Han Songyan quickly spoke up to explain for her.
"It's not Qianmo's fault, it's really not her fault. It's because I did too many things that disappointed her before, and I can't even forgive myself."
Kong Shen said angrily, "Even if you neglected her before, you are still her biological mother who carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. It's one thing that she doesn't know how to be grateful, but she doesn't appreciate your kindness at all. It's really too much."
"Director Kong, you don't know the truth of the matter, so it's irresponsible of you to say these things," Gu Hongxun said in a cold voice.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Gu Hongxun, somewhat surprised that he spoke up for her.
Her relationship with Gu Hongxun has improved a lot recently, but that guy has a sharp tongue.
He always said things that were deliberately meant to hurt her.
However, in her view, this was typical childish behavior of a little boy.
"Hongxun, you say we don't know the truth, but do you know the truth?"
Gu Hongxun sneered.
"There are actually many parents in this world who do not fulfill their due obligations, but they always feel that because they gave birth to her, they have the right to interfere in her life and the right to demand that she be filial to them. Don't you think this view is ridiculous?"
"Hongxun, what are you saying? What kind of life did Bai Qianmo lead before? What kind of life is she living now? If it weren't for her parents, would she have the life she has today?"
In Kong Shen's eyes, Bai Qianmo's ability to enter the entertainment industry and achieve her current success is all related to the fact that she is the daughter of the Bai family.
These words made Han Songyan feel utterly ashamed.
She interrupted Kong Shen, her face showing embarrassment.
When facing the camera, she kept avoiding the mistakes she had made in the past.
Hearing others' misunderstandings about Qianmo today, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Gu Hongxun did not continue arguing with Director Kong.
"Teacher Han, I'm sorry. Although I, as an outsider, shouldn't say anything, seeing these people slandering Bai Qianmo without knowing the truth, now that I know the truth, I must stand up and say a few words for her."
“I understand, you’re right. Everyone, please don’t misunderstand Qianmo. She really is a very good child.” Han Songyan said, her eyes reddening and her voice choked with emotion.
She originally wanted to help Qianmo, but she didn't expect that Qianmo's words would cause public outrage.
Han Songyan anxiously explained, "Director Kong, you don't know the whole story. If Qianmo hadn't returned to the Bai family, perhaps she would have been better off, and so many people wouldn't have wanted to slander and ridicule her. It's all my fault. I didn't want to acknowledge her back then because I thought that her growing up in the countryside would bring shame to the Bai family. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, which was to hide Qianmo's identity. I foolishly gave all my love to my adopted daughter, Bai Xiruo, which led to Bai Xiruo becoming arrogant and framing Qianmo multiple times."
"And I, her own mother, not only did not help my daughter, but also assisted Bai Xiruo in doing things to hurt her many times. I am a bad mother, and I am ashamed of my daughter. But she... but she not only did not hate me, but even saved me in time when Bai Xiruo framed me. When I was kidnapped by kidnappers some time ago, it was Qianmo who personally dealt with the kidnappers and saved me from their clutches. If it weren't for Qianmo, I'm afraid I would not be in this world now."
At this point, Han Songyan's face was filled with tears of regret, and she choked up several times.
“I was so foolish before, and I hurt this child deeply. Now I only want to spend the rest of my life protecting her. So no matter who it is, if they dare to hurt her again, I will fight them to the end, no matter what the cost.”
This was the first time Han Songyan had spoken to so many people about the guilt she had kept hidden in her heart.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"So please stop talking about Qianmo. She just keeps everything to herself. In fact, she has been secretly protecting her family all along."
"Is that so? Song Yan, we've been friends for over ten years, how come I've never heard you mention this before?" Kong Shen was a little embarrassed, feeling that he had done more harm than good.
I only knew that the mother and daughter had a strained relationship, but I never imagined there were so many twists and turns involved.
“I never dared to face my mistakes before, and I didn’t have the courage to speak out. Now that I see Qianmo being misunderstood by so many people, as her mother, I must stand up and protect my daughter’s reputation.”
After hearing Han Songyan's words, Bai Qianmo felt a deep shock in her heart.
At this moment, Han Songyan's expression was dignified and her gaze was firm, reminding her of how Han Songyan had revealed Bai Xiruo.
She had also thought about what would have happened if she and Bai Xiruo hadn't been switched at the hospital back then.
She is the daughter who has been pampered for twenty years, and her parents will give her all their love.
If she lived in the Bai family for twenty years, would she still be the same person she is now?
Kong Shen looked at Bai Qianmo apologetically: "Qianmo, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I sincerely apologize to you."
"I don't want to dwell on the past. Let's leave this topic at that. I don't want any news about this tomorrow. Producer Liu, Director Kong, I'll leave it to you."
"Qianmo, you don't need to worry about my reputation. Although I was very concerned about my image before, I'm not afraid of anything now, and I'm ready to face the public." Han Songyan sensed that Qianmo's decision not to allow the news to be reported was to protect her.
Bai Qianmo glanced coldly at Han Songyan: "I just don't want the movie to be affected."
Although her daughter denied it, Han Songyan still smiled.
"You've thought things through very well."
Director Kong said to Producer Liu, "Tell those reporters later not to report this to the public."
"Such explosive news, it's sure to trend on social media if it gets out..."
Kong Shen gave Producer Liu a cold warning look: "We've been working together for so many years, and I've almost never asked you for any help. If this gets reported tomorrow, our working relationship will be over."
"Look at you... alright, alright, I'll talk to them about it later."
Producer Liu felt helpless. Working with Kong Shen meant no worries about the film's popularity and attendance, but this guy sometimes got too fixated on the smallest details.
The incident involving Han Songyan and Bai Qianmo made the atmosphere at the wrap party a bit awkward.
Lang Xiao walked up to Bai Qianmo with a glass of wine in his hand.
"Qianmo, I want to apologize for the misunderstanding we had last time. I hope we can put our differences behind us in the future. As for me, I am a senior in the entertainment industry. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask."
Bai Qianmo was not optimistic about Lang Xiao's overtures tonight.
There's always this feeling that someone who's being overly solicitous is either up to no good or has ulterior motives.
However, if she doesn't say something in front of everyone, there will probably be another report about her being arrogant tomorrow.
