As she was deciding whether she should accept the call, the phone stopped ringing and she sighed softly in relief. The next second, the phone started ringing again, as if the caller had infinite patience and wouldn’t give up until she accepted the call.

 Sighing again, she pressed on the green icon on the phone and held it to her ear. “Hey, Brother Jiang.”

 “I’m waiting outside Gu Building, you come out.”

 Gu Xiqiao was surprised at how he returned to N City all of a sudden and pursed her lips slightly. “I don’t think I can do that now.”

 “Come out right now, I’ve already sent in someone to escort you.” Then, Jiang Shuxuan immediately hung up the phone, not giving her a chance to refuse.

 Gu Xiqiao stared at the phone in her hand dazedly before coming back to her senses, her heart beating wildly. Opening the door, she saw that the assistant had disappeared, and was replaced with a tall man that wore a pair of sunglasses.

 In the end, Jiang Shuxuan was leagues more important than Gu Xijin, so Gu Xiqiao compromised.

 She walked out Gu Building without any obstacles, and she couldn’t help but muse internally about how crazy it was that she was going to abandon the press conference like this. Thankfully, she could get the system spirit to upload all the evidence onto the internet, and Gu Xiqiao would be able to get what she deserved either way.

 Meanwhile, Gu Building was plunged into chaos as the star of the show disappeared, and Gu Zuhui shouted at the assistant that was lowering his head in guilt. “Can’t you people keep an eye on a single young girl? Are all the years you lived just for show? The press conference has started, so you don’t need to look for her, but remember! Gu Xiqiao has already been banished from the Gu family!”

 The assistant looked up at him in shock, and upon seeing that Gu Zuhui didn’t seem like he was joking, he nodded and slinked away to prepare for the press conference.

 The assistant walked up the stage after tidying himself up, and immediately he was flooded by a barrage of questions.

 “What is the truth of the stolen painting?”

 “Was Gu Xiqiao’s mother the porn star Wen Xi? Why did the Gu family allow an illegitimate daughter to join the family?”

 “Do the two sisters have a bad relationship? Why did she steal her painting?”

 “Will Miss. Gu come out and explain for herself?”

 “…”

 These questions were all so pointed that the assistant was startled, were they all not afraid of getting on the Gu family’s bad side?

 He didn’t have much time to spare when there were so many cameras aimed at him, so he spoke, “Please quiet down, everyone. Today is the day Miss. Gu is going to apologize publicly, but first I have news to report! From this day onwards, Gu Xiqiao is no longer…”

 The assistant hadn’t finished his sentence before he was cut off by someone who spoke up from the crowd. “Please wait.”

 All of the cameras panned over to the person that spoke up, and some of the reporters seemed to recognize this person and started muttering to the people around them.

 “I’m sorry for being late, I was caught in traffic, you see.” The one that spoke up was a middle-aged man that was wearing a tidy suit and had a square face that was smiling at all the reporters. Two buff men in suits came forward and nudged the assistant away, while the man walked up to the stage. “Before we continue, I’d like everyone to take a look at a few videos.”
