Chapter 251: Press Conference
Lily?
Gu Zijin looked down to cover the expression in his eyes. He held Qin Xiaobai in his arms and said smilingly, “Then, let’s go to buy flowers for mom.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“OK!” Qin Xiaobai nodded happily. Then, he lowered his head, seeming to be lost in thought on Gu Zijin’s legs.
A few minutes later, Gu Zijin told the driver to stop in front of a flower shop. Then he got off the car and walked into the shop with his son.
Gu Zijin asked the salesperson to pack a bunch of lilies directly. After he paid, he wanted to leave right away, but unexpectedly saw the TV on the wall of the shop.
Right now, the news about him and Yan Yuxiao was being reported. Suddenly, the picture was switched to the Press Conference that Yan Yuxiao had called and the title on the screen was ‘President Gu and Yan Yuxiao’s wedding is coming near.’
Qin Xiaobai looked over and saw Yan Yuxiao talking about Qin Muxuan with the reporters. The boy’s little face turned gloomy at once. Fortunately, he and Gu Zijin had both put on facial masks when they left home so the salesperson didn’t recognize them. If their photos were posted on the Internet, someone would make a big fuss about this for sure.
These days, Qin Xiaobai could run into reporters every time he went out. Also, those reporters always wrote about Qin Muxuan in their reports. Qin Xiaobai even started to hate being an actor if things went on like this.
As Gu Zijin looked at Yan Yuxiao on the screen, his eyes also turned sullen. Her crying face on TV made him feel sick. Then he looked to Qin Xiaobai and said, “Xiaobai, daddy needs to deal with something first. We’ll visit mom later, OK?”
Qin Xiaobai nodded. He had already guessed what problem Gu Zijin was going to solve.
At the moment, at the site of the press conference, Yan Yuxiao was wiping her tears on her face. She had just answered a question about Qin Muxuan.
“Miss Yan, you are so kind. It’s so lucky for President Gu to marry you.” A female reporter got to the front and said.
Hearing that, Yan Yuxiao smiled to that reporter and said, “Thanks.”
“Miss Yan, will your wedding with President Gu be postponed because of Qin Muxuan’s death?” Another reporter asked.
After all, what the public cared about most was Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao’s wedding date. It was said that Elderly Lady Gu had organized the wedding by herself this time and the betrothal presents were quite generous.
“I feel very sorry for Miss Qin, but our wedding date is set next month, which is after Miss Qin’s funeral. I believe she’ll bless me and Zijin in heaven.” Yan Yuxiao was trying to imply that her wedding wouldn’t be postponed. After all, now it was near the end of the month and Qin Muxuan’s funeral would be held next week.
“Miss Yan, you seem to be in a hurry. Your wedding will be held a week after Qin Muxuan’s funeral. Is this President Gu’s idea?” Every word this reporter said was like like a knife stabbing Yan Yuxiao’s heart.
Annoyed as she was, she still had to endure that and kept smiling. “Grandma has decided the date. I think Zijin knows about it too.”
Everyone knew that Yan Yuxiao was referring to Elderly Lady Gu. This time she used Elderly Lady Gu as a shield, not caring how the latter would feel when seeing this report.
“Can you tell us the exact date of your wedding?”
“Of course, it’s on the seventh day of next month…”
“There will be no wedding.” Gu Zijin’s voice suddenly came by the door which interrupted Yan Yuxiao’s speech.
His words caused a stir in the crowd. Then the reporters surrounded him at once.
“President Gu, what did you mean by that? Haven’t you already got a marriage license with Miss Yan?” The reporter who had been asking Yan Yuxiao questions rushed to Gu Zijin.
“Zijin, what are you doing here?” Yan Yuxiao’s face was deadly pale. She went off the stage and walked toward Gu Zijin immediately.
