Chapter 231 - No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (1/2)

Chapter 231 No Good Deed Goes UnpunishedWhen the staff heard Tang Xia speak, the few colleagues who had gone too far stopped ridiculing Li Xianxian. However, when they recalled what Li Xianxian had done during the livestream, they looked at Tang Xia with a puzzled expression.

“Tang Xia, why are you still speaking up for her? Don’t you remember how she treated you during the livestream?” a female colleague could not help but ask.

Another female colleague immediately chimed in, “Yes, Tangxia. You are too big-hearted.”

After they said this, the two colleagues exchanged a look and their expressions gave off the same message. They would not have been able to let it go like Tang Xia.

When Li Xianxian heard their voices, her expression turned even uglier. Not only did Tang Xia’s words fail to make her grateful, but they made her feel even more embarrassed instead.

When Tang Xia recalled Li Xianxian’s mean look, her expression changed slightly. However, she quickly recovered and replied calmly, “It’s all water under the bridge now.”

Since Tang Xia had let it go, everyone else was even less qualified to fuss about it. The expressions of those few colleagues changed. Although they continued to look at Li Xianxian with contempt, they did not comment any further.

When Li Xianxian saw the change in them, she became even more hateful and jealous of Tang Xia. It was fine when Tang Xia did not speak. However, when she spoke, Li Xianxian immediately directed all of her resentment and hatred at her.

“Tang Xia, who needs your false kindness?” Li Xianxian screamed, giving a shock to everyone present. Nobody had expected her not to buy it after Tang Xia had helped her.

Tang Xia, who was also stunned, opened her mouth to explain. “I…”

“What? Aren’t you just trying to win over the hearts of the people by pretending to be a good, big-hearted person?” Before Tang Xia could finish her sentence, Li Xianxian sneered coldly and interrupted her disdainfully.

Tang Xia had not expected that Li Xianxian would evaluate her good intentions like this. She instantly looked at Li Xianxian speechlessly.

“If it hadn’t been for you, would I have ended up like this?”

Li Xianxian became increasingly motivated by what she was saying. She seemed to blame Tang Xia for her misfortune, for losing her reputation after the livestream, and for the ban on her livestream.

Tang Xia was left speechless when she heard Li Xianxian. On the other hand, Li Xianxian was so enraptured in what she was saying that her saliva was flying out. Everyone’s jaws dropped when they saw this.

“What? Are you at a loss for words?” Li Xianxian asked smugly with persistence when she saw this, her eyes full of mockery.

Tang Xia was completely defeated by Li Xianxian’s world view. A self-deprecating smile surfaced on her face subconsciously. To think that she had actually sympathized with Li Xianxian earlier… Perhaps she was out of her mind.

Considering how Li Xianxian was, why would she need her sympathy? To think that her brain had short-circuited earlier and she had even stood up for Li Xianxian… She was truly asking to be embarrassed.

“What are you laughing at?” When Li Xianxian saw Tang Xia’s smile, she felt insulted, which made her even angrier. A malicious look flashed in her eyes as she raised her hand to slap Tang Xia viciously.

“Enough.” Tang Xia had had enough of Li Xianxian’s unreasonable abuse. When she saw that she was trying to push her luck, she directly raised her hand to block Li Xianxian’s arm, her expression turning cold.

Li Xianxian did not manage to hit her but she continued to try to make a move while she cursed Tang Xia. Suddenly, a subtle clicking sound could be heard nearby. It was the sound of the camera of the cell phone, which had not been turned off.

It turned out that a colleague who had witnessed this scene from the sidelines had taken a photo of it.

Li Xianxian’s face turned pale. Now that she was infamous, if this photo was circulated, she would never be able to bounce back again.

“Give me the phone!” Li Xianxian immediately turned and hurled a torrent of abuse like a shrew. At the same time, she charged towards the colleague who had secretly taken the photo to snatch the phone and delete the photo.

The colleague was naturally unwilling and the two of them were quickly entangled. Li Xianxian seemed to have lost all sense of reason, so she was not even bothered when her hair became disheveled. She disregarded everything else and simply tried to snatch the cell phone.

When Tang Xia saw this, she shook her head silently. She no longer felt any sympathy for Li Xianxian. After all, she had asked for it. Tang Xia could not be bothered to stay here any longer. Thus, she took one last glance before leaving without any hesitation.

Right now, the person she wanted to see the most was Ye Yifan. When Tang Xia thought about Ye Yifan, she could not help but feel expectant. She had not seen him in a long time and she wondered if he had also missed her slightly the way she had missed him.

Tang Xia’s thoughts ran wild as she walked out with a slight skip. However, as soon as she went through the door, cameras were aimed at her. When the reporters saw Tang Xia, their eyes shone and they stepped over each other to crowd around her.

“Tang Xia, your androgynous appearance during this livestream has caused a heated discussion on the Internet. What are your views on this?”

“Will you use this opportunity to change your style?”

“Have you ever thought about extending the style of the livestream to your actual life?”

“What are your views on Li Xianxian’s misconduct during the livestream?”

“When Chu Tiankuo confessed his love for you, you replied that there was already someone you liked. Could you share with us who that is?”

“Could you answer?”

“…”
