Chapter 823: The Cat Cries Over the Rat

Sun Weimeng’s little brain was spinning.

He asked uncertainly, "Do you want to release Cheng Qingnian?"

Huo Xingzhou did not give a direct answer, but said: "Get her a pass to the press conference and let her speak freely."

How to perform?

A big press conference?

"Okay, I'll do it. She's really stupid, so I'll just provide her with a one-stop service."

In short, this little thing can definitely be done.

"Well, I'll send you two bodyguards."

"That's fine. She's too much of a troublemaker. I'm really afraid that she'll be killed by Lu Bannong. But I heard that there will be a lot of media at this press conference. Lu Bannong probably won't kill anyone to silence them."

"Is her ID ready?"

Sun Wei nodded. "With the Huo family as guarantor, who would hesitate? It's just an ID card, and it will be done soon. She is now staring at the newly issued ID card. Maybe the age on it is too much of a shock to her."

She has been in a coma for more than 20 years, so these memories are blank to her.

It doesn't seem real.

Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "Handle this matter properly and don't tell Qiao Xi."

"I see. She's soft-hearted."

Sun Weimeng is very strict when it comes to keeping his mouth shut and will never let anything slip.

…

The next morning.

The Huo family villa was quiet, and the bodyguards were hiding in the dark. Only Xiaoyuan was busy in the kitchen, and the steam was rising.

A thin figure came down the stairs stealthily, tiptoeing like a thief. She bent down to avoid the sight of the kitchen, wearing a thick sweater and cashmere windbreaker, and a pair of high boots.

She saw this "fashionable" way of dressing on her phone.

Cheng Qingnian moved very slowly. She remembered many of Sun Weimeng's words yesterday, especially the news that Lu Bangnong was going to hold a press conference.

She also indirectly learned the location from the young master and how to use the map software. She even managed to get the young master to teach her how to send red envelopes and cheated him out of several hundred yuan.

It's not easy to lock her up in this small villa.

She will go to meet him and come back soon, so it shouldn't alarm others.

Cheng Qingnian walked outside the villa, didn't see anyone, and ran out.

She was weak and out of breath. Finally, not far from the villa, she saw a taxi.

What luck, she thought!

So I got in and told the taxi my destination, and it sped away.

The terrace on the second floor of the villa.

Sun Weimeng couldn't help but complain to Lao Chen: "It's so hard to pretend not to see her. The bodyguards in the villa have to try their best to avoid being seen. Xiaoyuan has been in the kitchen for more than two hours and hasn't come out. I arranged the taxi. I spent two thousand yuan to hire a car for a day just to take her to the press conference."

He really went to great lengths to make Cheng Qingnian believe that he had successfully escaped.

She must be very proud now.

Old Chen couldn't help but say, "Young Master Sun, you've worked so hard."

"It's not hard. It's my honor to serve Huo Xingzhou. And I heard that today's press conference will be broadcast live. I'm looking forward to seeing the show." Sun Weimeng leaned against the railing and said, "Old Chen, do you think that if people lie down for a long time, their brains will not work well?"

Lao Chen thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe."

"She was used by Lu Bannong to the point of being completely exploited, yet she still wanted to meet him. I really don't understand. If this happened to me, I would definitely take an axe and chop Lu Bannong half to death."

"Young Master Sun, you cannot use violence."

"snort!"

…

the other side.

Cheng Qingnian held her cell phone nervously as the taxi she was riding in soon arrived at the entrance of a majestic and luxurious hotel.

She got out of the car with some hesitation.

This is very different from the imperial capital in her memory.

She looked at the people entering and leaving the hotel in bright and beautiful clothes, and felt timid. But thinking of the anger and hatred in her heart, she mustered up her courage and walked towards the revolving door.

After entering the hotel, she saw the direction sign for the press conference and walked slowly towards it.

She was anxious along the way, but no one stopped her.

Cheng Qingnian mixed into the group of reporters, walked into the venue and sat among the crowd. She covered her face slightly with her clothes, and her eyes explored everything around her that was unfamiliar.

The reporters were making outlines and occasionally making noises of discussion.

"This press conference must be to officially announce the severance of the relationship with Lu Yingxue. I didn't expect that she knew how to cheat at the age of 18, and then she cultivated her reputation for so many years."

Another person said: "I don't believe Lu Bannong didn't know about this."

"Not necessarily. People are often easily deceived by those around them. Lu Bannong has been the president of the Chinese Medicine Association for decades. It is normal for him to be so busy with his work that he neglected his daughter's upbringing."

"The Lu family has suffered a heavy blow this time, so he should be holding a press conference to repent and see what sincerity he can show."

Cheng Qingnian listened very carefully and wanted to retort several times, but swallowed his words.

Ten o'clock.

The press conference officially begins.

Her eyes fell on the spotlight stage, where Lu Bannong, dressed formally, slowly appeared.

She froze.

Even after all these years, she could still recognize the man she once loved to her core.

He was older, a little fatter, and had a beard.

But this face is still this face.

Lubannong!

The person she thought of countless nights.

Lu Bannong didn't realize that among the reporters in the room there was a former lover.

He nodded slightly to the person in charge and sat down at the long table. He turned on the microphone and said, "Thank you all for taking the time to come. Today's press conference is an explanation from my Lu family to all the people. Before we begin, please allow me to apologize to everyone."

He stood up and bowed deeply.

Ninety degrees.

"We, the Lu family, have failed to live up to the expectations of many people."

Lu Bannong was very sincere. "First of all, I know everyone is concerned about the cheating in the needle testing competition. I am also very angry about this matter! I never knew that Yingxue bribed her opponents and asked them to withdraw from the competition. Not long ago, she got involved with a married man, which made me doubt whether there was something wrong with my education."

There was deep guilt in his eyes: "I have been busy with work for so many years and neglected her education. I thought my daughter was excellent, but I didn't expect... This is all my fault. I hope that people on the Internet can stop scolding her. If you want to scold her, just scold me as a father."

"In order to let her reflect on her mistakes, I severed my relationship with her. I then asked her to behave herself and start over."

Lu Bangnong stood up again and bowed.

"I'm sorry, the Chinese Medicine Association has already dealt with her appropriately. I also hereby announce that I will not be involved in any affairs of the Chinese Medicine Association and will retire. From now on, I will practice medicine in the Chinese Medicine Hall, hoping to bring hope to more people. Half of the profits from the Chinese Medicine Hall each year will be used to establish a foundation to help those poor people who have no money to treat their illnesses and no home to return to."

These words are from the heart.

This left many reporters with sharp questions stuck in their mouths, unable to be asked.

Cheng Qingnian couldn't help but speak out when he saw his righteous and upright appearance.
