Chapter 40
Accident at the Press Conference
After returning to the hotel, Sun Xiao finally couldn’t help but ask Lu Zhen softly, “Sister Zhen Zhen, why did you…”
Lu Zhen knew what she wanted to say. After all, what she had just done was out of character. She rarely talked to strangers.
“You’ll find out later,” Lu Zhen said without much explanation.
After a night’s rest, the next day was the press conference. Lu Zhen received a call from Wu Yu early in the morning. On the phone, Wu Yu repeatedly reminded Lu Zhen to explain that the audio that had been released previously was fake and that her sister was very close to her. In the end, she would take more photos with Lu Rou in front of the reporters to show how close they were.
After the call was hung up, Sun Xiao was furious. “I’ve never met anyone so shameless!”
After putting on makeup and a custom-made gown, Lu Zhen rushed to the press conference with Sun Xiao. Many reporters had already arrived at the press conference. When they saw Lu Zhen, they immediately took pictures with their cameras.
After the press conference was over, Lu Zhen walked onto the stage and adjusted the microphone herself. Then, she smiled at the reporters below.
The reporters got the signal and immediately began asking questions.
“May I ask if it’s true that you and Miss Lu Rou don’t get along?”
“Is the audio real or fake?”
“If Miss Lu Rou had any intention of harming you, would you hold her responsible?”
“I heard the two of you are in the same cast. Is this to hype up the new show?”
…
The media questions came one after another, none of them easy to answer. Lu Zhen didn’t answer the questions directly. She just smiled faintly, her eyes filled with sadness and helplessness.
Today, Lu Zhen wore a light blue gown and very plain makeup. Even her lipstick was very light, which made her look innocent and fragile. It was as if she was very sad and tired because of recent events.
“Thank you all for your concern about this matter. As everyone knows, Lu Rou is my sister. Even though we aren’t biological sisters, we have a deep relationship. She is young and has gone down the wrong path for a moment. This also makes me very sad. I hope everyone will stop pursuing this matter and give Lu Rou a chance to change her ways. I believe she will prove herself with her actions.”
Lu Zhen’s words were very informative. On the one hand, she indicated that she and Lu Rou weren’t biological sisters, and Lu He and Wu Yu weren’t her biological parents, so it was likely that she was the one at a disadvantage in this matter. On the other hand, she implied that Lu Rou had made a mistake, which meant that the audio incident wasn’t false.
Understanding appeared in the eyes of the reporters.
The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Zhen didn’t give them a chance. She put on a very tired look and turned away.
Lu Rou, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, saw Lu Zhen’s explanation and immediately jumped up in anger. “She’s such a b*tch. Is this an explanation? She’s framing me! B*tch, I’m going to kill her!”
Lu Rou turned around to run out. At this moment, she wanted to tear Lu Zhen apart. She didn’t expect Lu Zhen to dare to say such things at the press conference. How dare she?!
At the press conference, Lu Zhen was about to leave the stage when a man in a white suit suddenly walked over with a bouquet of lilies in his hand. The man had a gentlemanly smile on his face and looked at Lu Zhen with gentleness in his eyes.
Lu Zhen saw Jin Zhan and her heart sank. What was this man going to do?
Jin Zhan walked towards Lu Zhen confidently. As soon as he went on stage, he took Lu Zhen’s hand and gently leaned close to her ear. He whispered, “Baby, what happened previously was my fault. Today, I’ll announce our relationship and let everyone know that you’re my woman. In the future, I won’t let you suffer anymore!”
Lu Zhen gasped. She glared at Jin Zhan. What was wrong with this man?!
Jin Zhan looked at Lu Zhen with tenderness in his eyes.
Jin Zhan had never been dumped by a woman before. Since Lu Zhen had a tough attitude, he could only use force. When their relationship was made public, Lu Zhen would not be able to break up with him!
Lu Zhen was really anxious at this moment. She didn’t predict Jin Zhan’s move. If Jin Zhan really did so, things would be bad for her!
Lu Zhen looked behind the reporter and suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Song Jia. Lu Zhen couldn’t think about anything else at this moment. She looked at Song Jia to give him a pleading look.
But before Lu Zhen could give Song Jia a look, Song Jia had already come to Lu Zhen with a bouquet of flowers.
