I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 452

Slander?

The mysterious woman's eyes were filled with contempt as she stared back at Shu Qing. Expectedly, the entire audience was getting worked up over her questions and started to gossip amongst themselves. Shu Qing has always had such a good image. Are the accusations true? This is such breaking news! Everyone started to snap pictures of Shu Qing and her accuser.

The staff at the press conference wanted to step forward to catch the woman, but they had difficulties navigating through the frenzied audience.

The woman removed her cap and glasses gradually. Her long hair fell around her shoulders, framing her exquisite face.

Everyone gasped in shock. She looks exactly like Shu Qing!

"Why does she look so much like Shu Qing?"

"Who is that girl?"

"Quickly, snap a few pictures!"

The reporters were on cloud nine now. It is breaking news indeed, even if the accusations are not true! Furthermore, this girl looks exactly like a younger Shu Qing!

The mysterious woman stared at the pale Shu Qing on stage before sweeping her gaze over the photographers. Her lips curled up into a mocking smile as her gaze fell on Shu Qing again. Humph. So she has finally lost her cool and elegant demeanor after seeing me?

"Ms. Shu, do you still remember me?

"Who... Who are you?" Shu Qing asked in a trembling voice.

Another gasp rang out from the audience upon hearing Shu Qing's question, and the reporters starting questioning Shu Qing, "Ms. Shu, can you please explain your relationship with this lady? Is her claim true? Is Mr. Shen your boyfriend?"

The reporter, who had asked the last question, was indeed tactful to refer to Mr. Shen as Shu Qing's 'boyfriend' instead of other more inappropriate terms.

But the mysterious woman was displeased upon hearing Shu Qing's question. "Shu Qing, do you really forget about me?"

"I don't know you!" Shu Qing exclaimed shrilly. "Where have you performed your plastic surgery to look exactly like me?" Plastic Surgery? Haha!

The woman, who had caused so much distress to Shu Qing, was none other than Shen Qianan.

Shen Qianan glared at Shu Qing coldly. Disdain flashed across her eyes upon hearing the latter's accusation. "I do want to go for plastic surgery. It's insulting to have a face that looks exactly like yours."

"You..."

"Hey! Wh are you! Why are you creating trouble here!" Shi Nuan had been placing her hand on Song Rongrong's shoulders to restrain her from interfering in this saga, but the latter could not take it any longer. How can I tolerate anyone insulting my goddess!

Thus, Song Rongrong pushed Shi Nuan's hand away and turned around to look at the trouble-maker indignantly before widening her eyes in shock. "You..." She sucked in a deep breath as she stared at Shen Qianan.

How can two unrelated people bear such a striking resemblance to each other in this world?

Song Rongrong looked at Shen Qianan and Shu Qing, and finally, her gaze rested on Shi Nuan.

It may be a coincidence if two strangers bearing such strong resemblance to each other appear together. But now, there are three of them! It's absurd. I must be in a dream.

Song Rongrong was at a loss for words as she thought of Shu Qing's pale face and Shen Qianan's overbearing manner.

Shen Qianan scoffed. "Who are you to stand up for her? Do you even understand her?"

"Of... Of course, I understand her! Ms. Shu has been my idol for so many years. I can recite when she started her acting career, her filmography, her likes, and dislikes!"

Shen Qianan smiled coldly. "I see. Then you must really adore her."

"Of course!" Song Rongrong ignored Shi Nuan, who was busy signaling her to sit down, and continued angrily, "You are such a crazy fan to have undergone plastic surgery so that you can look like your idol. Your love for her must have turned to hatred after realizing she is not within your reach!"

"Crazy fan? Love?" Shen Qianan cast a disdainful gaze at Shu Qing. "Is she even worth it? She's disgusting!"

"Wow..."

"Who is this woman?"

"She's so arrogant!"

"Her face seems real to me. It doesn't look plastic at all!"

"Wait a minute. She looks like Shu Qing, and she mentioned a Mr. Shen from the capital. Oh gosh! Is she Shen Qianan?"

Shen Qianan finally tore her eyes off Shu Qing to look at Song Rongrong. "Do you know about her past? Did you know that she has broken up marriage, abandoned her own daughter, and eloped with her adulterer?"

"Wow."

"Are Shen Qianan's claims true?"

