500 Sky's anniversary arc (5)
Jun icily added. “It will be a double price from my side. What is the basis of these claims anyway? President Chen is not stupid to steal somebody’s work from his own company. Are you even making any sense?”
The last question was put forth with such deep hostility that everybody could clearly feel the bloodlust.
Some more pictures as evidence furiously rushed in which showed how intimate Yunru and acted with each other.
“Mr. Liu…From these pictures, doesn’t it seem very clear that President Chen and Miss. Shi are together as a couple?” One reporter pointed out. He was shivering with fear but he relentlessly chased after the truth.
Yunru froze and so did Huan.
“Yes, it’s clear that they have feelings for each other.”
“They are acting so lovey-dovey!”
“Heh look how he is following her like a puppy.”
Yunru stared at all the pictures in a daze. The locations in all these pictures and everything in them was true, including his blushing face when he stood closer to Huan.
He knew that very well because he had realized it himself that he liked Huan. He could even tell how hard his heart must be pounding that day when this picture was taken.
But…this wasn’t how Yunru wanted Huan to know about his feelings.
With that being out, the atmosphere took another sharp drop with not only Jun but the rest of Liu family and everybody else’s gazes glinting with frostiness.
The reporters and the few other guests almost pissed their pants with so many cold gazes directed.
Jun, Zixin, Jian, Nian, Siying, Jin, Jinhai, Liu Hai and everybody looked like lions setting out to devour them and the reporters couldn’t understand why.
W-what happened? Why are they suddenly all looking like that…
p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 Jun grabbed the reporter by his collar and his dark brown eyes alone were enough to make his knees melt.
“Mr. Liu! What are you doing? You cannot be violent against-“
“Violent? This is not even close to what I can really do,” Jun said in an extremely low voice that rang of evilness in the air. “I will catch that bastard who is putting all this evidence for sure but you all…won’t go unscathed. My brother loves a woman. He is shy and a little awkward around her. He is doing his best to make her like him back. He keeps thinking about her for the whole day. His heart must be beating so fast when he meets her. He must be thinking about a lot of things, right? One of them is his feelings for her.”
He took an agonizing pause and continued. “Do you think this was the way he wanted Shi Huan to know about his feelings? Do you think Yunru wanted the likes of you judging their relationship as if it was some dirty affair going on between them? You…what do you think somebody’s love is!?”
He sneered. “Truth? Would you say that you want to bring out the truth or just make fun of somebody’s feelings!?”
Yunru was trembling hard. It was still fine till he was accused of stealing story, but he was completely unprepared for Huan to learn his feelings. At this moment, he didn’t even dare to meet her eyes.
“Mr. Liu,” the reporter gasped. “We-we…we are not judging their relationship. But if President Chen has feelings for Miss. Shi, doesn’t it mean that he showed b-bias…towards the woman he loves?”
One of the other reporters chimed in. “Miss. Shi. Isn’t it true that you were facing hurdles in coming up with your new novel?”
Huan stiffened. Her head was a mess with so many things happening all at once. She saw Yunru’s shoulders quivering and the panic in his eyes and she desperately wanted to do something for him, but she was in the line of attack as well.
“…Y-Yes it’s true.”
“It’s also true that President Chen offered to help you, right?”
It was true but Huan didn’t agree with the tone of the question that was asked. “Indeed but it wasn’t by stealing someone’s story…!” Her chest heaved with slight breathlessness.
“But Miss. Cui Fen admitted that it was her story indeed.”
Ai looked at a trembling Cui Fen and gently asked, “Cui Fen. I am sure there must have been some misunderstanding. Please tell us what exactly happened.”
Cui Fen gulped and faced her. “Se-senior Zhou, i-it’s really my story. I…I had also written a few chapters of it,” she wiped her cheek, trying to contain her courage. “B-But…”
“But?”
“But I took it to Miss. Sun a-and she showed it to President Chen but she said he rejected it.”
The reporters whispered among themselves.
Ai blinked and asked, “Then Miss. Sun knows about it too?”
Xing Bi said, “Since Cui Fen is a newbie, she is initially working under Miss. Sun for a few months to completely learn about Sky and then she was supposed to be transferred under me.”
Jun looked at Sun Bai. “Did Cui Fen submit that story to you?”
Sun Bai quickly said, “No. Miss. Cui, what are you saying? You never submitted any story to me and so I never gave anything to President Chen to check.”
“No…” Cui Fen cried. “Miss. Sun, how can you be lying? You said it yourself that President Chen said I needed to work on it more…”
Yunru took a deep breath and answered. “I never got a draft from Miss. Sun either. What Huan is writing…” he gritted his teeth, “I never read that story being written by any author from Sky!”
“President Chen, you thought that since Cui Fen is a newbie, you can bully her like you want and steal her story for your girlfriend?”
Sun Bai tried to make them understand. “But the drafts shown in these pictures…Cui Fen didn’t submit any story to me like this.”
Cui Fen looked aghast. “B-But I have the story with me. Look.”
She took out her phone, unlocked it and in her documents folder, there was a list of ten to twenty documents all named as chapters. When she opened all of them, they found that the content in those and Shi Huan’s drafts matched exactly.
Yunru’s eyes slowly widened, unable to believe it himself.
“I don’t understand what Miss. Sun is saying. If this isn’t my story, then I-I wouldn’t have it on my phone.”
