However, on second thought, she remembered that he wouldn’t even help her with such a small favor. In any case, he was already in a difficult position. In the end, he was the one who would lose it all. What was there for her to lose now?

She immediately said, “Lu Bei, we used to be in a relationship. Even if you don’t love me, you can’t ignore this child. I looked for you a few times before, but you ignored me and insisted that I use this method to seek justice. I was forced to do so. The child is innocent. No matter what, you have to give me an explanation, right?”

She spoke with tears in her eyes. She looked weak and pitiful, so she attracted a lot of sympathy.

“So how old is the child in your stomach? Have you done a paternity test?” Lu Bei asked directly.

Wang Jiarou was stunned for a moment before saying, “It’s been more than two months. You haven’t agreed to do a paternity test, so how can we do it?”

Lu Bei nodded gently and said, “More than two months, huh? In that case, our relationship took place more than two months ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to be pregnant with this child, right?”

Wang Jiarou nodded with difficulty, feeling a little flustered.

Lu Bei curled his lips, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. It made one lose focus.

He said, “Then explain how you were abroad more than two months ago and the fact that you only returned to the country two weeks ago.”

Wang Jiarou grabbed her palm and calmed herself down. She said, “Because you came overseas to look for me. Have you forgotten that you bought a plane ticket to the United States more than two months ago? We met there…”

She said this because she had found out that Lu Bei really did buy a plane ticket to the States. In order to help maintain the lie, she had to do something.

This was something anyone could find out. However, it was not convenient for anyone to check Lu Bei’s itinerary in the United States. It was still up to her to cook up something.

The reporters understood and wanted to see what Lu Bei would say.

“Well, I’m sorry. I did buy a ticket for that flight, but I didn’t get on the plane at all.” Lu Bei smiled faintly. “You can directly verify this with the airline. In fact, if it’s not convenient for you to verify it now, I can show everyone the surveillance cameras on the plane at that time. My seat is empty!”

After saying that, the big screen behind him lit up. The surveillance footage from the plane at that time could be seen clearly. There was indeed no sign of Lu Bei. Moreover, looking at the time and aircraft model, it was indeed the plane that Wang Jiarou had mentioned.

“What…” The reporters immediately understood. One was overseas, while the other was in the country. How were they in a relationship? Where did the pregnancy come from?

Wang Jiarou’s face turned red. She was a silly girl to begin with and thought that her little tricks would be able to fool everyone. She did not expect Lu Bei to expose her so easily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Yang immediately said, “Lu Bei, Wang Jiarou might have remembered wrongly. Your team is too powerful and must have long destroyed some of the evidence, but this doesn’t mean that you and Wang Jiarou are unrelated!”

Compared to a silly girl like Wang Jiarou, Lu Bei hated Zhang Yang more. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “So, what else do you want to say? Are you trying to say that even if there’s no evidence, you’re going to insist on slandering me? Are you trying to say that no matter what happens, as long as the other party is a weak woman with a child in her stomach, she can slander me at will?

“Firstly, you can’t produce any strong evidence to prove that I used to be in a relationship with Wang Jiarou. Secondly, you can’t provide a paternity test to confirm the pregnancy either. Are you going to accuse me just based on the theory that the strong are guilty?”

Lu Bei’s words were so satisfying to hear that the reporters could not help but nod.

Zhang Yang’s expression changed slightly. Then, he said, “Lu Bei, yes, it’s true that I can’t produce a paternity certificate now, and I don’t have any other evidence. But all of this is because your company wants to protect you and can’t bear to give you up. This doesn’t mean that you didn’t cheat on Wang Jiarou! Otherwise, why would Wang Jiarou pester you? Otherwise, how could anyone take photos of you and Su Bei entering and leaving the same hotel room?”

Zhang Yang’s words were a little annoying to hear, but his logic sounded so reasonable that it was difficult to refute.

Zhang Yang’s words were really a little clingy, but this logic sounded so reasonable that it was difficult to refute.

Seeing that everyone was convinced, Zhang Yang continued, “If you’re really innocent, then why did you meet Wang Jiarou in private a few times? Why didn’t you come forward to explain yourself in the beginning? Why did you get involved with so many other women? We may be insignificant, but we also have our own stands and opinions! Lu Bei, if you don’t give the public an explanation, this matter will never pass!”

His words were powerful and resonating. He was simply the representative of justice. He wanted to give Lu Bei a one-time trial today.

Lu Bei pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “Since a certain someone doesn’t even care about their dignity, then… Since you have a video, how can I not have one too?”

Wang Jiarou’s expression changed.

“Sister Qiao Mei, play the video. I’ll collect the videos that show my two meetings with Wang Jiarou. I’ll let everyone have a good look!”

Wang Jiarou did not expect that Lu Bei would’ve recorded a video. When she went to see him twice, Lu Bei’s hands were empty and he looked unprepared. This was also why she dared to follow Zhang Yang’s arrangements and insisted that the child in her stomach was Lu Bei’s.

The people from the outside world only saw her meeting Lu Bei and begging him with tears in her eyes. However, the audio wasn’t recorded, so they didn’t know the truth. Of course, they only thought that her relationship with Lu Bei was unclear.

However, she did not expect that Lu Bei had already recorded their two meetings.

Qiao Mei quickly clicked to release the video.

The two meetings that were recorded from beginning to end appeared in front of everyone. The conversation between the two of them was also very clear:

“Mr. Lu, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t come back to snatch Mr. Lu from you.”

“Well, you can’t snatch him from me either. Don’t make it sound like you gave him to me. The words you said today are very likely to cause a misunderstanding, but you even told me not to misunderstand. Just get straight to the point. There’s no need to beat about the bush.”

“I came back this time because my family’s business is in a crisis and we need investments to get through it. My father is the one who’s been managing our family’s business since he founded the company. Now that the company is in trouble and is about to go bankrupt, I don’t want to watch my father’s business collapse. Therefore, I had no choice but to come and ask Mr. Lu to help me on account of our past relationship. Mr. Lu, don’t worry. My return has nothing to do with my feelings. It’s just because of my career.”
