Chapter 398: Chapter 404: Turmoil (5)

"Plop, plop," two creamy fruit cakes landed squarely on the faces of the two individuals!

A greasy, stark white mass of cream was slowly sliding down their heavily made-up faces, the sticky cream ruining their makeup and matting their hair into clumps. Moreover, the cream had also stained their expensive, tailor-made gowns, prompting Zhang Huihui to slap at the cake clinging to her dress as it slid downward, "This dress is from a sponsor, it’s very expensive!"

As soon as these words were out, many nearby people couldn’t help but chuckle. A star’s outfit could easily cost hundreds of thousands. Even for A-list celebrities, the exorbitant cost of attire occasionally left them strapped for cash. Zhang Huihui’s outfit had been specially prepared for her by a sponsor to brandish on the red carpet. But now, thanks to Yu Zexiao, it was in a sorry state!

Yu Zexiao just cocked his chin up slightly and spread his hands innocently, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

"Pfft—Hahahaha!" Laughter erupted all around.

Just now, Situ Xuan clearly sensed that Yu Zexiao had deliberately spilled wine on Jian Anning to make her leave his side and change clothes. Although he was somewhat surprised, he looked down on the action afterward.

What could a man who only takes his anger out on women amount to?

But later, seeing him awkwardly but effectively teach a lesson to those who slandered Jian Anning, he realized that Yu Zexiao wasn’t as indifferent to her as he appeared on the surface.

Perhaps, even he hadn’t realized he had started to fall for the little assistant. Although his methods were naive, his protective instincts were undeniable.

Situ Xuan kept a calm expression. But his heart was anything but calm. He hadn’t been to the film set these past few days because he was competing with Yu Jingxi for that London water project!

Originally, Yu Jingxi had made a trip to London two months earlier, planning to acquire the patent technology for the water services. After Situ Xuan learned about this, Yu Jingxi had already nearly closed the deal. He immediately reached out, aiming to snatch this sizable investment!

To his surprise, Yu Jingxi got wind of this the instant it happened, immediately flew to London, and with just an extra fifty million, secured the contract.

Situ Xuan was somewhat regretful about this. It was the first time since he took over the family business that he didn’t win a contract! Though Yu Jingxi had paid an extra fifty million, the future earnings from this contract would absolutely be profitable!

Moreover, Yu Jingxi even traced the vines to find the agency company Situ Xuan was hiding behind, nearly exposing him! This forced Situ Xuan to take a step back and quickly leave London, returning to Huaxia Country.

In this confrontation, neither Situ Xuan nor Yu Jingxi came out better off. Moreover, although it seemed like Yu Jingxi had lost out, he had completely uncovered the covert network Situ Xuan had established in London. With years of effort suddenly exposed, it would be much more difficult for him to use this avenue to go against Huanyu Group in the future.

He would need to bide his time and seriously consider how to deal with Huanyu Group!

Yu Zexiao, unaware of Situ Xuan’s machinations, continued on.

He wasn’t foolish, having spilled an entire glass of red wine on Jian Anning.
