Chapter 467: No, You are Not That Pitiful!
Vera was very angry. She had just left the training location and she was making her way back to Luo City at this time.
Who would have expected something like this to happen to Jiang Yuning as soon as she began filming?
Who would be so daring?
…
In fact, when Jiang Yuning finally received the phone call from Vera, the entire crew had already seen the rumor and hot search that was circulating across the Internet.
When Hou Da heard about what happened, she was very annoyed. “Someone must have set her up! What is wrong with those people?”
After that, Hou Da stormed up to Jiang Yuning’s room in an aggressive manner.
Jiang Yuning opened the door and could not help but roll her eyes when she saw Hou Da’s expression as she stood right outside her door. “Sister, are you really trying to give the other members of the crew more reasons to think that we have a really strained relations.h.i.+p?”
“The reason why I ran here immediately is because I am worried about you! Is someone trying to stir up trouble behind your back?” Hou Da asked as she entered Jiang Yuning’s room before closing the door behind her.
“I am still investigating the matter but as there are so many people out there who want to deal with me, I believe that we will not be able to get to the bottom of the matter so easily,” Jiang Yuning replied as she put down her phone. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuning had a very calm expression on her face.
Hou Da could not help but to observe Jiang Yuning. This was because even though Jiang Yuning was in a very compromising position right now and even though everyone on the Internet was against her, there was no trace of panic in her eyes at all.
“You…have a plan to deal with this?”
“Is this something that is very difficult to deal with?” Jiang Yuning asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
“This is not difficult to you at all?” Hou Da asked as she sat down next to Jiang Yuning with her mouth wide open in shock. “I know that you are very talented when it comes to dealing with public relations but how are you going to prove yourself? No matter what you do, everyone will always believe that you were cheating! I am so annoyed right now.”
“So, why do you have so much faith in me then?” Jiang Yuning chuckled as she asked out of curiosity. Of course, she was also very moved that Hou Da trusted in her against all odds.
After all, her relations.h.i.+p with Hou Da was not deep enough for Jiang Yuning to tell her about her relations.h.i.+p with Second Young Master Lu. However, Jiang Yuning was really curious to know why Hou Da trusted her even though she had no proof at all.
This made Jiang Yuning feel very puzzled.
“Don’t you have any idea who might have set you up at all?”
This time, Hou Da waited in vain for an answer again. After that, she said, “Why are these people so weird? At first, they believed that you tried to put the other guest members down on purpose to show off your own intelligence but after that, they do not believe that it is possible for you to be that intelligent. Why are they contradicting themselves?”
Jiang Yuning could only laugh out loud after listening to Hou Da’s words.
“Moreover, I really do not understand what is going on in their minds. While they are talking bad about you, can’t they think of the good things that you have done for society instead? You have already opened three online platforms to help your fans and those who are in need. I really do not know what else these people are hoping to get out of you.”
“It’s okay…in the entertainment industry, there is never any right or wrong. There is no black or white and dreams or innocence are not valuable at all,” Jiang Yuning replied as she patted Hou Da’s shoulder. “Anyway, who am I? You should rest a.s.sured because as soon as I find out the ident.i.ty of the person who is trying to defame me, I will definitely teach that person a lesson that he will never forget.”
“Alright then. Ahh! I am just so mad and annoyed right now. Make sure that you teach that person a lesson when you find out his ident.i.ty!”
“Hehehe…Hou Da, since I am so pitiful, can I request to have the day after tomorrow? off” Jiang Yuning quickly took advantage of this opportunity to ask for Hou Da’s permission to have a day off in a flattering tone.
“No, you are not that pitiful!”
Although she raised her voice at Jiang Yuning, Hou Da already felt a little more relieved at this time. Anyway, since Jiang Yuning did not need to partic.i.p.ate in the training at all, it would also be better if she took the day off to solve this problem instead.
However, Jiang Yuning did not apply for the day off to settle this issue. Instead, she wanted to apply for it because w.a.n.g Jing had called the Lu family mansion as she wanted Jin Mingchen to bring Lu Jingqi over to the agency to partic.i.p.ate in an audition. Third Uncle Lu was not very comfortable with that arrangement and he hoped that Jiang Yuning would also accompany Lu Jingqi on that day. That was the reason why Jiang Yuning wanted to rush back to Luo City the day after tomorrow. Anyway, once she ensured that she made all the necessary arrangements for Lu Jingqi, she would not need to worry so much about this matter after she start filming officially.
