Never did Ye Lanchen think that he would meet Chu Wuyou again after five years.
Recovered? Really?
She had indeed changed after five years. She stared blankly into space unlike five years ago.
She appeared to be a bit terrified after being surrounded by reporters without warning. She hunched her back slightly and seemed to shudder like a frightened rabbit.
"Words can kill in today's society." Secretary Liu was disheartened by this sight and began to defend Chu Wuyou."Are these reporters going to drive First Young Lady Chu insane or even make her kill herself by surrounding her and asking such invasive questions?"
"The most terrifying type of people these days are the reporters. Even the toughest and most courageous person won't be able to handle such a situation, let alone Miss Chu who has just recovered." Secretary Liu voiced his own opinion but he seemed to be saying it for somebody.
The President was after all so concerned about First Young Lady Chu's background.
Ye Lanchen's gaze was as still as water. He did not falter. 𝒇𝒓ℯewe𝒃𝓷o𝘃𝒆𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
It was proven five years ago that Chu Wuyou was not the woman he was looking for. In that case, he had nothing to do with her.
Ye Lanchen only swept his gaze across the crowd without lingering onto Chu Wuyou. He then continued to walk forward. His decision to pause in his tracks earlier seemed to be just an illusion.
Secretary Liu was taken aback. Nonetheless, he did not say anything but followed after Ye Lanchen. He could not comprehend the President's thoughts.
The reporters on the first floor became more hysterical as they formed a tight barrier around Chu Wuyou. She could not even turn around at this point.
More and more people stopped to look and their remarks became more hurtful.
"Miss Chu, if you don't respond, I presume you agree to what we said?" A reporter badgered her.
As soon as the reporter finished her question, she purposefully directed the subject to the crowd of onlookers without even giving Chu Wuyou a chance to speak.
"Can she even deny what she has done?"
"Yeah, she's so disgusting! She's hideous to begin with, and shameless and cruel too! No wonder the He family backed out of the marriage."
The nasty comments from the crowd filled the mall.
Chu Wuyou wore the same pair of thick glasses and her face was still covered in freckles. She had done something to the corners of her eyes and skin that made her look the same as before and unattractive.
"I heard that First Young Lady Chu is mentally ill. Is she fully recovered now?" After clamoring about the subject of abortion, the same reporter now began to focus on Chu Wuyou's mental illness. The reporter's remarks had malicious intent.
The reporter did not expect Chu Wuyou to respond to her remarks.
"Eh?" After thinking long and hard, Chu Wuyou answered firmly."Not yet."
Another reporter placed a microphone in front of Chu Wuyou just as she responded, which made her voice heard throughout the mall.
Everybody in the mall was horrified. No one imagined that Chu Wuyou would say that she had not recovered yet.
Ye Lanchen stopped walking once more. He did not stop because of Chu Wuyou's reply, but because of the underlying emotion in her voice.
Frustration could be heard in her voice. Nonetheless, Ye Lanchen sensed a different sort of emotion in that voice for some unknown reason, and he believed that his mind was not playing tricks with him.
His gaze fell on Chu Wuyou again.
