Chapter 194 I Love Him Very Much
Xiao Liao was chatting passionately on the Internet with his mobile phone while the others went outside to help. Once it was quiet, the buzzing sound in Shuang Xu's head became particularly clear, like a bell ringing continuously for a long time.
The voice was there when I was on the stage, rich and dull, spanning the long river of time, coming from five years ago.
Everything seemed to be happening again, and she was once again dragged into the vortex of rumors.
Suddenly, she felt a wet and warm touch on her fingertips. Wansui licked her hand. She lowered her head and saw his dark eyes.
If He Tingzhou were here, he would probably laugh at her and call her a coward without restraint.
"Are you scared by this little fight? What are you afraid of? Can they eat you up?"
Lao Li was out for a long time, and when he came back he looked very unhappy: "There are more and more reporters coming from outside."
Shu Yang clicked his finger and pulled him aside to talk.
"How many are here?"
"There were so many people, blocking the door and refusing to leave. Even the police were there but it was useless. The door to the venue was blocked and not even a fly could fly out. How many people did they invite?"
"The online trolls and offline media have all been mobilized. The Zheng family is determined to stir up public opinion this time."
Lao Li rubbed his face and said, "Now that there is such a big fuss, do you want to clarify it?"
"Half of those people outside were sent by the Zheng family, and half are here to join in the fun. Do they care about the truth? They just want the heat and topics. The more you respond to them, the more excited they become."
What's more, Shu Yang knew Shuang Xu too well, and the sensitive part of this matter was that she really liked Shen Yu.
I can't admit it. If I admit it, I won't be able to explain it at all.
But if Shuang Xu had to go in front of reporters and deny the feelings she had kept in her heart for so many years, she would not do such a shameless thing.
"What should we do? We can't be stuck here forever."
Shu Yang thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Mr. Shen's place and take a look."
The Shen family can suppress this matter if they want to, but even if someone is deliberately making trouble, it will probably take time.
She didn't want Shuang Xu to hear it, but the lounge was so small that Shuang Xu heard it anyway.
After calming down, she slowly understood the Zheng family's intentions.
They wanted her to become infamous, which would certainly not benefit the Zheng family, but an "improper" woman had no right to enter the He family.
What kind of person is He Xingwei? After losing his wife more than 20 years ago, he has never remarried. Although his wife died because of him, a man in a high position can get everything he wants easily. He has been able to stick to his original intention for decades without even a woman by his side for so many years, which is enough to show his determination and principles.
Judging from the confident revelations on the Internet, her image in Commander He's eyes is probably beyond redemption.
He only has one son, He Tingzhou. Will he tolerate him continuing to associate with such a woman?
As long as she and He Tingzhou can't get together, the alliance between the He family and the Shen family will not be successful - this is the real purpose of the Zheng family.
Not long after Shu Yang went out, someone knocked on the door. It was Lao Xu, the driver of the Shen family.
Old Xu said, "Miss Shuang Xu, the young master asked me to take you back first. He will take care of the things here."
Xiao Liao immediately said, "Go home and have a good rest first. We are here to take care of you."
Shuang Xu unconsciously rubbed Wansui's erect ears. After a moment of silence, she stood up and walked out of the lounge.
In addition to Lao Xu, there were two security guards escorting her. Lao Xu led her through the corridor, but when he turned the corner, he found that she was not following him.
Shuang Xu stood at the corner. The other side of the corridor led to the conference venue, where more and more reporters gathered and noisy sounds were heard.
"Ms. Shuang Xu, go this way. The car is waiting outside in the alley. I'll take you out."
Shuang Xu stood there and said, "Uncle Xu, I want to take another route."
Old Xu was stunned. Before he could react, Shuang Xu had already turned around and walked towards the noisy meeting room.
He called her eagerly: "Miss Shuangxu!"
She didn't even turn her head.
The venue was packed with reporters and people who were trying to join in the fun. Uniformed police officers were trying to maintain order. Someone with sharp eyes spotted her and shouted, "She's out!"
In an instant, the security line was breached, and reporters swarmed in like sharks smelling blood and surrounded her.
The flash lights kept flashing and the shutter clicks kept coming. Shuang Xu's eyes were stung by the light and he closed them subconsciously.
"Are all the revelations on the Internet true? Ms. Song, please respond!"
"Is Shen Yu a copper-smelting addict? How old were you when this happened to him..."
"Does He Tingzhou know about the dirty relationship between you two?"
