Chapter 7. Two men, neither of them helped

Wen Li didn't expect that her employer today actually knew Lin Ruoyuan. As soon as she showed up at the birthday party, she was blocked by Lin Ruoyuan.

The noble rich lady was wearing the latest haute couture dress. She crossed her arms with one hand, squinted her eyes, and lazily placed the champagne in her hand on Wen Li's camera.

"You, go change me a cup." The eldest lady acted bossy and had a strong sense of superiority.

Wen Li dodged to the side. Her camera cost hundreds of thousands, so she was reluctant to let Lin Ruoyuan touch it.

"I'm not a waiter." She turned to leave.

But Lin Ruoyuan refused to let her go. She stretched out her arm to block her way, with deliberate ridicule in her tone.

"Isn't that a staff badge hanging around your neck? What's wrong with asking you to bring me a glass of wine? You showed up here today, aren't you here to serve us rich people?"

The sound was so loud that many people immediately looked towards Wen Li.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying tried to smooth things over for Wen Li, "I'll do it. I also have a staff badge. I'll get you some wine."

"No, I want her to get it."

Lin Ruoyuan pointed with her newly-made nails almost poking Wen Li's forehead, "Wen Li, in the past, everyone was looking at Brother Jinnian's face, so you shamelessly came to our party and no one said anything. Now that you and Brother Jinnian have broken up, you are only fit to serve us tea and water and listen to our orders."

Wen Li casually tucked the strands of hair behind her ears and asked her gently, "Are you sure you want me to take it?"

"Yes, it's you."

After hearing this, Wen Li actually went and got a glass of champagne.

Lin Ruoyuan was very proud and reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, Wen Li turned her wrist and the entire glass of champagne spilled onto the haute couture dress, soaking a large area of it.

"I'm sorry, I'm not very experienced in serving wine." She grinned with a very sincere smile.

Lin Ruoyuan's face wrinkled immediately. Especially when she saw the smile on Wen Li's face, she became even more angry and raised her hand to hit him. But she caught a glimpse of Meng Jinnian who came over after hearing the news, and in the blink of an eye, the anger on her face was replaced by pity.

"Wen Li, I know you don't like me. But today is my friend's birthday after all. Even if you don't like me, you shouldn't make things difficult for me in public and make me look bad in front of everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jinnian squeezed out of the crowd.

"Wen Li, what are you doing?"

Wen Li was caught off guard when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She felt bad for her camera and was afraid it might break, so she didn't dare to struggle. She staggered for several steps before she managed to stand still.

When I looked up, I saw Huo Yuanchen also standing in the crowd, but he was not attracted by the excitement here and was talking politely with others.

From a distance, he still looked like an elite. There were many gorgeously dressed women around him, their carefully made-up faces eager to try, and a few bold ones had already come forward with their phones to ask for his contact information.

He is indeed a scumbag. He never lacks women wherever he goes.

She thought with a complicated expression.

Huo Yuanchen tilted his head and saw Wen Li, who had a resentful expression on his face. His arm was tightly held by Meng Jinnian, his hair was disheveled, and his facial features were wrinkled in pain.

It looks a bit miserable.

But her appearance did not stir up any waves in Huo Yuanchen's heart. He just glanced at her and looked away indifferently, letting the woman beside him add him as a friend.

The market for scumbag men is really good, Wen Li thought.

When Meng Jinnian saw the wet spot on Lin Ruoyuan's skirt, he felt so distressed that he became even more rude to Wen Li, "Wen Li, is it necessary to involve Xiaoyuan in our matter? She is just a little girl who knows nothing."

Wen Li was brought back to his senses by his yelling. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what Meng Jinnian had said.

She found it funny that Meng Jinnian could fall for Lin Ruoyuan's lowly green tea tricks. Was she engaged to a pig before?

She was too lazy to explain and just handed the camera to Meng Jinnian.

"Look, I just slipped and took a lot of photos of your innocent childhood sweetheart. Take a look at which one you like and I'll send it to you."

As he spoke, he flipped to the photo of Lin Ruoyuan pretending to hit someone.

