The media reporters looked at Brian like a pack of prairie wolves looking at their only prey.
Joanne knew why.
In the past few days, rumors about Brian's life were rampant. Countless people waited for the media to confirm that Brian was the son of the city's hero back then, Lawyer Lu.
If so, this will be another fascinating piece of gossip.
Joanne suddenly understood why Brian specifically instructed her before he went up that no matter what he had to face next, she should not panic.
He had known that this was the situation that awaited him.
However, she still wanted to rush to Brian's side and grab his hand tightly, at least letting him know that his side was not empty.
On the stage, Brian's gaze crossed over the crowd of reporters and landed on Joanne.
Under the light, Joanne was quiet and out of the world, beautiful and moving.
Brian looked at her, the corner of his lips raised in an almost imperceptible arc, signaling her to feel at ease.
Joanne gently nodded, looking at Brian for an instant.
Brian simply said a few words to welcome Gavin's return, and next, the media interview session.
The reporters had been waiting for this session for a long time, and once Brian's words fell, almost everyone raised their hands.
Brian looked around and signaled for the Tang Family Magazine reporter to ask a question.
The reporter disregarded Brian's friendship with their boss and threw out sharp and direct questions:
"Mr. Lambert, the rumor on the internet is that you are Lawyer Lu's son. May I ask if it's true?"
Fifteen years have passed since Brian's father's car accident.
For a moment he thought that the incident had drowned in the rhythm of the times and would never be spoken of again.
After he returned to China, he also tried not to show up in front of the media, never took the initiative to talk about his origins, most people thought he was born and raised in the United States.
However, it is an undeniable fact that his father is Lawyer Lu.
Since Rowdy had already stabbed the matter through, there was nothing for him to deny.
Everyone on the stage, including the employees of the Lu Group, were all looking forward to Brian's answer.
Brian moved his thin lips and spat out a word,"Yes."
"Hiss..."
A backward intake of breath sounded from the stage.
The banquet hall, which was silent the last second, this moment, all kinds of whispers resounded around.
This is something that really surprises everyone.
All the voices were full of shock.
Over the past ten years, the matter of Lawyer Lu is still often mentioned, and the older generation very much lamented his wife and children.
However, in reality, Mr. Lambertk's wife and son did not die by suicide.
Not only that, Brian, the only son of the lawyer Lu, has developed a business empire in Arlington, and his achievements are even better than those of Lu Lu back then.
The reporter reacted quickly and asked immediately after, "Mr. Lambert, then why have you been hiding your identity?"
Brian denied, "I just didn't mention it."
"So what happened when the media broke the story that your mother took you to her death? Why were your shoes on the beach? Was this an illusion you created on purpose?"
The reporter couldn't wait to throw all the questions to Brian in his head, dissecting out the secrets in Brian's body for all to see.
Brian was noncommittal and handled the reporter with ease, "There are some special reasons for this, I'm not at liberty to disclose them for the time being, I'm sorry." He doesn't give the reporter a chance to pursue the question and directly names another reporter, "Next question."
The reporter knows Brian's style too well and doesn't dare to stalk him and ask questions, so he can only turn to ask some other irrelevant questions.
It's the only way this interview can continue.
Brian is calm, methodically answering reporters' questions one by one, and it looks like the events of that year no longer have any effect on him.
Only Joanne knew that his blandness was actually a kind of armament.
Finally, the reporter asked about Brian and Joanne's budding relationship since they were teenagers:
"Mr. Lambert, you have said more than once that you and Mrs. Lambert have known each other since they were children, exactly fifteen years to date, this length of time is the same as the time your father died, is this ... just a coincidence?"
"It's not a coincidence." Brian frankly gave the reporter's expected answer, "After my father's death, I then met Joanne, and I think ... this is the arrangement of fate."
"So, when you were most upset, it was Mrs. Lambert who was by your side, right?" The reporter asked again.
"That's right." Brian mused for half a second and then said, "So, in the future, I will always accompany Joanne."
The crowd was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food, and the entire atmosphere of the ballroom was changed.
Joanne, who stood at the front, instantly collected the gazes of the entire banquet hall, half of which were blessings and the other half were envy.
Joanne pursed the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, not looking at the others, but just looking at Brian who had a gentle gaze on the stage.
She was at ease when Brian was there.
