At this time, the capital city
Bai Xiruo's press conference at Jiashang Media is underway.
Dozens of media outlets rushed over.
Bai Xiruo appeared together with Han Songyan, Zhou Mei, and Zhou Hongwei.
Today, Bai Xiruo wore a white dress, and her makeup was deliberately made to look sickly. Her lips were slightly pale, making her face look even more bloodless. In addition, there was a layer of white gauze wrapped around her forehead. After seeing her appearance, no one had the heart to say a harsh word to her.
After Bai Xiruo sat down, she faced the reporters with a very sincere and earnest expression.
"I apologize for taking up everyone's time, and I am very grateful to so many journalists for attending this press conference today. During this period, under the supervision of netizens, I have been constantly reflecting on my mistakes and have realized that I have done a lot of wrong things."
I shouldn't have played that prank on Qianmo with my cousin. After learning that Qianmo was the Bai family's daughter, I felt immense pressure and fear. I was afraid of losing my parents' love and being looked down upon by my family. But no matter what, I shouldn't have hurt Qianmo.
Nie Siqi and Han Yaxin walked over side by side in the crowd.
Nie Siqi walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and said to all the reporters: "I am standing here today with a heart full of repentance and self-blame to face all the netizens, friends, and fans who like me behind the camera. I set a bad example and did something foolish, so much so that I am still living in deep self-blame."
So when I learned that Xi Ruo was holding a press conference, I chose to bravely stand up and admit that the kidnapping was orchestrated by Xi Ruo and me. We are ashamed of our ignorance and deeply remorseful for hurting Qian Mo. From this day forward, I, Nie Siqi, will definitely correct my mistakes, be a good person, and earnestly strive to be a qualified actress. I sincerely apologize to the public and to Qian Mo.”
Han Yaxin picked up the microphone and spoke: "As Nie Siqi's mother, I apologize to the public. It is my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly, which has caused such a big mess. I am ashamed and promise to discipline my daughter well in the future. Originally, this was just a family matter, but it has caused such a big commotion and trouble and negative impact on the public. I express my deep remorse here."
Dozens of cameras in the audience started filming the three people.
The three apologies all seemed to be full of remorse and regret, but upon closer listening to their statements, they all seemed to be downplaying the seriousness of the matter.
They never confronted their mistakes directly, instead conveying an implication that they had their reasons or that their actions were unintentional.
Reporters in the crowd began to ask questions.
"Xi Ruo, your classmates have always had a very positive impression of you, saying you are helpful and academically excellent. Why are you targeting Bai Qianmo? Did she cross your line in some way?"
Bai Xiruo bit her lip lightly, her eyes reddening, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Finally, she lowered her eyes and said softly, "Because my parents dote on me, it may be hard for Qianmo to accept for a while. It is understandable that she has a problem with me. It is my fault. I caused this situation because I was jealous of Qianmo."
The female reporter continued, "So, you didn't initially intend to go this far, and it was Bai Qianmo who kept causing you trouble, which is why you made this mistake?"
Han Yaxin, standing to the side, spoke up: "As Qianmo and Xiruo's aunt, let me be fair. Ever since Qianmo returned to the Bai family, my sister, brother-in-law, and Xiruo have taken care of her in every way. Before she came back, my sister, Ms. Han Songyan, prepared her room in advance and bought a lot of girls' clothes and shoes. Even the room's decorations and furniture were carefully selected according to girls' preferences. But Qianmo is really too difficult to get along with. She's like a hedgehog covered in thorns, pricking anyone she sees. The family has repeatedly tolerated and yielded, but all they've received in return is greater disdain and indifference."
At this point, Han Yaxin sighed helplessly.
"If that were all, it would be fine. A while ago, Qianmo had a big fight with my sister and brother-in-law. Xiruo kindly stepped in to stop them, but Qianmo slapped her hard. Xiruo was weak and fell to the ground on the spot. She was then sent to the hospital overnight. Everything I said is true. I have a copy of Xiruo's medical record from her hospitalization a while ago, which can prove that what I said is true!"
After saying that, Han Yaxin showed Bai Xiruo's medical record from when she fainted and was hospitalized some time ago.
The dozens of reporters in the audience began to discuss it.
"I knew Bai Xiruo didn't seem like a bad girl, but I didn't know there were so many entanglements involved."
"My God, Bai Qianmo beat someone up so badly they ended up in the hospital? That's so cruel!"
"Bai Qianmo doesn't look like a kind person. How could she be bullied by Bai Xiruo? She must have been causing trouble at home, which displeased her parents. After they said a few words to her, she transferred all her resentment onto Bai Xiruo. She doesn't even know how much Bai Xiruo has suffered in the Bai family during this time."
One male reporter asked indignantly, "Xi Ruo, when you banged your head against the wall at Old Master Bai's birthday banquet that day, was it to prove your innocence?"
Bai Xiruo opened her big, watery eyes, bit her lip, and gently shook her head: "No, I... I felt ashamed and couldn't face my parents' love for me. I didn't want to make things difficult for them because of me, so... This really has nothing to do with Qianmo."
Bai Xiruo's words seemed to be the truth, but when combined with her expression and the last sentence she forced, they took on a completely different meaning in the ears of all the reporters.
