Wang Weiâs mind was still in a state of confusion, and he still couldnât get his head around Shi Xiuâs identity. He didnât 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, âI-it wasnât me⦠I-I didnât 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-Iâm simply sharing the news, t-thatâs all.â Everyone looked at Wang Wei sympathetically; his employer had evidently given him a task from hell.
Shi Nian didnât reply, so Wang Wei mustered his courage and asked, âChairman Shi, could it be that you are the financial backer behind â4:30 P.M.â? I heard that you and Director Yun are having an affair!â
Wang Weiâs colleague frowned and thought, â Where did the shrewd Wang Wei I knew go? What on earth is he saying? What does he mean by âhaving an affairâ ? 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 couldnât help but chide, âIn English, please? I donât speak scum.â
Fang Xi sneered, âYun Nan, youâre asking too much of him. The guyâs just a dog, so why are you expecting it to speak a human language? Nothing decent ever comes out of that mouth.â
â 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, âDonât try to refute it! Itâs clear to everyone with eyes that something is going on between you two! Weâre not blind!â
Shi Nian laughed. â What a rare fool he is. Heâs so stupid that itâs amusing,â he thought. âActually, I just want to know who gave you the courage to say such nonsense so confidently.â
Shi Nian continued, âIt doesnât matter if you donât tell me. Iâll get to the bottom of this. Now, Iâll reintroduce these two important ladies beside me to everyone so that you wonât waste your time and effort writing nonsense. My legal department still has to file a lawsuit against you and your company. I donât care about the money, but I donât want to waste my precious time on pointless people.â
His statement met with silence on and off the stage. The ones who knew very well that they were the âmeaningless peopleâ 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, âThis is Miss Yun Nan. Sheâs my wife.â Yun Nan waved her hand elegantly with an easy smile on her face.
âA few days ago, we were secretly photographed at the supermarket. I didnât pursue the matter legally. Not only that, but I would also like to take the opportunity to thank that media outlet today! If it werenât for your help, Yun Nan wouldnât have wanted to publicize our relationship because she didnât want people to think she was using the Shi familyâs name to further her career,â Shi Nian stated.
â*Sigh!* Speaking of which, Iâm the one whoâs the most miserable. Despite being married, my wife wonât let me use my status as her husband to help her. She didnât 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 Iâm unnecessary. But it canât be helped; sheâs an outstanding girl whoâs independent in all aspects, from spiritually to financially!â Shi Nianâs words made Mr. MO laugh, and the others soon followed.
âServes you right, brat!â Someone shouted, and the big shots in the front row laughed even louder.
Shi Nian nodded and chuckled, âYeah. I didnât think I would have this day either, but I wouldnât change it for the world. You canât imagine the happiness I feel every day having this woman in my life.â
Someone in the crowd commented, âEw, youâre so mushy!â And the laughter rose in volume. No one had ever seen Shi Nian like this; this new Shi Nian was strange but friendly. Who wouldâve 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⦠donât the two make an adorable couple?
âChairman Shi, many girls in the city will certainly be heartbroken by your announcement! â someone loudly teased.
Shi Nian took a step back and replied, âHey, donât say such things; my wifeâs right here. Those girls have nothing to do with me. Yun Nan is the only person in my heart! Youâll all be my witness! We have sworn an oath to be faithful to each other in life and death!â
The smile on Yun Nanâs face froze, and she silently grumbled, âYou 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 whatâs all this nonsense youâre talking about? Isnâ t this digging a hole for yourself? Weâll go our separate paths in five years, so what will you do then?
However, they were in this together; she couldnât undermine him, so Yun Nan could only act like an ornament and stand there and smile. She rolled with Shi Nianâs show of deep affection and conducted herself with elegance and grace.
Shi Nian reached out to hold Yun Nanâs hand and looked at her lovingly. Yun Nan knew the cameras couldnât 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, âWhat a
perfect couple! â
