Momo Soo seemed to have realized this as well, and she tried to pass the topic over to Yuri Zhang andFade Chen. But Chessca Tan was obviously not interested in the two, so it didn’t take more than 5minutes before she was talking to Momo Soo once again Moreover, she is repeatedly mentioned theSoo Family’s business, promising that she’ll go visit the them in South Bay City whenever she had thechance, and how their two families should collaborate with each other. What was meant to be aleisurely activity had turned into a business conference. Momo Soo really didn’t want to talk about it, soshe answered everything hastily, hoping to just let it pass. Little did she know, Chessca Tan’s face hadturned into a darker shade of grey. They were out for the entire day, and Chesca Tan had originallyplanned to bring them home to rest overnight while they’d continue with the trip the next day. But justas they were about to arrive home, Momo Soo received a phone call and said apologetically to ChescaTan, "Senior, I’m sorry. My friend posted on social media, saying that a friend of mine from South BayCity came to Hanover City. They have invited me to dinner, so I won’t be staying at your place today.""A friend from South Bay City!" Chesca Tan exclaimed as she asked, "Are they business partners of theSoo Family ?" Momo Soo shook her head and said, "Just a high school classmate of mine, she cameto Hanover City for a trip." Chesca Tan hummed in reply, then said, "Wait! How about I fetch youthere?" "That won’t be necessary. My friend is staying nearby at a place called the Rujia Hotel, which isjust within walking distance." Momo Soo answered, smiling. Chessca Tan’s haughty expression frozewhen she heard the name Rujia Hotel, instantly acknowledging that her friend was not someone of highsocial class. She was immediately thrown off and said, "In that case, I’ll drop you guys off here. Momo,please give me a call if you would like to make plans for tomorrow." "Okay, thank you very much,Senior" Momo Soo replied. Chesca Tan opened the car door for the three of them to get down. Theyparted ways after waving their goodbyes as Chesca Tan drove away. Both Momo Soo and Yuri Zhangfelt at ease as they watched Chesca Tan leave. They let out a sigh of relief, a smile finally reappearingon their faces. Fade Chen smirked as he looked at the girls and said to Momo Soo," Momo, since whenhave you learned how to lie ? Let me guess, you don’t really have a friend at the Rujia Hotel, do you?"
Momo Soo threw a glare in Fade Chen’s direction, waving her small, clenched fist at him and said,"You’re such a know it-all, brother-in-law, and yet you pretend like you don’t know anything." Right afterthat, Momo Soo’s expression darkened as she said in a low tone, "Senior Tan had invited me hereseveral times before, and I thought that she’d be enthusiastic and welcoming to see us here. I neverexpected for her to have only been interested in my family’s business. Starting from yesterday, shecouldn’t stop mentioning about having both our families engage in business collaboration." Yuri Zhangfell silent a moment before she spoke up, her voice as light as a feather, "Momo, don’t feel toodisappointed. Senior was quite welcoming, she’s already brought us to so many places." Kindnesscame naturally for Yuri Zhang as she always searched for the best in people. Momo Soo curled her lipsand said, "I wasn’t criticizing her. It’s just just." She ran out of words to describe what she was feeling.Fade Chen had noticed this, as he smiled faintly and said, "It’s just that you wanted a pure friendship,but you didn’t know that the other party is merely taking advantage of you." Momo Soo nodded whenhe heard his explanation and said, "Yes, that’s precisely what I meant." Fade Chen said, "Momo, Iunderstand where you’re coming from, but there’s no such thing as a pure friendship. The entiresocieties made up of people taking advantage of each other. Your senior may be a little flawed with herways, but it’s perfectly normal. Because, this is... society." "Society!" The two innocent girls wereprocessing what Fade Chen had said with their heads lowered, digesting their first lesson of enteringsociety. After a while, Momo Soo lifted her chin and flashed a smile at Fade Chen, "Brother-in-law, Iunderstand now. I’ll be more considerate in the future." Yuri Zhang nodded solemnly as well. Seeingthat the two women have figured it out, Fade Chen changed the topic with a hearty laugh and said, "It’sgetting late. Also, it’s been a whole day. I’m famished." "Me too!" Yuri Zhang nodded with a smile.Momo Soo pointed generously at a five-star hotel not far away and said, "Let’s go have ourselves alavish meal."
