Chapter 286 Are you a mistress?
Chapter 286 Are you a mistress?
The moment she finished speaking, a blinding white light flashed before her eyes. Siyi's temples throbbed, and she paused in her buttoning, instinctively squinting.
Everything happened so fast that for a few seconds, Siyi's mind went blank, and her body stiffened instinctively due to the sudden situation. When she came to her senses, she heard a muffled buzzing in her head, and then she suddenly reached out and pulled Beibei into her arms.
The next second, she remembered something, quickly took off her coat, and covered Bei Bei's face with it.
But clearly, it was too late.
The elevator entrance was blocked by too many people, each holding a camera, and a few even more exaggeratedly carrying video cameras, snapping away at the mother and child. The sound of shutters clicking, accompanied by blinding white light, made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Someone took out a shorthand notebook and a voice recorder. A refined-looking young man squeezed to the front, with people pushing and shoving behind him. He put the voice recorder in his shirt pocket, then braced himself with his hands, slightly out of breath: "Miss Ye Siyi?"
Siyi already had some guesses in her mind. So many reporters, all mentioning her name, were clearly there for her. She thought her identity shouldn't be enough to excite these reporters so much; the only explanation was...
She pursed her lips, her face slightly pale, but her emotions remained relatively stable. She simply kept hiding Beibei behind her and straightened up, saying, "Are you reporters? Do you know this is private property? Trespassing on private property is illegal, you know that?"
Judging from the situation, Siyi could tell that the security guard at the apartment entrance would definitely not be able to stop these media paparazzi who could be described as "ruthless".
However, as a lawyer, these words were her instinctive reaction, and of course, they just came out of her mouth.
However, the reporter at the front suddenly became excited, like a hunter spotting prey, and his voice became somewhat unsteady, "Ms. Ye Siyi, have you read this morning's newspaper? May I ask what your relationship is with Jiang Yanhui?" As he spoke, his eyes began to glance at Beibei behind Siyi, "Is this child Jiang Yanhui's illegitimate son?"
Siyi's heart sank suddenly. What she feared most had come to pass. She was sure that her coat covered her son well. She hugged Beibei's head tightly. The little guy probably sensed the uneasy atmosphere outside and moved his head. Siyi then pressed down even harder.
They can take pictures of their own faces, but they can't let these people take pictures of Beibei's face.
"I don't know what you're talking about, please move aside!"
"Ms. Ye Siyi, please don't deny it." The reporter was clearly prepared. He took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Siyi, a smirk playing on his lips. "This is a photo of you two from five years ago, right? Your ancestral home is in this city. You had a relationship with Jiang Yanhui five years ago. The little boy in your arms is five years old this year, isn't he? This is Jiang Yanhui's child, isn't it? Do you know that Jiang Yanhui is already married?"
Siyi's face suddenly turned pale. She didn't even know when the photo was taken, but the people in it were definitely her and Jiang Yanhui.
The two stood facing each other. Jiang Yanhui's tall figure leaned slightly closer to her. She said something to her, and her face flushed slightly, making her look like a typical young woman.
That was me five years ago, and that was Jiang Yanhui five years ago.
But now that such a photo was being handed to her by such a person, she was filled with anger, her eyes growing colder and colder. "What are you doing? Blocking the elevator entrance and not letting me out, I have the right to sue you for your actions!"
She pursed her lips tightly, realizing that she couldn't go out at all, so she simply held her son in her arms, lowered her voice and whispered in Beibei's ear that he shouldn't move or be afraid, while pressing her coat with her hand and trying to squeeze through the crowd to walk out.
But in reality, her path was blocked, and she could not move an inch. She stood there, listening to one question after another.
“Ms. Ye Siyi, of course we know your identity. You are a lawyer and of course you have the right to protect your own interests. However, we also have the right to freedom of the press.”
Siyi gave the reporter in the lead a cold look. His words were sharp and every word hit the mark. He was nothing like an ordinary paparazzi reporter. In particular, his eyes were exceptionally sharp.
She already had a clue. She had been doing well in B City, so how could something like this suddenly happen? So many reporters swarmed to her doorstep and asked these questions. Someone must be pulling something behind the scenes, so this man must be a "plant"!
Siyi was never one to back down. She had been arguing fiercely in court for so many years. What kind of people hadn't she faced? All she had was a mouth. When she was all talk and no action, this man was probably still out there somewhere!
Moreover, she knew perfectly well that at this moment, she needed to maintain control of the situation; otherwise, the more panicked she became, the more these people would escalate their actions.
Holding Bei Bei in one arm, at a safe distance, she suddenly reached out and ripped off the male reporter's press pass. Her cool eyes swept over the name on it, a slight smile playing on her red lips. She was remarkably calm; even a big star accustomed to dealing with paparazzi wouldn't have such an aura at this moment. "Reporter Qu Minsheng, from Dongri Ming Pao, right? I'll remember you. I won't let your warning go to waste. I'm a lawyer, and I'll send you a lawyer's letter. You'll be sued!"
The man, who had been so confident, was taken aback. The light in her eyes was so cold; this woman was not so easy to deal with.
How can she remain so calm while holding a child in this situation?
The man's heart skipped a beat. Siyi's actions had probably fooled the reporters behind her. She shifted in the elevator and raised her voice a few decibels, "You all have the right to freedom of the press, but what can you do if you block me from leaving like this? Even if you film me from head to toe today, what can you do? This building has surveillance cameras. If you barge in like this, I will sue you one by one when I get out."
She spoke with a powerful aura and unwavering gaze. Several reporters carrying cameras involuntarily made way for her. Some of these reporters were just there to cover a story, but this woman seemed different. After all, she was a lawyer, and she had been escorted when she rushed in. This was indeed a private place; if the police found out, she would probably be taken to the police station…
With that thought in mind, more and more people moved aside.
Siyi's heart leaped with joy. She tightened her embrace of Beibei, and was about to step out of the elevator when she noticed the male reporter standing beside her.
Seeing that Siyi was about to leave, and noticing so many reporters just standing there without being able to ask a single question, the man was very frustrated. In a moment of panic, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the jacket over Beibei's head...
Siyi was caught off guard by the man behind her. By the time she came to her senses, her coat had already been ripped off by the man.
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly reached out to protect Beibei's face. Fortunately, the little guy's face wasn't too big, but it was still difficult for her to cover it with just one hand.
"What are you all waiting for? This is such big news, are you just going to stand here and watch?"
The man took out his camera and started snapping pictures of Bei Bei's face, which was half exposed to the air.
Even though Beibei is usually quite precocious, he was still a little scared in such a big scene. In addition, Siyi kept protecting him and telling him not to move, so he just huddled in Siyi's arms.
At this moment, the man's words naturally caused a huge stir. The reporters who had been fooled by Siyi came to their senses one by one, and as if they had been injected with chicken blood, they started snapping photos of Siyi again.
“Miss Ye Siyi, we all know you are Mr. Jiang Yanhui’s mistress, but these days a mistress can do something like this.”
