Everyone was a little shocked as they stared at Shi Xiu. One second, this young lady was aggressively roasting people, and the next second, she was gentle and sweet.
As expected of a reporter from the number one unscrupulous tabloid press, Wang Wei immediately snapped back, âI heard you used to be a delinquent, and you eloped with someone when you were only fourteen. I also heard you took drugs and even had an abortion. I donât know how Director Yun found you, but you share some similarities with the movieâs protagonist. Itâs no wonder you can play the role so well; you just have to act like yourself. How long did it take you to memorize your sanctimonious speech?â
Shi Xiuâs expression immediately changed. She pointed at Wang Wei and challenged, âWhat did you say?! Would you like to repeat that?â
Yun Nan and Fang Xi held her back and whispered, âCalm down! Shi Xiu! Calm down!â
Yun Nan looked at Wang Wei, grabbed the microphone, and coldly stated, âAll of you heard what this gentleman just said, didnât you? Mr. Wang, we have the right to sue you for defamation!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Wei interpreted Shi Xiuâs expression as one of humiliated anger. He felt even more confident and pompously commented, âYouâre all adults, so you should know that everyone has to be responsible for their actions. If Miss Shi wanted to use the movie to make herself Imown to the public and start her life over with a clean slate, she should have thought about what would happen if her negative history was exposed! Director Yun should also have expected the consequences of using such a person!â
âThen, what are the consequences? What do you think will happen to Shi Xiu?â A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Yun Nan mentally heaved a great sigh. She hugged Shi Xiuâwho was crying from angerâand exchanged a glance with Fang Xi. At this moment, Fang Xi pitied Mr. Wang Wei, who was standing ramrod straight. âSome people really should learn the expression no zuo no die,â she thought.
Shi Nian adjusted the button of his suit jacket with one hand and strode onto the stage. He pulled Shi Xiu from Yun Nanâs arms into his and gently comforted her. âWhatâs with the waterworks? Thereâs no need to cry because whoever bullies you, your brother will bully them back for you.â Shi Xiu felt even more aggrieved and sobbed even louder.
At that moment, Wang Weiâs expression was quite interesting to watch. As a veteran paparazzi, he naturally knew who the man on the stage was. Right now, Shi Xiu was clinging and hiding in Shi Nianâs arms, and beside them was Yun Nan, the next target he was going to attack. â What was going on? he wondered. â Could it be that the two women are both his lovers? I guess a rich man can have multiple partners.â
Shi Nianâs gaze landed on the dumbstruck man, and he uttered in a deep voice, âWhat did you just say about my sister? Something about being a delinquent and eloping at the age of fourteen? Taking drugs and having an abortion?â
Wang Wei didnât dare to say a word. âHis sister? The one and only daughter of the Shi family?! Her name is Shi Xiu! Why didnât I realize it earlier? Her surname is Shi! How many people in the city had the surname Shi? He wanted to give himself two big slaps when he finally realized Shi Xiuâs identity.
Someone shoved him and smirked, âWang Wei, Chairman Shi asked you a question! Say something!â
âI bet theyâre all gloating at my misfortune!â Wang Wei silently fumed.
The crowd looked at Wang Wei with wicked glee. They finally got to see him get his just desserts. They never thought theyâd see the day Xinyan Press would receive its comeuppance. Hahahaha!
Wang Weiâs forehead was already covered in sweat. He could feel the oppressive aura rolling off Shi Nian, even from this distance. Wang Wei opened his mouth; he was so nervous that he stuttered as he tried to explain himself,
âChairman Shi, I-I didnât mean that. I-I didnât know Miss Shi Xiu is your
sister. â
âSo what youâre saying is, you can make up lies about me if Iâm not his sister?â Shi Xiu shrieked, so angry her entire body was trembling. She would have rushed over and kicked this rat-faced man if it werenât for her brother and sister-in-law.
Shi Nian put his arm around his sisterâs shoulders and curled his fingers to hold her shoulder, indicating she should calm down. He indifferently stated, âMr. Wang Wei, was it?â He turned to ask Yun Nan, âWhich press company does he belong to?â
âXinyan Press!â Yun Nan replied, glaring at Wang Wei. She had already imagined herself stomping on him ten thousand times in her mind.
Shi Nian nodded before addressing Wang Wei, âMay I ask what right you have to say such things about my sister? If you have evidence to prove your words, then show it to me. If you donât⦠then this matter wonât end so easilyâfrom now on, Xinyan Press and everyone in that company will disappear from the media industry.â
The other reporter from Xinyan Press that came to the movie premiere with
Wang Wei was also drenched in cold sweat. They hastily stood up and begged, âChairman Shi, this is a misunderstanding. Itâs a misunderstanding! Wang Wei likes to shoot his mouth off, spouting nonsenseââ
âOh?â Shi Nian sneered. âDo you take me for a fool, or do you think everyone here is a fool? What is there to misunderstand?â
Wang Weiâs colleague didnât dare to speak further..
