Chapter 59 Crisis at the Gala

One of them, a haughty-looking woman, sized up A Miao with a quick glance and then sneered. "Lulu, how can she compare to you? Is there something wrong with President Shen's taste?" A Miao rolled her eyes. She turned toward Bai Lu and saw the latter holding onto her hand, anxious to explain herself. "Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm not close to President Shen at all.
