Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Something Doesn’t Sound Right

“As the female protagonist in the photo, if the affair scandal were true, Miss Yu would be the home-wrecker. Have you ever considered this issue?”

“Now that there’s video proof, it’s confirmed that the photos circulating online were just optical illusions caused by angles. Are Miss Yu’s private relations with Mr. Jie good? Could there be further developments?”

“…”

The media went crazy, all pushing towards Yu Yueman’s direction.

The barely maintained order at the scene seemed about to collapse.

Yu Yueman’s bodyguards tightly guarded her as they walked towards the stage where Dan Hanjie was.

Her beautifully made-up face showed no sign of fear, and she gestured with hands together to the surrounding reporters.

“Everyone, please don’t rush. Let me through first, okay? Thank you.”

Hearing Yu Yueman’s words, everyone sensed a scoop and quickly made way, clearing the path in the middle.

Yu Yueman successfully passed through the crowd and reached the front of the high platform.

She glanced at the expressionless Dan Hanjie, gave a slight smile, then turned around to face the reporters below.

“I was busy handling a newly undertaken collaboration today, so I saw the news quite late and couldn’t clarify immediately, causing trouble for Mr. Jie and his wife. I am very sorry.”

Following Yu Yueman’s words, the venue fell silent.

Seeing the focus of the media on her, Dan Hanjie frowned unhappily.

“Bang–”

Inside the villa’s living room, Qin Youxuan irritably threw the remote control at the screen.

“She could have come earlier or later, but she waited until everything stabilized to make an appearance, clearly to steal the spotlight.”

It infuriated her.

Qin Youxuan stared intensely at Yu Yueman on the press conference screen; if looks could kill, she would have dismembered Yu Yueman!

“Everyone saw just now, the sources of the two sets of photos were just normal videos. Mr. Jie and I really didn’t do anything inappropriate, I don’t know why we were targeted.”

Yu Yueman’s voice was soft, her young age making her seem even more pitiable.

She sniffled softly, her tears almost falling.

“I admit, I do have feelings for Mr. Jie, but he is already married…”

Once Yu Yueman voiced this, sounds of sharp intakes of breath filled the venue.

“Miss Yu, do you mean that if Mr. Jie were not married, you would pursue him?”

“Could it be that the two encounters weren’t just coincidences, but also involved some initiative from the parties?”

“Miss Yu, are you suggesting that if Mr. Jie were to dissolve his marriage, there could be a possibility of you two being together?”

“…”

“I don’t know, I just misspoke earlier,” Yu Yueman said, startled and stepping back as if guilty.

“We didn’t do anything; please stop asking.”

Yu Yueman’s words sounded like a guilty cover-up.

The more you heard, the more suspicious it sounded.

Seeing her silent, the media quickly turned their microphones towards Dan Hanjie.

“Mr. Jie, what’s your view on this?”

“Considering the Yu family and the Dan family are both prominent clans, have you thought about a strategic marriage alliance?”

“Compared to your current wife, who has nothing, wouldn’t the Dan family prefer Miss Yu as your wife?”

“…”

Dan Hanjie stood up from his seat, his cold gaze sweeping across the venue without offering Yu Yueman even a glance.

His formidable presence unexpectedly quieted the already tense atmosphere of the reception.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for him to speak.
