Chapter 442: The Press Conference
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Ruya stood by the entrance of the hospital, her thin clothing accentuating her slender figure. Her waist was so thin and tiny that it seemed like it would snap easily. She did look rather pitiful and invoked a sense of pity within others.
However… every single pa.s.serby looked at her in disdain.
She looked up at the glaring sun which made her eyes hurt, and began tearing up.
She suddenly moved away from the light and squinted. At the instant that she did, a sinister and menacing look formed in her eyes.
Wen Xinya! I’m going to make you pay for all this humiliation that you have caused me a million times over!
Xia Ruya searched the internet for the number of the best notary office in the city, after which she dialed it and said, “I’m Xia Ruya. I would like to invite the best jury you have to show up at my press conference.”
After confirming the time, Xia Ruya headed to Floral Lingo Pavilion.
As soon as she stepped into Floral Lingo Pavilion, all the wealthy ladies, heiresses and celebrities in the salon got a great shock.
“Oh my G.o.d, it’s Xia Ruya. News of her scandal is spreading like wildfire and yet she’s still in the mood to show up at the salon for a spa session.”
“She’s probably just really shameless. If I were her, I’d definitely hide until the matter blows over.”
“I saw the post that she published on Weibo. It seems she’s holding a press conference at three o’clock this afternoon. I guess she’s making preparations for it!”
“Yeah, I saw that post too. Lots of people have shared it and it’s circulating all around the internet. Everyone’s waiting to see what tricks she’s getting up to!”
“Her reputation has already been tarnished. Why does she even bother going for beauty treatments? No matter how pretty she may be, she can’t change the fact that she’s a shameless s.l.u.t. Others are just going to detest her even more.”
“Who cares about her? Let’s go to the press conference to watch a show later.”
Despite all the harsh comments made by the brazen gossip mongers, Xia Ruya remained composed on the surface. However, deep down, she was filled with endless anger and exasperation, which made her lose her rationality. She managed to stay calm by curbing all her emotions with all her might.
Xia Ruya opted for an essential oil ma.s.sage and a beauty facial. She also got her hair done. By the time everything was settled, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.
Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she realized that she looked pale yet pretty. Her eyes were slightly red and she looked rather alluring.
She was dressed in a light-yellow floral dress and a pair of pink stilettos, coupled with simple yet elegant pearl accessories. She looked cla.s.sy yet puerile and youthful.
She remembered how Wen Xinya managed to win the sympathy of the ma.s.ses when the news of her scandal with Xu Zhenyu broke out. She managed to gain the empathy of the lawyers and jury by playing the sympathy card.
After making all the necessary arrangements, Xia Ruya called the public relations company to verify the rundown before heading to the convention hall.
At this moment, all the media personnel and reporters were already present at the venue, as well as some members of the public who were there to watch a good show.
Everyone was in the midst of an active discussion, filled with questions and apprehension about Xia Ruya’s decision to hold a press conference. After all, her reputation had already been ruined. She should be finding a place to hide instead of holding a press conference.
Could it be that she’s trying to defend herself openly? They wondered.
Xia Ruya and the members of the notary office were escorted to the main stage by the security guards. Everyone broke into a frenzy upon sight of Xia Ruya. Some of the audacious reporters even tried to shove the security guards away to interview Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya’s eyes were filled with anger, though she remained calm albeit all the nasty comments. She said, “I’m holding this press conference in hopes of clarifying all the rumors and false allegations that have been made against me regarding the scandal. Everyone here can testify for me.”
The reporters began snapping photos of Xia Ruya like crazy.
The members of the public all found Xia Ruya to be utterly shameless.
Xia Ruya ignored the looks of disdain on their faces. She continued in a crisp, clear voice, “May I now invite the most authoritative actuary on stage to read out a piece of information about me. I hope everyone will remain silent.”
She then closed her eyes slowly and allowed her teardrops to stream down her cheeks.
She then clenched her fists tightly the next second, completely firm and resolute.
She decided to finish what she started, regardless of what it took.
Everyone wondered just what information it was.
They fell silent, dumbfounded.
A middle-aged woman rose from her seat on the stage, dressed in the light blue uniform which all employees of the notary office donned. She had her work permit attached to her chest too. The reporters continued snapping photos of her permit.
“Dear reporters and guests, I’m x.x.x, a member of the notary office. Miss Xia Ruya has undergone a virginity examination at the forensic hospital and I hereby announce that she’s verified to still be a virgin. The test results are genuine and it’s proven that Miss Xia Ruya’s hymen is still intact. The test report has also shown that she has never had any s.e.xual experiences…”
The actuary made her speech with a straight face. All the people present were flabbergasted.
They were filled with astonishment and bewilderment.
Xia Ruya’s shocking actions were jaw-dropping.
“Oh my G.o.d! She’s actually still a virgin. Does that mean that all those rumors and scandals about her are false?”
“What can her intact hymen prove? Brother… you’re so silly. We got those suggestive photos of Xia Ruya checked and it’s proven that they haven’t been digitally altered.”
“Yeah! In today’s society, an intact hymen can no longer be used to prove a girl’s virginity. Black Sunday has a program that allows girls who don’t want to lose their virginities to fool around however they like. A hymen is no big deal…”
“That may be the case, but at least she’s not as worse as those reports make her out to be.”
