"Mrs. Bo, Young Mr. Bo spent the night with Tang Tian at Hai Wan Xiang Xie. What are your thoughts about this?"
"Mrs. Bo, today Miss Tang attended the opening ceremony hand in hand with your husband. What role did she play there?"
"As everyone knows, you are the Young Madam of the Bo Family, and your relationship has always been strained. Is Tang Tian's appearance an ominous sign?"
The reporters' questions grew increasingly tricky. Bo Yunshen and Tang Tian showed no intent to explain, while Qin Yan's gaze briefly touched Bo Yunshen's face.
His expression was cold. He lowered his head, seemingly listening to something Tang Tian was saying.
Qin Yan, seeing that the scoop had probably gathered enough attention, then said with a smile, "The things you mentioned, I was already aware of them beforehand."
At that statement, flashbulbs went off wildly, the bright lights forcing Qin Yan to squint.
"Today, I have three announcements to make. The first, which is also the most important, as everyone is aware, is the opening of Luo Shen Bay. As one of the project leads, I would like to start by thanking all the media for coming."
"Second, I welcome Tang Tian to join Luo Shen Bay as a special guest and one of our spokespersons. Third, it pertains to a private matter between us."
"As you all may know, Tang Tian had a humble start. Over the years, she has been financially supported by Yunshen and myself. In fact, Tiantian has always been like a dear little sister to me, and Yunshen and I have always held her dear. It's quite common for her to stay at our home, isn't it, Tiantian?"
As Qin Yan finished speaking, a reporter standing close to Tang Tian handed her the microphone.
Indeed coming from a poor background, Tang Tian had been molded by the Bo Group into an image of inspiration. By saying this, if Tang Tian denied these statements, it would be tainted by implication that she had been involved in an affair with Bo Yunshen, effectively becoming the third party in their marriage!
She despised the effortless way Qin Yan managed to define her relationship with Bo Yunshen with a single sentence, compelling her agent to demand she lose twenty pounds!
Clenching her teeth in suppressed anger yet forcing a strained smile on her face, Tang Tian said, "That's right, I've always been very grateful to Sister Yan."
Over the past three years, Bo Yunshen's scandals had been relentless. Qin Yan had gone from being at a loss for words when questioned by reporters to answering flawlessly and effortlessly—something even she found unbelievable.
Once things had been clarified, and the reporters found no more scandals to unearth, they naturally shifted their attention to the opening ceremony of Luo Shen Bay.
The Bo Group had hired a renowned presenter, who quickly managed to enliven the audience.
As the spirits were high, the presenter directed the technicians to play the concept video for Luo Shen Bay's real estate.
At that moment, Qin Yan was looking down at documents handed to her by Xiao Shen, when the room suddenly turned noisy.
Sensing someone tugging at her sleeve, Qin Yan frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao Shen. Xiao Shen's face was pale, and his voice trembled, "Director Qin, look⋯⋯"
Lifting her head, Qin Yan's eyes met the giant screen displaying intertwining nude bodies. The female star was one of the spokespersons.
Tang Tian.
In the photos, her face bore a seductive expression, clashing with her otherwise innocent appearance.
Qin Yan's brow furrowed and her lips curled in an ironic smile. She remembered how Bo Yunshen had a strong penchant for cleanliness—he either got rid of it or had he started to disregard it completely?
This thought merely flickered through her mind.
At the sight of the photos on the big screen, Tang Tian was immediately surrounded by a swarm of reporters, bombarding her with countless questions.
Her reputation as an inspiring, pure woman was instantly torn apart and laid bare for all to see.
"Miss Tang, who are these men in the photographs, and could you please explain?" a reporter asked.
"Mr. Bo, with Luo Shen Bay choosing such an unethical spokesperson, was Miss Tang taking a shortcut? Is there any truth to Mrs. Bo's earlier explanation?"
Tang Tian's emotions became increasingly agitated with the mounting questions from the reporters. She found herself speechless and instinctively tried to hide in the direction of Bo Yunshen.
As soon as she moved, the bodyguard accompanying Bo Yunshen stepped in to block the crowd, which included reporters.
Suddenly, Tang Tian broke down in tears, squatting on the ground and hugging herself to fend off the reporters' relentless inquiries.
Bo Yunshen, witnessing this scene, his brow quickly furrowed in a flash of impatience. Qin Yan, who was some distance away, could see Bo Yunshen, who seemed unlikely to lend a helping hand.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned to Xiao Shen and said, "Take the bodyguard over to stop the reporters, and then bring Mr. Bo and Tang Tian to the lounge—I'll follow shortly."
After Xiao Shen had left, Qin Yan and the host began to calm the reporters at the venue.
By the time they returned to the sales office, half an hour had passed.
Qin Yan had a headache about the whole ordeal; while Luo Shen Bay did have competitors, she couldn't think of anyone who would release Tang Tian's nude photos just as the launch commenced.
It was only yesterday that Tang Tian's roles as spokesperson and special guest were confirmed!
Upon entering, Qin Yan immediately spotted Bo Yunshen behind a large green plant in the sales office.
A half-smoked cigarette was pinched between his fingertips, and a light layer of barely visible ash lay under his feet; the man had just exhaled a ring of smoke, his handsome face still covered by a thin, pale mist, obscuring his expression.
Qin Yan paused, struck by the sight of Bo Yunshen—sexy, mature, and strikingly handsome.
He leaned against the doorway, his long legs casually placed in a way that blocked the path to the lounge. Seeing that he had no intention of moving, Qin Yan asked, "How is Tang Tian doing?"
Bo Yunshen looked up at the sound, Qin Yan's appearance sharp and tidy in formal wear, giving off a fresh and clean look.
In reality, her tactics were also very shrewd; Bo Yunshen glanced down at the exquisite men's watch on his wrist—being able to soothe the reporters' emotions and appear here within half an hour spoke volumes about her public relations skills.
He narrowed his long eyes, his gaze sharp. Qin Yan had been manipulative since three years ago, capable of dealing with his troublesome mother and even gaining the appreciation of his picky father.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to destroy his love life so effortlessly.
"Wasn't this whole play orchestrated by you well in advance?" Bo Yunshen's lips curled into a mocking sneer. "You already knew it would ruin Tiantian's reputation, yet you hypocritically come here to ask how she is doing? Qin Yan, are you proud of yourself?"
"You misunderstand me⋯⋯" Qin Yan barely managed to utter five words before Bo Yunshen laughed—a laugh devoid of warmth.
"Director Qin's character, I experienced it well three years ago. There's no need to act innocent and kind in front of me—it's pointless!"
In the end, Bo Yunshen's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of frivolity, his tone entwining seductively, yet his words left no room for Qin Yan's dignity.
