Chapter 180. Sponsor (End)
Arc 6 : Sci-fi Rom-com Movie Nightmare
The reporter’s question came straight to the point: “Mr. Du, I have your biodata in my hand. It shows that your mother has passed away, but your father is still alive. But in your engagement plan and even your immigration plan, you didn’t mention your father at all?”
Du Yan raised his eyebrows and replied: “Oh? How come I didn’t know my father was still alive? In my heart, he was already dead, so of course I don’t need to consider it.”
The reporter was choked by his straightforward and unsubtle answer. He paused before continuing to ask: “Perhaps you have misunderstood, Mr. Du Zhiping because of your mother’s affairs. As far as I know, he and your mother were not married at the time, and they broke up peacefully. He also knew nothing about your mother’s pregnancy.”
“Was he forced to marry a rich girl, become a CEO, and reach the pinnacle of his life? Then he can’t die in my heart?”
Du Yan’s answer was still unconventional but strangely persuasive.
The reporter received a large sum of money and had no choice but to ask: “After your mother passed away, Mr. Du Zhiping took over your guardianship and sent you to the best aristocratic high school in the area…”
“Excuse me, I have to interrupt you.” Du Yan said: “I was admitted to high school by myself. I got first place in the junior high school entrance exam. The principal came to my home and offered me a high scholarship to attend the school. It had nothing to do with Du Zhiping.”
The reporter wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued: “Even so, Mr. Du Zhiping’s kindness in giving you life and raising you during this period of time is real, right?”
Du Yan looked at the reporter and nodded, saying: “Thank you for your hard work. You finally got to the point. This is a very simple matter.”
Du Yan didn’t say any more nonsense and directly played the recording of his conversation with Du Zhiping, and then showed the IOU returned by Luo Ruoqing.
After doing all this, Du Yan spoke again: “Mr. Du Zhiping, who is sitting on the far right of the tenth row, I hope you can do what you said in the recording, but even if you want to regret it, we can’t do anything about it.”
The journalists present were all in awe, all with happy faces. No matter what they thought in their hearts or how they would report the scene later, the newsworthiness of this scene could definitely become a classic.
Many cameras turned around and focused on Du Zhiping, who was sitting in a hidden corner in the back row.
Du Zhiping’s face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice was extremely hoarse: “Baba, baba feels guilty for not taking good care of you, and for not being able to help you pay back the money, so I agreed…”
Du Yan said: “You feel guilty? So you didn’t ask why I was forced to drop out of school, and you didn’t find it strange that the place where I used to live was burned down?”
Just as everyone was waiting for the big news, Du Yan paused and said: “Ai, I forgot because I spoke too quickly. This involves confidential matters and sensitive people. I can’t say anything before the results come out. I can’t say anything.”
As soon as Du Yan finished speaking, Zeus’s gaze fell on the Chinese officials. There was still no expression on his face, but those people already fully understood what the attitudes of the Sagoru people and Du Yan were towards Du Zhiping and the Luo family.
Seeing Du Yan’s arrogant look, Luo Ruoqing finally couldn’t help but stand up.
She was a stubborn, willful, and impulsive person. Driven by the rage in her heart, she completely forgot about the nervousness she had felt before and started talking.
“Du Yan, don’t be so arrogant. Why did you drop out of school? Don’t you know where the money for your debt repayment came from?”
Luo Ruoqing saw Du Yan frowning slightly, and His Majesty Zeus, who was sitting next to him, also looked over. She couldn’t help but speak more smoothly: “You were kept by someone for a mere one million yuan. How dare you blame your father for not asking about this matter? As for the fire at home, who knows if your sponsor saw that you were marrying someone else and wanted to take revenge on you!”
Luo Ruoqing spoke very quickly, blurting out everything like a machine gun, while Du Yan above said nothing.
Seeing this, she thought she had won the case and further released the recording to the media present, confirming the fact that Du Yan was kept by someone.
Finally, a reporter couldn’t help but ask: “Mr. Du Yan, are you really once kept by someone as your meimei said?”
Du Yan smiled and said: “I didn’t expect to hear this question. Let me say it again. I’m just in a relationship. Do you want my partner to go bankrupt before I can have a relationship?”
No one present had thought about the relationship between the person who sponsored Du Yan and the Sagoru people. After all, Luo Ruoqing had already produced evidence that Du Yan had gone from being penniless to having a million in a short period of time.
Du Yan’s current partner, Zeus, is an alien who just appeared on Earth for the first time recently. How could he have anything to do with this one million?
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Zeus’s face. From beginning to end, Zeus’s expression did not change, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry.
Seeing this, the reporter, bribed by the Luo family, became curious again, thinking that the Sagoru people might not understand Earth culture and that’s why they were indifferent to this.
He stood up and asked: “Mr. Zeus, what do you think about your partner being sponsored?”
Zeus glanced at Du Yan and heard the message from him through his brain waves.
【Just answer truthfully. 】
Zeus asked: “Sponsor?”
When the reporter heard this, he thought that the other party really didn’t know what keeping a partner meant, so he quickly explained: “In Earth culture, sponsoring means a relationship where one person pays money and the other person pays with their body.”
Just when he was expecting this upright alien Emperor to fly into a rage, his reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Then is using money in exchange for affection also considered as sponsoring someone?”