"I heard that they are good brothers. How do you evaluate the relationship between the three of you?"
…
Questions were asked one after another, and the chatter was deafening.
When Shen Yu saw her, his brows furrowed deeply.
Shu Yang was surprised and pushed through the crowd to run towards her: "Why did you come out?"
"Let's put an end to this." Shuang Xu said.
She could hide behind him and let him deal with the rumors, but what about next time? Would she be held hostage by this matter for the rest of her life?
Without further ado, Shu Yang understood what she meant, but he felt very complicated: "Have you thought it through?"
Shuang Xu picked up one of the microphones and turned to the stage: "Turn on the microphone for me."
The stage design was already closed, but when she stood on it, Shu Yang turned on a spotlight and shone it on her.
Everyone in the venue looked at her, and the originally noisy environment became a little quieter.
Shuang Xu looked at Shen Yu and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for always getting you into trouble. What I'm going to say next may disappoint you and bring more trouble to you and your godfather and godmother, but I want to say it and I must say it. I hope you will forgive me."
"First of all, my last name used to be Song, but it's no longer Song. My name is Shuang Xu now."
"I was abandoned by my biological parents when I was young and had no one to take care of me. It was my brother Shen Yu who kindly took me home and took care of me instead of my biological father. He and my godfather and godmother made up for everything I lacked. They gave me a lot of love and let me grow up in a happy and perfect environment. They treated me as a family member, and I did the same."
"My brother played a very important role in my life. Without him, I would not be where I am today. I developed an attachment to him when I was a teenager, but that's all. He is a kind person and our relationship is not dirty. Please don't slander us with those malicious speculations. I don't think I did anything wrong and I have never hurt anyone. I have a clear conscience."
"This is not the purpose of this press conference. My personal affairs have nothing to do with Feixue's products. I am standing here to answer questions not to satisfy your curiosity, but because I have people I care about."
"I have a boyfriend. I don't care about your malicious slander against me. No matter how many rumors you spread, he knows better than you that I am not what you say. But I care about his feelings. I care about someone saying, 'The woman he likes is actually this kind of stuff.'"
"I love him very much and I want him to know that I am worthy of his love. I hope I am his pride and not a stain," she said in front of a camera lit up by the camera.
After saying these words, it was as if a stone buried deep in my heart was dug out.
I used to be afraid that Shen Yu would find out and that others would criticize me, but now I don’t need to be afraid anymore.
Shen Yu said nothing, just looked at her in silence, with an expression she couldn't understand.
Shu Yang covered his face with his hands, and tears welled up in his eyes for no apparent reason.
She had accompanied Shuang Xu through those difficult years. In this world, she knew best the harm that incident had brought to Shuang Xu.
How could I not be moved when I saw her step out and face the shadow that once defeated her?
During the time she has been back in China, she has really grown a lot and become much stronger.
A series of thudding footsteps were heard, and Lu Manman ran from the stairs on one side to the stage. Shuang Xu unexpectedly didn't have time to speak, and Lu Manman had already taken the microphone from her hand.
She ran all the way here, sweating profusely, and even panting while speaking: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Lu Manman, Shen Yu's ex-fiancée, Cheng Xiye - the future girlfriend of the great man you mentioned. I don't have depression, let alone suicide attempts. I'm mentally healthy and Shuang Xu is my best friend. That's all I have to say, and you can judge the rest by yourselves. Oh, by the way -"
She took a deep breath and took out a necklace from her neck: "The necklace that Cheng Xi also bought is here with me."
"Aren't you going to fly to France with your mother?" Shuang Xu didn't expect her to come.
"My plane was about to take off when I received a call from my cousin and I immediately rushed back from the plane."
Did He Tingzhou already know?
Well, she had been stuck here by reporters for so long, and the internet was full of news, so it was normal for him to get wind of it in South City.
Her cell phone was turned off, so she didn't know if he had called her.
Shuang Xu whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Manman winked at her, "I'm just repaying your favor."
The rumor was refuted, but the reporters in the venue did not leave.
As Shu Yang said, what they want is not the truth, but explosive news.
When the two walked off the stage, countless reporters surrounded them, completely blocking their way out.
"Why didn't your boyfriend come to the press conference today?"
"Did he contact you after seeing the news? Did you return to the stage to clarify and express your loyalty to him because there was a problem in your relationship?"
"Some people say that you got the investment from Cloud Shield Group by sleeping with other women. Do you have anything to say?"
