Chapter 542: The Day of the Fashion Show (3)_1
"Auntie, I really don’t like staying up there, my mouth is about to freeze from all the smiling. Anyway, I don’t care anymore, my task is now finished, and as for interviews and all that, I’m out," Situ Xin pushed the bouquet of flowers into Lu Juan’s arms and pouted cutely at her, trying to shirk responsibility.
"Hey, Baby, you can’t just bail on me halfway through. Let me tell you," Lu Juan was getting ready to put in some effort to convince Situ Xin today, no matter what. However, before she could start, Situ Xin’s cell phone ringtone interrupted her.
"Ah, Auntie, wait for me for a sec, I’ve got a call to answer. The people behind me, I’m leaving them to you." With that said, Situ Xin pulled the buzzing phone from her pocket, waved it in front of Lu Juan, and turned to leave.
Lu Juan was left behind, not having had the chance to stop Situ Xin, and faced the flood of reporters rushing towards her.
"Over there, Situ Xin is over there!" Someone shouted, and a swarm of reporters surged towards Lu Juan. But Situ Xin’s figure had already disappeared backstage.
Staring down the empty corridor where Situ Xin had vanished, Lu Juan cursed under her breath, "That girl, once I catch her, she’ll see how I deal with her." This made Yu Shiyin, who was standing by and overheard Lu Juan’s muttering, roll her eyes ungracefully. She knew all too well the extent of Lu Juan’s doting on Situ Xin—it was clear not just in the Loo Family, but in the entire Situ Family’s coddling of her. So, Shiyin didn’t believe a word of Lu Juan’s threat to give Situ Xin a good lesson. In fact, when faced with Situ Xin, Lu Juan wouldn’t even be able to harshly scold her, let alone punish her.
Lu Juan was unaware of the thoughts racing through Shiyin’s mind because of her words. Now, she had to deal with the mess Situ Xin had left behind. "Dear reporters, I’m very sorry, our ’Xin’ Clothing Company’s chief designer, Miss Situ Xin, has some urgent matters and had to leave earlier. If you have any questions, you can ask me, I can answer on her behalf."
"Who are you?" One of the reporters asked, noticing Lu Juan’s attire and refined demeanor, and didn’t dare to make a scene, simply raising the question.
"I’m the president of ’Xin’ Clothing Company, so I have the authority to answer questions regarding our chief designer on her behalf," Lu Juan replied, maintaining an elegant smile.
The group of reporters, though still somewhat unwilling to accept the fact that they couldn’t interview the designer, quickly realized they had no other choice as they saw no sign of the designer backstage. After weighing their options, they decided it would be more beneficial to stay and interview the president of ’Xin’ Clothing Company rather than return with no news at all. So after some deliberation, they sensibly remained and began to interview Lu Juan.
Meanwhile, Situ Xin had already picked up her phone and was in Xiao Muli’s car, leaving the fashion show venue.
