Just as everyone was waiting for Tang Jingci’s answer, she threw out a shocking remark. “Since you know that it’s my private life, what does it have to do with you?!”

Ding Jingyi obviously didn’t expect her to be so domineering and fierce, and she was stunned for a moment.

“This female reporter, I want to trouble you to step forward.” Tang Jingci had been waiting for her.

Everyone’s eyes were on Ding Jingyi. What ability did an entertainment reporter from a small website have to make Tang Jingci look at her in a different light and even invite her to the front?

But Ding Jingyi knew very well that Tang Jingci had probably set a trap and had been waiting for her to raise her hand and ask questions.

She didn’t want to go up at all, but the security guards of the Duan Group had already walked over and ‘invited’ her to the front. “Miss Tang, what are you doing?”

“I just want to ask why you care about my private life.

“First, I haven’t said anything in public about having a boyfriend. Second, I’m not married and have a family. Does it matter who I date or who I have a relationship with?”

Qiao Xiyan was backstage. When he heard her say that she didn’t have a boyfriend, he frowned slightly and felt uncomfortable.

“Or rather, Miss Reporter, are you very interested in my private life?”

“I didn’t mean that.” Ding Jingyi was speechless.

She had never seen such a fierce answer and such a bold and direct way of doing things. She directly said that it had nothing to do with her. Could she be any more domineering?

Tang Jingci wasn’t a celebrity and didn’t need to maintain an image. Even if she had a dozen boyfriends, others would gossip about it at most. She wasn’t someone who relied on netizens to make a living.

This was why she dared to be so domineering and direct.

Tang Jingci motioned to Manager Ge beside her. The scene taken at the entrance of the pharmacy and inside immediately appeared on the screen.

A few photos were placed on the same screen, but they were all of the same person.

“In that case, I want to ask you. Since you don’t have such intentions, why did you follow me and even chase me to the pharmacy?”

Many reporters raised their cameras and started taking photos, and there was a lot of discussion.

“So, she’s Ding Jingyi?”

“She’s the one in the limelight recently and making waves in the circle.”

“Bah. There were two popular reports. Our editor-in-chief even mentioned her in the last meeting.”

…

Almost everyone in the journalism circle knew her.

Ordinary netizens might not pay much attention to the author of articles, but the reporters would definitely discuss it. So with Tang Jingci’s slight reminder, they immediately knew who Ding Jingyi was.

Ding Jingyi didn’t expect Tang Jingci to trace the source and discover her.

“Miss Ding, how long have you been following me? You said you weren’t interested in my private life, yet you did such a thing.

“As far as I know, the pharmacy staff didn’t agree to you taking photos or revealed anything about me to you. You only took photos of some of the medicine on her counter.

“Do you have any questions about what I said?”

Ding Jingyi gritted her teeth. “It’s like that.”

Tang Jingci suddenly jumped up from her seat and slammed her pen on the table. The sound was clear and loud, carrying inexplicable intimidation.

“Then I want to ask, how are you so sure that the boxes of medicine were recommended to me by the pharmacy clerk?

“Couldn’t it have been that someone else bought it, and she hadn’t had time to sort it out yet?”

“If there was a bottle of cancer medicine on the counter, would you have spread rumors that I had a terminal illness?!”

Ding Jingyi held the microphone in her hand, her back feeling cold.

She kept thinking that if Tang Jingci scolded her for following her, she would get to the bottom of her messy private life. Since she had embarrassed her, everyone would have a hard time.

She wasn’t a good person anyway.

But she didn’t expect Tang Jingci to attack from such a tricky angle.

The sharp-tongued person was stunned for a few seconds.

“Miss Ding, I’m asking you. What right do you have to conclude that I bought this medicine?!” Tang Jingci slapped the table and questioned sternly.

At the side, Manager Ge was so frightened that her body shuddered.

When they interacted in private, Tang Jingci was clearly amiable. Why was she so scary when she lost her temper?

“I just want to ask what your basis is. Just because I’m close to Jiang Ershao, do you think sitting in the same car and talking to him can make me pregnant?

“Your logic is too absurd.

“Not only you, but your report is also full of loopholes. It’s nonsense!”

Tang Jingci’s private life was the focus of everyone’s attention. At this moment, she directly pointed out the most critical part of the report, but Ding Jingyi couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

In that case, this report was completely untenable.

