Licking Dog 2
Chapter 2
While talking to someone, Yu Rubing looked at Jiang Li who was becoming increasingly tired and smiled secretly.
At this moment, an elegant woman approached, winked at Yu Rubing, and whispered in her ear, "Everything's arranged! Wait a minute, and watch that country bumpkin make a fool of himself!"
Yu Rubing looked at the woman in front of her and she felt she looked familiar. After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that the woman was her good friend, and the country bumpkin her friend was talking about was undoubtedly Mu Xiaoyun.
Yu Rubing also recalled what embarrassing thing Mu Xiaoyun would do later.
Before Jiang Li took Mu Xiaoyun to the banquet, he originally wanted to take her to see evening gowns, but he had to go on a business trip for something urgent, so he handed the matter over to another female secretary.
The female secretary followed Jiang Li's instructions and took her to the most upscale evening dress shop in City A, but the high prices scared Mu Xiaoyun away.
After Mu Xiaoyun took the opportunity to send her secretary away, she fully demonstrated her virtue of thriftiness and used the money to rent an evening dress.
As luck would have it, Yu Rubing's best friend was also present at the event, and she saw that Mu Xiaoyun had been cheated by the store and had foolishly rented someone else's custom-made evening gown.
The owner of that evening dress happened to be at the dinner party.
At the suggestion of Yu Rubing's best friend, the host saw that the evening dress he had customized at a high price and had not even worn it was worn by another woman, so he immediately stopped Mu Xiaoyun and asked for an explanation.
In the original plot, after this embarrassing scene, Mu Xiaoyun was not forced to cry. Instead, she gave an impassioned speech saying, "I am poor but I have backbone."
She criticized the rich for their extravagant lifestyle. Although her salary could not afford an evening gown, she did not think that anyone wearing an evening gown was a princess.
Perhaps it was because the protagonist's halo was too strong, and everyone did not notice the substitution of concepts in her words. Instead, they were blushing after hearing what Mu Xiaoyun said.
The original person was furious at the time, but because she had just had a very bad fight with Mu Xiaoyun, and Jiang Li had a very bad impression of her, she did not dare to stand up against the heroine.
However, this time, Yu Rubing was not so magnanimous!
Not long after, at the suggestion of Yu Rubing's best friend, the owner of the evening dress quickly found Mu Xiaoyun!
Mu Xiaoyun was standing in front of the buffet tray, eating the cake on the plate happily.
She is not from this circle and doesn't know that she should be more elegant, so her eating posture is not very good.
At this moment, a woman with sharp eyes and eyebrows blocked Mu Xiaoyun's way, and looked at her rudely with her hands folded.
Mu Xiaoyun has a pure and cute appearance, which does not suit her well in gorgeous evening gowns. On the contrary, this simple light green evening gown makes her look even more charming and lovely.
Even when Jiang Li saw her for the first time, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he praised Mu Xiaoyun generously.
Mu Xiaoyun looked at the unfriendly woman in front of her and asked in a daze, "Is there something wrong?"
The owner of the evening gown was not in a good mood either. He asked bluntly, "Where did you get those clothes?"
Mu Xiaoyun's heart sank, she had a bad feeling.
Although she was not from this circle and seldom attended similar occasions, she still had some understanding of the situation and knew that ladies had to wear evening gowns in more formal occasions.
It is usually best to buy an evening gown. Even if you only wear it once and then put it away, you must buy it and wear it.
If I said it was rented, I would probably be laughed at to death.
Mu Xiaoyun looked at the woman in front of her with a bad expression and became more and more hesitant.
The truth must not be told, and she didn't even know the woman in front of her. Why did she ask this for no reason?
Mu Xiaoyun couldn't understand it at first, but suddenly a face appeared in her mind. It was the face that was distorted with anger when Yu Rubing saw her standing with Jiang Li.
Mu Xiaoyun immediately understood. Maybe the other party was sent by Yu Rubing to cause trouble?
After all, after the fight between the two that day, Yu Rubing threatened not to let her go.
Now it seems that it is true.
Since they were here to cause trouble, Mu Xiaoyun simply didn't have any reservations. After all, the merchant had promised her that the matter of renting the evening dress would be kept absolutely confidential.
Guessing the woman didn't know, he boldly said, "Of course it's mine!"
When the woman heard what Mu Xiaoyun said, her eyes widened and the anger in her heart burst out.
"your?"
The woman's disdainful question quickly attracted the attention of people around her.
