Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A piece of c.r.a.p.
Jiang Yuning was finally done dealing with Mrs. Xu who appeared to be a compulsive liar. She understood clearly that Lu Zongye and the famous actress, Huo Yuxi were the real perpetrators who had arranged everything behind the scenes. They were mad at her because they were now being judged and criticized by the public and therefore, they were trying to deal with her and push the blame back to her.
After successfully getting the truth out of Mrs. Xu, Jiang Yuning finally left Anning Hospital. The reporters and paparazzi waiting outside have already watched the live broadcast and they knew everything that had taken place inside the ward. It turned out that Director Xu and his pregnant wife were the ones creating all the drama. Jiang Yuning was the victim and she had been innocent from the start.
The truth had finally been revealed. Jiang Yuning did not have an extramarital affair with that director.
Subsequently, the media began sorting out and dealing with the aftermath of Jiang Yuning’s scandal. The public was outraged at the events that had taken place. The entertainment industry was way too chaotic.
The root of this incident was Lu Zongye, the chairman of Lu Enterprise. All this had happened just because he fell in love with another woman. Lu Zongye had planned everything and colluded with Emperor Entertainment to set Jiang Yuning up, tarnis.h.i.+ng here reputation and destroying her career prospects, just because he wanted to annul his engagement to her. He was really a sc.u.mbag.
The public also commented about how despicable Huo Yuxi was because she had already known that Lu Zongye was already engaged, and yet she still seduced and went after him.
Huo Yuxi also tried to threaten and coerce Jiang Yuning into sacrificing herself, just so that she could protect her own reputation. Huo Yuxi’s acting was really so incredible that it was no wonder she was one of the top actresses.
Emperor Entertainment was also depicted in a bad light for plotting against and sacrificing one of their own artistes just for monetary gains.
Director Xu and his pregnant wife were also heavily criticized for creating false rumors and being overly dramatic.
“Miss Jiang, would you like to express how you are feeling at the moment?”
“Miss Jiang, is there anything that you would like to say to Chairman Lu?”
The reporters started swarming around Jiang Yuning, trying to get her comments but Jiang Yuning merely put on her sungla.s.ses and waved them away. “There is nothing much that I would like to say. He is a sc.u.mbag and she is a b.i.t.c.h; they are a pair made in heaven. So, I hope that they will get engaged as soon as possible instead of going around throwing their money to try and harm more innocent people.”
The reporters wanted to get more information out of Jiang Yuning, but she had already gotten into her car and drove away.
The twelve tall and muscular bodyguards who were standing nearby quickly ran up and held back the reporters, allowing Jiang Yuning to make her smooth escape.
Jiang Yuning knew that those bodyguards did not appear out of thin air. She was also clear that there were only two people who were capable of protecting her at the moment. The first one was her brother, Ku Jie and the other person was none other than Lu Jingzhi.
Obviously, this was the work of her G.o.d-like idol.
However, she did not know that her idol was not done yet, because Jiang Yuning did not witness what was about to happen next.
…
Two men dressed in black arrived at the maternity ward of Anning Hospital. They entered the room that Jiang Yuning had just been in.
“Mrs. Xu, we are lawyers representing the Lu family. The reason why we are here today is to get you to reveal the reason why you set up Miss Jiang and framed her. If you choose not to cooperate with us, then we will make sure that you and your husband will lose everything that you have. Besides that, all your brothers and sisters will also pay the price. Last but not least, we will also reveal the fact that you have been having an extramarital affair behind your husband’s back.”
Mrs. Xu was shocked when she heard what the men had just said. After all, no one knew that she had an extramarital affair.
Besides that, one of the two men was a very well-known and established lawyer. She had heard of him before. He had a very high success rate in all of the cases that he represented.
Therefore, she was certain that there were indeed lawyers representing the Lu family.
Lu Zongye wanted to frame Jiang Yuning, so who was the one wanting her to sell Lu Zongye out?
No matter who it was, Mrs. Xu knew what decision she had to make. If she told the truth and sold Lu Zongye out, all she had to do was to return him the money that she had already taken from him. However, if she were to offend whoever was backing Jiang Yuning up, she would risk losing everything that she had. She was not stupid.
