After lunch, Liu Xing'an, Qin He, and Gu Qishen three went into the courtyard.
The three of them lay on the rattan chairs to digest their food. Madam Liu cut some fruit and placed it on the stone table next to the rattan chairs.
"Master, let's go to the exhibition hall in the afternoon. If you really dislike interviews, hiding is a bad option. I think you should hold a press conference to resolve this matter once and for all."
Liu Xing'an snorted, "I don't like these people, why should I hold a press conference for them?"
Qin He laughed, "There's no other way, is there? Otherwise, they'll knock on your door every day, won't you be annoyed?"
"I specifically invited Wang Juan to deal with them," Liu Xing'an said unhappily. "Before, I asked your Shimu to refuse them, but after they knew your Shimu was my wife, they kept interviewing her and wouldn't let her go!"
Qin He nodded, "Then I'll handle this matter."
"How do you plan to resolve it?"
Qin He smiled, "As your last disciple, I'll hold a press conference for you."
Liu Xing'an was pleased to hear this, his lips twitching a few times before straightening.
After staying at the Liu family for a day, Qin He and Gu Qishen left.
Gu Qishen drove Qin He back to the Qin family.
The car stopped in front of the Qin family's gate. Gu Qishen stopped Qin He, who was about to get out of the car, "Are you really planning to hold a press conference?"
Qin He nodded, "Yes, I can't let those people always harass Master and Shimu, can I?"
Gu Qishen pondered, "When do you plan to hold it? And where? I'll accompany you."
Qin He smiled, "I know you're worried about my safety. Don't worry, I'm holding this press conference live."
Now, Shen Yicong was hiding somewhere. If she held a press conference in reality, she would need to notify reporters of the time and location in advance.
Even if she booked a venue in advance, she didn't think it would be safe. After all, Erniang had dared to plant so many bombs around the auction house before.
She had long witnessed the ruthlessness of this terrorist organization.
"That's a good idea," Gu Qishen said with a smile.
Qin He narrowed her eyes and leaned towards Gu Qishen's face, "Then I'll go home first. Goodbye."
She quickly pecked him on the cheek and hurried out of the car.
Her sly expression was like a kitten that had stolen fish and then escaped.
Gu Qishen watched her figure, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Upon returning home and entering the living room, Qin He saw Xu Wanwan and Di Shishi sitting together, talking about something.
Although these two shared similar personalities, they were diametrically opposed in temperament, and it was rare to see them sitting together and chatting like this.
"What are you two talking about?" Qin He asked.
Xu Wanwan looked up and saw Qin He, waving her over immediately, "He'er, come here quickly, there's big news."
Qin He leaned closer, "What news?"
Xu Wanwan handed the tablet in her hand to Qin He, "Take a look yourself."
Two large photos appeared on the tablet. Qin He raised her eyebrows and swiped up, seeing the headline.
【Movie Emperor Ming Chi and Famous Actress Yin Zi, Caught Having a Late-Night Rendezvous in a Hotel Room Booked by the Film Crew!】
"Hiss!" Qin He slid her finger down, looked at the pictures again, and tapped to enlarge them. It was indeed a scene of Ming Chi entering a room.
The news stated it was Yin Zi's room, and it was three o'clock in the morning.
Ming Chi had a great reputation in the entertainment industry, being the youngest Heavenly King superstar of his generation.
Yin Zi had become popular recently and was a hot actress.
Qin He glanced at the comments below the article. Most were blessings, while a small number of Ming Chi's fans were scolding Yin Zi.
Some of Yin Zi's fans also said that Ming Chi was an old cow eating young grass.
However, such comments were rare, and Qin He simply ignored them.
Di Shishi leaned over, "Qin He, is your cousin and Yin Zi dating for real?"
Xu Wanwan was stuffing walnuts into her mouth, munching loudly, "It must be true! Otherwise, why would he go to someone else's room at three in the morning? I think this Ming Chi is full of bad intentions."
Qin He and Yin Zi were now considered friends. She knew Yin Zi had good character and values, making her a rare pure stream in the entertainment industry.
"If you want to know, why don't you call and ask?" Qin He smiled.
Xu Wanwan's eyes widened, "How can we call and ask about this?"
Qin He directly took out her phone. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and the photos were taken yesterday. Judging by the time, Ming Chi should have woken up by now.
She directly dialed Ming Chi's number.
After a few rings, Ming Chi answered.
Qin He directly put it on speaker, "Brother, Wanwan and I have something to ask you."
Ming Chi's voice on the other end was very lazy, as if he had just woken up, "What is it? Have you two run out of pocket money?"
Qin He narrowed her eyes.
"Wanwan saw the news about you and Yin Zi. While expressing our concern, we want to ask if you two are really dating."
Xu Wanwan was furious and wanted to hit Qin He, but she dared not make a sound to retort.
She always pretended to be very ladylike in front of the Ming family, even though the Ming family knew her true nature and quite liked it.
"Hmm—" Ming Chi considered for a few seconds, "Actually, you should call her 'sister-in-law'."
The walnut in Xu Wanwan's mouth choked her directly.
Qin He's eyes widened, "So soon? Did you get married? This, didn't you discuss it with Uncle and Aunt first?"
"They've been hoping I'd get married for a long time. My Aunt said as long as I bring back a person, she has no objections."
Ming Chi's laughter was heard. Qin He narrowed her eyes and keenly heard the sound of flowing water in the background.
"Brother, is someone there with you?"
Ming Chi lazily hummed, "Xiao Zi is taking a bath."
Qin He: "..."
Xu Wanwan: "..."
"Then I won't disturb you. I'll hang up now." Qin He immediately hung up the phone.
Di Shishi next to her widened her eyes, "Your cousin is amazing."
Xu Wanwan sighed, "I really couldn't tell that Ming Chi was this kind of person. He looks so gentle and refined, but he's so aggressive."
Qin He clicked her tongue with her phone, "My mother said my uncle is the type who looks refined but is actually sly. When he was pursuing my aunt, he slashed her tires. It seems Brother Ming Chi has inherited the Ming family's genes."
Xu Wanwan cast a sideways glance at Qin He, "What about your own brother? I've been chasing him for so many years!"
The three chatted for a while before Qin He returned to her bedroom. After washing up, she immediately posted on Weibo.
The gist was that she was the apprentice of the owner of the Sun-and-Mortise Exhibition Hall and would hold a live press conference tomorrow, allowing any reporter with verified credentials to ask her questions.
Finally, she mentioned the reporters' behavior of finding the address and harassing them.
Qin He typed seriously: 【My Master and Shiniang are both elderly, and Shiniang has poor health. They are both gentle by nature. Please do not disturb their peaceful lives.】
After posting, Qin He was still a little worried.
What if Shen Yicong targeted Master because of her Weibo post?
