My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 435
Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Dog eat dog, mouthful of fur
Everyone’s gaze shifted to the entrance, and they all fell silent and stood up.
“Mr. Li!”
“Mr. Li!”
“Mr. Li!”
The man who walked in was tall and straight, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, exuding a commanding presence. Even Kim Yien, who had been scared, couldn’t help but stare. She stood up with the others, and almost instinctively fluttered her eyelashes, calling out, “Hello, Mr. Li.”
The director who had been talking to Levin earlier turned dark with displeasure upon witnessing her reaction.
But Kim Yien paid him no mind, her thoughts entirely consumed by the prospect that if this man took a fancy to her, she’d soar to new heights!
As she was struggling to contain her excitement, daydreaming away, it was as if a ‘miracle’ occurred—just as she was mulling over this, the man she was thinking about indeed looked in her direction.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she became so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet. Her face flushed, she stuttered, “Mr., Mr. Li…”
Jiang Xinyue couldn’t help but look at her as if she was a fool.
Ever since yesterday, when she had confirmed that this man had an unusual relationship with Rong Yan, she didn’t believe for a second that he would take any interest in Kim Yien.
After all, in terms of looks, Kim Yien couldn’t hold a candle to Rong Yan!
If she were a man, she certainly wouldn’t suddenly notice Kim Yien among so many other people, unless there was some reason.
And sure enough!
The next second, a group of police officers came out from behind the man. After exchanging a few words with the dignified and proud Mr. Li, they headed straight for Kim Yien, grabbed her firmly, and started to escort her out.
“What are you doing?” The person who had just been daydreaming was suddenly thrown into panic, struggling frantically as she exclaimed, “Let me go! What are you doing!”
“I’m sorry, Miss Kim, but we have discovered you’re involved in a malicious assault case. Please come with us to the police station!” The police officer spoke with an impartial tone, and then ordered his team decisively, “Take her away!”
At this moment, Kim Yien came fully to her senses, forgetting all about her dreams of rising high. Pale with fright, she struggled fiercely, saying, “You’ve got the wrong person, I don’t know anything about an assault case, it has nothing to do with me. You can’t arrest me! Let go of me!”
She couldn’t afford to be taken away by the police. If she were, she would be finished.
How could a star tainted with a scandal ever appear in public again!
Her image, her career would be utterly destroyed!
Being shelved is not the same as complete ruin. Being shelved still left her a chance to bounce back, but if she were taken into police custody and the reporters found out, she would never have the chance to redeem herself!
She looked toward the tall man with pleading eyes, hoping for a repeat of yesterday’s heroic rescue, “Mr. Li, I am innocent, they are making things up, I don’t know anything.”
Li Shengxiao didn’t even glance at her.
Kim Yien’s hopes were shattered once again. While struggling, she scanned the crowd and suddenly caught sight of Jiang Xinyue.
“Jiang Xinyue, it was you! It was you who made me do it! If you abandon me, I’ll tell the police and the reporters.”
Jiang Xinyue felt a jolt of anxiety, but she had been well-prepared for Kim Yien to try to implicate her. She remained composed as she stated flatly, “I don’t even know what you’ve done. And now you want to drag me down with you. The police have evidence if they’re here for you, otherwise, why aren’t they coming for me? If it really involves me like you claim, show me the evidence. If you have it, I’ll own up to it.”
