Magic Doctor: CEO Lady’s Humble Husband (full story)

Chapter 182

Fade Chen was walking right behind them. Although there were separated by some distance in

between, he could still hear their conversation loud and clear. It was nothing more than to encourage

Momo Soo to seize the opportunity of meeting with the rich and powerful of Hanover City and leave

them with a lasting impression of herself. At the same time, Chesca Tan repeatedly insinuated the good

chemistry between their families, hinting that there could be a possible joint venture underway once an

opportunity arose. Momo Soo was never a fan of these events, but after a brief consultation with Fade

Chen that this was a societal norm, she went with it anyways. They made their way into the venue after

chatting for a while. Chessca Tan started introducing Momo Soo as a member of the Soo Family in

South Bay City to the various millionaires of Hanover City. Moreover, with Momo Soo’s sweet and

lovely appearance, she quickly became the center of attention, with a lot of people buttering

themselves up to her. Chesca Tan was able to find some time in between and she walked towards the

other two, her face blanketed by dark clouds as she looked at Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang who were

eating. She growled at them and spoke in a low tone, "Come with me." Both Fade Chen and Yuri

Zhang were feeling a little displeased, but they followed her to the corner of the room anyways. Without

Mom Solo with them, Chesca Tan get rid of her sweet disguise as she looked at them with a straight

face and said, "I’ll just tell you the truth. Attendees of this gala are the rich and powerful of Hanover

City. Their net worth is at least in the ten millions. If it weren’t for the fact that Momo had insisted, I

would’ve never let people like you come to a place like this." "People like us!" Fade Chen’s eyes

narrowed, his expression darkening Chesca Tan peeked at him indifferently and she added, "That

wasn’t an insult, this is how society works. If you don’t belong to one of the higher ups, the gap would

only get wider from here." "Be mindful of your actions and be careful of what you say tonight. Don’t

cause any trouble, because you won’t be able to afford the consequences." Chesca Tan said, her voice

mixed in with a hint of warning. "Also, be mindful of your image when you’re eating to not expose

yourselves as bumpkins. You’re embarrassing me." "Senior, we.." Even the well- tempered Yuri Zhang

was starting to get a little pissed off. However, Chessca Tan’s condescending attitude didn’t stop there

as she said, "Don’t call me your senior. Know your place. Hide in a corner at best, don’t show up and

humiliate yourselves." Chesca Tan stole a glance behind her when she heard footsteps and saw that it

was Momo Soo walking in her direction, so she said hastily, "Sure, it’s also an opportunity for people

like you to be able to attend a gala like this. Have yourselves a little self- consciousness and seize the

opportunity. Maybe that rich young lady over there’s in a good mood and she’ll sponsor you thousands

of yuan. Itll be enough for your spending in the next couple of years." "No, we..." Yuri Zhang chimed in.

But before she could finish, a smile crept its way onto Chessca Tan’s face as she turned around to

come face to face with Momo Soo. Still beaming brightly, she asked, "Momo, how is it going ? Those

are the young and talented men of Hanover City. I can help you set up a meeting if you’re interested in

any of them." Momo Soo smiled politely and said, "I’ll pass. Also, senior, they seem to be talking about

you, so why don’t you join them back there ? "They’re talking about me!" Chesca Tan face lit up with

astonishment as she smoothed the creases on her dress and made her way back to the group of

people. Momo Soo stuck her tongue out at Chesca Tan behind her back, then smiled at Yuri Zhang and

Fade Chen as she said, "I can finally breathe. They’re just a group of people smiling fakely and talking

endlessly about stocks, corporations, funds, capital markets and what not. It’s so boring." "By the way,

senior didn’t do anything to you guys, right?" Momo Soo couldn’t help but ask when she noticed the

defeated expression on Yuri Zhang’s face. Yuri Zhang didn’t want to put Momo Soo through the trouble,

so she just smiled and said, "It’s fine. Brother Chen and I were just eating, everything’s just fine." "

Good then!" Momo Soo nodded and came closer as she took a slice of apple from the plate that Fade

Chen was holding. She stuffed it into her mouth and started chewing noisily. "These people, I can’t

seem to figure them out. They said it was a dinner, but there’s nothing to eat at all. I can’t believe I

skipped dinner for this! To stand there just talking to them for so long has made me both mentally and

physically exhausted." Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang’s moods changed for the better upon landing their

gaze on Momo Soo who was chewing up the fruits with one hand covering her mouth. Instantly,

Chessca Tan’s words flew out of their minds as they laughed out loud together. The three of them

continued eating and chatting on one side, while the conversation in Chesca Tan group gradually

heated up. Among them, a tall and handsome man wearing a suit seemed to be leading the

conversation, with several other young men and women surrounding him as they chatted away

enthusiastically. The same couldn’t be said for Chessca Tan though, she could barely get herself

involved in the conversation with that ingratiating look on her face. Evidently, she was not as high-up as

she thought she was. The few of them seemed to have come across an interesting topic, with their

voices getting louder by the second. Among them, a woman in a red dress said, "Have you guys heard

that Master Guo got beaten up ?" "I did. I heard it’s quite serious too. What happened? I would never

have expected that someone’s daring enough to land a finger on Master Guo in our Hanover City." A

man answered. The woman dressed in red rolled her eyes and said, "I have some details." "What sort

of details ? Tell us!" The others were beginning to get intrigued and the crowd became increasingly

eager. The woman in red answered mysteriously, "So this was how it went. Master Guo went on a trip

at the hot springs, and he met a rookie actress from Bay City who was filming for an advertisement.

She must’ve been a pretty one, because Master Guo took a liking in her." "So, Master Guo asked the

actress to dinner, and hinted some things along the way. You guys should know what they are."

Everyone nodded in response. It was evident that they had already gotten used to such unspoken rules

in society. The woman in red continued, "You guys would never have guessed the ending. Not only did

the actress refuse Master Guo, she also asked her boyfriend to go with her, which ended up with him

beating the hell out of Master Guo." "No way, how dare they beat up Master Guo. Do they have a death

wish?" Someone exclaimed. The woman in red said, "He wasn’t just beat up for fun, he was seriously

beat up. I also heard that Master Guo was forced on his knees to apologize." "What? They made

Master Guo apologize on his knees? How did that happen ?" People were shaking their heads in

disbelief." Don’t they know that Master Guo’s father, Dominic Guo is the hotshot of the entertainment

industry in Hanover City? Have they lost their minds? Not only did they lose the opportunity, they even

had his son beat up ?" " She was probably not local and unaware of Master Guo’s reputation. This

whole thing was just huge misunderstanding." "Hmph, it could be a misunderstanding. Just you wait

until Master Guo wraps his head around it. The actress can forget about making it big entirely, she’s

just waiting to be banned from the industry." "The actress is a complete fool, if you ask me. It’s pure

luck to have yourself fancied by Master Guo as a rookie. Who’d knew that she didn’t have good taste.

This is simply, tsk, tsk." "True, speaking of unspoken rules, we have so many female celebrities in

Hanover City waiting in line to get close to Master Guo. Yet, none of them even stood a chance." "If you

ask me, her innocence is just an act to play hard to get

with Master Guo. She just didn’t think that she’d hit a snag. I mean, she could be in tears, regretting

about it so much right now!".
