"Back then, I got pregnant with Sheng Sheng due to an accident. I was in my senior year of college, doing an internship, and had already finished most of my courses."
"Neither Sheng Sheng's father nor I had planned to get married so early. After discovering I was pregnant, I considered having an abortion."
As she spoke, Jian Junruo's voice carried a hint of guilt, but more so, a gentle tenderness.
"However, when I arrived at the hospital, I hesitated."
"This was a life bestowed upon me by heaven. I couldn't, out of my own selfishness, extinguish its chance to come into this world."
"So, I secretly went to Jiangcheng and gave birth to the child there."
"After resigning from my internship company, I joined an online graphic design studio and took on jobs to support myself."
"The school's internship requirements did not specify the internship company or location, so I obtained an internship certificate from the studio."
"In my senior year, the school's regulations were very relaxed. If you had your own job, you barely needed to attend classes."
"You only needed to submit your thesis according to your advisor's requirements and return to school for the defense at the end."
"Anyone who has attended university knows this. Therefore, the rumors online about me dropping out due to pregnancy are pure fiction."
"As for being unmarried and having a child..."
"Firstly, it is not illegal, although it is not protected by law."
"Of course, I do not encourage everyone to follow my example; being unmarried and having a child ultimately does not comply with the birth law."
"Secondly, I have processed Sheng Sheng's household registration in accordance with relevant regulations and paid the social support fee."
"May I ask if there are any other questions?"
The last sentence was clearly not directed at Jian Sheng.
In fact, everything she said was a guess about the situation, spoken for the media to hear.
They still wanted to press further, especially those who had been paid.
They had been smearing her name so effectively, but now it hadn't only failed to achieve its purpose, it seemed like they had been given a chance to clarify. What was going on?
However, at this moment, Jian Xiuhuan, with extreme speed, picked up Jian Sheng.
"You have asked what you needed to ask, and we have answered each question. We will not be keeping you for dinner."
"Brother Wang, please escort our guests out."
After speaking, regardless of the reporters' calls, Jian Xiuhuan did not hesitate.
As he turned back, Jian Xiuhuan's eyes were filled with coldness.
Everything that needed to be answered had been answered, and everything that needed to be clarified had been clarified.
Next, it was time to settle the score.
As he walked out of the venue, Jian Xiuhuan asked with a complex expression,
"You tried to call your mother earlier, but she didn't answer. When the reporters were pressuring you, why didn't you explain?"
He didn't believe that with Sheng Sheng's intelligence, she wouldn't know why her mother's phone was off.
Jian Sheng replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't Uncle Wang say that if the reporters knew about this matter, it would be bad for your future development?"
Jian Xiuhuan clenched his fists.
Because she didn't want him to be affected, she was willing to endure the hardship herself?
Even though he already had a guess, having his guess confirmed still sent a ripple through his heart.
Why did their Sheng Sheng have to be so sensible?
Jian Xiuhuan crouched down and looked intently at Jian Sheng,
"Sheng Sheng, promise your cousin, don't always think about others. Your own happiness is the most important thing, understand?"
Jian Sheng tilted her head, "But Sheng Sheng is very happy right now~"

The video of the press conference was quickly posted online.
Photos and press releases flowed from the reporters present.
With so many people invited and all information made public.
Although many marketing accounts still wrote articles with strong personal opinions.
However, with so many reporters present, and several highly influential media outlets invited by the manager.
Once the live video was released and Jian Junruo's explanation was broadcast.
The truth was, in essence, understood by everyone.
No matter how these marketing accounts twisted the facts, they couldn't gain much traction.
As the content of the press conference continued to ferment, the internet exploded.
Starting from a cute baby video, the situation had repeatedly reversed, constantly altering people's preconceptions.
These past two days, netizens had been indulging in gossip to their heart's content.
However, this press conference still shocked many people's perspectives.
Especially when they saw reporters being aggressive, using underhanded tactics like coaxing, intimidation, and threats to pressure a young girl.
Many people were so angry they wanted to rush into the video and stuff the microphones into the mouths of these unscrupulous and inhumane reporters.
—I feel like I can no longer believe today's media and marketing accounts. It's really hard to know which sentence is true.
—I'm impressed. It's just being unmarried and pregnant, right? Who hasn't had a moment of carelessness that led to a slip-up?
—To be fair, being unmarried and pregnant, while not illegal, should not be encouraged.
—Who is encouraging it? Sheng Bao's mother even said she doesn't recommend others follow her example.
—This can at most be considered a personal moral issue, right? It's not even a legal issue.
—It's not like they did anything morally bankrupt, why push someone to this extent?
—To hell with the reversals! No matter how many reversals you have, adults might have issues, but regardless, the child is innocent!
—Yeah, look how scared Sheng Bao is!
—Wuwuwu, Sheng Bao is so warm and strong. Are these reporters even human? How could they bear to do this!
—Sheng Bao, don't cry, Mom is heartbroken.
There was still a lot of debate online, with some believing and some not.
There were also many conspiracy theories, suggesting that all of this was just marketing by Xiuhuan.
However, the vast majority agreed on one point.
That is, no matter what, the child is innocent.
Regardless of whether Xiuhuan and Jian Junruo had issues, Sheng Sheng, the child caught in the middle, should not be implicated.
Just as the gossipers thought the matter was over.
Jian Xiuhuan posted several updates on Weibo.
The first one.
A nine-picture grid of photos of Jian Sheng taken from various angles.
Caption: All is well.
The second one.
A photo of an ID card.
The birth date, ID number, and address were blurred out.
However, the name displayed was "Jian Xiuhuan."
Caption: My surname is Jian, thank you.
The third one.
Still a nine-picture grid, still photos, but this time showing thick stacks of paper.
When someone managed to discern the text on one of the pictures, they were stunned.
One of the papers displayed the words "Case Filing Receipt"!
Caption: According to our country's law, if the actual number of clicks and views on the same defamatory information reaches more than five thousand, or the number of forwards reaches more than five hundred, it constitutes defamation.
Currently, evidence has been collected and submitted to the public security department and the court for all media and marketing accounts that have defamed me and my family online.
After posting the three updates, Xiuhuan's account fell silent again.
However, his disappearance signified the brewing of another storm online.