Meng Jinnian was speechless and stared at the camera screen in disbelief.

Wen Li didn't give him a chance to look any longer. She shook off his hand, took the camera back, and said slowly, "It's a pity that your childhood sweetheart doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry. I remember your family has an entertainment industry, why don't you pay some money to make her famous."

After saying that, he turned around and left, not giving Meng Jinnian any chance to catch up with him.

Just because of this incident, the subsequent photo-taking work was not so smooth. No matter where she went, there were always one or two idle rich second-generation young ladies who ran up to her and made sarcastic remarks.

"Meng Jinnian and Ruoyuan have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, and he is just playing with you. How dare you, a woman who has been played by Meng Jinnian, come out and make things difficult for Ruoyuan?"

"Isn't it just for money? Who are you pretending to be so noble for? Instead of bullying Ruoyuan, you might as well think about how to ask Meng Jinnian for more money."

...

Wen Li did not tolerate them at all. She recorded all the young ladies who came to cause trouble for her and sent the videos to Meng Jinnian.

"Take care of your little Qingmei. She's as noisy as a flock of crows."

Zhou Ying followed her all the way to help carry the equipment. Seeing these scenes, she couldn't help but smack her lips and said, "Is the life of rich people so boring?"

Wen Li disagreed, "These people have been abandoned by their families. They have no real power in the company. They receive a fixed amount of pocket money every month, and they are just waiting to get married in a business relationship when they reach the age. That's why they have so much free time."

Zhou Ying stuck out her tongue, still feeling a lingering fear, "Luckily you have experience in dealing with them. If it were me, I would definitely be bullied and cry by them."

The birthday party was almost over, and Wen Li's filming work was almost done. He just had to wait to take the final photos of the fireworks before he could go home.

The two of them simply found a corner with few people, took some snacks and ate while chatting.

Zhou Ying took a few bites and said with emotion, "This high-end snack is really delicious, but it's too difficult to mix in the circle of rich people. I don't know how many people looked down on you when you were with Meng Jinnian."

Wen Li said indifferently, "In fact, I have not met Meng Jinnian many times in occasions like today. As for those who roll their eyes behind my back, as long as they are not afraid to roll their eyes out, they can do whatever they want. I can't see them anyway."

Meng's parents' attitude towards her was very subtle. They couldn't be said to be disgusted, but they were not very satisfied either. When she and Meng Jinnian got engaged, they just had a meal together with their parents, and there was no big celebration. In addition, her studio had just been established not long ago, and she was busy with a lot of work, so she really didn't go to their gatherings with Meng Jinnian a few times.

Of course, now that I think about it, maybe Meng Jinnian didn’t want to take her with him, otherwise how could it be convenient for him to flirt with Lin Ruoyuan, treating her like a brother and a sister?

Zhou Ying thought about it and said uncertainly, "Actually, Meng Jinnian's personality is too mild, which doesn't match you very well. He was indeed very sincere when he pursued you, but a man with his personality is easily tempted by other women. But you have broken up now, and what he is like has nothing to do with you anymore."

Wen Li did not completely agree with Zhou Ying's words.

Meng Jinnian is indecisive, while Huo Yuanchen is the exact opposite. But that doesn't stop him from chatting and laughing with the girls around him.

It can be seen that being unfaithful is a common problem among men and has nothing to do with personality.

Moreover, Huo Yuanchen was a scumbag. The novelty came quickly and went away quickly, and he dumped her even faster. It was a waste of the effort she put into him. What was the point?

She was thinking about her father's medicine and was a little absent-minded. She blurted out what was in her heart without realizing it.

"Huo Yuanchen is really fast, useless man."

Zhou Ying bit her tongue, not caring to cry out in pain, and opened her mouth wide in shock, "No way? Professor Huo looks tall and strong, so he should be able to last long, but he is... useless?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't like occasions like this tonight, but he was in this circle and had to do some necessary social activities. He was a little tired after attending a circle of social events, so he took the wine and deliberately found a place with few people to enjoy the cool breeze.

Wen Li's clear comments could be heard through the bushes.

"Huo Yuanchen is too fast."

Huo Yuanchen's face darkened.