"No, shut up!" Shu Qing shook her manager off and dashed forward. She had the urge to run to Shen Qianan and cover her mouth to warn her not to speak another word.

But Shu Qing's frantic behavior only served to prove Shen Qianan's claims right.

Everyone gasped once again. It was obvious that the situation now was beyond the organizers' control.

Suddenly, Shen Qianan let out a laugh. "Look at how elegantly you are behaving before others. I bet they have not seen you in a disgraced state before? Shu Qing, why do you return if you have opted to leave back then? I can pretend nothing has happened if you continue to stay overseas. But now that you have returned, I won't let you off so easily!"

"Security! Why are we allowing this crazy woman spewing nonsense on stage? Security!"

Shu Qing called for security guards to chase Shen Qianan out immediately. I can't afford to let her continue talking! "Lies! What you are saying are all lies!"

Soon, the security guards reached Shen Qianan and wanted to pull her away, but the latter pushed them away. "How dare you! Don't you know who I am? I am Shen Feng's daughter and Shen Shixiu's sister! How dare you pull me away?"

Shen Shixiu!

Others might not have heard of Shen Feng before, but Shen Shixiu was a famous figure. In fact, he was now in Jiang City!

Hearing Shen Qianan's claim, the security guards did not dare to touch her in any way.

On the stage, Shu Qing had already given up after Shen Qianan revealed her identity.

The reporters bombarded Shen Qianan with questions immediately. There was no doubt that today's events would splash across the front pages of the newspapers tomorrow.

"Ms. Shen, can you please elaborate on what you said just now?"

"Ms. Shen, is Shu Qing really related to your father? If so, how are you related to her?"

"Ms. Shen, you claim Shu Qing has abandoned her child to elope with her adulterer? This child and her adulterer, who are they?"

Suddenly, all the reporters dashed over to Shen Qianan's side and surrounded her.

Shen Qianan was pleased with such a turnout. I will do anything to disgrace Shu Qing.

"I'm the child Shu Qing abandoned years back. My father was married when Shu Qing was together with him. Then..." Shen Qianan's voice trailed off on purpose as she stared at the defeated Shu Qing with mockery in her eyes.

"I guess all of you don't know that I am Shen Shixiu's step-sister. I'm the bastard child that Shen Feng has with Shu Qing!"

"Enough! Shen Qianan, shut up!"

Shu Qing shouted into the microphone with bloodshot eyes, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course I know. I'm only curious as to why you have chosen to return after so many years? Where is your adulterer?" Suddenly, the conference doors opened.

A man walked in, emitting a chillingly cold aura. His sharp gaze fell onto Shen Qianan.

There was an assistant behind him, and behind the two of them was a group of seemingly well-trained bodyguards.

Shen Shixiu shifted his gaze from Shen Qianan to Shu Qing before waving his hands. "Jiang Zhan, please bring Ms. Qianan back!" "No, I'm not leaving!"

Shen Qianan refused to budge even when the bodyguards reached her. "Shixiu, I will do anything you ask of me except for this!"

"Haven't you had enough?" Shen Shixiu's low and deep voice resonated inside the room. He continued coldly, "You are my family, my mother's daughter, and my sister! Others are not worthy of being your family members!"

It was apparent that Shen Shixiu was protecting Shen Qianan. He turned to look at Shu Qing with mockery in his eyes. "Hello Ms. Shu, how have you been?"

Shen Shixiu!

Shu Qing trembled as her lips quivered in fear, but she failed to get a single word out.

But Shen Shixiu turned his gaze away from Shu Qing and looked at Shi Nuan instead. He was stunned for a second before his eyes flickered with inexplicable emotion before he shifted his gaze away from her swiftly.

Shi Nuan looked at Shen Shixiu, Shen Qianan, and Shu Qing.

What a farce. Why do I have such a weird feeling when Shen Qianan questioned Shu Qing, though? Is she really Shen Qianan's mother? If so, is she really as cold-blooded as what Shen Qianan claims? How heartless one must be to abandon her own child...

"Come home with me!"

With that, Shen Shixiu ordered the bodyguards to chase the reporters away from Shen Qianan's side and asked Jiang Zhan to bring her out immediately.

Jiang Zhan swept a cold glance across the reporters. "You all better not report today's events. You should know the consequences if the Shen family appears on the news tomorrow."
