Sheng Dan had long since lost all of her pin pricks and her arrogance. Her eyes flitted about nervously, as her face turned more and more white.
There were some reporters that had already turned to filming her and Ling Yuqing now, and the tables had turned.
“Reporter Sheng, did you write that article online that was targeting Miss Ling? Why did you do something like that? What evidence did you have?”
“What’s your motive for attending the press conference today? Why is it that despite your close relationship with Miss Ling’s step-sister, both of you denied it?”
“Reporter Sheng…”
They were all in the reporter’s stand, so all the reporters could gather and surround Sheng Dan easily. They blasted all of their harshest, sharpest questions all in one go.
Sheng Dan’s poor, weak self was jostled around by all those agitated reporters, each one of them with questions sharper than a chef’s knife, the flashes from their cameras pointed at her. She just felt utter despair, she learned what it felt like to be surrounded by layers and layers of reporters, Sheng Dan felt that she was going to go crazy!
There were reporters surrounding Sheng Dan, so those that were unable to approach her turned their sights on Ling Yuqing instead.
“Miss Ling, why did you lie?’
“Since you and reporter Sheng knew each other, then did you know that she was the one that authored that article?”
“Was there a secret between you and reporter Sheng? As screenwriter Ling’s step-sister, was this action of yours out of jealousy?”
“Like what was said by that woman in the video, was the rich man that your mother wanted to marry screenwriter Ling’s father?”
The questions kept on coming like a tide, hitting Ling Yuqing as though waves crashing on a shore, she was surrounded by reporters. Ling Tianya stood on the stage, and no matter where she went, she was surrounded by Ruan Zeyan’s bodyguards. Even if the reporters were insane in their quest for answers, they couldn’t get close enough to Ling Tianya to cause her any bit of harm.
No one came to Ling Yuqing’s aid. She was surrounded by reporters and couldn’t keep her calm no matter how she tried, she threw Ling Tao a pleading look, shouting at him, “Daddy! Daddy! Come help me!”
Faced with Ling Yuqing’s plead for help, Ling Tao merely stood there with a complex expression, he did have some misunderstandings about Ling Tianya, and he did actually like his step-daughter Ling Yuqing. He was not an idiot though. He could reprimand Ling Tianya’s coldness and detachment in order to maintain the harmony in the home. He could help Ling Yuqing, whom he thought was at a disadvantage, by pushing against Ling Tianya, his biological daughter. It was only to maintain the familial harmony.
Things seemed to not be that same case that time. Ling Yuqing did lie, and she lied right in front of everyone without as much as a blink of her eyes. Ling Tao couldn’t help but think deeper, in theory, Sheng Dan should have absolutely no connection.
