Within the luxurious hall, the media was already gathered. Since they knew they were getting their hands on a piece of top news, they could barely contain their excitement.
3 pm. The press conference officially started as Mother Yu walked elegantly towards the stage and stood beside the podium. She slowly adjusted the microphone to a suitable height before speaking up, "I never thought I will be standing here one day to speak about my beloved daughter. But sometimes when things go out of your control, you will have to take necessary measures. And that's why I am here today," She wiped the lone teardrop that rolled down her cheek, "My husband and I are helpless. So, we could only come to you for the justice we are desperately seeking...."
The camera shutters began snapping like crazy as the reporters did not want to let go of the smallest detail about Leanne.
"Madam Yu, you don't need to hesitate in front of us."
"We will do our best to help you."
"Yes!! You don't need to fear anyone."
Right at this moment, two women settled on the chairs around one of the round tables placed in a corner.
"Why do I feel like I am a thief?" Shi Luo adjusted her round glasses as she looked around.
Yu Mei fiddled with the mask covering half of her face, "Nonsense. They are talking about me and we are here to be a good audience. It is that simple. What are you worried about?"
"....So, this is all that happened all these years. She would act promiscuously around men, drink, smoke, she did everything to go against the family rules and even ran away to become someone else's mistress..." There were gasps in the surroundings and Mother Yu tried her best to not smile, "She hid her real identity from us despite being loved and adored by the family. She never once listened to her biological mother's pleas nor did she respect my words. And till now, she is still walking down that path but as a mother, I can't bear to see this anymore. Everything has to be stopped either by coaxing or by force. She is my child, how can I bear to let her do all these things?" Her gentle voice resounded across the hall.
Shi Luo and Yu Mei exchanged glances, "What is her skin made of?" The former asked curiously.
The latter shook her head, "It is so thick."
"How can she do something like this?"
Mother Yu lowered her head to hide that smirk on her face.
"Why would she do something like this? President Leanne has got incomparable status and wealth. Even the Dream Entertainment fades when compared to the Empire of Rosette. Why would she stoop so low to be with a man? I don't understand why would she become a mistress or hover around other men..."
"Exactly my point."
"Do you think they are defaming her after she rose to fame?"
"They are her family."
"There are many schemes in such rich families..."
Mother Yu pursed her lips, "You think I will put false allegations against my daughter? If situations were not desperate, I would not have been here," She glanced at Daniel and Yu Yan who were standing below the stage, "Show it."
The reporters glanced at the both of them, recognizing them as the Young Master and Young Miss of Yu Family.
Did they have enough proof to support their claims?
Everyone had this question in their minds.
Daniel hesitated for a moment much to his mother's and sister's annoyance. Jun Zixuan's face flashed in his mind. He recalled the way they held hands in the Dean's office. His hesitation gradually disappeared as he took out a remote from his pocket before pressing a switch.
The lights in the hall turned off as the screen behind Mother Yu lit up revealing as a slideshow started up. Countless images flashed one by one as Yu Mei Zhen's unbearably scarred face and fat body came to the view. The picture was of her talking to various men, leaning against a man, there was a picture of her talking to what looked like a bunch of goons. As if it was not suggestive enough, there came another picture of the woman trying to kiss someone forcefully.
It was Zhu Boqin. Yu Mei narrowed her eyes when recognized the man in the slightly blurry picture. But then her gaze landed on something else. A man was standing beside the tree in the background of the picture and it was not difficult to recognize him. She tilted her head and glanced at Daniel's back. Something dawned on her and her eyes flashed.
Many such pictures flashed one by one and eventually came to her recent ones.
There was a picture of her standing with a man. Even though only their backs were visible, Yu Mei and Shi Luo could recognize the man in the picture with one glance. That striking ash blonde hair. Who else could it be other than Jun Zixuan?
Then there was a picture of her and a man who looked like he is in his early thirties. And one could see her blushing face in the picture and only the side profile of the decently handsome man was visible.
"When was this taken?"
Yu Mei frowned, "When I was going to Ren Mansion after two months of our fight. For Chinese classes from my baby..."
Shi Luo rolled her eyes. Where did she get the urge to adore Jun Zixuan at this moment?
"Now that I think about it, Zixuan was particularly handsome that day. Sigh...What a gorgeous man-"
"Point, Mei!"
The woman cleared her throat, "Well, Steward Gu was there to pick me up and he addressed me as Young Mistress all of a sudden. So, I was just...umm.."
"Shy?" Shi Luo asked as she looked at the woman who was turning a tomato even in the dark.
"Shut up!"
Shi Luo coughed.
Yu Mei patted her hot cheeks as the gears in her mind turned. It seemed like they had bribed some student to stalk her. And it seems like they have been doing it for years.
They were cautious around the previous owner too.
What a crazy bunch of people!
