Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Almost Thought You Were a Public Relations Professional

She’s straightforward and speaks her mind.

Of course, not everyone can be so candid.

Even if one wants to be honest, they must consider their surroundings.

Most people, due to reality, cannot be so straightforward.

One must become tactful, worldly, and have a higher emotional intelligence.

It’s because Victoria Wheeler has had her family’s protection since childhood, and after getting married, she also has the Zhekova Family’s protection.

Even if she’s honest and says things others don’t want to hear, what can they do to her?

“That’s right!” Victoria said.

“I didn’t know about it at first, but I heard it during a gathering with my girlfriends yesterday,” Victoria explained.

Old Madam’s lips twitched twice.

Victoria was already quite old, and her girlfriends were around her age.

The age difference wouldn’t be more than five years.

These weren’t young girlfriends.

Older girlfriends would be more appropriate.

However, Old Madam didn’t reveal this harsh reality.

“In the end, we talked about this. They told me what they heard from others during the gathering.”

“Naturally, I couldn’t fully believe what was said through a third party’s mouth. Who knows if there’s any misunderstanding along the way.”

“Coincidentally, the hotel restaurant we were having afternoon tea at was also holding a gathering. Although I didn’t know them, when gossip started, it talked about Adrian Zhekova and Cindy’s gossip.”

“Probably they are not from the same circle. After all, Belfard is huge. Even if they are businessmen, there are various kinds of businessmen,” Victoria said. “Anyway, I don’t know who their friends are who spread the rumors about Adrian and Cindy, but they have made people speculate.”

“I know that it can’t just be a few people talking about Cindy and Adrian like this. There must be many people who think the same way.”

Old Madam nodded: “It’s not surprising that people think that way.”

People are all ordinary, and many of their thoughts are inevitable.

Especially under the influence of the long-standing idea of equal social status in marriage, as well as numerous news stories and real-life cases,

Rich families always marry into other rich families.

There are countless people who want to marry into a wealthy family, including many female celebrities who strive to enter this circle. Yet, very few of them succeed.

For those who do, again, very few of them end with happy outcomes.

Too many such examples have led people to form a fixed mindset about this.

In addition, those wealthy families really value their social status as well.

They are also very snobbish.

Moreover, they prioritize family interests and are educated in such ways since childhood.

Such thinking has been deeply ingrained in their bones and blood.

How could those who grew up in wealthy families genuinely and readily accept Cindy as part of the Zhekova Family?

They may think about it, but they won’t understand.

Old Madam was not happy with the gossip surrounding her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

“Do you have an idea?” Old Madam knew, based on Victoria’s eagerness, that she had a plan.

“It’s simple.” Victoria hugged Old Madam’s arm, “We go together to make a video with Adrian and Cindy.”

“Our family appearing together in the video means no one can doubt us anymore. If they still have doubts, then it’s because they are ill-intentioned and can’t bear to see us happy!” Victoria said indignantly.

“Yes, you have a point.” Old Madam agreed, and decided to do just that!

In the study, when Cindy and Adrian finished filming the video,

Cindy first paused it.

“You said that just now, is it okay?” Cindy asked Adrian. “At the wedding of Walter and Olivia, you said that we were secretly married.”

“I have thought about it. If we tell the netizens we are secretly married, then what happened during the major competition can’t be explained.”

“Moreover, when you first became a food blogger and posted videos, you told your fans that you were a single mother. If we now say that we are secretly married, it means you lied to your fans back then. This lie has already lasted for five years.”

“I may not know much about the fan circle, but any outsider would know this. Fans definitely don’t want the person they admire to deceive them, and that’s a big taboo,” Adrian said.

Cindy nodded; that was true.

“However, there’s no need to worry about not aligning with what was said at Olivia’s wedding,” Adrian said.

“Olivia’s wedding didn’t allow journalists to enter, even their surroundings were blocked. The journalists couldn’t take a single photo, let alone hear what we said at the wedding.”

“And those who were invited were all her good friends and trustworthy in terms of their character.”

“Except for the people of The Big Eight families, there were just a few friends from the entertainment circle. Olivia is not a fool; she has few friends in the entertainment circle, but they are all good people. Her friends are not fake.”

“So, even if the public statement in our video doesn’t match what we said at the wedding, what if it is revealed? If you think about it, would it matter?”

“Initially, we only went public with the secret marriage in a small circle. Only the guests at Olivia’s wedding knew about it. Even during the New Year’s Day dinner, no one knew this statement.”

“This is just something known within a small group; although it’s not a secret, it can be called an insider’s anecdote,” Adrian said.

“Honestly, when I arranged for it last time, I knew that sooner or later, we would have to go public and that the statement wouldn’t be the same as before,” Adrian said.

“So, at that time, I hinted that this matter was only discussed within small circles and not publicized,” Adrian said. “After all, my previous reasons were somewhat superstitious and not suitable for publicizing, which they all knew.”

“So, even if these people see our public statement, they will only think it’s a public remark. They know what the real reason behind it is.”

In reality, none of the explanations were true.

“They would only think that, because we didn’t want to disclose the secret marriage, we found such a reason,” Adrian said.

“After all, a secret marriage, in fact, is quite criticized.”

“Although whether a public figure’s marriage is public or not is a private issue and has nothing to do with others,”

“Clearly, netizens don’t think they are outsiders and believe they have the right to comment,” Adrian smiled. “So, the secret marriage reasoning wouldn’t work well with the gossip lovers.”

“On the other hand, the lovers’ reunion plotline, like in novels, would be more appealing,” Adrian said.

Cindy blinked and said, “You… I almost thought you majored in public relations.”

When did Adrian turn into Olivia!

That’s just too impressive!

Adrian laughed, “I’m not a PR major.”
