Jun Mochan was about to say something when he noticed Ye Ranran at his side.
"Are you okay? Come sit," Jun Mochan said, patting the seat next to him.
Ye Ranran obediently walked over and leaned into his arms, "Mr. Jun, I’ve been slammed by others. How do you plan to clear my name?"
Before Jun Mochan could say anything, Ah Chuan shouted, holding his phone, "Che Hao has issued a statement."
Jun Mochan quickly turned on the television.
Che Hao’s face appeared on the screen, he was smiling charmingly at the audience, "Regarding the rumors with designer Ye Ranran, I feel obliged to clarify."
"She is the designated designer for the film I’m currently shooting. The photo was of our first encounter. She needed to move her clothing to the film site, and I was just giving her a hand."
"As for the rest, I’m just extending help where it’s needed."
"Ye Ranran and I are just ordinary friends, not lovers. I hope everyone would refrain from spreading unverified reports. That’s all I have to say. Thank you."
With that, Che Hao excused himself.
His statement somewhat eased Ye Ranran’s situation, at least Che Hao’s fans were no longer cursing at her.
However, some die-hard fans still believed she was trying to ride on Che Hao’s fame. There were scattered, occasional hateful comments.
But it was much better than before.
Jun Mochan turned off the television, "Ah Chuan, hold a press conference."
Ye Ranran held onto his hand tightly, "What are you planning?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll protect you." How could he let others slander her indiscriminately?
"I know a public announcement of our relationship may come with unnecessary complications, but trust me, I won’t force you into anything you dislike."
Is it really going to be public ? The thought of having to appear everywhere as Mrs. Jun bothered Ye Ranran.
"Isn’t there another way?"
"Of course, there are. However, they’re not as straightforward."
"That’s alright. Let’s go with the other methods then," Ye Ranran said.
Jun Mochan seemed to have anticipated her reluctance, he gave her a steely look, "It seems like Ranran is very reluctant to make our relationship public."
"No, it’s just that I don’t want to be pointed at, you know, you’re a billionaire, and I’m just a small designer."
"Alright, I was just teasing you." Jun Mochan hugged her tightly, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you live in my shadow; I’ll let you shine in your own light."
Ye Ranran nestled in Jun Mochan’s embrace, her cold heart warmed a bit by his words.
As Jun Mochan said, making the relationship public would be the simplest and most direct method, but it didn’t mean there were no other solutions.
Calling her his mistress? Jun Mochan personally issued a statement, declaring his affection for Ye Ranran and that he was pursuing her.
Jun Mochan usually avoided all interviews, features in magazines or on television, but now, he was speaking out for love.
This showed how important Ye Ranran was to him.
Who would bend the rules for her, if not for deep-rooted love?
As for the accusations of stealing her sister’s boyfriend, a video from the wedding suddenly surfaced.
The scene of Ye Tianjiao kneeling and begging Ye Ranran stirred up a massive uproar.
Suddenly, everyone’s attention shifted to Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han.
A few photos from the previous banquet were also leaked, revealing that Xie Yuan had drugged Ye Ranran.
And so, the fire was lit under Xie Yuan.
The stocks of the three corporations plunged, banks refused to lend, and financial issues began to emerge.
