Chapter 52 - This sort of "like" was beyond worthless (2)
The Yue's had rather distinct features and could be easily recognized. Who could have expected they would bring Yue Xia to the business banquet? Surrounded by three of the Yue's wearing solemn black formal outfits, Yue Xi looked like a dazzling sunflower.
Many people wanted their models to serve as inconspicuous clothes hangers in order to better showcase their clothing designs to the maximum effect, so they naturally had abnormally high standards for body shapes. However, Yue Xia's radiant appearance as she looked around could make people overlook her minor imperfections.
The editor-in-chief: "..."
Why did this dress look a bit familiar?
Isn't that their brand's foundational dress for the competition? Why had it transformed into such an expensive form? What happened?
Zhuang Xiaohan's face had turned ashen. She clenched the glass in her hand. Her breathing quickened from anxiety, and she could feel her heartbeat slowly speeding up.
Why did she come? How could she still dare to come?
Shouldn't she feel ashamed? Why couldn't she stay at home and be disdained by everyone?
The editor-in-chief returned to his senses and seemed to think Zhang Xiaohan's earlier words were very true. He gave her a puzzled look. "It's true. I wouldn't haven't viewed her that way if I had seen her in person."
Was there something wrong with Miss Xiaohan's mind? Why did she draw attention to her competitor?
***
This was Yue Xia's first time attending a serious social event.
She smiled at the people that greeted her and exuberantly handed business cards to the people that praised her dress. The other parties accepted the business cards in confusion. They thought it was hers, but the card only had three words printed in a big font size: "Designer: Jiang Shuyao".
Everyone: "..."
Girl, you're so strange.
If they remembered correctly, wasn't she and Jiang Shuyao competing over a man? Had their rivalry ended with a smile?
Or could it be that the gossip about them was wrong? Sure enough, the rumors were flying everywhere.
Zhuang Xiaohan lowered her head with a pale face. As she watched Yue Xia approaching her, her heart was frantically beating.
Don't come here, don't come here…
Yue Xia passed by her with a smile as if she was invisible.
Zhuang Xiaohan sighed in relief, but an inexplicable anger grew in her heart.
Why didn't she treat her seriously? Had she stopped caring because her reputation was at rock bottom? People who had been the other woman were different. Their psychological quality…
"Did you think I left?"
Yue Xia's calm voice came from above her head. Zhuang Xiaohan looked up with a trembling heart.
She had been persuading herself with the idea that she was a messenger and executioner of justice. However, at this moment, she discovered that she still had a guilty conscience.
Yue Xia was half a head taller than her. When she looked down at her, her eyes were pitch-black and cold.
"Do you need something?" Zhuang Xiaohan noticed the curious gazes around her and held her ground. "I don't know you very well."
"You can pour so much dirty water on me when you're not familiar with me," Yue Xia slowly said." Will you throw me into the frying pan if we are familiar?"
Yue Xia thought most girls weren't bad by nature, so she had given Zhuang Xiaohan two chances, but she wouldn't tolerate her without limits.
This was the last time. It was better to be quick and decisive and not give her room to make it even uglier in the future.
Zhuang Xiaohan: "Was anything I said wrong? If you want to deny it, then just clarify it. Why would you be anxious about it if you're innocent?"
Yue Xia didn't speak. She just quietly looked at her. After a long time, she smiled.
"The other woman, shameless flirt, throws herself at men, sl*t, ..."
Yue Xia slowly repeated her comments. "I've watched your videos. From beginning to end, you've used those words. You know, it's weird how you only comment on me. What about the man involved in this? Is he invisible?"
Zhuang Xiaohan was stunned. She didn't know what to say.
"I've thought for a long time why you dislike me. It probably started because I pursued him, was rejected by him, and didn't feel ashamed about it. I still openly went to various gatherings. In your opinion, to be a model woman, I should have stayed at home from then on to reflect on my wrongdoings with a tearful face. Am I right?"
"And then? Was it because Shen Yu asked you about me? Was it because Lin Shu seemed very interested in me? Or was it because you viewed that crew cut guy's repulsive words as a compliment? And you think I'm not worthy of those words?"
Yue Xia's voice wasn't loud, and her tone was relaxed, but Zhuang Xiaohan reacted as if her heart had been stabbed and retorted in a sharp voice, "What are you talking about?!"
Yue Xia stared at her until she looked away in embarrassment.
Sometimes, Yue Xia couldn't understand why so many people chased after this insignificant "like" from the opposite s*x, which carried contempt and ill intentions and could be indiscriminately sprayed onto anyone. This sort of "like" was beyond worthless. These people would even destroy themselves in pursuit of a scrap of false affection and start to have endless conflict with others and accumulate vicious tendencies.
"I can only say that not everyone is like you." Yue Xia turned and left behind the parting words, "I feel pity when I look at you."
Zhuang Xiaohan gritted her teeth. Her face was flushed, and she was digging her nails into her palms. She silently stood there for a long time.
