Chapter 1304: Chapter 1282: Already Lined Up a New Backer?

Chu Xinyue felt a stir in her heart, the drowsiness that had just come vanished, and she sat up.

Living at the Chu Family for so long, he never came looking for her, not even a phone call...

Could it be him?

She walked out anxiously and answered the phone.

A middle-aged man’s deep voice came from the other end: "Hello."

Her heart seemed to drop from the sky to the ground, losing all strength, and her voice became listless, lacking energy: "Doctor Han."

"Xinyue, I heard you’ve been staying at the Chu Family these days?"

"Yes, that’s right." She remained listless, already guessing the reason Doctor Han called.

Sure enough, Doctor Han’s voice was low and somewhat anxious: "Haven’t you told His Highness yet?"

Chu Xinyue’s throat moved: "Don’t worry, I will tell him."

Dr. Han, after all, was middle-aged, and could easily tell Chu Xinyue was being evasive, his tone became stern: "Xinyue, I agreed not to tell His Highness for now, considering I’ve known you for so many years, but if you keep hiding it, not telling him about your pregnancy, I won’t continue to cover for you."

Chu Xinyue hurriedly said: "I know, Doctor Han, please give me a little more time, I will definitely tell him."

"Two days at most, if you still don’t tell him, I’ll personally inform His Highness." Doctor Han gave the final ultimatum.

Chu Xinyue helplessly replied: "Alright."

Only then did Doctor Han hang up the phone.

She put down the phone, walked back to the room in silence, feeling slightly confused.

On one hand, she wondered how to break the news to Ya Chen in such a situation, on the other, the disappointment that the call wasn’t from him lingered in her heart.

For so many days, he showed no concern for her, as if she didn’t exist at all, how could she possibly approach him in this situation?

Finally managing to fall asleep, she was soon woken up by Xiaotao coming in.

She rubbed her eyes and grumbled: "What is it, Xiaotao."

"Look at the news." Xiaotao handed over a glowing tablet, her face full of anger.

On the screen was an entertainment news item.

The content was very eye-catching:

"Jade Girl Lan Yurou sidelined by her company following a mistress scandal, unseen for a long time. Yesterday, she was spotted shopping in a supermarket by passersby, completely unflustered by her career setback, appearing glamorous and composed. Furthermore, she was accompanied by a household maid, shopping in the maternity and baby section, suspected to be pregnant! After receiving the news, reporters reached out to her agent to ask if Lan Yurou was pregnant, but there has been no response so far."

"She’s staying at the Ya Family, what could she possibly lack? How could she need to go to the supermarket herself? Isn’t this done deliberately?" Xiaotao was so furious her face turned red. "And she still dodged questions, isn’t this intentionally letting others assume she definitely is?"

Chu Xinyue’s eyes flickered as she put down the tablet.

She had known from the start that Lan Yurou wouldn’t quietly behave after moving into the Ya Family, there would certainly be more tricks, but she didn’t expect such quick developments.

Perhaps seeing Lan Yurou’s news completely wiped away Chu Xinyue’s sleepiness.

She always felt that Lan Yurou would have more tricks up her sleeve, leaving her restless all afternoon.

Until late afternoon, she casually picked up the tablet to scroll through Weibo, seeing a timely news alert pop up.

"This evening, actress Lan Yurou will hold a press conference at Tiss Hotel to announce her withdrawal from the entertainment industry."

Yesterday, she was "accidentally" spotted by passersby leisurely shopping in the maternity section with a maid, and today she’s holding a press conference to quit the industry...

Chu Xinyue pressed a cold smile to her lips, understanding Lan Yurou’s motive.

On one hand, it shows she’s distancing herself from her past to please Ya Qianhuai.

On the other hand, her withdrawal could lead the public to speculate she’s clinging to the Ya Family, and with the news of her shopping in the maternity section yesterday, people would easily speculate she might be using pregnancy to secure her place.

Having a child for the Ya Family, and quitting the entertainment circle, would naturally draw all outside attention to the Ya Family.

This was leveraging public opinion, forcing the Ya Family to accept her.

A perfect double-edged attack.

Xiaotao apparently saw the news too, storming in without even knocking: "Outrageous!"

Chu Xinyue’s face was as calm as clouds, sitting by the bed she spoke: "Xiaotao. Tell the driver to get the car ready."

Even if she’d moved back to the Chu Family, Lan Yurou wouldn’t be allowed to stir up trouble there.

****

Tiss Hotel.

As night fell, many news vans gathered at the steps below.

The banquet hall arranged for the press conference was brightly lit with crystal chandeliers, the marble floor shiny and eye-catching.

The audience was filled with journalists from various media outlets, with recording equipment ready, waiting somewhat restlessly for today’s main character.

Since the mistress scandal, this Jade Girl Lan had been engulfed in a media storm, unable to make a recovery, disappearing from the public eye for a long time.

Her sudden reappearance today was to announce her departure from the entertainment industry, no wonder the reporters flocked over!

Lan Yurou’s agent, representing her, sat on the rostrum and said:

"Thank you all for attending Yurou’s press conference tonight. Next, please let Miss Lan personally announce tonight’s notice." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

An employee from the agency drew back the backstage curtain.

Lan Yurou wore a light yellow dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, walked out gracefully, still appearing gentle and demure, just like her public image before.

Shutter sounds immediately filled the room, all directed at Lan Yurou on stage, crackling loudly.

Lan Yurou sat next to her agent, adjusted the microphone, and softly said: "The purpose of today’s press conference is to officially announce to everyone that I, Lan Yurou, am withdrawing from the entertainment industry effective immediately. Thank you to media friends and fans for years of love and appreciation, without you, there would be no me today. Even if I don’t make movies or release records in the future, I will always remember how much you cared for me."

The reporters immediately erupted in noise:

"Yurou, since the incident some time ago, you haven’t appeared in public, and now you suddenly announce your retirement, have you already found a backer? Is it the Ya Family?"

"Yesterday, a passerby photographed you going to the supermarket with a maid. Are you... living at the Ya Family now?"

"According to passersby and store clerks, you were shopping in the maternity section yesterday, could you be pregnant?"

"Yurou, are you pregnant and about to marry into the Ya Family?"

In S Country, freedom of speech means the media are the uncrowned kings, they have the right to question the Royal Family and the Prime Minister’s office, but usually the journalists show respect, not daring to ask such questions.

That’s why for the past two years, Lan Yurou’s rumored affair with the crown prince hadn’t reached the public ear.

But now it’s different if Lan Yurou were indeed pregnant and moved into the Royal Family, clearly gaining their favor, with the crown princess’s position possibly changing. Such sensational news, the on-site journalists couldn’t hold back, exploding into chaos!
