Last night my friend invited me to a dinner gathering with 10 other people. This friend likes to mix his different friend groups together, so many of us do not know each other.

We introduced ourselves; a lady said she was divorced and had 3 children, all of whom were university graduates. She was rich and looking for a partner to ‘clean her toilet daily’.

I was at a table of 4 with my friend, my bf and another guy, and she was at the table next to us. She seemed to be interested in the guy at my table, as she tried a few times to join the conversation whenever he talked, and she kept complaining she was cold.

Our tables are in the open-air area; my friend suggested she stay inside for a while. After we finished the meal, we could change the place to grab a drink. She refused and just continued to complain that she was cold.

Later, she turned to the guy and told him to lend her his jacket. He said no, because he was comfortable now and did not want to take it off.

She was angry and said he wasn’t a gentleman; he did not know how to take care of ladies.

The man replied, ‘Why can’t you take care of yourself? You should be good at looking after people; after all, you raised 3 university-graduate kids successfully, didn’t you?’

The lady was angry and immediately left; my friend (who invited us to the dinner) said she had told all their common friends that she had been abused…

Off topic: To those who are interested, the friend who invited me to this dinner gathering also knows the ‘Dumpling girl’. He said she had told other friends that I no longer cherish our friendship after I met my boyfriend. He said, ‘Good job! ‘She’s trouble anyway!’ So I just lol and move on.
