Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama Chapter 220

Chapter 220 - Causing A Stir Again (1)

At the press conference, Fu Bainian clarified everything, and Lan Jinyao didn’t say a word . Before this, she’d still harboured a grudge against Lan Xin, but at this moment, she no longer felt so . Instead, she secretly pitied Lan Xin in her heart . Although the truth was revealed, Lan Xin was, without doubt, pushed into the abyss of hell .

The questions asked by the reporters were sharp and incisive, but Fu Bainian answered all of them in detail .

Amidst the questioning, a reporter suddenly directed a question towards Lan Jinyao, who’d remained silent the entire time . “Meimei, how come you haven’t said a word until now?”

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Lan Jinyao’s mind .  Why did the reporter suddenly ask that? She couldn’t even ward off the question; he’d left her with no choice but to answer .

Fu Bainian’s gaze also fell on her, and upon seeing her in a daze, he softly called out to her .

“Meimei…”

Lan Jinyao returned to her senses, and took a deep breath before flashing her signature smile; she beamed elegantly and sweetly at the reporters in front of her .

“This kind of experience has made me somewhat unhappy, and I really didn’t expect that I would encounter such an incident in my life . The feeling of being framed by someone is quite awful, especially since that person is a good friend of mine . As to why Lan Xin committed murder…”

Speaking up to this point, Lan Jinyao suddenly paused .  She knew that Lan Xin did that to avenge her sister . Lan Xin had deliberately planned everything step by step, and ultimately killed Shen Wei’an . However, in the face of so many reporters at this moment, she couldn't say it .

Everyone subconsciously held their breath and waited for her answer .

After what felt like an eternity, Lan Jinyao took a deep breath, and unhurriedly added, “It may be because the feud between two of them was too deep, and Lan Xin couldn’t endure it anymore, so she killed Shen Wei’an . I believe that Lan Xin must be regretting her actions immensely right now, as after losing her cool, she committed such an awful deed due to a moment of impulse . ”

As she was speaking, Fu Bainian loosened his hand around her waist and gave her a slight push forward to stand in front of the microphone .

“I’ve asked you all here today to reveal the truth of this matter so that you can write your reports based on facts and not groundless claims . As for Meimei’s involvement, her name has already been cleared by the police . ”

Lan Jinyao listened absentmindedly as she stared at the group of people in front of her . Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure amongst the crowd and froze .

They were standing on an elevated platform, so she could clearly see who was standing below .

At that moment, Lan Jinyao felt as if someone was strangling her, making her unable to breathe . That man’s cold, piercing gaze made her break out in a cold sweat, and she subconsciously shifted her gaze elsewhere . She didn’t even have time to restrain her emotions under everyone’s watchful eyes .

Fortunately, the press conference would end soon .

When Lan Jinyao looked down again, that person was no longer there . She could only see unfamiliar faces; that familiar face was nowhere to be seen . However, Lan Jinyao was certain that what she’d seen earlier wasn’t an illusion .

When the press conference was over, Lan Jinyao left with Fu Bainian . However, she was still feeling uneasy; she scanned her surroundings to check if there were any suspicious people around . However, every passer-by looked normal, and there was nothing out of the ordinary .

At that moment, an outrageous thought suddenly flashed in her mind .

“Fu Bainian, Shen Wei’an previously faked her death . Do you think that Jiang Cheng would do the same?”

Lan Jinyao gripped Fu Bainian’s hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly .

“Why are you abruptly asking that?” Fu Bainian got in the car, but he didn’t start it yet . Instead, he turned and stared at her with a solemn expression .

Lan Jinyao shook her head . “I don’t know…just now, at the press conference, I-I think I saw him there, but I’m not sure if it was him . ”

That man’s existence was a nightmare to Lan Jinyao and Fu Bainian; one that lingered and refused to disperse .

“Jinyao, don’t worry . Let’s not think about those things for now . When we get home, just take a good rest . Afterwards, I’ll investigate Jiang Cheng’s death, and we can see whether he faked it or not . ”

Lan Jinyao nodded, leaned against the car seat, and slowly closed her eyes . However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t erase that cold, piercing gaze she’d seen earlier from her mind .

Soon, Lan Jinyao fell asleep in the car . In her dream, she lay on a hospital bed, and she was watching her child slowly leave her body . Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was staring at her with his cold and gloomy eyes . She struggled to wake up, but she seemed to be chained and unable to open her eyes, no matter how hard she tried .

At last, her clenched fist landed on Jiang Cheng, and she abruptly opened her eyes .

Lan Jinyao realised at that moment that her fist had landed on Fu Bainian, and not Jiang Cheng . Their car was currently parked in the courtyard, and Fu Bainian was staring at her with a worried look on his face .

“Meimei, just now…you were shouting Jiang Cheng’s name in your sleep!”

Lan Jinyao covered her face and cried . “Fu Bainian, I’m in so much pain . Why didn’t he die?! Why is he still alive? I just dreamt that he’d made me lose our child again . I’m scared, Fu Bainian!”

Fu Bainian hurriedly got out of the car and proceeded to her side . He then quickly opened the door and scooped her out of the car .

“It’s okay, I’m with you . This time, I’ll stay with you no matter what happens . I won’t let you be taken away by that man . ” Fu Bainian hugged her tightly and buried his face close to hers . At this moment, tears visibly fell to the ground . It was unknown whether those tears belonged to Lan Jinyao or Fu Bainian .

Both Lan Jinyao and Fu Bainian decided to ignore Jiang Cheng’s existence altogether . They’d initially thought that this matter was over, but in fact, that traumatic experience had left a shadow in Lan Jinyao’s heart which couldn’t be erased for the rest of her life .

Lan Jinyao fell asleep again, and she was carefully carried to the bed . Fu Bainian wanted to go out, but as soon as he turned around, Lan Jinyao awoke once more . She quickly reached out and grabbed his hand .

“I’m scared!” she said in a slightly hoarse voice .

The look in her eyes appeared bottomless .

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll stay with you . I won’t leave,” when Fu Bainian finished speaking, he grabbed a chair and sat down by the side of the bed .

Their hands were tightly clasped, and Lan Jinyao felt a rush of warmth course through her veins . She then closed her eyes with her mind at ease .

This time, however, she could no longer fall asleep; she was worried that she would hurt Fu Bainian in her nightmare again .

The next day, Fu Bainian went out as usual . When Lan Jinyao awoke, the spot beside her was empty . She looked around nervously before getting off the bed . She then went to search for the phone number that was given to her by the Jiang family’s housekeeper during her last visit .

It took her awhile to find the number, but once it was in her hand, she quickly gave Jiang Baitao a call .

“Jiang Baitao, Jiang Cheng’s still alive, isn’t he?”

The person on the other end of the line didn’t speak for a long time, and with every passing second, Lan Jinyao felt the chill in her heart intensify .