She looked around Mu Xiaoyun.
Then he solemnly informed her, "I ordered this evening gown three months ago. I personally consulted on the design. It was supposed to be worn at another banquet three months from now. How come you're wearing it now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Everyone knows that renting an evening gown is just a way of showing off. Fake socialites love to do this. Although it happens from time to time, they don't do it openly.
Once people find out, I don’t know how to explain it.
Where else could it be like this, not only renting an evening gown, but also getting caught red-handed by the owner?
There were a lot of female companions at the party, and it was embarrassing to hear that!
Mu Xiaoyun only felt a "boom" in her head.
Her cheeks flushed, her teeth were biting her lips, her hands were clenched so tightly that her fingertips turned white, and everyone's eyes were on her. She felt like she was being tortured to death on the spot.
I didn't expect that I had misunderstood.
This evening dress was actually custom-made by someone else.
Mu Xiaoyun also recalled that when she rented an evening dress, the boss was very confident in her words, but her eyes were always evasive.
It turns out that she was deceived!
Originally, Mu Xiaoyun always felt that she was half a head shorter than him when she came to such occasions, so she kept quiet. Unexpectedly, she became the focus of everyone's attention in this way.
If it were an ordinary girl, tears would have welled up in her eyes long ago.
However, the character of the heroine in the original text is different. She is a person who becomes more courageous as she faces more setbacks, and the more difficult the situation is, the more she never gives in!
When she was criticized like this, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong. Instead, she felt that everyone was targeting her and deliberately making things difficult for her.
The owner of the evening gown didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, the main responsibility lay with the store owner, and if she acted aggressively, it would seem as if she was being sarcastic and mean.
Thinking that Mu Xiaoyun would just say a few soft words to her, she decided not to argue with her and took the evening dress to settle the account with the owner.
But I never expected it!
Before he could say anything, he saw Mu Xiaoyun's face full of bitterness and resentment, as if he was deliberately picking a fight to make things difficult for her.
The rage inside her grew even stronger, and her words became even harsher: "If you can't afford it, don't wear it. No one will say anything to you. You wore someone else's clothes and didn't even say an apology. I wonder if you have any manners at all?"
The woman just said this.
A cold voice rang out from the crowd: "Who are you saying has no upbringing?"
Jiang Li's handsome face seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were extremely cold, staring at the woman.
Just a moment ago, Jiang Li was busy dealing with it, but in the blink of an eye, Mu Xiaoyun was nowhere to be found. He looked for her worriedly for a long time.
Finally, Mu Xiaoyun was seen being blocked by a woman, with unpleasant words pouring out of her mouth one by one.
Before he could even hear the whole story, a surge of rage shot straight to his head.
Jiang Li walked over and stood beside Mu Xiaoyun, putting his arm around her shoulders. Then, with a look of arrogance on his face, he said to the owner of the evening gown, "There must be a misunderstanding here. Please don't jump to conclusions before we investigate thoroughly!"
"Since the evening gown is yours, I'll apologize for any misunderstandings. I'll repay you tenfold later on how much it cost. I'll also contact a designer to custom-make ten original evening gowns just for you!"
"But?" Jiang Li said with a scornful smile, "I can't give you this evening dress. Although my friend won't wear it again, since it's on my friend, I can't give it away even if I throw it away."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jiang Li wasn't here to apologize, he was clearly here to stand up for Mu Xiaoyun!
Jiang Li's words were like slaps in the face of the man in the evening gown.
The woman was so angry that her face turned blue, and her arms hanging at her sides were trembling, but she didn't dare to show her feelings. She could only say weakly: "I don't plan to wear it again!"
It's no wonder that the host in the evening gown was being so rude. Mu Xiaoyun had never appeared in such occasions before, and she looked petty and didn't seem to have a very deep background, so it was harmless to say a few words to her. Besides, it was Mu Xiaoyun who was at fault in the first place.
But Jiang Li came forward and stood on Mu Xiaoyun's side.
Who is Jiang Li?
Everyone in City A knows that this young and promising business elite, the son of a wealthy family, has the Jiang family behind him.
In City A, except for a few large families like the Yu family, no one can shake the foundation of the Jiang family. If you make the people of the Jiang family dislike you, you will have to avoid such occasions in the future.
Although the owner of the evening gown was not from a small family, he still didn't have the courage to offend a figure like Jiang Li.
Although he felt very aggrieved, he had to swallow his anger. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "I was too anxious just now. There may really be a misunderstanding. It's not a big deal. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, about it."
