Zheng Xiu walked up to Yun Liu and gently hugged her. “I’m sorry you had to go through all that, dear.” Yun Liu burst into tears. She’d never suffered such grievances in the Yun family.
A group of reporters had mobbed Yun Nan at the studio, firing rapid questions at her.
“Director Yun, I heard that Shi Xiu and Gu Fei have an illegitimate child. Is that true?”
“Director Yun! Shi Xiu hasn’t shown up in public for a while now. Is she busy filming, or is she pregnant?”
“There’s no need to be so mysterious if she’s filming, right? Shi Xiu hasn’t appeared in public for several months now. That isn’t normal!”
“There have been rumors that Gu Fei and Shi Xiu are in a relationship and that Gu Fei is deeply in love with Shi Xiu. Is Shi Xiu keeping their relationship quiet because she’s afraid it will affect her career? That’s being irresponsible to her fans!”
“That’s right! She denied it so firmly before, but they secretly have a child!”
“Director Yun, why haven’t the Shi family arranged a wedding ceremony for you and Shi Nian? Is it because Shi Xiu is pregnant and can’t make an appearance?”
“Director Yun, Shi Xiu and Gu Fei even have a child together, so why did the Shi family still not agree to her marriage with Gu Fei? Did you guys think that the Gu family wasn’t worthy enough? Then, what now?”
“Director Yun, I heard that Gu Fei and the Xi family’s young miss, Xi Feng, are an item. What’s up with that?”
“Could it be that Gu Fei cheated on Shi Xiu while she was pregnant?”
“Director Yun!”
“Director Yun!”
Yun Nan took a deep breath amidst all the racket and imagined how Fang Xi would control her emotions if she were in her shoes. Yun Nan silently told herself, ‘You can’t be angry or anxious. You must keep calm.’
Beside her, Lu Hui was so angry that her entire body was trembling, and she loudly raged, “Call the police! Call the police! Where’s our legal counsel?
Lawyer! We need a lavvyer here to collect evidence!”
The noise of the media reporters drowned out her voice. Yun Nan finally got hold of a microphone. She tapped the mic , and the sound waves that action caused cut through the media reporters’ din.
Yun Nan held the microphone and raised her voice to say, “Can everyone please listen to me quietly?” Everyone finally quieted down.
Yun Nan swept her gaze across the crowd. “I’ve strung together everyone’s questions just now and worked out the complete storyline: Miss Shi Xiu and Mr. Gu Fei were unable to get married due to the difference in their family status, so they got pregnant out of wedlock. Shi Xiu hid her pregnancy and gave birth to their illegitimate child under the guise of filming, and Gu Fei cheated on Shi Xiu with Miss Xi Feng during Shi Xiu’s pregnancy. Is that what you guys are trying to say?”
Everyone was silent. Yun Nan nodded and gestured to Lu Hui. ‘Write this down and send it to our top screenwriters. Have them write a melodramatic story about the love and hate between two wealthy families. Then, we’ll find a stupid investor with too much money to invest and film it. We’ll use actors with the biggest fanbase and traffic to act it out for our most brainless audience.”
Someone within the crowd indignantly called out, “How eloquent of you to scold and call us fools without using a single curse word, Director Yun!”
“What are you talking about?” Yun Nan replied. “I didn’t scold anyone. Isn’t that the story you told me? You guys were talking about it all at once that I didn’t even have the chance to explain. Let me put it another way: Would you guys believe me if I explained?”
She continued, “People will believe what they want to believe. As for the truth, do you guys even care? Shi Xiu is miles away, and with just your imagination and tongues, you made her out to be a woman who got pregnant out of wedlock. I just want to ask, Do you guys have any evidence?”
Before anyone could say anything, Yun Nan stated, “I know what you guys will say: If Shi Xiu didn’t have a child out of wedlock, then we must produce the evidence to prove it. However, everyone here has forgotten that, according to the law, it’s the ones who raised contention that have to prove such contention by providing proper evidence, not the other way around. You all said that Shi Xiu was pregnant with an illegitimate child. Where is the evidence? Is there any evidence?”
“You all wagged your tongues and pushed Shi Xiu into the abyss without evidence. You all should be ashamed! You guys work in the media, after all. Aren’t you letting down the trust of thousands upon thousands of viewers out there with such unscrupulous behavior?”
The smile on Yun Nan’s face had already disappeared, and her expression became stern. “For everyone to jointly come to Yun Innovations and gather into a crowd to condemn Shi Xiu shows that you all received the same information. It’s been commonplace for people to slander and discredit us since Yun Innovations’ establishment, but you all better go back and check. Have Yun Innovations lost any of our lawsuits?”
“We never lost a single lawsuit because we have a clear conscience; honest and upright folks like us have nothing to fear, and I never compromise with those with malicious intentions. Everyone here today will indiscriminately receive a lavvyer’s letter from Yun Innovations. I won’t let anyone who spreads rumors and slanders others off!”
Yun Nan’s words made some media reporters fly into a humiliated rage. “Are you trying to make enemies of us all, Director Yun? What we do is news, so of course, we have to verify things with the parties involved in the first instance. What’s wrong with that? If the info we have isn’t the truth, then Director Yun should call Shi Xiu out to meet with the audience and her fans, and the rumors will naturally fall apart..”
