"Miss Yu, how could walk around without any care after killing the Li family heir?"
"Don't you have any conscience?"
"Is CEO Li finally going to divorce such an unworthy wife?"
No kind and consoling comment were made. Every single one of them was here to attack her make her a laughing stock. Microphones were pushed towards her from all sides and plenty of cameras pointed at her. This was going live. Yu Yan did not answer immediately, she looked around noting which company all the reporters were from.
"What are you guilty, is that why you are unable to answer?"
Suddenly a familiar voice answered. It was Yun Feng.
"Don't be like that. Ah Yan didn't mean too. She knows she was wrong, she would not act so carelessly and wilfully next time. Ah, please forgive her this time. I'll apologise in her stead as her friend I should have forcefully been more careful instead of just advising her. Ah-Yan quickly apologies to brother Yi Feng! Tell him you'd be better and careful next time."
Every word sentence sounded like she was taking the blame for her and helping her friend. But only the two of them knew ho she had accepted all the rumours to be true. An outsider would not know, and the first time around Yu Yan had been too depressed and caught up with the loss to notice. She had truly blamed herself back then.
"No!"
This one word made everyone quite down in surprise.
"Ah Yan! don't be wilful..."
"Wilful? Are you saying I was out partying and drinking all night? Acting wild and shameless while being pregnant?"
"No. That's not..."
Her voice had quite down much more, not expecting Yu Yan to retort her words.
"Others might not know, but as my best friend should you not know. How could you accept all the accusations as if those rumours were true?! Are you trying to ruin me?"
Everyone turned around and looked at Yun Feng. There was something wrong here. As a friend, she was not helping, but sending her friend towards doom. Yu Yan turned towards the reporters.
"You how dare you slander me. Do you have evidence that I was out playing and drinking all night?! As reporters aren't you ashamed of yourselves? Is this how reporters are, irresponsibly accusing people without knowing the truth?"
There were obvious shame and guilt in some of the reporters' eyes. It seemed like they already knew that she had been falsely accused, but still came here. However some were still not done, they had come all the way here and would not go until they got a juicy scoop.
"The one who knows no shame is you! We do have a source."
"Good! You should bring your source with you to court to be your witness."
"Court?" someone asked hesitantly.
"Yes, of course. My lawyer will send you the details since I would be suing you for malicious slander."
They seemed to finally know fear. Did they think that they could do whatever they wanted without consequences?
"How could that be? We are only doing our jobs. How could you be so vicious?"
"Yes, Ah Yan. Let's not make a big deal out of this. It's just a misunderstanding."
Yun Feng who had finally woken up from her previous shock piped up.
"Vicious? Ha, as a reporter your job is to report the truth. Without even finding out about the truth, you come here to maliciously accuse a grieving mother who has just lost her child? I'm vicious? You're here to make money out of someone else's pain and want me to be lenient. Don't even think about it! Do you think the legal system is for show? We'll see each other in court!"
With that Yu Yan turned around and left using the moment everyone was stunned to slip away. She left without caring about what would happen to the people left behind. After all, she had finished what she had come for today. She made a call as soon as she was out of everyone's sight.
"Uncle Pei, is everything ready?"
"Yes, miss. I have already sent out notices to all the tabloids and the companies of those reporters that came today."
Worthy of being old master Li's lawyer. He had even known about what just happened at considered that as well.
"Thank you, uncle Pei!"
"No, problem miss."
With this, she returned happily home, excited to finally get a little bit of payback and being able to change the outcome of her life. Unbeknownst to her someone else had also caught kind of what had happened today.
**********
In a quiet office, only the sound of the TV could be heard. A man was intently watching the news. Dressed in an elegant suit that emphasised his long legs and broad shoulders, he was elegantly sitting in his chair. Such a charming man was not common. Perfectly sculptured, handsome face with a mysterious charm. The kind of charm that would make all women fall head over heels, willing to do anything for this man. Beautiful, gorgeous, handsome and sexy. No word was enough to explain his beauty. His lean but muscular body leaned forward, clasping his hands that were on the desk together. Those hypnotising eyes that could suck one's soul in, dangerously narrowed.
Noticing the piercing cold atmosphere in the room, his secretary knew his boss' displeasure.
"Boss.."
"Ke Ming, it seems I've been too nice lately. Making people believe they could easily scheme against me and get away with it. Find out the details behind this!"
"Yes, Boss!"
With this Ke Ming took the opportunity to escape from the room, he might die of pressure if he stayed any longer. Li Yi Feng was left alone in the office, staring intently at the figure of the woman on the screen. The figure was not as vibrant as usual, no heavy makeup. She was pale and looked weak. Somehow it bothering him.
