Will you come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing Lu Hualiang’s rejection, she quickly added, \"My brother and my mom will also be there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother adored her, and she was holding two parties for her birthday; the daytime one was for her friends from her circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evening was for those well-connected with the Presidential Mansion, all influential figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A daytime gathering with friends from the entertainment circle surely wouldn’t attract Lu Hualiang, but what about the evening one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a high-society gathering, and her mother would also be in attendance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang had the utmost respect for her mother. He should come, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Lu Hualiang still didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even cast her a glance, as if she were invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze settled solely on Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of disregard made Yan Weiyang very embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth and decided to take a different approach, turning her attention to Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Xia, would you like to come along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was reluctant, even somewhat disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s really benefiting that wretched thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The influential figures who would be attending her evening party could provide immense benefits to Xia Weibao, no matter which one she got to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Weiyang also had her own schemes. Even if Xia Weibao went, she would make sure she didn’t have a good time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao and Lu Hualiang were in a secret marriage. Even if they attended tonight’s high-society gathering, they couldn’t reveal their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she would only be able to attend as a star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in high society, stars are the least respected, akin to mere performers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the daughter of the Presidential Mansion, she naturally wasn’t comparable to an ordinary star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Weibao was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Yan Weiyang’s inquiry, Xia Weibao seemed surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her eyebrows in a semi-amused gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s that saying? A tree without bark will surely die; a person shameless is invincible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lu Hualiang’s attitude so cold, she still had the gall to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even in front of her, she dared to flirt with her husband, as if she were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao rested her chin in her hand. People with such thick skin probably wouldn’t leave if not driven away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To drive her away herself would seem jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced sidelong at the man beside her and smiled with a hint of provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone was serving themselves up for a challenge, she had to play along, ensuring they’d be too intimidated to ever come knocking at her door again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she hooked her foot around his, subtly rubbing it with an insinuating motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were even more seductively enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang’s eyes sparked with twin flames the instant she touched him, and he pulled her into his embrace. \"You’re playing with fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teeheehee...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s laughter rang like bells, her arms wrapped around his neck, charmingly coquettish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang could barely control himself anymore, and he leaned in to kiss her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Weibao blocked him, \"There’s someone else here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang’s hawk-like gaze shot towards Yan Weiyang, \"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was cold and chilling as if coming from the depths of Hell where the sun never shone, frightening Yan Weiyang into shivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought that by mentioning her mother, and with Lu Hualiang’s respect for her, he would not make things difficult for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he didn’t give her any face at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Yan Weiyang, Lu Hualiang was eager to carry Xia Weibao back to their room. She dared to flirt with him; she was as good as dead today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao caught a glimpse of Yan Weiyang still standing there, and her smile grew even more seductively enchanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, today I want to try out the sofa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his little wife so forward, Lu Hualiang felt his blood boiling, and he picked up the phone to call security to throw her out!\u003C\u002Fp>",698,"2026-06-06T16:22:10.633Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c61ec7319f43b0a6a3da4573e927292117c179710ca9b275bdcebcfc97483a3","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-776","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-774",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