The rumors collapsed on their own.

Everyone looked at the woman with a cold expression on the stage.

Her angle was terrific.

***

Currently, backstage…

Qiao Aiyun was originally worried for her. But she didn’t expect her to start from this angle and make a beautiful counterattack.

At this moment, all kinds of rumors were flying around outside. They were all saying that her private life overseas was chaotic and that she had even brought her bad habits to China. Under all kinds of discussions, she was still so calm.

She was turning the tide.

Well done.

“Little Ci is really a good child.” Qiao Aiyun looked at Yan Wangchuan.

“Yeah.” Yan Wangchuan nodded.

When Qiao Xiyan heard his aunt praise his girlfriend, the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up. But he didn’t expect Qiao Aiyun to say, “Do you think Little Ci would like Shaochen?”

Song Fengwan immediately felt a certain someone beside her emitting a cold aura.

Qiao Aiyun couldn’t be blamed for not considering him. He had lost her time and time again, and he could even lose her when he went to the airport to pick her up. Tang Wangjin hated him to death. Moreover, they usually called each other senior brother and junior sister, so Qiao Aiyun naturally wouldn’t think of them that way.

“Shaochen isn’t bad. Wangchuan, what do you think?”

Yan Wangchuan cleared his throat. “Focus on watching the live broadcast.”

Qiao Aiyun glanced at Qiao Xiyan. “Actually, Xiyan is quite good too. It’s just that he doesn’t care about girls and has forgetfulness. What if he loses his wife in the future?”

Qiao Xiyan rubbed his fingers, feeling an inexplicable headache.

At this moment, in the venue, because of Tang Jingci’s question, the most controversial rumors about her fell apart. Ding Jingyi, standing in front, instantly became the focus of the media’s criticism.

She had been in the limelight recently, causing all the editors-in-chief to keep an eye on their reporters and ask them to work hard to produce news so that they wouldn’t be overtaken by a lousy website.

“So it’s all rumors that came out of nowhere.”

“She shouldn’t be a journalist. She should be writing novels.”

“How could there be such a mistake? She must have gone crazy from wanting to become famous. Now that someone has something on her, she’s probably doomed this time.”

…

After speaking, Tang Jingci sat back in her seat leisurely. She held the pen and played with it in her hand. Her eyes were so cold that they seemed to be wrapped in ice, and they were staring directly at Ding Jingyi. “Miss Ding, I’m waiting for your answer.”

Ding Jingyi held the microphone. Facing the attacks of her peers behind her, she was in a difficult position and could only admit defeat. “This is my fault. I didn’t investigate clearly and jumped to conclusions, causing you harm. I’m sorry.”

She knew when to give in.

Tang Jingci smiled faintly. “You’re willing to admit that your report is false, right?”

What else could Ding Jingyi do? Tang Jingci could totally find the pharmacy clerk to confront her. She really didn’t have concrete evidence, so she could only nod and admit defeat.

“In that case, I have to wonder if your previous reports are also true…” Tang Jingci casually played with the pen in her hand. “For example…

“That report about my grandmaster and grandmother.” When Tang Jingci could start to remember, Old Madam Qiao hadn’t passed away yet, and she had always called her grandmother.

She respected her from the bottom of her heart. Having someone bully her grandmother like this, she would always remember this debt.

The entire matter had only spread widely because of the many reports about the design exhibition. She had always felt guilty and thought that it was because of her that the elders who had passed away for so long attracted such a bad reputation.

The reporters who could attend today’s press conference were all smart people.

They could already see the clues.

Today’s press conference wasn’t for the public at all. They had specially invited reporters and forbade outsiders from attending to lure Ding Jingyi out.

It was completely prepared for her alone.

Tang Jingci had asked so many questions. From questioning her article to denying everything she had, she had taken every step carefully and planned to break her.

This scheme was very meticulous.

“Miss Ding, you know very well what kind of position my grandmaster has. If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave this door today.”

“There are so many reporters here. Are you threatening me?” Ding Jingyi gritted her teeth. She didn’t expect Tang Jingci to be waiting for her here.

“Even if I am, so what? You ruined the elders’ reputations and bullied them for being unable to question you face to face because they’ve already passed away. Who gave you the courage to spout such nonsense?”
