“I know, then you’ll be asking, since they already knew the truth, why the decision to take away the child? Why wouldn’t they just come out with the truth?

“That’s because…” Song Menghwa paused to glare once more at Su Zhinian with vengeance in his eyes. “…my son is serious commitment-phobe!”

Su Zhinian, who was suddenly branded a commitment-phobe, didn’t even blink once. As he stared at Song Menghwa, his expression didn’t change one bit.

“I’ve long known my son has a person he loved, but he refused to tell me because he was afraid that I was going to force him to get married. But now, there’s a baby on the way, and he has the audacity to ask my daughter to go for an abortion. Tell me, how can I not get angry?

“Because of that, I lost control of my temper earlier…”

Song Menghwa chuckled.

The atmosphere in the hall slowly reverted to normal following Song Menghwa’s explanation. Some of the elder CEOs in the crowd nodded understandingly at Song Menghwa. Song Empire had been founded by Song Menghwa with his own two hands. Even though his health had been deteriorating in recent years, it didn’t mean that he wasn’t a careful and calculative thinker.

Also, based on what they knew of Song Menghwa, his reaction after finding out about the abortion was ultimately understandable because it did fit his personality. He was someone who would care so deeply about his grandchild.

Of course, that was only part of the truth. The reason Song Menghwa did all that was to muddle everyone’s focus and to take the harsh spotlight away from the relationship between Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian. This enabled him to repackage their relationship in a more acceptable way.

“Of course, there is a last question that remains to be explained.

“In the recording just now, there was talk of congenital abnormalities for the child between biological siblings…” As Song Menghwa said that, his brain started to spin. “That wasn’t completely true. As all of you know, this daughter of mine is a news-anchor, half an entertainer so to speak. The girl loves acting and always ropes her family into doing skits with her. If I’m not mistaken, that recording was merely a collection of the many playful skits between my son and daughter; it’s not real. If you don’t believe me, those who have the recorded audio, please play it for all of us. That recording was obviously manufactured.”

One of the reporters did follow Song Menghwa’s instruction. Due to the explosive nature of the revelation, many had overlooked the details. However, with Song Menghwa’s reminder, after listening to the audio for the second time, they realized that there were indeed many parts of conversations that had obviously been snipped and cut.

“He’s right…”

“Indeed, they were still talking about being lucky, but all of the sudden, there’s talk about an abortion in Shanghai.”

“This audio has definitely been tweaked.”

As the crowd discussed this discovery among themselves, Song Menghwa came out to conclude this sudden revelation. “As all of us know, business trade is like a war. I believe some malicious party intentionally recorded my children’s little acting skits to manufacture this travesty to attack Song Empire’s reputation. We will hand this incident over to the police. We’ll definitely get to the bottom of this and get the real culprit to answer to everyone, including, of course, the Song family!”

Worried that Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun, who had morphed into statues, would undermine his explanation, after Song Menghwa got down from stage, he immediately hauled the two stupefied statues upstairs using the excuse that they needed to nurse Su Zhinian’s injuries.
