Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Right then, Su Yuanming suddenly spoke up, having been silent all this while. “Everyone quiet down. If you have questions, can you ask them separately? With the way you all are right now, it is difficult for us to hear what exactly you’re trying to ask.”

Su Ziyue whipped her head around to look at him. Su Yuanming shot a smile at her. To others, it looked like a senior placating a junior with a smile. To Su Ziyue, however, it completely wasn’t that at all, because while Su Yuanming’s words silenced the reporters for a short while, they began to fire questions her way, and they were questioning her as intensely as they were before.

Su Ziyue had already calmed down by now. Her expression was a little frosty. “We are here today to discuss the matter of Miss Gu Hanyan’s injury. If you have any other questions, we can answer them later.”

She would have to settle each matter one by one. Right now, the most important thing was to clarify Gu Hanyan’s injury clearly.

She would also have to face the event that happened four years ago sooner or later, and she would need to find a way to resolve it. She hadn’t thought of evading it, nor had she thought of giving in just like that.

She had just finished speaking when a reporter impatiently asked her, “Miss Su, did you say that because we’ve touched a nerve? Are you afraid that your past will be dug up for everyone to know?”

“You even went abroad and hid for four years because of this matter…”

“Miss Su, have you contacted the father of that child since your return?”

“Will old passions ignite again?”

Questions were coming in one after another. Su Ziyue was not given the chance to answer at all. Her hand unconsciously squeezed the bottle of water she was holding tightly. She pressed her lips together as she stared at these reporters' faces. However, her heart was growing calmer by the second.

Some of these reporters were tabloid reporters, while some of them were from business papers. Regardless of the kind of reporter they were, reporters were all a nosy bunch. They were all extraordinarily fascinated with information that hasn’t been dug up yet, and they all wanted to be the first one to break the news.

One of the people here was the second oldest young mistress of the Su family, one of Yunzhou City’s three major families, and the other was an international movie star who had just returned from abroad. Even if the reporters didn’t deliberately fan the flames, these two were already very much a hot topic, and as one would know, news that were of gossip in nature were the favorites of the public.

“Today, the Su Family invited everyone here primarily to explain the matter of Miss Gu’s injury. I hope that everyone will cooperate… We will now return to the main topic at hand.” Su Yuanming spoke up in a timely manner, attracting everyone’s attention again.

“Please excuse me, Mr. Su. As Miss Su’s relative, what are your thoughts about Miss Su’s actions from years ago?” One of the reporters directly pointed a microphone at Su Yuanming.

Su Yuanming turned his head to glance at Su Ziyue. He then frowned, clearly displeased. “Miss, it is not that I absolutely have to answer your question, but my point is, no matter what Ziyue did, it is all in the past. Who hasn’t made a mistake before?”

His words indirectly answered their question—Su Ziyue had indeed gone through an abortion in the past.

The moment those words left him, the reporters were whipped into a frenzy.

“They are both from the Su Family, but why is it that Miss Su Yige is all the different?”

“Is it because Miss Su Ziyue has a father who’s a convict?”

Su Ziyue, who couldn’t find an opportunity to cut in all this while, whipped her head up to look at that reporter upon hearing those words. That reporter looked aggressive, and when he saw Su Ziyue raise her head to look at him, he hastily whirled his microphone over to her. “Miss Su, did you do that because of your father’s influence…”

Thump!

The questioning reporter gave a sharp squeal, nearly losing his grip on his microphone.

The bottle of water that Su Ziyue had just hurled at him was already on the floor. Her throw was powerful, and it landed squarely on that reporter’s forehead. The edges of the bottle were rounded, so the reporter didn’t suffer any scratches, but he did feel a good bit of pain.

Upon seeing this, expressions of shock made their way onto everyone’s faces.

When reporters carried out interviews, they would normally ask questions which were on the more pointed side precisely because they know that these famous people and celebrities would not throw a fit in public. That was why the reporters had the guts to do so. None of them expected Su Ziyue to hit someone with a bottle right there and then. While she hadn’t injured that reporter, that action still wasn’t a good one.

Su Ziyue’s expression was frosty as she narrowed her eyes at that reporter. “Continue.”

“You…” That reporter looked visibly flustered.

He had quite a name within the industry, and he got that bit of fame because he was more daring with his questions. However, he never thought that Su Ziyue would ignore appearance and fling a bottle at him right on the spot. That was something he hadn’t accounted for.

He gave a cold chuckle. He hadn’t experienced such an incident despite being in this industry for a while now. In addition to that, the person who flung the bottle at him was a woman, a woman with a bad reputation. At any rate, someone had already asked a favor of him. He should ask all the loaded questions he could.

“Miss Su, are you flustered because I was right?” A cold light gleam shone in the reporter’s eyes.

The other reporters suddenly quietened down after witnessing this incident, silently waiting for this reporter to question her.

“Of course I am.” Su Ziyue was taller than the reporter. When she looked at him, her gaze was angled downward, like she was looking at him disdainfully. “My father is a kind and honest man. Someone like you is unworthy of bringing him up.” Su Ziyue fixed a cold stare at the reporter, the expression on her face growing even more chilly.

It was like the reporter had just heard an especially hilarious joke, for he laughed out loud. “All of Yunzhou City knows why the eldest son of the Su Family’s patriarch is in prison, and yet you still call your father a kind and honest man?”

Su Ziyue clenched her fists tightly, her pretty eyes narrowing slightly. It seemed as though they were emitting frostiness. “Why wouldn’t I?”

The reporter forgot how to speak, perhaps because her expression was too even as she gazed at him.

Su Yuanming frowned as he glanced at Su Ziyue, a cold gleam flashing across his eyes. His niece was very much like his older brother, so similar that he felt fearful. He was more than familiar with that past incident, but as he watched Su Ziyue’s calm expression, he began to wonder.

Still, the press conference had to follow the pre-arranged schedule.

Everything else proceeded smoothly after that, perhaps because Su Ziyue’s bottle-chucking incident was already enough material for the reporters, or for some other reason.

With such a commotion that had unexpectedly occured, the press conference seemed to have already lost its original intended purpose.

Once the press conference was over, An Xia slunk over out of nowhere. “Ziyue, let’s sneak out through the backdoor. I just took a look and the main entrance is teeming with reporters. You’ll be swarmed if you go out there, never mind leaving the place.”

At that, Su Ziyue furrowed her brows. It seemed that this incident would not end so easily.

Su Yuanming approached her. “Ziyue, don’t take today’s events to heart. The past cannot affect your future. We have to look forward.”

Upon hearing that, Su Ziyue coldly chuckled. “The past has already badly affected my current life. I cannot look toward the future. So, what I want to do now is get to the bottom of that past incident.”
