"I just hope that in the future, no one will learn or commit crimes because of other people's words or actions, and I don't want to hear about people committing crimes because of learning from me. Because you are the only one responsible for your own life, so whether you hate me or yourself for committing crimes because of me or not, you should take responsibility."
"That's all I have to say today. I won't say anything more about the past. But after today, I will never accept such accusations again." Zhu Jin's face was calm. After he finished speaking, he bowed again and sat back.
"Ms. Lian Nan..." Lian Hui'er didn't expect her to answer so bluntly, not caring at all whether she would offend anyone. She was stunned for a moment before she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Jin, "I received an interview notice about Princess Helian Zhen's succession to the throne. Please ask the reporter directly about the relevant questions!"
Lian Huier looked at Zhu Jin in silence for three seconds, a sharp look flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled, "Since Miss Lian Nan has asked for this, we will respectfully obey."
After saying that, his smile suddenly disappeared. "As the representative of the Blue Water Star, the basic qualities and ability requirements for a princess have always been very high. You have done very well in this regard before. However, as far as I know, your successor, Princess Helian Zhen, has performed mediocre in all aspects." Lian Huier's question was beyond the expectations of Helian Lan and Ye Banxia, and was extremely sharp.
"Let's not talk about other aspects. At today's coronation ceremony, Princess Helian Zhen's handwriting was much worse than many people's. Miss Lian Nan had committed a crime due to her status as a princess, which had caused a huge increase in people's doubts about the royal family. Now the royal family has put forward Helian Zhen, who is surrounded by doubts, as the successor princess. Miss Lian Nan, what are your true thoughts on this? What do you think about everyone's doubts about Princess Helian Zhen's ability? Do you think she can serve as a princess?"
After Lian Huier asked several questions in succession, many people couldn't help but gasp.
Lian Huier's questions were too straightforward and skillful. They were originally just questions, but because of her choice of words and order, she led people to draw the answers that the interviewer should give.
According to the conventional approach, no one would be satisfied with Zhu Jin's answer. Even Hui'er's seemingly simple questions completely blocked Zhu Jin's way to give a cautious and objective answer.
"Ms. Lian Nan, you can refuse to answer such questions!" So, as soon as Lian Huier finished speaking, Ye Banxia stood up immediately.
Lian Huier seemed not to have heard Ye Banxia's protest. She just stared at Zhu Jin with a determined smile.
As a journalist, Lian Huier became world-famous in a short period of time. She can grasp the emotions of the interviewees more accurately than her own. She is also best at using the interviewees' weaknesses to attack them, making them lose control, angry, and say the answers she wants most. Over the years, this has been successful every time.
Lian Nan cared the most about her princess status. She always remembered the moment when her princess status was taken away. Lian Nan looked as if she was dead. Yesterday, Helian Lan came to see Lian Nan, and she would definitely ask her to support Helian Zhenji's recognition as a princess. But she didn't just ask her attitude.
Lian Nan once cared the most about her identity, and it could even be said that she lived for that identity, the position of princess, but now it is occupied by someone like Helian Zhen. Even though Helian Zhen is Lian Nan's sister and they have had a good relationship since childhood, Helian Zhen's ability is there. It is conceivable how aggrieved and angry Lian Nan would feel, and Lian Huier is waiting for her to lose control.
After about ten seconds, Lian Hui'er still did not lose control. Zhu Jin just looked back at her quietly, indifferent, just like before.
Lian Huier's plan was correct and cruel enough. If it was Lian Nan, she might have lost control and collapsed at this moment. But she didn't know that the person sitting opposite her was Zhu Jin, not Lian Nan.
Zhu Jin didn't care about her identity as a princess, and she didn't care who would succeed her as princess. Compared to being a princess, what she wanted to do more and was better at doing was just being a doctor.
"I refuse to answer." After a while, Zhu Jin finally spoke, looking at Lian Huier with a determined look and laughed, "If all your questions are like this, I will refuse to answer all your questions." She didn't dare to say she was 100% sure about Lian Huier's thoughts, but she could guess it almost right.
"..." Lian Huier's confident expression and perfect smile that was just right and impeccable began to crack because of Zhu Jin's answer, gaze and smile.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Zhu Jin's gaze and smile at her were filled with helplessness and speechlessness as if he had seen through everything, as if all her thoughts and ideas were seen through, and as if everything she had done was a joke.
Just as Lian Huier was about to approach with anger, a clear female voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting her words and attracting everyone's attention, "Why do you refuse to answer? I have always wanted to know the answer."
The woman who was speaking had a slender and tall yet plump figure, fair skin, delicate facial features, and was wearing a blue dress. She was stunning at first sight.
"I'm Lian Qiao, a staff member of the Planet History Museum. I received the notice that Miss Lian Nan's embroidery was completed and came here to pick it up. I happened to hear reporter Lian's question when I got here. As a museum staff member and also as Lian Nan and Helian Zhen's cousin, I also want to ask what cousin Lian Nan thinks about this issue." The clear and pleasant voice resounded throughout the activity room, attracting everyone's attention.
At this time, the female prison head who had gone to get Zhu Jin's embroidery happened to chase after her, "Miss Lian Qiao, why are you here?" She handed over the box she had carefully protected in her arms, panting slightly, and her tone was full of excitement, "This is Miss Lian Nan's embroidery, it's really amazing..."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lian Qiao took the box, opened it and took a look. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He quickly closed the box, interrupted the female prison boss, and walked forward holding the box.
"Hey?" The female prison boss calmed down from her excitement after being interrupted by her. She looked up and saw the interview scene. She reached out to hold Lian Qiao's hand and swallowed the shouting in her mouth.
"Cousin Lian Nan, you haven't answered reporter Lian's questions yet." Lian Qiao, who suddenly knew too much truth in the morning, had been burning with anger. If she was just dissatisfied with Helian Zhen being a princess before, after one morning, she had reached the point of wanting to pull her down. After the morning ceremony, she watched Lian Huier hurried off to the interview, and the next moment she received a notice from the museum asking her to arrange for someone to go to the prison to pick up Lian Nan's embroidery.
Lian Qiao came over in person without a second thought. Lian Nan was her rival since she was a child. More than half of the reason why she studied so hard was because of Lian Nan. The disputes between cousins have existed for thousands of years. The disputes between Lian Qiao, Lian Nan and Helian Zhen could not help but come out after Lian Qiao heard what Lian Huier said.
