By now, Lu Luochen still took the side of that woman. The old master's angry gaze turned blank. This was the heir he had painstakingly taught since childhood.
Instead of focusing on the family's interests, he was simply a love - struck fool. Could such a person really take control of the Lu Group and develop the company?
In his confusion, the old master no longer cared about Yun Chutong. He spoke calmly.
"We won't discuss the Lu family's matters in public. But what exactly is the matter with the widely - spread contract - breach incident outside?"
As expected of the old master. The older, the wiser.
The contract - breach incident of the Lu Group couldn't be regarded as Lu Luochen's personal affair, but it was an unnecessary misunderstanding caused by personal feelings.
When it came to this, Lu Luochen's arrogance subsided a bit. He placed the woman on the soft chair prepared beside him, and then timidly explained to the old master.
"It's because Mo Xin was negligent in its duties and repeatedly violated the contract agreement with Amanda. She was injured and disfigured. So I terminated the contract with them. I will never allow a company that harms its artists to exist."
Hitting the point, the reporters below frantically took pictures, even enlarging and bolding these sensitive words. Some people had even started to edit and write copy.
Wen Sining wasn't going to buy this. Since the old master was here, it meant this was a fair and public event. She didn't have to compromise.
"What a huge accusation. Mr. Lu, I can't bear such a hat."
After saying that, Wen Sining took out the injury - inspection report from her document bag.
Even Yun Chutong didn't expect this woman in front of her to have prepared so well.
"Everyone, look clearly. The last facial disfigurement was caused by the ingredients of the cosmetics. But after testing, the ingredients of the cosmetics didn't meet the standard that would cause an allergic reaction in Miss Amanda."
Wen Sining launched a series of statements without giving the other side any time to catch their breath. Her eyes were overly rational. Lu Luochen suddenly didn't want to be stared at by such eyes.
He felt like a toy about to be discarded, making a futile struggle before being thrown away.
Wen Sining also didn't expect Lu Luochen to hold a press conference in the old mansion and put all their contradictions on the table.
She was no longer the fool who could be bullied by others. While fighting for her interests, she hoped the old master wouldn't be too angry.
"Mr. Lu, I hope Amanda can face the problem honestly and clear our name."
Wen Sining's gaze was sharp as she stared closely at Yun Chutong in the man's arms. Even wrapped in bandages, she was a delicate beauty.
Sister Fang had been abandoned. It was impossible for Yun Chutong to find another scapegoat. If there was no reasonable explanation, everything today would be counted on her.
The reporters below had started whispering. They had never really cared about the stars' surface glory. What they wanted was the latest and most gossipy news hidden in the dark.
If a person had two different personalities on the surface and in private, they would be even more excited.
Once one person spoke up, a second would follow.
"Miss Amanda, could you answer General Manager Wen's question?"
"Is what General Manager Wen said true? Your agent, Sister Fang, has been taken to the police station, and there's no one to testify for you. Do you have any other witnesses?"
Yun Chutong's body was trembling slightly. The injury from her fall wasn't serious. She just sprained her ankle and couldn't work for about half a year.
Lu Luochen was just so worried about her that he was willing to carry her here and expose her in public.
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes as she pleaded with these people not to slander her anymore. Yun Chutong timidly reached for the microphone. She looked so delicate that it seemed she might faint at any moment.
"Dear friends, things are not as you think. Sister Fang would never do such a thing to me. I can explain those things. My skin is really special. Maybe it's really not the company's problem."
Her answer was evasive. Wen Sining cast a cold look at the lovey - dovey couple. It seemed they were a perfect match.
"May I ask General Manager Wen, are you satisfied with Miss Amanda's answer?"
Someone asked sincerely. The smile on Wen Sining's lips looked rather interesting.
She asked playfully, "I remember Mr. Lu is already married."
The reporters might not know, but most of the people at the top of the industry had received the notice.
The old master didn't expect Wen Sining to ask this question on her own. This child must have been really hurt.
He wanted to step forward and explain, but before he could speak, he heard his precious grandson deny it.
Lu Luochen looked extremely embarrassed. He was holding his white moonlight in his arms. In another sense, she could be regarded as a mistress.
"Miss Wen, don't misunderstand. I can separate my work from my private life. I'm only here as the person in charge of the Lu Group to discuss the contract - termination incident with you. Chutong is here as a victim. We are here to condemn your actions!"
"Don't be so high - sounding, Lu Luochen. You and Amanda are a couple. You admitted it yourself. Does the Lu Group have any evidence of Mo Xin's negligence?"
Wen Sining retorted mercilessly. If you think I'm a weak kitten who can be bullied just because the tiger doesn't show its claws, you're wrong.
The woman in front of him looked extremely familiar. Lu Luochen's uneasiness grew stronger.
Even Uncle Bai stood beside the old master, gently shaking his head.
Sir, don't do anything you'll regret.
Yun Chutong felt the slight tremor in the man holding her. In that instant, a great sense of unease spread from her heart.
Lu Luochen's micro - expressions betrayed him. This battle today was not a sure - win one. They just came here to watch the show.
"Luochen, it's okay." Yun Chutong gently patted the man's chest, as if soothing him.
"I'm in this state because of my own reasons. Mo Xin has committed no fault. We can't treat them like this."
There was no more sound at the scene. Except for the sound of video recording and photographing, there was only people's breathing.
They never thought that Lu Luochen would listen to Yun Chutong so much. Judging from his tone, it seemed that the lovelorn couple were the victims today.
"The Lu Group should continue to cooperate with them. We can't let me cause you to fall out with the old master."
Lu Luochen's heart ached terribly. Yun Chutong had even wronged herself just to make things easier for him.
He glared angrily at the aggressive woman in front of him. Lu Luochen wished he could immediately kick Wen Sining out of this place.
He gritted his teeth and uttered each word, like a wildfire that was about to burn someone.
"Miss Wen, I hope your actions in the future will be as tough as they are today. Remember, there's no one completely innocent in this world."
