Chapter 291 - For my husband and our baby

Ming Rui lost all the evil smiles that were on her face just a second ago. She tried to find words to get away.

"I wish to play with you but I really don't have the time. I have a lot of things to do. Why don't you find a fellow barbie to play with?"

Wan Jia squinted her eyes. "I see. Fortunately I have a lot of free time. How about we do a live stream when you are not busy? Surely Designer Ming can spare just a few minutes for that?"

Before she could retaliate, Wan Jia pushed her to a tight spot. "You can just take it as part of our job. Those drafts won't go to waste, right?"

"I…"

"If you insist on not doing it, those who don't know might think that you are one of those designers who use their assistants to gain reputation. Surely you wouldn't want those people who love your designs to start misunderstanding you, would you?" at first, Wan Jia was not sure about it. She was only trying to enrage her but now it seemed like…she had hit the nail on the head.

Ming Rui cursed. Damned woman! She was totally using the reporter's words against her. She could only bite her lips because people were starting to watch. "Okay."

She would just bluff her way out. That Wan Jia! After surviving this, she would kill her!

Unfortunately, Wan Jia was not going to let her bluff her way. After all, if she didn't manage to turn the situation around, she was the one whose reputation would go to the dogs. Not only would it impact negatively on her career, Lu Aotian and the company would be affected too.

Wan Jia knew what she was thinking. "Our assistants are not allowed to be within the vicinity."

Ming Rui frowned. With no choice left, she could only agree. The two women found a room and sat a few steps apart. When Ming Rui saw Wan Jia sit a distance from her, her plan of copying her work shattered.

"I will let Designer Ming choose the theme." Wan Jia smiled.

"No need. Let it be freestyle." She sounded confident.

But, several minutes into the starting time, she still held her pen and stared into space. "I don't have any inspiration. How about we postpone this?"

"Pfft!" an onlooker laughed. What a lame excuse.

Wan Jia, on the other hand, drew two new drafts on the spot. A male one and a little female one. "I'm done. My theme is "Love." There are only two outfits in the series." She explained everything about her theme in detail.

"I was among the first people to see these beautiful outfits! I feel so lucky."

"Designer Wan, who are these outfits for?"

"For my husband and our baby. They would look like showstoppers in this." She smiled at a certain direction.

From the direction she had smiled, Lu Aotian walked towards her. He had been watching the show all along. He had wanted to stand up for her but his little wife signaled to him that she wanted to handle this little matter on her own. She had handled it perfectly. He walked up to her and took her hand. "My wife, it's time to go home."

Wan Jia hooked her hand with his. "Let's go, husband."

Before they left, Lu Aotian glanced in a certain direction. "For slandering the lady boss of Lu Enterprises, Ming Rui will receive a letter from my lawyer shortly.

She has also gone against the work policy and spread false rumors about her colleagues. Apart from that, investigation has been done and there is sufficient evidence that she is a fraud. EFW does not need such people to tarnish its reputation. She has been dismissed and will be required to pay the compensation for all the damage caused."

Lu Aotian had spoken very many words at the same time and they all felt like knives cutting into her heart.

She immediately retaliated. "President Lu, you cannot fire me. I have friends from the Yan family. You can't afford to offend the Yan family, right?"

Yan Xue and her sister were in the crowd. Yan Xue immediately shot Ming Rui a glare. "How dare you use our Yan family's name to protect yourself? Who are you anyway?"

She turned to her sister. "Sis, do you know this woman?"

"I don't know who she is either."

"…"

Ming Rui was baffled. They had denied all their relations, just like that. What happened to their friendship?

Meanwhile, Lu Aotian had a pinch of anger hidden in his eyes. Those two women from the Yan family! He didn't care about the elder sister because she was just a useless woman who thought that the world belonged to her. She would be destroyed along with the Yan family when that time came."

But that Yan Xue…she dared to wrong his brother. She almost made the relationship between Shaoting and his father go stale… It might sound like a small matter to others but he didn't allow anyone to bully his brother in the slightest. They would pay for it even if it was just a little scratch.

He would not let her off. It would be her turn really soon.

Before they got into the car, Lu Aotian stepped aside to make a phone call.

"I want to know each of Yan Xue's activities of the last week of October."
