All the reporters turned to Jin Liwei and were waiting for his response. Everyone was waiting for him to talk about this matter since Xie Ming has dropped the bomb about their marriage.
Liwei casually picked up the mic and glanced at Xie Ming before speaking, " What do I think about the interview that Xie Ming gave during the movie premiere? Hmm...A wife introducing her husband, is that wrong?" He leaned back lazily while holding the mic. He crossed his legs and looked at the reporter as if he was confused by her question.
The reporter was a little taken back as she asked hesitatingly, "Ermm...so you're saying that you and Xie Ming…"
" Yes, we are married. I know you will not believe my words just because I said so, so let me show you the evidence since you guys only believe in material evidence." He commented.
He turned to Tang Nian and nodded at her. She nodded in response and showed the picture from the laptop on the big screen to everyone.
"As you all can see, this is the marriage certificate of our President Jin Liwei and Xie Ming. The vital information has been blurred but as you can see their picture and the seal of the government office, I hope this will be enough to clear all your doubts about their marriage being true or not." Tang Nian said while being poker-faced.
The reporters gaped seeing their wedding date. According to the certificate, they have gotten married before Xie Ming entered the industry and in a couple of months, they will have their second wedding anniversary.
They were shocked and dumbfounded wondering how they weren't aware that the most desirable bachelor has been taken already. Many were thinking that Xie Ming and he might have gotten married after she entered into the entertainment industry because she had seduced him to climb the ladder.
Some were assuming it to be a shotgun wedding but they were dumbfounded upon seeing the certificate that they are going to celebrate their second wedding anniversary soon.
The other reporters got excited seeing the certificate and started asking questions.
"Xie Ming, why did you hide your marriage until now? What was the reason for hiding your marriage until now?"
" Xie Ming, did you get your role in Mr. Han's movie because Jin Corporations is the biggest investor of the movie?"
" Did you use your title as Mrs. Jin to look down on other actors?"
" If you're married then why didn't you say anything when fans were talking about you and actor Jian Yan? Are you cheating on your husband?"
The reporters started to ask questions in a frenzy, forgetting their limits. However, the person who asked the last question caught everyone by surprise. Everyone became quiet and stared at him in shock. How can he ask such a question to Mrs. Jin? That too in front of Jin Liwie?
The person who asked this question was from one of the top media outlets but his reputation among people is nothing less than trash as he is surrounded by several controversies.
Liwei's expressions darkened as he clenched his fists and was about to pick up his mic when Xie Ming removed it in front of him. She shook her head and signaled him to calm down.
She calmly picked up the mic and looked at the reporter with her solemn expressions. By now, everyone was already silent and was waiting for her to answer the questions.
" I heard all your questions. Seems like people are so much curious about my personal life, huh?"
" You're an actress. Of course, people have a right to know about you, you're earning because of them after all." The same reporter who asked the last question made a mocking comment which made other reporters gape at him in shock.
Some who were sitting close to him, shifted away as they were afraid that they would get into trouble along with him. He is a moron who doesn't know how to ask questions. That's why he is known for his scandalous controversies.
Liwei's brows knitted together but Xie Ming placed her hand on his and patted it lightly to calm him down.
She looked at the reporter and smiled, " That's right. I am an actress, so they must be curious about me. But people don't have a 'right' to know about my personal life. It's my personal choice to disclose such personal things to the public or not. "
" Also, whatever I am earning is from my work. That's true that without my fans, I am nothing, but just because I am working in this industry, it doesn't mean I don't have my pride or my rights. If you're a respected citizen of our country, I am the same. Don't forget that, you're also earning money because of us, the people in the entertainment industry." She smiled elegantly while showing her serene smile.
The way she answered made everyone nod at words. Xiao Yan who was now looking at the live broadcast was surprised seeing the comments.
[ Aiya!! Xie Ming is so dope. That reporter is trash. She gave him a good tight slap.]
[ How dare he? Is he even a reporter? He should resign from his position. He is ruining the image of reporters.]
[ Finally, someone said it. These reporters and paparazzi always trash talk about actors and actresses but they tend to forget that it was only because of them that they are being paid. He deserved it.]
….
The reporter was embarrassed after hearing her words. His face turned red of anger and embarrassment.
Xie Ming continued, " I never lied about my relationship status. I just...never said anything because no one asked me. When I was asked, I responded truthfully. I didn't hide the fact that I am married or that I am Mrs. Jin."
"Also, about how I got the role, I think I have made it clear before. I won't comment on that because the movie has already been released and I believe you should know if I got this role because of the investment or not. " She didn't waver while answering and was very clear about the things.
" And, about the last question, as the reporter on the far right said, it was an imaginary pair made by fans. Denying them means disrespecting my fans. They were just joking between them and I guess everyone knows that there is no harm in this. However, if you're taking such jokes seriously, then I don't know what to say." she shrugged her hands in the air helplessly.
"Also, Brother Jian Yan knows about my marriage beforehand, so I don't think that I have misled him anyway. He was a nice person who was just trying to help me to get adjusted to this unfamiliar industry. Please don't dirty other artists who have nothing to do with this." Her expressions darkened a little, leaving the other reporter embarrassed.
[ Ahhh!! Xie Ming is so cool. I am so glad that she cleared the name of Jian Yan. Now it made sense why they were closer than others. So he knew about her marriage all along.]
[ Although I am sad that this ship didn't sail but I am so glad that she didn't avoid this question and resolved the misunderstanding.]
[ She is such a nice person. She handled the complicated questions very maturely. She didn't blame us for shipping them but she understands that it was just a harmless joke which was exaggerated by the media.]
[ Hah! She is so professional seeing the way she was acting. What about those videos? She put the life of a pregnant woman by doing those dangerous tricks of hers.]
[ I want to see how she is going to clear that. Because in the video, everyone can see that it was her. What a Bitch!]
