Chapter 28 Slap in the Face! Ruthlessly Abused! He Held Her Hand!
"No! There must be some misunderstanding! Sir, you can't treat me like this! Why can Xia Mian be the final model in the show, while I can only be blacklisted! This is not fair!" Lu Lian'er's mind was in a mess; something must have gone wrong.
She's so beautiful and elegant, and she's also a direct-entry student to Mingcheng University!
Xia Mian only deserves to be trampled under her feet, only deserves to be her foot-washing maid, only deserves to look up to her!
She couldn't accept this drop in status.
What Xia Qingfeng and Lu Lian'er found even more unbelievable was that the masked man who walked the runway with Xia Mian was being fawned over by Cedric. Who exactly was he?
Isn't he just an ordinary model?
Lu Lian'er looked at Cedric through teary eyes, her voice choked with emotion, "I've always been a loyal customer of the LX brand! Your abandonment of me is a great loss for you."
"Just because you're a loyal customer, does that mean you have to wear a dress that's three seasons past? Miss, if I may be so bold, that orange-red dress you're wearing is from two years ago!"
Lan Xinbing bluntly exposed Lu Lian'er's lies.
"This style wasn't a main style; it was just a ready-to-wear garment. And it was the cheapest, highest-volume style back then."
It's quite rare to see a customer wearing a two-year-old model to an LX brand fashion show.
It's clear that Lu Lian'er doesn't have the financial means to buy LX's new products, so... she couldn't possibly be a high-end customer of LX.
Lu Lian'er's face flushed red and then turned pale; she was extremely embarrassed!
She bit her lip, "But I have a heart that loves and supports the LX brand!"
Xia Mian stood not far away watching Lu Lian'er's performance, feeling that she was just a clown.
Clearly, Lu Lian'er thought that once she left the Xia family, everyone in the world would be as blind and insensitive as the Xia family, revolving around her.
And they really fall for her act of being a hypocrite, a green tea bitch, crying and pretending to be weak and pitiful.
"The LX brand only appreciates customers like Ms. Xia Mian, who can perfectly embody LX's fashion sense and are also top-tier VIP diamond clients. So, Ms. Lu, how can LX be said to have lost you? It's you... you who have lost the LX brand, and that's a huge loss for you!"
Lan Xinbing's needles were sharp and incisive, causing Lu Lian'er's heart to ache terribly.
It looked like she had been stripped naked and was standing there bare backstage.
The gazes of countless models and staff members seemed to pierce through her like sharp swords.
Her cheeks stung, as if Lan Xinbing had slapped her several times from a distance.
Finally, she could no longer bear the humiliation, covered her face, and ran away crying.
Seeing Lu Lian'er leave in tears, Xia Qingfeng's face darkened with anger. He pointed at Xia Mian and cursed, "Xia Mian, are you happy now? All you do is bully your sister! I'll settle the score with you later!"
Xia Mian stood with her back straight, expressionless, watching the brother and sister leave, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
He said to someone present, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of everyone. I severed ties with the Xia family a long time ago, but they still can't shake their habit of targeting me."
“Miss Xia Mian, we can all see that your sister and brother…” Cedric pointed to his head, “there might be something wrong here.”
“Yes, yes! That girl’s green tea smell is so strong that even if you wash in the Yellow River for three days, you still won’t get it clean.” Zhao Baoqi strongly supported her best friend.
Lan Xinbing smiled and said to everyone present, "Aren't we going to a celebration banquet? Miss Xia Mian is our great hero, I have to toast her properly!"
"Let's go! Let's go! That's right!"
"Oh dear, I've only had two sips of water since this morning to prepare for the fashion show!"
"I'm starving!"
The models and staff walked out in a large entourage.
Xia Mian was stunned. She hadn't expected that no one would dislike or mock her. She had thought... they would criticize and berate her like the Xia family...
They criticize her for not being as likable as Lu Lian'er, for not being as sensible and obedient as Lu Lian'er, for not being as beautiful and outstanding as Lu Lian'er...
Has she been manipulated by the Xia family for so long that she has forgotten there are many, many normal people in this world?
A warm, large hand gently took her hand, and warmth flowed continuously from the palm.
Xia Mian subconsciously looked up, and the tall man's eyes met hers. Her heart pounded.
A jolt of electricity seemed to run through her mind, leaving her momentarily stunned. "Why are you wearing a mask..."
"Keep it mysterious." Fu Yanshen smiled slightly as he looked at her silly face. His identity meant he couldn't be too conspicuous, but he wanted to stay with her.
He decided to take the risk anyway and had Cedric make him a mask.
Fu Yanshen had changed back into the black suit he had worn when he arrived. It was a custom-made LX suit with neatly set diamond cufflinks, making him elegant and charming.
Elegant and handsome! Xia Mian was stunned.
Seemingly amused by her reaction, Fu Yanshen couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her soft hair with his large hand, his deep voice spreading through the air, "Let's go to the celebration banquet."
Zhao Baoqi was waiting outside for Fu Yanshen and Xia Mian when he saw the tall figure leading the slender girl closer.
Little Chili looked disgruntled. "Big brother, you're being unfair! You only hold my best friend's hand, not mine!"
Fu Yanshen glanced at Xia Mian, "Indeed, we cannot favor one over the other."
The other large hand then took Zhao Baoqi's hand and led him toward the Rolls-Royce.
Zhao Baoqi was dumbfounded!
The older brother was clearly in a good mood?
She was just saying it casually... She never expected her older brother to actually hold her hand! He had never been so gentle with her before!
In the banquet hall of the Jin Yue Hotel, dozens of large round dining tables were set up, and about two hundred people gathered together in a lively atmosphere, including supermodels, staff members, and some senior managers of the LX brand.
Everyone gathered together, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
To the side of the banquet hall is a large private room.
The private room isolates the noise from outside.
Cedric, Lan Xinbing, Xia Mian, Fu Yanshen, Zhao Baoqi and others took their seats, and the domestic president and vice president of the LX brand arrived.
Are you kidding me? Even Chief Fu can't get a call usually, okay?
Now that there's an opportunity to sit down and have dinner with him without making an appointment, only a fool wouldn't come!
During the meal, the president and vice president tried desperately to find topics to talk about and get closer to Fu Yanshen, attempting to build a closer relationship with him.
Cedric and Lan Xinbing were still unwilling to give up and wanted to sign Xia Mian as a brand ambassador or a model.
“Shen! We’re old acquaintances! I saved your life back in America that year. For the sake of that life-saving grace, you have to get Miss Xia’s consent!”
"Ms. Xia's intervention tonight truly saved our brand!"
"Shen, please..."
Fu Yanshen lifted his eyelids to look at the girl beside him, while elegantly picking up a piece of beef for Xia Mian.
