At Stars corporation.
There wasn't a lot of media. They had just invited a countable number of no more than twenty media houses.
The reporters quietly sat, their curios faces illuminated by the lights from their laptops.
Xiao Ai didn't change her clothes. She wore a light blue simple body fitting dress that rested just a bit above her knees. Along was a pair of high heeled strap sandals. The ends of the rope tied into a beautiful bow.
Her doctors coat still hung around her neck shielding the most beauty of the dress. But it was obvious to anyone at first glance that she was a real beauty although her face had little make up on it. The announcement was a life broadcast on Stars Corporation official social page.
Walking towards the hugh podium, the sounds of her heels clicking were the only audible thing. The female reporters were jealous of her beauty while the male couldn't take their eyes off. She was simply too good looking. A faint smile one her thin lips, her hands clasped together behind her.
She stood there like a female president ready to address her subordinates.
Chairwoman Mo went forward. Adjusting the speaker, she looked though the whole crowd for nothing in particular.
With Xioa Ai standing next to her, it was obvious they were a pair of mother and daughter.
Their beauty was exactly the same except that the mother looked Asian while the daughter looked foreign.
"Today on behalf of the Mo family and Stars Corporation we would like to announce that we have absolutely nothing to do with the Zhao family." she began in a firm voice." The news of my daughters poisoning, is no new thing to you all here. Though it has been cleared and the perpetrator is facing judgment, my daughter here would not want to take any gamble. The announcement today is a simple one so I hope the media writes in a simple tone and avoid any unnecessary sentences." she warned in a tone not so strict but no so friendly.
The media were known to spread false information at times and even add their own spice to a piece of news. This fact was no strange to anyone including the media themselves.
Hearing Chairwoman Mo warn them, the reporters present had a slightly embarrassed expression on their faces as they rapidly typed away on their laptops and took a few snaps at the woman a dressing them.
Chairwoman Mo motioned for Xiao Ai to come forward.
Xiao Ai walked gently, replacing her mother in front of the media.
Once again they could not help but be moved. Though this woman's reputation wasn't very good, as she was quite shameless and cunning, they couldn't deny that she was a femme fatale.
After few seconds of pin drop silence. An elegant smile appeared on Xiao Ais matured face. Her stance changed as she stood straight suddenly carrying the aura of a beautiful young heiress. They were awed by the quick change in demeanor.
"Hello everyone, I am Mo Ai." she greeted flashing her pearly white teeth with a charming smile that was enough to take ones breath away.
As if on spell, the reporters paused their typing hands and stared at the young lady once more.
They couldn't predict if this was their Nation's most shameless doctor and citizen or a noble young lady from a prestigious background.
At Gu Corporation, the staff dared not peek too much at their boss.
They had seen their boss bring Miss Zhao up the day before and had guessed that there must be something going on between those two.
They had waited for the news on weibo and other platforms ready to join in the gossip but upon seeing nothing, they guessed their boss must have suppressed the news.
Now they had to stuff such great gossip in their stomach. It made them want to explode with words but what more could they do....this was Emperor Gus territory.
Gu Bojing was merely passing by, when he saw the life broadcast about Stars Corporation on the television. He passed his steps and saw his little wife, standing there like the most obedient woman ever.
Her sweet, firm and charming voice traveled to his ears causing ripples of emotions on his heart.
"Hello everyone, I am Mo Ai."
Even he was stunned. His wife was indeed a great beauty.
The fountain pen in his hands shook slightly as he had applied a bit more force on it, he couldn't help but remember that in her heart, he might not be there.
He suddenly felt pity for himself
He wished he was him.
He wished it was all a misunderstanding and that she had him at heart.
He wished....
The staff could no longer care weather there boss was present or not, they had to ogle this beautiful miss.
"Awww..Miss Zhao is so beautiful. "
"She makes me want to hug the television. "
"I suddenly feel like changing my sexuality. I want to be her girlfriend."
Gu Bojing glanced over at the young ladies and they immediately dispersed almost colliding into each other as they were frightened by his presence.
Damn! They almost forgot their boss had a thing with her.
The reporters were still shocked when they suddenly came back to their senses and grasped what Xiao Ai had just said.