When her best friend, who was standing on the periphery, heard this, she secretly stamped her feet and muttered in dissatisfaction, "What's going on? It was clearly the assistant who was at fault first, and she didn't even apologize, yet Jiang Li is blindly protecting her?"
As soon as these words came out of her mouth, her bestie immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing!
Even though Jiang Li was defending Mu Xiaoyun, and Yu Rubing hated Mu Xiaoyun to bits, she couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Jiang Li, even if it was in her favor.
The best friend glanced at Yu Rubing guiltily, and was surprised that she didn't see any warning or angry look in Yu Rubing's eyes.
On the contrary, Yu Rubing had a calm expression, as if she was just watching the fun.
The best friend was a little confused, and then after hearing what Yu Rubing said, her jaw almost dropped!
Yu Rubing just said, "It's not surprising for a fool like him to say that!"
Her best friend was in disbelief, as frightened as if she had seen a ghost. She was so nervous that she started coughing while talking. She asked Yu Rubing in disbelief, "Bingbing, do you know what you just said?"
Yu Rubing looked at her best friend calmly, as if asking her, wasn't it normal for me to say that just now?
Then he repeated, "I said Jiang Li is an idiot!"
My best friend felt that she didn’t check the almanac before going out tonight, and she must have seen a ghost!
Originally, if Jiang Li stepped forward, the problem would have been solved!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mu Xiaoyun opened her mouth and uttered her inner cry, which expressed the deep contempt of the lower-class people for their evil class.
Mu Xiaoyun's voice was trembling, full of deep affection and determination, but her eyes were like a machine gun, sweeping across the people around her, and then she let out her cry from the bottom.
"That's right, I didn't have the money to buy a decent evening gown. A year's salary wouldn't be enough for me, so I chose to rent one. But I didn't expect that I would be cheated by the store. They actually rented me an evening gown that shouldn't be rented out."
Having said that, Mu Xiaoyun smiled self-deprecatingly.
"But! I don't think I'm wrong!" Mu Xiaoyun continued her impassioned speech. "I'm not saying I'm wrong, not because I was also deceived, but because it's not shameful to not be able to buy an evening gown, and renting an evening gown is not a shameful thing. It's just a reasonable way of spending money."
"Perhaps your circle can't understand it, but the fact is that many classes in society can't afford to spend lavishly, so when you see people renting out because they can't afford to buy, there's no need to make such a fuss."
"On the contrary, it will only make you look short-sighted."
The few things Mu Xiaoyun said before could be considered as a conflict between her and the owner of the evening gown, and everyone was just watching the fun.
But the last sentence hit everyone present at once.
Although what Mu Xiaoyun said was correct, many people present were laughing at her.
But this is also common. Every circle has its own discrimination chain, so just try to integrate into it.
But you shouldn't bring everyone along.
After hearing what Mu Xiaoyun said, many people showed strange expressions on their faces, and looked at Mu Xiaoyun with even more disdain.
This is not Mu Xiaoyun's fault. The heroine in the original text is like this. She is careless with her words, likes to offend people, and her self-esteem is sometimes inexplicably strong.
In the original text, although the hero and heroine later achieved a happy ending and Jiang Li led the Jiang family to become the top wealthy family in City A, Mu Xiaoyun, as Jiang Li's wife, never really integrated into this circle and rarely participated in social activities.
The original text involves the protagonist's halo, so it is not explained in detail. However, from Yu Rubing's perspective, it is inevitable to find that Mu Xiaoyun's character actually has problems.
In the original plot, Yu Rubing wanted to see Mu Xiaoyun embarrassed. After things got to this point, Yu Rubing wanted to embarrass her, but considering the need to repair her relationship with Jiang Li, she gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to step forward.
But now it’s different!
No one would care about Jiang Li's attitude. Feeling the remaining pain on her body, Yu Rubing felt that it was time to speak up for their circle!
Not long after Mu Xiaoyun finished speaking, Jiang Like felt so distressed that he exerted force in the hand that was around Mu Xiaoyun's shoulders, as if he wanted to embed Mu Xiaoyun into his body.
And at this moment, Yu Rubing stood up.
Compared to Mu Xiaoyun's harsh words, Yu Rubing's beautiful and outstanding appearance, generous and graceful demeanor, even if she didn't say a word, just standing there, she overshadowed Mu Xiaoyun by a lot.
Yu Rubing said calmly, "Miss Mu, you are wrong!"
