Chapter 324 – Arrogance Created Out From One’s Own Personality.
Li Xue looked at Mia and for the first time, she thought that the bubbliness of the girl also had some deep story behind. She could see her recital halting with some hesitation, but she didn't think it was right to probe it any further.
"Oh, I see. Our girl does not follow any other's fashion style. So do you have your own style?" Li Xue easily diverted the conversation somewhere else, helping the girl from escaping the thoughts she was running from or keeping secretive at the back of her mind.
Mia's bubbliness came back as she heard Li Xue's question. Shrugging her shoulders a little back, she said, "I guess I follow comfortable fashion. Someone once said to me that fashion is all about comfort, so if one is following his or her own comfort then he or she is fashionable". As she said her eyes shined with someone's remembrance.
Li Xue looked at her and nodded. There was some sense of familiarity in those words but she just could not point it out yet. "Okay, I understood. Now you should get back to your work too. Our team is running slow. And aye …" she paused as she turned around to look for someone but …
"Where is this boy? Chen Yujian has not come yet?" Li Xue asked when did not find him present yet at his designated place.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Brother Chen will not be coming today. Earlier he had called to inform that he will be taking a leave today. He said it's for some personal reasons" Mia informed.
Li Xue pondered for some time but nodded. "Okay then let's move to work. We will let him take the extra work tomorrow". Mia nodded with a smile and then quickly scrambled herself back to work.
Outside, Wen Sying could only grit her teeth. She was fuming inside but with so many people surrounding her, she just could not let her internal feeling surface her expressions on the surface.
"Da – Xia, help me transfer fifty thousand dollars to my account. I need them urgently" She said on the call, occasionally biting down the skin of the insides of her mouth.
"Fifty thousand dollars? I can't transfer them any quick, Sying. That's too much. Why do you need such a big amount suddenly? As far as I have kept an account, all your grooming procedures for this month have already been done on the expenses of the agency so why sudd …"
The little manager on the other side of the call said in a somewhat concerned voice but before her words could get completed, Sying boomed from the other side, "So I need to tell you where I would spend my money? I just asked you to transfer the money so do it at once. For the rest you don't have to question me".
"But Sying so much of money is not possible. Superiors will ask me, so what would I put the reason in front of them. And not to forget, things have just started to go nice again. What if your … sorry I mean our one wrong move ruins it all" Da – Xia tried to explain but it only received a crude hmph from the other side and the next moment, the call was disconnected.
Wen Sying no more knew what else she could do in a situation like this. Her debit cards had no cash and credit cards had already reached their limits. And the money she had with herself was all used up to hire people for today's play. She never knew that at the end of the game, she would trap herself in her own set trapping net and would become a laughing stock in front of Li Xue.
For a moment, her fingers moved to call Wenting asking his help but the call did not get connected. "Aishhh … Why am I so pitiful at the end of the day? Can't I be just a little more arrogant like Li Xue for once in my life", she said to herself but a voice answered her from behind.
"No, you can never be like me, Ms Wen" It was Li Xue. She has come with a well-packed box in her hands. She would not have cared to come and give it by herself but she still believed that guests should be treated well and she has already accepted before that Wen Sying has come to visit her.
"You just can't afford the arrogance I carry with myself. You know why? Because that's something I have created out of myself, and have not built upon other's strengths and money. When you create something on your own strength you can hold your confidence in it. But if your attitude has the base form of someone else's strength and power, you always have to rely on others, and would always have to look for others. Hence, you can just not be like me"
Li Xue said, as she took her steps to the table and kept the meal box on it. "Here, I treat you to this meal box. It's solely paid out from my hard-earned money, so you can enjoy it well and think about my words. And I hope after this you will not come up again to meddle in my life. Believe me, I don't hold any reasons to put you at a loss until you pull me into something".
She said again with a soft smile as she turned away to walk off. But her steps paused when heard Wen Sying words from behind, "Li Xue, do you really have to be this sadistic. I have just come here to show my happiness to you. To let you know how happy I am seeing you getting back in the industry. But you are treating me like I am some of your rival or enemy".
"…" Li Xue could only scoff at those words. Though Li Xue has never pointed it back, she has always known it. But was there any use of saying this to her? Some people would just not understand the things even if you put your whole life and strength in letting them understand.
Not like Li Xue had nothing to say in front of her but it was more like she was no more interested to waste her words. "Thank you for showing your happiness for me but I am really sorry I don't need fake people around me"
"Li Xue …"
"I still have work to complete. Will not be able to entertain you anymore!" Li Xue said and walked off, leaving Wen Sying tongue-tied.
