Chapter 924 - Trouble Holding A Funeral For Me.

The moment Li Xue got down the car, flashes of cameras were coming her way. No doubt her look was entrancing with her face complimenting her dress like it was tailored while keeping her beauty in mind. 

But it was not just her face that was capturing the attention of the camera today. The focus was also becoming her dress. 

Dressed in a pastel grey evening gown, she was looking no less than the poise fairy descending from the night sky, wrapped around with stars from the galaxy. Even the jewelry she was wearing was looking so exquisite coming out from some custom-made collection. 

"Whoa! So mesmerizing! Capture her from every profile. Her looks would surely be looking grand on the front page." Someone said and, on her orders, quickly the cameraman speeded his flashes adjusting his angles to capture from all sides. 

"Aye, wait! Doesn't the dress remind you of some similar piece that has once been in the news?" 

"Yeah, yeah! I felt the same too. So, I have searched it online. The one she is wearing looks like the piece from the Majestic collection of Elvis. This has been tagged as his best creation up until now. And it's also mentioned that this dress alone costs in millions." 

"Elvis! Isn't he the top-notch designer from London? I have heard his designs have always changed the trends of the fashion and many people imitate his designs but none has ever been successful in copying him."

"Do you mean that the one Li Xue is wearing could be an imitation of his real piece? Doesn't she care that such a move could tarnish her name?"

"Majestic collection! Now that it has been mentioned, I remember it. It looks exactly the same. To people's eyes, it might look like the dress is given the gradient touch with the finish of sequins but in actuality, Elvis has used eleven thousand diamond pieces in all sizes to create this original piece. The thought that none could afford to copy." 

"Shreds of diamonds! Is it real?" Amid discussions, someone couldn't help but ask in disbelief. But when saw everyone giving him the glances, he could only force himself to tame his curiosity. 

But it was not just him who was curious, but almost everyone present in the group was curious to know. Today, they have come to get details of one news, but none have thought that in one day they would get so much to focus on. They were fearful that if not concentrated well, they would forget to ask something that might be very important. 

"Focus! We have a lot to ask and it would be a great loss if we forget to ask even one thing among them." One of them said, taking a deep breath in to focus, while the others nodded and hummed in unison. 

While from the front, hooking the arms with Su Fai, Li Xue came. Her steps were as graceful as they were supposed to be. Nothing was over-exaggerating. Everything in her movements was suiting her posture. Be it her steps, smile, or even the movement of tugging her brown wavy locks behind the ears. 

She was carrying herself in a way that could make women envious, while men to hold their breaths. 

Though Su Fai was walking beside her and was looking handsome, his charms were something that was not giving the feel that was required. So even looking at them having the hooked arms together, none were holding any suspicion on their relationship. 

So, when they saw Li Xue almost appearing near, none went to her with prepared questions on her relationship with her company boss, rather everyone jumped straight on the questions that they deemed to be important. 

"Ms. Li Xue, you are finally here. Appearing at the venue so late today, do you have any special reasons? Or your delay in arrival is a deliberation given your past relationship with Mr. Zheng?" 

"Ms. Li Xue, we have heard about your previous relationship with Mr. Zheng. We want to know how you are feeling about attending his engagement today." 

"CEO Zheng is marrying your once known best friend? Do you want to say something about it?" 

"Ms. Li Xue …" 

One after the other several questions were served for Li Xue and it didn't surprise her even a bit. The smile which she was holding on her expression never wavered which clearly clarified that she was already expecting it to be like this. 

She didn't say anything in reply to those questions, rather kept just her elegant smile. When they saw her not saying even a word, everyone went silent as well, not getting the meaning of her silence. 

"Ms. Li Xue?" Getting all confused, someone asked to which Li Xue finally replied, darting her gaze to look inside the venue. 

"Ahh, finally there is silence from you guys. Or else, I almost thought that with so many back-to-back questions, I would be buried alive here. And then after the engagement, CEO Zheng and Ms. Wen would have to take the trouble of holding a funeral for me." Li Xue said and her words amused everyone. 

Unnecessarily, they felt bad for their such desperate attitude as well. "We are sorry, Ms. Li Xue, it's just that we really have a lot of questions for you, and seeing you finally coming, we weren't able to control. We are sorry for our behavior." 

"Haha … that's okay. I can see all of your excitement. But could you give me a moment? As you can see, I am already late and people are talking about it. Let me not take their false accusations for longer. Allow me to greet the couple of the night first and next I will bring myself ready for your questions." 

She said and hearing her, the reporters exchanged glances before giving her way to walk in first. But just at the moment the lights went off with just a minimal tiny bulb around, making Li Xue paused in her steps. That was bit unusual and none understood what happened. Was there some issue? If no, then was it some arrangement made for some special entry? Even so, shouldn't this special entry should belong to the couple of the night? That's Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying.

But amid the darkness something else caught their eyes. It was Li Xue's dress that was shimmering like crystal in the darkness.. The authentic shine of diamonds.
