My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 36 - Press Conference II

Hao Mei whose face was covered in tears wiped her face with the tissue that Qin Ju passed her. She slowly raised her head and took the mic.

She sniffled before speaking in a choked voice, " I...I never thought that Sister Yue could do this. I have always respected her and loved her dearly. No doubt, she was so talented but...I can't believe that she used such methods to reach on top.".

" She deserved better than that Lin Hui." Her voice grew deeper as she continued, " I have seen her a few times with Lin Hui alone, even though they always claimed to be friends, there was something amiss between them."

" Now I understand why Lin Hui always brought endorsement offers for her and not other members. He was trying to lure her with such offers and was using her. Sister Jiang Yue is innocent. Lin Hui is the one at fault, he is the one who took advantage of her. I hope wherever Sister Jiang Yue is, will rest in peace and will not feel burdened by the thoughts of people who are blaming her." She sobbed after saying her words.

Even though she seemed to take Jiang Yue's side but her words were hinting that everything was true and Jiang Yue was using Lin Hui to reach on top.

The whispering among the reporters increased, as they started to type on their laptop at high speed, wanting to post the news before others.

" Hao Mei! What the hell are you saying? Are you even thinking before speaking? How can you say that Lin Hui was giving her special attention? It was the companies who were offering to work with Jiang Yue, it's not Lin Hui's fault that they weren't inviting you to be their endorser."

" He was just doing his job as a manager. He was not the one giving offers to Jiang Yue but it was the companies that wanted to work with her. You should either blame them or yourself for not being attractive enough, there is no reason for you to blame him." Jia Wei who was sitting silent all this while lost it hearing her words.

After Jiang Yue's death, she started to feel uncomfortable around Hao Mei. Her attitude started to irk her but it was because of Luo Dan's positive thinking that she tried to not think wrong of Hao Mei.

However, her meaningful words made her lose her temper. Rather than helping, her words were making the situation worse and Jiang Yue's reputation was on the verge of falling apart.

Luo Dan was also surprised to see Jia Wei's burst out. However, unlike other times, she didn't stop her. She was also uncomfortable after hearing Hao Mei's words, however, unlike Jia Wei, she does not have the guts to shout at Hao Mei in front of others.

Hao Mei pursed her lips and looked at Jia Wei with displeasure as she hated the way she was talking to her. She was shouting at her in front of all the reporters and was insulting her.

Qin Ju's expressions darkened as well seeing the way she was bullying Hao Mei.

" Jia Wei! Mind your words, you have already left the company but Hao Mei is still part of QY Entertainment. Don't try to ruin her reputation just because you have left and have no relationship with the company." He said in a deep voice while trying to be righteous.

" Hah! I am ruining her reputation? And what was she doing? She was accusing Lin Hui of favoritism and Jiang Yue for using underhanded means to climb the steps in the industry. You know how talented Jiang Yue was, it was because of her ideas and hard work that QY Entertainment reached this height. And now you're blaming her for using unfair means? Do you think that since she is no more, you can ruin her reputation to get what you want? Disgusting!" Jia Wei didn't care about her goddess image anymore.

She has left the company anyway. What can happen to her? A few more scandals? Cursing, hate comments? She doesn't care about it anymore. She would be satisfied to leave the company after slapping this bastard.

" Jia Wei!" Luo Dan shouted when she saw Jia Wei losing out. Even though Jia Wei is a year older than her, they don't use formalities and are very close.

All the reporters were taking her pictures and she knows what kind of articles they publish about Jia Wei.

She stood up and turned to Jia Wei who was angrily looking at Qin Ju and Hao Mei.

She calmly looked at her and said, " Stop it. There is no use of barking back at dogs. They aren't worth your attention. You know that Jiang Yue didn't do anything, and I know about it. It's useless to prove others who don't want to believe the truth but the fake gossips.

" Don't waste your breath on them." She said calmly while patting her arm and turned to Hao Mei.

" Hao Mei, I wish you a 'successful' life ahead. Since Jiang Yue is not here anymore, and we are also leaving, I hope you can achieve the 'goals' that you couldn't achieve because of us. You said that it was because of Jiang Yue who received more attention and got all the offers, right? I hope you can replace her. Since you think you're more capable than Jiang Yue, I want you to prove everyone wrong and show what 'music' you can make. I will be happy if you managed to 'prove' yourself to everyone." she smiled mildly while looking at Hao Mei. However, the usual warmth in her eyes was replaced by the coldness and emptiness.

.

Jia Wei was surprised to see Luo Dan speaking like this. She has always been calm and understanding among the four. However, her words might seem encouraging to some but she knew how angry she was.

She was looking down on Hao Mei and was provoking her to prove herself with her work and not blame others. She was a sarcastic queen who could kill the enemy with her politeness.

Hao Mei's expressions stiffened hearing her words. Luo Dan was challenging her to prove everyone with her music because by now, it was Jiang Yue who was writing their songs and was preparing everything for their albums.

Hao Mei was also a vocalist and rapper in the group, but she was average in both and it was because of Jiang Yue's positioning that she was able to gain so much attention. Even Jia Wei writes her own rap, it was only Hao Mei who got everything ready-made.

Hao Mei gritted her teeth and glanced at the reporters and saw them whispering. Just as she was about to say something, the screen behind them suddenly lit up startling everyone.

Her expressions turned green seeing the things on the display.
