It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 141: The Truth Revealed: Flames of Revenge

In the preparation room of the press conference, Wu Xinyan was tidying up her appearance in front of the mirror for the last time.

Under her light makeup, her expression was as calm as ever, but deep in her obsidian eyes, a determined flame was dancing.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. Before Wu Xinyan could answer, the door was pushed open and Zhao's best friend walked in with an ambiguous smile on her face.

"Xinyan, long time no see." She said it in a frivolous tone, as if there had never been any rift between them.

Wu Xinyan looked at her coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"What? You don't want to welcome me, your old friend?" Zhao walked up to Wu Xinyan and lowered her voice. "Xinyan, I advise you to cancel this press conference. You should know that some things, once made public, will do you no good."

Wu Xinyan smiled contemptuously, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just reminding you not to dig your own grave." The smile on Zhao's best friend's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an undisguised cruelty.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Wu Xinyan met her gaze without flinching. "You should worry about yourself!"

Zhao's best friend snorted coldly and turned away.

Watching her leaving figure, Wu Xinyan's heart couldn't help but be overshadowed, but she told herself that she must not back down, she must seek justice for herself!

The press conference was crowded with people and the spotlights were flashing non-stop.

When Wu Xinyan appeared on the stage, there was a commotion in the audience.

"Ms. Wu, are you and Ms. Lin Xiaoxiao really friends?"

"Do you admit that you copied Shenghua Group's design?"

"Is your marriage to Mr. Luo really just a business marriage, as the outside world has rumored?"

A barrage of pointed questions followed, but Wu Xinyan remained calm. She picked up the microphone and was about to speak when someone in the audience suddenly shouted, "Don't believe her! She's lying!"

Soon after, more people started to make a fuss, and the scene became very chaotic for a while.

Wu Xinyan frowned, she knew that someone was deliberately making trouble.

"Everyone, please be quiet! Please listen to me!" Wu Xinyan raised her voice, trying to maintain order. However, she was met with even more fierce questioning and attacks...

At this moment, a sharp female voice came from the crowd: "Ms. Wu, I have a recording here, maybe you will be interested..."

The person who was speaking was reporter Qian. She was holding a recorder and had a meaningful smile on her face.

Wu Xinyan's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over her...

Reporter Qian walked to the front of the stage aggressively, and the sound of her high heels hitting the ground seemed to hit Wu Xinyan's heart.

"Ms. Wu, you keep saying you've been wronged, but as far as I know, you and Ms. Lin had many arguments during your university days due to differing design philosophies. Is this true?" Her sharp gaze seemed to see through Wu Xinyan. "Furthermore, an insider revealed that you've privately contacted designers from Shenghua Group on numerous occasions. Are you suspected of stealing trade secrets?"

There was an uproar in the audience, and whispers were heard everywhere.

Wu Xinyan felt suffocated. Every question from reporter Qian was like a sharp knife, accurately piercing her soft spot.

She knew that behind these questions were lies and traps carefully woven by Zhao's best friend.

"Ms. Wu, why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty because I was right?" Reporter Qian pressed on, a mocking smile on his lips.

At this moment, a deep and authoritative voice came from the back of the crowd: "I'd like to ask Reporter Qian, making groundless accusations and maliciously manipulating public opinion, is this what you call journalistic ethics?"

The crowd automatically parted, and Luo Yichen walked in wearing a black suit and with a stern expression.

His powerful aura instantly shocked the entire audience, and the originally noisy press conference suddenly became silent.

Reporter Qian obviously did not expect Luo Yichen to appear suddenly, and his originally aggressive momentum suddenly weakened a bit.

Luo Yichen walked over to Wu Xinyan, gently held her hand, gave her a reassuring look, then turned to face the crowd, his voice low and powerful: "I believe in my wife, and I believe in the justice of the law. As for those who try to confuse the public and spread rumors, I advise you to be careful!"

His few brief words were filled with unquestionable power, allowing everyone present to feel his determination to protect Wu Xinyan.

Reporter Qian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was frightened by Luo Yichen's sharp look and swallowed his words back.

Luo Yichen turned around and said to Wu Xinyan gently: "Don't be afraid"

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, gripped the microphone tightly in her hand, and looked forward with a firm gaze.

"Thank you everyone. Next, I will tell you everything I know without reservation...

She paused, her eyes sweeping across the audience before finally landing on Reporter Qian. A meaningful smile played on her lips, "Including some unknown secrets..."

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, opened the file bag in her hand, and took out a stack of photos and documents.

"First of all, I want to show you a comparison of the design works that Ms. Zhao and I produced during our college years. You can see that our design styles are very different, and there is no possibility of plagiarism at all." Wu Xinyan said as she showed the photos to the media reporters in the audience.

In the photos, her and Zhao's works have very different styles. Wu Xinyan's works are more simple and generous, while Zhao's works are more complicated and gorgeous. There is no similarity between the two.

"Secondly, I want to show you..." Wu Xinyan paused, her eyes sweeping across the audience before landing on Zhao's best friend. "My chat history with my 'best friend'."

The chat records between Wu Xinyan and Zhao Guimi appeared on the big screen. It can be clearly seen from the records that Zhao Guimi has been deliberately belittling Wu Xinyan's design, and has repeatedly leaked Wu Xinyan's design plan to competitors, and even received a large amount of benefits from the other party.

"You..." Zhao's best friend's face turned pale. She pointed at Wu Xinyan but couldn't say a word.

"Why are you doing this?" Wu Xinyan looked at her bestie, her eyes filled with disappointment and heartache. "We've been together for so many years, and this is how you treat me?"

Zhao's best friend opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but found that she had nothing to say.

She knew she was finished, completely finished.

"I..." Zhao's best friend's voice trembled, "I..."

"That's enough!" Luo Yichen interrupted Zhao's bestie coldly. "Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhao's best friend closed her eyes in despair. She knew that she had no chance of recovery.

After the press conference, Zhao's best friend's reputation was completely ruined. She lost all her friends and job opportunities, and became a pariah, hated by everyone.

Wu Xinyan regained everyone's trust, her career began to recover, and her partners began to work with her again.

However, Wu Xinyan knew that this was just the beginning and she still had a lot to do.

"Yichen, tell me..." Wu Xinyan leaned into Luo Yichen's arms and asked softly, "Can we really overcome everything?"

Luo Yichen looked down at Wu Xinyan in his arms, a cold glint in his eyes...
