Chapter 322 – The_Sharpest_Arrow
"Li … Li Xue, there is nothing like that", Wen Sying stuttered, at once turning to look at Li Xue. Her expressions getting wrinkled in worry as if she was about to lose something that had been really hard for her to achieve.
Her eyes moved to look around the people sitting at different tables. All eyes were getting to look at her every now and then. To present them a normal self, her lips turned up but it was just not getting matched with her paled face expression.
"Li Xue, just don't …" She again tried to come up confident but lies rarely could keep coordination with confidence, especially when it was caught all red-handedly.
Her words also did not find its way out to come up her lips when suddenly caught the strained amber gaze at herself. Though Li Xue's brows were just raised with amusement, Wen Sying took that arc as some warning that was challenging her the most torturous defeat.
Realizing the worst consequences that her rebuttal could bring her, she simply sighed as she said, "How do you come to know? This … this …"
But before she could complete her words, her eyes got shut tight as her body flinched a little back in fear as she saw Li Xue lifting her hands up in the air.
"Did you think I would hit you? Haha … never! You know I am not a violent person. Why should I put my hands in pain when my words can serve well?" Li Xue chuckled, not able to hold it back inside, seeing her reaction.
The woman opened her eyes to look at her and then eyed her raised hand in confusion. Li Xue's smile deepened, "Ohh this''. She said as she trailed her eyes to follow Sying and then continued, "I was just checking your temperature. You are acting like I am about to hang you to death for backstabbing me and my trust".
"…", Lumps formed in Wen Sying throat as she did not know if Li Xue was just being sarcastic or was playing with the truth. "I just asked how did you find?"
Clicking her tongue lightly, Li Xue turned again to view back at the people and then brought her attention on Sying and said, "See, you again forgot my words. I just said that these tricks are no new to her. When you think to experiment something, just remember there would be someone who would have already mastered it."
Earlier when Li Xue was standing outside the Sweet Delicacy, she heard someone talk about receiving money in exchange for coming here as a fan of Wen Sying. Just this little spoiler was enough to make her imagine the whole plot of the story.
She would not have bothered to step in her play of gaining publicity as this mere act was very common in the industry and Wen Sying was just another model playing the same thing. But what compelled her to step up was the mention of her intention to visit the place.
Knowing what Sying has kept under her sleeves, how could Li Xue back down? Since she wanted to play tricks on her then she would let her know what level of the game she was up to play now.
Moving her fingers efficiently on her phone screen, she logged into her once lost but quite famous anonymous social media account. She was really grateful to her memory that it still remembered its login id and passwords. It was a side account that she has created to keep an eye on her wicked trollers, five years back.
Logging into account, she quickly made a post.
[The_Sharpest_Arrow: Heya fellas! Long time, no gossip. Sorry for staying away for this long time. But here I have brought a piece of interesting news for many of you, especially for my followers who are die-hard fans of trending fashion model Wen Sying.

As the post was made, likes and comments started seeping in. Since it was once a famous user id it soon grabbed everyone's attention. Not to overdo the things, she soon deleted the post. And just like that, her work was done.
Wen Sying was able to arrange just the count of only fifteen people paying their cost, so Li Xue helped her arrange fifteen more. Now that she has stepped up to help in hiring fans then how can she encourage biasness?
So to make the things fair, she made all preparation to make Sying pay for the next arriving real fans in the list, after all, they were still the real ones and should always be weighed higher than the fake.
When Li Xue finished her words, she did not wait and left her proximity at once. But there was still someone's prying eyes still following her movements. Those pairs of eyes were like this for a good moment of time.
"Such a tough acquaintance with someone like a fashion diva, Wen Sying? Chef Li definitely not have any simple background to ignore", Ning Meiling mumbled to herself as her eyes witnessed the defeated expression on beautiful model's face.
When she was about to get away, Mia came rushing out, "Ohh, Li Xue, finally you are here. I was …" She paused to look around. There was no more buzzing sound in the air.
"Did Wen Sying left?" She suddenly asked, not understanding the sudden calmness in the air.
Li Xue could only press her lips together and look at her with some strictness. When the young girl caught that look on Li Xue's face, she straightened her excited posture a little and asked, "What happened? Why are you looking so strict all of a sudden? Did I do something wrong?"
"Being one of the staff here, wasn't your responsibility to at least ask someone to look after these crowds?"
"Ohh that … Li Xue, we tried but it didn't help. I have even called Director Huo to inform him. He said he will send someone to look but before that could happen, everything settled on its own. That's why I came to ask if Wen Sying left?"
Li Xue looked at her for some time, pressing her strict gazed at her but then shook her head. "No, she hasn't" She paused gesturing in the direction where Wen Sying was standing and then continued, "She is treating her fans meal boxes here. So, go and inform the designated chef to prepare thirty counts of such boxes to serve".
When Wen Sying heard her mention this again, her mood only worsened while Mia was left in awe. Her eyes turned to stare the woman in admiration but felt there was something not right in those expressions. Like it was not holding an expression of happiness rather something like constipation.
Something was not right. She asked Li Xue again, "Thirty meal boxes, Li Xue?"
Li Xue radiantly nodded, "Yes, thirty boxes! Ms Wen is showing her beautiful and warm gratefulness for all the support she has received all this year. Go, ask the chef to prepare it fast".
The young girl nodded and moved to fulfil the request but was suddenly stopped by Li Xue. "Mia, wait! Add up one more box to that count and bill that on a separate cost under my name. Since Ms Wen has come here to meet me, saving her such precious time from her busy schedule. It will only be right for me to treat her a little better".
Mia was all taken aback. What does this mean that Ms Wen Sying was here to meet her? Didn't she say that she was here to meet a friend? Does that mean, Li Xue was that friend?
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Li Xue in horror but Li Xue did not mind her expression. She just winked at her and walked away, keeping all calmness in her expression.