Did she say she was Mo Ai?
Mo Ai? Not Zhao Ai?
A female reporter was the first to speak up.
"Miss Zhao, did you say you Mo Ai? What does this mean?"
"Miss Zhao, are you changing your family name?"
"Miss Zhao, are you trying to ditch the Zhao family for the Mo family?"
"Miss Zhao..is it because the Mo family's more powerful?"
They frantically asked not giving her room to adjust to their questions.
Xiao Ai swept her sharp eagle gaze across the reporters who were still talking and their immediately became quiet.
How terrifying?
"I believe that each reporter here as a common human sense. If I have introduced myself as Mo Ai and not as Zhao Ai you should grasp the meaning behind it without me having to say much." she started first scolding their manner of questioning." And, as for the reporter in grey..." she pointed " ditching the Zhao Family for the Mo family?" She repeated a mocking gaze in her eyes.
The male reporter felt ashamed and small. He wished he could hide from her sharp gaze but Xiao Ai was straring at him like a prey and he suddenly felt that no matter where he hid, he would still be tormented by her gaze.
"If it were you would your very best decision be to still be connected to a family who wishes your whole self never existed? Would you find it in your very honorable and wise mind to stay in a family where favoritism is a regular meal? If yes then you can always visit me...I have met a lot of deranged patients. Yours wouldn't be a big deal." she scolded causing a scowl to form on the faces of other reporters.
Before they could continue, Xiao Ai spoke. " Yes the Mo family is more powerful. I was foolish enough in the past to have left such a beautiful and prestigious family, but everyone makes mistake and I believe that I wouldn't need to question anyone's IQ before answering the next question."
As the reporters were about to speak, Xiao Ai suddenly raised a finger at them, a faint smile on her lips." Orderliness makes a society healthy and fit for living. I hope you all can respect that."
The reporters were once again awed. They were reporters, they were good with words but Xiao Ai was too sharp tongued for them.
Who knew that the shameless doctor who seemed to do nothing than con people would have a serious side to her.
She even spoke sense without swindling anyone.
"Miss Zhao regard..."
"Miss Mo."Xiao Ai corrected. "Lets get used to to this shall we?" She slowly asked.
The reporters nodded in agreement.
Chairwoman Mo watching from the side couldn't help but feel proud. She had always known that Xiao Ai was smart with words.
Her Aura was even more imposing than hers. At first she was scared that Xiao Ai would try to be shameless with the media but now she was calm.
This daughter of hers has a time when she's serious too.
She just hoped Xiao Ai wouldn't go back to how she was in the past.
"Hmmm...Miss Mo regarding the Zhao family, is Miss Zhao Baozhai really your sister?"
"Miss Mo tell us, why is Madam Dong married to your father?"
"Miss Mo you mentioned that Favoritism was common in the Zhao Family, what did you mean?"
Although they asked one after another since Xiao Ai had questioned their orderliness, their questions still made Xiao Ai feel like she was talking to a bunch of mentally retarded humans.
Xiao Ai held her forehead with one hand as she glanced at the media again.
"Any issue regarding the Zhao Family should be directed to them. If you really are so interested in my family issues why don't you all come up one after another and tell us about your family issues first?' she asked throwing a glare at certain reporters.
Few seconds passed and no one spoke up so Xiao Ai decided to end everything. "Since no one is interested in telling us there family stories I will assume that you all understand what this conference is about and like my mom had said I believe you will smartly type and not type nonsense." she added descending down the podium.
The reporters were still typing when they heard her last sentence.
This woman?
Can she not spare them a minute without trying to indirectly insult them?
Who speaks to the media in such manner?
Of course it was on Mo Ai that dared to do such thing. After all her reputation was the most shameless.
The lady had nothing more to lose in terms of reputation.
They had no choice but to end the conference on a good note and type smartly as Xiao Ai had said.
After all it was a life broadcast if they were to type other irrelevant stuff no doubt the public criticism will be on them.
Not now that Xiao Ai has her own fan base.
Back Stage, some staffs were praising Xiao Ai for her well done PR. She only nodded or give them a smile.
I have not the time for you all ass lickers.
"Mom, where did grandfather go? I haven't seen him at all."
