Chapter 1382: Gu Jinxiu Hitting the Muzzle
Everyone turned to look.
They saw Xia Yingluo come out wearing a light-colored s.h.i.+rt. She closed the door casually and wore her sungla.s.ses.
Her movements were calm and unhurried, and she was not uncomfortable even while facing so many reporters at close range. But the reporters were excited and raised their cameras to snap shots quickly.
Li Rui frowned. “What are you doing outside?”
Xia Yingluo said, “I’m hungry and don’t want to be blocked on the road.” Their car was blocked by Gu Jinxiu, and with so many reporters’ cars, the expressway was simply blocked. The cars behind thought there had been an accident and had all diverted.
Li Rui sneered and gave Gu Jinxiu a pointed look. “Someone had no morals and stopped here randomly.”
A smart reporter echoed quickly. “Yeah, yeah. As a lady, you have no education. I must expose this. Rich people should not be let go when they do the wrong things! They have much social responsibility!”
“Yes, that’s it!” The other reporters also agreed. They had all received benefits from Li Rui and were anxious to curry favor with him. “The traffic jam hindered Ms. Xia from having her meal, and she almost had low blood sugar again! The Gu family’s perfume company is too irresponsible!”
In a few words, it involved even the Gu family’s perfume company.
Gu Jinxiu’s expression was very bad. She was not a star like Xia Yingluo and didn’t have her own fan base, so even if she was splashed with dirty water, not many people would speak up for her. That was still fine, but it involved the Gy family’s image and was a huge impact on her family’s corporate image.
“I was also forced to stop my car here…” Gu Jinxiu was sobbing, trying to move the reporters, but she secretly cursed inside. Why was the traffic jam because of her? This expressway was a good two-lane road and she only blocked one of the roads. The other cars could still drive past perfectly, but the other road was blocked because of those reporters!
But even if she felt grievance, she didn’t dare to reason with the reporters. The reporters wrote with their pens as knives. She was already out of favor with them, so how could she possibly drag more hatred onto her? She looked at Xia Yingluo. “Ms. Xia, don’t be so aggressive… I beg you…”
“You’re still pretending to be so pitiful at this time?” Li Rui sneered. “What does it have to do with Yingluo when the reporters have condemned you?”
Xia Yingluo simply ignored her existence. Ever since she got off the sports car, she hadn’t even glanced at Gu Jinxiu once. She looked up at the horizon, and a helicopter flew over not far away and landed slowly near them, the fierce wind blowing their hairs.
There was the loud roar of the propeller.
Li Rui glanced at her sister. “You called it?”
“I’m hungry.” Xia Yingluo insisted.
Since the car was blocked, who knew when she could move?
When she was sitting in the car just now, the amazing hearing of the Skatana tribe allowed her to hear the outside movement clearly, and she didn’t want to be in a standstill with Gu Jinxiu. Thus, she contacted the Li family’s helicopter. It was almost time to go, so she had come out to board the plane.
The reporters around also understood that it turned out that Ms. Xia didn’t want to talk to Gu Jinxiu at all. She was just waiting for the helicopter!
For a while, many scornful eyes fell on Gu Jinxiu. This woman was so miserable that she deliberately stopped the car here. However, Ms. Xia didn’t even care about her.
Of course, Gu Jinxiu also understood her meaning. It turned out that in her eyes, her hunger was more important!
A raging fire stormed in her heart, but she had no other choice and said sadly, “Xia Yingluo, you can’t do this! You can’t s.n.a.t.c.h my husband!”
“You’re shameless. Wei Lingnan hasn’t officially married you yet.” Li Rui couldn’t stand it and said coldly.
Xia Yingluo still ignored Gu Jinxiu. She stepped gracefully towards the landing helicopter and got on it with the help of the staff. She didn’t feel the need to say anything to Gu Jinxiu. Wei Lingnan had discovered that she was the queen, so the next thing was between her and Wei Lingnan. This fake product called Gu Jinxiu was out.
She had no habit of wasting time with irrelevant people.
Sitting firmly on the helicopter, she looked at Li Rui impatiently. “Aren’t you getting on?”
Li Rui simply wanted to hit her. He had tried so hard to help her fight her rivals, but in the end, she had plans to leave him alone? “Of course! Wait for me!” He shouted unhappily, then ran over and boarded the helicopter.
The helicopter slowly lifted off, and a huge wind blew on Gu Jinxiu’s face, making her eat dust while still kneeling on the ground.
The appearance of the dust on her face aroused the interest of the reporters, and they immediately came forward to take pictures of her.
Gu Jinxiu didn’t care about these reporters. She looked up at the distant helicopter and suddenly felt deep despair in her heart. It turned out that without Wei Lingnan’s protection, she was nothing…
No one would care about her, no one would look fondly upon her.
Fighting with Xia Yingluo alone, she even… she didn’t even have the right to fight with her!
Some time ago, she had been so proud of herself that she had forgotten how weak she really was. She had relied on Wei Lingnan, and now she was beaten back to her original shape. She knelt on the ground and was in so much pain she couldn’t breathe.
The next day.
Gu Jinxiu’s pitiful appearance was indeed on the newspaper, together with reports about the traffic jams on the highway.
The reporters described Gu Jinxiu’s overbearing incomprehensibility with extremely exaggerated words, pointing out the dangers of such traffic blocking on the expressway. They finally concluded that the young lady of the Gu family was so unethical. Then, how well could she lead the Gu enterprise?
Public opinion was in an uproar, and several public figures stood out, insisting that they would boycott the Gu family’s perfumes in the future.
Boycotting her perfume was one thing. More importantly, they were showing off to the Li family in disguise. Of course, this second level of meaning was only known to the people in the circle. In the public eye, what they saw was only the message that “even celebrities were averse to the Gu family.”
Many people followed suit immediately, setting off a wave of resistance to the Gu family’s perfume.
Even when a girl used the Gu family’s perfume, she would be dismissed by the people around her. “Gu family’s perfume? Isn’t that a company without public morals? It’s low.” Even those who used their perfume were also considered tasteless.
Perfumes were not a necessity in life and many people bought it as style only. So who wanted people to say they were tasteless because of this?
Many users of the Gu family’s perfume bought other brands, and the Gu family’s perfume saw a large-scale sales decline.
Li Rui watched the report at home and smiled happily. “Yes! Who told her to bully you!”
Xia Yingluo was drinking tea and basking in the sun next to him. She watched as the two leopards Mao Mao and Rong Rong chased each other on the lawn, and said lazily, “The evil we bring onto ourselves is the hardest to bear. I didn’t even have the intention to make trouble with her.”
Gu Jinxiu just happened to hit the muzzle herself.
