Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue was soon at the podium. Her eyes looked down for some time and everyone almost thought that she was standing there in embarrassment, regretting her decision to join back the industry. Maybe it was only after their mention that she got to know how impossible path she has chosen for herself.

The reporters really pitied her but just the moment they thought to bring up some words in consolation, they saw Li Xue slowly and slowly looking up to match every pair of eyes. Her eyes and aura still holding the confidence and righteousness, she was having all the while she was sitting on the stage. It only meant one thing – regret was something that was still not in her attitude.

"Good evening, everyone! It's good to see you all here" Li Xue greeted with a smile but her smile was a mystery for every pair of eyes, that was not any easy to comprehend.

"Ms. Li Xue, we would like to ask how sure are you about …" being a little impatient and nervous, the reporter who had previously stood up to say things started again but before he could proceed his impatience, he paused.

"I know there are many questions you all have to ask. But please not forget I only have one mouth to answer. Please show some patience, so that I can answer everything". Li Xue spoke in a moderately serious tone that reined in every whisper and murmurs in the air.

The journalist sat back with some disappointment but waited to hear what the woman was there to say.

Li Xue looked around as she slowly began. "As you all said, I am really not sure. I am not confident if I could really survive the decision I have taken. I am not certain if this industry or the people will really accept me the same as it has accepted me five years back. But I am still here to give it a try, to take the chance of opportunity that I am still hopeful of. And please don't think that try of mine is on my fate. Nope, it isn't. I just want to see how much the people could serve justice. Five years back, they had made me leave the industry saying I did not deserve it. Now, I want to see what they could do after actually finding me innocent".

The people were stunned at her words. They had nothing to say. No one was new to the things that happened with the woman five years ago. That was a tale everyone had heard. They have all witnessed the cruelty she had been shown by the netizens. But even after knowing all this they had never thought that she would be so blatant with her words. After all, netizens were still people whose support was needed to rise, and being rude and arrogant to them will only work in the against side.

"Ms. Li Xue, are you putting up a challenge for the netizens? Don't you feel this kind of attitude will only provoke them and might go against you?" Someone again stood up to ask. His intention clearly looked neutral, neither to harm Li Xue nor to favor her.

Li Xue smiled at that attitude of the man. That was such a journalistic way to question. She must say some professions never change. Shaking her head, she denied, "Nope, I am not putting any challenge for the people. I am just testing the righteousness that people showed to me five years back. I just want to see how efficient and powerful they still are in the country. And it's not just about them, it's also about our talented journalist too. After all, you people also have got the power to end anyone's career in just a night."

She said and everyone instantly understood the play she had played on the board. Li Xue was out to play the board game making real lives as her pawns and one can see how skillful she was in the game.

The journalists really felt like they could no longer deal more. It seemed like the more they say, the more they were getting involved in the game. To some extent, they didn't find that wrong. After Li Xue's words they felt like they were also to be blamed, after all, that scandal that was conspired five years back against her, had got a great role of media writers as well.

So, feeling apologetic, some stood up, nodded and said, "We got to understand things more clearer with your words Ms. Li Xue. Thank you, we will note it from the next time". Though those words seemed simple, the meaning and promise behind it was some more intense that didn't come on the surface, but people could feel well behind.

Li Xue smiled understanding well and turned to get down the podium but just then, someone asked, "Ms. Li Xue, please wait a moment. We still have a question to ask". She paused to turn back. The smile, not wavering from her features. "Yes, please!"

"It's about Lawyer Liu. Can you tell us what made the company allot you such a capable lawyer?" That question was something everyone was waiting for but had almost forgotten in the middle of everything.

Lin Xinyi was slightly troubled by that question. Though none of her prepared questions was asked from Li Xue, still not being asked is another thing and not being able to give the answer is another thing. She turned her head to look at Li Xue only to find her still smiling. It felt strange. Did the girl already have the answer ready? Her smile said that to be right.

"Some decisions are only for the Boss to make? We, the small members, don't have much to say in it." Li Xue spoke with a mysterious pull of her lips that almost put everyone in daze. Taking their daze as her opportunity, she got to the podium and went back to her seat. While the PR Head, Liang Cheng made his way to the center.

"Okay, then this will be the end of today's press conference. In future, we will keep everyone updated. Li Xue is officially declared to be a model under Glamour World now and Lin Xinyi as her manager, who would be responsible for all her public affairs. We hope with these two new members in the team, we Glamour World will soon step up more stairs of success!"

The journalists were not satisfied. Though there were not too many questions they asked, they still got many selling headlines to write on their news.

Back inside the office, just after getting the chance, Li Xue made her way to find Su Fai in the office. Knocking at the door before, she pushed it open and went in to ask in a very serious and warning tone that only warned Su Fai to be serious and honest with his words.

"CEO Su, what was that video all about? If I am not wrong that was not in our plans and neither was there in our resources. So, what and where was it from?"
