Chapter 1002: The Save Was Too Successful

It happened so suddenly that Xu Xiyan was caught off guard. The audience and reporters below the stage gasped in shock as they saw this scene.

If Jing Xi were to slip and fall, she would become tonight’s big “reveal.”

All the reporters seized the chance to snap photos of her. Almost by reflex, Xu Xiyan reached out to her sides to grab whatever could be grabbed on, then saved herself by executing a backflip and steadying herself.

She was finally back on her feet firmly, shocked but safe. However, the two actresses standing next to her were not so lucky.

Shen Mengyuan’s blue dress had been pulled down by Jing Xi just now. The front of her dress had fallen to her waist and her skin felt chilly as her black wing-shaped Nubra was completely exposed.

Lan Ling-Er’s bare-backed gown with high slits was also ruined; the slit of the dress had been torn so that it was almost up to her armpit.

When the two of them suddenly felt chilly, they finally reacted and were horrified out of their wits.

Shen Mengyuan quickly pulled up the front of her dress to cover her breasts. Lan Ling-Er could only cover her thigh with her hands desperately to prevent herself from being exposed.

The two felt very cold. After all, the temperature in Peijing was very low in December.

Every female star was wearing evening dresses for this event. They were indeed beautiful yet freezing.

Xu Xiyan did not expect that she would tear and ruin their dresses, as it was an accident just now. At this time while in front of the cameras, what she could do was to find a way to save the situation.

She immediately pulled off the scarf around her waist, unfolded it and tied it around Lan Ling-Er’s waist, successfully fixing the two parts of her dress together and covering the embarrassing parts.

Then she took off her jacket and put it around Shen Mengyuan’s shoulders, covering the wretchedness of her blue dress at once. Also thanks to the jacket, it greatly improved her charm as well.

Despite not having the jacket and scarf anymore, Xu Xiyan was not affected herself. She was wearing a thin, half-translucent black chiffon top with a beautiful frill under the jacket.

At this time, after taking off her jacket, the frills of her top fluttered, adding an enchanting look to her while exuding the cold air of the regality of a queen.

The save was too successful. The reporters had taken pictures of what happened just now and they were full of praise for Jing Xi’s actions.

After skipping the interview, Xu Xiyan accompanied the two frightened actresses to the backstage of the event hall to change their clothes.

There were no other people in the backstage resting lounge. Shen Mengyuan’s face showed strong abhorrence as she complained, “Jing Xi, you were deliberate just now! You deliberately tore off my dress to embarrass me!”

Shen Mengyuan was an expert in reversing the facts. It was obvious that she was the one who had thrown the bead at Jing Xi’s feet in her plans to make her slip. But in the end, she made it so that it was Jing Xi who had deliberately harmed her.

God knows where she got that kind of courage to stir up trouble!

Lan Ling-Er also cried out furiously, “Jing Xi! I never thought that you were that disgusting. You deliberately destroyed our dresses so you could have the limelight. You’re really too mean.”

In the face of their accusations, Xu Xiyan did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she raised her chin and asked, “Was it I who had deliberately embarrassed you? I already said that it was an accident just now. I almost slipped and accidentally pulled on your clothes. But after that, I already saved the both of you and apologized. If the dress is ruined, I can compensate. May I ask what else you want?”

“Who taught you to pretend to be kind! You just deliberately want to ruin me!”

Shen Mengyuan took off Xu Xiyan’s jacket and threw it back at her rudely.

Xu Xiyan caught the jacket, shook it and sneered. “How could I ruin you? I was helping you to get on the headlines in Peijing.”

Not buying her words, Shen Mengyuan cried out, “I am the original headline queen. Why would I want your help? You just can’t bear to see me being good friends with Ling-Er. You’re afraid that our limelight will overpower yours!”
