Chapter 73 - Quality life of righteousness.

When Wen Sying heard such direct attacking words from Li Xue, she felt her face going pale. How can her intentions be seen through by her? She has never expected her guess so right and to the point. She has done the same in the past but has never been caught nor her friend ever pointed out like this, then why was she insulting her today. She thought.

"Li Xue, you are getting me wrong. I really never intended to bring all that up. I have even told them to not bring the past in front of you. I have never intended to hurt you. Believe me", she worded out her words of defense. But all these words now had no value in the eyes of the woman.

She has long lost the trust she once had in her life. Long abandoned the feelings and emotions for which she had never been reciprocated genuinely.

Li Xue turned to scan the room. Her gaze was sharp, piercing everyone with the warning "Is that so? Sorry I don't know if I could believe your words or not. But it's okay since I am already here I can manage. Let's proceed further, I don't have all day to spend here", she said and gestured to her to walk, without caring about the hurt expression Sying was showcasing to instigate the guilt inside her.

Wen Sying bit her lips trying to control the disappointment she was feeling inside. Even after so many years and so many achievements, she was still not able to intimidate the woman whom she has taken as her biggest rival both in life and profession. But was there something she could do?

No, she can't do anything. The truth was, she needed her. She needed her on her side, so that the evil deed she has done in the past remains there and never gets opened in the future. So even if she has to beseeched, losing her own face in between this useless friend group, she will do it.

So nodding to her gesture, she smiled and led her towards the table where the rest of the people were waiting.

The other women who were witnessing all this were experiencing the same feeling. They felt envious to the core. Looking at Li Xue still flaunting her ways and attitude, they were just not able to accept it.

In the past they could not do anything because she has always remained on the top of the throne, a position that has always been out of their reach, but looking her all the same even after she was dethroned brutally, they simply could not accept.

Enraged with such thought one woman worded out. Her tone sounded very soft and friendly but the words she had used were dipped with rancor, "Li Xue, you are quite impressive. Even after being humiliated publicly, you still dared to show your face in front of us. Don't take me wrong, if something like that had ever happened with me I might have not been alive to face this world, you know. You have really got tough guts of shamelessness"

On the mention of an incident from the past, Li Xue's fists got clenched. The dreadful scene from the past started scrolling up in front of her eyes. But still her fright did not get any chance to put any hints on her expressions.

Her lips curled up into a confident smile as her eyes moved to gaze towards the woman who has presented all her toxicated thoughts out in one go. "Haha … that's not called shamelessness. That's the confidence you can only gain when you have lived a quality life of righteousness. And like you said, if something similar would have happened with you, there is no way you can be this confident because … you know it better than me" She said all straight and simple, without covering any intentions.

"You … Li Xue what do you mean by that" the woman who has thought to insult someone else has to taste her own medicine with extra bitterness. She felt mortified by those words.

"Oops don't think like I am cursing you with bad luck. I really didn't. I was just explaining to you why I am still alive and not dead, like you asked", she said as she lifted up her drink goblet to take a sip.

The other women who were present at the scene felt really bad. They can't help as all their attempts to look down on Li Xue was turning futile. Every heart turned sour when looked at the woman who has publicly displayed her dominance while being all calm and composed. They have never known that someone can even tyrannize the crowd with just a few words.

At this moment, Wen Sying said, "Li Xue, I know we made a mistake but we must drop that topic now. Please do it for my sake this time. It's a friendly gathering today. Why make it so intense?"

Li Xue held her jaw and lifted her eyebrows in surprise, "Why it feel like the blame of this situation is being pushed over me? Fine … Fine, I will take blame for all of your people's sake. But take that as my share payment for the bill that will be incurred on this lunch. You know I don't live off of someone else's food or money".

Everyone was speechless. They did not know how to react to those words. Wen Sying smiled and then nodded. Soon some more dishes were added to the table. Though the food was delicious, no one was able to enjoy its deliciousness.

Soon a phone buzzed in the room. Everyone's eyes instantly turned to look in the direction from where the call ringtone was reverberating. The woman smiled sheepishly and then gestured politely for an excuse.

The women laughed knowingly and then nodded. "Haha … did you see her smile? It must be a call from CEO Zheng. Aishhh! She is really living a blissful life now. CEO Zheng really loves and pampers her like a princess"

Someone said from between and everyone agreed. For them Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying were the couple made in heaven. Li Xue could not control but roll her eyes at their words. "Sure they were the couple made for each other. Perfectly complimenting each other", she said and then continued with her food.

"Li Xue, don't regret now. We all know that once in history, you were deep into CEO Zheng but not everyone can end up together. You should accept your defeat and bless such a good couple together".
