Chapter 42: Direct Response
“Yu Yao, please answer my question directly…”
“Do you feel any guilt?”
“May I ask when these photos were taken?”
“Do you have any secret fetishes?”
…
Facing the swarming reporters, Yu Yao remained calm and collected. She stretched out her arm to gesture for the reporters to calm down.
Then, she took over the microphone and said calmly, “I know everyone is agitated, but there are probably countless people blocking the emergency exits right now. Even if I want to run, I can’t. So everyone, calm down and listen to my explanation…”
Not only were the reporters present, but even the tens of millions of netizens watching the live broadcast were puzzled by her calm attitude.
A reporter present voiced the thoughts of the netizens, “Yu Yao, why are you so indifferent? Is it because you have the Yu family as your backing, or is it because you completely gave up explaining yourself?”
“Your guesses are very interesting, but unfortunately, none of them are the reason.” Yu Yao shook her head. “The reason I’m so calm is because these photos are fake. The person on them is not me. I have no reason to panic.”
“These pictures are so clear. How can they be fake?”
The netizens also agreed with this reporter’s words. This was different from the scandalous photos of female celebrities that had been released in the past, because most of those photos had been taken under blurry lighting. Those blurry photos could be said to be fabricated, but such high-definition photos could not be fabricated at all.
Almost everyone was sure that these were just Yu Yao’s excuses.
However, Yu Yao took the tablet from a reporter and deliberately enlarged the photo to let the camera see more clearly.
Her long fingers tapped the area above the woman’s shoulder in the photo…
“Since I said that this photo was fake, of course, I have reasons to prove it. First, everyone can see this lady’s head and shoulders. If you compare them with mine carefully, you will realize that my shoulders are a little narrower than this lady’s…”
Then, Yu Yao’s fingers moved to the woman’s uncovered chest.
“Although I don’t want to admit it, everyone should be able to tell that I don’t have such a proud bust like this lady.”
The camera in the livestream censored the critical parts of the photo, but when the audience looked carefully, they indeed found that Yu Yao’s bust could not be compared to the one in the photo.
Some people already started to believe the evidence Yu Yao provided, but there were also netizens who expressed their doubts.
“Perhaps this photo was taken a long time ago. A person’s body will change. Yu Yao might have deliberately lost weight to make her body look different from in the photo.”
The reporters present had sharp eyes and saw this latest comment. A female reporter immediately repeated the contents of the comment.
Yu Yao nodded. “There is indeed a possibility of losing weight to cause body differences, but I have more evidence that can persuade everyone.”
She unlocked her phone and opened her photo gallery. In a specially built photo album, Yu Yao’s photos from when she was young till now were neatly arranged. She slowly scrolled through the photos to show them to the reporters and the netizens in the livestream.
She explained on the side, “Everyone knows that a person’s appearance changes slightly at different ages. I’m 18 years old now and I’m in the midst of rapid development. If you observe closely, you’ll notice that my face is changing over time.”
Yu Yao tapped open a photo with her finger. “This was taken two months ago. Everyone can clearly see that there was still some baby fat on my cheeks at that time. My chin wasn’t as sharp as it is now.”
Some of the people with faster reaction times understood what she meant. Yu Jue’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“Yaoyao, you’re so smart. I didn’t even think of that before.”
It was like facing a difficult problem and finally finding a solution. Yu Jue said excitedly, “The person’s face in the photo looks exactly like the Yaoyao now, but her figure is completely different. Doesn’t that indicate that the person isn’t Yaoyao at all?”
Yu Yao smiled at Yu Jue, as if praising his intelligence. Yu Jue immediately felt as if he were floating.
“My Third Brother is right.” She first expressed her affirmation of Yu Jue, then said to the reporters, “More importantly, the lady in the photo doesn’t have any special marks on her body. I think this is the evidence that will prove my innocence the most.”
As she spoke, Yu Yao found a packet of wet paper towels on the table. She took one out and began rubbing on her shoulder.
Yu Yao was wearing a sleeveless gown, which made it easier for her current actions.
After Yu Yao wiped the foundation off her left shoulder, the netizens saw a long, thin white scar on her shoulder through the high-definition camera.
A reporter asked, “What is this?”
“This is a wound caused by a fruit knife.”
