"Dear friends from the media, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come." Ye Chen began, his voice heavy with emotion, tinged with a deliberately hoarse tone. "I believe you have all seen the malicious slander and shameless defamation against me online. I, Ye Chen, am upright and honest. Those so-called revelations are pure fabrications, the malicious tricks of those with ulterior motives! Their sinister intention is to sabotage my marriage alliance with the Song family, thereby affecting a series of important subsequent business collaborations between Dragon King Palace and the Song Group!"
He spoke with righteous indignation, even pounding the podium in agitation, as if he had suffered a great injustice; his performance was incredibly convincing.
Immediately afterwards, Song Tianxiong, president of the Song Group, also stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone with a solemn expression, and said: "I, Song Tianxiong, hereby guarantee with the century-old reputation of the Song Group that my nephew Ye Chen is of upright character and outstanding ability, and is by no means the despicable person described in the online rumors! The marriage between our two families, as well as the subsequent business cooperation, will proceed as scheduled and will not be interfered with by any petty people!"
Song Tianxiong holds a prestigious position in the business world, and his guarantee carries significant weight, causing many initially skeptical reporters to begin to waver.
On the live stream chat, the sentiment began to subtly shift, with comments such as "It turns out it was a commercial setup," "Support Young Master Ye's rights protection," and "The feud between wealthy families runs deep" gradually increasing.
Ye Chen glanced at the audience's reaction, a smug smile subtly playing on his lips. "Qin Xiao, you're still too green to mess with me! Wait until this storm passes, then I'll see how I deal with you!"
Just as he cleared his throat, preparing to announce that he would take legal action against all those who spread rumors and bring them to justice, the side door of the press conference hall was suddenly slammed open from the outside!
A loud bang!
A slightly overweight figure stumbled in, pulled by several security guards who tried to stop him, while letting out a piercing scream:
"Ye Chen! You beast! Don't you even want your own flesh and blood?!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
In a split second, all the cameras and all the eyes turned and focused on the uninvited guest who had suddenly barged in.
She was a middle-aged woman with a haggard face and disheveled hair, but one could still vaguely tell that she must have been quite attractive in her youth. What was most striking was her prominently protruding belly and the stack of papers, clearly lab reports, that she was clutching tightly in her hand.
Ye Chen's smug smile froze instantly, the color draining from his face and replaced by a terrifying deathly pale. His pupils contracted sharply.
He recognized the woman! It was that damned landlady! How did she find her way here?! How...how could she be pregnant?!
"Who are you? Don't talk nonsense here! Security! Security! Drag her out!" Ye Chen shouted sharply, his voice even trembling slightly. He pointed at the woman, trying to get the security guards to take her away immediately.
The woman, however, went berserk, clinging desperately to the doorframe, screaming with all her might, her voice shrill and piercing: "I'm talking nonsense? Ye Chen! Do you dare to look at this DNA test report in front of all the media! See if the child in my belly is really yours!"
She held up the stack of papers high, and the words "Probability of parent-child relationship greater than 99.99%" on the top sheet were particularly clear and dazzling under the flash of countless cameras.
"You sent people to hunt me down! You wanted to kill me and my unborn child! Ye Chen, you heartless beast! Today I'm going to show everyone your true colors!"
