Wang Wei’s mind was still in a state of confusion, and he still couldn’t get his head around Shi Xiu’s identity. He didn’t understand; how did the supposed starlet become the daughter of the Shi family?
Knowing the severity of his situation, Wang Wei quickly stuttered out an explanation, “I-it wasn’t me… I-I didn’t know! S-someone else t-told me. They s-said that there was s-something wrong with the I-lead actress of this movie. I-I’m simply sharing the news, t-that’s all.” Everyone looked at Wang Wei sympathetically; his employer had evidently given him a task from hell.
Shi Nian didn’t reply, so Wang Wei mustered his courage and asked, “Chairman Shi, could it be that you are the financial backer behind ‘4:30 P.M.’? I heard that you and Director Yun are having an affair!”
Wang Wei’s colleague frowned and thought, ‘ Where did the shrewd Wang Wei I knew go? What on earth is he saying? What does he mean by ‘having an affair” ? The issue with Miss Shi has yet to be resolved, so why is he dragging Director Yun into the mix? Does he have a death wish?
Yun Nan couldn’t help but chide, “In English, please? I don’t speak scum.”
Fang Xi sneered, “Yun Nan, you’re asking too much of him. The guy’s just a dog, so why are you expecting it to speak a human language? Nothing decent ever comes out of that mouth.”
‘ Wow, theyjust unabashedly cursed a man out without a single swear word/ the crowd thought.
Wang Wei had been dissing big names for so long it had become a habit, so he instinctively retorted, “Don’t try to refute it! It’s clear to everyone with eyes that something is going on between you two! We’re not blind!”
Shi Nian laughed. ‘ What a rare fool he is. He’s so stupid that it’s amusing,’ he thought. “Actually, I just want to know who gave you the courage to say such nonsense so confidently.”
Shi Nian continued, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, I’ll reintroduce these two important ladies beside me to everyone so that you won’t waste your time and effort writing nonsense. My legal department still has to file a lawsuit against you and your company. I don’t care about the money, but I don’t want to waste my precious time on pointless people.”
His statement met with silence on and off the stage. The ones who knew very well that they were the “meaningless people” he spoke of also held their breaths. Fang Xi tactfully led the production crew members off the stage quietly, leaving the stage to the family trio.
Shi Nian first introduced Yun Nan, “This is Miss Yun Nan. She’s my wife.” Yun Nan waved her hand elegantly with an easy smile on her face.
“A few days ago, we were secretly photographed at the supermarket. I didn’t pursue the matter legally. Not only that, but I would also like to take the opportunity to thank that media outlet today! If it weren’t for your help, Yun Nan wouldn’t have wanted to publicize our relationship because she didn’t want people to think she was using the Shi family’s name to further her career,” Shi Nian stated.
“*Sigh!* Speaking of which, I’m the one who’s the most miserable. Despite being married, my wife won’t let me use my status as her husband to help her. She didn’t even care when I was besieged or when several women pretended to be my girlfriend some time ago, and she was indifferent to the scandals people have fabricated about me. I have to admit, I feel like I’m unnecessary. But it can’t be helped; she’s an outstanding girl who’s independent in all aspects, from spiritually to financially!” Shi Nian’s words made Mr. MO laugh, and the others soon followed.
“Serves you right, brat!” Someone shouted, and the big shots in the front row laughed even louder.
Shi Nian nodded and chuckled, “Yeah. I didn’t think I would have this day either, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. You can’t imagine the happiness I feel every day having this woman in my life.”
Someone in the crowd commented, “Ew, you’re so mushy!” And the laughter rose in volume. No one had ever seen Shi Nian like this; this new Shi Nian was strange but friendly. Who would’ve thought that the youngest chairman in the city, an all-powerful figure in the business world, was actually a sweet man who would whine and act soft before his wife? But… don’t the two make an adorable couple?
“Chairman Shi, many girls in the city will certainly be heartbroken by your announcement! ” someone loudly teased.
Shi Nian took a step back and replied, “Hey, don’t say such things; my wife’s right here. Those girls have nothing to do with me. Yun Nan is the only person in my heart! You’ll all be my witness! We have sworn an oath to be faithful to each other in life and death!”
The smile on Yun Nan’s face froze, and she silently grumbled, ‘You only had to come on stage and stand up for your sister; why did you have to drag me into this? Ifyou want to announce our relationship, then so be it, but what’s all this nonsense you’re talking about? Isn’ t this digging a hole for yourself? We’ll go our separate paths in five years, so what will you do then?
However, they were in this together; she couldn’t undermine him, so Yun Nan could only act like an ornament and stand there and smile. She rolled with Shi Nian’s show of deep affection and conducted herself with elegance and grace.
Shi Nian reached out to hold Yun Nan’s hand and looked at her lovingly. Yun Nan knew the cameras couldn’t catch her face, so she had no qualms about rolling her eyes at him, and Shi Nian laughed happily.
Mr.. MO took the lead in clapping, and someone whispered in his ear, “What a
perfect couple! “
