Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Obedient

Qin Jiran understood Su Yanyi’s intentions and also knew that this matter couldn’t be kept secret. Although he didn’t want to have anything to do with the Qin family, now that it had come to this, evasion was no longer a solution. Just as Su Yanyi said, attack was indeed the best method.

"Let’s do as you say, I’ll also be prepared, immediately hold a press conference to publicly declare my disconnection with the Qin family," Qin Jiran said decisively. Since the matter couldn’t be kept secret, this was the only way he could express his stance.

"Very well, I’ll tell mom now," Su Yanyi said with appreciation, looking at Qin Jiran. To cut ties when necessary was truly the dignity a man should have.

Dragon Media truly lived up to its reputation as a leader in the media industry. Despite the hasty preparation, the effect they achieved was extremely satisfying. Compared with Wang Media and Tiansheng Media, which were manipulated by the Wang Family, Dragon Media was undoubtedly superior.

The headline from Dragon Media read "Lord Best Actor’s Secret," simple yet atmospheric and enough to attract attention, while the subtitle was "Lord Best Actor Qin Jiran’s exclusive interview about the mystery of his heritage," drawing even more people in to glimpse the truth.

Wang Media and Tiansheng Media, on the other hand, leaned towards sensationalism with vulgar headlines—illegitimate child, wealthy playboy, rising to power through a woman—all were written up, attracting many readers. However, most considered such news as gossip, and few believed it. Moreover, Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi’s recent public display of affection made many readers scoff at the absurdity of these contents.

By contrast, more readers were willing to follow reports by the mainstream media, Dragon Media. Although the headlines were not as sensational, the lack of sensationalism made it seem more real and reliable, especially the exclusive interview indicated in the subtitle, which made many lean towards Dragon Media’s reporting without having to choose.

In reality, the three media outlets reported the same thing, fundamentally concerning the relationship between Qin Jiran and the Qin family. Qin Jiran, as an abandoned illegitimate child, had to pay a great price to achieve his status and success today. Dragon Media approached the story from this angle, building Qin Jiran word by word into a hard-working, top ten honorable man, and only then wove in some family issues.

There was a segment in the report about family, asking Qin Jiran’s view on family. Qin Jiran spoke candidly.

"I’m an orphan, abandoned by family at an orphanage since I was young. As a child, I would wonder why I didn’t have a family, but as I grew older, I didn’t have the time to think about it. I focused more on trying to live a hardworking life, especially after marrying Yanyi. I never thought about those things again because I have my own family now. Those who abandoned me, regardless of their reasons, I don’t want to dwell on or pay attention to them."

"Rumors say your father is a wealthy man. If that’s true, what would you do about it?" the journalist asked.

"No matter who he is, the moment he abandoned me, he had nothing to do with me. Or perhaps, if he were a beggar or someone unable to take care of himself, I might still fulfill my duty to support the elderly. Otherwise, I hope we can leave each other alone."

"Aren’t you being too heartless, Lord Best Actor? After all, they are your parents," the journalist pressed on as planned.

"Parents who abandon their children have no right to talk about feelings. If I have a child, unless I die, for no reason will I let him grow up in an orphanage." Whether it’s called heartless or indifferent, Qin Jiran never thought that parents who could abandon their own child deserved the right to be his parents!

This segment of the interview spread rapidly. Although not all commentary was positive and a small portion felt Qin Jiran was too cold, most people supported him, and the public always leans towards the underdog. Being an abandoned orphan was enough to keep Qin Jiran in an unassailable position.

Compared with Dragon Media’s report, the other two outlets’ reports on Qin Jiran’s background appeared exaggerated and over-dramatized, like the stories of Qin Jiran climbing up the ranks as the illegitimate child of a rich family, marrying a wealthy heiress to seek revenge, or the denigration of his identity as an illegitimate child. Although each word could provoke a lot of discussion, in the end, the media ended up being criticized.

Here, Qin Jiran’s fan team’s strength must be mentioned. Following the reports from Wang Media and Tiansheng Media, Qin Jiran’s fans immediately launched a protest, from Qin Jiran’s official website to the official websites of the two media companies. The momentum of the group protest grew larger and larger.

At first, Wang Media and Tiansheng Media didn’t take it too seriously—as entertainment reports often provoke fan protests, so they didn’t care and didn’t respond. This inaction led to both companies’ networks being hacked by a hacker.

[Those who defame Lord Best Actor shall be shown no mercy!]This is ferocious Little Black.

[Trashy media, trashy reports, trashy morals!]This is an angry Little Black!

[Boycott all unrealistic statements, please be responsible to society, media!]This is rational Little Black!

[Return my innocence!]This is comic Little Black!

Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran were always watching the developments from all sides, and seeing such results, they weren’t sure whether they should thank the fans for their unwavering support or feel a headache over their fans’ ferociousness.

"If I ever bully you, would your fans hack the company’s official website as well?" Su Yanyi asked very seriously.

At that moment, both of them were in Su Yanyi’s office. Kang Zhong, Pan Yan, and Jiang Xiaobin were all busy on the side. Su Yanyi did not lower her voice deliberately, and everyone heard her, with expressions immediately turning quite strange.

Qin Jiran’s face also turned a tad red, looking at Su Yanyi with an expression caught between tears and laughter, discovering more and more that Su Yanyi occasionally acted abnormally, with such imaginative thoughts that he never knew how to respond to.

"I won’t tell them," Qin Jiran said after some thought, knowing that Su Yanyi was teasing him, but he still answered quite seriously.

Su Yanyi raised an eyebrow, looking at the man’s serious demeanor, and suddenly stretched out her hand, patting Qin Jiran on the head with a very Queen-like gesture, saying, "Good boy."

In an instant, the assistant trio couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Seeing the usually icy couple interact in such an interesting and cute way was both adorable and amusing, making them feel very affectionate while watching on the sidelines.
