The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 97 - 0, Step aside, move away (Second update)

"Stay away from me."

The cool voice was neither light nor heavy, suppressing the noisy clamor, just loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

The chattering reporters, unusually in sync, fell silent.

They looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes, as it was evident that they had not anticipated this reaction from Ye Jiuliang.

The reporter at the very front, fearlessly, pushed his microphone towards Ye Jiuliang’s face, nearly bumping into it.

"Miss Ye, are you really Ji Mingqian’s girlfriend?"

As soon as the question was asked, everyone could distinctly feel the temperature around them plummet, as if, despite the blazing sun overhead, they were enveloped by a bone-chilling cold.

The reporter closest to her caught her icy gaze, his breath caught, as if someone was strangling him, and a chill crept up his spine.

"Have you all eaten and have nothing better to do?"

The frigid tone was filled with hostility.

The hands of the crowd shook, nearly dropping their microphones and cameras.

Ye Jiuliang’s patience was exhausted, and her voice became even colder, "Don’t block the way, move aside."

The reporters weren’t ready to back down so quickly where they had the chance to catch Ji Mingqian’s scandal.

A bunch of them, stubborn as logs, didn’t budge an inch from where they stood.

Ye Jiuliang didn’t get angry; instead, she laughed, leisurely taking out her phone and dialing a number.

The crowd only saw her put the phone to her ear, and then those cold eyes swept over towards them.

Ye Jiuliang glanced at the reporter who had been insistent on courting death, her eyes sliding over the work card hanging around his neck.

"Xintian Entertainment, Lai Ming," she repeated his name indifferently.

The named reporter felt a thump in his heart, a premonition of dread seeping in.

Soon as the call ended, Ye Jiuliang pulled a lollipop from her pocket, leisurely unwrapping it.

An eerie silence followed, as no one dared make a sound first.

Until the sound of a cellphone rang.

Many eyes darted towards the source of the ringing, Lai Ming took out his phone, and seeing the call from his direct superior, the bad feeling in his gut intensified.

Without daring to delay, he hastily answered the call.

No one knew what the person on the other end said, but they all saw Lai Ming’s face instantly turn ashen.

The phone slipped from his palm and crashed to the ground.

"Bang—"

Lai Ming rushed to Ye Jiuliang, stretching out his hand to pull on her sleeve, but he grasped at thin air.

"Miss Ye, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I beg you to be forgiving, I can’t afford to lose this job, please I beg you."

Ye Jiuliang, with a lollipop in her mouth, one hand in her trouser pocket, glanced scornfully at the reporters, "Is there anyone else planning to switch jobs together?"

This time, everyone knew something was up; if they were clueless, they’d truly be fools. Their gaze towards Ye Jiuliang was both fearful and wary.

She was a tough character.

Without making a sound, she managed to get someone fired.

Ye Jiuliang reached up to adjust the brim of her hat, "Move."

In an instant, the tightly packed crowd of reporters scattered like startled birds.

All talk of exclusive reports was nonsense; it was more important to keep their jobs.

With the path cleared, Ye Jiuliang left unobstructed.

The group of reporters watched as the young girl got into the car, left with nothing but helpless faces.

...

Ye Family

The living room was packed, with every seat on the sofa taken.

The TV was on, displaying the video of Ye Jiuliang confronting reporters at the airport.

The Ye family members had various expressions on their faces, casting surreptitious glances towards the direction of the old Ye family head, with no one daring to speak first.

Even Ye Miao, who usually couldn’t stand Ye Jiuliang, had learned her lesson after the last incident and had stopped being the one to stick her neck out.

"Miss Jiuliang," came a voice from outside the door.

The Ye family members turned to look as the young girl walked in with slow steps.

With a backpack slung over her shoulder, it seemed she had come directly from the airport.
