Chapter 138 - Served on a Platter (8)
The reporters on site and the other people there were absolutely thrown off track by Ling Tianya’s seemingly completely unrelated question. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what she was getting at.
Ling Qi’s face flashed with mockery. It looked like Ling Tianya was out of tricks and could only use such silly tactics to redirect everyone’s attention and to delay the time. She looked at Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi, those two people were frowning too. Clearly, they were feeling more and more dissatisfied with Ling Tianya. Then, Ling Qi looked at Ling Tao who was in the corner.
On the receiving end of Ling Qi’s mocking gaze, Ling Tao’s face froze, before looking at Ling Tianya, his eyes conflicted.
Everyone’s expression showed different emotions, and only Ruan Zeyan continued to smile as he gazed lovingly at her, as though not worried or concerned at all.
Du Gang’s mouth twitched, as though there were words at the tip of his tongue, he was just a little worried for Ling Tianya, but seeing that his own boss was so collected, he swallowed those questions of concern.
Sheng Dan was clearly not bothered about the fact that Ling Tianya knew where she had studied for her elementary education, after all, she was a quite a famous reporter within the circle, and there are articles online introducing her. As long as someone took the time to do some searching online, her past schools were not a secret.
So, when Ling Tianya asked that question, Sheng Dan did not realize, or think she was up to anything. Instead, Guan Meiyi was the one that had frowned inconspicuously, before looking at Ling Yuqing who was standing in the corner.
Ling Yuqing nodded, telling her to relax, and that everything was in her control.
It was only then that Guan Meiyi’s brows straightened out again, before watching on as though she was watching a drama.
Ling Tianya leaned her chin onto her propped up palm, her other hand drumming on the table surface, languidly continuing on, “If I don’t remember wrongly, my step-sister was studying at Yue Jin Elementary School too.” Finishing, Ling Tianya’s languid eyes turned to look at Ling Yuqing. Following her gaze, everyone in the room turned to look at Ling Yuqing too.
Ling Yuqing froze, she definitely didn’t think that, Ling Tianya could still drag her into the mess even then!
She forced a smile unnaturally. “I think I did study there for two years, but it’s been a long time, so I don’t quite remember. I can’t believe I’m actually from the same school as Reporter Sheng, what a coincidence…”
“Is that so? You really don’t know the great Reporter Sheng?” Ling Tianya’s eyebrow twitched as she looked at Ling Yuqing challengingly.
“I don’t know her, Sister Tianya, I think you should get back to the topic on hand…” Ling Yuqing saw that the flow of the conversation of the press conference was completely in Ling Tianya’s control. She rushed to quickly remind her of that fact.
Right then, the reporters remembered that they didn’t expect themselves to be brought out of tempo so easily either. After a short period of shock, they immediately restarted their bombardment of questions.
Sheng Dan loudly shouted, “Miss Ling, please stop dragging this out! That is an act of disrespect to all of us!”
Sheng Dan quickly escalated the situation to another level. Since the beginning, entertainment journalists had never been a group that had a good reputation, and they definitely had taken the short end of the stick somewhere in their career. Sheng Dan’s words definitely struck a nerve in the reporters, and the scene became uncontrollable for a moment.
Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi definitely were very affected by the mess of a scene, their heads hurting from all the screaming, and their faces showing every bit of their indignation.
Guan Meiyi saw every tiny little detail, her lips lifting slightly.
Right then, even Zhang Heng and Mr. Wang had no idea what Ling Tianya wanted to accomplish, the two of them were as awkward as statues.
Faced with such a chaotic scene, Ling Tianya was still as sturdy as a mountain, and merely silently watched the reporters that were agitated. After a moment, her fingers drumming the table surface stopped, and she stood.
Seeing that Ling Tianya finally moved, the reporters stopped their action, quietening down and waiting for her response.
Instead, the screen behind Ling Tianya suddenly lit up, it was clearly a screenshot from a Qzone. In the screenshot, there was a photo, and in the photo. It was two girls around twelve years of age, laughing as they hugged each other, extremely affectionate with each other.
Seeing the photo, Sheng Dan’s eyes shot wide, the color draining from her face, looking at Ling Tianya in shock.
“How did you…”
Not waiting for Sheng Dan to finish, Ling Tianya continued with a smile. “Don’t be impatient, let’s keep looking.” The screenshot then scrolled further down, and they could all see that many people had liked the photo.
Amongst the many of them, someone with the ID “Spiritual Holi Day” was the first person to like this photo. By that point in time, there were a few sharp reporters that realized that “Spiritual Holi Day” was the author of the article that was targeting Ling Tianya?
Things were getting interesting…