The reporter was stunned and said: “It can be counted.”
Zeus suddenly realized and nodded, saying: “Then, I’m sponsoring Du Yan.”
Du Yan couldn’t help laughing and added: “Yes, that money was given to me by Zeus.”
“How is it possible? How can the Sagoru people have Chinese currency? You have no diplomatic relations or trade with Earth. From the perspective of the Sagoru people, it is impossible for them to plunder.”
“I used a piece of technology to exchange for One million yuan as my,” Zeus paused, as if looking for a suitable term: “Love fund.”
Du Zhiping, who was sitting below, was completely paralyzed when he heard this.
It turns out that from the beginning, Du Yan was just playing with them. What about giving him hope because he cared about family ties, what about being not too aggressive because he was worried that they would have something on him, and what about being in a hurry to hold this press conference because he had something to hide.
It was all just Du Yan acting, giving them a glimmer of hope and then ruthlessly extinguishing it, and even saying that he would completely cut off all ties with him in this situation.
Regardless of what the public opinion thinks of Du Yan’s words, at least the China side receives the message conveyed by Du Yan, that is, he has a grudge against Du Zhiping and the Luo family. The worse Du Zhiping and the Luo family suffer, the happier Du Yan will be.
It’s over. Everything is over. Why did he choose this path in the first place? His life is so ridiculous…
Du Zhiping fell down, holding his chest, looking as if he couldn’t breathe.
Luo Ruoqing hurriedly supported him. She could no longer care about anything else and yelled at Du Yan: “Dad has a heart disease! Are you trying to anger him to death?”
Du Yan finally moved, walked over from the stage step by step, and then stopped in front of Du Zhiping.
The expression on his face remained as cold as before, as if the person lying in front of him had nothing to do with him.
“Don’t rush to blame me, but you did contribute to my birth, so I’ll return the favor today.”
Du Yan turned to David and said: “Chief of Staff David, sorry for your trouble.”
David nodded, and a moment later, several Sagoru people came in, carrying a strange capsule that the people on Earth had never seen before.
Du Yan glanced at Luo Ruoqing and said: “Based on the technological level of the Sagoru civilization, this is just a minor problem.”
He bent down and whispered in Du Zhiping’s ear: “For half of your contribution in giving me life, I will give you a healthy heart, so we are even.”
This press conference with its twists and turns came to an end.
Until the day when Earth civilization stepped onto the stage of the Galactic Senate, when Earthlings talked about their first encounter with alien civilization, they would still talk about that arrogant and somewhat vicious boy who was extremely lucky.
Even after such a long time, any mention of Du Yan on the Chinese forum on Earth would cause a bloody storm.
The video of the press conference has also become a highly viewed video on various video websites. Of course, such comments are inevitable under the video.
“It’s just luck that he was favored by the Sagoru people.”
“When I first saw him being so ruthless to his own father, I thought his values weren’t that great.”
“Am I the only one who thinks Du Yan looked so handsome when he slapped his scumbag father and weird sister? The inside story that came out after the press conference, wow.”
“With Du Zhiping, the gigolo, and the weird Luo family, Du Yan will have troubles in the future if he doesn’t cut the Gordian knot.”
“That’s right, didn’t you see how much effort people put into pushing Earth civilization to quickly enter the Galactic Senate? Do keyboard warriors have the guts to enter the Galactic Senate first?”
At the official ceremony of Earth’s entry into the Galactic Senate, the people of Earth saw Du Yan on the screen again. Compared to his immature appearance at the press conference, he looked much more mature, but he only looked like a young man.
At his side, His Majesty Zeus of the Sagor stellar system always accompanies him. No matter what Du Yan is doing, Zeus’s eyes will never leave him.
Without words, everyone in front of the screen can see that this couple has an enviable relationship.
At this time, Luo Ruoqing, who is already middle-aged, is nestling in a cramped rental house, watching Du Yan on TV.
She lowered her head and saw her rough fingers, which were caused by long-term hard work.
After the Luo family was completely overthrown, Luo Feng was sentenced to death, Du Zhiping was sentenced to life imprisonment because of the huge amount of tax evasion, and Luo Ruoqing’s mother was also an accomplice and was also imprisoned.
Luo Ruoqing didn’t even finish high school and ended up having to make a living through manual labor.
The beautiful memories of her youth have become blurred, but the clearest memory is that of a man named Du Yan.
Luo Ruoqing suddenly remembered her long-cherished wish when she was a teenager, which was for Du Yan to get out of her sight.
That’s right, Du Yan is gone now, gone far away, and is no longer even on the same planet as her.
But in Luo Ruoqing’s world, Du Yan always exists, and Du Yan may have already forgotten her existence.
Luo Ruoqing covered her face and laughed, her shoulders shaking. She didn’t know what she was laughing at, and her laughter even went through the thin door of the rental house and spread outside.
After an unknown amount of time, the laughter seemed to change its tone again, and it sounded like someone was crying.
Until the neighbor couldn’t stand the noise anymore, came over in slippers and knocked on the door: “Luo DaShen, can you be quiet? I have to go to work tomorrow!”
(*DaShen = wife of father’s younger brother)
Then, there was silence, just like the peaceful starry sky outside.