The Lu family was indeed very difficult to deal with.
As Jiang Yuning was driving home, Mrs. Xu who had just pretended that her stomach was hurting just awhile ago suddenly accepted an unofficial interview from the reporters. Mrs. Xu started apologizing to Jiang Yuning as she gave her statement.
“I am really sorry for everything that has happened, Miss Jiang. In fact, one week ago, I already knew that Miss Jiang was innocent and that everything that happened at the hotel one week ago was pre-planned because Emperor Entertainment and Lu Zongye had paid my husband a big sum of money to put on this show. The purpose of the act was so that Miss Jiang’s would have a bad reputation and therefore, Lu Zongye would be able to annul his engagement.”
“Miss Jiang, please be gracious and forgive my husband and I for all that we had done to you. I am pregnant now, so although I could be without my husband, I do not want my son to be without a father.”
“I am truly sorry for everything that had happened and for all the consequences that rose because of this incident. I hope that Miss Jiang can forgive me and my husband for doing such a despicable thing to you just because we were tempted by the money offered by Lu Zongye.”
“Once again, I am truly sorry Miss Jiang. I hope that it is not too late for regrets and that you will be able to accept my apology.”
Jiang Yuning had just parked her car in front of the villa when she received a video that was forwarded by Ku Jie. If things could be resolved so easily, why did she have to go all the way to the hospital today?
Forgiveness? Only children seek for forgiveness. Adults only plan their revenge.
Jiang Yuning kept her cell phone and was just about to enter the villa when she received a phone call from Lu Zongye.
“Jiang Yuning, are you for real? You got to be kidding me,” Lu Zongye roared over the phone.
Jiang Yuning quickly hung up as soon as she heard Lu Zongye’s words. He had already framed her so many times. Did he think that she would not dare to retaliate?
Although they had known each other ever since they were young and they grew up together, all Jiang Yuning could remember was how evil Lu Zongye was.
After all, this was not the first time that he had done something bad to her.
Jiang Yuning quickly made a phone call to Ku Jie when she thought about that sc.u.mbag. “Brother, let’s give Lu Zongye another surprise gift.”
“Alright, I will arrange it for you,” Ku Jie replied cheerfully on the other side of the line.
…
Everyone thought that the scandal and gossip had already come to an end when Mrs. Xu’s confession was released.
The ugliness of mankind was not divided just because they are n.o.bles or from different social circles.
Netizens started labeling Lu Zongye as the worst kind of sc.u.mbag that had ever existed in this world. In their opinion, he could not be any more disgusting than he already was.
However, at 5 pm sharp in the evening, X Society suddenly released more news regarding Lu Zongye. X Society released countless numbers of intimate photographs of Lu Zongye and several female artistes. This thoroughly destroyed whatever image that Lu Zongye still had.
This time, the photographs not only affected Lu Zongye, but it also affected the Lu family directly.
As the scandal was gradually growing out of control, even the Lu family reputation was at stake. Therefore, Lu Zongye was summoned back to the Lu family mansion before he could even finish his board meeting.
At this time, Lu Zongye’s father, Lu Zhengbai and several other elders of the Lu family were sitting in the Lu family mansion’s living room.
“Look at what you have done!” Lu Zhengbai slammed his hand on the table as soon as he saw his son. “Even if you do not like Yuning or even if you do not like the marriage that your grandfather had arranged for you, it is unethical for you to resort to this kind of despicable means!”
“Dad, the Jiang family had already fallen for so many years. Jiang Yuning is nothing more than a lowly actress that no one even respects anymore. Who knows how many men she had slept with before? How can I marry a girl like that?” Lu Zongye was not satisfied and refuted his father.
“You—”
“Can you repeat what you just said?” At this moment, a low voice carrying a majestic aura was suddenly heard.
The crowd quickly turned around to look at the door. Lu Jingzhi was wearing a full black trench coat and he had an indifferent expression on his face as he walked through the door.
