Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Scandal? Are you sure that it's me who stirred it and not the other two personalities involved in it?" Suddenly Li Xue asked, giving a low chuckle.  The more she heard those questions, the more she got stunned. Not in surprise but in disdain. Could these people even bring something new? Wasn't having an affair with your friend's boyfriend and betraying her after, a too cliché plot? 

Her unusual question suddenly paused everyone in their thought, making them recheck their thoughts twice. While taking her time, Li Xue's eyes moved to her side to give a meaningful glance towards the old CEO of Galaxy Light. Her lips, slightly twisting at the corner into a smirk. 

With just her one glance, CEO Fu almost felt his confidence staggering. He stirred on his seat a little and was about to say something to explain his side. But just before he could get to find any opportunity to say something, Li Xue turned her head away as if moments before she hasn't said anything that could have offended the man responsible for it. 

Fu Guang coughed lightly to calm himself down, but the damage to his composure was already done, and he no longer felt going back to the same confidence he had before. He could not believe the woman was still the same he has once known in the past. Nothing seemed to change in her personality, even for a bit. Instead, she looked more confident than now. 

But what was this confidence about? He has particularly made sure that today she appears to be weakest. But still, his efforts don't seem to be coming any fruitful. 

"CEO Fu, why does the lady's gaze felt like she was accusing you of something? Did you …" CEO Wu Long asked doubtfully but didn't tend to complete his question. He has not missed the things happening around. But what stupefied him the most was the attitude of the woman. He has never thought of her to be like this; instead has taken her to a very meek and superconscious one. 

Aren't all scandalous models be like that? It was his first time seeing a shady model be this righteous and confident of her stand. He stared at her, trancing a bit off but then was brought back to reality when he heard someone ask from the front.

"What do you mean, Ms. Li Xue? Are you saying that someone is trapping you into this scandal?" Someone amidst the crowd of media personnel asked, raising their doubt. But that question of clarification brought another cold chuckle from the woman, making everyone feel more confused at her attitude. 

"I am really amused to see that the media people of the country have got such a weird interest in twisting the story according to their own plot. Is it that fun?" Li Xue asked, slightly lifting her face up with a smile. "I just asked what's the scandal is about and what role I have played in that, and you people have taken it the other way?" she added with a deadpan. 

Her eyes, looking at everyone for their responses. Earlier it was fun for the people to question, but now it felt like things have overturned. It seemed like the lady was having fun answering every one. 

"Ms. Li Xue, you cannot blame us like this? Are you saying that you are all unknown to the news ongoing about you on the internet?" some other media person asked from behind. 

Li Xue's gaze darted to look at him for some time before asking again, "After so many years, did I got a habit of stuttering?" Her comments suddenly paused everyone in their thoughts, making them exchange shocked glances with everyone. Li Xue was expecting them like this so, she further smiled and added. "I have kept all my social media accounts deactivated till now. So, yes, I have no knowledge of the things going online."

The crowd was again filled with buzzing murmurs. "Ms. Li Xue, on the internet, they are saying that you are having an affair with CEO Zheng Wenting? How are you going to reply to it? Did you really betray your friend behind her back?" 

CEO Fu was pleased when this question was thrown out. This was his plot with which he has thought to secure the war, making the woman weak and then force her to pay the compensation amount. Now seeing the time was already there, he tugged his lips up and adjusted his tie to his collar proudly. But all his smug vanished when he saw to his side. It was something that he has not expected to come. 

Even with that question, the smile on Li Xue's face did not fade away. She didn't look weak like they expected her to be. Instead, she welcomed every question to come one after the other while keeping her eyes of mocking understanding towards everyone. 

Seeing her like that, soon everyone slowly and slowly started holding back their words.  Though it felt like it was them holding back, in the true sense, from the moment Li Xue has appeared on the stage, it has been her controlling everyone's leads. 

Once she got enough silence and peace from the crowd, the woman gave the nod to herself before calmly stirring the crowd up once again with her words, "An affair with CEO Zheng? Isn't that too heavy taste for me to take this early? Furthermore, some men come down to Earth to suit a particular woman. I am happy that Ms. Wen has found her pair."

Though her words have been quite thoughtful and under the code of mannerism, yet the way she has pronounced it had not hidden away the tone of sarcasm she has thrown at everyone especially, Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying. 

CEO Fu Guang instantly shot up from his seat in a fury, glaring at the woman's audaciousness. "Ms. Li Xue, what do you mean? Are you trying to insult CEO Zheng with your words now? You have really turned bold to bite the hands that are feeding you. Our CEO Zheng has been so liberal for you, yet you are here not thinking twice before offending him".

At those words, Li Xue immediately turned to look at the man at her side. She has not missed the intention of the man behind his words. For a moment, her face showed the wrinkles of worry, making the man easily believe in her weakness, but then snatching away his happiness of satisfaction the very another moment, she displayed a cunning smile over her lips. 

"The views are always based on perceptions. And seeing CEO Fu, suddenly getting so riled up, I doubt how he takes CEO Zheng as? Are you doubting Ms. Wen's skill in choosing her right partner? Or are you doubting CEO Zheng's personality as a good boyfriend?"
