Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 75

"Alright, Miss Zhang is going to answer your questions. Please, one at a time… one at a time." Lawyer Liu could only shake his head inwardly as he forced a smile. Is this the reason why Mr. Quinn asked him to babysit his wife? He looked at Sera, who was surprisingly calm as she smiled at everyone.
"Firs and foremost…" Sera said. "I bought a coffee truck for everyone. I know you have been here since earlier. You stayed under the sun for hours just waiting for me to say something." Sera pointed at the truck, who just parked outside of her gates. "Please feel free to have some coffee! It's a reward for your efforts, after all, going inside this village is not an easy feat. It made me wonder what type of difficulties have you suffered just to get inside. Rest assured, I will investigate this matter. Isn't that right, lawyer Liu?"
Lawyer Liu felt cold sweat trickled down his back. This woman… who could she sound so sweet? Clearly, she was threatening the person who left these people inside this village. But the way that Sera said it actually sounded like she was giving them a favor. He looked at the faces of the reporters and immediately knew that they felt the pressure coming from Sera.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang but we are not here for the coffee."
"Ah?" Sera lifted an eyebrow. "Then are you just here to disturb this private village?" She emphasized the word private. This place was supposed to be a high end village. No one could easily get inside the gates, especially not reporters. "Anyway, since you don't like the coffee, then please ask away." Sera was once again smiling at them as she calmly sat in a chair that the lawyer helped her dragged outside of the gates earlier.

All his life, this was actually the first time that Lawyer Liu encountered someone as 'chill' as Sera. Instead of showing any anger or irritation, she was calmly sitting in a chair wearing her shades and drinking some juice. If Lawyer Liu was a bystander, he would have thought that she was an actress having a press conference.
"Miss Zhang, what are your involvements in Old Man Zhang's death?"
"Miss Zhang, we heard reports that the police invited you about the old man's death."
"Miss Zhang, can you tell us why your identity was kept a secret for years?"
"Miss Zhang— "
Sera rolled her eyes. "If all of you would ask questions at the same time, then how am I supposed to answer you?" She sighed. "First, my grandfather's death has nothing to do with me. He was still alive when he drafted the will. Obviously, his death does not change the fact that I am now the Heiress of the Zhang Clan. You should ask the people with huge losses."
"Miss Zhang… by huge loses do you mean…"
Sera interrupted the man's words. "I was asked to go to the police station because the Zhang Family thought I murdered the old man even before they receive an autopsy. Obviously, they are smarter than the people who autopsied the old man."
"Miss Zhang…"
Again, Sera interrupted the reporter. "I didn't keep my identity a secret. You should ask the people who knew who I am about this matter."
"Miss Zhang, are you suggesting that the whole family knew who you were before?"
"How should I know? I can't read their minds." Sera answered while still smiling.
"Miss Zhang, how about— "
"Alright, I think it's enough for today. If you wanted her to ask any more questions, you can call my office. I am sure you can easily find my contact information— "

Sera raised her hand to stop the lawyer. "Oh, it's already Lawyer Liu. I can answer everything. I have nothing to hide."
"But — " Seeing Sera's resolute expression, Lawyer Liu could only sigh inwardly. This woman… is really giving her a headache.
"Miss Zhang… the old man's death doesn't seem to bother you at all. Can you tell us why you looked calm instead of looking like you lost someone important to you?"
When the reporter asked, the other reporters turned to Sera and stopped asking more questions. Every one of them can actually see that Sera wasn't showing any signs of sadness or devastation.
"Well… first and foremost, I grew up in the Zhang Household. However, I only met the old man once or twice a year. There were years that I never saw him at all. I have no contact or relationship with him. And I am sure most of you are aware that the old man met my cousin, Miss Zhang, and her family, but not me. I am sure you never saw me in any of their major life events before. Suffice to say, we were never close." Her voice was clear, without showing any signs of hesitation. "While I am sad about his death, I will not act hysterical and fake my emotions just to satisfy everyone."
Before anyone could ask her any more questions, she stood and removed the dark shades that covered most of her eyes. "That is all for today. Rest assured, I would ask the people who managed this community who let everyone in. People who didn't follow protocols will be fired even if the one who instructed them to let you in is someone influential."
"Miss Zhang, what was that supposed to mean?"
"Miss Zhang, are you trying to say that someone is trying to scheme against you?"
"Miss Zhang… "
"I am not going to point fingers here. However, let me tell you something. My grandfather wanted to introduce me to everyone before his death. After his death, instead of being consulted by his lawyers about his burial and estate, I was invited to the police station. Until now, no one approached me or informed me about his wake. Of course, I am not saying that they are bullying me because I have no other family anymore. I just think it was not fair, that's all." She smiled and stared at one camera pointing at her. Then she put her shades back on and let the security guard of the house stopped the reporters from following her and lawyer Liu inside the gate.