After that, Hou Da returned to her own bedroom but that night itself, someone started spreading the rumor that Hou Da had rushed over to Jiang Yuning’s room in an angry manner that night.
The person also said that the relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Yuning and Hou Da was very tense.
Does this mean that Hou Da would be changing the first female lead of the drama even before they start filming?
When Hou Da found out about the rumor, she could only sigh as she rolled her eyes. If anyone in the crew tried to use this matter to create tension among the other crew members, then she would definitely teach that person a lesson. They were still a bunch of young and small actors and actresses, but why were they always thinking of starting a rumor instead of focusing on their own acting skills?
After Hou Da left Jiang Yuning’s room, she finally calmed down and returned Lu Jingzhi’s phone call.
“Second Brother…did you read the news on the Internet?”
Second Young Master Lu had just finished reading all the news that were all over the Internet. In fact, he had been so focused on catching up with the news that he did not even had the time to shower yet.
Even though he knew that he should not be so calculative and be mad at these group of haters, these people were still criticizing and insulting his precious wife.
Lu Jingzhi was not even this angry when there were rumors of a love line between Jiang Yuning and another man.
Therefore, Secretary Ho was busy working with the fans of the love line between the childhood sweethearts to deal with the haters at this time.
“I have already contacted the new owner of the Jiang family’s old mansion. He told me that the study that used to be in your bas.e.m.e.nt is still there and he had left it untouched because he wanted to preserve the study,” Lu Jingzhi said as he did not replied to Jiang Yuning’s question at all. Instead, he said something entirely different that did not seemed to make sense at all.
However, Jiang Yuning smiled as soon as she heard Lu Jingzhi’s words. Was there really some sort of telepathy between the couple?
Why did the new owner choose to preserve the study in the Jiang family’s mansion?
This was because the entire bas.e.m.e.nt of the Jiang family mansion was like a library full of books.
That was Grandpa Jiang’s entire book collection in his lifetime.
Jiang Yuning had always spent all her time in the study room with her grandfather ever since she was a young child.
The netizens and the public were accusing Jiang Yuning of cheating and insisting that all of her scenes in the variety program was scripted because there was no way she could have so much knowledge for a high school graduate. However, they did not know that Jiang Yuning was born into an ocean of books and that she had spent most of her time reading when she was younger. Moreover, Jiang Yuning also had the habit of making and writing down notes in any books that she read. Therefore, as long as it was a book that Jiang Yuning had read before, her handwriting would definitely be in that book.
This was also the main reason why Jiang Yuning was not angry at all. It was simply because she knew that what really existed would not become fake just because someone was accusing her of something that she did not do at all.
“Why are you still so angry when you have already thought of a way to clear my name?” Jiang Yuning asked Lu Jingzhi in a gentle and soothing tone.
“I did not know that people who are chasing after their idols…would always be feeling such emotions.”
Jiang Yuning could not help but laughed out loud as soon as she heard Lu Jingzhi’s words. “Hahaha. Second Brother, my stomach is already hurting from laughing too much! Are you really switching over to become my full-time fan instead of simply being a fan because you are my husband?”
“Well, still a DW.”
Jiang Yuning laughed even harder after hearing Lu Jingzhi’s words. “Do you even know what DW means?”
How could he not know when Secretary Ho was updating him about the entertainment circle every day?
Secretary Ho was also very invested in the love line between the childhood couple ever since he had been given an official nickname of his own on the fan page.
When Lu Jingzhi did not reply to her question, Jiang Yuning also calmed down before she said, “Second Brother, be good okay? I promise that I will get Vera to look into this matter and get it settled on my behalf. However, we should take things a little slow because I want to see if the other party has anything else up his or her sleeve.”
“Okay.” Lu Jingzhi gave a soft hum as he reacted to Jiang Yuning’s gentle coaxing.
In fact, the words that really touched his heart was when Jiang Yuning asked him to be good.
Of course, Jiang Yuning also realized that Lu Jingzhi had really changed a lot after she showed him the fan page that was set up in support of their love line. In the past, Lu Jingzhi was a very stern and emotionless person who was very boring. However, Lu Jingzhi was now very up to date on all the news in the entertainment industry and he could even use slang in his sentences. Wasn’t he getting younger and younger?
Jiang Yuning did not know whether she should be laughing or crying at this point.
In fact, the second young master was only acting this way in front of Jiang Yuning because he wanted to be a good fan to his one and only fan.
