Chapter 233 - Framed

Chapter 233 Framed

Tang Xia stood in the middle of the crowd. At the moment, she had a fresh haircut and her hair was sleek and clean. She was also wearing a dashing suit that made her look just like a live-streamer.

It seemed as if Tang Xia had been born to be a dazzling star, a celebrity many people looked up to. The chic vibe that she gave off from head to toe was very different from her usual gentle self. One could say that she was like a bright pearl that had been dusted off.

The people around her were shocked and full of admiration. All of them seemed to be unable to close their mouths. “Oh my god, is this Tangxia?”

The girl beside her rebutted, “What are you talking about? Tang Xia has always been this beautiful!”

“She’s so gorgeous!”

July looked at the people around her, who were fangirling over Tang Xia. Although she was feeling very happy, she also felt a hint of pride. This is my artist!

However, the situation was slightly out of control. She stomped over in her heels, yet the crisp sound went unnoticed.

She deliberately coughed loudly. “Do you guys have nothing to do? Why are you standing around Tang Xia? Is there a flower growing on her face?”

The crowd was dumbfounded as it turned to look at July’s direction uniformly. Instantly, everyone turned away and left at the same time to get back to their own work.

Tang Xia smiled vibrantly at July while July replied by knocking on her forehead sternly. “Why are you smiling like this? Don’t you know that you’re late?”

Tang Xia instantly became obedient and let July drag her to her office. July threw her into the room and turned around to slam the door shut loudly. Upon hearing the loud bang, Tang Xia trembled a little. She waited for July to explode.

However, just as she thought that July was going to tear her into pieces, she suddenly heard a joyous cheer. Then, July approached her and gave her a hug. She might as well have picked her up and twirled her in circles. “Your idea is amazing! We should have done that earlier!”

Tang Xia, who was shocked by her sudden actions, quickly realized what was going on. She only wanted to laugh. This guy is exaggerating!

After the excitement was over, the duo sat down on the sofa, looking at each other. July felt increasingly satisfied with Tang Xia’s hairstyle as she looked at it.

“Let me organize a fan meeting for you this weekend!”

“The fans must take a look at this dashing hairstyle and outfit! You can also boost your recognition rate and beat Li Xianxian completely during the broadcast.”

Tang Xia simmered for a while. After careful consideration, she agreed.

Very soon, the weekend came. Backstage, the makeup artist rummaged through the items and picked out the good stuff for her. After all, the makeup artist was also very satisfied with how Tang Xia had styled herself and her hair.

Tang Xia looked at her phone in her hand and heaved a sigh of relief gently. Luckily, she still had many fans who supported her on Weibo. At least one person would turn up.

After getting ready, she walked slowly to the front of the function room. Her fans were waiting behind this door! She took a deep breath. Actually, at this very moment, she felt very nervous. However… when she pushed the door open, she froze instantly.

She had never thought that she would have so many fans. At the moment, she felt very loved. Upon seeing Tang Xia dressed as nicely as she did in the broadcast, the fans burst into squeals and started fangirling without caring that they were in public. “Wow! So gorgeous!”

Tang Xia waved at them, feeling a little embarrassed, and immediately caused a huge uproar. Behind her, July was a little dissatisfied. “Don’t over-interact with them. Just a little attention will do.”

After all, only people that were hard to get close to would ignite in one the desire to get closer. Tang Xia nodded. The bodyguards guided her in and then she slowly took her seat. “Hello, everyone. I’m Tang Xia…”

Upon hearing Tang Xia’s introduction, the whole place blew up again. Tang Xia suddenly felt overwhelmed. Then, the door opened up out of the blue.

Tang Xia was confused. Was this a segment prepared by July? She suddenly turned around as she wondered. July could not help but roll her eyes at her. “Why would I prepare a segment for a fan meeting? Even if there was a segment, you would be the one performing!”

Tang Xia thought about it and realized that she was right. The moment she turned her head to see what was going on, she saw a bunch of people dashing into the room suddenly.

Tang Xia and July were shocked. Even the audience did not have any time to react. A series of screams were heard before Tang Xia stood up immediately.

Everyone in the group was holding onto a bucket of paint. There were all sorts of colors around. Immediately, they dashed towards Tang Xia’s fans and poured the paint on whoever they saw.

July looked lost, and Tang Xia had yet to realize what was going on. When she finally did, she ran straight toward them.

However, those people’s target was not just Tang Xia’s fans, but also Tang Xia herself. When they saw Tang Xia dashing towards them, how could they just sit and wait?

Several of them ran towards Tang Xia with the paint in hand and splashed it on her without saying anything.

