章節 4: Li Qing Yue
Qing Yue gaped.
The woman's outrageous claims surprised her. Rendered speechless, she stared at the other in disbelief. She expected the drama to end. After all, a crowd had gathered and they appeared like clowns as they argued in public. What person in their right mind would make a joke of themselves in front of an audience?
Internally shaking her head, Qing Yue threw her a disgusted glance, turned on her heels, and headed towards the rotating doors.
'You might want to make a fool of yourself, but I am not interested in accompanying you in the act.'
Unaware of the other's thoughts, Lu Jin felt victorious when she saw the sketchy girl silently walk away. Branded with the label of a seductress, she wanted to see who dared to take her side.
Sure enough, when she glanced back at the spectating crowd, she heard them remark about the wretched girl's questionable morals.
"With such an innocent face, she actually seduced another woman's man?"
"Sigh, there's no one you can trust these days. The most innocent looking person is usually the less trustable."
"At such a young age, she is already seducing men. What will she be doing once she grows older?"
"Do you even need to ask? With such looks and shameless behavior, she is certain to become a homewrecker!"
Lu Jin's spirits lifted at the disparaging words of the crowd. Smiling sweetly, she possessively grabbed Long Tian's arm. But she didn't expect the man to give off a cold aura that instantly froze her in her action and raised goosebumps over her skin.
He is angry? Recalling her earlier behavior, she discovered where the problem lay.
He didn't like her little farce.
Her eyes filled with panic as an urgent rush to mend her actions and restore her image surged through her. Looking around at the crowd, a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes and she innocently lowered her head and pouted.
But before she could open her mouth and start her tearful confession, a cold chill ran down her back. Her surroundings went strangely still as the atmosphere became tense. Perplexed, Lu Jin turned her head and met the eerie purple orbs of the girl.
'Didn't she leave? Why is she still standing there when everyone is cursing at her?' She inwardly spat at her for having no dignity.
Qing Yue, who was about to enter the rotating doors, suddenly stopped and looked back, attracting the crowd's interest. Her frosty gaze, like a sharp knife, instantly silenced them as they stared at her in astonishment.
A chill ran down their spine as, at that instant, before the girl's oppressive presence, they felt insignificant and inferior.
"I don't care about your earlier words, nor do I care for your man. However, you had better refrain from speaking about my parents. Otherwise, you will not be able to handle the repercussion."
With another disdainful glance, Qing Yue turned and walked away.
This time, she didn't look back as she headed directly to the VIP entrance.
"Mistress!"
The two guards at the door shouted in unison, their excited voices loud enough to reach the crowd. They deferentially bowed and opened the glass doors.
The silent crowd gasped in astonishment. They looked at the still bent guards and the VIP door they held open, their minds going blank as a single word repeatedly rang in their ears.
"Mistress? Did they just call her Mistress?" A middle-aged woman in a pink dress hesitantly whispered. She felt that she must've heard wrong and questioningly turned to her companion.
But her companion was in the same state as her, her eyes unfocused and clouded with confusion as she stared at the two guards.
"Yes, I think that's what they called her."
"But why would they call her Mistress? Is she the manager of the Ivy Club? But for a manager, that title seems a bit wrong and she is too young to be working as a manager here. This is the Li Industries club. Li Industries! Not just anyone can become a manager here." She agitatedly ran her hand through her hair, her anxious gaze fixed on the VIP door.
Not just anyone could enter through that door.
As the crowd murmured in confusion, the guards peered into the hall. No longer seeing the girl's figure, they respectfully closed the door and straightened their posture. Their eyes flared with pride and restrained anger as they looked at the ignorant woman that labeled their Mistress as a seductress.
They felt enraged but knew that if their Mistress wanted their protection, then she would've directly asked for it. She wouldn't have stopped them when they wanted to take action.
Since she stopped them, it meant she didn't care about the woman's words. And why would she? Her identity alone was enough to silence the other forever. She listened to the other's nonsense and silently walked away, treating her like a buzzing fly.
Her silent display of power and noble bearing made them sigh in awe.
'Truly the chairman's daughter.'
The guards' anger had disappeared, but they still wanted to clear their Mistress's name. Therefore, they proudly raised their chest and glared at Lu Jin. In a mocking tone with an edge of anger, they coldly warned.
"You should watch your mouth when you leave your house, otherwise, you will offend someone you cannot afford to offend. Seduce your man and cheat him of his wealth, you say? Our Mistress is the only daughter of the wealthiest businessman in the entire LiLong Country, Li Qing Yue. Why would she want your man's measly sum?"
"Li Qing Yue!? Did they just say Li Qing Yue?"
"Yes! They said Li Qing Yue! Oh Heavens, that was the Li Qing Yue!?"
"The only daughter of the richest man in the world...?"
"What do you think...?"
More gasps of astonishment resounded as men and women excitedly talked about the only daughter of CEO Li.
When they recalled Lu Jin's earlier words, they turned to look at her with strange expressions in their eyes. Their eyes seemed to say;
"The only daughter of the richest man in the world needs to seduce your boyfriend for money? Are you nuts or do you consider us as fools?"