"Your grandfather rarely comes to the company so he is off with some old directors playing chess on the last floor. He finally had the chance to slip away from your grandmother for some time, did you think he would waste those precious moments on you?" Her mom said patting her back and laughing softly.
Xiao Ai understood and returned a smile
Her grandmother was a bit strict with her grandfather. She could imagine how they were like in their youthful days.
She imagined her grandfather agreeing to every little thing grandmother said. He had probably given her the higher hand back then.
Regardless of how old they were, it didn't hide that were quite in love with each other.
Xiao Ai excused herself from her mother saying she had work at the hospital which was not entirely true as she only couldn't wait to have a chat with Xu Ning.
Xiao Ai felt that Xu Ning knew a lot important stuff than she did.
She was from the future, that Xiao Ai couldn't beat her in.
As she stepped out of Stars Corporation, she was met with a group of girls and boys and some other reporters.
"Goddess Mo, I want to be cool like you."
"Goddess, just look at me..one look"
"Goddess you were so cool earlier."
"Goddess no matter how shameless you are we will always support you."
"Goddess, teach us a few shameless tricks too."
"Ahh..Goddess is so beautiful."
Xiao Ai could feel an headache coming through.
What shameless trick.
This little ones would make her break the facade of the elegant lady she had managed to portray.
Xiao Ai wore an apologetic smile as she tried to walk through the crowd with the help of the security.
"Am sorry everyone but I have to head back to the hospital. Thank you for your concern."
She was no celebrity, so why were they bothering her.
"Ah..yes yes goddess needs to go the hospital."
"You all make way for the goddess."
"Don't make me break your heads. Quick make way for our goddess of shamelessness."
Xiao Ai was still walking forward when she heard this. She instantly turned back an unsure smile on her beautiful face.
What goddess of shamelessness?
If they wanted to praise her, then they should do so.
Xiao Ai had thought she had managed to escape them but their screams and questions simply went to the next level.
"Goddess Doctor Mo, I suddenly feel like am retarded, I need a psychologist."
"Yes..me too. I am emotionally stressed out. Can I visit you at the hospital."
"Goddess, I have a brain malfunction. Can you make an appointment for me with you?"
"Goddess I also want an appointment. "
"I said it first! First come, first serve!!"
"No way! Am mentally retarded isn't my case more urgent?"
"Goddess pick me first. I will be sure to get better quick."
"Goddess...."
What brain malfunction?
Where they all fools?
She's a psychologist not a neurosurgeon ok?
Xiao Ai quickly flagged a taxi and slipped away.
Those fans of hers were just as retarded as the reporters.
She wondered where they came from?
Xiao Ai was walking towards Xu Nings ward when she got a call from Little Guy.
"En. Its fine. Report. "
After few minutes of listening to the conversation from the other side she put her phone away.
So it was him?
He was the one trying to block the news.
All the way from Russia?
It seemed that she had underestimated his influence.
Xiao Ai felt it was weird that they was no news of her relationship with Gu Bojing.
Since Gu Bojing didn't mention it, she didn't bother asking but she knew he couldn't have been the one to block the news. They both had no problem with revealing their relationship.
Besides blocking the media from releasing the news would take a lot off effort.
He was capable of such. She knew. He must have used his underground methods on the stubborn ones.
This fool...was he implying that he was still chasing her?
She would have to give him a call later.
Xiao Ai was about to open the door when the door opened from inside.
With a sneer in her face, the other doctors spoke." Isn't this Mo Ai, nations most shameless. You enter and leave the hospital as you wish..." she sighed."hmmm...I wish I was also poisoned so I could walk in and out as I wish."
"Fuck off! Lifen you can walk in out as you wish after all you are a quack...say do you quacks get busy these days?" She mocked her best friend.
"You...crazy being. Mo Ai the most shameless quack ever."
"Crazy being... Long Lifen, the most shameless quack ever.". She repeated.
Xu Ning couldn't take their best friend bickering so she tried to calm them both.
"Excuse you two but there's a patient here?" She feebly said raising her tiny hands.
Xiao Ai and Lifen shot her a mocking gaze.
What patient?
Wasn't she here on pretense?
