The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

As time went by, more and more guests came to the dinner. Not only the table of Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi, but the other 19 tables were basically full as well.

At the dinner, 70% of the guests chose to take off the exquisite masks that covered their faces, but some people, like Xu Yiyu, still chose to wear their previous masks even when dining.

Since all the guests at Xu Yiyu's table had taken off their masks, Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi, who were still wearing masks, stood out.

Apart from Feng Can, who had been greeted before, the guests at Xu Yiyu's table were basically all new celebrities from the capital's business community or stars from the entertainment industry, including the actor who had been disrespectful to Mr. Meng before and the internet-famous sculptor.

Xu Yiyu had no grudge against these two people, nor did he want to pick a fight, so when the meal just started, the people at the table automatically formed several small groups to chat, and everything went on peacefully.

The internet celebrity sculptor San Guang soon noticed Feng Can, who was sitting opposite him and eating leisurely. Although he was not convinced by this senior in his heart, he managed to be polite on the surface.

Actor Tian Xu, who has established himself as a humble and dedicated actor, gives people a decent impression due to his acting skills and the personality he has established in the circle. He does not put on airs and always patiently answers questions asked by every guest at the table. Therefore, on the surface, everyone's attention is basically focused on Tian Xu.

Feng Can, who has experienced many ups and downs, is occasionally approached by others. He will occasionally answer a few words, but his answers are usually brief and casual, and there is no sign of his willingness to take the initiative to talk to others.

Xu Yiyu and the other person's styles were similar to Feng Can's. From time to time, someone would pass a message to them, and as long as the other party had no ill intentions, Xu Yiyu would answer in a good temper. However, because her main purpose was to eat, she did not deliberately pay attention to the atmosphere at the table.

From time to time, Tian Xu would glance at this couple who had an eye-catching appearance but a very low-key style of behavior. After observing them for a while, he gradually became interested in them and wanted to know who these two people were.

There was no way. Among the guests sitting at this table, only these two people did not introduce themselves. Their attitudes were neither enthusiastic nor cold, as if their purpose was really just to have a meal.

Tian Xu suppressed his curiosity for more than half an hour. Chen Yan and Zheng Zaien, who were not far away, would occasionally turn their gazes in the direction of Xu Yiyu. The two people who seemed to have not joined the group chat actually became the focus of their attention.

After finishing the full plates in front of him, Lu Sanshi looked at his baby for advice. When he saw her nodding at him with a smile, he immediately picked up the two empty plates and walked towards the table where a new batch of dishes had been served.

Tian Xu, who had been wanting to cause trouble for a long time, saw Lu Sanshi get up and leave. A calculating light flashed across his eyes, and he asked Xu Yiyu, who was alone, a seemingly peaceful and ordinary question.

"I didn't have time to ask just now, what do Miss Xu and Mr. Lu do?"

The business smile on Tian Xu's face was almost impeccable.

"From Mr. Lu's accent, he doesn't sound like someone from the imperial capital. Are you two here specifically for the auction?"

When Xu Yiyu saw Tian Xu's hypocritical smile that made her want to laugh, she glanced at him indifferently and did not expose the actor's intention to cause trouble.

"We haven't been back to the capital for a few years. After all, Anhui Province has developed well in recent years." Xu Yiyu calmly sang a duet with Tian Xu. "I just did a small business there, which is not as good as you all here."

Xu Yiyu's words were obviously self-deprecating, and everyone present heard it, and they all showed just the right amount of realization on their faces.

——Except one person.

"We all know that the guests attending the auction this time are all leaders in their respective fields. Even if Miss Xu is being modest, there is no need to be so modest, right?"

San Guang's sarcastic words made Feng Can, who was sitting opposite him, raise his eyes, and also successfully made Xu Yiyu's smile fade a little.

Why is it that no matter where they are, there are always people who want to use the "kill with praise" combo to deal with her? Don't they know that this combo is useless against her?

"Mr. Sanguang is a well-known sculptor on the Internet, so he naturally thinks I am being modest."

Xu Yiyu replied calmly.

"After all, your four masterpieces are top-tier works that have attracted a lot of discussion among netizens. I am a small businessman, so I can't compare to them."

As soon as Xu Yiyu said this, San Guang, who had a smug look on his face just now, suddenly became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Feng Can also looked at this "colleague" with a playful look in his eyes.

Basically everyone who knows San Guang knows that although his initial work "Four Seasons" posted on the Douyin platform amazed many netizens, after a short period of popularity, he was caught up in a storm of plagiarism and reference. San Guang eventually lost the lawsuit and was severely damaged by the incident. It took him about a year to fully recover.

The other guests at the table looked at Xu Yiyu with a somewhat subtle look, and they roughly understood that this seemingly bright and gentle Miss Xu was definitely not as kind and gullible as she appeared.

San Guang and Xu Yi Yu were defeated in their first confrontation, but Tian Xu acted like a good guy and tried to smooth things over, which was unnecessary.

"Mr. Sanguang has many excellent works, not just Four Seasons. I believe that Miss Xu is the same in her field. Who hasn't made mistakes and fallen?"

Tian Xu's words, which seemed to be an attempt to smooth things over, aroused Xu Yiyu's deep contempt. He almost wanted to overturn the table and leave, not wanting to continue acting with this man.

On the surface, he seemed impartial and flawless, but in fact, he was hinting and warning Xu Yiyu not to be too aggressive, or he might be tripped up by his competitors in the future.

Apart from Fei Ye, Xu Yiyu really felt that getting along with anyone in the entertainment industry made her feel tired. Everyone wore a frighteningly thick mask of personality, and only one point of what they said was true, and the other nine points were all fake.

I don’t know if Fei Ye and the others came to participate in this auction. Xu Yiyu didn’t see her when he was in the auction hall just now.

"It's inevitable to make mistakes. After all, it's the first time for everyone to walk this road, and no one knows where the traps and potholes are."

Xu Yiyu pretended to agree with Tian Xu's words, but then changed the subject and switched his attack method.

"But as long as we keep being truthful and honest, we will not be afraid of our own downfalls."

Xu Yiyu looked at Tian Xu, whose smile was a little stiff. His words clearly hinted at something, but his smile on his face was bright and harmless.

"Don't you think so, Mr. Tian?"
