Gu Tingshen looked at her and noticed her small movements of pinching her fingers, as well as the beads of sweat on her forehead that had been caused by her nervousness.

He had already investigated her background and knew that she had never gone to university or worked in a proper profession. While he could help her out, he also wanted to see if she could solve her own problems.

Moreover, what was more important was the identity that the white jade pendant had given her. Only then would she be able to defend herself.

Everyone in the room was waiting for Huo Niannian's answer.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips, sincerely saying, "I've never studied in university. Because I was young, my health was poor and my studies were intermittent, so I simply didn't go back to school. Instead, my grandma helped me to write a textbook to teach me how to read."

Huo Niannian knew a basic principle of lying. Admit it first, then make it up half-truthfully, it was always more convincing than just denying it.

It was true that she had never studied in university, that her body was not good, that her studies were intermittent, and that her grandma had written false textbooks.

"It seems that the Miss Huo has a great grandmother. Then, what is the occupation of the Miss Huo?" The other party asked.

Huo Niannian lifted her eyes, revealing a humble smile. "I drew it."

The reporters were all exclaiming exaggeratedly, praising her and throwing out other questions along with their comments. What kind of painting was Miss Huo drawing?

Gu Tingshen smiled as he looked at Huo Niannian, and muttered: "You're bragging, but I won't save you."

Huo Niannian glared at him, "I'm just a painter."

It was just that she was drawing in front of someone else's house. Sometimes she would draw a cross, sometimes she would draw stars, sometimes she would draw the right hook.

With the cross, it meant that the family wasn't the target of stealing. The stars meant the target. As for the tick marks, it meant that the family had already entered.

Gu Tingshen squinted his eyes, worried that she might not be able to understand the meaning of the question. He then looked towards Assistant Zhou, indicating that he could announce the end of the question.

Just as they were about to leave, a sharp female voice came out from the corner: "Miss Huo Niannian, is it true that you went to prison for theft?"

Huo Niannian suddenly raised her head and looked towards the person who asked the question. It was Cao Nana.

No wonder she felt that there was a familiar face at the venue from the start. Cao Nana had indeed sneaked in.

The eyes of all the reporters in the venue lit up like they had seen a fat wolf. All of them followed closely behind Cao Nana to ask a question, was there really a case of theft?

Huo Niannian stood where she was, frozen in place. Countless light flashes landed on her beautiful yet pale face, making her want to flip the table and smash it against the harsh reporters.

The assistant, Little Zhou asked Cao Nana loudly: "Miss, can you show me your reporter's card? We will hold you accountable for your malicious slander! "

Of course, Cao Nana did not have a reporter's certificate, and as for the scolding words of the investigation, it was completely useless against the reporters who were so angry that they wanted to dig up the information.

They were only concerned about whether or not the Imperial Group President's Wife had a criminal record, and whether or not the Gu Family's Young Mistress had been a juvenile delinquent!

Seeing that she could not hold on anymore, Gu Tingshen wanted to pull her hand and leave.

Huo Niannian actually managed to struggle free of him, calmly looked at Gu Tingshen, and then swept her eyes with an arrogant and disdainful expression at the reporters who wished for nothing more than to eat her.
