Chapter 854: Stunning Reversal, Face-Slapping! (Part 1)
Sure enough, the way the reporters on the scene looked at Yan Weiyang changed.
With a hint of flattery.
Leng Yan sneered, "How shameless, does she really know Lady Lingyi? I find it hard to believe."
Few people in the entertainment circle know that Yan Weiyang is the daughter of Yan Lingyi.
Leng Yan definitely doesn’t know.
Xia Weibao glanced at the expressionless Xia Shi, uncertain if Xia Shi knew.
She felt Xia Shi knew quite a lot.
Xia Weibao turned her gaze back to the interview, silently calculating in her heart how many episodes Yan Weiyang could survive in a palace intrigue drama.
One must say, this woman is pretty clever, very adept at using her advantages.
She also knows how to clear up misunderstandings.
At the interview scene, the reporters’ attitudes improved a lot, no longer as aggressive as at the beginning.
But the necessary questions still had to be asked, as everyone wanted to dig up more news value.
"Miss Yan, a few days ago someone saw you having breakfast near Lu Corporation, were you dining with Director Lu?"
"No." Yan Weiyang replied calmly, "There’s a specialty breakfast shop near Lu Corporation that I have always liked. I’ve often gone there in the past, and I’m a regular customer with a membership. If you don’t believe me, you can check."
Her answer was forthright.
All of it was true.
She is indeed a regular customer of that specialty breakfast shop and has a membership there.
Whenever she has time, she goes there for breakfast and has a fixed spot that no one can question.
As for why she frequents it, it’s not because she likes the breakfast, but because that breakfast shop is right opposite the Lu Corporation entrance, and she can occasionally see Lu Hualiang coming in and out, which makes her quite satisfied.
"Miss Yan, yesterday morning you spent three hours at Lu Corporation, and online rumors say you were meeting Director Lu secretly. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this question, Yan Weiyang’s smile became a bit bitter, filled with deep helplessness.
As an actress, an award-winning one at that, she naturally knows how to express the right emotions under various circumstances flawlessly.
"I did go to Lu Corporation yesterday morning, but it wasn’t to meet Director Lu secretly."
"Then what was your purpose for going to Lu Corporation?"
"Business. I have been negotiating endorsements for Lu Corporation’s jewelry brand and high-end fashion brand since the day I returned to the country. Yesterday morning, I just went to finalize the last details."
This explanation caused a stir among reporters and the live-streaming fans.
So it was for business, was that really the case?
"Since it was business, why were you the only person who went?"
Facing the reporter’s question, Yan Weiyang remained composed and calmly repeated what she had said to Yan Fei.
"My manager received a phone call at the last minute; her daughter was sick and needed to be taken to the hospital. The endorsements for Lu Corporation’s jewelry and high-end fashion brands had already been mostly negotiated, just awaiting final confirmation, and I could handle that alone."
It’s true that He Xin took her daughter to the hospital; even if the paparazzi dug to the bottom, they wouldn’t find anything on her.
To make her statement more convincing, Yan Weiyang added.
"I also don’t understand why this is being spread online as me visiting Director Lu, so in order not to cause any trouble for Director Lu, I’ve already promptly clarified it on Weibo, explaining that Director Lu and I are just ordinary friends, yet the situation still couldn’t be controlled."
Saying this, she showed an expression of guilt.
Every matter was explained smoothly and reasonably, leaving no room for criticism.
