Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 443
Chapter 443: 442 Truth
Mo Zixuan added extra emphasis on the word “rumor”, a hint of seriousness and coldness decorating his vibrant features. As soon as he spoke, the reactions of the audience below the podium varied greatly.
The audience had already heard the word “rumor” several times. In the morning, whether they were stationed at Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory or Kangning Hospital, the reporters from MS Group received the same response.
That’s precisely why they were more curious about the truth.
Once he finished speaking, someone instantly raised their hand to speak: “Deputy General Mo, why are you claiming it to be a rumor? What evidence do you have to prove that Miss Wen is in good health?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another person asked: “It’s well known that General Mo and Miss Wen have been married for a few months, yet there’s been no good news from Miss Wen. Given their level of affection for each other, they should want children…”
“Exactly, if Miss Wen isn’t ill, why are her conditions described in such detail and emailed to various media outlets…”
On the stage, Gu Kai listened to the reporters’ questions with an expressionless face. His dark eyes reflected a thin layer of ice. The handsome man’s eyebrows curved sharply, and he lightly parted his lips. His voice was deep, piercing through the crowd with an all-encompassing aura, “Everyone, let me say one thing!”
Whether it was the compelling aura he exuded or the authority in his voice, the reporters fell silent.
Gu Kai’s icy gaze swept over the whole room as he spoke slowly and clearly, “About the email, I’ve seen it. But before I answer your questions, I would like to ask one more thing: after all the exaggerations and embellishments, can any of you distinguish between news and advertisements!”
His words pierced every reporter’s ears, causing numerous heads to lower as they avoided his gaze.
Indeed, they had forgotten about their responsibilities in the pursuit of sales, trying to write articles that would interest readers, regardless of how sharp and harsh they had to be.
They had forgotten about the elements a piece of news must possess, and the qualities a media worker should have.
“You all keep mentioning an anonymous email that was sent to various media outlets, asking you to expose the origins of Wen Ran, the wife of MS Group’s CEO, along with the fact that she can’t bear children. However, who among you dares to guarantee that the person who sent the email isn’t pulling a prank, or harboring malicious intentions, intending to use the media to destroy Wen Ran’s reputation.”
“Who among you thought to confirm the authenticity of the email first, instead of thinking about sales because Wen Ran is the CEO’s wife of MS Group!”
The room fell silent, save for Gu Kai’s voice.
None of the numerous people below the stage dared to raise their hand in response. They remembered that in the morning, Gu Kai, Mo Zixuan, and Wen Jin had all claimed to pursue legal responsibilities and sue the relevant newspapers.
Those words were not meant to scare them.
Upon returning to their newspaper offices, they held a meeting and found out that higher-ups were taking this incident very seriously. Not only because the MS Group is a leading enterprise and a major taxpayer in G City, or because this matter involves Kangning Hospital and Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, but because such a careless handling could lead to unbearable consequences.
Moreover, the city government had received a call demanding they suppress this scandalous incident…
The former was done by Luo Haofeng and Gu Kai, and Wen Jin, while the latter was requested by Qin Mu from his grandfather to exert pressure. In the afternoon, before they arrived at the MS Group, their leaders repeatedly instructed them to “know their boundaries.”
Seeing the silence from the audience, the chill in Gu Kai’s eyes lessened slightly. He turned to Wen Jin, who got the cue and continued, “The email you received is not entirely false. There is one truth in it.”
Every pair of eyes instantly focused on him.
Wen Jin, with his handsome features and a calm demeanor, said, “Ranran is indeed not my biological sister. She was a little girl with no known background whom my father saved accidentally over a decade ago. Over the years, my parents have treated her like their own, and I have always regarded her as my own sister.”
“Because of Mo Xiuchen’s arrival, many things happened and Ranran’s identity was unraveled. She is not only Director Gu’s daughter, Gu Kai’s sister, but she is also Mo Xiuchen’s lifesaver whom he had been searching for many years.”
“A lifesaver?”
Instantly, the audience below whispered among themselves. The eyes that were initially on Wen Jin were now filled with surprise, shock, and intense curiosity.
The incident of Mo Xiuchen being kidnapped as a child had already happened nineteen years ago. How many of the reporters present were even adults eighteen years ago? Almost none of them knew about that incident.
Kangning Hospital
Gu Yan sat on the leather sofa, his sharp gaze intently focused on the live broadcast on the LCD screen in the dean’s office.
On the stage, Wen Jin’s words triggered the deepest memories in his heart. His wife’s desperation after their few months old daughter was taken away and Ah Kai’s crying for his sister circulated in front of him.
His heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a hand, unveiling the old scar, revealing a bloody wound…
On the LCD screen, Wen Jin used a calm and low voice to narrate Wen Ran’s growth in his house over the years, and the efforts of Mo Xiuchen and the Gu Family to find the savior and their lost daughter.
After he finished his narration, Luo Haofeng took over, “To this day, I still remember, when Xiuchen escaped from death nineteen years ago, it was Uncle Gu who, after tirelessly working for three days and nights with a team of doctors, performed countless surgeries to save his life. Upon waking up, his first words were about searching for that little girl.”
Luo Haofeng usually appeared carefree, but when it comes to stirring emotions, he is the most eloquent among them. He purposely lowered his voice, filled with sentimentality and long-ago memories. As he spoke, it felt as though the audience could envision the scene.
“At the time, Xiuchen was just a child who had lost his mother and was abandoned by his father and new family. After suffering such harm, the only thing that kept him alive was the little girl who saved him and then disappeared…”
“How many of you present can understand what he went through these years, enduring ridicule and disdain from all sides? Not to mention taking medication all year long and constantly facing sabotage, how did he make himself stronger and eventually able to protect himself? If it weren’t for meeting Wen Ran, to you all, Xiuchen would still be impotent!”
“Perhaps you might think what I’m saying is nonsense. I only want to tell you, if it weren’t for your incessant pressure and sharp criticism, all for the sake of your articles and sales, Xiuchen would now be a healthy man.”
