Chapter 335 – Heartfelt Speech.
Luo Wuying's proud smile faltered when the waiter said that the bill had been paid already.
This is a five-star hotel and one of the top-most listed hotels in the country. Making a reservation at this hotel was already hard enough, yet he somehow managed to reserve a lounge for their reunion party here.
One dish at this hotel is expensive enough and by clearing the bills, he wanted to prove his greatness among everyone yet someone beat him to it. Who is capable enough to do that? From what I know, everyone is quite self-centered and prefers to get the free treat.
He looked around embarrassingly and turned to the waiter, " Hmm? It has been paid already? Who..who did that?" He asked.
At that time, a poised yet charming voice attracted everyone's attention, " I did."
Everyone turned around and looked at the girl, clad in a black dress who was standing at the back of the room.
Luo Wuying frowned, " Luo Dan? What kind of joke is this? Why…You paid the bills? When?"
Luo Dan couldn't help but scoff at his uncertain voice. He used to be a heartthrob of every girl back then but now when she looks at him, he is nothing but just an attention seeker.
Everything he does is only to get others' attention. Posting her love letter on the notice board and announcing to pay the bills before doing so can also be counted for the same.
Well, it's time to steal his spotlight now.
Luo Dan looked at everyone's surprised expressions while showing her radiant smile and made her way to Luo Wuying with her elegant yet subtle steps in her matching black sparkling high heels.
Everyone in the room, especially the girls were a little taken aback when Luo Dan made her way to the front while showing her elegance for what she is known for in the entertainment industry.
They hate to accept it but they were jealous of her for what she had achieved after going through an embarrassing past. However, after seeing her being quiet at the party, they realized that she might have changed in terms of looks, but in terms of personality, she is the same coward, nerdy Luo Dan.
However, at the moment she was shining the most in this dimly lighted room.
Luo Dan stood next to Luo Wuying and turned to everyone. She smiled at them and flipped her hair back before speaking, " Allow me to say a few words from this place. First of all, thank you so much for inviting me to this reunion."
" I might attend countless award shows or extravagant parties but it was amazing to meet all of my high school 'friends'." She emphasized the last word and continued, " It freshened up the 'memories' that I had forgotten long ago. Those memories might not be the best part of my life, but they did make me what I am today. So thank you so much for that. Seriously." She bowed in front of them politely, leaving them speechless.
Everyone's expressions turned hard upon listening to her heartfelt yet sarcastic thanks. She was boasting about how popular and successful she is yet her polite words made it difficult for them to say anything.
Even though 'The Queens' have been disbanded, the popularity of Jia Fei and Luo Dan is nowhere to be affected. They are still popular as ever and entertainment companies are dying to have them signed with them.
It was only Hao Mei whose popularity has hit rock bottom. They're still in demand and the albums will be sold out if they decide to make a comeback.
After thanking everyone, Luo Dan then turned to Luo Wuying who couldn't hide his expressions and was clutching his fists tightly in annoyance.
She smiled at him and said, " Luo Wuying, Thank you so much to you too. If you hadn't posted my letter on the notice board that day, I wouldn't have realized how big of a jerk you are and might have continued to like you as a lovelorn teenage girl."
" Because of you, I started working on myself and started to focus on my music rather than unnecessary distractions. In the process, I met some amazing people who made me realize that I am too amazing to be with a jerk like you. They made me realize that If I don't realize my real worth and be proud of it, others will never treat me better."
" Thank you so much for being an eye-opener for me. That's why to thank you all I had already settled the bills in advance when I went to the washroom earlier."
" Luo Wuying, one more thing, If you want to book a five-star hotel like this for a gathering next time, you can directly contact me. Such hotels are hard to reserve, you see," she said with a meaningful smile, making everyone wonder about the meaning behind her words.
Luo Wuying frowned, " What do you mean? I was the one who booked this hotel, why would I contact you? Also, do you think you're doing something great? You're just an idol who dances in front of men in half-naked clothes and earns a living from that. Who do you think you're? Huh?"
" No one in this room is capable enough to afford this kind of five-star hotel. Yet rather than being grateful, you're being cocky. Huh?" He blurted out in the heat of the moment, forgetting the presence of other people in the room.
The whispers could be heard upon hearing his unrefined words, which shocked everyone. In comparison to Luo Dan who was speaking in an eloquent, well-mannered behavior, his words sounded more of a thug or gangster.
" How can he say that? Did we tell him to book this hotel?"
" Wasn't he the one who came up with this party idea?"
" What does he think of himself? How rude!"
" Luo Dan is right. He is a jerk. Cheap-minded jerk."
" How can he say that to her? Even in the past, he was in the wrong. Rather than apologizing to her, he is being rude to her. Shameless."
Luo Dan smiled upon hearing everyone's whisper and it only made Luo Wuying even angrier. She smiled at him and said, " Well, I hate to break it to you, but when you called the hotel to reserve the lounge for the party, the reception was planning to reject you."
" However, thankfully, I was at the hotel as well the other day and heard the conversation. Since I used to be the face of this hotel before, in my name, they reserved the lounge. Otherwise, why do you think that a five-star hotel will lend you to use their lounge that too without taking any advance payment?"
" It's because they did it for me and allowed you to use it for free. They're not charging for the lounge and only for the food and drinks that you had today," she explained to him calmly.
" So it was because of Luo Dan that we could use this lounge? Luo Dan, you're the best!"
" I was also thinking something was not right. It was the manager of the hotel who escorted Luo Dan to the room earlier. It's because she was the one who booked this room."
Luo Wuying's expressions darkened seeing everyone appreciating Luo Dan and ignoring him. It was him who planned all this and yet this bitch took all the credit.
He gritted his teeth and said, " Luo Dan, don't think that you're something great. You're just a cheap idol who has lost her glory. So stop boasting about her past achievements."
" Well, even if they're in the past, they're still my achievements. And I can bring them up anytime, anywhere. Kindly keep your unnecessary opinion to yourself." She said while looking straight into his eyes.
In the end, he left the hotel after facing utter humiliation. He wasn't expecting that Luo Dan would ever talk to him like this in front of everyone. How embarrassing!!
While he was leaving the hotel after being humiliated miserably, a man was sitting in his black car and was watching him run away from the situation by getting in his car and driving away.
Han Liang's lips curled up to see the man leave and leaned back on his seat comfortably when his manager turned to him, " Han Liang, what are we waiting here for? Shouldn't we leave already?"
He shook his head, " Not yet. I am waiting for someone."
" Who? Is someone coming?"The manager asked.
" Just wait for a little more."
