Chapter 537 - Charms to wrap so many men around her fingers.

On her last encounter with Wen Sying at the mall, in the restroom when Li Xue has bent forward to take out the scarf from Wen Sying's bag, she has already seen her phone beeping with Ning Meiling's messages. To know what they were talking about, she never needed to go deep into the texts, just her little assumption would also not say the guess wrong.

Her lips curled a little with pity when she thought how easy it might have been for Wen Sying to join Ning Meiling in her plans. Since the lady was already having a height of envy for her, just a little twisted story might have been enough to make her believe the things, as she wanted.

How pathetic it was to become the pawn in the hands of some other! But people are never forced to it. They have always given the choices to take.

If seen morally, then Ning Meiling was just getting used by Wen Sying. And with consideration of moralement, Li Xue should try a chance to make things right with her. But then again whoever vouched on Li Xue's morality? If someone had then it was their fault for doing so, as, except regret, nothing else would be coming in their pocket.

The woman has been very much moral and kind personality; righteous enough to become anyone's ideal. But all those attributes of her were only reserved for the people who have been good to her and about him she cared. The rest of the world was not her concern to care about, same as she has never been a concern for them, 5 years back.

Since Ning Meiling has decided to ally with her enemy and go against her, then while taking Wen Sying down, she would not plan to go easy on her too. After all, all her enemies deserve the same. Her hatred and resentments, not her sympathy.

The curl of her lips turned slightly sinister at the thought, while she turned around to hold Mia, patting lightly on her hands to calm her nerves down.

"Mia, that's not how you should behave dear. Chef Ning is still your superior right now and there is still a week time for you to get your independent corner. Don't disobey her too much, okay? Instead, take some learning from her." Smiling warmly at her, Li Xue said. She blinked her eyes all understandingly at the girl to ease her down.

She has seen the sincerity in the care. the young girl had for her in her eyes from the very first day she met her at Feng Internationals. From her fangirling attitude towards Feng Shufen to the support she kept for her, Li Xue could see everything coming real.

"From now, you can go and complete your work at your station first. Director Huo will still be looking over you for a few days before working on my suggestion. So, be a little careful and mindful of your actions". She added on.

Mia looked at her. She sighed a little in disappointment, thinking how useless she had been but then nodded and went back inside.

Once she was gone, Li Xue gestured to Chen Yujian to also walk away like a good kid but he didn't budge off. Sighing to his stubbornness, deliberately she has to show him her phone as a threat to make the boy retreat in obedience.

Chen Yujian clenched his jaws at her threat and then slightly giving a stomp on his foot, he turned to leave. But that was not before his grumbling, that came out enough loud. "One who has got dirt on their own self should never dare to lift mirrors on others. They might not take their own image later".

The meaning was clear and was directly delivered to the person it was intended.

"You …" Ning Meiling acted up on her riled up twisted nerves but the boy was not in the mood to entertain himself, any longer with her. So, without giving any heed to her started words, he just walked away, pulling his hands up to wave back while the other remained tugged in his pocket.

"Chef Li, in my knowledge you have been the best star chef of Sweet Delicacy, till now and except you, I am not going to take anyone else's orders. Not even in their rarest dreams. So, some people should just stop having such useless dreams". He said back out loud, before disappearing inside the dessert shop.

Looking at him walking off like that, Li Xue could only smile and shake her head. This boy has really got some of his characteristics from his Uncle. Though not as mature and killing as Feng Shufen, still the people would easily make out from his ruthless words.

While one was impressed by Chen Yujian's arrogant attitude, the other was fuming inside. Ning Meiling bit her lips before directing all her anger to Li Xue.

"Chef Li, I must say, you really have charms to wrap so many men around your fingers. But I never expected that you would not even spare a young boy. I guess I have underestimated you too much. You are the woman who doesn't go for moral thoughts rather for the benefits. Be it either an aged man like Director Huo, someone else's fiancée like Mr Zheng Wenting or a youngster like Chen Yujian, you would not spare anyone until and unless your benefits are related. Really, I am impressed"

At those words, Li Xue would have puked her disgust out. But more than disgusted, she was feeling surprised at the story that Wen Sying must have weaved to her. Exactly which bi*ch, she once thought to be a good friend.

"Tell me something, Chef Li, how much hunger do you have in yourself that even one man doesn't seem enough to you. Don't you feel ugly looking at yourself in the mirror? Or do you …" Ning Meiling opened her mouth to add more dirt but before she could continue any more, Li Xue cut her off very sophistically, shaking her head in denial.

"Nope, Chef Ning. I don't find myself anywhere ugly. And how come you are calling me ugly now? Didn't you say I have charms to capture many hearts? If I have charms then how come I am ugly? Definitely, I'm not."

Ning Meiling was all dumbfounded with those words. Such confidence! Was the woman making fun of her with that attitude of hers? Or was none of her criticisms strong enough to make her tremble in her attitude?

Seeing Li Xue still standing in her initial stance, the woman was not feeling any peace. She wanted to break her down but none of her words even fazed her from her original confidence. Looking at her like that it felt like all her ugly statements were like praises for her.

For a second seeing her standing all righteously like that, she even felt herself to be wrong in accusing her of something this bad. But then again, how come what she has heard about her could be any wrong?

Definitely, she must be wrong like Wen Sying said or how else could she reach popularity so easily when all these years, she has to strive hard for it? Has to create fake stories for it.
