At this moment, Ouyang Hao must be busy with public relations. What good will it do to call him? It would only add to his troubles. Just as Lin Yixun was at a loss, a commotion arose outside the hospital room.
"Xiao Xun, why is it so noisy outside?"
"Mom, I’ll go take a look." Lin Yixun stood up and walked toward the door.
Through the glass door of the hospital room, Lin Yixun saw a large group of reporters surrounding the entrance. The doctors and nurses were negotiating with them, but there were too many reporters for them to be of any use.
Lin Yixun quickly locked the hospital room door and looked worriedly at her mother lying in the bed not far away, her heart full of concern.
She had long been aware of how terrible these reporters could be. If they found out about her mother’s existence, who knows what kind of waves it would cause.
"Xiao Xun, what’s going on outside?"
"Mom, it’s just a medical dispute. It has nothing to do with us."
"Oh... These days, some patients’ families really aren’t very reasonable." Lin’s mother nodded, paused, and then said, "How come Xiao Ou didn’t come today?"
Lin Yixun’s face changed slightly as she dodged the question, "He’s at work."
"Working during the New Year? Doesn’t he have a few more days off?"
"His job is special. When he needs to work overtime, he just has to, even on public holidays." Lin Yixun had lied to her mother, saying Ouyang Hao was a businessman.
"That must be tough, but it’s good for young people to be ambitious."
Having passed the questioning, Lin Yixun let out a long sigh of relief. Just then, Ouyang Hao called. Lin Yixun walked to the balcony and pressed the answer button.
"Yixun, are you okay?"
Lin Yixun glanced at the reporters outside the hospital room and said in a low voice, "There are a lot of reporters at the hospital."
"Wait there, I’m coming over right now!"
"No, you don’t need to! They’re here because of us. If you don’t show up, the reporters will naturally disperse. If you come to the hospital for me, it will only fuel the fire. Just explain to the media that we’re just ordinary friends, and this will pass."
The other side of the line fell silent. After a long pause, the man spoke, "Yixun, I will handle this. I won’t let you or your mother get hurt, believe me."
To resolve this matter, Ouyang Hao urgently arranged a press conference. The conference was held that afternoon, and major news media showed up at the scene. The reporters seized this rare opportunity to dig deeper.
"Mr. Ouyang, are you currently dating Miss Lin Yixun?"
Behind the microphone, Ouyang Hao smiled slightly and calmly said, "We are not in a relationship yet, but I am pursuing her."
"As Mr. Ouyang said, you are pursuing Miss Lin Yixun. What do you think of her past? It is said she is the ex-wife of Mr. Leng Yixiu, has worked as a dancer in nightclubs, and has had numerous entanglements with many men."
"Everyone has their past. I believe you also know about my past. In comparison, I don’t think my past is any more glorious than Lin Yixun’s. If there must be someone unworthy in our relationship, then that unworthy person is me."
As soon as Ouyang Hao said this, the venue burst into an uproar.
