"That's great!"
Shao Lin said joyfully, "As long as Su Ding is driven away, we can live a good life." xxs Yi
Zhao Qin nodded and said, "When she leaves, you'll come home with Auntie to live, Linlin. I'm sorry you've had to endure this time."
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not enduring anything," Shao
Lin said.
He Qing watched the harmonious interaction between the two women and sneered inwardly.
The real show was yet to come.
The morning after next, Jin Xiaoxi was picked up by the Jin family driver and taken to the old mansion. Jin Ling had also mentioned in advance that he would be away on a business trip and was not at home.
Su Ding took Wang Siwei and Su Xiaorui to kindergarten.
On her way back, she passed by the villa area and noticed that there were many more people than usual today. Some were looking around curiously, while others were staring directly at her, as if trying to identify something.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Su Ding is inside!"
Instantly, countless reporters appeared from nowhere, surrounding her car. The scene startled Su Ding.
She quickly honked her horn, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away!
"Quick, chase! Chase!"
Su Ding drove forward with difficulty, many people filming from all directions.
Fortunately, she was only about two hundred meters from home and soon reached the entrance of her own villa. However, the scene before her made her eyes widen.
The people following her car were only a small group.
The reporters staked out at the entrance swarmed forward like zombies, their cameras and phones almost shoved into Su Ding's face.
Su Ding could no longer drive. People were everywhere in front of and behind her car.
At this moment, she felt immense anger. Who had exposed her location? Who had notified so many reporters? Even media outlets from other provinces and cities were here, indicating a pre-planned operation.
It was fortunate that she had sent the children to school today; otherwise, scaring them would have made things even more difficult to handle.
It seemed the other party was well-prepared this time.
Su Ding sat in the car, looking at the frenzied faces of the reporters pressed against her car window, and the incessant questions and interviews, which made her feel numb.
"Miss Su Ding, are you currently living with Mr. Jin Ye?"
"Miss Su Ding, are you divorced?"
"Miss Su Ding, what are your thoughts on the private video of your wedding last year being leaked?"
"Miss Su Ding, have you participated in director Wilson's film?"
"Miss Su Ding, your..."
...
The chaotic noise buzzed in her ears, and the occasional flash of light blinded her eyes.
Su Ding took a deep breath and then spoke, "Could you let me get out first?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd backed away slightly but still maintained a surrounding formation, tightly enclosing Su Ding and the car.
"I won't run. Spread out a little more."
Su Ding felt a little dizzy, the air was stuffy with so many people. With some patience, she finished speaking and opened the car door.
As soon as she stood firm, the reporters crowded around again.
In the crush, they almost pushed her down, and those behind tried to get even closer.
"Everyone, since you're all here, I can't escape. Ask your questions one by one, and please stop pushing."
Su Ding was squeezed against the car body, unable to move forward at all.
She was trapped here and didn't know what to do, only hoping that Xiao Yuan would come quickly to rescue her.
"If you continue to crowd like this, I won't answer any questions. I'm calling the police now, so you decide."
The reporters at the front exchanged glances and began shouting to those behind, "Everyone, don't push anymore. Let Miss Su Ding go home and answer everyone's questions one by one—"
Some behind were reluctant but, thinking of the once-in-a-lifetime headline, slowly moved their feet.
Gradually, the circle of reporters expanded.
Su Ding gained some breathing space and quickly walked towards the villa.
Upon entering the villa, several worried servants gathered around her. "Madam, what should we do?"
"It's fine. Prepare some tea and take out some stools."
Su Ding wiped the sweat from her face, exhaled, and gestured for the reporters to sit in the garden outside.
Soon, the reporters began asking questions impatiently.
"Miss Su Ding, is this the house you live in with Mr. Jin Ye?"
Rustle!
A group of reporters madly photographed the villa before them.
"That's right," Su Ding nodded.
The reporters' eyes lit up, and they excitedly asked, "So you haven't divorced?"
"Yes, we are legally married," Su Ding replied.
Another reporter quickly chimed in, "Then, regarding your private video from last year's wedding that was leaked, and your affair with a man, what do you have to say?"
"I was deliberately framed."
"Who?" the reporter pressed.
"Will you help me catch her and send her to the police station? If you will, then I'll tell you," Su Ding countered.
The reporter gave a sheepish smile.
"What does Mr. Jin Ye think about this? Does he believe you were framed?"
"You'll have to ask him," Su Ding said.
"Mr. Jin Ye didn't choose to divorce, so he must believe you. May I ask what methods you used to make him believe you?" the reporter asked gossipy.
"May I ask what methods you use to make your wife trust you?" Su Ding smiled faintly and asked in return.
The reporter scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
"I heard you were separated for a while, is that true?"
"It's inevitable for couples to have friction, isn't it normal?" Su Ding retorted.
"Uh, but generally, scandals like yours are unacceptable to most men."
"That's why he's not an ordinary man," Su Ding said slowly.
The reporters asked a string of disorganized questions. Su Ding answered each one calmly and composedly, without revealing any particularly sensational news.
In fact, the more they asked, the more they felt it was a marital matter with nothing substantial to dig up.
At this moment, a young reporter, unwilling to give up, asked, "Then please, Miss Su Ding, you claim to be legally married to Mr. Jin Ye and not in a sugar daddy relationship. What proof do you have?"
"Yes, yes, are you really legally married?"
"She's definitely fooling us! How could he marry her after such a scandal!"
The servants nearby couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to each other, "Why are these reporters investigating even this? Are they police officers?"
Some reporters overheard this and felt embarrassed.
This scene was also being live-streamed to the internet by many people present.
At this moment, the comments were flying.
"Exactly, it's definitely fake!"
"This woman is the biggest liar! She thinks she can fool us with random talk?"
"Netizens above, don't be too outrageous. Do you live by the sea to mind everyone's business!"
...
Meanwhile, Xie Shanshan and Liang Tian, who were live-streaming their clothing sales, learned from their fans' chat in the live stream that Su Ding was currently being interviewed by reporters at home.
Xie Shanshan, while trying on clothes, saw this and was furious.
She said to her fans while trying on clothes:
"Dear fans, I see you discussing Su Ding's interview. Su Ding and I are childhood best friends. Please don't believe the rumors online; she is truly a very kind person."
"It's simply that popularity brings gossip, and someone is deliberately creating hype."
"I'm not trying to piggyback on the heat; I want to clear her name!"
When she saw someone scolding her, Xie Shanshan patiently explained:
"You don't have to buy my clothes, but you can't just follow the crowd and scold Su Ding in my livestream. She is my best friend."
"I swear on my reputation and with these fans that she is not the kind of person you think she is!"
Despite this, the fans remained somewhat skeptical.
Liang Tian, who was in charge of operations, had forgotten her work and her face had turned extremely pale.
Other staff reminded her to switch links, but she didn't hear them.
"Sister Liang Tian, Sister Liang Tian..."
Liang Tian finally snapped out of her daze.
