“What did you say?” Han Qing’s eyes narrowed quickly and his presence became threatening. “Accident? What do you mean by an accident? Tell me!”
Han Qing’s grim attitude had scared the assistant into speaking incoherently. With her trembling hands, she pulled up the recent news and handed the phone over to Han Qing.
“President Han, look at this… This news just came out.”
Han Qing hastily grabbed the phone and looked. To his dismay, he saw the news of the plane accident and it was the same plane that Ye Moxuan had boarded. Shocked at the news, his vision went black momentarily as he was barely able to process it.
At that moment, he thought of his sister, Muzi. If he had struggled to accept the news, then how would she react? He feared that the impact would be too great for her. Since finding out about it, his eyes had clouded over and his presence became grim.
He looked to the side at the secretary’s assistant with a cold expression on his face. “Don’t say anything about this for now.”
“What about the wedding?” The secretary’s assistant was also panicking after she received the news. There was a 1/1000 chance that something like this would happen, yet it happened to her.
What a massive wedding. Such a large wedding with so many people watching and so many people from the media with their cameras there, yet the groom had gotten into an accident. How would they go about it if the groom never showed up? If they did not reveal the news, then the people there would never know that the groom got into an accident. They would only know that he did not show up to his wedding. Wouldn’t that be the same as telling everyone that the bride got abandoned?
The secretary’s assistant could not get a hold of herself. She just trembled as she looked at Han Qing. “Then… President Han, what should I do? Miss Su, she…”
Han Qing shot her a cold glare. “Aren’t you the secretary’s assistant? You should come up with something during these times.”
What? Even though she was the secretary’s assistant, she was not that capable yet. “President Han, I’m too stupid. I really can’t think of anything right now. How about I give Miss Su a call and ask her what to do?”
Han Qing looked at her with a bleak expression like she was a good-for-nothing. The secretary’s assistant had actually understood Han Qing’s feelings. After such a big incident, he would have certainly wanted to go and comfort his own sister. Nonetheless, they were not in any ordinary setting; they were in a massive wedding hall! She was just a secretary’s assistant, what was she capable of?
As it was an urgent situation, she decided to call Miss Su. She did not care about the way Han Qing was looking at her. She grew a thick skin and pulled out her phone to dial Miss Su’s number. Once the call went through, she hid away to one side and asked Su Jiu, “Miss Su, President Han said he doesn’t want Miss Han to know about this and told me to figure something out. What should I do?”
Su Jiu was on her way back to the wedding venue. “That’s the tough part.” At a massive wedding with so many people in attendance, the worst part would be the media. Those media outlets focused purely on domestic affairs. If the groom does not show up after a long time, we can’t be sure what they would write. Moreover, to keep Miss Han in the dark about such a big issue… makes it even more tricky.
Su Jiu pondered for a while but she could not think of a good idea. “I can’t think of anything at the moment either. You should find a way to control the situation at the venue for now. I’ll handle the rest when I arrive. As for Miss Han… Arrange for her to take a rest in the lounge. Tell her that I’m still looking into Mr. Ye’s situation here. Also, make sure she doesn’t look at her phone. Tell Yan about the current situation and let her figure it out.”
The secretary’s assistant took in everything Su Jiu said and nodded her head firmly. It was no wonder she had been President Han’s secretary for so long. She was a lot more attentive and detail-oriented as she thought through problems. Despite knowing that the results could not be altered, she still did her best to maintain the current situation.
“I’ll get right on it.” The secretary’s assistant hung up and did as she was told.
However, she was quickly met with her first obstacle. Han Muzi did not want to go to the lounge. She wanted to wait in the hall no matter what.
The secretary’s assistant felt pressured by all the cameras and lights. Then, she quickly shot a look at Yan, who was next to Han Muzi.
Yan did not know what happened. As she was not part of it, she quickly understood what the secretary’s assistant had meant and proceeded to escort Muzi. “Your hair and makeup are slightly messy. Let’s go get you touched up.”
Han Muzi’s gaze shifted and she reached up to touch her face. “Messy?”
“Yeah, maybe the stylist didn’t do it properly.”
Han Muzi was speechless. How was that possible? She looked to her side at Yan. Yan had felt slightly ashamed to look into those innocent eyes and just let out, “I’m telling you the truth. You got some lipstick on the side there.”
Yan seized the chance when Han Muzi was not paying attention to rub off some of her own lipstick with her hand and put it on Han Muzi.
By the looks of it, it seemed like Yan was trying to wipe Han Muzi’s chin for her. But actually, Yan had smeared the lipstick that was on her finger there.
“See.” After that, Yan opened the camera on her phone. “The lipstick smeared. You must have done it by accident earlier.”
Han Muzi was speechless as she looked at herself in the camera. After a moment, she nodded her head. “Okay, I’ll quickly go backstage with you to fix this.”
When she finally cooperated, Yan let out a sigh of relief. While she escorted Han Muzi, she held the train of the dress as she walked in a different direction. “Be careful.”
The secretary’s assistant also let out a sigh of relief when she saw both of them slowly make their way backstage. Then, she went and dealt with the other matters.
As Yan brought Han Muzi to the back, she said, “Rest for a bit when you get there later. I’ll go find the stylist to touch up your make up for you.”
“There’s no need.” Han Muzi shook her head, refusing Yan’s request. “It’s just a smudge. I can fix this myself.”
“But…” Yan hesitated. “Can you do it yourself? After all, today is…”
“Exactly, today is my wedding day. So, as the bride, I can’t be gone for too long. I have to quickly fix this then head back out there. What if… Ye Moxuan arrives and doesn’t see me?”
Yan did not respond. At that moment, she did not know what to say anymore. After Yan escorted her backstage, Han Muzi went off to fix her own makeup, while Yan took the chance and snuck out. Just then, the secretary’s assistant rushed over nervously and waved at Yan from not too far away.
Yan did not know what was happening, so she just walked over. “What happened? Why did you want me to bring Muzi backstage? Did something happen?” Seeing the way things had unfolded, Yan slowly started to develop a bad feeling.
The secretary’s assistant looked helpless. “I didn’t have a choice either. Miss Su told me to do this, as something had happened to the plane that Mr. Ye was on. She is currently rushing back here.”
