Chapter 346: The Other Party Inflicted This Upon Herself
When Jiang Yuning saw this hot search on the Internet, Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of Yi Fan’s remark earlier in the afternoon. Yi Fan had said that Jiang Yuning would not be able to stop her.
This was completely out of control.
Suddenly, all the questions that Jiang Yuning had were answered.
Yi Fan was trying so desperately to stop her from performing on stage at B University because she wanted to prevent her from singing ‘Holding Hearts’ in public.
This was because Yi Fan knew very well that once both songs were released, it was only a matter of time because someone discovered the similarities between their songs. To get a head start over Jiang Yuning, Yi Fan had intentionally released her hit single, ‘Stealing Hearts’, about a month earlier just so she would eventually have stronger evidence against Jiang Yuning for plagiarism.
[I do not believe that Jiang Yuning will plagiarize.]
[The evidence is already out in the open. Yi Fan’s fans have already made a comparison of the rhythms and melodies of the two songs. There is strong evidence to support the claim that Jiang Yuning plagiarized Yi Fan’s song.]
[How can this be true? I really do not think that Jiang Yuning would do something like this. If Jiang Yuning really did plagiarize Yi Fan’s song, do you think that she would dare perform and sing her song during B University’s fiftieth anniversary celebration?]
[Moreover, Jiang Yuning is already so popular right now. She really does not need to do such a thing at all.]
After news of the plagiarism broke out, none of the pa.s.sers-by believed that Jiang Yuning would do something like that. After all, Jiang Yuning did not have any reason to do so.
She was already so popular and she was so busy filming her drama and variety programs. Why would she see the need to do this?
That did not make sense at all.
Even though the pa.s.sers-by did not believe that Jiang Yuning would do something like that, they could not simply ignore the evidence present.
Yi Fan’s fans had also come forward to blame Jiang Yuning for plagiarizing their idol’s song as soon as they saw the evidence online.
[This is so upsetting! It was really difficult for Yi Fan to switch from singing folk songs to singing love songs successfully but she has to encounter someone who had tried to plagiarize her song, thinking that she can actually get away with it. What is even more disappointing is the fact that Jiang Yuning actually chose to plagiarize the song that has been written and composed by her own friend and roommate in the past!]
[She won such a beautiful battle when she had dealt with the public relations issue earlier today, but news of her plagiarism broke out later in the afternoon. Jiang Yuning, don’t you feel ashamed of yourself? The evidence points directly to you!]
[Anyone who insists that Jiang Yuning did not plagiarize Yi Fan’s song is absolutely blind. The evidence is so clear and obvious. Even though I was starting to like Jiang Yuning, I have zero tolerance for anyone who would plagiarize the work of others!]
[Jiang Yuning should not compose or write her own song if she does not have the ability to do so. It is really embarra.s.sing that she has to copy someone else’s work.]
[Jiang Yuning, you had better come out and apologize now!]
When the Ginger Candies saw Yi Fan’s fans reprimanding and criticizing their little fairy, they could not stand it any longer. Therefore, the Ginger Candies started talking back to Yi Fan’s fans. They did not believe that Short Jiang was guilty of plagiarism.
[Please stay calm and kind before you find out the truth about what happened.]
[Why didn’t your idol have some virtue when she copied the song that my idol had spent so much time composing?]
[I think that it is very suspicious for a folk singer to suddenly switch genres and become a singer who sings love songs overnight. There is just too great of a difference between the two genres. Don’t you think that it is even more doubtful?]
[I am really feeling very frustrated right now because of these people!]
[It is so annoying that Jiang Yuning is on the Internet hot search everyday.]
…
Aside from the Ginger Candies, Vera was also very angry when she saw what Yi Fan’s fans were saying online.
They were really too much. Too much!
Therefore, Vera decided to call Jiang Yuning immediately before she asked: “Yuning, what do you think about this matter? Should I contact Director Mong and request for a leave extension?”
“No.” Jiang Yuning smiled slyly over the other end of the line. “Do you think that I really need to do that over a trivial matter like this?”
“How can this be considered a trivial matter? How did Yi Fan manage to get your music score in the first place? How did it fall into her hands? I am really regretting my actions now. I should have taken a video recording for you instead of merely a voice recording the other day. Speaking of this, can you actually use the voice recording to clarify this matter to the public?”
