It was normal for the crowd to make their guesses and assumptions on any topic especially on those on which they have least knowledge. The people were very peculiar, gossiping about the couple, whom they have considered ideal for the world.
It has been an ideal story to talk about, a love story of a weak, fragile, pure and innocent not too rich princess and the tyrannical and powerful king. Just a perfect one, complimenting each other.
The story reached such a peak of perfection in everyone's heart that no one ever noticed that the man in question has never ever accepted the relationship in public. Even them being engaged wasn't confirmed or officially announced. It was all their pretty assumptions.
But who cares. No one. They find it very much amusing only to gossip about their assumptions on others.
This time too, getting an another spicy piece of news about the new girl in great CEO's life, everyone's mine were stormed with different guesses. Without even knowing the girl in the question, they started judging her character. Because to them, the person who seemed to suffer the most was their white lotus pure lady, Long Jie.
They were all busy when a thick tight resounding slap buzzed in everyone's ears. Instantly their gazed got fixed on the two ladies standing in the front.
Jie was holding her burning cheek firmly. She never expected that she would be receiving this kind of treatment and that too in front of so many people.
She shot a glare at Daiyu who have dared to slap her. "You ....how could you? Don't you know who I am?", she yelled.
"Do you think I care about your good for nothing identity. But still I do have some information about you since you know it's good to have some information about the disasters happening in the world, especially in one's own country ", Daiyu spoke lightly as if Jie's previous threat haven't changed even an ounce in her.
"Your name is Long Jie. A girl from nouveau rich family. You family has settled in abroad not too long ago, hardly three years I guess. You are now a days running a clothing brand in our country. Sorry but not so sorry because I don't remember that shit*y brand name. You are really good at leeching off the money of the infamous CEO Wand Deming, even your clothing studio run because of his name. And one thing in which no one can beat you off, that's being a pretentious stingy vixen", she continued to verbally harass her in detail.
"...", Jie couldn't help but bit her lower lip out of anger. Her fists were clenched hard digging her nails deep into her palm, only to make drops of blood to ooze out of her skin.
She could feel strange gazed of the people around her. Even some were doubting her character. She can't take this anymore. She had really worked hard to maintain her image in the outside world, not to get it ruined by anyone all at once.
She flung her hand in air catching Daiyu off-guard, to return back the slap which she has received just now and also the words with which she got insulted with.
Thinking of no way to dodge the slap, Daiyu could only close her eyes shut and wait for burning stinging pain to come. But after several seconds, she still didn't felt anything.
Fluttering her eye lashes a few time she opened her eyes only to find the raging eyes of Jie that were fixed on someone beside her. And her arms were held firmly in the air, restricting it to move it even an inch.
She too turned her head to look at the person who has saved her and became her savior just now, only to find the glowing nonchalance on her beautiful friend's face.
When she looked at her, Lifen gave wink to her as she reverted her gaze back to Jie. Her gaze was nonchalant but still held a power of dominance which wasn't common in everyone.
She jerked of her arm with a slight force which was enough to make her stumble. "Ms.Long do know how to create interesting stories? You will go higher if you opt this as your career. But your future now seems to be waste", she said as she shook her head in disdain.
"You?? You....when did you returned?", she asked in shock. Her presence, she has...she has just not expected it. With her here, everything will go wrong. Nothing will gonna be right.
Everything was already a mess and now she back to make everything more and more messier.
