Now that Meng Nianchu knew Meng Rong's next move, she naturally came up with a corresponding countermeasure.
She quietly moved all the embarrassing videos she had taken of Meng Rong into the same file, in case they would be needed in the near future.
Looking at her completed work, Meng Nianchu's expression was dark, as if she was deep in thought.
Since Meng Rong was so eager to become famous, why not give her a helping hand and make her even more notorious!
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Just as Bai Ling had said, Meng Rong really held a press conference, and it was a grand event. She seemed to be trying to make a comeback by playing the victim and whitewashing herself.
Meng Nianchu disguised herself and managed to get into the press - conference venue by blending in with the crowd. She sat in the corner at the very back.
Just as she sat down, her phone rang.
Bai Ling: The thing is done.
Looking down at the message from Bai Ling, Meng Nianchu quietly let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes fixed on the stage, and a shadow of hatred flashed in them.
I will surely return all the harm you've done to me!
The press conference didn't take long to start. The invited journalists were all ready, waiting for today's big scoop.
Among these journalists, Meng Nianchu noticed that there were three reporters and two photographers who always stayed in the middle of the group. Obviously, they were the ones Meng Rong had specially invited to help whitewash herself.
Just as the crowd was getting restless, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd, "Meng Rong is coming!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Meng Rong, wearing sunglasses, was escorted by her assistant and stood on the platform. Immediately, the journalists thrust their microphones forward.
"Miss Meng, could you please explain this matter? What do you want to say about the affair rumors between you and Li Feng on Weibo?"
"Li Feng is now very much in love with his wife. How do you feel about that, Miss Meng? Will you bless their happiness?"
"Some netizens said that your press conference this time is just because you have no roles to play and no money to earn, so you are forced to take this step. Do you have anything to explain about this, Miss Meng?"
These journalists were clearly well - prepared. Meng Rong, looking frail, was surrounded by them in the middle. She looked extremely pitiful.
Meng Nianchu watched coldly from the back, waiting for Meng Rong's response.
"Excuse me, dear journalists. Could you please step back a bit? My Miss Rong has been in a very bad state recently because of the negative comments on the Internet. I hope you can understand."
Meng Rong didn't say a word. Instead, her petite assistant standing beside her spoke first. However, her words seemed to fall on deaf ears, as no journalist listened to her.
The questions kept coming, and the journalists kept getting closer.
Suddenly, the silent Meng Rong took off her sunglasses, revealing her red and swollen eyes from crying in public.
All the journalists held their breath and stared at her.
Meng Rong slowly began to speak, her voice tinged with sobs. "Some of my emotional affairs were due to my immaturity and lack of self - restraint at that time. After reflecting on myself during this period, I have fully realized my shortcomings and have been making corrections."
"As for the rest, they are just groundless rumors spread by those who can't stand to see me living a good life. I was framed in Singapore. It wasn't my intention. Everyone has misunderstood this matter."
"What exactly is your relationship with Meng Nianchu? Can you share it with us?"
A female journalist suddenly asked.
Sitting at the back, Meng Nianchu tapped her right index finger on the back of her left hand that was resting on her thigh, listening quietly.
Meng Rong was silent for a while. "This is a family matter of our Meng family. I can't answer this question."
Then, a steady stream of questions came, making a deafening noise.
At this moment, Meng Rong seemed to lose all her strength and fell into her assistant's arms.
The assistant said anxiously, "My Miss Rong has been taking care of the poor children in the mountainous areas in remote places for a long time. She hasn't had a good sleep for ages."
"I hope everyone can rationally deal with the offensive information on the Internet and give more trust to the artists. My Miss Rong is really not as bad as what's said on the Internet. Everyone has really misunderstood her."
By the end of her speech, she was on the verge of tears.
Meng Rong stood up pretending to be weak, with bloodshot eyes in her eye sockets. "I know everyone has a lot of misunderstandings about me now, but please give me more opportunities to prove to you that I'm really not lying."
After saying that, she bowed deeply.
Seeing such a sincere scene, a group of young fans in the audience couldn't bear it any longer. They all cheered and shouted, "No matter what Meng Rong does, we believe in her! We believe in Meng Rong!"
"Yes! Such a cute girl couldn't have done such excessive things. She must have been framed! I think Meng Nianchu is the one who always acts fake on the screen. She's a total hypocrite!"
Some people agreed, while others were skeptical. A middle - aged man sitting right in front of Meng Nianchu slowly asked, "You said you were doing charity, but without any evidence, who will believe you? I saw photos of you playing around on the Internet just a few days ago."
As his question fell, the press conference suddenly fell silent.
Meng Nianchu stared at Meng Rong on the stage with a dark expression. Before Meng Rong could show any signs of panic, she quickly replied, "I didn't post this news on Weibo before because I didn't want people to think that I was trying to whitewash myself with this matter."
"But during this period, people's misunderstandings about me have deepened. The people in the company didn't want to see me being wronged like this, so they decided to tell everyone through this press conference that I'm really not as bad as you think."
"I've collected all the videos of Miss Rong's charity work. If you want to know, please look at the big screen."
The assistant took over the conversation in time. Everyone's eyes turned to the big screen as she finished speaking.
The staff behind the scenes operated the machine, and the big screen gradually lit up.
A look of pride appeared on Meng Rong's face, but the next second, her smile seemed to freeze. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
On the big screen, Meng Rong was kneeling on the ground, crying and wailing. "I'm not as good as Meng Nianchu in any way. I'm ugly in every aspect. If I ever do anything against Meng Nianchu again, I'll kill myself on the spot."
"Meng Rong asked me to kidnap Meng Nianchu and rape her. She wanted to ruin Meng Nianchu's reputation! But, but I couldn't bear it, so I recorded this video to expose Meng Rong's true face when I got the chance!"
"I was just following Meng Rong's orders. I didn't do anything to Meng Nianchu. I swear!"
After that, the big screen also showed videos of Meng Rong bullying actors and throwing tantrums on the set.
However, no one had the heart to watch anymore. All their attention was focused on what the man in the first video had said - that Meng Rong had tried to arrange a rape of Meng Nianchu.
The eldest daughter of the Meng family actually tried to harm her own younger sister behind her back?!
The scene fell into complete silence. It was extremely eerie.
