Seeing Li Anran's arrogant and domineering demeanor, Lu Jianming said to his entourage, "Find a reason to call Li Anran down."
Seeing Lu Shen surrounded by reporters, his subordinate rummaged through his black bag and found a faded press pass, which he quietly slipped around his neck.
The man carefully examined the scene and struck up a conversation with the crowd around him: "Hey, isn't this Zhang's from the fish maw family?"
Clearly, the other person didn't recognize him, and a blank expression appeared on their face. Then, they immediately changed their expression, smiled, and said, "Is this brother new here? I've never seen him before."
The man chuckled and joked, "I'm just Xiaoyu's new assistant. I'm here to help out my brother. It's normal that Brother Zhang hasn't seen me before."
Reporter Zhang waved to the man, gesturing, "Come on, squeeze over here, we can squeeze in another one."
In the blink of an eye, the man found an opening and inserted himself.
Seeing the throngs of people moving about, he quietly squeezed his way into the center of the crowd.
He picked up his voice recorder and silently walked to Li Anran's side.
While everyone's attention was focused on Lu Shen and Jian Ruoxi, he leaned close to Li Anran's ear and whispered, "Sister Li, I need to talk to you."
Li Anran stood frozen in place.
This guy is not someone to be trifled with. He just made a scene in front of so many reporters, causing an uncontrollable situation. Now that he's being told to leave, Li Anran can guess what will happen to him without even having to say anything more.
The man stood behind her, and she casually poked his arm with the pen in her hand.
She could only offer a generous and gentle smile to the netizens while quietly walking off the stage.
Looking at the dimly lit cigarette butt in the corner, Li Anran knew she had really angered Lu Jianming this time, so she cautiously walked towards him.
"Brother Lu," Li Anran called out timidly.
Lu Jianming leaned close to Li Anran's ear and whispered, "Don't forget that the child in your belly isn't Lu Shen's."
Li Anran was so frightened that she couldn't speak; her mouth made muffled sounds, and she couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
She originally wanted to express her loyalty to Lu Jianming, saying that she did all this for Lu Jianming's future plans, but her mouth was not under her control and she could only open her mouth without making a sound.
Lu Jianming continued to threaten her: "I'm warning you, if you keep making trouble, I'll tell everyone the truth."
After saying this, Lu Jianming had his subordinates come over and escort Li Anran back to Lu Shen's side.
"Miss Li, please come with me." The subordinate politely helped Li Anran up; her legs were already weak and wouldn't obey his commands.
Lu Jianming glanced at her disdainfully, feeling quite annoyed that she hadn't followed his original plan.
With his head down, Li Anran returned to Lu Shen's side with the help of his subordinates. However, he had long lost his previous arrogance and was now looking at his feet with his head down, feeling uneasy.
I wonder what will happen to me after the press conference ends, since Lu Jianming's methods are extremely cruel.
Realizing she had been a bit too arrogant, Li Anran grew increasingly frightened. She simply let her legs give way, pretending to feel dizzy and nauseous, and collapsed on the spot.
"Ah, Li Anran has fainted." A female reporter discovered that Li Anran was unconscious on the stage.
So he strode forward to help Li Anran, but there were also some cold-blooded people around who were only interested in taking pictures.
Lu Shen turned around and looked at Li Anran, who was lying on the ground. The female reporter handed Li Anran's arm to Lu Shen, who also took out his phone and immediately dialed for an ambulance.
At this moment, the old lady of the Lu family also rushed to the press conference. She had also heard some rumors that the scene had become bloody.
At the same time, Lu Shen wanted to continue helping Jian Ruoxi, but was held back by the old lady of the Lu family, who wouldn't let him move an inch.
"What are you doing now? You're supporting Li Anran with one hand, trying to call an ambulance for her, while trying to protect Jian Ruoxi with the other," the old lady of the Lu family gently scolded Lu Shen.
The ambulance arrived quickly and carried Li Anran onto a stretcher.
The old lady of the Lu family poked Lu Shen hard with one finger: "Why aren't you hurrying up and going to see her? This is your fiancée!"
Lu Shen was reluctant and didn't move an inch, still wanting to speak up for Jian Ruoxi in front of the reporters.
However, they were surrounded by bodyguards brought by the matriarch of the Lu family. The matriarch said, "Don't be so stubborn. The reporters are still here. Do you want to completely ruin your reputation?"
After saying that, he instructed the bodyguard: "Take him with you and come with me."
However, the bodyguards didn't dare to do anything excessive to Lu Shen; they simply surrounded him and gestured for him to enter.
Lu Shen had no choice but to give up, but he still turned back to give Jian Ruoxi a reassuring look before following the old lady of the Lu family forward.
Jian Ruoxi did not show much emotion.
After leaving the scene, Lu Shen couldn't help but question the old lady of the Lu family: "I couldn't say what you were trying to do in front of so many people just now."
"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of things from now on. Li Anran is now your fiancée, so you should take care of her." The old lady said as she opened the car door and got in.
She beckoned Lu Shen to come in, but Lu Shen was utterly puzzled: "Li Anran is someone you've taken a liking to, but not someone I've taken a liking to."
Before Lu Shen could say a few words, Old Madam Lu quickly slipped out of the car from the other side.
Lu Shen then realized that he had fallen into the old lady's trap. He grabbed the door handle and forced it open, only to find that the old lady had locked the car doors from the inside.
Furious, he pounded on the car window and shouted from inside, "Open the door!"
However, the old lady ignored his roar and returned to the press conference.
As she walked down the street, Old Mrs. Lu pondered how to explain to the reporters that both of them carried the Lu family's bloodline.
When they saw that Grandma Lu had returned, they rushed forward in droves.
"Grandma Lu, did you come out to quell this public opinion?"
Grandma Lu smiled at the reporters and said, "The child in Jian Ruoxi's belly is the product of the two of them losing control after drinking. It's an accident. Please don't focus your attention on this anymore."
Jian Ruoxi never intended to rely on the Lu family, and now Old Madam Lu's remarks have further enraged her.
What does "product of drunken loss of control" mean? I'm definitely carrying your Lu family's child, but Li Anran might not be.
She stepped forward and addressed the crowd, saying, "I have already said that the child in my womb has nothing to do with anyone else, and I will raise the child on my own."
Meanwhile, the media, bribed by Han Mingyi and Li Anran, continued to publish extensive articles smearing Jian Ruoxi, claiming that she was pregnant with an illegitimate child and was a homewrecker.
The series of scandals continued to escalate, causing Jian Ruoxi's career to plummet.
