Chapter 501: 400 Xiaofeng’s Verbal Battle with Reporters_3
Speaking of which, Xiaofeng brought up another matter, "Lin Jing said that I hold a grudge against Luo Yuzhu for not taking me to the Lin Family, which is why I harbor resentment against Luo Yuzhu, and in retaliation, I shattered her family into pieces. Now she can only wander aimlessly, and then she ended up in the Imperial Capital looking for a job to sustain herself. If I’m not mistaken, the clothes Miss Lin is wearing must cost thousands, and even her shoes are this year’s new style, also not cheap."
At this point, she laughed, "I’m just puzzled. Miss Lin proclaims she’s so poor that she can barely survive, only to come to the Imperial Capital to make a living, yet she wears expensive clothes. Could it be that Miss Lin was spouting nonsense in front of the reporters, and you’re not actually at the brink of being unable to survive? Or is it that someone gave Miss Lin money, for her to deliberately slander me in front of so many media friends?"
Xiaofeng’s previous statements were all about clearing her name, of course, but the most crucial point was the twist in the last sentence.
Indeed, Miss Lin had said in the newspapers that she had been so hungry she could hardly eat. How is it that upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, she appears so well-dressed, not at all like someone struggling to make a living?
Lin Jing felt puzzled.
Was there something wrong with her clothes today? The clothes she wore today, along with the shoes, had been sent over by Miss Xu.
These were gifts from Miss Xu; even if they were designer brands and expensive, what of it?
Hearing Xiaofeng’s last remark, Lin Jing subconsciously retorted, "These were given to me by Miss Xu. Miss Xu is kind-hearted, giving me such nice things. Am I not supposed to wear them?"
Xu Xuezi’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Jing’s words.
Indeed, in the next second upon noticing Xiaofeng’s gaze shifting toward her with some confusion, she heard, "Miss Xu, I know you have a big problem with me marrying Ye Cheng. I didn’t expect that to deal with me, you would bring in Lin Jing to slander me in front of so many journalists. Miss Xu, being the young lady of the Xu Family, you represent the Xu Family’s reputation. How can you let someone make such baseless and irresponsible accusations? Don’t you know that defamation is a criminal offense?"
After saying this, Xiaofeng handed the microphone back to the journalists, her face always wearing a slight smile, "Thank you. I have finished speaking. If there are any questions, you can directly ask Miss Xu or Lin Jing. Thank you, everyone."
Everyone watching Su Xiaofeng’s maneuver gave her full marks in their minds.
Why so? Because Miss Su was clear-headed, articulate, and reasonable, leaving no room for refutation.
Thinking back to Miss Lin’s statements, indeed, they were full of holes, not standing up to scrutiny at all.
Just as Xiaofeng was about to go inside, Ye Cheng’s car arrived.
As the discordant screech of brakes rang out, everyone’s gaze turned toward the car.
Seeing the long legs emerging from the car and the breathtakingly stunning figure of Young Master Gu, the journalists forgot what they were supposed to ask, merely staring at the new arrival.
Ye Cheng came directly to Xiaofeng, and upon arrival, took her hand, intertwining their fingers intimately.
Xu Xuezi watched this scene, her eyes reddening instantly.
He wouldn’t tolerate other women getting close, yet he could be so intimate with her.
Was it glaring? Exceedingly so.
Lin Jing watched Ye Cheng approach and was also taken aback.
This was the Ye Cheng from before, compared to the man from the small county town. Standing here, it was impossible to overlook his presence.
He was like a king, ruling over all, with everyone else seeming insignificant.
But his eyes, from the moment he arrived, never glanced at anyone else. From start to finish, he only had eyes for one person, and that person was Su Xiaofeng.
Bearing witness to this fact made Lin Jing feel very uncomfortable.
Su Xiaofeng, you’re just a bit luckier than others.
"Wife, what happened here? Why are there so many reporter friends around?" Ye Cheng pretended not to know what had transpired and asked softly.
"They are not here to interview me; they have questions for Miss Xu and Miss Lin," Xiaofeng replied softly.
"And here I thought they were here for our wedding," Ye Cheng’s eyebrows lifted as he said, "It so happens that all you reporters are here, I have something to announce: my wedding with this Miss Su Xiaofeng is set for the 5th of May. On that day, I hope reporter friends will honor us with your presence; the Gu Family welcomes you."
The Gu Family’s wedding was originally not open to the media. Now that it was open, it was certainly a big deal for the reporters, who all expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master Gu, we will surely come on that day."
Young Master Gu inviting them over surely meant he wanted them to cover the wedding details.
"Thank you reporter friends. Remember to come early for the wedding candies," Xiaofeng also said with a smile.
Ye Cheng, holding Xiaofeng’s hand: "Since there’s nothing relating to us here, let’s go inside, so we don’t disturb the reporter friends from interviewing Miss Xu and the others."
"I was thinking the same," said Xiaofeng.
Chu Qing watched as Ye Cheng and Xiaofeng talked and laughed as if nothing was amiss and entered the house; there was also a smile on her face.
How should I put it, Xiaofeng’s composure surprised me.
Even Xiaonian, faced with such a situation, would definitely not be able to control her emotions, not to mention thinking so quickly on her feet.
But Xiaofeng managed it.
From beginning to end, she was calm and collected; confident and in control—with a demeanor that suggested she could command the attention of the room.
Watching Ye Cheng and Xiaofeng go inside, Chu Qing also entered.
The reporter friends, seeing that the concerned parties had entered, turned their microphones towards Miss Xu, clever as they were: "Miss Xu, does that mean Miss Lin Jing was specially invited by you from Xijiang County? Did you bring Miss Lin Jing all the way here to smear the Young Madam Gu? Are you still harboring bitterness over not being able to become Mrs. Gu yourself?"
"Miss Lin, may I ask how you came here from Xijiang County? Were you picked up by the Xu Family, or did you come on your own? And how much money did the Xu Family give you?"
One sharp question after another, almost enough to make the listener’s blood boil.
Of course, Xu Xuezi couldn’t answer these questions. She understood quite clearly that once she opened her mouth, certain things wouldn’t be defensible even if there was a justification.
She put on her sunglasses and said to Xiao’ou, "Xiao’ou, let’s go."
Those reporters are really annoying, buzzing around like flies.
"Miss Lin, are the clothes you are wearing really gifts from Miss Xu?"
Lin Jing, hearing these questions from the reporters, dared not answer carelessly; she followed behind Xiao’ou, not daring to respond any further.
These reporters had just been calling her Miss Su, but as soon as Young Master Gu arrived, they immediately switched to addressing her as Mrs. Gu.
Obviously, they were sycophants.
A bunch of sycophants, not worthy of being called reporters.
