."

Everyone’s expressions immediately changed upon hearing this news.

51% of the company’s shares?

So Ji Heng only had 49% and the person really in control of Lan Ting was actually Gu Mang?

Lan Ting did not belong to the Ji family?!

He Yidu looked at Gu Mang in shock. Everyone thought that Ji Heng and Lan Ting’s chief designer each held 50% of the company’s shares and that the former held the management rights.

No one expected the young lady to have such sway.
