Press Conference of Sweet Memories 2
"I'm sorry but we don't need to answer that. May we please assist our friend here to sit?" Director Han answered.
Reporter Hong laughed viciously. His boldness fueled the courage of the other reporters. They seemed to understand the need to learn the truth.
"Director Han, since the casts of your movie were part of these scandals, why don't you let us ask them? Are you hiding something? Their scandalous affair caused ruckus on the industry!"
"We've been waiting for answers from your artists. Don't we deserve to at least know the truth? How far will you cover these things up?"
"Yes, we want to know the truth. We can't just let you cover things up."
"Director Han, is this just a publicity to gain attention for your movie? Is this just premeditated?"
Director Han sighed as he answered in a firm voice, "If you have no other question about the movie, we have some foods prepare for all of you. Thank you for coming today."
There was a sudden buzz from the whispering reporters. They were not happy at the outcome. How could they let it slip through their fingers? It was a slap to their freedom not to bring out the truth. However, they had no other choice but to leave with annoyed expressions.
Everyone was about to stand up when one of the reporters shouted, "Hey, check the latest news on Weibo! Hurry!"
Everyone took their phones as they read the trending topic on Weibo. Even Director Han, Lan Meixu, Shen Linqin, Wang Guo and Li Yun read the article.
Only Si Weimin and Xu Jia Li seemed oblivious and unperturbed at the commotion.
Xu Jia Li was expecting this to happen. 'You really don't disappoint, Qi Xenjin. As expected of you." She smirked as she looked at everyone's shocked faces.
The article was posted by an anonymous person using a fake account. It was said that Xu Jia Li was seen sleeping around with an unknown man. Pictures were also taken. It was a universal knowledge in the entertainment industry that when an article had pictures as proofs, the artist involved was in deep pit since people tend to believe what they only see. It would mostly be hard to refute the article and sway the opinions of the people.
The first picture was of Xu Jia Li hugging the man intimately inside the car.
The second one was of the two of them kissing on the parking lot.
The third was of her being kissed on her neck while her clothes and hair were in disarray.
The remaining photos were of her entering and leaving the hotel with the man.
The entire hall was filled with loud gasps. Everyone began whispering with each other. They threw a look of disgust towards XuJia Li. This time, the reporters and the netizens were sure that Xu Jia Li made another grave sin.
Seeing the turn of event, Qi Xenjin was celebrating inside after reading the article. 'This time you're dead! Let's see how you'll manage this time.'
She didn't expect that Hong Tingguang would do a great job. She was really surprised to see how Hong Tingguang managed to get those pictures. She didn't care whether they were real or not as long as XuJia Li would be doomed.
Qi Xenjin pretended to cry as she panicked, "It's not Senior Xu. It can't be her. Can't anyone do something to take that down? Please!"
Qi Xenjin turned to Xu Jia Li, "Senior Xu, hurry. Tell them that this is not you."
Xu Jia Li didn't even pay her a glance, totally ignoring her.
"Look, even Qi Xenjin wants to protect her. How can she be so ungrateful? I can't believe we're fooled by that beautiful face."
"Truly, you can't judge a person by her looks. Hmph! XuJia Li is the proof that not because you look pure and innocent, you really are innocent. As the saying goes, pretty faces are the bringer of chaos."
Reporter Hong sneered before speaking, "A book can't really be judged by its cover. Seems like Ms. Xu has a lot of skeletons in her closet."
"Ms. Xu, can you explain this article?" A lanky man wearing a gray vest asked.
"And what exactly is that?" XuJia Li answered provocatively.
"Huh! Don't pretend that you don't know. We're not buying any more lies from you!" Reporter Hong arrogantly said,
"This article exposed your true color. There were photos of you entering and leaving a hotel with an anonymous man, even you getting intimate with him. Do you still dare deny? I wonder if Ms. Xu enjoyed sleeping with different men."
XuJia Li only smiled as she gazed at Hong Tingguang, clearly provoking the latter.
This only made Hong Tingguang even more triggered and annoyed,
"What? Giving us a silent treatment? We've been waiting for your explanation since your scandal with Li Yun. The posts about you were all taken down. You even asked Si Weimin to be the male lead even though he doesn't know how to act. Explain yourself! Didn't you use your body to seduce Si Weimin to be the main lead in this movie?"
"I don't know that Mr. Hong thinks highly of me." XuJia Li grinned.
"Hmph!You!" Hong Tingguang was furious, the vein on his neck bulged.
"Alright, since Mr. Hong is dying to hear my answer, I'll give them to you." She chuckled before she continued, "I just hope that Mr. Hong won't tell me to stop once I started."
"Cut to the chase! Don't ever think of deceiving us with your words! Your dirt had been dug up already!"
"Very well. I would like to see the same level of ferocity once I'm done."
