The announcer wanted to ask another question, but one of the paparazzi who had been bribed spoke up instead, “Miss Ling, I heard that you have always hoped to be someone who is married to a wealthy man. Now that you have the chance to make your hobby your job and have even become the young mistress of the Di family, are you planning on focusing on your research or giving up your job and focusing on becoming the wife of a rich man?”
The committee was well aware of the conflict between Ling Siqi and Wang Qining. They didn’t care about it previously since Ling Siqi was from Country Z.
But now, no matter if Ling Siqi chose to stay in the Central Continent to work for the Union, she was still a member of it. It would be an insult to the Union as well if they insulted Ling Siqi.
One of the judges for the competition was the vice chancellor of the Union, and he immediately signaled one of the staff to get the security guards.
The little boy knew English, and he could understand what the paparazzi was asking. He was about to explode in rage when Ling Siqi stopped him. She turned to the paparazzi and answered, “Why do I have to pick one? Only a child would be asked to make a choice like this. I want my family and my job. Do you have an opinion about that?”
But, this person had been bribed, and she wasn’t someone from Country Z, so she continued asking, “Wealthy families never like having their wives going out to work. Does the Di family know about your decision? Or will you be doing the same as how you have done before? Getting yourself pregnant first without the consent of the man?”
By this time, Di Yunxi was already standing next to Ling Siqi. He held onto her waist and was ready to rebut the paparazzi when Ling Siqi chuckled instead, “From what I know, the head of the state in the Central Continent is also from a wealthy family, but his wife has always been actively involved in the charity works. Do you think he is unhappy with his wife?”
The netizens noticed that this paparazzi was just causing trouble, but they could only curse her online.
The paparazzi weren’t going to let it go. She would be kicked out of this place very very soon. She had to try her best to ruin Ling Siqi’s name so that she would be able to get paid.
“You are merely a woman who climbed onto another man’s bed. How can you compare yourself to the First Lady?! Our First Lady is someone who values herself, unlike you!”
Ling Siqi still remained calm as she smiled, “So you’re trying to say that all women who have gotten pregnant out of wedlock are bad people? I know that there are a lot of independent women in the Central Continent who want to have children while they are still young, but they do not wish to be married. They have gotten married spuriously. According to where you are headed to, are you saying they shouldn’t?”
The paparazzi was speechless as she couldn’t get the effect that she wanted, “The Central Continent is different from Country Z. We have different laws and cultures here in this country. You will be judged for what you have done in your country!”
Di Yunxi finally found a space for him to speak, “Why does it matter to you whether or not she is a bad woman? Even if she is, I am the one who will judge her for it. Who do you think you are?”
The paparazzi obviously knew that he was the richest man in Country Z, but she didn’t care because she was from the Central Continent.
“But, as a public figure, I believe that Miss Ling should at least watch her actions. A woman like her…”
