Chapter 111 Clarification
Ah Shuang was a little surprised; this was the most professional PR article ever.
"This matter wasn't originally that formal. If we speak in a very official way, it would be tantamount to admitting that this is dirt on Ah Chen!"
"But Ah Chen didn't do anything wrong, so he doesn't need to apologize or admit his mistakes!"
Fang Lanxin immediately threw the press release into the trash can.
She looked at Lu Chen gently: "Say whatever you want to say!"
"Sister Fang?"
Lu Chen looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief, his eyes red. He really didn't expect that even at this point, Fang Lanxin would still consider his feelings first.
"Just do as you please."
"Lu Chen, believe me, no matter what you say, the Fang Group will always be your support!"
Fang Lanxin walked over and gently touched Lu Chen's cheek.
"Now, change your clothes and come with me to the scene!"
Originally, Lu Chen was afraid, nervous, and ashamed.
He didn't want to bring this up in the first place, let alone now that it's in the newspapers and the whole city is buzzing about it!
But now, looking into Lan Xin's gentle eyes, Lu Chen suddenly felt a surge of power coursing through his body. He immediately turned and headed upstairs to change his clothes.
"President Fang, what should I say?" Lu Asheng looked at Fang Lanxin with some worry: "I have never seen such a scene before, I... I really don't know what to do!"
"If you have anything you want to say to your son, this is the best opportunity. Old Lu, even if you don't admit it, I know you still care about Lu Chen. Otherwise, you wouldn't watch his movies and TV series, and you wouldn't collect entertainment tabloids every day!"
Fang Lanxin is also a mother, so of course she knows that sometimes the way elders care for children is strange and awkward.
Especially given the relationship between the Lu family father and son, it's even more difficult to express the resentment.
Upon hearing this, Lu Asheng became somewhat embarrassed, his face flushed, and he said, "This... how can I say this?"
"He's your son, and you're his father; it's only natural."
"Ah Sheng, I believe you."
Fang Lanxin patted Lu Asheng on the shoulder, then turned and walked upstairs.
Soon, Fang Lanxin changed into a dark green cheongsam. She looked gentle and elegant, yet without any sharp edges or aggression. Instead, she exuded an indescribable affability.
The three of them rode in one car and arrived at the press conference venue.
Huo Qibang and others waited at the entrance of the venue. When they saw Fang Lanxin coming over, they immediately went up to her and said, "Mom, you can't go with him. People outside are already saying that the two of you have an improper relationship. If you defend him like this, who knows what they will speculate about!"
"Get out of the way." Fang Lanxin looked at Huo Qibang coldly, her face expressionless.
Let outsiders say whatever they want; having lived a second life, Fang Lanxin no longer cares about such nonsense!
Seeing Fang Lanxin like this, Huo Qibang became anxious: "Mom, do you think I'm doing this for myself? I'm doing it for you! Why don't you understand what I mean? I'm really doing this for your own good!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin found it laughable. In her previous life, she had almost always said these words, but unfortunately, they were of no use.
Now that Fang Lanxin has heard those words herself, she understands even more how awful they are!
She smiled and then said calmly, "I don't need it!"
"Mom?" Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief.
He used to say those four words often, but now...
For some reason, Fok Kai-pong always felt that ever since Tien Lok fell ill, there had been a distance between the two of them.
It seems that the close intimacy of the past is gone.
He originally thought that after he grew up, he should have a certain distance from his mother and his own private space, but he really did not expect that leaving his mother would be such a painful thing.
Fang Lanxin clearly had no time to care about his pain; she simply took Lu Chen's hand, walked past him, and entered the venue.
The moment Huo Qibang saw Fang Lanxin holding Lu Chen's hand without hesitation, he finally realized why this feeling was so damn familiar!
Fang Lanxin used to protect him in the same way!
No matter what others say, she will hold his hand tightly and never let go!
But why is this person now Lu Chen? What gives him the right?
Upon entering the venue, they were immediately bombarded with cameras and microphones from the media, the countless flashes almost blinding them.
Fang Lanxin could sense Lu Chen's nervousness, because his palms were sweating.
She didn't say much, just smiled gently and lightly scratched his palm, trying to calm him down.
It was just a small gesture, but it inexplicably made people feel at ease, and Lu Chen's tension was visibly relieved.
The two men pushed the long guns and short cannons with difficulty to their seats and sat down.
"Mr. Fang, are all the headlines on the front page today true? Is Lu Chen's father really an alcoholic and abusive man?"
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen, please tell me, please explain why you have never mentioned these things in front of the media before?"
The questions from everyone were increasingly tricky.
"I think our company's artists don't have the obligation to disclose their family situations to the public. Relatively speaking, you people who arbitrarily expose other people's privacy are the most despicable. Fang's Group reserves the right to protect the rights of our artists!"
"I will sue everyone who arbitrarily exposes other people's privacy, and I will also sue every media outlet that takes secret photos!"
“Lu Chen is a public figure, and I have no objection to you taking pictures of him. But Lu Asheng is not a public figure. What you are doing is infringing on his right to privacy and portrait rights. It is not only shameless, but also illegal!”
Fang Lanxin's words were filled with coldness and murderous intent.
In an instant, all the media outlets that had been bombarding us with questions calmed down, looking at each other in bewilderment, no longer daring to ask any more questions.
Lu Chen stood up and bowed to everyone.
"I'm sorry that I've taken up public resources for my personal reasons, but I don't think there's anything wrong with hiding my family situation. Everyone has things they care about and things they're taboo about. What I want to show everyone is how I am on the big screen, so please give me some space and freedom."
Lu Chen spoke sincerely, his eyes slightly red.
The press conference was broadcast live, so Lu Chen's fans quickly started calling in, cursing the unscrupulous media outlets.
