As long as Xu Ke hadn’t arrived, there was no way to directly clarify the situation at the press conference. And as long as he was unable to clarify, Wong Qifu would be unable to announce her marriage because of Xu Ke, a tainted individual. Otherwise, the mont the announcent was made, she would be attacked by the covetous Wang Tianlu. If things got serious, she could even lose her position. According to the Wang Family Corporation’s charter, the chairman is responsible for any major damage to the group’s reputation or any significant losses incurred.
Therefore, Wang Yu believed that if Xu Ke didn’t show up, Wong Qifu would certainly not make the announcent lightly. The press conference could then perfectly dispel the rumors about the relationship between Xu Ke and Wong Qifu. This way, she could not only get revenge for Wong Liqing but also finalize her cooperation with Sun Luo. After all, she greatly coveted the benefits offered by Wong Ting’s side.
Seeing Wang Yu’s brimming confidence, Wong Liqing said nothing more.
「...」
The statents at the press conference all pertained to the corporation’s strategic issues. The audience was growing drowsy; only the reporters from the economic and financial dia were fully engrossed.
Just then, the spokesperson on the stage finished his prepared speech. "...well, that concludes the strategic issues related to the Wang Family Corporation. Next, please welco our chairman to speak."
The mont he finished, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly changed. All eyes lit up, and everyone’s spirits were lifted.
The main event is here!
BANG.
The doors opened. Wong Qifu, dressed in a white woman’s suit, was standing just outside. Upon seeing her, everyone involuntarily held their breath.
Such a powerful presence!
That was their first reaction. Even though Wong Qifu had chosen a simple white suit instead of a stunning formal gown due to the occasion, it still couldn’t conceal her exquisite beauty. In that instant, all the lights seed to dim, as all attention focused solely on her.
So of the dia personnel couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.
A woman like this—so domineering, so powerful, and with such peerless beauty—why didn’t she go into show business? She could definitely beco a top star.
Of course, this thought was rely fleeting. A person who could beco a titan of capital would never want to beco a star controlled by one.
Besides that, others were thinking...
This kind of woman... besides the handful of top figures in the country, who else could possibly possess her? Xu Ke? He’s definitely not worthy.
During the livestream, a flood of comnts appeared from viewers.
"Does such a woman really exist?"
"Beautiful and rich... a truly stunning and wealthy woman."
"I originally thought the Wang Family Corporation’s denial yesterday was fake, just a way to avoid Xu Ke’s scandal from affecting them. Now, I believe it."
"Xu Ke is simply not worthy of Wong Qifu."
"She’s so beautiful. I really envy her fiancé; I wonder what good deeds he must have done to deserve her."
"Heh, I’m just here to see how Xu Ke ets his end."
「...」
At this mont, Wong Qifu walked onto the stage, her gaze briefly crossing with Wang Yu, who was standing in a corner. Wang Yu was smiling, a look of triumph on her face.
I’d like to see what choice you make, Wong Qifu, now that Xu Ke has been caught.
「...」
"Ladies and gentlen of the dia, good afternoon. I am Wong Qifu." After sitting down, Wong Qifu smiled as she addressed the audience.
At the sight of her smile, the crowd couldn’t help but look on in amazent before breaking into thunderous applause.
Once the applause died down, Wong Qifu took out the prepared speech. "A mont ago, our group shared its main developnt strategies with our friends in the dia. I won’t repeat them. Let’s now proceed to the question-and-answer session."
Her words had barely settled when an impatient reporter imdiately asked, "Is it true, as the announcent from the Wang Family Corporation stated yesterday, that Xu Ke is not your fiancé and that your real fiancé is soone else?"
Who cared about strategic issues? Gossip was what truly captured everyone’s attention.
Hearing the question, Wong Qifu’s smile never faded. "Are we moving on to my personal ti so quickly? Wouldn’t that be a bit unfair to those who worked so hard to speak on behalf of the group earlier? People who don’t know better might think I’m just trying to hog the spotlight."
