Jian Ruoxi finished speaking with a smile, while the reporters listened in shock.
The venue erupted in chaos the very next second after the speaker finished speaking and listening.
The reporters all thought Jian Ruoxi had gone mad.
What did she just say? Lu Shen seduced her?
Good heavens, does she even know what she's saying?!
That's Lu Shen, the head of the Lu Group and the eldest son of the Lu family!
Why would someone like him actively try to seduce Jian Ruoxi? And he's already divorced, his ex-wife?
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Jian Ruoxi must be crazy, otherwise how could she dare to say such a thing? And she did it so calmly, as if she wasn't afraid of offending Lu Shen at all.
Who gave her the audacity to use Lu Shen as a scapegoat? Was it the child in her womb?
The audience erupted in uproar, questioning Jian Ruoxi's words.
"Impossible! How could Lu Shen possibly seduce you? Jian Ruoxi, if you're going to shift the blame, you should at least come up with a believable reason! Trying to push all the responsibility onto Young Master Lu like this? Do you think we're fools?"
"That's right! Everyone knows that Lu Shen and Li Anran are a couple. You divorced Lu Shen because of Li Anran. They're already engaged, so you're just a mistress now!"
"That's right, a mistress! Jian Ruoxi, you know you're a mistress, so don't think you can twist the truth just because someone spoke up for you earlier! Hey, the lady who spoke up for Li Anran earlier, did you hear that? We're not attacking her personally, she really deserves to be scolded! What? I'm stating the facts, and you're still glaring at me?"
Ali almost rushed out again.
What do these reporters know? That Li Anran and Lu Shen are a couple? If Lu Shen heard that, he'd probably shut down any media outlet that said that. He'd be more than happy for Li Anran to get out of the Lu family, or even disappear from his world completely. He's probably already trying to get her out of the Lu Group.
Jian Ruoxi calmly reached out and stopped Ali, her expression remaining unchanged as she faced the group of indignant reporters who kept calling her a "mistress."
There was a time when she believed that Lu Shen and Li Anran were a couple. No one present had the right to emphasize this to her.
“I have never denied that Lu Shen and Li Anran are a couple, ever since the day I married Lu Shen.”
Once the reporters' voices subsided, Jian Ruoxi spoke calmly, each word clear and distinct, "When I divorced Lu Shen, it was a peaceful divorce, and everything was clearly and explicitly settled. I never denied their relationship, and after the divorce, I never actively bothered them. It was Lu Shen who came looking for me, not me. I wouldn't actively seek him out. These are the facts, and I have a clear conscience, so I dare to say them, regardless of your reaction, whether you believe it or not."
Jian Ruoxi's eyes were firm as she sharply scanned the group of media members, taking in their expressions.
Some reacted with surprise, others with sarcasm, disdain, or doubt. Everyone's reaction was different, yet everyone unanimously failed to fully believe her.
It doesn't matter anymore, anyway, what she said is true. Just as she said, she has a clear conscience.
Li Anran stared intently at Jian Ruoxi, who stood calmly on the stage, her eyes as cold and sinister as the most venomous snake.
Wow, today's press conference was truly full of twists and turns, absolutely spectacular! She's never seen such a wonderful show before!
She was initially pleased with the two reporters' remarks, but Ali's appearance immediately dampened her excitement.
What is she doing here? And so openly speaking up for Jian Ruoxi! How could the boss allow her to do this? Isn't she afraid of having trouble explaining herself to the boss?
Damn it! With Ali around, it'll be much harder for these reporters to make things difficult for Jian Ruoxi.
As expected. Ali, having received meticulous training from her boss, silenced the reporters with her very first words. Coupled with her own powerful and imposing aura, she completely intimidated the entire scene.
How are these reporters supposed to stir things up? She didn't come here to see this kind of scene!
Fortunately, for some reason, Jian Ruoxi actually offered to answer the two reporters' incredibly rude questions. Just as she was waiting to see Jian Ruoxi dig her own grave, she heard her say that Lu Shen had taken the initiative to seduce her.
The fire in Li Anran's heart was instantly ignited by Jian Ruoxi's words.
What did she say? Lu Shen took the initiative to seduce her?
Impossible! How could this be? She clearly used some underhanded tricks to lure Lu Shen away, and now she actually has the nerve to say that Lu Shen took the initiative to seduce her? What, is she trying to show off to me in a roundabout way?
Look! The person Lu Shen cares about now is me, Jian Ruoxi, not you, Li Anran!
Ha, how come she didn't know that Jian Ruoxi is now so veiled in her sarcasm?
Li Anran was trembling with anger, but she managed to control herself and didn't lash out on the spot.
However, Jian Ruoxi's next words added fuel to her already raging anger, causing it to rage wildly and almost destroy all her reason.
Jian Ruoxi actually said that she had never denied that Lu Shen and she were a couple?! How could she have the nerve to say such a thing?
If she has always acknowledged her relationship with Lu Shen, why did she shamelessly try to steal him from me? Why did she get pregnant with Lu Shen's child after divorcing him? Why can she now live comfortably in the Lu family with her child?
She knew perfectly well that she was already Lu Shen's fiancée, yet she still insisted on interfering in their relationship.
Jian Ruoxi, do you think what you've said matches what you've done? Do you really think everyone is blind?
She even said that Lu Shen took the initiative to find her...
If she hadn't seduced him first, how could Lu Shen have even given his ex-wife a glance, and how could they have had a child together?
It's clearly all Jian Ruoxi's fault, so why can she always so naturally shift the blame onto others, making herself innocent and carefree?
Can you still say you have a clear conscience?
Ha! Jian Ruoxi, do you really have a heart? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for saying such things?
Li Anran grew angrier and angrier as she listened, her body trembling. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped up from her hiding corner, glared fiercely at Jian Ruoxi, and unleashed a torrent of angry curses.
"Pah! Jian Ruoxi, how dare you spout nonsense here? It's clear that you did everything! You seduced Lu Shen first! You're a shameless vixen! A slut! You couldn't bear to give up your position as the young mistress of the Lu family, so you tried every means to climb up to Lu Shen, and even used tricks to get pregnant with his child! Lu Shen doesn't like you at all, and he would never take the initiative to find you! Stop trying to shirk responsibility!"