Seeing that, the reporters made way for her at once. As Yan Yuxiao reached him, she took his arm and said,
“Sorry everyone, actually, Zijin always wants to make everything simple, but grandma insists on giving us a grand wedding. I thought they have already reached an agreement.” Yan Yuxiao answered the reporter’s question before Gu Zijin could say anything with an apologetic look.
Most of the reporters believed her words, but the reporter who had just asked that question still wouldn’t give up, “President Gu, is Miss Yan telling the truth? Or there is more to it than that?”
Gu Zijin took Yan Yuxiao’s hand off his arm and said with a cold face, “What I said is the fact. There will be no wedding between me and Yan Yuxiao.”
Yan Yuxiao got panicky at once and pulled Gu Zijin’s sleeve instantly, “Zijin…”
Gu Zijin threw her hand away directly this time. The reporters all took a picture of that scene immediately.
“President Gu, can you explain everything to us?”
“President Gu, you still haven’t forgotten Qin Muxuan, is that right?”
President Gu… President Gu…
The reporters rushed over at once with endless questions. He loured while squeezing himself out of the crowd. After that, he ran into the elevator and shut all the reporters out.
Clearly he had no intention to care about Yan Yuxiao’s situation. After he had left, those reporters could only bombard Yan Yuxiao with questions.
Yan Yuxiao was overwhelmed by all those questions while feeling coldness deep down. Suddenly, she felt everything in front of her went black and she fell onto the ground.
“Miss Yan!”
“Call the ambulance!”‘
The reporters all got flustered when seeing Yan Yuxiao faint. Some of them called the ambulance, and some tried to save her. However, even at a moment like this, a reporter still pointed the camera at her and started to report what had happened today.
“Daddy, how’s everything going?’ Qin Xiaobai said in the car.
“I’ve already told the reporters that I won’t marry Yan Yuxiao.” After Gu Zijin saw the news in the flower shop, he brought Qin Xiaobai there to clarify his relationship with Yan Yuxiao.
“But daddy, I saw the marriage license of you and her on Weibo…” Qin Xiaobai, pouting, looked at Gu Zijin. Qin Xiaobai saw the picture on that marriage license long ago. However, he believed that his father would never really marry Yan Yuxiao.
“Xiaobai…” Gu Zijin opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain to the boy.
“Dad, is that true?” Qin Xiaobai asked again.
Gu Zijin was very quiet for a moment. Then he answered, “Yes.”
After Qin Xiaobai heard that, he didn’t cry or make a scene and only wrinkled his eyebrows deeply. However, that made Gu Zijin even more worried.
As Gu Zijin was about to explain, Qin Xiaobai said first, “It’s because of my great grandmother, right?” Qin Xiaobai had already figured out the cause and effect after thinking the whole thing through.
Gu Zijin nodded.
“Daddy, promise me that you’ll divorce that woman, would you?” Qin Xiaobai said that with a serious look.
‘Dabai would be so sad if she knows that daddy has married that woman. I hate that woman. If it were not for her, Dabai wouldn’t have died.’
As he thought of that, there was even hatred appearing in his eyes.
Gu Zijin felt a piercing pain when seeing Qin Xiaobai’s face. He held the boy in his arms and said, “I promise you.”
After that, he called Lisa in front of Qin Xiaobai and asked her to deal with the divorce.
Lisa frowned. Gu Zijin had sent the two marriage licenses to the Gu’s old house. Now that Yan Yuxiao had both licenses, there was no way that Gu Zijin could get divorced.
“President, you have to get the marriage license from Miss Yan first.”
Gu Zijin also knitted his eyebrows hearing that. He did have forgotten that.
“I see.”
His eyebrows remained wrinkled after he hung up the phone.
“Daddy, what happened?”
Gu Zijin told Qin Xiaobai the current situation. Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai frowned right away.
Yan Yuxiao would never give the marriage license.
Gu Zijin looked at Qin Xiaobai’s worried face and sighed, “Let me handle this.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded. He believed Gu Zijin would find a fix.
