Chapter 8
There were many media reporters at the scene, some broadcasting live and others taking photos. Although Ye family security personnel were there to maintain order, it was still quite noisy.
However, in this very environment, everyone heard a pleasant female voice.
The voice was like a sugar thread that was about to melt, with an alluring sweetness that would make anyone's heart itch.
"I never expected my nephew to care about me so much. I am truly flattered."
As everyone turned to look at her, Qin Su walked straight ahead, and the crowd spontaneously parted to make way for her.
From Ye Yan's perspective, she was like a sea siren who slowly emerged after cleaving through the waves in legend.
Because only legendary creatures possess such breathtaking beauty.
The once chaotic venue fell silent in an instant, and even the live stream comments from several media outlets paused for a moment.
There were several steps in front of the Ye family's old house. Ye Yan stood at the top, while Qin Su stopped two steps away from him and raised her delicate chin at him.
Ye Yan paused for a moment, then reached out his hand to her. Qin Su smiled and took his hand, then stepped up the stairs.
After she stopped and turned around, she didn't let go of Ye Yan. Instead, she naturally put Ye Yan's arm around her waist.
Ye Yan felt that the waist in his arms was extremely flexible and slender, as if he could hold it in one hand.
He was startled and immediately looked down at Qin Su.
Qin Su looked up and met his gaze, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation, as if to say, "So what? In front of the media, go ahead and push me away if you dare."
Ye Yan couldn't possibly push her away, so he could only keep half of his body stiff in that position.
They each had their own ulterior motives, but to outsiders, they were an incredibly handsome couple.
Ye Yan was wearing a black casual suit. He was tall and had long legs. He was handsome and sharp, with an air of nobility and aloofness. He originally looked very unapproachable, but after hugging Qin Su, he became strangely much softer.
Qin Su, dressed in a red dress and with fair skin, leaned against his arm, her striking beauty seemingly toned down.
The two people's looks were so stunning that the media reporters were momentarily disoriented, feeling more like they were on a film set than interviewing business people.
Seeing that everyone was staring blankly and not saying anything, Qin Su glanced at Ye Yuanqing casually and said, "I don't know if couples look good, but I know that I look good standing here."
Ye Yuanqing: "..."
When she said those words, everyone was speechless.
"What's going on?" She tossed her hair and looked around. "When I came in, I heard you all talking about me. Weren't you all very interested in my affairs? Now I'm standing right here, why is nobody talking?"
Qin Su has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, shaped like a phoenix but not long and narrow. They are curved inward and upturned outward, with a full eye shape and upturned corners. Her eyelashes are so thick that they have the effect of natural eyeliner.
Whoever she glances at feels hooked, and no one has time to think about anything else.
Qin Su said with some disappointment, "Nobody asked? Then I..."
Before she could finish speaking, a new reporter suddenly raised his hand.
Qin Su laughed at his words: "Do you think this is a press conference? Why are you raising your hand? Just ask if you have a question."
Her smile only made the reporter dizzy. After stammering for a while, he finally asked, "Ms. Qin, there are rumors that you and Mr. Ye are not getting along. What is your opinion on this?"
Qin Su was silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Don't you guys read the trending topics?"
Trending topic?
Those present were somewhat surprised.
Because everyone was busy with interviews and filming, no one had time to check their phones. But when Qin Su said that, they all took out their phones to look, and saw three related posts prominently displayed on the trending topics list.
The video in the thirties was titled "Live Interview with the Ye Family Banquet." Clicking on it revealed that Ye Yan and Qin Su's striking good looks had attracted a large audience.
The seventh item is "Those stunning photos of passersby," which originated from a popular influencer called "Big Beauty Bot" who posted a set of photos of beautiful women that he had taken by chance, which sparked a craze for admiring and sharing photos.
The second most popular topic was "How good-looking are the wealthy couples?" Ye Yan and Qin Su were the most discussed.
It turns out that after the beautiful woman bot posted the photos, they became so popular that some people noticed that the main character in the photos was actually the wife of the president of the Ye Group.
Then another passerby posted photos, saying they ran into the couple at the airport and took pictures because they thought they were so good-looking, but they didn't expect them to be a wealthy couple.
The passerby took the photo at an extremely clever angle. At the time, Qin Su was talking close to Ye Yan, and the photo looked as if she was hugging Ye Yan, full of romantic pink bubbles.
The onlookers instantly got excited, and many accounts with a large following joined in, quickly sparking a discussion about the good looks of the wealthy couple.
Once the hype truly builds, the ordinary people who posted the photos early on, along with the accounts that fueled the trend, quietly disappear.
Therefore, when people click in, they feel that the topic is full of enthusiastic and genuine users speaking, and there is no sense of incongruity at all.
Ye Yuanqing's expression grew increasingly grim, and he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath: "How is this possible?"
