Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 14: Drama Queen

The five ladies stood together talking about clothes, bracelets and some important business deals their husbands had made recently...

The five women were all wives of rich families. Three of them had brought young girls with them, and Alina was one of them.

When Wendy tried to bring her over, she was reluctant. But in public, she couldn't refuse, so she had to come over.

As soon as they got together, they started to gossip just like your relatives at the New Year's Eve.

Perhaps, they were more polite and hypocritical than your relatives.

With a tray in their hands, the Song family came over to them with a smile on their faces.

"Mr. Song, your son is much more handsome than you when you were young!" Mrs. Tang was the first one to speak. Her husband had the highest status in the upper class. She had known Mr. Song since she was young. Her parents were old friends to Mr. Song's, so they were familiar with each other and always made fun of each other in a very casual way.

Mr. Song laughed and said proudly, "my son, of course, must be better than me. Otherwise, I would have no heir!"

"Long time no see, Aunt Tang. You look young as always,"  Joseph greeted Mrs. Tang.

"How sweet you are, Joseph. I'm sure many girls will be fascinated by you!" Wendy greeted them with a smile, which caused the Song's attention. 

"Who is this?" Mrs. Song asked Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang frowned. She didn't like what Wendy was doing now. However, she still introduced her with a smile, "this is Mrs. Xu, the wife of Eric Xu, the general manager of the Xu group."

"Oh, nice to meet you Mrs. Xu. Welcome." Although Mrs. Song said welcome to Wendy, her facial expression said another thing.

Perhaps Wendy didn't notice, or perhaps she was too eager to make friends with Mrs. Song, she smiled and introduced Alina to her. "This is my daughter, Alaina. She is a freshman in Ming Hua High School. She heard that today is Joseph's birthday, so she made some cookies on her own as a gift for him."  

'Why did she bring this up? Don't mention the cookies, please?'

Alina lowered her head and hid herself behind Wendy, trying not to be noticed by others.

Seeing Alina was so shy and timid, Mrs. Song looked down upon her. She felt that the girl was not confident and elegant, and was not good enough for her son.   

So she said casually, "Oh, you are my son's classmate. Joseph, do you know each other?"

Staring at Alina, Joseph sneered and replied, "of course I knew her. Her classroom is opposite mine in the corridor."

Hearing his words, Wendy was happier. She pushed Alina to take the opportunity to demonstrate herself. "Wow, I didn't expect that your classrooms were so close. What a coincidence! Don't you think so?"

Seeing Wendy was in such a hurry to flatter the Song's, other ladies despised her in their hearts and felt ashamed of her behavior.

Therefore, none of them talk to her. The atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassing for a moment.

Alina raised her head, smiled at Joseph stiffly and politely, "hi, Joseph."

"Alaina, thank you for your birthday present." Joseph stared at Alina and emphasized the words "thank you".

"It's my pleasure."

Sensing that her son was looking weirdly at the girl, Mrs. Song interrupted quickly, "Joseph, this is Mrs. Feng and her daughter."
