Chapter 86: The show is getting much better and better
Nobody uttered a word.
Liu Hai said, âI hope you are all now ashamed of calling yourselves the âmediaâ. They use their voice to shed truth not defame innocent people. Your so-called verification didnât prove anything. But our evidence did.â
He narrowed his eyes dangerously, âAll of you. Be prepared for getting court summons at your doorstep. Every one of you, I will sue every one of you.â
All the reporters panicked. They sweated hard. Especially the female reporter.
He smiled at Nana, âSee. I was so cool, wasnât I? Better than Liling right? Donât give her the full credit for getting the evidence. I was the major finder of all. So, why donât you leave Jianyu and think about my Jing?â
Everybody was speechless.
Nanaâs mouth twitched. The twins looked at him like he was an alien.
Liling wanted to faint. Brother! This is not the time to covet her to your side.
You never give up, now do you Uncle?, Jianyu thought.
What!? So Nana is not only chosen for the Chen family to be their daughter-in-law but also by the Liu family? She has the support of Liu Hai too!?
We are screwed!
Amidst all the commotion, a woman nervously came in front.
Tang Suyin? What is the ex-girlfriend doing here? This show is getting better and better!
Everybody saw her and went silent.
Chen Liling narrowed her eyes, âWhat are you doing here?â
âI-I have to say something.â, she said fidgeting her fingers.
âGo on.â
âI would like to apologize. It was a mistake on my part. I had Nanaâs background information and o-one of the maid in my house accidentally got it while cleaning. She babbled it to one of her friends who was a paparazzi, and thatâs how it got leaked to the media. Iâm so so sorry. It was all my fault.â
She couldnât come up with anything other than this lame lie to protect herself.
Everybody was stunned. This raised several questions.
âMiss Tang. Perhaps it was not accidental but on purpose? Maybe you are jealous of Miss Nana that she is dating Mr. Chen Jianyu?â
âDid you purposely investigate Miss Nana to use it against her?â
âYou broke up but is it possible that you still have feelings for Mr. Chen Jianyu?â
âDid you do this to antagonize the Chenâs towards Miss Nana?â
âDo you want to be back with Mr. Chen Jianyu, and thatâs why you plotted to eliminate Miss Nana from his life?â
The situation overturned in a matter of minutes. Now Suyin faced the barrage of questions, the camera flashes, and all the mikes surrounded her.
âNo-noâ¦itâs a misunderstanding. Jianyu and I are only friends now. As a friend, I was simply concerned, so I did a background check. I meant no harm.â, she turned to Nana and put on a distressed face, âNana, Iâm really really sorry.â
Nana didnât say anything.
Liu Hai yawned seeing her acting.
Chen Liling simply smiled mockingly.
Jianyu kept quiet.
âHeh! The ex is the cause of all this and she says it is a mistake? I bet she did that on purpose.â
âSuch an evil woman.â
âShe is merely an ex now. What gives her the right to interfere?â
âShe should behave like an ex and stop bothering them.â
The same neighbors who criticized Nana were now targeting Suyin.
Suyin heard all the neighbors gossiping and clenched her dress. She gritted her teeth hearing them call her a mere ex.
âSo, are you saying that you donât object to their relationship?â, a reporter asked.
She tried to smile, âYes. They have my blessings.â
âPerfect. Because I have an announcement to make.â, Chen Liling said.
Everybody paid full attention.
âNext month at Chenâs celebration banquet, Chen Guiren and I are officially going to announce Jianyu and Nanaâs engagement.â
What!?
Suyinâs reaction was priceless. They are going to beâ¦engaged? Her face cracked in disbelief. Some of them managed to catch her reaction.
âThat ex looks so shocked. See! I told you she is just acting.â
âYou seem astonished Miss Tangâ¦â
âH-huh? No of course not. Itâs such good news.â
Some snickered.
Nana and the twins widened their eyes.
Huh? Engagement? So soon?
The reporters were restless and wanted to ask more but Liu Hai interrupted,
âAlright alright, everything is done. The entertainment is over. You all can leave nowâ
The reporters reluctantly started to leave.
ââ¦and wait for your court summons.â, he cruelly added in the last.
Chen Guiren silently nodded.
All of them stiffened.
F*ck. We are dead!
Damn it. Who was it who gave us such half, incomplete information? I will kill him!
One after the other all the reporters left. The neighbors dispersed too. They didnât want to get in any trouble from them. In fact, they decided to suck up to Nana from today. She knew the two most prominent families after all and she was getting married into one!
Suyin also quietly tried to leave going unnoticed.
Liu Hai smiled, âWhere are you going, dear? Wonât you come inside?â
âTrying to escape, are we?â, Chen Liling mocked.
She gulped. âN-no, of course not.â
Liu Hai cutely said, âHehe, Nana. Since I have already come here, wonât you make a delicious breakfast for me?â
She chuckled and nodded. She felt so blessed having so many caring people on her side, who didnât mind her past.
The twins looked at each other and nodded.
âUmâ¦â
âYes?â, they all looked at them.
They bowed and said, âWe wanted to thank all of you. You supported our Nee-chan. We are her brothers but couldnât protect her.â, they felt like crying.
Jianyu smiled, âYou did a fine job. Itâs hard for children to go against their parents. But you never left her side. Not then, not now. She must be proud of having both of you beside her, right Nana?â
Nana cried and nodded vigorously.
Liu Hai hugged them too, âYoung lads, boys donât cry. Let me try to cheer you up. Do you want me to introduce some hot chicks to you?â, he winked.
Everybody coughed.
The twins twitched their eyebrows. ââ¦No, thank you.â
