Chu Yuan didn't let Ning Mochen escort her too far; the two of them would be too conspicuous, and she couldn't use her invisibility item anymore.
But given her past record, Ning Mochen was worried about her.
Chu Yuan could only tiptoe and kiss his cheek. "Don't worry, I promise I won't run around until the online incident calms down. President Ning, Brother Ning, can you go to the press conference with peace of mind now?"
Ning Mochen lowered his head and bit her lip as punishment, "Next time, if you don't kiss the right spot, I won't let you pass!"
...
Ning Mochen finally arrived just in time before the press conference began.
Ning Hong sat on the left of the two middle seats, leaving the right side empty for Ning Mochen, which was a way of effectively acknowledging his position as the president of Ning Corporation.
He was dismissed from his post at the villa that day, but it was not announced to the public. Even now, within the Ning family, there are only rumors and hearsay, and no one knows the specifics.
Ning Mochen took a few steps forward and gestured for Chen Si to come over, but Ning Hong pulled him down to sit!
He tilted his head and lowered his voice, "The Ning family has wronged Xiao Yuan all these years, so of course the Ning family should stand up for her. Besides, when has Grandpa ever broken his promise to you?"
Ning Mochen's eyes darkened. He wasn't worried that Ning Hong would break his promise, but since he had already abandoned the Ning family's affairs, he didn't want to get involved anymore.
This time, I contacted Chen Si entirely for Chu Yuan's sake.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Ning Mochen sat down.
He calmly began, "Hello everyone, today's press conference will mainly address the issue of Chu Yuan, the second female lead in Ningyu's upcoming period drama 'Deep in the Palace,' being accused of illegal surrogacy."
The reason I am in charge is because of my special dual role in this event.
Firstly, I am the former president of Ningyu;
Secondly, the male partner for surrogacy in the agreement is me!
Please look at the big screen now; this is the full text of the high-definition 'surrogacy agreement'.
As he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar—
"What? The Ning family signed the surrogacy agreement with Chu Yuan?"
"When did President Ning switch jobs? He's just a former president?"
"No wonder he went to a hotel with Chu Yuan. Could it be that surrogacy is not the in-vitro fertilization we understand, but rather the actual use of the surrogate mother?"
Faced with these tricky questions, Ning Mochen answered them one by one without rushing.
He remained calm and composed throughout, and gradually, everyone's emotions calmed down.
There was even a feeling that Chu Yuan had been wronged!
Finally, the press conference concluded with a sincere self-narration by Ning Hong, Chairman of Ning's Group.
"I am Ning Hong. I am blessed by the heavens and have the opportunity to adopt Mo Chen and cultivate him to become the successor of the Ning family."
Of course, what I hope for most is that he and Ning's granddaughter, Mu Wan, can grow old together and support each other.
Four years ago, however, there was no romantic relationship between them. It was my mother and Mu Wan's mother who insisted on a marriage contract between them, which created a miserable couple with no happiness to speak of. It also indirectly caused our granddaughter Mu Wan to have an accident and disappear for more than four years.
Not long ago, Mu Wan finally came back to life and returned to the Ning family. Out of trust in Mo Chen's character and concern for Mu Wan's future, Mu Wan's mother insisted on continuing the marriage she had been in four years ago. To this end, she disregarded Mo Chen's wishes and forged a surrogacy agreement with his current wife, Chu Yuan, which caused an online public opinion crisis.
On behalf of the Ning family and all its members, I express my deepest apologies!
In fact, Mo Chen and Chu Yuan's two children got married last year, and there is no truth to the distorted accusations made by netizens, such as unspoken rules or using underhanded tactics to climb the social ladder.
Below is their marriage certificate, which you are free to verify in various ways.
Going forward, we will reflect on this and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again!
Behind a row of Ning Group executives, a large screen displayed Chu Yuan and Ning Mochen's marriage certificate. The press conference was broadcast live on several major websites, so almost all netizens across the country could see that the marriage certificate was registered at the end of last year, thus dispelling the rumors of surrogacy.
After all, which surrogacy agency would actually obtain a marriage certificate?
Furthermore, Ning Hong's reasons were quite convincing.
A mother is capable of anything to protect the child she favors; how difficult is it to forge a surrogacy agreement?
Presumably, Ms. Zhou, who is being accused, is also watching this press conference. Since she hasn't come forward to protest her innocence, it means she really did such a thing!
For a moment, the reporters looked dejected and listless.
I thought there was going to be a huge bombshell, but how come it was all just a misunderstanding cleared up so quickly?!
However, some astute individuals quickly found a point to delve deeper into, raising the microphone and pressing for an answer, "President Ning, so you mean you and the artist Chu Yuan have been a couple for a long time?"
When did you two meet? How did you get together?
"To be honest, although you have clearly stated that you have now stepped down as the president of Ning's Group, you were still the president when Chu Yuan auditioned, right? Did you deliberately ask Director Chen to go easy on her because she was your beloved wife?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You've hit the nail on the head, that's exactly what I wanted to ask!"
"I...I have another question I'm curious about, President Ning. If you weren't the president of Ning's Group, which company would you be working for now?"
