Novel Full Chapter 928 - Want Me To Die?
"Aunt Liu!" Wen Sying called softly, walking to Liu Hua, who was busy giving small smiles to the other ladies. Seeing her like that, she really wanted to ask if she was still on the plan or hearing the talks of the people around, she had changed her mindset. Though it would be disastrous for her if she stepped back, she would need to know so that if not her, she could go forward with the same.
Hearing the call, Liu Hua turned to look at Sying and smiled, before turning to politely excuse herself. Then holding onto the arms of the girl intimately, she walked away with her as a mother would walk with her daughter. People around looked and talked but she didn't mind.
"What happened, Sying? Why is your expression like this? Haven't I asked you to smile more for today? You would look more beautiful then." Liu Hua said, giving a coaxing smile but her words only made Wen Sying more dumbfounded.
Pausing in her steps, she halted the woman as well. Then looking at her with a frown, she asked, "How can I smile, Aunt Liu? Li Xue is there deliberately here to snatch away my smiles. Did you not hear her before and also now." She said and then with a slight turn on her side, she gestured to her to look in the direction where Li Xue was standing with the media and talking.
"Look, even now, she is garnering all the attention of the people when it has to be my day. Everyone is just paying eyes to her when it should have been me whom they should be looking at." She added more as her eyes darted to look at Zheng Wenting, who as well was standing at the corner and looking at Li Xue. Every now and then people would come to greet him and he would respond to them with a smile but then again turn back to look at the woman with expectant eyes. An expectation that for once, the woman would turn to look for him.
Liu Hua looked in the gestured direction, and her eyes showed hostility as well but she didn't reveal much on her expression, rather turned back to look at Sying with a smile to say, "You are worrying in vain. This all thing won't be remaining for longer. Just wait for Li Xue to take the bait and her real face would be out for everyone to see. At that time you will no longer be feeling sad." She said and her words only confused Wen Sying.
She was about to ask what she was calling bait when she caught Liu Hua's eyes trailing to look in the direction of the bar counter from where the waiters were distributing the drinks to everyone.
"But Aunt Liu, Li Xue would never be dumb to take the drinks carelessly. Until now she has not touched even a glass of soft drink. I think we have to plan it another way." If Wen Sying had known that woman would keep her plans so simple as just mixing something in Li Xue's glass of drink, she would have never warned Li Xue beforehand. But now that she has done it, she was sure Li Xue wouldn't be so easy around the party.
Liu Hua smiled before reaching out Sying's hand to give a pat of assurance. "When the time comes she will definitely fall for it. Just wait and see. Don't forget at the end I am the one to give her birth. I know her well to know for which trap she could fall and for which she would not. You go and talk with your friends while I will go and ask Zheng Wenting to get ready for the main ceremony. It's already time."
Wen Sying could only nod and walk away, back to the place MaoMao and others were standing. Since not many people were interested in her, she could just get to reach her friends.
While at the same time, Li Xue was living her promise with media people. Though she was just talking to them liberally, she knew well that people were hearing each of her words with very concentration.
"Ms. Li Xue, if we are not wrong, this dress is from Elvis' Majestic Collection and has been renowned to be very grand both in terms of look and fortune. Can you tell us how you were able to get it so easily?"
One of the reporters asked and Li Xue looked down at her dress with a raised eyebrow. She knew the expensive help from Mr. Beelzebub couldn't be so simple. Her lips curled up as it took a bit of her time to choose her words.
"Is this dress that expensive? Haha … I just bought it on a whim as I had nothing to spend on." She finally said and her reply kind of shocked everyone.
They all looked at her with dumbfounded expressions as internally everyone asked – Could someone spend their thousands of million on a whim? Exactly how well was the girl living her life just after a mere comeback? Wasn't this far better than how models are thought to live?
Everyone got a sudden urge to ask but they still maintained their calmness, waiting for the woman to explain on her own. While on the side, Wen Sying as well couldn't help but think. Only now, hearing the girls talk about the dress, she came to know what the dress was popular for.
Li Xue knew she would not be let off so easily so thinking a little better she cleared her throat to say, "Don't scare me looking like I have exaggerated things. Actually, my company, Glamour World, treats me well. Most of my necessities are looked after by them and I don't have a big family to look after, so when I got the paycheck from Aurora, I had nothing to spend on. So, I did some hefty shopping. That's it, otherwise, in no way I would have afforded it."
Though still a bit superficial, given the profit Aurora must have made in the season, it was still believable.
"We accept that for your dress, but what would you say about the Rolls-Royce that you have driven here. Was it also yours? Or was it CEO Su?" Someone asked again, not forgetting the luxurious car they have seen before.
Hearing himself getting mentioned suddenly, Su Fai was flustered. He shook his head on a whim and felt the glare coming from Li Xue, he regretted doing so. But it was already too late. Everyone had already seen him shaking his head and even though Li Xue didn't want to reveal at first, given the situation she had no other way left.
So, looking at the people, she sighed and revealed the truth, hoping that she wouldn't be dragging Mr. Beelzebub too much into it. "Ah, again I will praise my boss and company for treating me so well. The car definitely wasn't of CEO Su, nor me. It belongs to the second boss of our company. And it has been him who has driven us here."
"Second boss?" People were confused. None has ever heard Glamour World having another boss. It was only now they were hearing that there was a hidden face behind.
Who was it?
Li Xue looked at Su Fai and he knew all well what he had to do next. Stepping forward, he nodded and agreed, "Yes, apart from me Glamor World also has a partner. But I am sorry we couldn't reveal much about him since he has conditioned his existence like that in our agency. Hope you would not push things too much for us."
Though everyone wanted to know who the person was, hearing Su Fai mention it so curtly they had no way to ask further. So they only got themselves satisfied with the way it was presented. Nodding, they looked back at Li Xue and asked the most awaited question.
"Ms. Li Xue, could you tell us what's your relationship with the President of Feng Internationals?"
Though Li Xue was expecting this question as well, the confident tone of the person choked her on her breath. Coughing, her face flushed as she looked around for something to drink. Su Fai ran to get her something. Seeing her like that, people panicked as well, while Zheng Wenting came with a glass of soft drink to offer immediately.
Li Xue looked at him. The expression of worry was evident in the eyes of the man. Looking at him so concerned, no woman would have rejected him but Li Xue did. Shaking her head to him, she reached to get the sealed bottle of mineral water that Su Fai got for him. "S-Sorry, CEO Su but I would prefer some mineral water than chilled drink"
Though her words might have sounded like rejection, behind that rejection it was more of her carefulness. She would be stupid to drink just any glass of drink here, especially after hearing Wen Sying's words earlier.
Zheng Wenting felt rejected. Stepping back a little, he stood there, looking at the girl sipping the water before asking, "Are you alright?"
Li Xue nodded. "Yes, thank you!" She said and then without giving much concern turned back to look at the media people to say. "You almost gave me a heart attack.. Do you want me to die in the hands of President Feng's fans?" She replied not clearly rejecting the words of the reporters but keeping it ambiguous.
