Kapitel 20: Insulting her mother...

"Calm down! Currently, we aren't in the position to fight with them" Sun Mei came towards Wang Yeyi and stood beside her.

"What are saying, Sister Sun? How could they disregard Miss Wang?" Win Yurou again tried to be on the good side of Wang Yeyi by bad-mouthing Lee Xuiye and Long Xue.

"Shut Up" Wang Yeyi disdained Win Yurou and left.

"Mind your own business" Sun Mei patted Win Yurou's shoulder while showing an evil smile and left after Wang Yeyi.

Win Yurou had an angry look if Wang Yeyi wasn't the President's beloved daughter, then Win Yurou would have torn apart her face until now.

Even, Win Yurou would agree that Lee Xuiye was far better than Wang Yeyi, in terms of beauty as well as in manners.

Soon Lee Xuiye and Long Xue reached conference hall, after them, Wang Yeyi and Sun Mei and lastly Win Yurou.

Shen Jiu was already present on stage with his colleagues and most of the reporters were also present there.

Of course, Shaan Industries was the number one company of their country, so when the media got the invitation for the press conference, they had sent their best showbiz reporters from their agencies.

When Shen Jiu saw Lee Xuiye, he immediately went towards her "Miss Lee, I am Shen Jiu, Manager of the PR department. It's a pleasure to meet with you".

Lee Xuiye shook her hand with his with a smile "Hello, Mr Shen. It's nice to meet you".

"Indeed, there is no doubt why your fans are calling you 'goddess'" Shen Jiu had admired Lee Xuiye' beauty especially her big blue eyes.

However, he quickly stopped himself like Qi Zhu, when he also remembered his boss. He didn't know that what was Mo Lingtan and Lee Xuiye's relationship? However, he knew that Lee Xuiye was different from other models and had a special place in Mo Lingtan's life.

"Thank you, Mr Shen" Lee Xuiye politely said.

At that time, Wang Yeyi and Sun Mei came inside the conference hall and went towards Shen Jiu, where Lee Xuiye and Long Xue were also standing there.

"Hello, Mr Shen, I am Wang Yeyi, It's really my pleasure to work with Shaan Industries. I'm so glad to have this opportunity!" Wang Yeyi said with a lovely smile and extended her hand out.

"Hello, Miss Wang" Shen Jiu said and shook his hand with her.

Even though, Shen Jiu shook his hand with her hand, unlike Qi Zhu, but still, he showed a disdainful look to her.

Sun Mei felt that everyone from Shaan Industries was looking down on Wang Yeyi, but she couldn't do anything as Shaan Industries was a big company and it was rare to get an opportunity like this.

Afterwards, everyone went towards the stage and press conference started.

Shen Jiu stood sternly behind the podium, while Lee Xuiye and Wang Yeyi sat on the chair in the centre of the stage under the flashes of the cameras.

"All our reporter friends, good afternoon, I, Shen Jiu, Manager of PR Department of Shaan Industries. As a representative of Shaan Industries, I hereby announce the annual ambassadors of Shaan Industries: Ms Xuiye and Ms Yeyi. Please welcome them".

The crowd gave both of them a big round of applause while flashes from the cameras were continued.

"Now, I would request to our reporter friends to ask questions from our ambassadors, one by one" Shen Jiu said and gestured to his colleague to hand over the mics to Lee Xuiye and Wang Yeyi.

Reporter 1: "Miss Lee, how do you feel working with your half-sibling? Like, being an illegitimate child, how do you feel working with the legitimate child from the same father?"

Reporter 2: "Miss Lee, we have heard that you got this endorsement because of Miss Wang, is it true?"

Reporter 3: "Miss Lee, don't you feel ashamed? Even though, Miss Wang helped you to get this endorsement and you accepted it shamelessly but now you are trying to take away the limelight from Miss Wang because of your current scandal with Mr Gu.

Reporter 4: "Miss Lee, after the release of the video of Mr Gu, you didn't announce cancellation your engagement. Are you planning to marry him or are you planning to be his mistress like your mother?"

Reporter 5: "Miss Lee, your mother have opened a restaurant with another man? Does she change her sugar daddy or is she still messing around with other men, as well?"

Reporter 1: "Miss Lee, don't you feel ashamed of having a mother like this or are you planning to continue on foot-prints[1] of your mother?"

Reporters immediately started firing their questions on Lee Xuiye, without giving her a chance to escape from their questions. As they were hired by Wang Yeyi to harass Lee Xuiye.

All of a sudden, the environment in the conference hall became awkward, as no one expected that the situation would turn out like this.

Wang Yeyi had an evil smile on her face, as she was watching the reporters insulting Lee Chang-You. She knew that the person who was important in Lee Xuiye's life was her mother, Lee Chang-You.