Tang Xia, who could already sense what was going on, took off her jacket to block the paint. Although her face was safe, a large part of her body was inevitably coated with paint. “Seriously…”

She could not help but become vulgar as she turned around and shouted at the security guards. “Why are you not catching them?”

The security guards then realized what was going on and immediately rushed forward to stop these people.

Upon seeing a group of people still splashing paint at her female fans, Tang Xia dashed over and used her jacket to shield them. The female fans had obviously yet to realize what was going on. When they saw Tang Xia standing in front of them, they screamed excitedly. Was this boyfriend energy?

The security guards quickly gained control over the situation. After all, they had not been hired for no reason. Tang Xia glared at the row of people that were caught. “Take them to the police station!”

She did not want to look at them right now, in case she could not control herself and she ended up beating them up. “This harmonious society saved you.”

The people who had been caught heard her words and snorted instantly. Tang Xia did not want to bother. Let them wait for the police car to come and take them away!

Since the situation had been controlled just in time, only a few people had been splashed with paint. Tang Xia’s assistant, who stood aside, could not help quickly stepping forward to pass a towel to her. However, Tang Xia passed the towel to her fans instead, who were so touched that they did not know what to say.

Tang Xia turned around and got back on the stage. She picked up the microphone and said, “I’m very sorry that something like this happened during my fan meeting. I am truly sorry.”

She then bowed down respectfully, leaving her fans dumbfounded. She stood back up slowly and added, “I don’t know who they are or why they wanted to hurt my fans.”

“I will definitely investigate this matter and give all of you, as well as myself, a satisfactory answer.” She turned around and said something to July, who nodded silent. She then turned around and ordered someone else.

“I will get someone to write down the names and contact numbers of those of you who were splashed with paint. I will buy you all a whole new outfit as a form of apology. I only ask all of you to please forgive us for the inconvenience caused.”

Instantly, the big crowd suddenly burst into cheers. She heard a widespread gasp of disbelief amid the cheers.

However, that was not the end. Tang Xia turned around again to give an order. Then, she turned back to the fans and added, “You must tell us even if you have just a small stain!”

“I also prepared a small gift for everyone in order to compensate you for the shock. After all, all of you must have gotten quite a shock.”

“We are okay!”

“Tang Xia, we love you!”

“…”

When she vaguely heard the cheers of the crowd, Tang Xia’s face broke into a small smile.

Indeed, Tang Xia’s attitude was currently very sincere. She was a victim herself, yet she had protected her fans really well and even compensated them. At the moment, the fans felt that liking Tang Xia had been the right decision!

Furthermore, Tang Xia had the biggest amount of paint on her body, yet she had not grumbled once or thrown a big tantrum. There were not much people with such a temperament.

“Thank you, everyone. Thank you.”

Tang Xia could not help but keep thanking them. As she faced so many people who liked her and understood her so well, it was difficult not to be touched.

However, while everyone was submerged in this sentimental feeling, a sudden proclamation gave everyone a big shock. The group of people who had caused a scene earlier suddenly shouted loudly, “Tang Xia is a b*tch! Li Xianxian is the number one female streamer!”

Suddenly, the entire venue went silent. Everyone was dumbfounded. Tang Xia also turned to look at them. The security guards were holding them down. They had already been caught, yet they were still misbehaving.

July gave the security guards a look. They immediately turned around and led them down. The crowd started to burst into an uproar, and everyone began talking with each other. “Seriously, they are just straight-up telling everyone that Li Xianxian sent them!”

“Exactly! Li Xianxian was like that in the broadcast too. Seriously, who is the real b*tch?”

“Tang Xia, don’t be afraid! We love you!”

“…”

When everything was already taken care of, Tang Xia was too busy to even change out of her clothes. Thus, she drove home directly. When she opened her room with the key, she was so exhausted that she just leaned against the door.

She realized that she did not even have the strength to change out of her clothes or take a shower. She stood up slowly. No matter what, she had to change out of her clothes and wash her body. She could not stand the smell of the paint on her body anymore.

When she came out of the bathroom, she gently wiped away the beads of water on her hair. Indeed, she felt more relaxed after taking a shower. Just as she was about to grab a drink and sit on the sofa, her phone started to ring.

Tang Xia frowned. She could not help but be suspicious. Who could be calling her at this hour? When she walked over, she was shocked by what she saw. There were more than 10 missed calls, all from July. She immediately picked up the call. “What’s the matter?”

Tang Xia was dumbfounded. She wanted to know what had happened that had caused her to call her so many times. She only heard someone exclaim on the other end of the line anxiously, “Take a look at Weibo now!”

Tang Xia was just about to say something, when the line got cut off. She opened Weibo in confusion and instantly almost dropped her phone.

Her feed was full of stories that claimed she had directed her own show to make herself look pitiful and then blame it on Li Xianxian…
