Chapter 35 - Press Conference (1/2)
That night, while Yu Huiyin was blissfully asleep and Xie Jingyu once more was feeling a strange sweet torment from holding her in his arms, Assistant Song did his job to the best of his ability.
Xie Jingyu had ties to the underground, and he had various hackers, gossipmongers, news outlets, and more at his disposal.
These people started spreading a rumor that Yu Jingshen was spoiling his adopted daughter because he had taken an interest in her, and that he was using the casting couch to give her such a significant role.
A water army was hired to smear their name, and they worked throughout the night, so when Yu Jingshen's family woke up the following morning, the news was already everywhere. It was impossible to kill the rumors, and even if they did, it would be useless.
Yu Jingshen had been in the entertainment business for a long time; he was well aware that this was water army from looking at the messages that were being sent in the various threats and posts online. Still, he could do nothing as the netizens were all led astray.
Yu Bingqing was also full of indignation. This was her birth father, who would possibly seduce their own father? That was disgusting and disturbing, but because of her label as an adopted child, she could not yell out her grievances.
This was Xie Jingyu's aim. He wanted to pressure Yu Jingshen into taking the initiative to admit that Yu Bingqing was his biological daughter. Although it would not destroy his reputation, it would put a dent into it, as it would show that he was unfaithful to his previous wife when they were together.
Unfortunately, Yu Jingshen was a ruthless figure. He was not below abusing his ex-wife, even though she was dead already, so that day, he held a press conference to clarify the rumors.
Yu Huiyin had no clue that it was Xie Jingyu who was behind the pressure that had been emitted on Yu Jingshen, but she was well aware that someone was behind this action. However, she was immensely grateful towards whomever it was, and that afternoon, she was waiting in front of the TV where she was going to observe the press conference.
Just before the conference was starting, Yu Huiyin saw her phone ringing. The tag of 'Dearest Hubby' was displayed on the phone screen. Smiling slightly, she picked up the call.
”Hello, aren't you busy with work?” Yu Huiyin could not help but ask. Xie Jingyu seemed to be a very successful businessman, how could he possibly have time to call her in the middle of the day?
”I have some spare time now,” he answered with his gentle and magnetic voice, which tickled her ear as it arrived through the speaker of the phone.
