Indeed, Tang Liyan had been silent all this time, allowing Su Xiaofei to deal with the problem. She was impressed by how the younger woman was able to turn the situation to their advantage.
As she looked at the stylist, kneeling on the ground, asking for her forgiveness, a feeling she couldn't explain washed through Tang Liyan. It reminded her of several painful memories and how she had been a coward when she faced them.
If Su Xiaofei hadn't stepped up for her today, what would happen to her and her young assistant? She couldn't even protect Zhao Jingmei from being falsely accused by these people!
The more she thought about it, the more Tang Liyan felt angry. Angry not only to these horrible people, but also to herself. Did they think she was a pushover that could be easily bullied at their will?
Her mother took advantage of her for several years, her ex-husband repeatedly made her feel bad about herself to the point that she doubted her self-worth. If Su Xiaofei hadn't come and pulled her out of that hellhole, she couldn't even imagine what kind of life her Xiaoxiao would have had.
"Please, Miss Tang!" The stylist's hoarse voice brought her back from her deep thoughts.
She looked at the stylist's eyes, then turned her gaze to Su Xiaofei, who was also waiting for her answer. It wasn't that hard for her to understand that her manager wanted her to make a stand today.
Su Xiaofei was right. If they don't teach these people a lesson, they might commit more horrible offenses in the future that could harm not only her, but also those people around her.
"I'm not sorry for saying this, but you're old enough to know what you are doing. You should have considered the consequences of your actions when you decided to harass me and my assistant." She said with conviction, putting everyone in shock as they never thought that the meek and kind hearted Tang Liyan had chosen to send the two stylists to jail rather than to give them a chance.
Tang Liyan saw her beautiful manager smiling upon hearing her answer. It was clear that Su Xiaofei was satisfied with her choice this time.
She had Su Xiaofei by her side for the past five years and although her manager was considerably younger than her and other talent managers, Tang Liyan knew that her manager wasn't falling behind the others when it comes to skills. She used to think that she didn't deserve the title of a queen because Su Xiaofei deserved it more than her.
"Then it's decided." Su Xiaofei nodded. "We will leave these two under your care, honorable officers. Bluemedia would of course cooperate with you if there's anything else you need. I will give our legal counsel a call so he could represent our company and Miss Tang from today onwards."
The culprit passed out and lost her consciousness upon hearing Su Xiaofei's words. Meanwhile, her accomplice started to cry, insisting that she wasn't involved in it at all, but the police officers won't hear any of it and suggested that the woman call a lawyer to represent her instead because any words she said right now might be used against her.
The two were taken by the police with the help of hotel security personnel, leaving everyone on the edge except for Su Xiaofei's company.
She then looked at Liao Yang arrogantly once the police officers were gone. His face had turned pale since the culprit was revealed.
"Do you see now? You are so confident that none of your crew members would ever do such a horrendous thing." She scoffed before her eyes swept through the remaining crew members who couldn't even meet her gaze and would rather look at the ground than her.
"This isn't the end of this. I cannot believe that the whole photography crew was onto this, ganging up against my talent. Just who do you think you are?" She sneered at them. "I'll make sure that Bellissima will hear about this. Let's see if you would be able to scheme and hurt others once I'm done with you."
"Miss Su! Don't go overboard!" Liao Yang roared in anger. It was really a challenge for him not to stride towards this woman and beat the hell out of her. Every word that came out from her mouth made his blood rise in anger.
"Oh? I'm the one who's going overboard now? I don't remember ruining someone's property just because I'm bored. Mr. Liao, this only proves that you are a weak minded leader."
"What did you say?" Liao Yang couldn't stop himself this time and charged forward in blind rage at Su Xiaofei.
However, even before he could touch a single strand of her hair, he felt himself losing his ground and his back touching the hard ground before he screamed in agony. Liao Yang had never felt this kind of pain before and she couldn't believe that a woman like Zhang Lan had managed to easily throw him without breaking a sweat.
"My,my, so bold of you to think that you could attack me in broad daylight without facing any consequences." Su Xiaofei looked at Liao Yang, who was still writhing in pain on the ground. "More reasons for me to send everyone to hell."
Seeing that even their photographer couldn't have the last word with Su Xiaofei, the rest of the crew panicked.
"Miss Su, please spare us! We really didn't want to harm Tang Liyan."
"It was Miss Bai's manager who asked us to trouble Miss Tang during her photoshoot."
"Please, Miss Su. We admit our mistakes now. Can you please reconsider your decision?"
As they continued to come clean, one after another, a flash of disgust crossed Su Xiaofei's face. It reminded her of her foolishness from her previous life again.. Thinking of how everyone couldn't wait to get their chance to spite her really annoyed her even more.
