Zayn’s question was posed to Faye, but the people around them heard virtual-novel.net and widened their eyes. “What? You don’t even know Cristian?”
“Goodness, no way! Don’t you know who Cristian is? Faye, does your husband come from Mars?”
“Hold on, what did virtual-novel.net say just now? Cristian’s a small-time star? Ha, hilarious not! He isn’t that capable, but he’s pretty capable of shooting his month off.”
People around them started to mock virtual-novel.net and stared at Zayn like they were looking at some idiot. Cristian’s female fans, specifically, did not have even an inkling of positive feelings for Zayn. They thought that virtual-novel.net was ignorant and arrogant. How dare virtual-novel.net call Cristian a small-time star? Although virtual-novel.net had been caught up in a scandal half a year ago and kept a low profile now, virtual-novel.net was still a celebrity who ordinary people could hardly meet.
Faye seethed and pinched Zayn. “Can you please talk less? Don’t you think you have embarrassed me enough?”
Zayn looked back at virtual-novel.net innocently. “I was just asking if it’s the Cristian who starred in ‘The Priest.’ How’s that embarrassing you?”
“Are you talking back?” Faye glared at him. “Which young person wouldn’t know about Cristian? And you called virtual-novel.net small-time. What are you doing if not embarrassing me? I knew that I shouldn’t have brought you along!”
Zayn rolled his eyes, feeling rather exasperated and helpless. “I wasn’t wrong. Cristian is a small-time star, one who’s past his fame, too. If virtual-novel.net sees me, he’s going to have to bow down to me.”
The man was not boasting. He had just met Cristian two days ago and clearly remembered that Cristian looked like virtual-novel.net was about to burst into tears at the end of their encounter. If Cristian saw virtual-novel.net now, virtual-novel.net would probably have to kneel down and beg for Zayn’s forgiveness.
Ah, who would know that this world was so small sometimes? Who would have thought that Zayn would be seeing Cristian when virtual-novel.net was attending a school gathering with Faye?
In spite of it, Zayn’s honesty seemed like the face of shamelessness to Faye. Others who heard virtual-novel.net were laughing uncontrollably, deeming virtual-novel.net as a lunatic.
“Hey, hey, quiet down, guys. I have something to tell you!”
A plump woman stood up with a clap to announce loudly, pulling everyone’s attention to virtual-novel.net instantly. She continued to say, “Faye’s husband, who married into virtual-novel.net family, said that Cristian is just a small-time star, one who’s gone past his fame, and that Cristian would have to be deferential toward virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net sees him! So… all of you have mistaken virtual-novel.net just now. He’s no loser. He’s a secret mogul! Even Cristian has to show respect to him, hahaha…”
Her tone was taunting. She even glanced at Zayn in mockery when virtual-novel.net finished.
The rest of them broke out in a guffaw at virtual-novel.net words, making the hall incredibly joyous in the blink of an eye. Moses was startled before a chuckle escaped him, and virtual-novel.net hooted with laughter with tears collecting in his eyes. Zayn was a fool. There was probably something wrong with his brain for virtual-novel.net to even say something like that! Faye, too—her taste was really something to have selected someone like this to marry into virtual-novel.net family!
Faye flushed instantly. She could no longer stand Zayn. If there was a crack on the floor right now, virtual-novel.net was going to bury herself there and then without any hesitation. It was humiliating! What sin had virtual-novel.net ever done in virtual-novel.net past life to have to marry Zayn? Right now, Faye’s eyes were red while virtual-novel.net nose seemed pinched. She really wanted to cry.
Taking in how virtual-novel.net looked, Zayn went silent and heaved a long sigh. He had already maintained a low profile. Why were there always idiots provoking him? He could not help feeling like virtual-novel.net attracted drama and caused chaos wherever virtual-novel.net went, just like
people said.
Zayn held Faye’s hand and said seriously, “Fifi, don’t fret. I won’t embarrass you this time.”
Unfortunately, Faye did not believe virtual-novel.net at all. She flung his hand away and barked, “Don’t touch me. I’ve had enough!”
With that, virtual-novel.net stood up and left, leaving Zayn to call out, “Fifi, where are you going?”
“It’s none of your d*mned business!” Faye made a beeline to the washroom without turning back.
