Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 877 - Won't Let Anyone Bully My People.

Yuan Yuan's fists curled up on her sides as suppressing her aggressiveness, she pressed a smile over her lips before beginning, "Sister Xue, it was just a small topic. It shouldn't have dragged on like this. It was just I wasn't able to take the insult she has done to me. Especially when what I asked for was a really small thing".

She said purposely highlighting her losses to remind everyone of it again. And her move worked as well because hearing her say that again, people around her started to sympathize with her, sending poking gazes to Xiao Meng.

"That was really bad of her, Yuan Yuan. I never knew she was like that." Li Xue said drawing some suspicion but then shaking her head, denied it. "No, no, I am not saying that I don't believe you. I believe you but given her attitude towards me, it's just a bit hard for me to accept. Can you tell me specifically the request you made to her?"

"Sister Xue, do you think I will …"

"Enough, Yuan Yuan, don't drag the things. I still have to reach somewhere. Finish the things fast, so that I can leave. Li Xue's question is simple, just answer her fast." Su Fai was growing a headache already and it was hard for him to sustain it for longer. Furthermore, he also knew the more the model will try to hang heavy on the process, the worse way Li Xue will be ending her game. And he feared a crying woman running after him for help.

Yuan Yuan was silenced at once. The sternness in the voice of Su Fai was enough to make her lose the hope of favor that she was expecting from him. Did she measure the depth of the stream wrong?

"Yuan Yuan, even I am in a hurry. Can you please make it quick?" Li Xue probed and her askance like this only jolted the woman out from her fantasy thoughts.

"Sister Xue, I have just asked her to leave for her work without wasting her time dilly-dallying here and there. But she …"

"Wait! What did you say?" Li Xue interrupted suddenly with a tone of disbelief. Her figure turned properly to face the model while her facial features wrinkled with some confusion. "Dilly-dallying here and there? As far as I remember, I went in after giving work to her. Was she not doing that?" She asked as if she was the teacher who had come out of her class period to ask the class monitor about the disobedient children.

Then turning to look over her shoulder she asked the same from Xiao Meng as well. "Meng Meng, were you not working on that job I gave to you?"

The young assistant shook her head instantly denying the charges on her. "Nope, Sister Xue, I was working on the job you have given me. I was taking care of Mr. Du."

"Then why is Ms. Yuan saying that you were not working and were just dilly-dallying here and there? Are you lying to me or …" Li Xue spoke disappointedly, pausing in her words before prickly turning to look back at the model, "Or is it, Yuan Yuan, you misunderstood it again"

"…" The model didn't know what to say at the sharp accusation that had come in the veil of sweetness. She has tried her best to keep everything in her favor, but little did she expect Li Xue to turn everything around. Has she been here looking at them all the time? Or how else was she so sure of the things that have happened in actuality?

When Li Xue turned back to question Yuan Yuan; Xiao Meng, standing behind did not miss her chance to explain. Quickly taking a step ahead, she spoke, explaining the happenings in the briefest. "Sister Xue, as you have asked I was taking care of Mr. Du here. But then Ms. Yuan care for her friends and asked me to introduce her to Mr. Du. When I introduced her to him briefly, she started acting weirdly with him" ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

"I tried to stop her but then she pushed me on the floor and also insulted me about my looks and work. I tried my best to remain polite with her. But she forced me to be like her in the worst. I am sorry that I overstepped my boundary but believe me, she was the one who started it."

She said looking at everyone and like it was only then people around remembered the real happening from before. Between their entertainment, they almost seemed to forget the real sequences that happened.

Li Xue kept her eyes still on the model but heard every word that Xiao Meng had said. She did not doubt her words. From the earlier sequence, she has witnessed, she had already pictured the happenings she has missed.

"Yuan Yuan, how come Xiao Meng's explanation differs from yours? Is she lying again?" Li Xue purposely asked, pausing for a bit and then continuing again, "Did you really behave absurdly with my driver and pushed my assistant on the floor?"

"S-Sister Xue, you believe her because she is your assistant. But let me tell you she is lying and I …" Yuan Yuan was in the middle of her words but Li Xue halted her, interrupting her words by shaking her head with denial.

"Definitely not, dear. I said earlier that I will remain unbiased. How can I dare to go back on my words? How about checking the CCTV footage here? I am sure the happening must have been recorded well with the audio. We can watch that and decide on the punishments. After all, not only violation of rules but also physical assault are punishable. You know that, right" Li Xue said and in her words, the warning was all clear, letting her know that she won't be left off easily.

Cold sweat beads formed on the forehead of the model as she looked at Li Xue turning to ask the CEO for permission, which was not too hard to get.

"CEO Su, …" Li Xue began, but before she could say more from the side the model accepted her wrongs out of fear.

"I was wrong, Sister Xue. Forgive me. I should not have behaved like that. But it was just that your assistant blatantly denied my words. So …" She said, downing her eyes on the floor.

But to her words of regret, Li Xue just snapped. "If you have forgotten, let me remind you, Ms. Yuan, Xiao Meng is my assistant. She is obliged to do the job for me, not for you. You don't get a say to order her or punish her. Furthermore, what she said earlier was right. She won't get compared with you on the same scale. Not because she is less beautiful than you, but because you can't match her work conduct and talent.".

"Sister Xue, you …"

"What? Do you have something to say? Sorry, I don't have time for that." Li Xue snapped fiercely, before turning to face everyone. "You harassed both my driver and also my assistant. I don't want to go easy on it. I hope CEO Su knows the way to handle it, or else I would have no other choice but to file a complaint against you for the compensation. I will never let my people get bullied unnecessarily."
