The flashes immediately converged on Huang Youde, who was standing to the side.
The portly man had already received the money he wanted backstage and was happy to step forward and tell the truth, âThatâs right, I dropped my wallet, and Weiwei was just trying to tell me. In a moment of urgency, she just pulled me a bit. Iâm old enough to be her father, so letâs all stop spreading rumors and making Weiwei feel embarrassed. I donât understand how such outrageous news could be spread about me; itâs given me a huge headache.â
No sooner had he spoken than the reporters, like cats that had smelled fish, immediately began asking tricky questions, âMr. Huang, so is your scandal with Rong Yan true? Have you met your biological son? Do you plan to acknowledge your child?â
âYeah, whatâs your relationship with Rong Yan? Have you discussed who will have custody of the child in private? What does Rong Yanâs side say?â
Rong Weiwei watched as the reportersâ focus shifted from her to Rong Yan, her mouth curving into a barely noticeable smirk.
âThisâ¦â Huang Youde knew he had taken so much money from Rong Weiwei that he at least had to play along, so he immediately made a guilty gesture of touching his nose.
The reporters immediately began flashing their lights at him nonstop.
Seeing the reporters snapping photos, he hastily gestured them to stop, âPlease stop taking pictures. Iâm only here at the press conference to clarify the photos circulating online! All I can say is that I just happened to bump into Weiwei; please stop writing nonsense. I wonât respond to anything else!â
His act only made the reporters more interested.
One after another, with their cameras and mics trained on him, they asked, âMr. Huang, so you indeed had a child with Rong Yan, right? Have you been in contact with her privately?â
âWho decided who would take care of the child, you or Rong Yan? Were you in a sponsored relationship five years ago? Rong Yan has made a clarification in court, saying she has never been sponsored. How do you define your relationship with her five years ago? Were you dating or was it an extramarital affair?â
The reporters couldnât wait to shove their microphones in his face, incessantly saying, âMr. Huang, could you please respond?â
Other reporters chimed in, egging him on, âYeah, could you respond to our questions please?â
Sitting on the side, enjoying the role of todayâs main character, Rong Weiwei watched Huang Youde being besieged by reporters with sheer delight, as if seeing Rong Yanâs awkwardness brought her a breath of fresh air.
If it werenât for the many reporters present, she might have already burst out laughing.
She hadnât yet figured out what was going on with those photos, but Rong Yan shouldnât think she could turn the tables with just that set of pictures!
Just as the reporters were badgering Huang Youde, insisting he give some sort of response,
suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the press conference.
âGet out of the way! I want to go in!â
âIâm sorry, maâam, you canât go in. Please leave immediately!â
âMove!â
Huang Youde, in the midst of being bombarded by reporters, paused when he heard the voice at the door.
That voice wasâ¦
No way.
âIâm sorry, maâamâ¦â HuanYuâs security guards, sweating profusely, tried to keep the persistently intruding person outside.
But Qin Xiang wasnât alone; she had brought a crowd with her. Seeing the security guards refusing to give way, she scowled fiercely and shouted, âHold them back for me. I want to see who dares not let me in today!â
Her entourage clashed with HuanYuâs security guards, causing a ruckus.
The commotion at the entrance captivated all the reportersâ attention, making them forget to continue their inquiries about the relationship between Huang Youde and Rong Yan.
