91: Chapter 92 Angel Yin - The Smile Fund

Half a month later, in the banquet hall of the most top-tier five-star hotel in Jiangzhou City, the lights were brilliant and the media was gathered.

The press conference for the establishment of the "Yin Angel — Smile Foundation" was being held grandly here.

Yin Tianxue wore a custom-tailored white suit skirt; the cut was sharp, the lines were smooth, accentuating her beautiful figure to the fullest.

Standing in the center of the stage, under the spotlight, she radiated a confident, elegant, and charming glow.

She calmly introduced the founding purpose, vision, and future plans of the "Yin Angel" Foundation to the media and guests present.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, her logic was well-organized, and every gesture displayed the demeanor of a high-class lady and the aura of a powerful businesswoman.

"...Therefore, 'Yin Angel' is not just a charity Foundation that provides free cleft lip and palate repair surgeries; we are committed to building a complete, sustainable medical aid and rehabilitation system, bringing hope, confidence, and a new beginning to every child who cannot smile due to congenital defects."

Yin Tianxue's voice carried through the microphone across the entire banquet hall, firm and full of power, winning warm applause from the audience.

Yu Bo sat in the VIP seat in the first row, his gaze closely following the radiant woman on stage, his eyes filled with undisguised love, appreciation, and pride.

His Tianxue was always meant to be like this, standing under the spotlight, confident, composed, and dazzling.

Over the past half month, their relationship had undergone a qualitative leap.

That "accident" that night and the honest communication that followed not only did not cause a rift between them, but instead brought their hearts closer together.

Although there was still occasional subtle awkwardness because of Tang Guo, overall, their relationship had become deeper and more stable.

Just as he was thinking this, his gaze inadvertently swept across the entrance of the venue, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

At the entrance, a tall and beautiful figure walked in gracefully.

Today, Tang Guo wore a royal blue, deep V-neck slim-fitting long dress, which made her skin look like snow and accentuated her curvaceous figure.

She radiated a kind of mature, sexy, and slightly wild beauty.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

She seemed indifferent to those stunned or inquisitive gazes, wearing a calm and confident smile on her face as she walked straight toward the VIP seats in the first row.

Yu Bo's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he quickly returned to calm.

For the past half month, Tang Guo seemed to have deliberately avoided opportunities to be alone with them, only occasionally calling or texting Tianxue.

He knew that the incident that night had left a subtle mark between the three of them; although everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again, some things had already quietly changed.

Tang Guo walked to the empty seat next to Yu Bo and sat down, nodding at him politely and distantly: "CEO Yu."

"Miss Tang."

Yu Bo also responded indifferently, his tone calm and waveless.

Their gazes met briefly in the air, both seeing a kind of tacit, complex emotion in the other's eyes, then quickly moved away.

The absurdity and madness of that night were like an invisible barrier standing between them.

Yin Tianxue on stage also saw Tang Guo, her face immediately breaking into a surprised and happy smile, and she winked at her.

Tang Guo also smiled and waved at her, making a cheering gesture.

The tacit understanding and friendship between Best Friends were fully revealed at this moment.

The press conference went very smoothly.

When it came to the media Q&A session, most of the reporters' questions focused on the operation of the Foundation, future plans, and Yin Tianxue's personal journey.

Yin Tianxue answered them all calmly and flawlessly.

Just then, a male reporter wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked somewhat mean, stood up, took the microphone, and said in a sharp and provocative tone: "Miss Yin, as everyone knows, you come from a prestigious family and are the daughter of Tiansheng Group. Did you found this Foundation just to gild yourself, or... to salvage the personal image damaged by relationship issues a while ago?"

As soon as this question was asked, the venue instantly went quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yin Tianxue.

The scandal between Yu Bo and Shen Nian had been making a huge fuss a while ago; although Yu Bo had later strongly clarified and handled it, the impact remained.

This reporter's question was undoubtedly picking at a scar, and even carried malice.

Yu Bo's face instantly darkened, his eyes looking coldly at the reporter, radiating a chilling aura from his whole body.

Just as he was about to stand up, his arm was gently pressed down by Tang Guo next to him.

Tang Guo shook her head at him, signaling him with her eyes to calm down, a meaningful cold smile curling at the corners of her lips, and whispered: "Don't rush, watch how Tianxue handles it. A small character like this doesn't need you to take action."

Yu Bo glanced at her, suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat back down, but his eyes remained cold.

On stage, Yin Tianxue, facing this sharp and malicious question, did not change the smile on her face in the slightest, remaining calm and composed.

She looked at the reporter, her voice calm and powerful, carrying an unquestionable dignity: "Mr. Reporter, first, I want to correct a mistake you made. The founding of the 'Yin Angel' Foundation has nothing to do with my family background or my personal love life. It stems from my reverence for life and my pity and sense of responsibility for every child who cannot smile."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the entire audience, her eyes clear and firm: "As for the 'gilding' and 'salvaging image' you mentioned, I think those who truly need 'gilding' and 'image salvaging' are perhaps not the children who need help, but those who look at people through colored glasses and are full of prejudice. Charity is not a show, let alone a tool. It is kindness and action from the heart. If one must ask what 'Yin Angel' is for, its only purpose is to allow more children to regain their smiles, regain their confidence, and regain hope for life."

As soon as she finished speaking, thunderous applause immediately erupted from the audience, and some people even couldn't help but cheer.

The reporter who asked the question, amidst the disdainful and condemning gazes of the crowd, turned pale and red, and sat down dejectedly.

Yin Tianxue nodded slightly, an elegant and appropriate smile reappearing on her face: "Thank you everyone. Next question."

Yu Bo looked at the composed and radiant woman on stage, his eyes filled with pride and love.

His Tianxue was no longer the little girl who needed his constant protection; she had grown into a towering tree capable of standing on her own and standing proudly against the wind.

Tang Guo looked at Yin Tianxue on stage, who was radiant and handling the difficulties with ease, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

There was pride, relief, envy, and a trace of... something she herself was unwilling to admit, a secret sourness and loneliness.

Tianxue had really changed.

She was no longer the little girl who needed protection and was easily hurt.

Now she was confident, powerful, and dazzling, like a polished diamond, radiating a brilliant and eye-catching light.

Such a Tianxue, standing with Yu Bo, was so well-matched, so... a match made in heaven.

And what about her?

Tang Guo looked down at the sexy royal blue long dress she was wearing, and a self-deprecating bitter smile curled at the corners of her lips.

She was still that flamboyant, passionate, and even slightly wild Tang Guo, but under Tianxue's current halo, she felt like a supporting star; although she was also shining, she was far less bright and dazzling than the moon.

The absurdity of that night was like a dream; when the dream woke up, reality was even more cruel.

Between her and Yu Bo, there was Tianxue, there was this impassable chasm.

The way Yu Bo looked at Tianxue was so affectionate, focused, and full of love—that was something she had never possessed, and... would never possess.
