Chapter 875 - Give Up On Life And Career.
"Meng Meng! Du Fan! What's happening here?" At this moment, a cold, serious voice of Li Xue came, making everyone's attention turn towards the lady. Along her was also Su Fai, whose expressions were looking no less serious. At the moment, they looked like the seniors who have come forward, taking the authority to let the juniors understand their mistakes.
On her voice, Xiao Meng was the first to respond. "Sister Xue!" Turning herself to look at her, she was about to say more but when caught the cold glare coming her way, she wasn't able to say anything. That gaze itself was enough to make her go silent. Looking down with some guilt, she cowered back accepting her fault.
Du Fan was also a bit taken aback. Though it was not his first time seeing Li Xue at the charge, still in all the previous time he has seen her with Feng Shufen, she was still very warm and gentle, unlike today where she was exuding the coldness from her being. "Madam!" Giving a slight bow, he quickly greeted but didn't say anything more.
His such polite gesture looked a bit out of the world to others but seeing Li Xue, standing all nonchalant to it they could already make out that it wasn't something new to her.
."So submissive and obedient! Do you think she has got a royal background? Because we have only seen princesses getting these types of treatments in movies.? Someone who has witnessed the scene asked from the other.
"Shush! Don't be too loud at the moment. Can't you see, she is looking so threatening? I feel like today Yuan Yuan would be in trouble?"
"Though I am not too sure of the royal background. But somewhere I have always felt Li Xue has been different. She definitely holds an expensive mystery in her background. Otherwise having such a handsome man as her driver is simply not possible. Do you think he can be her boyfriend in secret?"
At such an assumption, few gazes turned to look at the person while someone in between shook her head denying it. "Don't assume that looking just at the charms of the man. Did you forget, there was a team of such handsome men around her. If your prior assumption is something believable then will you also believe all those men as her boyfriends?"
"Damn, she is so lucky to have such men around her. Who has said that a comeback model's life gets tough in the industry? She is doing better than anyone else in the stream."
The women standing at the back of the crowd gossiped while enjoying the scene at the front. Though their voices were merely whispers, it was easily reaching almost every ear. And in that every ear, one pair was of Yuan Yuan as well.
"Xiao Meng, I asked you what has happened here?" Li Xue asked again and with her tone, it was evident enough that in reply to her words, she wasn't asking the girl to say anything but remain all silent. But the little assistant was too innocent to understand that.
Lifting her head, she was about to relay the whole of the story that might have turned into a disadvantage, so before she could say anything Su Fai interrupted.
"Yuan Yuan, what is the whole ruckus about? You tell me." He said, directing his words directly to the model, making everyone think that he has his confidence not in the assistant Xiao Meng, but in Yuan Yuan.
Xiao Meng bit her lower lip realizing that, while her eyes blinked hopefully at Li Xue, who didn't care to give her any sympathy. While on the other side, feeling favored by the CEO of the company, Yuan Yuan's courage was at its peak.
Who said Li Xue was favored by the CEO? Even if she was, she couldn't remain there forever. Thanks to the men surrounding her. After all, which man will remain interested in a woman who always has so many men surrounding her. Yuan Yuan boasted herself, reasoning her belief.
Her eyes looked at Li Xue disdainfully first before turning to give a glare at the assistant and then again turning to look back at Li Xue with an intent that was telling how much deep envious grudge she was holding inside.
"Yuan Yuan?" Su Fai probed again and at his call, at once the whole demure of the girl changed. Turning all like the lone victim of the issue, she started in a self-guilt tone, like it was her who had been wronged at the scene.
"CEO Su, I am sorry, I didn't want to cause this ruckus. But I am not able to take the unnecessary foul play that Sister Xue and her lackeys are playing here. They are deliberately bullying us, making her lose the morals. At this rate, I fear I will soon be giving up on both my career and life. You have to help me now." She said and at her words, Li Xue could not help herself from rolling her eyes.
Su Fai was also dumbfounded. He was feeling weird as well. Though earlier, giving the model an upper hand, he was trying to help Li Xue in her way. But he never knew that just a simple help like this will make him feel like the emperor who got himself in the house of concubines, where his one concubine was asking him to help her in front of the other. He dared not think Li Xue to be one of those but the feeling was so real that he could not help.
"CEO Su, this mere assistant has deliberately insulted me in front of others, and now instead of apologizing to me, she is threatening me using the name of Sister Xue. Is Sister Xue standing in such a formidable place in the company that we are nowhere near to her. She has got only one good show, what made her boast herself up with just one success?"
Yuan Yuan continued and her words only made Li Xue more and more amused. She was truly a troublemaker in every sense. If not held patience rightly, then each and every word can become responsible for one new issue.
No doubt her Meng Meng was involved. Given her young age, she was bound to get enraged easily.
"Sister Xue, believe me, I wasn't the one to begin it. It was her who had come asking for it. I was here just looking after your order. And …" Seeing the model falsely interpreting the scenario, Xiao Meng felt at loss. She came forward to explain herself, but before she could complete her words, Yuan Yuan interrupted her, again whining about her loss.
"CEO Su, did you see that, she is again blaming me. In front of you, she is giving all the importance to Sister Xue again as if here, only her words would prevail. She was like this before as well. I have just come here to ask her to help me with something but she not only refused to do so but also insulted me saying that she doesn't want herself to be compared with me on the same success scale."
She said and at her words brought Xiao Meng to the edge. "You …" She was about to charge saying that but right at the moment, Li Xue halted her, giving a blink of assuredness.
"Meng Meng!" Li Xue called and at her first call of belief, the tears the little assistant was holding her eyes rolled down her cheeks.
"Sister Xue, I …"
"It's okay Meng Meng. Let me handle it for you." She said and the young assistant nodded, holding back her tears.
