Biting the hands that were feeding her! Heh! Li Xue let out an interest twisted chuckle at those words. Of course, the intentions behind those words were crystal clear.
Fu Guang has purposefully said his words that way, clearly fanning the flames of the rumors going on the internet. But who said fanning every flame only makes it flare brighter? Some could even make the spark die down in an instant. And Li Xue knew very well how to fan a flame to make it die the very moment.
She turned slightly to look at the man on the side, who has suddenly shot up from his seat, feigning his nervousness behind his aggression. For the flash of his eyes, she allowed him to see the worry he wanted to see in her eyes but didn't allow him to cherish it.
Giving a slight lift to one corner of her lip with a bit of raise in her brows, she overturned the accusation with ease. "Everyone's views are based on their perceptions. And seeing CEO Fu, suddenly so riled up, I doubt how he takes CEO Zheng as? Are you doubting Ms. Wen's skill in choosing her right partner? Or are you doubting CEO Zheng's personality as a good boyfriend?"
She paused and then slowly added, "Furthermore, I never remember taking CEO Zheng's hand to feed on."
Fu Guang was instantly at a loss. He glared at her, but the woman didn't show any interest to mind his eyes as before. Without bothering anything about him, she simply turned back to look at the crowd in front of her and said with a smile.
"I wouldn't know much about other people's perception. But believe me, I would say according to my knowledge Ms. Wen and CEO Zheng is a well-suited pair and perfect for each other". She said, and once again, the media buzzed up with consequencing questions.
"Ms. Li, are your words meant to deny the allegations that are being thrown on you on the internet?"
"Are you saying all this just to come out clear? Are you truly not associated with CEO Zheng in any way?"
"Ms. Li Xue, then how would you be justifying your appearance here? Can you explain that how and why did the compensation amount of 8 million was drawn back?"
Li Xue again waited. She did not hurry. Haste has never brought anything good until it's damage that you want to see. Once acc.u.mulated with enough of the same type of questions, she plainly mused, "I still believe that Chiboa's law system is the most complicated one in this world. Is it not?"
The people were confused once again. Conversing with the woman felt like they have turned to be the dumbest. They have been trying their best to come over to intimidate her, but however they tried, the woman was simply not losing her composure. She looked like she was not a plaything for them; instead, she made them her toy.
Her attitude was now getting on the nerves of various media personnel, who were growing tired of her arrogance. This was not their first time covering her this way. Some of them were there in the past, too—the ones who have covered both her success and also her scandal back in time.
"What do you mean, Ms. Li Xue? Don't you feel your arrogance is not well suited at the place? Especially after the news ongoing about you everywhere?" One of them stood up to say, and Li Xue's brows turned stiff at those words for the first time. Her eyes sharp enough to battle the piercing comment of the reporter.
But then, just when everyone thought she lost it, a curl shined again on her features before she added. "Though I know that nowadays, people and also media get easily dominated by some fake rumors, I still expected something better from a senior entertainment journalist like you, Mr. He." It took some time, but Li Xue easily recollected the name of the man she was missing in her memories.
"Anyway, what I was saying is that Chiboa's law has never been an easy one where people can put a lawful claim and just withdraw it back by their will. There are still the procedures that needed to be followed and also the consent of both the parties", She added more, moving her eyes firmly at every person sitting at the front. Her confidence not even wavering at once.
At her words, Wu Long was dumbfounded. He has clearly sent the notification to the Glamour World saying that they would be withdrawing the compensation claim, then what was the lady saying here now. He got up to get near her and ask. "Ms. Li Xue, I feel like there is some miscommunication here. We have called …"
He was in the mid of his words when suddenly was silenced in his expression with one look of the woman. It was not any stiff glance of the woman but a mesmerizing one, something like he has seen for the first time in his life. He blamed the proximity between them about it, but anyway, he was back to his seat at once with just one wordless askance. Maybe now, he understood what was so different in the lady to make the former CEO cherish her as the artiste under the banner.
"With your words, Ms. Li Xue, do you mean you are not ready to let Oriental Spark withdraw compensation claim from your name?" Someone asked, collecting the gist from her earlier words, while others were surprised to realize the exact meaning. This was the first time they heard something like this in history. Most of the time, people die asking for concession in the payable compensation, yet here the lady was saying that she was rejecting the idea of kindness shown to her.
Fu Guang was one at the higher loss. Definitely, this was not the sequence he has planned for their benefit. Not able to take the defeat, he was immediately at the edge.
"What nonsense are you sprouting, Li Xue? Do you want us to believe in your lie now?"