"Why not?" Qin Su raised her eyes with a half-smile and glanced at him. "It's quite a coincidence. Originally, this matter wasn't that popular, but somehow, a huge wave of online trolls started spreading rumors that my marriage was not going well. As soon as they spread the rumors, netizens refuted them. With controversy and reversals, the popularity naturally went up."
As if afraid of infuriating someone, she sincerely added, "I am so grateful to those kind-hearted strangers."
Ye Yuanqing, the kindest person: "..."
He clutched his heart, desperately trying to suppress the urge to vomit blood.
First wave, KO.
Qin Su raised an eyebrow and turned her gaze back to the reporter who had just asked her a question.
She leaned on Ye Yan's shoulder, the dark fabric and her snow-white skin creating a striking beauty.
Qin Su countered with this intimate gesture, asking him, "What do you think now?"
The reporter looked up from his phone screen, glanced at Ye Yan with a mixture of envy and bitterness, opened his mouth, and said dryly, "...I understand."
Ye Yan: ...
What does this guy know?
Second wave, KO.
Qin Su smiled with satisfaction and turned to ask the remaining people, "Any other questions?"
After a moment of silence, someone stepped forward.
"Is Mrs. Ye so arrogant because she's certain that Mr. Ye is the next successor?"
An older man stepped forward and spoke sharply.
"I heard that things weren't peaceful in the Ye family while Mr. Ye was hospitalized. It's hard to say who will be the ultimate winner in the end."
This person seemed to dislike Ye Yan and his wife quite a bit, adopting a confrontational stance and using particularly harsh language.
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, not daring to even breathe loudly.
A flash of displeasure crossed Ye Yan's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Su scoffed.
"Why speculate about the future? Humans might even migrate to outer space in the future." She said meaningfully, with a hint of sarcasm. "No one can predict what will happen in the future. It's not wise to be narrow-minded."
"People should focus on the present and do the things at hand well."
As Qin Su finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Yuanqing and said with a smile, "At least for now, the fact that you chose to surround us instead of my nephew speaks volumes, doesn't it?"
Her words were an indiscriminate attack, and everyone was stunned. Ye Yuanqing's face darkened.
However, Qin Su had already tilted her head slightly and said innocently, "Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking things had looked a little better.
She frowned again and said, "However..."
"There's a truth hidden in the joke; the meaning is correct."
She seemed oblivious to the stunned expressions on everyone's faces and said to the man without any politeness, "We're short on time, so please ask more meaningful questions and don't bring up these kinds of questions next time."
The man's face flushed red and then turned pale. He tried to speak, but Qin Su waved him off, saying, "Next."
The third wave, KO.
No one realized that what was supposed to be a well-prepared interview and report by reporters and media had turned into Qin Su's show.
She completely controlled the pace and atmosphere of the event, and everyone was either actively or passively following her lead.
The media, who used to make things difficult for others, are now tense under her gaze, reliving the feeling of waiting for the teacher to call their name when they were in school.
Qin Su glanced around and her gaze settled on a young woman.
The girl shrank back like an animal encountering its predator the moment she met her eyes, looking timid and saying, "Don't point at me."
Qin Su found it amusing, her eyes crinkling slightly, before she gave a perfectly reasonable explanation: "We should give newcomers more opportunities, so you're the one."
"Ask away."
The girl who was called on stared blankly: "...Me?"
She was stunned for a good ten seconds before she reacted: "I...I want to ask..."
The question she wanted to ask was on the tip of her tongue, but just as she was about to utter it, she saw Qin Su's smiling glance.
Her stunning beauty and captivating presence overshadowed even the sunlight, forcing it to dim and retreat.
This is a beauty unlike anything found in the human world...
The words she was about to say suddenly changed, and she blurted out, "Does Mr. Ye know how beautiful you are?"
Qin Su: "..."
She was somewhat surprised, not expecting anyone to ask such a question.
"You shouldn't be asking me this question." Qin Su paused slightly and turned to look at Ye Yan.
Her eyes seemed to hook around Ye Yan's eyebrows, and her words were enunciated clearly and slowly: "President Ye, do you know how beautiful I am?"
Caught up in the atmosphere, everyone couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" and turned to look at Ye Yan's expression.
As everyone knows, Ye Yan has a bad temper and never gives people face, even in public.
So now, in front of so many people, how will he answer such a personal question?
In an instant, all eyes were on Ye Yan.
By this time, the sun had already moved westward, and the orange-yellow afterglow of the setting sun shone on Ye Yan. The layers of light and shadow further accentuated the good lines of his broad shoulders and long legs, and even made his facial features appear more defined.
He looked at Qin Su, his eyes surging with emotion for a second before he suppressed it all.
Qin Su keenly sensed the oppressive feeling, but when she focused her attention and looked closely, she only saw her own reflection in Ye Yan's pupils.
After a long pause, he said, "I know."
