Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Gu Family Takes Action 4_1

First, Lin Chan drove He Dongxue back to school, then took He Zhilan to pick out clothes and style for the evening. No matter what, it was important to present oneself in a positive light in order for He Zhilan to be more convincing.

It was inconvenient for Chen Yun and Bian Mufan to appear, however, Bian Muhe stood up on behalf of the Bian Family. Even Lin Chan’s parents had arrived at the hotel, signaling that no matter what, He Zhilan had substantial backing.

Despite it being the dead of winter, the hotel heating was turned up sufficently. He Zhilan, dressed to the nines, stood with Lin Chan and Bian Muhe. Lin’s parents were enjoying a lively conversation with some familiar reporters.

"Lin, there are some reporters outside without invitations, do we let them in?"

Without giving it a moment’s thought, Lin Chan checked his wristwatch and stated, "No! Tell them we only welcome professional journalists with integrity."

At 7:30pm, the press conference officially began. All the media outlets received invitations, including the reporters from the capital’s financial newspaper - one of the major newspapers in the capital.

Dressed in a light pink evening dress, that evening, He Zhilan appeared even more youthful and lovely. Her slight make-up made her stand out when she stood beside Lin Chan and Bian Muhe, she had a girl-next-door look that was endearing.

"Regarding the defaming article against He Zhilan published by the capital’s financial newspaper this morning, we are here to hold this press conference," Lin Chan glanced at the reporters from the Capital’s Financial Newspaper and said coldly, "I can assure everyone here that everything in those news articles is completely fabricated. He Zhilan is a very good friend of mine, just like Bian Muhe and others. She’s particularly dear to me, she’s like my little sister, a real sister. My parents can also attest to this."

"I’m at a loss for words about the report that Lin Chan and I brazenly frequented a hotel. This is the most ridiculous report I’ve ever seen. The report was published without verification, which makes me doubt the professionalism of the capital’s financial newspaper. The hotel in the photograph is the hotel we are in. Anyone with doubts can ask at the front desk about my check-in on the day the photograph was taken. It was the day my sister started school, my sister and I checked in together in this hotel and stayed in the same room. Lin Chan cares for me like a real brother, so while I’ve been in capital, he’s been of great help. I’m very grateful to him. Had I not met Lin Chan in capital, my life would have been very different. However, his help to me isn’t as indecent as some unsavory reports suggest. I ask that everyone show some restraint in their writing, please don’t make unbearable speculations about our friendship," He Zhilan concluded.

He Zhilan’s words landed like a slap in the face on the reporters from the capital’s financial newspaper, prompting hushed laughter throughout the room.

Bian Muhe stoked the flames, "I’m also puzzled. When did the capital’s financial newspaper start resorting to unsavory gossip? They are so interested in Lin’s personal affairs now? They have to stick their noses in our familial and friendly affairs? Are they gonna start reporting how many times Lin uses the restroom, or what he eats each day?"
