Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The crowd was overly excited to get clearer pictures of the things. Though they have seen the situation to be upturning in the favor of the woman, they still could not make out what made it turn this way. 

They could see the mysterious smile playing over Li Xue's lips but could no longer hold themselves back at the suspense. 

"Did you always have these plans and that was the reason you were so confident in taking forward the procedure of compensation claim? Ms. Li Xue, please reveal the things with the better picture, so that we could understand." Someone from the middle of the crowd asked again, looking at the woman. 

Li Xue also matched that gaze as her lips lifted more before saying. "Okay! I know all of you have got questions and are excited to know the story behind it. Fine, I will then let everyone know how and why everything turned this way". 

She said, slowly and slowly tilting her head to the side to look at the paled expression of the man. Looking at him like that, her eyes showed no sympathy, instead, she looked more satisfied. People could call her as sadist as they could, but she would never deny that seeing her nemesis at their worst has always satisfied her to the core. 

"Of course, I have always had a very good memory of the paperwork I signed. So, definitely, what happened here today has always been in my plans. I disagreed with the decision of taking back the compensation claim because I know instead of bringing me any profit, it will only drag me towards losses. After all, in the country Chiboa, the monetary digits of five million was still something people dream of. I just can't bear to kick them aside."

Li Xue said slowly, taking her time in piercing each and every word into the ears and understanding of Fu Guang. She wanted to let him understand how he got trapped in his own set trap. 

"Five million. It's a big sum of money. Can you detail us, what this money is all about?" Another reporter asked from the side. 

Li Xue's gaze did not waver at Fu Guang for some time but then after a moment, she nodded, "Sure! Why not? Why would I have a problem in letting people know that what I am earning is not some black money or tip I am receiving from my Sugar Daddy, rather it is something that I legally as well as humanly deserve to receive". She said, taking a pause and giving a sarcastic smile to everyone. 

"Five years back when I entered the career of modeling, I had signed several papers on the words of the former CEO of Oriental Spark, Mr. Jiang. Among those papers, somewhere prepared to keep my well-being in concern" She explained, and soon the air filled the whispers of suspicions. Li Xue almost laughed out loud, seeing the people again getting to assume the things. 

But could she even blame? Nope, she has long learned that the world has been like this. She no longer needs a new lesson. Shaking her head at the people's mindset, she continued with a small laugh, "Haha … no, no, put the reins on your thoughts. I wasn't getting any special treatment there. That paperwork was something common between all models of the company. Am I not right, CEO Wu?"

She said, suddenly calling out the man's name, who was already in the daze and was no longer in a situation to get the understanding of things in one instance. 

Wu Long stared at the woman, no longer understanding or hearing the question asked to him. "Huh?" 

Li Xue smiled before repeating, "Are the models still signing the papers that ensure the company's responsibility for them?"

The man nodded before explaining in his bewilderment. "Yes, under Oriental Spark and nowadays in many other companies, the models get this privilege. They would receive compensation if the company failed to protect their career against unforeseen situations at the right time, even after them being innocent at the things." He said. 

Innocent at the situation? What does that mean? Li Xue was innocent in the scandal?

The crowd again uproared with questions as everyone's attention came back to look at the woman.

"Ms. Li Xue, if you are asking for compensation, does that mean that years ago, back in the scandal, you were innocent?"

Li Xue didn't reply verbally to that question, rather nodded, confirming the things. 

The people were more puzzled at her nod. They have many questions but for some reason they were holding back their words.

Looking at them that way, Li Xue was really amused. Those were the same people who didn't hesitate in asking her questions, lashing her out with their comments and words, five years ago. But now they are pretending as if they never had a tongue to use on words. 

Controlling the hardest chuckle within, she asked in utmost nonchalance, "Whoa! That's quite unexpected. Silence was the last thing I was expecting today. I thought everything would be the same as that day five years ago. But here I am getting disappointed."

"Ms. Li Xue, won't we get to see the proofs that would be proving you to be innocent?" Finally, someone got up to ask and Li Xue really felt satisfied. At least someone was there who was not acting out of their character. Media was not someone that was created to sympathize rather were the people to create the stories. She has learned it years back and now seeing one of them stand up to live that character, she has confirmed it today. 

Still keeping a smile on her expressions, she said, "Of course, why not? Just give a few more minutes and the proofs would be up for the whole world to see". She said as she pulled her hands up to check the time. In her mind, she started the count, 

Five … 

Four … 

Three … 

Finally, after so many years, she brought her time back. A new beginning for her starts from here. 

Two …

One.
