Chapter 1674: The Press Conference Will Proceed as Scheduled

The press conference arranged by Wen Haowen would proceed as scheduled!

The grand hall in the Wen Corporation building was filled to the brim with reporters and other members of the press. This was the first press conference being held since news broke of Wen Haowen abusing Ning Shuqian, her subsequent lawsuit against him, the exposure of their affairs and Ning Shuqian’s scandalous photos and videos. As a result, this press conference had attracted a huge amount of attention within the media circles.

No one expected Wen Haowen to suddenly schedule a press conference at this point in time.

Everyone was furiously discussing the issue, with many different opinions being thrown into the fray. At the same time, they were also guessing Wen Haowen’s motive for holding this press conference.

At 2 pm in the afternoon, Wen Haowen appeared at the press conference accompanied by his secretary and lawyer.

All the cameras and videos immediately focused on him.

Wen Haowen was smartly turned out in a well-tailored black suit and looked every bit a member of the elite of high society. The crowd murmured. “A beast in human skin, a scum in refined clothing!”

Wen Haowen slowly took his seat on the stage. “Welcome all reporters. Thank you for attending today’s press conference.”

At this point, Wen Haowen was actually not as calm as he appeared. He could clearly feel everyone’s intense gaze, their curious expressions, and their quiet mutterings.

If he could, he would rather not face the media.

“The purpose of today’s press conference is to offer a response to news of my alleged abuse of my wife Ning Shuqian, which supposedly led to her miscarriage and near-loss of life.”

Wen Haowen’s first step was to clear his name regarding domestic abuse. He wanted to have the press cease their wild speculations and to dispel any negative notions the public had against him.

“I discovered my wife’s indiscretions purely by chance. Within a short three years, she had sexual relations not only with her ex-lover Zhang Hui but also with over a dozen other men.”

Everyone at present was beyond shocked at Wen Haowen’s comments about Ning Shuqian’s promiscuity.

She indeed had sexual relations with multiple men in those scandalous photos and videos.

“Ning Shuqian’s ex-lover, Zhang Hui, used her erotics photos and videos to blackmail me for a large sum of money. If I didn’t comply with his requests, he would release them all on the internet and completely destroy my dignity and that of the Wen Family’s, as well as make the Wen Corporation suffer heavy losses.”

Zhang Hui had indeed called him, but it was only after Ning Shuqian suffered her miscarriage and news had spread of it in the media. Zhang Hui had wanted to take advantage of that situation.

The reporters never expected there to be even more secrets within this entire affair.

Wen Haowen replayed Zhang Hui’s phone call to him. The boorish voice of Zhang Hui reverberating through the room proved Wen Haowen’s claims.

“At that time, I rushed home in a rage to confront Ning Shuqian. I never expected her to deny it all and insist that she had been framed. The two of us got into a scuffle. I didn’t know then that she was pregnant. After all, we had been married for over 20 years and she had never… and she herself didn’t know it either. In a moment of recklessness, our scuffle turned more intense, which led to the subsequent series of events.”

Wen Haowen looked extremely grim.

In contrast, the reporters all wore astounded expressions.

Wen Haowen clarified the matter of his domestic abuse toward Ning Shuqian and explained the conflict between him and his wife. It sounded very reasonable. After all, which man could endure discovering the fact that his wife had made him a cuckold and that her lover had even tried to threaten him.

Ning Shuqian had been fooling around outside for three years and then got pregnant?

Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen had been married for over 20 years and she had never managed to bear children. She had even gone through artificial insemination and eaten quite a bit of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs.

Did that child carry the blood of the Wen Family, or…

“I was very heartbroken after the entire affair. As a result, I requested for divorce and even offered her very advantageous terms. I even helped her settle Zhang Hui’s threats and tried to keep the entire matter under wraps. I never expected that she would actually…”

Wen Haowen didn’t finish his sentence. Wen Haowen’s earlier dignified silence, the contents of the divorce filings published by his lawyer, plus his reputation of being a loving husband—all the above gave grounds for the crowd to believe him.

“Another purpose of today’s press conference is to officially announce that Ning Shuqian and I will no longer be husband and wife and we no longer have anything to do with each other.”

Wen Haowen faced the reporters resolutely.

He bore an expression of intense pain to reflect his aching heart.

Following that, the reporters started firing their questions. “Mr. Wen, I don’t doubt your words, but please tell me, how do you intend to deal with your wife’s charges of intentional harm and attempted murder against you?”

As of now, Ning Shuqian’s lawsuit was the real topic of interest.

“I am currently communicating with Ms. Ning. If she is willing to withdraw her charges, the two of us can part amicably. This is the best outcome with no loss or damage to either of us. But if she insists on suing me, then I have no choice but to fight it out in court. Of course, I truly hope it will not come to this.”

Wen Haowen’s words were open and candid.

The reporters knew that if this matter went to court, the reputation of the Wen Family and the interests of the Wen Corporation would be severely affected. Even Wen Haowen’s own name would be completely destroyed.

Nevertheless, anyone with the slightest knowledge of law would know that Wen Haowen had a very high chance of winning the lawsuit.

“So, Mr. Wen, how do you explain Ms. Ning’s charges of adultery against you?” This husband and wife of the Wen Family were two of the same kind. As vicious as Ning Shuqian was, Wen Haowen might not be totally innocent.

“According to Ning Shuqian, your mistress is Yang Ziyu, the same woman whom you were involved with during your previous adultery scandal. Ning Shuqian also revealed that Yang Ziyu is already eight months pregnant. How do explain that?”

“Mr. Wen, when did you get together with Yang Ziyu? Was it before or after Ning Shuqian’s promiscuities?”

“Ning Shuqian has shown photos of a pregnant Yang Ziyu. Mr. Wen, do you plan to marry Yang Ziyu after the divorce, just like how you treated your ex-wife Mo Yunyao? It looks like you are reverting to your old ways?”

The reporters fired a barrage of questions regarding Wen Haowen’s adultery incident, refusing to let that matter rest.

Wen Haowen was momentarily at a loss for words. Although Ning Shuqian’s scandalous videos and photos were juicy news, it did not erase the fact that he had also committed adultery.

He was also at fault for having an extramarital affair.
