Chapter 344: Geez, Still Acting
[There was still chaos all across the Internet last night but Short Jiang managed to keep the situation under control almost immediately. Short Jiang is really a fairy.]
[I was visiting another artiste’s forum earlier and the other artiste’s fans are so envious of us! Our Sister Yuning is really the most awesome!]
[Me too! I was just chatting with a few friends and they all have their own idols but they also praised me for being Short Jiang’s fan. They said that this was the first time that they had ever witnessed any artiste handling their own public relations matter in an an efficient manner.]
[Short Jiang’s amazing personality is what makes her stand out!]
[All of you are focusing on the wrong thing! Didn’t you hear what Short Jiang said? She was going to record and release the song that she sang at the anniversary celebration last night to the public. I am really looking forward to it!]
[Please make sure that you turn on your television at half past seven tonight. The beautiful physician, Lin Ping’er, will be making her appearance. Do you understand?]
Everyone was astonished.
[The person above is really good at promoting her idol.]
Jiang Yuning undoubtedly received many good reviews from everyone in the entertainment industry.
The public relations department in Guangying Media had also approached Shen Yichen to tell him that they would never want to write Jiang Yuning’s statements in the future because they were afraid that they would embarra.s.s themselves.
Shen Yichen had already known and discovered that Jiang Yuning had talent in this aspect ever since a long time ago. However, he simply thought that Jiang Yuning was good at managing public relations because she was really intelligent and she would always conduct diligent research before she did anything.
Nevertheless, even though Jiang Yuning had already cleared the air and announced her stand to the public, this did not mean that this matter was already over for Jiang Yuning.
There were still some scores that she had to settle.
…
Later that afternoon, Jiang Yuning brought Vera along with her as they visited Yi Fan’s agency. She wanted to meet up with Yi Fan today because she had to resume her filming tomorrow.
Since Yi Fan also put on such a good act in front of her last night, Jiang Yuning wanted to reciprocate in the same manner. Therefore, she chose to put on an act and smiled as she approached Yi Fan.
Didn’t Yi Fan say it before?
Only children spoke about forgiveness. Adults would simply retaliate. An eye for an eye.
When Yi Fan stepped out of her recording studio at three o’clock in the afternoon, she heard that Jiang Yuning had come to the agency to visit her. She felt a little worried at that time. Did Jiang Yuning find out that she was the mastermind behind the kidnap attempt already?
However, as Yi Fan thought about it, she felt that it was not possible. If Jiang Yuning really found out about it, she would have exposed her immediately instead of appearing right here in front of her.
Yi Fan could only blame herself for not planning well enough. She had never expected Jiang Yuning to be that skillful. She would never have thought that Jiang Yuning would be able to subdue two young men all by herself.
Jiang Yuning was even going to release her song to the public soon.
However, no one had discovered the similarities between the two songs so far. Even if anyone were to find out about it, Yi Fan was confident that she would be able to pull it off and insist that the song belonged to her.
What was even more upsetting was the fact that Yi Fan had simply created an opportunity for Jiang Yuning to establish a positive image in front the the netizens and the public.
Jiang Yuning’s team was really difficult to handle.
However, Yi Fan did not know that Jiang Yuning and Vera were the only people on her team.
“Yuning, why are you here?”
“Didn’t we make an appointment to have a meal together today? I am going back to my filming set tomorrow, so I think that I have time to grab dinner with you,” Jiang Yuning replied with a smile. “Will you be free today?”
“Yes. Just give me a moment. I know of a nice restaurant nearby. We can go there together in a short while.” After that, Yi Fan left Jiang Yuning and Vera before she went to inform her agent about her whereabouts.
After arriving at the restaurant, they sat down and at this time, Yi Fan was very confident and enthusiastic because she did not know that Jiang Yuning was in fact a sly fox.
“I would never have expected you to meet with such a dangerous situation after I left last night. I was really relieved when I saw your public relations statement earlier today,” Yi Fan said as she poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yuning.