Daisy came out at the right time and said with a smile, "Thank you for Mr. Lambert's speech, Mr. Lambert and Mrs. Lambert's relationship is really ... enviable! However, our protagonist today is Vice President Shen oh-"
Next, Gavin was pushed onto the stage.
Gavin's condition, as well as the relationship between him and Wendy, and his path to promotion at Lu's, all of which are great material to be dug up.
The reporter was nonchalant and threw out all kinds of sharp questions, and Gavin answered them one by one in a witty way, not only coping with the reporter, but also causing the crowd on the stage to laugh happily.
In terms of playing Tai Chi, the reporter could never be Gavin's opponent.
In the end, the reporter was flirted with by Gavin and was speechless, while Gavin on the stage, spirited and happy.
Wendy looked at Gavin and wanted to laugh a little, but her eyes were inexplicably a little moist.
When the reporters asked about Gavin's condition without any fear, they didn't even think about what Gavin had gone through during that time of treatment. They don't even know that there were several times when Gavin almost couldn't open his eyes anymore. The last surgery, Gavin even walked back from the door of the ghost.
They only wanted to pick open Gavin's wounds to please the audience, but never thought about how deeply Gavin had been hurt.
Even so, Gavin is still a look of indifference, should smile and laugh, should snicker where snicker, for once happened to him hurt and trials never mention.
Wendy finally understood why Gavin always looked like he was having no trouble.
Because he never spoke of his sweat and scars to outsiders.
Such Gavin, amusing others, made her feel like crying.
Joanne noticed Wendy's abnormality and squeezed her hand, "Wendy, those things are in the past, don't think about it. You and Gavin will only get better and better in the future."
"Uh-huh!" Wendy sniffled and nodded, "I have nothing to be sad about!"
"Right." Joanne's voice was soft and gentle, "You have to remember that you're Gavin's wife, when there's media on the scene, you have to always maintain perfect grooming and not let the media catch you with any flaws or handles, so that when they want to write about you, they can only praise you it's a kind of support for Gavin. "
Wendy understood what Joanne meant.
Gavin was already the vice president of Lu Group, and from now on, her every word and action would be linked to Gavin.
Therefore, Joanne wanted her to be strict and not make any mistakes in front of the media so that she could be the perfect Mrs. Shen.
Wendy's surprise was not Joanne's request to her, but she finally realized that the original Joanne was requesting this of herself.
She recalled that every time the gossip magazines mentioned Joanne, in addition to sighing at her luck, they could only praise Joanne, her "divine face", her clothes, and her cleverness....
In short, under the media's pen, Joanne was a perfect goddess.
As it turned out, it was because Joanne had never made a mistake in front of the media, and the media simply couldn't find any attackable loopholes in her.
Wendy looked at Joanne with even more admiration, and solemnly declared, "Cousin, from today onwards, I'm going to learn well from you!"
Joanne smiled, "Aren't you about to start your graduate program? It's better to go and study well with your teacher."
"Hey, yeah." Wendy then remembered the main event, "I'm almost ready to report to school!"
Shortly after Gavin's successful surgery, Wendy received an acceptance letter from the school.
She still decided to go black on the road of medicine and continue her education to become an excellent cardiac surgeon, not inferior to Gavin too much!
Twenty minutes later, Gavin's interview ended with thunderous applause and the reception officially began.
Brian and Wesley each carried a glass of wine and walked to a corner of the banquet hall.
Wesley shook the red wine in his glass while looking at Brian,"Have you ever thought about what you'll have to face after disclosing your birth?"
Brian looked cloudy, "I've thought about it and prepared for it." He mused for a moment and then continued, "My life, sooner or later, will be exposed. Exposing it at this time, in addition to causing an uproar, there might be other effects."
Mousie asked with interest, "What does it do?"
"Wait." Brian laughed, a few hints of mystery in his smile, "You'll know soon enough."
Wesley made an expectant look, clinked glasses with Brian in tacit agreement, and said, "Yuna is alone in the hospital, I don't feel at ease, so I'll go first."
After Brian sent MuWesley away, he turned back to the banquet hall to look for Joanne, and in the meantime, he told her about the fact that MuWesley had already left.
"I knew that Wesley wouldn't stay long." Joanne thought about it and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, if you have time, let's go to Wesley's house together to see Yuna, okay?"
Of course Brian wouldn't refuse and said, "I'll free up the afternoon."
Joanne happily took Brian's hand, "Good."
At this point, they don't know what's going to happen tomorrow ...