Jiang Yuning smiled before she replied, “I don’t think so.”
“What should we do then?”
“Vera, aren’t you too anxious about this matter? Have you forgotten something important?” Jiang Yuning asked Vera in a calm manner.
“What is it?”
“Don’t you remember that I had accidentally played the song I had composed during my live broadcast before I began filming? At that time, I made a short version of the song and uploaded it on my second social media account @Flame, so that the Ginger Candies could use the song as their ringtones. Do you remember that?”
Vera’s eyes lit up immediately as soon as she heard Jiang Yuning’s word.
“Yes, I remember it now.”
“So, what else is there to worry about?” Jiang Yuning asked Vera. All that they needed to do now was to play around and manipulate Yi Fan into revealing more evidence about her crime. “All we need to do now is to continue provoking that piece of garbage. We should force her to react publicly in various ways before using the second social media account to reveal the truth at a critical moment. Don’t you think that we would be able to teach Yi Fan a better lesson that way?”
Vera calmed down as soon as she heard Jiang Yuning’s plans. “Yuning, I was really worried and scared to death earlier.”
“I told you that I will handle this matter personally. Just let Yi Fan create as big a scene as she wants to now. All you need to do for me now is to tell Xue Li and the other Ginger Candies about this matter. Ask them to tease and manipulate Yi Fan’s fans so that they would continue making a big issue out of this matter. In addition, Second Brother has already found out the location of the suspect that Yi Fan paid to commit the heinous crime. When the time is right, I will give her all these gifts all at once. I want her reputation and career to be completely destroyed.”
“Hahaha. Why are you so cruel to her?”
“Because she has touched something that she never should have,” Jiang Yuning replied decisively over the phone.
That was a gift that she prepared for Lu Jingzhi and Yi Fan actually dared to get involved?
…
Vera was finally relieved once she knew about Jiang Yuning’s plans. Therefore, after hanging up the call with Jiang Yuning, Vera decided to contact Xue Li and a few other Ginger Candies to chat with them in private.
“Sister Vera, to be honest, I recorded the second live broadcast that Sister Yuning held for us the other day. Therefore, I also have evidence of the song playing in the background during her live broadcast,” Xue Li suddenly informed Vera.
“Really?”
“Yes. So, the other party has inflicted this upon herself.”
“Hahaha. All of you are really meticulous, right?” Vera laughed over the phone.
Xue Li would always find a way to create more videos of Jiang Yuning so that they could use it for publicity purposes in future. Unexpectedly, this habit of hers would help to prove the innocence of her idol.
She did not care what anyone else thought about her idol, but how could they accuse her idol of plagiarizing the work of others?
This was ridiculous!
“I will go and look for the video and make the necessary preparations now.”
“Alright then. Go, go, go. But why do I have a feeling that you are becoming more and more like Yuning?” Vera asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
“I want to become more and more like my idol. Don’t you understand?”
This was the main reason Xue Li had always been loyal to Jiang Yuning. It was not simply because Jiang Yuning had helped her in the past. The most important reason was that Xue Li really liked and admired Jiang Yuning’s personality and character.
After receiving instructions from Xue Li, the Ginger Candies were all very obedient and they did not waste any time quarrelling with Yi Fan’s fans on the Internet. They simply sat still as they watched the show that was in play on the Internet.
What else did they have to say about a piece of garbage anyway?
That would only lower their standards.
Yi Fan’s fans regarded the Ginger Candies’ silence as an admission of their idol’s guilt.
[They must already know that their idol plagiarized the song. That is why none of them dare to step out and refute anything we say.]
[How can they continue supporting and staying loyal to an artiste like that? Are they blind?]
[The Ginger Candies should come out and apologize to the public!]
[I will visit Jiang Yuning’s fan page everyday until Jiang Yuning kneels down and apologizes to my idol!]
[I want the plagiarizer, Jiang Yuning, to appear on the hot search everyday!]
At this time, Xue Li acted according to plan and stepped forward to post a message: “Since you are accusing my idol of plagiarising your idol’s song, then please give us the evidence that Yi Fan composed and wrote this song all by herself.”
Yi Fan’s fans were immediately triggered.
[What a joke! Are you serious now?]
[Yi Fan had already released her song so long ago. Jiang Yuning’s fans really have no common sense at all. They are so disgusting!]