"When this press conference is nearing its end, I can take so ti to answer. For now, please stick to questions related to the group’s strategies."
As she finished speaking, so people in the audience couldn’t help but chuckle.
Wong Qifu is a master at playing Tai Chi. She neither answered directly nor completely evaded the question. Instead, she used a clever rhetorical trick to make it awkward for anyone to press the issue.
Among those watching the livestream, their admiration for Wong Qifu grew even stronger.
Rumor has it that Wong Qifu is domineering, but seeing her today, she’s not only beautiful but also articulate. How could a woman like that be domineering?
In truth, Wong Qifu’s words were not just a tactic to delay answering the question about her engagent. More importantly, Xu Ke was currently tending to the wound on his shoulder. She needed to wait for him to co out before they answered together.
「...」
「Western Restaurant.」
"Heh, what a pretense."
Watching Wong Qifu’s statent, Yang Qing felt a surge of bitter resentnt and jealousy. Though she hadn’t genuinely been trying to seduce Xu Ke before, his firm rejection and refusal of even the slightest physical contact had left her deeply resentful. Yesterday, when the Wang Family Corporation issued its clarifying statent, she had felt a sense of triumph.
So what if Wong Qifu was powerful? Hadn’t she been forced to retreat and issue a clarification under my relentless assault? Wang Family Empress? Just an empty title!
But now, seeing Wong Qifu’s graceful and composed deanor on cara, she finally understood the imnse gap between them. It was like the difference between the clouds and the mud!
The more she thought about it, the more inferior Yang Qing felt, and the more her inner fury burned. She beca even more determined to make both Xu Ke and Wong Qifu suffer her revenge.
「...」
「Rental Apartnt.」
When Nie Qinghe saw the dazzling Wong Qifu on the screen, he nearly ground his teeth to dust.
He railed inwardly—
Why? Why does Xu Ke get to have a woman like this? Why was Xu Ke the one who got noticed? Why not ?
The thought of Xu Ke and Wong Qifu having likely spent countless passionate nights together only made Nie Qinghe’s jealousy burn hotter.
「...」
After Wong Qifu had answered questions for about fifteen minutes, no one had any more inquiries about the Wang Family Corporation’s strategy. The press conference was drawing to a close.
"Alright, this press conference is about to conclude. Before it does, I will address the questions from all corners of society regarding my engagent that arose last night," Wong Qifu said.
As she spoke, one could distinctly feel the atmosphere in the room shift. The reporter who had been so impatient earlier was once again on the edge of his seat. Journalists from non-financial dia outlets and social dia influencers with significant followings all grew excited.
Every word Wong Qifu said next would beco a gold mine for them in the coming days.
anwhile, Wang Yu squinted slightly, her eyes fixed on Wong Qifu on the stage. Their gazes happened to et.
Wang Yu mouthed a warning: "Don’t talk nonsense." Then, she flashed a smug smile.
The next mont, Wong Qifu slowly said, "I’ve always believed that marriage... is a matter between two people."
"Regarding the issue of my marriage, I feel it should not be answered by alone."
"My fiancé will also be here today."
Her words fell into a dead silent room. Everyone was stunned.
Wasn’t today just about clarifications and answers? The fiancé is going to make an appearance?!
In the next mont, the entire crowd buzzed with an excitent as if they had been injected with adrenaline. They had absolutely made the right decision to attend this press conference! They never imagined they would get to see Wong Qifu’s actual fiancé.
Under these circumstances, almost no one still believed that Xu Ke was her fiancé.
Those watching the livestream were also wondering—
Just what kind of man could possibly be worthy of Wong Qifu?
But at that mont, Wang Yu’s expression turned to one of shock and suspicion.
Where could Wong Qifu have possibly found a new fiancé?
BANG.
The doors opened, and light poured in from outside. Instinctively, everyone turned their gaze toward it, their eyes squinting against the brightness.
As they got a clear look at the newcor, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
How could it be him?
