Chapter 289: Isn’t This Ridiculous?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At two o’clock in the morning, a large number of media outlets had already gathered in Tianlang’s hall. When the time was up, Wen Lan, along with her manager and assistant, went to the podium.
At this moment, Wen Lan was almost bare-faced. She was wearing a simple white A-line dress and looked a little haggard. She was completely different from the superstar she used to be.
As long as she followed Xiao Huaixing’s arrangements and said that she didn’t know about Xiao Huaixing’s marriage, then she could use the sympathy of her fans to temporarily preserve her position so that she could make a comeback in the future.
However, Wen Lan did not memorize the script.
“Wen Lan, what happened? Speak!” The manager tugged at her arm and reminded her.
Wen Lan lifted her head and looked at the media below. When she heard the familiar shutter sound, she smiled and said, “I should have listened to the company’s arrangements and told everyone that I knew nothing about President Xiao’s marriage. I was just a toy to him from the beginning to the end. However, I really couldn’t bring myself to say it. In fact, I knew about President Xiao’s wife from the beginning.”
“Wen Lan! Do you know what you’re saying?” The manager immediately blocked her microphone and stopped her from speaking.
“We’ve been together for eight years. I’ve been with him since I was a student. So at this juncture, I really can’t leave him alone to face all this. What would our relationship be? I know the Huo family is very powerful, but I don’t want my lover to be snatched away again and again.”

“We do have a very abnormal triangular relationship, but I want to ask Miss Huo. You knew that he had a partner, but you still proposed a marriage alliance with the Xiao family under this premise and threatened Huai Xing to get married, forcing us into a desperate situation. Are you really not guilty?” Wen Lan cried out in grievance as she spoke.
“I can give up everything. I can give up my career in the entertainment industry, but I really don’t want to leave Huai Xing. Isn’t that equivalent to taking my life?”
Initially, the news that the outside world received was that Xiao Huaixing was a womanizer and a complete scumbag. He treated Wen Lan as a pet while marrying another woman.
But now, Wen Lan’s words had pushed the blame onto Huo Yu’an.
It was Huo Yu’an who had taken a fancy to Xiao Huaixing. She had used her identity as a member of the Huo family to force Xiao Huaixing to marry her, and she had also broken up the pair of true lovers.
Isn’t this ridiculous?
It sounded ridiculous, but when it came to the Huo Family, it seemed so reasonable. After all, there were too many dark legends about Huo Jiuxiao, and the stories of the Huo family derived from them were basically all bad things.
“A few years ago, we were already talking about marriage. Huai Xing even proposed, but in the end, my lover became someone else’s husband.”
“I know that smart women should withdraw in time, but I feel wronged and painful. I even have the tendency to suffer from depression because I have to forcefully withdraw. I don’t know what I did wrong to be treated like this. Is it because I’m not the daughter of a wealthy family?”
Although Wen Lan’s acting skills were average, she had a lot of work experience.
Therefore, she could easily act pitiful and cry.
“If it weren’t for Miss Huo’s forceful intervention, our child would have been able to run and jump. Because they were forced to get married, I had no choice but to abort the child in my stomach because I couldn’t give her a tomorrow.”
The manager listened to Wen Lan’s nonsense and looked at the reactions of the media below the stage. He did not seem to be able to say anything to stop him. After all, to the people of Tianlang, what did the Huo family’s daughter have to do with them? Why did they have to cause panic and cause the company to close down because of this daughter?
Upstairs, Xiao Huaixing thought that Wen Lan would listen to his arrangements obediently, so he was at ease with the meeting. When he left the room after the meeting, he found that his assistant had a troubled look on his face.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“President Xiao, you should watch this video first.” The assistant handed the video of Wen Lan’s speech to Xiao Huaixing.
After Xiao Huaixing finished reading, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “The press conference hasn’t ended?” he asked.
“It’s still going on.”
Xiao Huaixing quickened his pace and walked downstairs. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked to Wen Lan’s side. When Wen Lan saw Xiao Huaixing appear, he reached out and hugged her in front of everyone.
The media below the stage took pictures wildly. After all, although the two of them had long been widely rumored in the industry, they had never confirmed their relationship. Now that the two of them had come out to announce their relationship, it would naturally cause a huge uproar because there was an original wife among them.
“Huai Xing, I’ve already made all our grievances public. I believe that the public has eyes and will respect and bless our choice.”
At this moment, Xiao Huaixing was already in a difficult position. Was he supposed to expose Wen Lan’s lie on the spot? If that was the case, the press conference that he had arranged for her would be meaningless.
Since he was going to face a bloody storm, he might as well let the storm come more violently.
Hence, Xiao Huaixing hugged Wen Lan and faced the media. “I made a wrong choice once because I was afraid of implicating the Xiao Family and Tianlang. I don’t want to miss it again. That marriage only brought me pain. I also hope that my ex-wife can pull back from the brink of death and let Tianlang’s innocent employees go.”

Huo Yutan did not expect the two of them to throw dirty water at her.
She thought that Xiao Huaixing did not have the guts to do so, but the truth was, you would never know how low a person’s bottom line was.
Huo Yu’an didn’t want to entertain the adulterous couple, but they still provoked her.
Huo Yu’an had no choice. She had originally returned to Jinzhou, but after seeing the video, she rushed back to Jinchuan and headed straight to Tianlang’s press conference.
The receptionist at the door wanted to stop her, but Huo Yu’an revealed her identity. “I haven’t completed the divorce procedures with Xiao Huaixing. I’m still the lady boss of Tianlang. If you want to lose your job, I can help you right away.”
The receptionist had no choice but to let Huo Yutan in.
However, she had just reached the door when she heard Xiao Huaixing’s shameless words.
So, Huo Yu’an grabbed the reporter’s microphone and asked loudly, “Do you want to listen to what you’re saying?
When everyone’s eyes were focused on Huo Yu’an, she returned the microphone to the reporter. Then, amidst the discussion, she walked up to Xiao Huaixing and Wen Lan and continued, “I forced you to get married? Do you want to examine your honor first, as well as your family background that is not even worth my pocket money?”
The media below the stage immediately became lively because the original wife had directly rushed to the press conference venue.
“Huo Yu’an, are you still going to use your status as a member of the Huo family to humiliate me?” Xiao Huaixing struck first.
“You may not know this, but the Xiao family has an unwritten rule, which is not to marry actors.. Xiao Huaixing, do you dare to call your mother in front of everyone to confirm this?”
