Chapter 713: Chapter 713 Literal Meaning (1) _1

Xia Chen’an, already prepared to go to the podium, stopped abruptly upon hearing this.

The reporters who were initially aggressively pressing questions, one after the other, closed their mouths.

Everyone, as if by agreement, turned their heads in puzzlement, seeking the source of the speaker.

Qin Shujian, who had been hanging her head, felt as if she were suffering from auditory hallucinations. She stared blankly for a good while, only lifting her gaze incredulously after noticing the unexpected silence.

As everyone puzzled over, the voice came again from the loudspeaker: "Please make way. Thank you."

This time, everyone identified the source of the voice, collectively turning to look behind them.

At the very back, the crowd parted, revealing a one-meter-wide path. Some still hadn’t seen who had spoken, but they followed others in creating a path, retreating half a step. Soon, a one-meter-wide path appeared.

At the end of this path stood a beautiful young girl. Despite her heavy makeup, her striking features were immediately recognizable.

Dressed in a black skirt and a bright red coat, she wore shoes with ten-centimeter heels. Her calves were exposed to the cold.

She faced the barrage of eyes upon her without the slightest hint of unease. Standing tall and proud, she watched everyone make a path for her. Once the front row had moved aside, she finally lifted her arm to return the loudspeaker to the road maintenance worker, who had chased after it from the street. After thanking him, she gave a signal to a black-clothed man nearby. Once the black-clothed man embarrassingly went to the road worker, she then lifted her foot, and confidently walked towards Qin Shujian on the stage, all eyes on her.

As she got closer to Qin Shujian, Xia Wan’an realized her eyes - that used to sparkle every time she saw her - were now dark and gloomy, void of any light.

A shrewd flash passed through Xia Wan’an’s eyes, but she quickly concealed her emotions on reaching the stage, calm eyes turning towards the press and cameras.

With Xia Wan’an securely on stage, reporters slowly started to come back to their senses.

"Who is this?"

"I don’t know who she is, but it seems she mentioned that the stories about the ragpicker were not fabricated..."

The scattered whispers stirred the room, and someone already started to yell hoarsely, "Excuse me, miss, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"By literal terms," Xia Wan’an responded in a cold, clear voice. She then proactively added: "Let’s save the ragpicker’s matter for later. Before that, I’d like to show you all something even more interesting..."

Xia Wan’an lifted a thumb drive in her hand: "Could the staff please connect this thumb drive to the screen behind me? Thank you."

The staff member hesitated, looking towards Qin Shujian’s agent.

"Could it be worse than this?" Xia Wan’an didn’t wait for them to make eye contact before speaking again.

Hearing this, the previously hesitant manager, without hesitation, nodded.

The worker who was granted permission to act pulled away the thumb drive from Xia Wan’an’s hands without a moment’s delay.
