Chapter 1157: Chapter 448: Are You Worthy? (Part 3)

She has never been the weak and gentle type; if it were someone else, they would have already started swearing.

“An ordinary colleague relationship?” Wen Qiuyue sneered, “An assistant designer who’s only graduated a little over a year, how did you become the core designer of Qimeng? How did your trash work get into the [Fashion Show] and even have a model walk specially arranged for you?”

Hearing her words, Yao Lingling’s face instantly flushed, but she really didn’t know how to refute Wen Qiuyue’s comments.

Xiao Mingxuan gritted his teeth, reaching out to grab Wen Qiuyue’s arm and said word by word, “Wen Qiuyue! Stop causing trouble unreasonably. As the head of the Business Department, I choose whoever I want!”

Yao Lingling bit her lip and said softly, “Miss Wen, I understand how you feel, but President Xiao and I really are just ordinary colleagues. There must be some misunderstanding.”

Wen Qiuyue yanked her hand away, pointing at Yao Lingling, “Aren’t you aware? Stop pretending! I’ve seen many bitches like you, buzzing around rich and handsome men like flies drawn to stink. Look at yourself, do you think you deserve it?”

Yao Lingling bit her lip, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes turning red.

Just as she was about to speak out, a cold voice suddenly came from ahead, “Do you deserve it? What kind of thing are you?!”

Everyone looked up to see a tall figure walking toward them.

Wearing a fashionably tailored black casual suit, a white shirt, black shorts, long legs gleaming under the light.

“Click, click, click—” the pointed high heels tapped on the marble floor.

She carried a limited-edition LV Himalaya bag casually, with exquisite facial features showing a strong aura through her eyebrows and eyes.

At 175cm tall, plus the deliberately chosen high heels, her entire person exuded an undeniable sense of oppression.

She appeared abruptly among them, looking down indifferently and loftily at Wen Qiuyue.

In the hall, all eyes focused on her.

Yao Lingling stood in a daze and blurted out, “Muxue Sister.”

Li Shumin’s grip on her arm tightened slightly, her eyes filled with shock and admiration.

Good heavens! Isn’t that Lin Muxue? The assistant to the chairman of Huashang Clothing and a senior executive at Lanfeng International Hotel.

Is she here to stand up for Lingling?

Xiao Mingxuan was momentarily stunned.

Could Lingling’s friend she mentioned, the one coming to pick her up, be Lin Muxue?

“Lingling.” Lin Muxue nodded, then turned her sharp and confident gaze to Wen Qiuyue, a slight arc lifting her lips, “What are you? I’m asking you a question?”

Facing an adversary, her aggression was on full display, with no hint of backing down.

Watching Lin Muxue stand up for her, Yao Lingling’s heart trembled, unsure what to say for a moment.

When feeling utterly helpless and angry, having someone speak up for you — to say it doesn’t move you would be impossible.

She had always regarded Lin Muxue as a competitor, especially considering the close relationship between her and Tang Song senior.

Unexpectedly, she would defend her like this.

Wen Qiuyue’s face instantly darkened, her sharp eyebrows raising like two inverted willow-leaf swords, “And what are you? Pretending here? I don’t care who you are, better stay away from me! Get lost!”

Lin Muxue leaned forward slightly, “Uncultured swine, didn’t your parents teach you how to talk to others?”

Hearing her words, Wen Qiuyue laughed in anger, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this before.

She turned around, her gaze sharp and proud, “So… what’s your purpose? To help this vixen? Hmph, I see you and she are the same kind, right?”

“Wen Qiuyue!” Xiao Mingxuan pulled her away, gritting his teeth, “Haven’t you had enough? Do you believe I won’t call your dad right now!”

Then, he looked at Lin Muxue and said, “President Lin, today’s matter is my fault, I’m sorry.”

Wen Qiuyue’s face was ashen as she said, “Do I need you to apologize for me? If you don’t give me an explanation about you and Yao Lingling, do you believe I won’t cause a scene at your company!”

“You!” Xiao Mingxuan took a deep breath, his face darkening.

The biggest regret of his life was getting involved with this crazy woman, and then muddle-headedly sleeping with her after drinking.

Falling out with her would mean offending Wen Zhenhua and offending Jiaxin Group.

For Shangya Clothing Design, the consequences would be too severe.

Li Shumin glanced at her good sister, mustered up the courage, and said loudly, “Lingling and President Xiao have always been just ordinary friends, what gives you the right to wrongly accuse her!”

She had always wanted to match Lingling with Xiao Mingxuan and knew their situation best.

There was not a hint of ambiguity, pure could not be purer.

Moreover, knowing Xiao Mingxuan had a fiancée and yet actively approached Lingling had shattered her inner filter.

As expected, these rich and handsome types are never simple.

Wen Qiuyue glanced at her coolly, “What’s your name!”

“I…” Li Shumin’s heart beat wildly, her face flushed.

It felt like being targeted by the Purple Gold Gourd of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad; just saying her name would get her taken in.

Indeed, given Wen Qiuyue’s stature, just opening her mouth would get her fired instantly.

With Jiaxin Group’s influence, they could entirely ban her from the fashion industry.

Facing the fear of unemployment, Li Shumin’s mind went blank.

Yao Lingling hurriedly pulled her behind herself, glaring at Wen Qiuyue, “You’re so unreasonable! Acting completely self-centered!”

Wen Qiuyue snorted disdainfully, “What? Does a clandestine third party like you want to lecture me? Do you think Xiao Mingxuan really fancies you? He’s only toying with…”
