Chapter 399 - Shove logic down their throats

"I'll call one over in the morning. Let's go down for dinner." 

At the mention of dinner, Shishi realized that she was very hungry. She followed Wan Jia out of the room. 

"Madam Lu..." 

Wan Jia found this form of adress too distant. "Shishi, you don't have to be too formal. You can think of me as an elder sister." 

Shishi blushed as she said, "Sister Jia, can I go back to school? My friends must be worried about me." 

Wan Jia chuckled at how shyly she adressed her. 

"Well, you can go... but it's dangerous. After all you were kidnapped in school. Do you still want to go?" 

"Well..." 

In actual fact, it was not that she wanted to go to school. She was just afraid that if she stayed here any longer, President Lu would think she was being intrusive. She was planning to call her parents and have them bring her overseas with them. 

Wan Jia held her hand. "I know what you're scared about. Don't worry, we decided to protect you, so we will protect you to the end. Until we find you a suitable and safe place to stay, you can stay here." 

Just like that, they reached downstairs.

In the dining room, Little Jia and Lu Aotian were waiting for them. 

As they sat down, Little Jia was looking at Shishi curiously with her big eyes. 

"Elder sister Shishi, right? Do you go to school? I think I saw you somewhere. Right, it was on grandpa's newspaper." 

"Little Jia, behave yourself." Wan Jia said. 

"Sorry sister Shishi." Little Jia stopped blabbering and let her mother scoop her dishes. She took her set of tiny cutlery and started eating on her own. 

...

The next day, Wan Jia took two strong bodyguards with her and went to her new studio's building. Dispite the present chaos, her work had to go on. She couldn't fail to check on the progress of her work just because she was afair of being sorrounded by the media. 

Although she used secret entrances and kept a low profile, the media still found out her whereabouts. As soon as she went to Lu Enterprises, they blocled her path. 

"That's Mrs. Lu. I'm going to interview her." 

"Mrs. Lu, are the rumors true? Are you a murderer?" 

"Mrs. Lu, are you really trying to overthrow your husband?" 

When she left the car, the bodyguards were about to get those reporters out of the way, but Wan Jia said to let them be. 

With the bodyguards protecting her in case someone did something malicious, she stood right in front of those reporters. 

Her gaze was sharp and authoritative, not allowing for any form of nonsense. "What do you want to ask?" 

Hearing her cold tone, the reporters retreated a few steps. Only a few timidly went up close to her. "Mrs. Lu, please say a few words." 

Wan Jia glared at that reporter and laughed coldly. "This is the only chance you will ever get to ask me anything. You better use it wisely." 

The woman gathered her courage to ask, "Mrs. Lu, what do you have to say about this incident?" 

Wan Jia looked sharply at her. "You asked me to say a few words, and I said them. Remain silent and give the others a chance." 

The female reporter was speechless. 

Another young reporter gathered her courage. "Mrs. Lu, did you really murder Elder Master Zhang?" 

Wan Jia chuckled. "Yesterday, you asked if Lu Aotian murdered him, and now you're asking if I did? Where's your integrity?" 

The reporter realized that she had fallen into a trap and kept quiet. 

Another asked, "You could have teamed up with President Lu. After all, you are a couple." 

Wan Jia answered, "Is that so? Then show me his body along with evidence." 

The reporters were not willing to give up. "But you still bullied him! Everyone saw it." 

Wan Jia glanced at him. "Did you?" 

"The employees did." 

"Then let those employees question me. Who are you to ask me such accusing questions?" 

"Mrs. Lu, we are news reporters. We help the public bring the truth to light." 

Wan Jia laughed. "Don't you think that's a cosmic joke? You want to bring the truth to light, but you don't ask me what happened, instead you accuse me and ask for my comments?" 

"What they say is true! Wan Jia is a bully who uses her beauty to trick people and words bully them and force them to their deaths." 

Wan Jia's gaze turned colder. "That second reporter on the last row. Wait for a letter from my lawyer. I'm suing you for slander." 

That reporter was speechless. From her tone, she was really intending to sue him. However, she was powerless now so he wasn't afraid. 

"If there's nothing else, please excuse me. I have important things to do." 

At that moment, a female reporter who had been hired to make things difficult for them said, "You may not have murdered Elder Master Zhang on your own, but you still made things difficult for him and caused his granddaughter to commit suicide. Aren't you ashamed?" 

Wan Jia stopped in her tracks and turned. "In that case, you lot should wait for summons from court." 

Seeing the confusion on their faces, she continued, "You are making things difficult for my husband and I. I'm going to commit suicide. All of you are murderers, don't you think? You forced me to this point; aren't you ashamed?" 

The reporters were speechless. Even Wan Jia's bodyguards at the side had nothing to say. Wasn't their lady boss too shameless? 

How could anyone say such things in public?

Henceforth, no one would have the courage to blame her for Shishi's "death". 

Wan Jia smiled as though she had not just said something so shameless and entered the building. When people were dead set on blaming you, you couldn't reason with them. You could only shove logic down their throats.
