Chapter 1381: Why Is An Lan My Lawyer？
Yan Su felt incredibly disappointed. She had quite a good impression of Ye Yunyang from the first time that they worked together. They even exchanged some opinions on music, and as her senior, he had taught her a lot. To think that things would change so much after half a year.
“The reporters will contact him. We’ll wait and see what he says.”
“Then… you won’t explain anything now?” Jiaojiao raised her brows. “You will just allow yourself to be scolded like this?”
“Just post one line: The innocent knows his innocence. Let’s focus our efforts on preparing for the compet.i.tion,” Yan Su said.
Jiaojiao watched her expression worriedly. “Are you able to calm down? Those unscrupulous reporters purposefully released news like this right now to distract you.”
“If I get eliminated tomorrow, or if my ranking drops, others will take even more delight in my trouble, and will even say that it’s karma. Therefore, it is even more reason why I must not lose.” Yan Su’s gaze was determined. “I must rank among the top three in tomorrow’s compet.i.tion. I can’t hold back anything.”
When she finished, she turned around to continue discussing music with the team.
Jiaojiao watched the silhouette of her back with mixed emotions. Xiang Wan once said that Yan Su was like a weed, despite her amiable and easy-going appearance, she was stronger than everyone else on the inside.
However, all-female artists who wanted to stay in the entertainment industry needed courage like this.
That night, Yan Su posted a photo of her side-profile while she was practicing with the captions: The innocent knows his innocence. All efforts on preparing for the compet.i.tion.
With this response, some netizens cheered her on, while others continued to attack her on the internet.
…
The next afternoon, a reporter posted a snippet of an interview with Ye Yunyang from Beijing’s press conference.
Reporter: Yan Su has become immensely popular recently. Since you have worked with her before, what is your impression of her?
Ye Yunyang: She is quite talented as a singer.
Reporter: Is that all? Do you want to work with her again? What do you think of her character?
Ye Yunyang smiled but didn’t reply.
Reporter: I saw that the two of you didn’t have any interaction just now.
Ye Yunyang: Many things have happened in the past half a year.
Reporter: Are you talking about how Yan Su suddenly became popular?
Ye Yunyang smiled in silence.
Since the interview was published, allegations against Yan Su’s character grew.
When Jiaojiao saw it, she grew so angry that she started scolding in the television station’s holding room. “What is that Ye Yunyang trying to imply? Being so vague in his responses? Is he insinuating that you have changed since becoming famous and that he doesn’t want to work with you again because he thinks that your character is questionable?”
“That is where he is very clever. In the whole conversation, he never said anything bad about me, but pushes me closer to the fiery pits with every sentence. In the end, you can’t even blame him.” Yan Su smiled bitterly. “Ask Xiang Wan to find a lawyer for me. I want to sue those big Vs* that are besmirching my reputation. Remember to publish a declaration from the lawyer. If any reporters want an interview, wait until the compet.i.tion is over.”
…
That afternoon, Xiang Wan helped her publish an official declaration on Weibo.
The letter was stamped by Xia City Zhenhai Law Firm.
It was signed and issued by An Lan.
Yan Su was stunned for a moment after she saw it, then she called Xiang Wan saying, “Why is An Lan, my lawyer?”
“Isn’t that pretty good?” Xiang Wan said. “As you become more popular in the future, you will be in all sorts of situations that involve lawsuits. You need a good lawyer, and Zhenhai Law Firm is the most reputable one in Xia City right now. An Lan is also the law firm’s best. She has become one of the most sought-after lawyers in the country these past two years since Xu Zhengxuan’s case. Since this is actually a small issue, I didn’t expect that she would take on this case personally, and handle all of your cases in the future.”
“I understand. I will personally thank her when I see her.” Yan Su hung up the phone. She thought to herself that it might be because of An Ning that An Lan was willing to take on her case.
*T/N: On Weibo, accounts with a huge following and have been verified have ‘V’ labels attached to their profiles.