“I also did not expect the students from B University to be that desperate enough to carry out such a malicious act.”
“Have you gotten any news or updates from the police at all?” Yi Fan asked immediately. She was very concerned about the outcome of the investigation. Although the man whom she bribed had already ran away, Yi Fan had to handle this matter in a cautious manner because she knew that Jiang Yuning was a very intelligent person.
Jiang Yuning smiled before she took the tea cup in her hand and said, “After conducting some investigations and after interrogating the two students last night, the police officer found out that a school staff member was bribed into committing this crime. However, that man had already disappeared before the police could get to him.”
“Oh, that is such a pity. Will the case be closed then?”
“Of course not,” Jiang Yuning replied affirmatively. “Yi Fan, I was just having a conversation with some of the people in your agency earlier and…there is something that I am a little curious to know.”
“What is it?”
“Last night, you told me that you had something on in the company and that is the reason you had to leave earlier. However, the staff in your agency told me that you didn’t return to the agency last night, “Jiang Yuning spoke as she stared directly into Yi Fan’s eyes.
“Well, I headed straight to the recording studio as soon as I arrived at the agency last night. Therefore, it is not really that surprising that they did not see me at all. Yuning, why are you asking about this?”
“Well, the staff that I spoke to happened to be the staff working at your recording studio.”
The expression on Yi Fan’s face changed immediately before she frowned and looked at Jiang Yuning. “What are you implying?”
“I am not implying anything. Don’t be so nervous. I just wanted to know why you…lied to me?” Jiang Yuning replied as she continued smiling throughout. Moreover, Jiang Yuning was very polite and she did not use any excessive language in her sentences at all. At this time, Jiang Yuning was only focused on playing around with her prey.
“I had to deal with some personal matters. Is it wrong for me to find an excuse to leave the event a little earlier?” Yi Fan asked Jiang Yuning as she crossed her arms in front of her chest out of frustration. “Yuning, just get to the point already. What are you trying to say here? There is no need for you to beat around the bush.”
“The police officer looked into the footage on the surveillance camera in B University when they were conducting their investigation last night. They found out that the suspect had stepped out of a black Mercedes-Benz at B University just a few days ago…”
“Jiang Yuning! Don’t tell me you suspect that the car belongs to me?” Yi Fan asked as she laughed disdainfully. “Are you really implying that I had instigated the whole thing? You think that I was the one who had planned this kidnap attempt? Jiang Yuning, you are unbelievable. You had better…produce some evidence to prove what you have just accused me of. Otherwise, there is nothing else left to say between both of us in the future.”
“You have always liked high heels, right?”
Yi Fan was even more confident when she heard Jiang Yuning’s random question. She was certain that Jiang Yuning did not have any evidence on hand and that she was simply trying to fish for more information.
“I can finally understand why Zhong Hongyu is unable to let go of the grudges between both of you even after so many years. It must be because of you, Jiang Yuning! We were all cla.s.smates in the past. Is it really necessary for you to treat everyone as your imaginary enemies? Yes, you used to be a G.o.ddess and all of us were so jealous and envious of you in the past. However, do you really think that I need to spend so much time and effort to set you up now?”
Sure enough, Yi Fan was a much better actress as compared to Zhong Hongyu.
Zhong Hongyu’s acting was very clumsy but Yi Fan was more meticulous and detailed in her acting.
“This is actually the reason I have come to look for you today,” Jiang Yuning replied.
“Ohh…” Yi Fan looked at Jiang Yuning with a cold expression on her face before she asked, “So, are you simply looking for a scapegoat to take responsibility for whatever happened to you?”
“License plate number XX-x.x.xXX. Does it belong to you?”
Yi Fan froze immediately.
“Yi Fan, even though you tried really hard to cover up your license plate, I am sorry but I have discovered that the car belongs to you anyway. I like to uncover such little tricks. Have you already forgotten what I’m like?”
“Jiang Yuning, yes you’re right. This is my license plate number, but how does that mean that this was the car that had appeared at B University to drop off the suspect?”
Geez, still acting.
