Chapter 50 Press Conference (2)

"You can also verify this with An Ziyu," Chi Jun'an's gaze fell on the last photo, and his eyes became a bit deeper. "In this photo, Ji Xiaonuan went on a field trip with her classmates and took her classmate's car."

His gaze swept over the reporters below and he said in a deep voice, "She is a very nice and innocent girl. She is not being kept by anyone, and she definitely didn't cheat on anyone."

Ji Xiaonuan, who was at the Chi family mansion, looked at her phone in surprise.

She got the news from her roommate that Chi Jun'an was going to hold a press conference, and it would be a live broadcast.

Ji Xiaonuan opened the live broadcast channel. She didn't expect that Chi Jun'an would clarify things for her first.

She stared blankly at Chi Jun'an on the phone. In front of the camera, he was still as handsome, gentle, and polite as ever.

The reporters below were in an uproar. Obviously, they didn't quite believe Chi Jun'an's explanation.

The reporters asked one after another:

"Mr. Chi, how do you know so clearly about Ji Xiaonuan's affairs?"

"Mr. Chi, why are you clarifying things for Ji Xiaonuan? What's your relationship with her?"

"Aren't you going to investigate the shady deal of the surrogacy selection event?"

... Looking at the indignant reporters, Chi Jun'an said indifferently, "There was indeed a shady deal in the surrogacy selection event."

The entire venue fell silent immediately.

Ji Xiaonuan's fingers stiffened slightly. How was Chi Jun'an going to explain this matter? Would he... really let her go?

"Here, I want to apologize to everyone. Because the person who created this shady deal is none other than me," Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"What?!" Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. They stared at Chi Jun'an in disbelief. The shady deal was actually created by him? Then... what kind of shady deal was this?

On the screen behind Chi Jun'an, a photo of Ji Xiaonuan during the surrogacy selection event appeared. She was only wearing a suit jacket.

However, like the previous photos of Ji Xiaonuan, this photo was also carefully censored.

"This is a photo of Ji Xiaonuan during the preliminary surrogacy selection. There was a problem with her dress. And I happened to be on the scene at that time. I... fell in love with her at first sight. So, I took her away and lent her my coat," Chi Jun'an's lips curved slightly, and his fingers gently stroked the suit jacket on his body.

The suit jacket on Ji Xiaonuan was enlarged, and everyone was stunned to find that it was indeed exactly the same as the suit jacket Chi Jun'an was wearing.

He continued to explain, "I thought I had found the other half of my destiny, so I directly stopped the surrogacy selection event and didn't give any explanation. This was indeed my oversight..."

"Mr. Chi, do you mean that you are together now?"

"Is it because you fell in love with Ji Xiaonuan that you deliberately took all the blame on yourself to whitewash the matter of Ji Xiaonuan bribing the staff of the Chi Group?"

The reporters below asked sharply.

They couldn't accept his explanation. If they did, then Ji Xiaonuan would be completely innocent. Then what else could they hype up?

Chi Jun'an's expression became slightly solemn. He let out a faint sigh. "We are not together."

The reporters below fell silent.

This was the first time they had come into direct contact with Chi Jun'an. They had originally planned to use all their skills to corner him with questions, but they suddenly found that Chi Jun'an was not as easy to bully as they had imagined. Instead, he led the topic again and again, and they even felt as if they had been teased! He didn't play by the rules at all!

"Here, I want to sincerely apologize to Ji Xiaonuan," Chi Jun'an said calmly, looking at the camera. His deep eyes flickered slightly. "After seeing her at the surrogacy selection event, I investigated her and thought she was very suitable to be my wife, so I started to pursue her. However, she doesn't like me. My male pride made me do some wrong things that forced her." There was another uproar below.

Chi Jun'an actually not only revealed that his pursuit was rejected but also self-deprecatingly admitted his mistakes at such a press conference?

In the whole incident, the focus of people's attention was not Ji Xiaonuan but Chi Jun'an who was implicated.

Now that Chi Jun'an had thrown himself into the center of the whirlpool, how could they not care?

What were the so-called wrong things done by force? Everyone couldn't help but start imagining.

"Although those things didn't break the law, they went against Ji Xiaonuan's will," Chi Jun'an continued. "Just like our previous meetings, I forced her to meet me."

The reporters were almost furious. Chi Jun'an was constantly tempting them with bait!

"And it was also because of my entanglement that Ji Xiaonuan encountered the current slander," Chi Jun'an's expression darkened a bit. "I apologize to Ji Xiaonuan again for my naive actions."

Afraid of any more twists and turns, the reporters stopped asking questions and waited for Chi Jun'an to finish speaking.

"Forced love is not sweet. I won't pester her anymore," Chi Jun'an's expression darkened. The next moment, he said seriously, "I hope this matter can end here. Ji Xiaonuan and I have no fate. She was just innocently implicated. I just hope that you all won't pester her anymore and let her continue to live a peaceful life." The reporters were in an uproar again.

They had originally thought that, given Chi Jun'an's current status, he would at least continue to pursue Ji Xiaonuan. But what was going on now? Was he giving up like this?

The people who were incited by the public opinion actually didn't care about the so-called shady deal at all. What they cared about was who was with Chi Jun'an.

No matter who was with Chi Jun'an, they would first be scrutinized by public opinion. If Chi Jun'an gave up on Ji Xiaonuan and didn't plan to be with her, then who would pay attention to an ordinary college student?

Ji Xiaonuan, who was given up by Chi Jun'an, had no value in public opinion at all. The reporters were not wasting their time. Who would continue to pay attention to her?

"Mr. Chi, will you continue to hold the surrogacy selection event?"

The reporters asked one after another, but the news spokesperson had already stepped onto the stage and announced the end of the press conference.

Ji Xiaonuan stared blankly at her phone. On the screen, Chi Jun'an was being escorted by bodyguards as he left the scene.

Looking at his resolute face, her heart was filled with confusion.

She never expected that Chi Jun'an would do this.

In order to clear the stains on her, Chi Jun'an took all the blame on himself. She was completely removed from this matter and became an innocent victim. All the bad names associated with her would disappear. However, his actions would inevitably have an impact on the Chi Group.

She couldn't help but look at the comments. Now the public opinion had forgotten about her and was all discussing Chi Jun'an.

The mainstream opinion was that Chi Jun'an was too impulsive and willful and was not suitable to be the president of the Chi Group. Chi Jun'an was now officially in the spotlight.
