Ch 682: Final Chapter 5

The He Family couldn’t possibly collapse over such a trivial matter, and Shen Ran is also overestimating herself.

Wen Tiantian was silent for a moment, then told him: “Don’t worry, I won’t give Shen Ran any chance to hurt you.”

He Ci was deeply moved: “My sister has grown up.”

Wen Tiantian was amused and exasperated. At this moment, a pair of hands pressed against her waist, gently helping her relax her muscles. She turned her head and saw Gu Chujin looking down, his expression serious.

Wen Tiantian hung up the telephone, humming and muttering: “More pressure, uh-huh, right here…”

Gu Chujin worked tirelessly and without complaint. He was the one who had caused the trouble, so naturally he had to clean up the mess.

Wen Tiantian closed her eyes, her voice soft: “Shen Ran is going to hold a press conference, isn’t she? Then let’s give her a big gift. It’ll save us a lot of trouble. Humph, she’s so naive. I was worried about how to make a bigger fuss out of her actions, and she’s giving me the perfect opportunity.”

Don’t think she doesn’t know Shen Ran’s intentions; she just wants to annoy her.

Unfortunately…

In the end, it’s uncertain who will end up annoying whom.

Gu Chujin considerately said: “I’ll do as you say.”

Wen Tiantian smiled and started directing Gu Chujin to massage different areas.

…

On the day of the press conference, many media outlets flocked to the scene, while online platforms simultaneously streamed the event live.

Shen Ran, dressed simply, looked pale, as if she had suffered some inhumane treatment. Initially, everyone was just watching the drama unfold, but seeing someone so pathetic, they subconsciously felt sympathy.

What happened? How did it get to this point?

As soon as Shen Ran sat down, the pre-arranged reporters eagerly began to ask questions.

“Miss Shen, are the online rumors true? Did the He Family really illegally detain you?”

“Miss Shen, did you have some kind of grievance with the He Family? Otherwise, why would they detain you?”

“You said you have evidence. Where is the evidence?”

She immediately placed all the blame on the He Family.

A flash of malice in Shen Ran’s eyes quickly disappeared. She was about to follow her plan, feigning innocence before releasing the video, when a reporter shouted loudly.

“Miss Shen, why did you lead netizens to believe you had a relationship with Mr. Gu? Are you trying to steal Mr. Gu from Miss Wen? Are you shamelessly trying to be a mistress? If that’s the case, it’s understandable that the He Family wouldn’t give you a good reception.”

The reporters present were shocked.

Wow!

Which colleague is so sharp-tongued? This is too harsh! They didn’t leave any face for her, practically telling Shen Ran to her face, “You’re trying to be a mistress, yet you pretend to be an innocent lotus!”

The netizens watching the livestream instantly woke up.

【I think so too. If someone dared to interfere in my marriage with my husband, I’d consider myself merciful if I didn’t strip her naked and throw her into the streets.】

【A suspected mistress trying to interfere in someone’s marriage attending a banquet; no one would give her a good reception.】

【Could it be that Shen Ran wanted to disrupt the banquet, so the He Family took action? If they really detained her, would she be here looking so fine now?】

【Regardless, if she was indeed detained, that’s illegal, an infringement of personal freedom.】

【Netizens’ worldview is concerning; the He Family used extrajudicial punishment!】

Shen Ran’s face changed after hearing the reporter’s words, but she quickly regained her composure, “I…”

Before Shen Ran could continue, the reporter pressed further, “It is said that you have been pursuing Mr. Gu since your student days, but Mr. Gu never had any interest in you. Why didn’t you clarify the rumors at the time, instead letting them spread?”

Shen Ran was stunned; her rhythm was completely disrupted. She suppressed the anger in her eyes, her lips pale as she said, “I came back this time to focus on my career. I don’t want to have any relationship with Mr. Gu. It was just online rumors; the truth will prevail.”

