Chapter 613 - Too cliché plot

Chapter 613 - Too cliché plot

When the news was uproaring in the whole fashion, Glamour World was not having anything different but a mess to clear off. Though nothing was evident on the surface, they were still not dumb to not understand what trick was being played on them from behind the curtains.

"Lin Xinyi, have you reached the company's lawyer? Did he already leave to Li Xue's aid?" Su Fai asked, still looking at the online streaming conference of Oriental Spark. His brows furrowed with some severeness as he heard more accusations getting thrown at Li Xue.

"Ahh, yes, the lawyer has left, but we can't be sure if he would be able to get there on time since there is a very messy traffic jam on the way to reach Oriental Spark. Li Xue is still stuck in it," Lin Xinyi said, with a panic-stricken face. She was regretting her decision.

Lin Xinyi never knew that regret would strike in her career so fast, but now she was ruing her decision not to send the lawyer with the girl when she asked for it. Her composure looked all calm and composed outside, but internally she was now nowhere near to that calmness.

Su Fai looked at her. His eyes did not miss the slight tremble of her hands. "You can come and sit here first and then think what else we could do after this." He said, taking his eyes back at the screen. "And don't worry, though the things seem tough, we have yet to make a move. So, things will change. That's a different thing that now no longer we will know how those changes will come out to be."

The woman nodded but then added in a tone of apology. "It's my fault I should have been careful. But my overconfidence about things took me off guard. Only if I have sent a lawyer with her, then something might have come into our control. But now …"

"That's fine. Don't ponder over it more. Just check with Li Xue and see how long it will take for her to reach there. Her absence from the scene would only deteriorate things more." Su Fai said. If the situation would have been a little different, then he would not have minded giving some time to talk with the woman to console her out of her regret. But right now, something else happening around was keeping him at the edge.

Lin Xinyi also nodded. She knew the seriousness of the situation and also that this was not the time to sit at the side to cry at the spilled milk. "I will make the call then. Please help me keep an eye on the event; we should not miss the right moment this time." She said, again getting up to make a move.

Su Fai stared at the lady, his eyes shining with something before he affirmed. "Sure. You can focus on your thing."

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, at Oriental Spark,

"CEO Wu, why Ms. Li Xue has not appeared till now? Shouldn't she already be here by this time"

"This was the conference kept for her, then why Ms. Li Xue has not yet appeared here, CEO Wu? Has she went to hide somewhere again, same as she did five years ago".

"What was her intention of appearing after so many years? Was it that Oriental spark has been the one to find the needle out of the haystack?"

The media was continuously buzzing with the questions, one after the other. Every question aimed to taint Li Xue in the name of both her scandal years ago and also the recent streaming news on the internet. They were just there to get the news to make their channels rise in ratings.

But suddenly, everyone went silent the moment they heard the sound of cl.i.c.k.i.n.g heels come from the distance. Their eyes at once turning to look at the entrance from where a woman came strutting in all confidently.

"Whoa! Isn't that Li Xue? She has finally shown up?" Someone said from the mid of the crowd said with a gasp, snapping everyone back from their trance of mesmerization. "She has truly come here?"

Camera flashes started capturing the woman's looks as she strolled inside without paying any heed to the murmurs or the whispers from the side. Her shoulders were stretched perfectly, pulled into shape while her chin was up; her face was neither hiding the thin glimmer of glowing makeup nor her eyes pulling away from the credence she has come up with.

"She is looking so confident. Is she not aware of the things going on about her on the internet?"

"She has come alone. No one seems accompanying her. Didn't someone say that she was planning to join the industry back? "

Slowly and slowly, murmurs again began louder as Li Xue walked up to the front desk where all the company representatives were sitting. Her eyes, turning mysteriously sharp while scanning shortly at the two CEOs and then turning to face the crowd. Her gaze intense enough to make everyone go silent at the very instant.

Suddenly sensing the pin-drop silence in the air with just small sounds of camera flashes, Li Xue could not help but smile for some reason. Then slowly downing herself to give a slight bow of greeting,? under everyone's confused eyes, she said. "Good evening, everyone! I apologize for reaching so late. The traffic jam on the way was not in my control. As all of you know that, instead of reaching here, I could not focus on charming some handsome traffic policemen on the way."

Li Xue punned, deliberately showing the hints of sarcasm in her words. But who said the people would have time to notice sarcasm when they have their own story to cover after? So instead of sensing the satire behind the women's words, they simply proceeded with the questions they were dying to know about?

"Ms. Li Xue, since you are here, can you tell us the scandal you have stirred again?"

"Have you checked the news that is going online about you?"

"Are you and CEO Zheng Wenting are really in some immoral relationship? Have you betrayed your friend behind her back?"

"Scandal? Are you sure that it's me who stirred the scandal 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?
