48 Slaps and blood

"Where have you been?" Li Shen anxiously asked as soon as he spotted Anna. He was afraid she might be in trouble.

Anna pointed towards the restroom in reply. Li Shen sighed in relief and both walked back to their corner seat.

"Let's know more about the details of Belle from Ms Yu Yuri." The emcee announced calling Yu Yuri on the dias.

Yu Yuri gave a short explanation about Belle how good it is and it could become one of the greatest perfume.

Every year Yu company would organize Annual party to showcase their achievements and also to promote upcoming projects grabbing the attention of sponsors and public. It's the marketing technique introduced by Elder Yu.

Anna gave a light nod to someone and the person understood.

"Ms Yu Yuri, as we all know, all the great perfume products have taken years of research and development but you're a rockie in perfume business so what made you think about Belle and how did you able to achieve Belle?" The person questioned, he was the 'Newday' magazine journalist. He was just an average journalist and because of Anna he was able to get an invitation to the party.

Yu Yuri gulped internally, she finally understood Anna's plan. She thought Anna's plan is to get her embarrassed in front of everyone. But she wasn't going to give a chance.

"Well thank you for appreciating Belle as one of the greatest perfume. Belle has always been my dream and by God's grace in short span I was able to develop Belle through my own hard work but it still needs to undergo lot of improvements." Yu Yuri answered cleverly never answering the direct question of the journalist.

"What is the essence of Belle?" He asked again.

This was something she wasn't expecting.

All the perfumes hold a certain significance, they has their own story to tell. The perfumer is like a god creating his creation for certain reason. For a perfumer, fragrance can be considered a medium of communication, he or she tries to tell a story or an emotion to the world with their creation.

"Belle is the symbol of friendship and love." At that moment Yu Yuri could only come up with that.

According to her Yu Han created Belle for Zen Longwei, carving for love since it was at that time Zen Longwei accepted Yu Han and both began to date.

Applause and cheers erupted as she declared the essence of Belle.

'The bait is finally in trap.' Anna thought mischievously.

"Well Ms Yu Yuri I'm looking forward for it." The journalist gave a toast to Yu Yuri as his work is done.

Thanking everyone Yu Yuri gracefully walked down from the dias.

The Annual Party almost came to end with Elder Yu and Yu Kong busy sending off the guests.

Anna and Li Shen were sitting at the far end corner of the hall sipping their drinks. Li Shen was eagerly waiting for Anna to make a move. But Anna was lazily sipping her drink she was taking all her time in doing so.

Yu Yuri held her head high as she walked towards Anna stopping in front of her with a triumph look.

"Well sister I think my words about Belle wasenough proof for you to believe Belle is really my work." Strangely Yu Yuri was little loud.

Anna kept her head low giving a sorrowful look whereas Yu Yuri's eyes were glittering in delight.

"Congratulations." giving a bitter smile Anna proposed a toast.

"Yu Han..." Li Shen couldn't believe his eyes. What the hell is she doing?

"What are you talking about Xiao Yuri?" Lizi asked in high pitched voice gathering crowd around them.

"Aunty it's nothing." Yu Yuri brows furrowed and tried to cover up.

"Did this wench do something? what proof were you talking about?" Lizi just needed a reason to bash and humiliate Anna and this reason is more than enough for her.

"Nothing.." Yu Yuri tried to calm Lizi, although she would enjoy Anna getting humiliated she didn't wanted rumors to spread about Belle's origin.

"I said Ms Yu Yuri have stolen Belle from someone." Anna answered lazily.

Gasps and murmurs began among the crowd. Few gave a suspicious look towards Yu Yuri and began gossiping.

"Witch you're just trying to defame my daughter." Xu Liang snickered.

"Your jealous of my Xiao Yuri you're afraid she's more worthy than you and loved byYu Kong and elder Yu. You are nothing but a trash."

"She's the first young lady of Yu family how dare you try to defame her, do you know what are the consequences." Lizi butted in arrogantly.

"Everyone knows who's the real first young lady and who belongs to the garbage outside." Anna'ssharp words was like a trigger point.

"You! who did you call garbage?!" Lizi took a step threateningly. Li Shen became alert and took a step as well but Anna's stance remained the same except her eyes turned cold and an dangerous aura consumed her.

"You are the garbage and slut whoring around just like your mother, you're the dirty of blood of Li An Shu..." Lizi was cut off abruptly.

*Slap*

The entire room was stunned it was pin drop silent.

Lizi held her burning cheeks Anna had slapped her too hard. She couldn't believe herself that Anna would fight back, all these years Yu Han only tried to fight with words and always failedmiserably in it.

Holding her cheeks Lizi gave a venomous glare to Anna.

"**** you bitch!" Lizi aggressively raised her hand to slap back Anna. Anna's reflex moved faster, stopping Lizi's hand in midair Anna slapped her again even more harder.

Lizi fell on the marble floor holding her throbbing cheeks puking some blood.

Li Shen stood dumbfounded, his mouth was opened in awe looking at the scene. Xu Liang, Yu Yuri, Yu Feng, Meng Bei and others stood thunderstruck, they were too shaken to say anything.

Xu Liang recovered quickly and went to help Lizi.

"Lizi.." Xu Liang helped her stand up.

Anna stood stall with head held high her eyes were ice cold and her aura was intimidating.
