Chapter 76: Loyal Little Sidekick
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the Ji Corporation, a large number of reporters were quietly waiting for Ji Jingchen’s arrival.
Moments later, CEO Ji’s black Rolls-Royce stopped at the door. Dozens of cameras were aimed at the car door, ready for any moment.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door. The first person to get out was not Ji Jingchen, but a woman. Ji Jingchen then got out after her. Accompanied by the clicking sound of the shutter, he pulled Du Jiuyuan into the building.
This was the first time that he didn’t mind the presence of the reporters. Cameras were shooting continuously, and it was best to let everyone in Hong Kong City know that Du Jiuyuan was Ji Jingchen’s woman. Although Du Jiuyuan was suspicious, Ji Jingchen didn’t care. In Hong Kong City, without Ji Jingchen’s approval, no media would dare to publish his news.
The press conference went very smoothly. Du Jiuyuan sat in a corner, feeling bored as reporters were all busy interviewing Ji Jingchen. After all, such opportunities were rare.
A young reporter who had just entered the field was very sharp. As she could not squeeze forward to ask questions, she fixed her eyes on Du Jiuyuan.
“Umm hello, can I ask you a few questions?” The reporter pretended to be at the scene for the first time and spoke very cautiously.
Du Jiuyuan understood what she meant. The reporter must have noticed her as she got out of Ji Jingchen’s car. Now, the reporter was here to pry her mouth for some information.
“Hi there, I won’t ask any tricky questions. This is my first time at the scene. Can you help me?” The female reporter saw that Du Jiuyuan didn’t reply, and she was afraid that she would reject her.
Du Jiuyuan was moved by the girl. She didn’t care whether what the reporter said was true or not. She nodded without hesitation. If what the reporter said was true, her actions this time would warm the reporter’s whole life.
“What’s your relationship with CEO Ji?” The girl had a harmless expression. She reminded Du Jiuyuan of Luoluo.
Luoluo was like this. She always has her own protective look.
“We’re in a partnership. I’m his stylist.” Du Jiuyuan’s tone was already a little cold.
She originally thought that this reporter was a little white rabbit who had gone astray, but in reality, she was a big bad wolf in sheep’s clothing. The questions she asked were indeed not tricky at all, but rather, they hit the nail on the head. Wasn’t she just trying to dig up some scandals about Ji Jingchen?
“Really?” The female reporter’s face was full of disbelief.
“If you don’t believe me, then you shouldn’t have asked me. If you don’t believe what I said, then we have no reason to continue this conversation.” Du Jiuyuan directly rejected the reporter.
The female reporter still wanted to pretend, but Ji Jingchen had already ended the press conference and directly took Du Jiuyuan away.
“Hmph, you still claim to be his stylist? No one will believe you!” The reporter was so angry that she stomped her feet when she saw that her plan was ruined.
After the press conference, a business banquet was held. When Ji Jingchen appeared with Du Jiuyuan, everyone looked at him curiously. Ji Jingchen didn’t let go of Du Jiuyuan’s hand. Instead, he held her hand and carried a simple discussion with a few business bigwigs. No one dared to directly ask Ji Jingchen about Du Jiuyuan’s identity.
Many women hated Du Jiuyuan and tacitly acknowledged that she was Ji Jingchen’s woman. Many people attended Ji Jingchen’s wedding and recognized her, but no one openly discussed this matter.
Du Jiuyuan did not like such an environment, so she found an excuse to go to the bathroom.
As soon as she left, Ji Yanchen ran out of nowhere. “My dear brother, why did you bring that woman here?”
Ji Jingchen swept a cold glare at him. Ji Yanchen immediately cowered. “Brother, you look handsome today!”
“My wife did the styling,” Ji Jingchen said without hesitation as if he had already won Du Jiuyuan back.
Ji Yanchen’s face was full of black lines. ‘I’m sorry, my dear brother. I’ve really disturbed you.’
“Brother, the two of you are divorced and separated. It’s not appropriate to call her that!” Ji Yanchen said slowly, not convinced.
Previously, he clearly saw that it was Du Jiuyuan who had chased after his brother. Now, it was his brother who had fallen into the whirlpool of love and was chasing after her instead.
Ji Jingchen was not angry. Instead, he thought that Du Jiuyuan would be unhappy if she heard it, so he said in a low voice, “Don’t tell her.”
It seemed that his brother was enjoying his words. Ji Yanchen suddenly felt that it was time for him to disperse. His dearest brother was simply a man who forgets others at the sight of a woman, even his own brother. However, Jin Yanchen could not bear to leave Ji Jingchen alone.. Thus, he followed Ji Jingchen loyally like a follower.