Lu Jin felt the undisguised ridicule in those questioning glares. Sweating profusely, she nervously raised her hands and stiffly smiled and explained.
"A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I didn't know she was Li Qing Yue!"
Hateful girl! She should've just introduced herself from the beginning!
"Lu Jin, are you saying you will label anyone that gets close to long Tian as a seductress as long as she isn't flushed with money? Just earlier, you were saying with confidence that the girl was trying to trap your man for his money. Now that you know her identity, you're changing your statement? Why didn't you think everything was a misunderstanding when you shouted and cried seductress?" Fu Ji Ren coldly sneered as he looked at the shameless Lu Jin who had an ugly expression on her face.
It was rare for him to get an opportunity to stomp on the latter, so why would he let go of this chance?
"You clearly saw Long Tian bump into her. It was also him who caught her and prevented her from falling. And yet, you accused her of seducing your man. If she wasn't Li Qing Yue, it would've been difficult for her to clear the seductress label you impulsively stamped on her."
"You! Why are you exaggerating the matter? Did I purposely try to slander her? Obviously not! If Long Tian hadn't held her so closely, would I have misunderstood and gotten blinded with jealousy? It's because I love Long Tian too much that I overreacted. With new girls throwing themselves in his arms every day, I feel insecure and fear losing him." Covering her face with her slender hands, Lu Jin tearfully cried out her grievance, instantly earning the sympathetic sighs and understanding nods of the crowd.
'Fu Ji Ren, I know you don't like me. But don't even think you can smear my image in front of Long Tian. As long as I'm alive, that will never happen!'
Of course, she knew who Li Qing Yue was. The LiLong country wasn't named as so just for fun. Where the Long represented the strongest political leader, the Li represented the most powerful businessman.
If she knew the wretched girl was Li Qing Yue, why would she openly confront her?
As the only daughter of Li Chen, Li Qing Yue's name was mentioned in every conversation of the upper-class society.
Whether noble and rich madams and misses wanted to befriend her or matchmake her with their sons, or noble and rich men wanted to use her to get in contact with her father, they all yearned to at least meet her once.
If she had introduced herself right from the start, then things wouldn't have blown out of proportion.
Blaming the entire incident on Qing Yue, Lu Jin wept sadly and tightened her hold on Long Tian's shoulder.
"Tian Tian, I am sorry. I shouldn't have reacted so impulsively. But Tian Tian, I meant no harm. I only panicked because the girl fell in your arms. You know how much I care for you. That's why I reacted so strongly. I was wrong and you can punish me if you want. But please forgive me, okay? Don't be mad."
Fu Ji Ren snorted in contempt. Lu Jin's white-lotus act made him want to vomit. Her tearful and sad appearance was drastically different from her earlier arrogant and righteous behavior, making all the spectators' hearts soften and expressions relax.
"So it's like that. This woman is also not at fault. She acted out of impulse upon seeing her boyfriend holding another woman. Anyone would have assumed the same if they witnessed such a scene."
"She loves him, so her behavior is understandable. I would probably react the same way if I was in her position."
"Love is blind and sees nothing but what the eyes perceive. She saw her man holding another woman and assumed the worse. In such a situation, who can retain their rationality? Acting on impulse at the spur of the moment happens to everyone."
They sympathetically and understandingly supported her, attributing it to impulse spurred by her deep feelings for the man beside her.
Long Tian's furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing the crowd's words. Even though he still felt displeased and wore a cold expression, the cold aura exuding from his figure drastically decreased.
Lu Jin's eyes brightened as she also noticed this.
"Enough. I don't want any more drama right now. We will talk about this later." Interrupting her pitiful sobs, Long Tian turned towards the parking lot.
He lost the desire to hang out.
After such an embarrassing incident, he didn't have the face to enter the club and act like nothing happened. Especially not when the owner of the said club was the girl Lu Jin accused of scheming for his wealth.
'No wonder she reacted differently. To begin with, she was never one of those females.' Recalling the girl's cold and indifferent expression, Long Tian couldn't help but feel embarrassed and increase his pace.
Seeing them make such a mockery of themselves, she must have laughed at them, right?
"Tian Tian, where are you going? The club's entrance is this way!" Lu Jin shouted after him.
"What, you haven't embarrassed yourself enough? Do you still have the face to enter the Ivy Club after the little farce earlier? Go and enjoy yourself if you want, but I'm going home." Giving her a cold glance, Long Tian decisively strode towards his black hover.
Fu Ji Ren and Ouyang Gu exchanged looks and smiled.
Long Tian not giving priority to Lu Jin's wants was a first.
Immediately after, they wiped the smile off their faces and ran after him.
Left alone and looking pathetic, Lu Jin's face turned red with shame as she sensed the pitiful looks of the surrounding crowd. She angrily stomped her foot and shot a malicious glare towards the VIP entrance.
Tightly clenching her fists, she turned and chased after the three men.
'Li Qing Yue! Just wait! One day, I will return this humiliation back to you tenfold!'
