Gu Lin excitedly wanted to bring her down but was rendered speechless after a few words. She was furious.
After pausing for a moment, she finally said, “That’s rubbish! Meteor Wings’ sales had nothing to do with you at all!”
“Oh?” Xia Ling chuckled. “Miss Gu, are you saying that it’s because Old Master Gu and the Gu Family had poor eyes for talent and chose a useless spokesperson?”
“You!” Gu Lin was at a loss for words. Why was this b*tch so hard to bring down? Even if she were convinced that choosing Ye Xingling as the spokesperson was a mistake, how could she dare to say that her own grandfather had a poor eye for talent in front of so many people? Grandfather Gu would skin her alive!
Infuriated, her face turned red.
The media representatives went into a frenzy snapping shots of them. In the photos, Xia Ling looked relaxed, while in contrast, Gu Lin was boiling with anger.
Haha, this was a comparison photo that they took so easily!
Many people started to sympathize with Gu Lin.
Gu Lin also felt that the surrounding crowd was looking at her with some ridicule. She stamped her foot and walked around Xia Ling as she wanted to go inside. However, she was blocked by the staff at the entrance. “I’m sorry, miss. Please show us your invitation.”
Just now, Gu Lin was enraged and forgot about the invitation.
How could she show them an invitation? Her intention today was to use her status as the eldest daughter of the Gu Family to gain the support of the crowd to enter the building after embarrassing that b*tch for being ungrateful to the Gu Family. Unexpectedly, Ye Xingling was not embarrassed at all!
Thus, now, she couldn’t even enter the building. And if she left, she would be the one humiliated.
“Move away!” She yelled angrily at the staff.
“Miss Gu, please don’t throw a tantrum in front of my staff.” As the chairman of her company, even though she was inexperienced and did not know anything about managing her business, she knew how to protect it. “You’re from an eminent family. Please show some of the refined behaviors that someone from an eminent family should have.”
“So what if I throw a tantrum in front of them?” Gu Lin raged. She was unable to vent her anger on Ye Xingling, so she vented it on the staff. “Get out of my way!” She yelled.
Xia Ling’s expression darkened.
Since the staff was willing to follow her, she could not let them be bullied by others. She turned around and coldly instructed. “Security.”
The security officer received the order. He walked forward and said to Gu Lin, “Miss Gu, please don’t make a scene and cause trouble. Don’t block the entrance of our company.”
This was a warning.
A few of the surrounding onlookers could not believe it. This Ye Xingling was really unafraid of offending people. Even though she did not get along with Miss Gu, wouldn’t she at least care about the Gu family backing her? They were in the same circle, and seeing that they collaborated before for the Meteor Wings endorsement, was it really necessary to be so rigid?
“Are you trying to chase me away? I dare you to!” Gu Lin also fought back. In front of so many people and media representatives, she would be humiliated if she were chased out.
She screamed. “Ye Xingling, don’t forget who my father is! Don’t forget who my grandfather is!”
Now, she could only use her family to scare Xia Ling.
Xia Ling blinked and said to the two security officers, “Who told you to chase her away?”
It was an unpleasant tone.
Gu Lin smiled delightedly. Sure enough, after mentioning her father and grandfather, how could this b*tch not be afraid? Hmph, a lowly girl would always be lowly. Why was the media blindly spreading that she had 10 billion? It was definitely fake! She was of such low class, how could she have 10 billion?
The media representatives and onlookers were a little disappointed. This Ye Xingling looked like a proud person. How could she be scared after being slightly threatened by someone else? This did not look like a woman who could manage a company.
“Sigh… After all, she was from a humble family and had to submit to the rich.” A media reporter said.
Hearing this discussion, Gu Lin was pleased and arrogantly raised her head. With her nose in the air, she snorted. “That’s right. Why don’t you escort me in now?”
“Escort you in?” Unexpectedly, Xia Ling smiled. “Miss Gu, are you still sleeping? You don’t have an invitation, so why should I escort you in? You really think too highly of yourself.”
The crowd was shocked. If she did not intend to let Gu Lin in, why did she tell the security officer to stop?
Xia Ling continued, “Gu Lin, just now, you scolded my staff and haven’t apologized. Do you think you can leave just like that? You better apologize!” She said the last few words so aggressively that she frightened everyone around.
Gu Lin was also shocked by her tone. After a long time, she finally said, “No way!” What a joke. She was the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Why should she apologize to mere workers? “They aren’t worthy!”
“You don’t get to decide if they’re worthy.” Xia Ling was unwilling to relent. “I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t apologize, you have to bear the consequences.”
“Ha, what consequences can there be? I’m so scared!” Gu Lin laughed audaciously. She was used to being pampered and everyone giving in to her, so she really did not believe that Xia Ling could do anything to her.
Xia Ling glanced around. In front of the red carpet, there were flower baskets sent by famous families from all around the world such as the Gu Family. That flower basket was given to her in the name of the Gu Financial Magnate by Old Master Gu to establish good relations with Xia Ling. Although her current relationship with Li Lei was strained, Old Master Gu was not so short-sighted and always thought that this girl was not simple and was destined to be Li Lei’s lover… Even if she were not able to end up with Li Lei, her future achievements should not be underestimated.
Old Master Gu did not wish for their relationship to be ruined because of his granddaughter.
“This is a flower basket from your family.” Xia Ling pointed to the flower basket and spoke coldly. “As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, you insulted my staff in front of everyone. How could I accept this flower basket? Gu Lin, it’s ok if you don’t apologize. I will ask someone to throw this flower basket away.”
There was an uproar in the crowd.
If she threw the flower basket away, the Gu Financial Magnate would be extremely humiliated!
It was worse than harshly slapping someone’s face!
Gu Lin also started to panic. Although she was causing trouble, she was worried that her grandfather would really skin her alive. She viciously glared at Xia Ling. “You wouldn’t dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Xia Ling said firmly and calmly. “Do you know why I started Phoenix Down Corporation? That’s because… what other place can I be more willful and stubborn at than my own company?”
In the past, when she was in Skyart, she had to consider Li Lei whenever she did something.
However, now, she did not need to care about anything anymore.
She smiled happily, but in her heart, she was faintly disappointed and… in pain.
If only he were here.
If only he came back.
She would rather not have Phoenix Down Corporation and obediently not cause trouble for him.
She only wanted her sunshine back…
However, perhaps, he would never return.
