Chapter 1541 Chen Fei VS. the Media
"First of all, we just got engaged so we don"t know the wedding date yet," Chen Fei began speaking in confident English. She wasn"t intimidated by the aggressive reporters and paparazzi at all.
"Second, if you are good reporters, then you should be able to research how much my engagement ring costs without asking us point-blank and trying to present us as tacky nouveau riche who only care about the expensiveness of things. Also, let me tell you that I don"t care about the price of my ring at all. The fact that my boyfriend who"s now my fiancé gave it to me is enough to make me happy. It"s the thought behind the ring that counts, not the price. Even if he gave me a hand-woven straw ring, I would still accept it as long as he worked hard to weave it himself. And for your information, I"m not so poor as to not afford to buy myself some nice jewellery. I don"t need a man to do that for me. Well, except for my father, and now, my lover.
"Third, I"m not pregnant. And even if I were pregnant, it"s none of your d.a.m.n business to judge me. Chonglin is the one who"s a celebrity, not me. Attacking a law-abiding, tax-paying, hardworking citizen for being a decent human being is a new low that only trash reporters and paparazzi like you do to find some sense in your useless existence. I respect reporters and those who work for the media who have integrity. Now tell me, all of you who are asking me and my partner these disgusting questions, do you still have integrity in your work?"
Hearing her increasingly scathing words offended quite a few of the media representatives. Most of them, however, felt excited because what she was doing now would surely be hot news.
The cameras and the microphones were all pointed in her direction, not wanting to miss any of her words.
Before those who felt offended by her words could retort, she continued her cool, calm yet very savage answers to their earlier questions.
"Fourth, wait, what was the fourth question again? Oh, right. How do I feel to be engaged to a known playboy? I was feeling happy, but now that you mentioned it, I feel uncomfortable, thanks to all of you. But it doesn"t matter. I"ll deal with Chonglin myself and his disgraceful past. There"s no need for any of you to interfere with our relations.h.i.+p. How would you feel if, I, a total stranger came up in front of you and your lover/wife and began sowing discord out of nowhere? I bet that you"ll want to slap me. That"s how I feel right now, but because I"m a law-abiding person unlike some of you who like to walk along the grey areas of the law to terrorize celebrities and their families, I won"t act on my impulse. Instead, my fiancé and I will consult a lawyer if any of you representatives from the media have violated any laws today when asking me and Chonglin all these upsetting questions.
"Fifth of all, I was only pranking Chonglin when I rejected his proposal at first. I don"t care if you think otherwise. How sad it is to live without a sense of humour. I don"t want to be like you."
By this time, Jin Chonglin was already grinning. He looked like he was watching the greatest show in the world. His eyes were filled with pride and admiration for his fiancée as she battled the reporters and paparazzi with her confidence, wit, and venomous tongue.
This was his woman!
How amazing was she?
As expected of him, Jin Chonglin, for choosing such a strong and independent woman who could wipe his critics" faces on the floor without breaking a sweat!
If Chen Fei could hear his thoughts, she would definitely roll her eyes. Fortunately for him, she couldn"t hear his thoughts. She was too busy battling the reporters and paparazzi with her savage words.
"And finally, yes, this is Chonglin"s second engagement but so what? Our situation is not unique. If a relations.h.i.+p doesn"t work out, then break up. Look for someone else who"s better. Or are you the type of people who think that having an ex makes you a tainted person? Because if you are, then shame on you. You don"t belong in our modern world but in the ancient era instead. Please stay away from me because I don"t even want to touch people like you with a ten-foot pole. Your outdated thinking is not only discriminatory but also very narrow-minded. You lack the qualities to progress with the rest of humanity.
"Also, my man dodged a bullet with his ex-fiancée. That woman was a dangerous, evil criminal who attempted to murder Iris Long, my close friend. Even without Chonglin in the picture, I would want to beat that woman up for committing a deadly crime against my friend. Granted, Iris and I weren"t friends yet when that happened back then, but we are friends now, so I feel indignant for her.
"And if you still try goading me with unsavoury questions about that evil criminal even after I said all this, then it must mean that you"re all sympathetic toward a convicted attempted murderer. I would have all the more reason to want to avoid you all and not want to touch you with a hundred-foot pole.
"I also want to remind you all that my man, Jin Chonglin, had only been engaged to that evil criminal. He had never been married to her. Jin Chonglin is Chen Fei"s man now. Mine! I"m the one he"s going to marry. Whether our relations.h.i.+p lasts or not is none of your d.a.m.n business. If he cheats on me, then that will only prove that he"s a shameful human being who deserves to burn in the deepest pits of h.e.l.l. I won"t care about him then. But right now, he loves me and treats me just the way I like it. If he continues to stay with me without betraying me, then I"ll also treat him the same way. That"s all I have to say."
With that, she grabbed Jin Chonglin"s hand and walked away.
