Chapter 446: 286 Press Conference Confrontation, Xie Family Aunt is Not to be Messed With (3rd Update)_2”Nothing to fear, at the end of the day, we’re here for you,” Du Jinglan also cheered her on.

”Grandpa was so full of righteous indignation at home, but when it really mattered, he didn’t show up...” Xie Tongtong pouted angrily, ”I wonder how things are at Second Grandpa’s...”

...

At this moment, the manager of the Xie Group’s public relations department knocked on the door and entered the resting room, ”It’s about time to go on stage.”

”Are all the surrounding security measures in place? There can’t be any mishaps,” Xie Yongqi asked once again.

”Rest assured, it’s all been arranged.”

”Little aunt, let’s go out then,” Xie Duo said, pushing his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.

Shen Zhixian nodded. Although she had mentally prepared herself, facing so many cameras was still nerve-wracking, and her palms were already sweating.

Outside, the reporters had been waiting impatiently. The moment Shen Zhixian stepped out, every camera turned her way.

This was Shen Zhixian’s first public appearance since being acknowledged by the Xie Family, but unexpectedly, it was in such a manner.

Today, she wore a simple lotus-white suit, her long hair pinned up, and her neck’s curve was gracefully defined. The aura of a mother was apparent; there was a different quality to her.

Fresh and stunning, even in her simple attire, she exuded an alluring charm.

”Little aunt,” Xie Duo, ever the gentleman, held her arm as she stepped up in her high heels.

”Thank you.”

Intellectual and elegant, mature and glamorous, she sat in Taishan City with dignity and poise. She radiated a scholarly air, her delicate brows and eyes soft and affectionate.

She hardly looked like the heartless ingrate her foster father had described.

Xie Duo wore frameless glasses and a neatly pressed suit—not particularly dashing, but like frost-laden white plum blossoms, with an exceptional character.

Journalists had to marvel—this Xie Family’s temperament...

Truly beyond reproach.

”This aunt of the Xie Family appears to be a delicate and fragile beauty; she doesn’t seem like an ingrate at all.”

”You can know a person’s face, but who truly knows them?”

”The looks of the Xie Family may not be outstanding, but the bearing taught by a great family is impeccable. Just look at their posture and demeanor.”

...

Xie Duo then asked Shen Zhixian in a low voice, ”Little aunt, are you ready?”

Only after getting an affirmative answer did he clear his throat and test the microphone, ”We welcome the arrival of all the journalists. Today’s press conference is primarily to address some of the false statements that have recently appeared online and to provide clarification.”

”Recently, there have been numerous false reports about my little aunt on the internet. The Xie Family is currently gathering evidence, and we will soon instruct our lawyers to initiate a lawsuit.”

”As for Mr. Zhong’s accusations online, they are utterly baseless.”

...

After Xie Duo briefly finished speaking, he left time for journalists to ask questions, but it was also stated in advance that Shen Zhixian would only answer five of them.

Reporter 1: ”Miss Shen, there are rumors online that you have an illegitimate daughter. Is this true?”

Shen Zhixian had never experienced such an occasion before, in the dim lighting of Qi Group’s underground garage, where the crowd of journalists was chaotic.

Now, everyone was armed with notebooks and cameras, fully prepared, and the atmosphere was completely different.

She took a deep breath to steady herself, ”It’s true, but I need to correct you—she is my daughter, not some ’illegitimate’ daughter, and this is my personal matter.”

Reporter 2: ”Mr. Zhong accused you in a live broadcast of being supported by him for food and even studying abroad, yet after that, there was no further contact between you two. Is this true? Why?”

Shen Zhixian smirked, ”He supported me for food and studying? He’s really flattering himself. But it’s true that after going abroad, there was no further contact. As for why, that’s a separate question.”

Reporters exchanged glances, not expecting the Xie Family’s little aunt to be so clever.

Their questions had been bundled together, and indeed each contained more than one inquiry. It seemed that they would need to be more cautious with their subsequent questions since opportunities were limited.
