"Marié, you are behaving a lot like Bai Jun." Linda said with a frown. She looked disappointed seeing Marié act like that.
"Oh please do not compare me with that worthless human! I am a lot better than her." Marié said in an angry tone.
"Seriously, I don't see any difference between you two." Linda said.
"There is a big difference between us. I don't go around having eyes on another woman's man and neither do I sabotage my colleagues' works. I only try to fight for my rightful position." Marié said.
One of them asked with folded arms, "And what rightful position is yours? Do you think you own FJ and that nobody can do better than you?"
Jia Li who has been listening to them argue and exchange words got tired and didn't want to stand in their midst, so she reminded them about the meeting they had with Sunny and only then did they agree to go their separate ways.
Jia Li could finally heave a sigh of relief as she walked about to check on her models. She addressed them before letting them go.
DanDan knew that Jia Li would be so busy, so she hugged her and asked for them to meet up before Christmas, to which Jia Li agreed.
FangSu on the other hand embraced Jia Li for a long time before letting her go. And she left after saying these words to her, "Congratulations Sister-in-law, see you at home."
After the brief meeting with Sunny, Jia Li packed her things and left for the underground parking lot. Fu Hua asked her to wait for him, she didn't want to at first because she didn't want them to be seen together by the others immediately after they just announced their relationship but she didn't want to disobey him, so she just listened.
On their way back home, Fu Hua wanted them to get something outside but Jia Li refused. She knew that she was probably the center of attention, so she didn't want those curious gazes on her.
Fu Hua understood her worries and just hugged her while asking the driver to take them straight to the house.
Back home, the Fu family was waiting for them to have a little celebration. Grandfather Fu was especially happy that Fu Hua revealed Jia Li's identity as his wife to the public.
Jasmine who wasn't able to be at a close range with her parents earlier could finally relax in their embrace. Normally, the little bun liked to feed herself but today, she allowed her mother to feed her. It seems that they missed her greatly.
When FangSu and YingPei tried to get her attention so they could carry her away, she didn't fall for their tricks and remained hidden in her mother's embrace.
The next day, it looked like Fu Hua knew the cons of announcing that Jia Li was his wife because he stayed calm with the new rumor going on that Jia Li's dresses were deliberately made to look the best so the award would be given to her.
This rumor came after Marié posted something about the competition. Her words were suggestive and implied that something was wrong with the competition.
An Anti-fan of Jia Li commented under the post and shared it. This was what she said, "FJ was biased with the competition, I'm sure something shady was done, otherwise how could JL's dress look the best? Did they provide the best materials and leave so little for the remaining contestants?"
After she shared her post, so many people attacked her but some supported her.
"I also thought something was wrong. I think JL was treated that way because she is Mr. Fu's wife and this was done to make her stand out."
As this heated conversation was going on, Sunny immediately contacted the Public Relations to ask them to take care of the rumors after giving them details of the competition before calling Marié on phone.
Marié who felt guilty for what she did, as she was carried away by anger, was afraid to answer Sunny's call. She just broke a rule as FJ's employee. She talked bad about her company and published something she shouldn't have.
Sunny was angry that Marié was ignoring her call and finally sent her a direct message, listing out the punishment she was to receive, for speaking ill of FJ and also spreading false information on the net.
Sunny asked her not to bother reporting to work the next day, and till 2 weeks was off and as for the prize she got from the completion, FJ was going to take it back and give it to someone else that was worth it.
When the other colleagues saw Marié's post, they were very angry and wanted to attack her but they didn't want to cause more fights, so they came together to compose a message before posting it with one of their accounts.
Their message strongly emphasized that the budget given to all of them were equal but Jia Li used her money to add to what the company gave them to work with and that was why a lot of effort was seen in her designs and that she was not to be blamed for it. In the end, they said that she deserved the award and that they were proud of her.
Within a minute, FJ made a public post. They said an equal budget was given to each contestant and because there was no rule that said that the contestants couldn't use their money for the competition, Jia Li didn't break any rule. Also, Marié's punishment for spreading a false rumor about FJ was publicized.
When most people finally came to understand the reasons Jia Li's designs looked more expensive than her colleagues, they praised her for being smart.
Someone said that even if the stone she used on her dresses were fake, she would still be the winner because her dresses were outstanding.
Someone else said that there was no way Jia Li could use fake material, as it would ruin FJ's standards.
When Marié discovered that Jia Li used her money for the competition and that she deceived the public, she regretted her actions.
When her colleagues were asking Jia Li about her designs, she was angry and jealous and so sat by herself and that was the reason she had no idea that Jia Li used her own money for the competition.
Marié was blinded by jealousy and of the fact that Jia Li got the first place, so she made that post about her having more budget than them and concluded that it was the reason she came first.
