Yun Nan looked at the reporters who were badgering the issue, staring at them until they stopped talking, and the entire place fell silent before saying, âWhy should we have to come out to prove and explain ourselves every time thereâs a rumor about us?â
âWeâre public figures, but we donât have the obligation to satisfy everyoneâs need for gossip and curiosity. Iâm tired of saying things like âthe truth will speak for itself.â For those who can tell right from wrong, thereâs no need for us to explain, and for those who want to slander Shi Xiu, thereâs no use in explaining.â
Yun Nanâs firm and imposing manner deterred the media reporters, who had come prepared with a whole load of twisted logic. Yun Innovations had never been soft-hearted when it came to those who spread rumors and slandered others, after all.
Yun Nan suddenly smiled. âI might as well keep everyone in suspense today. I want to see how the truth will come to light and who will get slapped in the face then. Even though things get recorded and preserved on the Internet, it doesnât stop people from stirring up trouble. Isnât that because the cost of spreading rumors is too slight?â
âThis time, to teach these rumormongers a lesson, Iâll pay to put the matter on the trending list out of my own pocket on the day the rumors get exposed as false. Iâll put the truth up with the rumors on the headlines for others to compare!â
Some of the reportersâ expressions changed when they heard that. âYun Nan, donât do that! Itâs not a good idea to do that!â Lu Hui said, looking serious. âWhy not?â Yun Nan glanced at her and asked, thinking, âThis girl has finally caught on and knows how to set up a conversation. As expected, itâs easiest to learn through experience. She grew up more in this instance than in learning from Fang Xi and I.â
Lu Hui replied with a cheery smile, âThere are too many rumors about Yun Innovations. Youâll have to pay to put them on the trending list every time one gets exposed, and theyâll have to be on the list for ten days at a time. Iâm worried youâll go bankrupt!â
Yun Innovationsâ employees started to laugh, and the media reportersâ momentum weakened. They came here en masse to condemn Shi Xiu and Yun Innovations but were unexpectedly and forcefully led astray by Yun Nan.
Shi Nian rushed home to see Yun Nan calmly cooking in the kitchen, and his nerves relaxed slightly. Yun Nan heard him come in, so she turned and called out, âDinner will be served soon.â
Shi Nian changed out of his shoes and went to the kitchen. âI heard that some reporters caused a ruckus at Yun Innovations today. Iâm sorry, I was in a meeting the entire afternoonâIâ
Yun Nan turned around and smiled. âItâs alright. Everythingâs resolved!â
Shi Nian exhaled lightly. Yun Nan was too independent, making him seem redundant. Shi Nian already knew the ins and outs of the whole thing from Chang Yuan, but still asked, âI heard rumors about Shi Xiu are flying around again; is that right?â
Yun Nan handed the dishes that were done to him, gestured for him to bring them to the dining table, and loudly told him, âThatâs how the entertainment industry works. Theyâll believe anything they hear and make a fuss about nothing! Iâve already informed Mika; Shi Xiu will be fine.â
Shi Nian helped to set the cutlery as he remarked, âTell the legal department to have at it. You can use our companyâs lavvyers if you donât have enough manpower.â
Yun Nan smiled. âThereâs no need to raise such a big commotion. I did tell those media reporters today that I would send them a lawyerâs letter, but it was just talk. I donât have the time to fuss over such nonsense with them.â
Shi Nian pulled Yun Nan into his arms and said seriously, âNo one is allowed to bully my wife or my sister! â
And with that, Shi Nian kissed Yun Nanâs lips. Yun Nan struggled for a bit, but Shi Nian wouldnât let her escape. Ever since the man recovered from his injuries, it was as if he had been released from his shackles. As long as they were together, he constantly wanted to kiss and hug Yun Nan and got extremely clingy.
When Shi Nian finally ended the long kiss, Yun Nan lightly hit him in mock rebuke and said softly, âStop fooling around and eat dinner!â
Shi Nian was reluctant to let her go. He kissed her earlobe and muttered,
âDinner canât compare to my wife!â
Yun Nan blushed and mock-scowled. âAre you saying my food isnât delicious? I worked hard to make it!â
Shi Nian chuckled. The coquettish woman in front of him was a completely different person from the sharp- tongued and domineering director he had seen in the video of her talking the crowd down. He had to admit that, no matter which side of Yun Nan it was, he loved them all. She was his treasure girl.
Yun Nan pushed him away to scoop some soup and rice. Face still blushing, she forcefully changed the topic. âI reckon the media will throw a bigger fuss tomorrow, so be mentally prepared!â
Shi Nian sat down, took a sip of the soup, and stated with a look of satisfaction, âIâll see which media outlet is causing a ruckus and get Chang Yuan to evaluate its worth.â
Yun Nan was momentarily stunned and laughed. âIsnât that a bit much?â
Shi Nian didnât even look up as he replied, âThis is nothing. Liang Han is expanding his business in the industry, so Iâm only helping him..â
