Ji Yanxi was obedient so he did not come to look for Shang Xiaomo, and Shang Xiaomo's body had more or less recovered, so he went to find Shang Hangzhou, wanting to talk about the press conference.
But who knew that just as she was hesitating, Shang Hangzhou walked out from the study room. Seeing Shang Xiaomo standing at the door, she felt it was strange, so she asked.
Seeing Shang Xiaomo's uncertain eyes, Shang Hangzhou knew that she had something on her mind. He, who was originally prepared to go out, called Shang Xiaomo into the study room.
"It's about exposing Qi Qi's identity." Shang Xiaomo looked at Shang Hangzhou with a serious expression.
"Xiao Mo, I thought about it, actually, Qi Qi's identity is not very important, she is still young, and you are not married yet. Even if you were to be announced that Qi Qi was adopted, it would cause a lot of trouble for your reputation."
When Shang Xiaomo heard what Shang Hangzhou said in the first half of the sentence, she wanted to retort, but she still endured it and listened to the rest of the sentence.
So that's what Eldest Uncle was worried about, Shang Xiaomo firmly said, "Eldest Uncle, these aren't any problems for me, I just want Qi Qi to be open and open, as for other people, you can speak whatever you want."
Seeing how determined Shang Xiaomo was, Shang Hangzhou knew that she must have made up her mind. She didn't say anything further and only promised Shang Xiaomo.
"Since you said it would be like this, forget it, I will immediately get people to prepare for the press conference, but you better not say that Qi Qi is your biological daughter." Shang Hangzhou reminded her worriedly.
"Uncle is the best." Shang Xiaomo smiled sweetly at Shang Hangzhou, not hearing the last few words clearly.
However, Shang Hangzhou was enjoying it, he looked at her affectionately and said gently.
"Alright, get back to work."
"Then uncle, I'm leaving."
After Shang Xiaomo left, Shang Hangzhou picked up the phone, called his assistant, and told him about the press conference.
Three days later …
"Everyone, the reason why we gathered here today is to announce something." Shang Hangzhou was dressed in formal attire, as he looked at the black mass of reporters.
He waved his hand and a girl dressed in a goose yellow dress, dressed in pink and jade, walked over. Just as the reporters were confused, Shang Hangzhou said: "Hello everyone, this is my niece, Shang Xiaomo's adopted child, Qi Qi. From today onwards, her surname was Shang and her name was Shang Yanqi. "Now, my niece, please say a few words to everyone."
The reporters were in an uproar. A while ago, they had just found their niece, and now her niece said that she had adopted a girl. No matter what, this felt a little strange.
The crowd was abuzz with discussion of such a thing.
"Don't you think the Shang family is a little too weird? Every few months they would announce their family's relationship." Because the man with the press card said.
"Yeah, who knows. The relationships between upper class are really complicated." The cameraman, who was busy taking pictures, chimed in.
"I wonder if she adopted the child? Or did she use it to win people's eyes? " This reporter always felt that Shang Xiaomo had other plans, so she did not have any good impressions of her.
According to the data, she was just a peasant girl from a fishing village. Somehow, the sparrow had turned from a branch into a golden phoenix and was now related to the merchant.
"There's only one thing I want to say today." Shang Xiaomo took a deep breath, tightly held onto the two sides of her skirt, and said solemnly: "Qi Qi is my biological daughter."
The simple sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, rippling in circle after circle.
The reporters sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to react at all.
Unexpectedly, when Shang Hangzhou heard this, she immediately snatched over her microphone and explained quickly: "Cough, everyone, don't misunderstand. What she means is that she will treat Qi Qi like her own daughter." After saying that, he looked at Shang Xiaomo with a blaming look, as if to say: "How can you be so casual, is being a press conference a joke?"
Everyone was attracted by this piece of important news and whispered to each other. Unable to control the situation, the host tried to help them out.
"Alright, everyone, you can ask your questions now."
Immediately, a large group of reporters swarmed over and started talking at once.
"Miss Shang, may I ask what is your motive for taking him in?"
"Chief Shang, according to our understanding, you have adopted the Young Miss for a long time, why is it only announced now?"
"Miss Shang, it is said that you and Quarterly have been very close, and are preparing to talk about marriage, is that true?"
"Chief Shang, does the name 'Yan' in Young Miss have anything to do with Brandon's' Quarterly?"
….
One question after another, was thrown towards Shang Xiaomo.
They looked at Shang Hangzhou for help, and only then did Shang Hangzhou wave his hand with the microphone. They could only calm down and say, "I will answer the few questions I raised just now, firstly, Qi Qi had a good relationship with my niece before we found her, but because the conditions at that time did not allow it, there was no adoption."
"Secondly, it is a little late, because we will need to spend some time to cultivate our relationship with Qi Qi. That is us, we will treat her as our own kin, so everyone don't need to worry about this."
"Let the youngsters handle their own matters. In any case, I'll just wait and see."
"As for the last question, this is an adopted child, what does it have to do with Brandon's Quarterly?"
"This is the only thing that will happen in today's press conference. The rest of you should organize your questions and ask the butler. Today's press conference will be held here, so everyone can leave now." Shang Hangzhou held onto Shang Xiaomo's hand, Qi Qi obediently following behind them.
After they left the venue, Shang Xiaomo couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle, why didn't you let me announce it?" Shang Xiaomo looked at him in confusion, and said a little angrily: "This is not fair to Qi Qi."
Shang Hangzhou released her hand, her eyes signalling for her subordinates to take Qi Qi away first. The sensible Qi Qi did not ask further, and followed along.
Shang Hangzhou spoke only after seeing Qi Qi walk far away: "Do you know that the Shang Clan is currently in a precarious situation. If you reveal Qi Qi's identity, she will become an illegitimate child and both your reputation and the Shang Clan's reputation will be affected. Furthermore, have you considered Qi Qi's feelings before?"
