Chapter 238 The Only Daughter
Seeing this, everyone automatically quieted down and held their breath again, and the hall was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
"Ji Ran is the only daughter of me, Qin Wenzhou, and Qiu Lingyue, the love of my life."
Even though everyone had a vague idea of the truth, they were still shocked when the person involved confirmed it in person.
"Huh?! So...not a lover...Professor Ji is Boss Qin's daughter?!"
"Holy crap! Who started spreading these rumors in the first place?! Are they crazy?! Spreading rumors that someone's daughter is a mistress! What an idiot!"
'Um... if I remember correctly, the Fu family was the first to release the details of the announcement.'
'Damn! This Fu family is absolutely disgusting! A cancer on China!'
'Let's see how those people who so confidently claim Professor Ji is a mistress can keep barking now.'
"Exactly, when I said there wasn't any concrete evidence, a bunch of people started attacking my family."
"Me too. Just for saying a few words in support, people are calling me a mistress. President Qin should sue all those people."
……
The hall was in an uproar, filled with shocked gasps.
As people began to speak out in support of Ji Ran, some even began to flatter and fawn over him.
Yuan Yamei and her daughter, who had followed Mo Yilan in, grew increasingly resentful.
Zeng Qian'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Her status as a wealthy heiress, which she was once most proud of, has now lost its advantage.
After all, everyone knows that she is not Zeng Nian's biological daughter, but just a nominal heiress.
And Ji Ran, that bastard child, has somehow transformed into the daughter of Qin Wenzhou, the richest man in China.
On what grounds?! On what grounds?!
How come all the good luck falls on that bitch's head!
Compared to Zeng Qian'er, who wore her heart on her sleeve, Yuan Yamei remained remarkably calm on the surface, even though her inner resentment was as painful as a cat's claws.
She seemed to be talking to herself as she said softly:
"It's wonderful that Miss Ji has been able to find her biological parents."
But bearing those scandalous rumors...sigh...I suppose Mr. Qin won't blame his child."
In the crowd, her voice was only heard by a few people who were relatively close by, and everyone just thought she was a kind person who was genuinely worried about Professor Ji.
Except for Zeng Qian'er.
In an instant, his face lit up with joy.
Having lived in a prestigious family for so many years, she naturally knows what is most important.
Reputation, of course.
Compared to this, even blood ties are insignificant.
She couldn't hold back any longer and squeezed forward to snatch the microphone from Mo Yilan.
"But Mr. Qin, even if Ji Ran isn't your mistress, it's a fact that she's promiscuous and has a chaotic private life. Do you really want to make someone of such low moral character your heir?"
She then turned to various media outlets to question:
"Do you really want to see such a morally corrupt person sitting in a professorship at Kyoto University, tarnishing the university's reputation and misleading students?"
After she finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at her in surprise.
Some people think she makes a good point.
"After all, even experts have verified that those pictures do not show any signs of being photoshopped."
"Yes, there's also video evidence. Although it's quite blurry, it actually matches the quality of the footage that was secretly filmed."
"If the heir of the Qin family is of this character, it certainly damages the Qin family's image..."
"Even a large company can't withstand such losses. President Qin should really reconsider."
"Moreover, the Qin family was originally the largest economy in China, so President Qin should also consider the country's perspective."
……
Hearing these words, Zeng Qian'er proudly raised her head, while Yuan Yamei, the instigator behind her, watched the scene with great satisfaction.
However, some people questioned Zeng Qian'er's background and wondered why she dared to confront President Qin so directly.
"Who is this woman? How dare she directly question President Qin?"
"This seems to be the Zeng family's daughter..."
"The daughter of General Zeng? No wonder."
"However, doesn't her reaction seem a bit excessive?"
"Indeed... no matter what, the biological child has the right to inherit. It's strange that she, an outsider, is so agitated and jumping out to speak out."
Zeng Qian'er was very unhappy with these words and immediately picked up the microphone to loudly retort:
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to judge me? What's wrong with me caring about the future development of China's largest economy? I'm the daughter of a former general. Don't I have the right to supervise these companies? No matter how rich the Qin family is, they still have to bear the Chinese surname, don't they?"
After these words, which carried an air of superiority, many people looked at Zeng Qian'er with a mixture of contempt and disdain.
"What? What's wrong with the general's daughter? What makes her so special?"
"How come it's her turn to supervise? Anyone who didn't know better would think she's the leader."
"Isn't Fu Luanyin one of your kind? She looks down on people just because of her status?"
"I think General Zeng's daughter was his stepdaughter? She was brought along when General Zeng's second wife married him."
"Yes, I remember that too. The first wife only gave birth to two sons."
"However, the Zeng family's upbringing is truly worrying. The eldest son is an abusive and adulterous man, and his stepdaughter has also developed the same character."
……
Upon hearing this, Zeng Qian'er became furious and was about to launch into another tirade when Yuan Yamei stepped in and stopped her.
"I'm sorry everyone, but this is Qin's home turf after all. We shouldn't steal the spotlight. Everyone should focus on the Qin family's heir."
Then she looked at Qin Wenzhou, very dignified and elegant, and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, my daughter Qian'er is still young and I've spoiled her. She may speak inappropriately, but she has a good nature. She's just afraid that the foundation you've built up over half your life will be destroyed."
I know Ji Ran, he has a bit of a personality... but he grew up in that kind of environment, so it's not his fault.
I understand your desire to make amends for what you feel you owe your daughter, but ultimately you need to consider the bigger picture, don't you think?
Her words conveyed the same meaning as Zeng Qian'er's, but were much more appropriate, leaving no room for criticism.
Furthermore, the words of such a gentle and reasonable person only reinforced the perception that Ji Ran was an orphan, had not received a good education, and was of poor character.
Everyone fell silent.
Qin Wenzhou sat on the stage, quietly watching them finish their performance. Especially when he met Yuan Yamei's deliberately seductive gaze, his eyes turned icy cold.
Before the Qin family could respond, another voice suddenly interrupted them.
"Mr. Qin, I have some things I'd like to display. May I borrow the large screen?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was none other than Mo Yilan, the new female anchor of Central China Television and a well-known media personality.
Yuan Yamei smiled triumphantly, because she had instructed Mo Yilan to find an opportunity to expose another bombshell today, ensuring that Ji Ran's social death would never be able to recover.
At this moment, Mo Yilan also turned her head and nodded at her meaningfully.
