The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride-Chapter 8 - : If You Don’t Want to Ruin Your Reputation, Then Behave!
Chapter 8: Chapter 8: If You Don't Want to Ruin Your Reputation, Then Behave!
"Ah!" Tang Tian screamed, "Qin Yan, you bitch, how dare you take off my clothes, I'll be your enemy for life!"
Bo Yunshen's brow throbbed uncontrollably as Tang Tian's dress started to slip down, and he instinctively turned his head, shifting his gaze away.
He pressed down his eyelashes, pondering how the situation had escalated into an impasse. He was curious to see what she would do to salvage the situation.
Just stripping Tang Tian of her dress wouldn't cut it!
Her voice was shrill, and a trace of impatience rose in the depths of Bo Yunshen's heart. Qin Yan pulled Tang Tian, forcing her to sit again in front of the makeup mirror with a strong grip that Tang Tian could not break free from. Through the thin layer of the mirror, Qin Yan's face wore a layer of indifference.
"Tang Tian, if you don't want to ruin your reputation, then behave!"
Tang Tian still wanted to make a scene, but her agent stepped forward, pressing down on her with a gentle and soothing voice: "Miss, please be good. It's worth a shot like trying a dead horse as a living horse doctor, especially at this time. Other than Director Qin, who else can save you?"
Tang Tian's movements halted, clearly still upset, but Qin Yan slightly curled the corner of her lips in disdain. In this industry, anyone who couldn't gauge the situation was eliminated right from the start.

Her struggling ceased, and Qin Yan finally pulled out a tattoo pen and chose a spot on Tang Tian's body to draw a plum blossom shape.
"Hold her down, this might hurt a bit later. Don't let her move!"
When Qin Yan mentioned it would hurt, Tang Tian grew fearful, her tone finally softened as she spoke to Qin Yan. "Qin Yan, you can't use this incident to take revenge on me!"
Qin Yan ignored her, not caring for Tang Tian's personal feelings, and set to work directly.
It took Qin Yan half an hour to tattoo a plum blossom on Tang Tian's back. During those thirty minutes, Tang Tian had almost cried herself into a tearful mess.
Once it was done, Qin Yan spoke to Tang Tian's agent, "Go get ready, see if the journalists are still there. We're holding a press conference."
Concerned with Tang Tian's reputation, the agent did not dare to be careless, "Yes, I'm on it right away, Director Qin."
Once the agent had left, Bo Yunshen allowed his gaze to drift over, noticing that the zipper of Tang Tian's dress hadn't been pulled up. A lifelike plum blossom blossomed on her exposed back.
Bo Yunshen's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of coldness flashing through them.
It was no surprise that Qin Yan, with her quick thinking, had devised such a solution on the fly; no wonder she had climbed to the position of the Marketing Department Director of Bo Group within three years.
He licked his lips, which were slightly dry; he had always known of Qin Yan's notorious reputation, but this was his first time witnessing it.
Not just in Tong City, but nationally, how many women could nonchalantly create a plum blossom on another woman's back within half an hour, as if it had been tattooed there years ago?
And all the while, Tang Tian did not cease her crying and fussing.
Qin Yan's strategies and scheming were deep; neither Manman nor Tang Tian was her match!
The incident could have been easily resolved, but Bo Yunshen's distaste for Qin Yan deepened.
Gathering a few journalists for a press conference was not challenging for Tang Tian's agent, especially when, after such a major incident, the journalists were still blocking the entrance outside the sales office.
Before Qin Yan and Tang Tian took the stage, Tang Tian asked Qin Yan to touch up her makeup.
Qin Yan aloofly replied, "No need for that. It's better to go up looking real."
Tang Tian cried until her makeup was ruined, her eyes dark red with fury. She hated this old woman to death but, having already arrived at the stage, it wasn't the place for her to cause a scene. Since making an appearance before the media today, this old hag had been relentlessly suppressing her, and now her own smeared makeup would be overshadowed once again—infuriating!
Tang Tian, her face pale with anger, could only follow Qin Yan onto the stage. The magnesium lights flickered violently as the press conference commenced. Qin Yan directed the backstage staff to play Tang Tian's intimate photos again.
The man in the photos was different; there were two or three leading men, but the leading lady in each was Tang Tian.
Her back was clearly visible, smooth and fair, drawing the eye to its base.
After the photos were played, a reporter spoke up, "These photos don't appear to be edited. As we know, Miss Tang is an artist under the Bo Group, and Mrs. Bo, you are in charge of the Luo Shen Bay project. Is there any correlation?"
"The business model of Bo Film Industry is to produce and market internally?"
Qin Yan followed with a laugh, her expression seemingly one of pleasure, leaving the reporters confused and asking why she laughed.
"Actually, Tiantian was injured three years ago trying to save me."
Qin Yan suddenly looked up, her dark pupils locking onto the largest camera lens, her gaze so deep it was hard to discern her emotions, "It was a serious injury, and it left a scar. I've always felt very guilty."
"Ha! The Bo Family is playing the sympathy card now, huh?! Just because Tang Tian once saved Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Bo is so generous in sponsoring her and promoting her, even willing to share her own husband?"
"That's right. Tang Tian's private life is such a mess! In my opinion, the rumors from the other day weren't false—Tang Tian and Bo Yunshen are actually having an affair!"
"Exactly! When it comes to bed-hopping, who can compete with Tang Tian?!"
"Mrs. Bo! I heard that initially, Mrs. Bo was the one who climbed into Mr. Bo's bed of her own volition! Otherwise, given the Bo Family's reputation, how could Mr. Bo possibly marry a has-been socialite from the Qin Family? Everyone knows how bad Qin Yan's reputation is!"
"⋯⋯"
Qin Yan had said only one sentence, and the media exploded in discussion.
"I think there may be some misunderstandings," Qin Yan stood upright, a gentle smile gracing her face yet chilled to the bone, "Every word I say here today concerns Tang Tian's reputation. I won't utter a single superfluous word. You are all reputable figures in the media industry; try not to disappoint me with idle talk."
At her words, the entire venue fell silent.
"Mrs. Bo, suddenly bringing up something from three years ago—if it's not playing the sympathy card, what is it?"
"What I'm trying to say is, Tiantian was injured while saving me, and the injury on her back left a scar. In order to cover up the scar, Tiantian's team came up with some emergency plans, so⋯⋯" Qin Yan paused, turning to look at the big screen, "the woman in the photos, that's not Tiantian. Our Tiantian has a plum blossom tattoo on her back. Tiantian, please show everyone."
Before coming onstage, Tang Tian had changed into a backless dress, and a silk scarf was draped over her shoulders. Hearing Qin Yan's words, she obediently removed the scarf from her shoulders.
Her back, with the plum blossom tattoo, was exposed to the public's view, making her spine appear even whiter and more jade-like.
"My God! There really is a tattoo on the back⋯⋯"
"Yeah! The legs are the same legs, the arms are the same arms, but the woman in the photos is indeed not quite the same!"
"Could it have been tattooed on just now?"
"Exactly! It must have been done just now!"
The media of Tong City were always as sharp and sarcastic as ever.
