Chapter 138: Fortune and Misfortune Entwine
The cars retreated, and Song Yao’s car flew forward.
An arm appeared from the car behind them. The gun in its hand took aim at Song Yao’s car’s gas tank.
Song Yao managed to dodge the first shot and it hit the car’s rear.
That seemed to annoy them. The second shot was aimed at the tyres.
The tyre burst. There was an instant where the car lost control. At this moment, another gunshot came.
The sound of a helicopter quickly followed. The cars behind them quickly retreated,
Song Yao’s car stopped. He turned around and asked worriedly, “Are you alright, Miss Yun?”
Yun Xiangxiang had already recovered. Even though the car tossed around just now, Ai Li protected her well all the way.
Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t hurt anywhere except for bumping her head a few times. Yun Xiangxiang shook her head, “I am fine…”
The car’s door was roughly opened after she finished. As soon as she raised her head, she was greeted by Song Yao’s concerned face.
She didn’t feel anything at all in the first place. Even if she was faced with a gun, she could still stay calm.
However, tears inexplicably streamed down when she saw Song Mian at this moment.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t wish for Song Mian to see her being this weak. She threw herself into Song Mian’s embrace.
“It’s alright, it’s alright…” Song Mian hugged her tightly and consoled her softly. “It’s my fault.”
Yun Xiangxiang shook her head. She wiped her tears away, “It’s a misfortune that I invited myself.”
She might really lose her life here if it wasn’t for Song Mian and Song Yao.
Yun Xiangxiang never experienced this kind of stuff in her previous life. She didn’t expect these top noble families to treat people’s lives as nothing.
What was even more unexpected was that a foreign country’s society was different from theirs. They couldn’t be judged by the same standards.
“Excuse me, excuse me,” a very fit man in police clothes came forward at this moment. “We need this lady to come with us so we can get her statement.”
“I’m sorry, but she’s frightened now,” Song Yao took Yun Xiangxiang in his arms and kept her in his embrace.
A new car came to them from afar at this moment. It stopped in front of Song Mian and Yun Xiangxiang.
Song Mian took Yun Xiangxiang into the car. He gazed at the police officer before he got into it himself, “This matter made me quite unhappy. If you cannot provide me with a satisfactory reply, then I will take matters into my own hands.”
Song Mian got into the car without giving him a chance to explain. The chauffeur was changed to Song Yao. He drove away from that place.
Yun Xiangxiang turned around in the car and looked at the frustrated police officer standing in front of the chopper for police use, “Ah Mian, just leave it to the cops.”
“Of course I’ll leave it to them. They are the ones who can lawfully do these after all. I was just giving them some pressure,” Song Mian let Yun Xiangxiang lean on his shoulder.
“Then when should I go to the police station to record my statement?” Yun Xiangxiang still wanted to respect the law and complete all the procedures.
Song Mian had already helped her just now. She couldn’t make Song Mian lose face after all.
“Have a good rest tonight. We will go tomorrow,” Song Mian knew what Yun Xiangxiang was thinking.
Song Mian was being extra careful the whole night. He even consciously made his movement lighter. He seemed to be worried that he would frighten Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang felt warm but sad when she saw Song Mian like this. She hugged Song Mian’s waist and said, “Can you sleep with me?”
She probably wouldn’t be able to sleep the whole night because of fear if Song Mian wasn’t sleeping at her side.
Yun Xiangxiang was truly frightened, especially the moment when she saw the gun. That scared the wits out of her. However, her self-regulatory ability was great. She was alright now.
However, Song Mian probably would feel that she was putting on a strong face no matter what she said. It would be better if he saw it for himself.
Just when Yun Xiangxiang was almost drifting to sleep in Song Mian’s embrace, she said, “Ah Mian…”
“En?” Song Mian was constantly keeping an eye on her response.
Yun Xiangxiang kept the sleepy bug at bay and said sleepily, “I am your girlfriend.”
As smart as Song Mian was, he didn’t figure out what Yun Xiangxiang was trying to say instantly, “Yes.”
“Your girlfriend cannot be a weakling,” Yun Xiangxiang closed her eyes after she finished. Her breathing quickly became even.
From the moment that I agreed to become your girlfriend, I must make myself into someone strong.
It was just a thrilling accident. I can still take it.
Song Mian’s gemlike eyes shone with endless love and tenderness after he understood Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts.
He lowered his head and kissed Yun Xiangxiang before closing his eyes with her in his embrace.
Even though this matter didn’t appear in the news, Austin still called Yun Xiangxiang the first thing in the morning. He was anxious and worried.
“Mr. Austin, I only did what I should do under that situation. Do not feel sorry. I am fine now.”
She got The Star of Peace after all. If the winner was someone else, she wouldn’t care about it.
From the moment she drew it, she was no longer a bystander. How could she throw the company for which she was a spokesperson down the dumpster?
If Austin was fired, then that would be it for the contract between MonRoe and her.
The other brands wouldn’t hire her if she did that.
Even if she was innocent, she was the biggest beneficiary. It would be little wonder if people grumbled about her.
There was a lot of media there at that time. If she said nothing, MonRoe and Austin wouldn’t be able to retreat nicely.
Even if she returned it in private, did that really mean that she wouldn’t receive anyone’s revenge?
Austin couldn’t blame her for losing The Star of Peace. She couldn’t blame Austin for getting dragged into this mess.
Yun Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and faced He Wei’s cold expression after she barely consoled Austin, “Brother Wei, I…”
“I won’t let this matter slide just like that,” said He Wei solemnly.
“Ah? Oh,” Yun Xiangxiang thought that He Wei’s anger was because of her carelessness. It turned out that he was trying to avenge her.
He Wei observed Yun Xiangxiang’s response. His face became gentle, “You did right. I am proud of you.”
“I do not regret doing it,” Yun Xiangxiang would still do it again even if she knew she must go through last night’s scare.
This was her morality, ethics, and conscience as a person. She also considered her benefits, of course.
She would just keep The Star of Peace in a box if it was given to her. Even if she split it, could she survive just by wearing it and not fulfilling any basic needs?
This was unrealistic. There could only love jewelry so much. Compared to diamonds, she placed more importance toward her long term collaboration with MonRoe.
After this accident, nobody could take away MonRoe’s endorsement rights from her as long as Austin was there!
“Our return will be delayed for two days. The chief editor for “FE” just called me. They want to interview you. Cover page of the monthly issue,” a smile finally cracked open on He Wei’s face.
“”FE” magazine?” Yun Xiangxiang gulped. “The most influential fashion magazine in the Big Apple?”
“Yes. Seems like this may have been a blessing in disguise. They want to know about the Oriental angel that is so holy and elegant,” He Wei wrapped his arms in front of his chest and nodded. “You are now the most famous actress in New York City.”
