Chapter 182

"They're here! They're here!" Accompanied by the excited shouts of a reporter, all the microphones and long guns and short cannons squeezed toward the press platform like crazy, leaving a wall of backs for He Lele.

"Please, reporter friends, don't be impatient! Please return to your seats and sit down, please—"

"Vivian, it is said that you were arrested for drug use in a group three days ago. Is it true?" A reporter asked first before the host could finish speaking.

"I didn't!" A female voice with a heavy crying tone.

He Lele looked at Seeing Mu Wei beside her, not understanding why Seeing Mu Wei brought her here.

"Then is the video circulating on the internet really you?"

"It's not me! I was framed! How could I do such a thing?"

"Vivian, it is said that you have been taking drugs for several years—"

"Quiet, quiet!" A somewhat old but still steady and powerful voice came from the crowd. "We invited everyone here today to clarify the rumors of the past few days. Please give us some time and let Vivian explain things herself. Thank you all."

The old man speaking seemed very dignified, because as soon as he spoke, the reporters indeed quieted down temporarily. Although there were still some low discussions, it was finally not as chaotic as before.

"Vivian, explain it clearly to everyone."

"Mm. Hello everyone, I am Vivian," Xiao Sha's tone was full of grievance. "Those who know me know that I have had a strict upbringing since I was a child, usually—"

"Get to the point!" A reporter in the corner shouted.

"Heh..." Seeing Mu Wei chuckled. He Lele looked at the gloating Seeing Mu Wei speechlessly.

Xiao Sha's voice sounded again after a long while, as if suppressing something. "I know everyone has been influenced by rumors and has misunderstandings about Vivian. Vivian doesn't blame everyone, because Vivian didn't expect to be framed by her own cousin."

Wow—this bomb was thrown out, and the reporter group finally had some reaction.

"Vivian, who is your cousin? It seems we have never heard you mention it before!"

"My cousin, many friends have also seen her; she is my assistant, Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan... He Lele's mind quickly flashed the short-haired, sharp-chinned girl who always had a proud look on her face.

"Ah... I know! That woman is also in those videos—cough cough..." A reporter braked quickly.

"Although family shame should not be spread, Vivian can only tell everyone about the family shame today! Although Xiao Yan is my cousin, because my uncle has poor conduct, our two families stopped associating long ago. But a few months ago, Xiao Yan suddenly came to me, crying and begging me to help her introduce a job, saying she had been kicked out by her family. I saw she was pitiful, so I let her be my assistant temporarily, but it turned out... she had a drug addiction long ago!"

"Oh..." Reporters are all masters of association. Once Xiao Sha laid out Xiao Yan's background, they roughly guessed what was going on! And Xiao Sha's subsequent explanation also confirmed their guess.

"Xiao Yan approached me just to find an opportunity to blackmail me. Those videos were also deliberately stolen and edited together with some indecent videos to confuse the public and blackmail me! Those videos are all fake. Of course, I didn't accept it and reported it to the police at the same time! So Xiao Yan was arrested for drug possession three days ago! Originally, her arrest was deserved, but her friends were unwilling and deliberately released fake news and that edited video to frame me!" As she spoke, Xiao Sha cried out in pain. The sorrowful crying made all the male reporters feel heartache, thinking that they might have really wronged this young and beautiful movie queen before.

Seeing Mu Wei nodded. "Deserves to be a movie queen."

"She... should be lying."

Seeing Mu Wei turned his head unexpectedly to look at He Lele. "How do you know?"

"... Because I know the feeling of being maliciously framed, and she..." He Lele looked in the direction of the crowd. "Let's go."

"Wait a little longer." Seeing Mu Wei patted He Lele's hand, feeling a bit of pain in his heart. "Your feeling is right. Although her drug use was indeed influenced by Xiao Yan, the group drug use and orgies were all her own initiative. Just because Xiao Yan was arrested and unable to refute, she threw everything onto Xiao Yan, and she threw it so cleanly and naturally. Heh... it should be the rhetoric her father thought of."

"... Whoever controls the discourse controls the 'truth'." He Lele's tone was very calm, without any cynicism, and her soft, beautiful face showed a kind of open-mindedness that understood the ways of the world.

"Yes, but many times, truth and such are not important." Seeing Mu Wei said with hidden meaning.

"During this time, Vivian has endured great pressure and grievances. Holding this press conference is also to hope that the public can understand the truth and not be deceived by bad people—"

"You're lying!" A huge roar suddenly rang out in the reporter group! "You bitch! I told you to slander my daughter!"

"Ah ah ah ah—"

"Ah! Sulfuric acid!" "My God! Her face!" "Police! Call the police quickly!" "Call an ambulance quickly!"

"Xiao Yong! You! Catch him! Catch him quickly! Sha Sha! Sha Sha!"

"Dad! Dad!"

In the midst of the chaos, Seeing Mu Wei took He Lele and got up to leave. Before leaving, He Lele looked back at the press platform, but Seeing Mu Wei reached out and covered her eyes.

"Let's go."

He Lele couldn't stop her whole body from turning cold. She didn't dare to ask—whether all of this was him...
