Chapter 261 - Shallow!
The venue for the press conference had already been full, thirty minutes before the scheduled time.
From reporters to Jiang Mian's fans, everyone was waiting for a great show.
When Jiang Mian and the impostor Jiang Yue arrived, everyone couldn't help but cheer silently. They couldn't wait to know what would happen after this. Would Fu Jin issue another statement? Would he forgive Jiang Yue? How about their engagement?
According to some rumors, floating around just this morning, the board of directors had forcefully kicked Jiang Yue out of her own company because of her actions. Because of this, everyone was anticipating 'Jiang Yue's' response. Would she create another drama? Would she threaten to kill herself again?
Everyone was clearly waiting for some drama and entertainment.
"Everyone, thank you so much for coming. As you all know, I and my sister Jiang Yue are here to beg for Young Master Fu Jin's forgiveness." Jiang Mian started before wiping a non-existent tear from her eyes.. "Young master Fu... my sister is... we have just discovered that she is pregnant with your child, and I beg you to forgive her." This time Jiang Mian got up from her seat and made a low bow towards the camera. She wanted everyone to see how apologetic she was.
Beside her, Wu Minxia or 'Jiang Yue' had already been crying her heart out. She took her big shades off to show her swollen eyes to everyone before saying, "Fu Jin... I have made a mistake. But this child is yours and... and I cannot... You cannot just abandon us like this." she sobbed, as Jiang Mian slowly patted her back.
"My sister's pregnancy is currently in a critical state... Fu Jin for the sake of the baby, please forgive her." Jiang Mian said, her expression grave. "My sister is just a human. Why can't you forgive someone so vulnerable like her?"
"Miss Mian..." a stern voice interrupted, attracting everyone's attention. It was a woman, who looked like in her early twenties, with short, pixie hair. When people saw her wearing an identification card for one of the most prominent evening news, they immediately turned their attention back to Jiang Mian, while waiting for the woman to ask her questions.
"You said that Miss Jiang Yue is pregnant, can you give us a proof?" she asked, earning some nods from everyone. That's right, they had just proclaimed that Jiang Yue was pregnant and cried without any proof.
"You are right... My apologies for not giving everyone the proof first." Jiang Mian gestured her manager to give some documents to the reporters. "Don't worry I will personally send everyone a copy of this document, as well as the other evidence that we have."
The girl with the pixie hair nodded. "How about CEO Fu's claim that the one in the video is not Jiang Yue? What can you say about that?"
"It was me! I have already acknowledged that fact! It was me, and no one other than me should be blamed for my actions." this time it was Wu Minxia who answered, almost shouting to the woman.
"But CEO Fu clearly said that Miss Jiang Yue is right-handed. You are clearly left handed. What can you say about this?" again the woman's question earned some nods. The woman was just focusing on CEO Fu's words. There was nothing wrong with asking Jiang Mian and Jiang Yue about it.
However, Jiang Mian and Wu Minxia were already boiling inside because of the woman's question."As I said, the one in the video is me." Wu Minxia said. "It is me and I admit my mistakes."
"You misunderstood my question, Miss..."
"I said it was ME! ME! ME!" Wu Minxia bellowed, unable to control her emotions. "Are you trying to stress me out so you can kill my child? Did Fu Jin send you? Is he that ruthless to even kill his own child?"
"Calm down... shhhh... calm down." Jiang Mian immediately comforted her 'sister' before looking at the woman. "If CEO Fu thinks that the woman in the video is not my sister, then I cannot really say anything that will change his mind. However, the truth will always prevail. He cannot deny that the child inside my sister is his, and he should take responsibility for the child."
"Fu Jin... if you... if you can't really forgive me then... just take my child... or I will" 'Jiang Yue' pleaded. "My sister... I... I asked her to take my child after I gave birth and me... I... If you still want your child, then you need to marry my sister!" her words instantly made Jiang Mian widen her eyes in shock.
"No... you cannot do this. How can Young Master Fu marry me?" she asked as she lowered her head.
"Is that so?" came a cold and domineering voice from the group of cameramen on the other side of Jiang Mian.
Everyone widened their eyes, as they stared at the woman with exact features as the one on the stage. That woman was none other than Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue smirked at the duo in front of her. "I have always wondered, why someone so dumb is pretending to be me, so this is your goal? To become a substitute. What were you going to say, that you will be the compensation for my supposed mistakes? So you can marry my man?"
"Shallow!" she said as she approached Jiang Mian and the impostor Wu Minxia, uniformed men in black surrounded her, protecting her from everyone's prying eyes.