Reporters: Oh…

Because she didn’t want to be involved, she didn’t clarify that you had no relationship? That doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

The reporter said coldly: “Are you sure you don’t want any relationship with Mr. Gu? If so, why did you get plastic surgery to look like Miss Wen?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar!

What?

Plastic surgery?

The reporters’ expressions were varied; it was clear by now that this reporter was targeting Shen Ran; this was premeditated.

Netizens were frantically spamming the barrage.

Shen Ran didn’t originally look like this? She specifically got plastic surgery to look like Wen Tiantian? Isn’t this obvious to everyone?

Shen Ran’s face darkened. She took a deep breath and said calmly, “I did pursue Mr. Gu during my student days, but I was just one of many. You can’t make malicious speculations just because I wasn’t successful. Is it wrong to like someone? It’s been so many years; I’ve already forgotten about it.”

“This matter ends here. Since I’ve forgotten this relationship, I ask certain people not to dwell on the past.”

Her gaze fell on the reporter: “My appearance was given to me by my parents. Without evidence, please don’t talk nonsense. As a reporter, I hope you’ll be responsible for your words.”

The reporter chuckled, not questioning further, but there was no displeasure in their eyes at being refuted, instead a hint of watching a good show.

Shen Ran frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but couldn’t put her finger on it. Perhaps she was just being overly cautious.

Pushing aside her unease, she continued: “I would like everyone to watch a video to prove that the He Family did indeed illegally detain me.”

The reporters, who had gone off-topic, finally became serious. They hadn’t forgotten their purpose, but the reporter’s previous questions had planted seeds of doubt in their minds.

They couldn’t help but wildly guess; was what that reporter said true or false?

If it was true, wasn’t that ridiculous? While seriously saying, “No, I don’t love him anymore,” she specifically got plastic surgery to look like someone else? Was she trying to use Wen Tiantian’s face to seduce Gu Chujin?

While everyone was brainstorming, Shen Ran’s assistant had already turned on the large screen.

All eyes were on the large screen when a vicious voice echoed throughout the press conference.

“He’s mine!!!”

Everyone was startled, staring dumbfounded at the image on the big screen.

In the video, a young, immature girl viciously pushed another girl down a flight of stairs.

“Chu Jin ge is mine, who gave you permission to look at him?!”

The girl who was pushed down lay on the ground, her face covered in blood. She said fearfully and anxiously,

“I didn’t, I didn’t!”

The vicious girl stepped on her hand, her voice filled with rage: “You looked at him! I’ll gouge out your eyes!”

The next scene made the reporters’ hearts pound and their hands and feet grow cold!

This is terrifying! Is this something a normal person could do?

And that girl is Shen Ran? These are completely different people!

Just because she glanced at Gu Chujin, she treated others this way.

Would anyone believe that this terrifying person is no longer interested in Gu Chujin?

This is intentional assault!

After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Ran’s breathing quickened. Her eyes were red as she looked at her assistant, her voice furious, “What is this? Turn it off now!!!”

“I, I…” The assistant panicked, trying to turn off the video, but found it impossible.

“No, the computer seems to be broken, it won’t work…”

Shen Ran’s eyes were bloodshot. The camera on the big screen had switched scenes. The video showed a young Shen Ran pushing a classmate while crossing the road, causing the classmate to be hit by a car.

The reporters were instantly stunned!

Oh my god, this is terrifying! My soul has been shattered!

The livestream room was silent; they couldn’t believe what they were seeing!

After being so vicious herself, does she have the nerve to blame the He Family?

Someone shouted, “Wow! This is murder?!”

The venue immediately erupted into chaos!

Shen Ran’s heart sank into hell. Why were these videos here? Where did they come from??? She had been very careful back then; how could there be any evidence left!!!

Shen Ran shrieked, “It’s fake! It’s all fake! Someone is trying to frame me!!”

The aggressive reporter suddenly shouted, “Wen Tiantian is live-streaming! Everyone, go watch!”

Hearing Wen Tiantian’s name, Shen Ran abruptly looked up, her eyes filled with malice.

It’s her!

It’s Wen Tiantian’s doing!
