Li Wenyi looked at Song Yan before she whispered, " please play along with me a little here, sister in law."
Song Yan's gaze flickered as her eyes widened slightly but she still understood that Li Wenyi was in a situation where she needed her help which was why she nodded and then agreed to her suggestion. It wasn't as if she was not going to lose anything if she was to agree to play along with Li Wenyi.
Seeing that Song Yan agreed with her, Li Wenyi heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that her second sister-in-law was rather busy with other things as well, which was why she was worried that her second sister in law will refuse her but when she saw that she was willing to agree with her, Li Wenyi suddenly felt grateful to have such an understanding sister in law along with her being beautiful.
After everything was decided Li Wenyi walked over to the reception area where Chen Xi and a man who was most likely Chen Xi's assistant were sitting on the couch with two cups of tea in front of them but neither of them take a single sip of the tea.
Song Yan turned her gaze to look at Chen Xi and her eyes glanced at Chen Xi who was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed in front of her. When she was looking at Chen Xi, she was not able to see anything that would show that this woman was a harbinger of trouble, her soul was right where it was supposed to be and there was nothing amiss either. She pursed her lips before she turned to look at the man who was sitting on the side of Chen Xi and just like Chen Xi, he too looked completely normal other than the fact that his complexion was rather pale and unhealthy like he was slowly dying the man looked completely fine.
And from what she could see, the man wasn't going to die anytime soon.
While Song Yan was looking at Chen Xi, Chen Xi was looking at Song Yan as well. She looked at the woman who suddenly popped out of nowhere, her eyes drilled into Song Yan's beautiful face and she dug her fingernails into her skin, she was someone who believed that she was the most beautiful but now that she was looking at Song Yan who looked like she has walked out of an ethereal portrait, she realised that she was thinking too much.
That she was a small frog in a well who did not see anything in the world.
Song Yan sensed the gaze that was locked on her and she turned to look at Chen Xi whose eyes were glaring at her with a green hue in them like she was envious of her and her eyebrows creased slightly.
" So, why are you here?" Li Wenyi was the one who broke the tension that was rising between Song Yan and Chen Xi. She protectively stood in front of Song Yan showing her stance that no one was allowed to disrespect Song Yan or anyone either in her presence. " Did I not tell you that the contract is not going to be renewed, I wanted Chu Rin to be my model but instead of sending her you have sent her, there is no way that she will be able to become the face of my company."
The man who was Chen Xi's assistant smiled greasily and then rubbed his hands against each other as he looked at Chen Xi before turning to glance at Li Wenyi. " Miss Li, I am here because I think that even though you are not willing to accept Miss Chen, I think that you should take a step back and compromise a little."
" Compromise?" Li Wenyi was a woman who grew up not knowing what compromise meant when it came to others who meant nothing to her at all. " Are you going to talk about compromise after spreading all sorts of rumours in society? Do you think that I am just a pretty face who can only draw clothes? I am the face behind this company if I want then I can always find who was behind the rumours, did you think that I wouldn't find out anything just because the person you sent was a small worker of your company?"
Her words caused the smile on the assistant's face to stiffen as he looked at Li Wenyi who was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. He turned to glance at Chen Xi who shrugged casually as if she did not know what Li Wenyi was talking about but from the gaze with which the assistant was looking at her, Song Yan knew that the assistant knew that the person who was behind this matter was none other than Chen Xi.
But even then he turned to look at Li Wenyi with a smile and then hurriedly advised Li Wenyi. " I know that we seemed to have reached a rather bad situation but as long as you agree with this contract signing then I assure you that nothing will go wrong for you. The company will take care of the rumours as for Miss Chen, you can take care of her as well, Miss Li."
" There is no need," Li Wenyi stiffly replied as she looked at the assistant with a slight glance before she turned to look at Chen Xi. " I don't think that I need to work with someone who goes around and backstabs me when I am not looking." She then turned to look at Song Yan before looping her arm with Song Yan as she pulled her in front. " I have already looked for a model as you can see, I don't need to look for another one anymore."
She tipped her chin haughtily and then smiled arrogantly at Chen Xi. " As you can see, she is much more beautiful than your model."
