Chapter 269

She was also indirectly telling Mrs. Qiao that she should not meddle too much either.

Children should resolve their own affairs themselves.

Rong Dai slowly drank her bird\'s nest soup while pricking up her ears to listen to their conversation.

Thinking about Qiao Wanzhou and Zhou Jing\'s situation, she also sighed to herself.

When she had helped Qiao Wanzhou initially, apart from wanting her to be the brand spokesperson, it was more because Rong Dai saw in her the same qualities that she herself had in the past.

The same stubbornness.

The same inability to give up before reaching the Yellow River.

It took Rong Dai fifteen minutes to finish the bowl of bird\'s nest soup. After tidying up, she went to sit in the living room.

"Isn\'t this Miss Qiao and Mr. Zhou?"

She had just sat down when Mrs. Wang was changing the channel for Old Madam and happened to see Zhou Jing and Qiao Wanzhou, who were holding a press conference, on the news.

Most of Zhou Jing\'s injuries were on his legs. The gauze on his face had been removed, revealing a shallow scar on his cheek that was beginning to form a scab. He sat in a wheelchair.

Beside him stood Qiao Wanzhou, a sweet smile on her beautiful face.

Because of a car accident, both had become braver.

Although Zhou Jing had violated traffic rules in that car accident, fortunately no one but himself was injured.

His driver\'s license was revoked and he was fined.

This was extremely lucky given the circumstances.

This was a live press conference. Rong Dai was surprised they were holding one so soon.

It looked like the two of them were already prepared.

From the corner of her eye, Rong Dai saw Mrs. Qiao\'s unhappy expression. She was clearly panicked, obviously not having known Qiao Wanzhou would hold this press conference.

Zhou Jing and Qiao Wanzhou.

These two were powerhouses in the entertainment industry. Having achieved dazzling success at a young age, the spotlight on them was of course eye-catching.

Moreover, with the exposure of their relationship this time, they had gained tremendous popularity, with all media outlets scrambling to uncover the emotional histories of them both.

But all were disappointed to find that both were famously pure and virtuous within entertainment social circles.

Although a few rumors had come out about Qiao Wanzhou before, they were clarified within days.

As for Zhou Jing, his love history was a blank page.

Even when acting intimately with top actresses, he always maintained a certain distance and boundary - not a shred of scandal had ever appeared.

The media present at the press conference were all authoritative and well-known outlets in the industry. The venue was packed layer upon layer with people.

Qiao Wanzhou went first to make her statement. Seeing her come forward to speak, the microphones and cameras immediately turned to her.

Meanwhile, the living room at the Huo Family home fell unusually silent, with all eyes glued to the television screen.

Only Rong Dai - although her eyes were stuck to the TV, her mind was racing.

Old Madam had clearly been aware of something to ask Mrs. Wang to turn on the TV at this time. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have preferred reading a book or the newspaper, seldom watching television.

If Old Madam wanted to know some news, Uncle Li would usually collect and summarize it to read to her. It was only on Chinese New Year\'s Eve that Old Madam watched a little Spring Festival Gala with them, almost never watching TV otherwise.

Rong Dai was puzzled, but knew better than to ask aloud at this moment. She just quietly sat to one side accompanying the three elders watching the press conference.

On screen, Qiao Wanzhou had a sweet smile, seeming to have gained some grace and poise after becoming a mother. Her beauty was breathtaking.

"Thank you everyone for your love and support over the years. I also deeply apologize for only going public with my relationship with Mr. Zhou now after all this time."

"I love Zhou very much. He\'s the love of my life. We circled around each other for years. I always hoped desperately to gain his commitment."

"I\'m very grateful for Rong Dai\'s help here. It was at my request that she went to the hospital on my behalf to see Zhou, and at my request that she posted our conversation online."

"Because apart from that, I had no way to get a response from Zhou."

"Fortunately this time, he didn\'t avoid me."

Qiao Wanzhou spoke with utmost sincerity, hints of years of bitter longing evident in her voice. Her eyes started welling up with tears.

She then took out her phone and played an audio recording - of her conversation with Rong Dai.

Rong Dai was surprised Qiao Wanzhou had kept such a card up her sleeve, but not unexpected. After all, with Qiao Wanzhou’s many years of experience navigating the entertainment industry, she surely understood such maneuvers.

But Rong Dai felt sorry for her. Because in doing this, Qiao Wanzhou wasn’t targeting enemies, but her own family.

Rong Dai guessed that when asking for her help, Qiao Wanzhou had already envisioned how things would unfold.

"I recorded this secretly because I knew many people were unkind towards Rong Dai."

"This time the outcome was obvious. But Rong Dai is my confidante. I trust her and will stand up for her."

"If any of you doubt this, I have backup copies of the original recording here. Please come forward after the press conference to collect a copy for verification."

Qiao Wanzhou spoke adamantly, staring straight into the camera lens.

"To those who maligned Rong Dai because of this incident - if any of you are my fans, I appreciate your support."

"But I cannot accept affection demonstrated in such a way. Please find another object of affection. Thank you."

Upon hearing Qiao Wanzhou’s words, some reporters had ugly expressions.

Rong Dai secretly opened Weibo on her phone, which was muted, but message after message flowed in - all from netizens coming to apologize to her.

She was surprised by Qiao Wanzhou’s words but the harm from these netizens had already been done.

She was broad-minded and strong enough to not bother keeping count of grievances with them.

But that didn’t mean she would choose to accept them either.

So she didn’t reply to any of the messages or post anything on Weibo.

Next was Zhou Jing’s turn after Qiao Wanzhou finished speaking. Seeing her done, Zhou Jing immediately gestured for his agent to bring over a stool for her to sit on.

"Firstly, thank you all for coming."

"Qiao and I were classmates. I admired her since university but I always felt inferior because of the gulf between our backgrounds - don\'t laugh at me for this!"

"Qiao is outstanding. Although I’ve achieved some success, I still lack confidence next to her."

"I\'m honored to receive her deep affection. I, Zhou Jing, will love her for life, protecting her, cherishing her, striving to be the best guardian and husband by her side."

It was rare to see Zhou Jing speak so seriously and directly to reporters.

As he spoke, he held Qiao Wanzhou\'s hand tightly. She responded with eyes full of sweetness for him.

Seeing this, Rong Dai felt her teeth clench in bitterness.

This pair was showing affection a bit excessively!
