Chapter 149 - Resolved
Director Pan said to Yang Li, "If you"re unhappy, don"t force yourself. It"s just a job. It"s not like you can"t find another one. Don"t compromise your dignity. What difficulties are you facing? You have others to support you. No matter how big the problem is, there"s always a solution."
Yang Li could no longer hold back her tears upon hearing these words. She said softly, "Thank you, Director Pan."
Director Pan said sincerely, "Yang Li, you have a family to support you as well, do you understand?"
Yang Li"s tears fell like rain as she nodded. She knew what Director Pan meant by family.
There were many who witnessed this warm scene.
…
It had to be said that this year"s film festival was incredibly successful and gossip-worthy. The attendance was good and the viewers.h.i.+p ratings were high.
Needless to say, the highlight of the film festival was Ning Xia whose name was now Song Ning. Not only that, but she was also now Mrs. Mu. This matter was beyond everyone"s expectations.
…
It had to be said that Mu Chen and Song Ning"s method was effective and cunning.
While the public was speculating wildly about Song Ning and spreading unfounded rumors, they kept a low profile. They waited and seized the right opportunity to clarify everything in the most eye-catching manner.
With everything in the open, no one could play dirty tricks. Since the couple had revealed everything, it would be impossible for others to frame her or slander her. Even if they tried, they would only be labeled as liars.
Previously, when Mu Chen suggested this to her, she agreed immediately. After all, she had nothing to hide. She and her mother had always risen above all these petty things and did not bother to defend themselves. This att.i.tude allowed others to slander them. However, now that she had stepped forward to clear up everything all at once, it caught those who hid in the dark unprepared.
Those wicked people did not expect Song Ning would appear at such a public event. With this move of hers, all of the ideas they came up with to harm were rendered useless.
Apart from that, Song Ning"s appearance also elevated Zhuang Ji"s popularity.
Song Ning had personally written a sign for Zhuang Ji that read: Promoting our nation"s tradition is important, but so is responsible consumerism.
Her calligraphy was powerful and lively, causing her fans to admire her even more. How could the fans not love such a responsible, talented, pa.s.sionate, kind, and perfect idol?
Although Song Ning had clearly stated she had no intention of returning to the entertainment industry, her fan club refused to disband. They even set up a group under Ning Xia and Yi Yao"s names to focus on charity.
Needless to say, when Song Ning learned about this, she was moved. She met with a small group of them and voiced her support for their actions. She even asked Cheng Che to help them with setting up the foundation for their charity work.
…
Song Ning returned to the hospital and acted as usual. Initially, there were many people who were curious. There were also reporters from non-mainstream media who secretly followed her and took photos of her.
However, Song Ning faced everyone openly and without any pretense. She had no dark past to be dug up, after all. If the media dared to make up stories, they would have to deal with the Mu Group"s legal department. Moreover, she herself had a team of lawyers to handle her legal matters.
…
The happiest person was Jiang Jin. After recuperating for half a year, her health had improved tremendously.
With this, Mu Chen finally felt relieved.
Needless to say, the half-year agreement between him and Song Ning was discarded.
The Mu family was harmonious and lived in bliss.
Jiang Jin was all smiles when she looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Now that one problem was solved, she turned her attention to Cheng Che.
Her task now was to help Cheng Che pursue Jiahui.
As the spring festival drew closer, Jiang Jin and Sister Yu grew more and more excited. The Mu family house had been empty for so many years; finally, it was going to be lively this year.
The two women spent all their time and energy preparing for the new year.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Cheng Che were busy with the company since it was the end of the year.
Song Ning had been keeping to herself, completing her thesis. She hardly rested or slept. She wanted to make use of the time she had now to make preparations.
At the same time, when Jiahui learned that Song Ning was writing her thesis, she decided to do the same and moved into the Mu family house to do so. She abashedly decided to freeload off the Mu family"s food and drinks.
Needless to say, Jiang Jin and Sister Yu were delighted.
With Jiahui"s presence, Cheng Che began to arrive home on time. He even told Jiang Jin and Sister Yu not to interfere; he wanted to obtain the beauty with his own skills.
Only Mu Chen was unhappy. This was because now he had to share Song Ning with his grandmother, Sister Yu, and Jiahui.
Every night, when he was finally able to have alone time with her, she was already exhausted. Upon seeing how tired she was, he could not bear to torment her with their nightly activities.
Under such circ.u.mstances, how could he not feel vexed?
