After discovering that Meng Jie was also in the audience, General Manager Wu couldn't sit still any longer. He turned to his staff and instructed them to invite her.

Meng Jie was engrossed in watching when suddenly someone appeared beside her, bowing and scraping as they said, "President Meng, our General Manager Wu would like to invite you over."

Following his words, Meng Jie glanced in the direction of President Wu and saw him nodding and smiling at her.

She calmly withdrew her gaze and politely declined, saying, "No need. I'm just here to watch the game. Just treat me as a spectator. There's no need to make such a fuss."

After the staff went back and relayed the message, General Manager Wu was still uneasy, glancing at Meng Jie every now and then.

His actions not only attracted the attention of the audience, but also made the contestants on stage aware of Meng Jie's presence.

"Is that President Meng Jie?"

"It seems so! Oh my god, President Meng is here too! We have to perform well, in case we get noticed and selected for the Yi Group!"

"Would someone as important as President Meng come for something like this? I have a feeling she came because of someone important. Who has such influence? Could it be Qiong?"

While the other two contestants were whispering and discussing amongst themselves, Lin Hui seemed to have lost her soul and couldn't even stand up straight.

Her mind was completely confused by the fact that Su Yan was Qiong, and she couldn't even muster the energy to work on her design drafts during the competition.

The competition ended while she was in a daze, and the result was obvious.

When the judges received Su Yan's design drafts again, they were like completely different people. They observed them with an attitude of appreciation and learning, and occasionally let out a gasp of amazement.

In this battle between a king and a gold-level player, the outcome is not that important.

Holding the trophy, Su Yan smiled and shook hands with President Wu, "President Wu, it is a great honor to work with you. I hope we can cooperate well in the future."

Mr. Wu held her hand tightly, reluctant to let go, his face beaming.

"What are you saying? You've already proven your abilities; this order is definitely yours."

Just as he was speaking happily, someone suddenly squeezed in next to him, and he could barely hold onto Su Yan's hand.

Mr. Wu turned around in annoyance, only to be met with Yi An's fake smile.

"Mr. Wu, since you enjoy handshakes so much, why don't you shake mine? Mine is softer!"

He added a special note: self-promotion.

Mr. Wu reluctantly let go of Su Yan's hand, and was about to politely decline Yi An's offer when suddenly a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He looked over in surprise and saw that the area in front of the stage had been surrounded by groups of reporters.

Yi An grabbed his hand, which was frozen in mid-air, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "No need to thank me, this is free publicity."

Mr. Wu was about to unleash a torrent of profanity: "Do I need your publicity?! Do I really need that little bit of money?!"

Yi An smiled and reminded him, "Mr. Wu, remember to smile."

Even though Mr. Wu was unwilling, he had to grin widely, looking as if he were very close to Yi An.

Seeing the two's close relationship, the reporter couldn't help but ask questions.

"Mr. Wu, recently someone posted intimate photos of you and Qiong online. What is your relationship? Can you explain?"

Mr. Wu had originally arranged for someone to clarify the matter after the competition. Now is the perfect time; he can use the camera to explain everything that has happened recently.

"we are·····"

He had barely opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, when his camera was completely obscured by Yi An's body.

Just as he was about to express his dissatisfaction, he saw Yi An reach out and pull Su Yan into his arms.

"Can't you see what kind of relationship we have? We're just friends."

The reporter originally only wanted to interview Mr. Wu about the matter, but unexpectedly, another big scoop fell from the sky.

The lights flashed incessantly, as if trying to illuminate the entire stadium as if it were daytime.

"Mr. Yi, are you making your relationship public?"

Su Yan was stunned when she heard this.

It's true that she entered into a contractual marriage with Yi'an, but that doesn't mean it has to be made a huge public spectacle and known to everyone.

"We actually..."

Just as Su Yan was about to explain, Yi An put his arm around her shoulder.

Yi An turned her head and whispered in her ear: "If you want to completely clear up all the slander you've been suffering recently, this is the most fundamental way."

Su Yan could tell he was talking nonsense, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "I think you're being a bit too nosy."

Yi'an was not annoyed by her assessment; instead, she smiled slyly.

"I love meddling in your business, and I'll meddle for the rest of my life."

After saying this, he immediately turned to all the reporters and said, "Recently, many people with malicious intentions have been attacking and slandering my wife online. My wife is kind and believes in the principle that the innocent will clear themselves, but that does not mean I will give up."

He grinned, revealing a handsome smile.

"Please keep this lawyer's letter from the Yi Group safe."

These words were spoken so gently, as if they had no harm whatsoever, yet they sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

The legal department of the Yi Group has always been feared. It seems that those things on the internet who have been talking nonsense these past few days are going to be in big trouble.

Su Yan turned her head to look at Yi An, and from her angle, she could just see his sharply defined chin.

Her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and her ears still felt a burning sensation.

Yi An turned to Su Xiaoyu and Yi Kangle, "Could you all please take a family photo for us?"

Su Yan's gaze drifted to Meng Jie, who was standing outside the crowd, and she suddenly said, "Wait a minute, we've forgotten one person."

She ran over quickly, took Meng Jie's hand, and pulled her over without asking a single question.

Meng Jie was stunned for a moment, wanting to resist, but after reaching out her hand, she slowly withdrew it.

Under Su Yan's deliberate direction, Yi An stood on the other side of Meng Jie.

He tentatively moved closer to her, and just as the shutter was about to be pressed, he gently put his arm around her shoulder.

This happy family of five has made many people envious, but it has also made many single people feel bitter, like they've eaten lemons.

Despite being the main character, Mr. Wu was squeezed out of the crowd, twisting his sleeves tightly and looking at Su Yan taking the family photo with a resentful expression.

After everyone had left, and the reporter, carrying a full load of material, departed satisfied, Su Yan took the initiative to suggest, "Auntie, if you don't have anything else to do, let's have dinner together tonight. Xiao Bao and Xiao Yu have been saying they've missed their grandma for a long time."

Meng Jie thought about it for a moment, then neither agreed nor refused.

Su Yan simply made the arrangements, "There aren't enough seats in one car, so you can ride with Auntie. I'll take Xiaobao, Xiaoyu, and Zhao Bo in another car."

As she spoke, she shoved Yi'an.

Yi An understood that she was intentionally creating an opportunity for her to speak with Meng Jie, so she did not refuse and obediently complied with her wishes, getting into Meng Jie's car.
