Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 916: Chapter 915: The Overseas Heir’s Ingratitude

In front of Shoucheng’s most upscale hotel, a red carpet stretched to the glass door.

At the end of the red carpet, luxury cars lined up, and various business figures arrived one after another. Numerous media rushed here, all carrying heavy cameras, competing to capture photos.

A black Lincoln car stopped, and all the journalists immediately swarmed over, scrambling for fear of missing the news point.

The bodyguard from the passenger seat got out of the car and quickly walked to the rear, opened the door respectfully, welcoming the owner to step out.

Gong Qingwan’s slender hand rested on the bodyguard’s white glove, her finger adorned with a sparkling diamond ring. She stood there, exuding a distinctive brilliance, elegant and composed.

’Click, click--’ The journalists hurriedly pressed the shutter, eager to capture a few stunning pictures immediately.

Gong Qingwan nodded in acknowledgment to them, a smile curved at her lips, appearing exceptionally approachable.

Seeing her pause, the journalists rushed forward, microphones in hand, beginning to ask questions.

”Mrs. Gong, we heard that the Li Family’s long-lost Eldest Young Master has returned. Is this true? Will you allow him to inherit the family business and assets?”

”Is the news reliable about the Eldest Young Master canceling his engagement? Has he fallen for someone else?”

”As Li Family’s company is expanding, will the Young Master choose to join the company?”

Various questions followed in succession, and members of the prominent family already understood the implications.

Usually, at such events, journalists come to conduct interviews, aiming to promote the family’s strength and influence. This is not an unusual occurrence. However, among these journalists, some are placed by the prominent families themselves, asking questions prompted in advance, which they wish to confirm.

Gong Qingwan smiled faintly, pressing her palm down to signal quiet, and said, ”Dear journalist friends, with so many questions, it’s truly hard to answer them all at once. Let’s just pick a few to respond to.”

She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and smiled, ”Indeed, the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family has returned and is already married, returning with his wife. Thank you for your concern, dear journalist friends. As for whether he will join the company, that depends on his personal choice; I won’t interfere much.”

Having said this very politely, Gong Qingwan did not overshadow others, but nodded slightly, and then walked away in her high heels.

However--

These words she said were more than enough to spur endless speculation among everyone.

Understandably, in the eyes of these journalists, already married is equivalent to canceling an engagement, which is undoubtedly tomorrow’s news headline.

The journalists wrote frantically, quickly recording Gong Qingwan’s words, ’Li Family Elder Son abandons fiancée for new love,’ and ’Returned eldest son, despite former promises, leaves Miss Lin waiting for years’ would certainly become news points.

Gong Qingwan’s maneuver was simply natural and flawless, leaving Li Yan, who was yet to arrive, no opportunity to counter, just planting landmines ahead.

Many prominent family members passing by witnessed this scene and shook their heads repeatedly.

Having a formidable matriarch like Gong Qingwan, the future of the stepson might not look promising, and thinking of this, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for Li Yan.

The number of people walking on the red carpet increased steadily, everyone wearing false smiles, accepting interviews from journalists, and answering questions that served their interest hypocritically.

’Zoom--’ a military green Jeep stopped at the other end of the red carpet, capturing everyone’s attention.

The Jeep bore a license plate from the Academy, and it was difficult to utilize unless one was a special personnel. However, given it was Madam Zhao’s banquet, they speculated a distinguished guest had arrived.
