Chapter 220: Chapter 225: A Press Conference Full of Twists and Turns (5)

Lu Niange’s peripheral vision swept over Ling Momo’s tranquil and beautiful profile, and for a moment, his expression faltered. After a brief pause, he slowly began to speak the words that would determine Ling Momo’s fate.

"I don’t know."

With Lu Niange’s words, everyone in the hall miraculously froze in shock.

Ling Momo’s eyes widened, and she turned her head to look at Lu Niange, her eyes filled with intense bewilderment.

What did he say? He said he didn’t know?

Hadn’t everything been arranged by ES? He was supposed to say that they were friends, that friends meet occasionally, and it should be no big deal.

How could he say he didn’t know?

The color drained from Ling Momo’s lips, bit by bit, and her fingertips began to tremble finely.

Even Li Qingshen, who had been sitting quietly beside Ling Momo as if he was non-existent, suddenly raised his head. His dignified and handsome face instantly turned icy cold, and his deep, beautiful eyes gradually filled with a frosty hue.

Lu Niange actually hadn’t followed the script he had been instructed to say?

He had the audacity to change his stance, unilaterally, during the press conference at such a critical moment?

While Jian Chenxi sat expressionless on the side, upon hearing Lu Niange’s words like this, a calm began to settle in the depths of her heart.

She knew that this time, she had won for sure!

The scene fell silent for a full five minutes before the reporters began to react, hurriedly taking up their pens to record the events on paper.

Even their expressions were tinged with excitement and shock.

They had never seen a press conference like this, where the statements of the scandal’s female and male leads were completely different!

"Mr. Lu Niange, you say you don’t know how Miss Ling Momo learned the address of your villa, but Miss Ling Momo says she’s just an ordinary friend of yours. So, I would like to ask Mr. Lu Niange, is Miss Ling Momo really just a friend to you?"

This question was sharp and crucial.

As it was asked, everyone held their breath, and the reporters, pens in hand, watched intently, waiting for Lu Niange’s response.

Ling Momo’s fingertips had already begun to feel cold, and her complexion was as pale as a sheet of paper, but she forced herself to remain calm.

She had a vague premonition that Lu Niange was deliberate, that he had done this on purpose at today’s press conference!

Yet, deep down, she still harbored a faint hope... She and he had once been boyfriend and girlfriend, together for nearly two years. He wouldn’t disregard their past affection for Jian Chenxi, would he...

Ling Momo clenched her hands and turned her head to look at Lu Niange, who, at that moment, also looked towards her.

Their eyes met.

Ling Momo’s eyes appeared calm, but were laced with intense nervousness.

Lu Niange’s gaze was still gentle, and it hesitated for a moment when it met Ling Momo’s. He had seen the panic and worry in the girl’s eyes.

His heart suddenly trembled.

Jian Chenxi, witnessing this scene, her eyes flickered subtly before she naturally moved her hand from the table. She silently reached out to Lu Niange’s knee and gently grasped his hand.

Lu Niange’s figure stiffened momentarily, then he returned to his senses. When he saw Jian Chenxi’s delicate and soft smiling face, the words she had spoken last night, with tears in her eyes, flooded his mind, and his heart instantly became a tangled mess.
