Chapter 63 - 060 Acts realistically
The car door opened, and amidst a non-stop flurry of flashbulbs, Yun Ya pulled Yun Miao out of the sedan.
The two little figures were carved out of pink jade, just like the Wealthy Boys of Maitreya under observation, truly adorable as snow-white jade.
Jiang Si followed them out of the car, took the children by both hands, and regarding the unfamiliar yet cultured gentleman, the reporters curiously asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is your relationship with these two children?"
Jiang Si stopped in his tracks, gazed into the lens, and declared with a resonant voice, "I, surnamed Jiang, am Yun Ya’s personal teacher, and the children are not accustomed to such scenes, please do not frighten them, can you?"
How could the reporters possibly put down their cameras, when they had the rhythm of a breaking news story, no one wanted to be left drinking the northwest wind this month.
Jiang Si also knew it was not possible to stop these eagle-eyed reporters with just a word or two, but he still had to maintain his stance.
"Is it true that the brother among the twins faces congenital deafness and muteness?"
"It is said that Yun Shen and his mother abused the siblings; as the children’s personal teacher, are you privy to this information?"
"There are rumors that Yun Shen was responsible for Elder Ji’s death and drove away Miss Ji, do you have any knowledge of the insiders’ story?"
...
Questions of such sharpness kept emerging one after another.
Yun Ya lowered her head, obediently following beside Jiang Si.
There was a hint of mockery in her downcast eyes; truly, these reporters were good at their jobs, hitting the nail on the head with each question.
Jiang Si felt helpless; which question should he answer?
"Yun Ya, you’ve finally come back." A gentle voice suddenly interrupted, breaking through the noise.
This voice was cultured and cool as polished jade, flowing through the heart, evoking an indescribable feeling in one’s chest.
Yun Ya’s eyes narrowed sharply, and she revealed a gentle yet chilling smile.
All eyes turned towards the source, and they saw a woman in a blue-and-white cheongsam approach, her entire presence like uncut jade, exuding a tender and soft aura, and even the sunlight seemed to become mellow as it fell upon her.
Surprise flashed in everyone’s eyes.
Who was this woman?
Ignoring the flashing strobe lights, the lady moved swiftly through the crowd to Yun Ya, squatted down, and enveloped Yun Ya in an embrace.
"My dear granddaughter, you’ve finally returned, grandma has missed you so much."
Grandma—
The reporters were taken aback; could this youthful-looking woman actually be Ji Yunya’s grandmother, Yun Shen’s mother Yun Shu?
My goodness, they thought it would be an old lady; it was unexpected that she was so young and beautiful. Standing together with Yun Shen, they looked to be of the same age, she even appeared younger than Yun Shen.
However, judging by Yun Shu’s demeanor, she seemed to love Ji Yunya dearly, so what was with all those online revelations about abuse?
Yun Ya’s eyes were dark and profound, gradually becoming clear, revealing a sparkling surface, and the corners of her mouth gently curved up, as pure and innocent as any five-year-old child.
——Let’s see who can act more convincingly!
She wrapped her arms around Yun Shu’s neck and said with a giggle, "Grandma, I’ve missed you so much."
Yun Shu’s body felt cold in waves. She had imagined this moment countless times, but when they directly confronted each other, she still felt a jolt of fear.
This child is too terrifying...
Her trance lasted only a moment before she hugged Yun Ya with one arm and reached for Yun Miao with the other. Yun Miao’s response was the most direct. He flinched violently, as if he was very afraid of Yun Shu, and shrank behind Yun Ya.
Yun Shu’s face stiffened for a moment before she smiled even more tenderly, "Miaomiao, be good, come to Grandma, okay?"
The reporters, seeing a story unfolding, kept their flashes going non-stop.
"Excuse me, are you Madam Yun Shu?" a curious reporter asked.
Yun Shu straightened up, took Yun Ya and Yun Miao by their hands, and faced the cameras with a gentle smile.
"Yes, I am Yun Ya and Yun Miao’s grandmother, Yun Shu."
The reporters immediately showed interest, their microphones clamoring towards Yun Shu.
"Regarding the exposé on the internet, are you aware of it? Are you really abusing the siblings, or are you putting the two children in danger in order to seize the Ji Family inheritance?"
Yun Shu’s face turned slightly cold, her gaze resolute as she stared back at the eager reporters, showing no signs of fear or guilt, already winning in terms of presence.
"I do not know how these rumors started, but I am standing here now and can say with a clear conscience that I have only loved these two children, not enough. I had been recuperating at my hometown due to health issues, and when I heard the tragic news of Elder Ji, I was heartbroken, and Lanyi, due to certain reasons... left the two children behind. Shenshen is busy with his work, and he, being a man, would not know how to care for children. So even with my illness, I had to come and care for them, never expecting that it would lead to so many misunderstandings."
Yun Shu’s eyes brimmed with tears, standing there with a pitiable grace, moving some male reporters.
"These two children are the most adorable and clever. I couldn’t love them enough, how could I... how could I..." She seemed unable to continue, wiping her tears and shaking her head with a sigh.
"Although I’m just a woman, I cannot let others slander me. I reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility for the rumors on the internet," she said with a ringing tone, like a white poplar enduring the storm, resilient and determined.
Yun Ya’s lips curled slightly, the sneer in his eyes fleeting.
She didn’t feel ashamed to say these words.
The young girl looked at the camera shyly, her curiosity revealing a clear spring, "Grandma is very good to Miaomiao and me, I don’t want others to slander Grandma."
Yun Shu patted Yun Ya’s head with satisfaction, "Good child, with your words, even if Grandma is slandered, it’s nothing serious."
Indeed, a picture of loving grandmother and filial grandchildren unfolded.
A reporter sighed, "Lady Yun seems to be a person with a kind temperament, so gentle and amiable towards the children. How could the outside world spread such ugly rumors?"
"Yes, indeed, those who are ignorant could really be misled, it’s truly despicable..."
The reporters began to discuss animatedly, their words seeming to side with Yun Shu.
Yun Shu’s smile contained a mix of helplessness and bitterness, "Shenshen is in the business world, he may have unintentionally offended some people. If you are upright, you do not fear a crooked shadow. Rumors will eventually be shattered one day."
In just a few sentences, she had deflected the blame onto Yun Shen’s business rivals, truly a shrewd calculation.
