A person’s elegance was not based on their social status, but their personality and integrity.

Back then, she refused to sell her body and soul for fame, neither would she give up her values for recognition.

It was an appalling moment for the reporters. It had been a very long time since they came across a celebrity who would smear her name!

Did this lady have a loose screw?

“Miss Chi, were you forced to make this statement?” The “undercover agent” was reluctant to give up and asked again, but his question was drowned out by the din.

“What did you mean by “drunk”? Weren’t you the one who seduced him, Miss Chi?”

“I wonder how many men are under Miss Chi’s spell. What did Second Young Master Wen offer to make you fall into his arms so openly?”

…

The questions were like a bunch of swords that plunged towards Chi Wan.

Her gaze was pained, yet her expression was serene.

Why was she offended by something she had expected?

She opened her mouth and was about to say something. All of a sudden, a cool, steady voice broke through the commotion and interrupted the reporters’ accusations!l

“All of you slander a woman based on a mere photo. Is this the work ethic of an entertainment reporter? Does her feeling of shame give you a sense of accomplishment?”

The man spoke in a rather emotionless manner but stressed the few phrases at the end. For one moment, the reporters froze!

They glanced at each other and slowly shifted their gaze towards the source of the voice.

A slender, refined man descended the spiral staircase.

A still expression was etched onto his attractive face. His thin lips had a natural upward curve as if he was displaying a subtle smile.

Nevertheless, his seemingly warm pair of eyes gleamed with intimidation and sent fear into the hearts of people around him.

Chi Wan shuddered. Of course, she remembered his voice.

It was that man…

Wen Mo’s background was somewhat complicated. Most people only knew that high society referred to him as the heir of the No. 1 elites.

People were aware that he was not one to be messed with. Thus, as soon as this scandal blew up, apart from those harboring other intentions, the public directed their attention towards the weak and helpless Chi Wan.

When they noticed his presence, the reporters looked at each other in guilt and moved aside, forming a pathway for Wen Mo.

This sophisticated man was neither cold nor warm. His expression was always as calm as still water.

His placid appearance made it look as if he had nothing to do with whatever happened around him.

As Chi Wan watched, Wen Mo approached her, closing the distance between them.

“Second Young Master, I would like to ask, were you trying to defend Miss Chi with your prior remark?”

In the silence, Young Master Mu’s “undercover agent” adjusted the Bluetooth device on his ear as he uttered the question he had been ordered to ask.

Wen Mo let out a cold smile and threw the fellow a sideways glance. Then, he ignored him without saying a word.

He looked like he accidentally saw a pile of rubbish by casting that disinterested glance.

The “undercover agent’s” fingers twitched. His heart palpitated when he saw Wen Mo’s intimidating smile. Still, he continued according to the orders given to him via the Bluetooth device.

“Second Young Master, if I remember correctly, Miss Chi has always packaged herself as a pure and innocent young woman. However, this photo is self-explanatory. She deceived the public and the truth is out!”
