Chapter 316: Is Your Idol Doing a Live Broadcast?
‘Twas today, at this doorway, a year ago, her face was glowing just like the peach blossoms.
I can no longer see her face, but the peach blossoms is still here as the spring wind blows.
After Jiang Yuning finished writing her poem, she placed a chrysanthemum flower on top of the piece of paper.
Loyal fans…
[Ahh! Go away! I need to take a screenshot of this.]
[Oh no. We are done for. Is this the threshold for chasing after idols nowadays? Our Sister Yuning wrote the chrysanthemum font so beautifully.]
[This font is really so beautiful. I must really sign up for classes to learn how to write it!]
[Little fairy, please write a few more words for us. We really enjoy watching you!]
Jiang Yuning looked at the time on her watch after she was done writing before she unexpectedly said, “Alright, all students should go offline now. It is time for bed already.”
[Sister Yuning, your live broadcast was only twenty minutes! Why is your live broadcast so short?]
“Who said that it’s short?” Jiang Yuning asked immediately.
[No. Sister Yuning, please continue. We still want to watch you!]
“Forget it. Everyone should just go offline now. Your idol is going off to chase her idol too! I will write for all of you again some other time. Next time, I will teach all of you how to write beautifully.”
This was because Jiang Yuning already heard Lu Jingzhi’s footsteps outside the door.
[Our little fairy is also chasing after idols?]
[No! Little fairy, please stay online.]
[This is the shortest live broadcast in history…]
After that, Jiang Yuning went offline in the blink of an eye.
Wilful!
However, all the Ginger Candies were extremely satisfied because they had the opportunity to spend some time watching their beloved idol write such beautiful calligraphy with a calligraphy brush.
How could Xia Yun ever be compared to Jiang Yuning? A person’s upbringing can be seen from the way they carried themselves.
People like Xia Yun who acted like clowns just to increase their own popularity should be nailed to the column of shame.
It was not long before Jiang Yuning’s calligraphy skills appeared on the hot search on the Internet again.
This was because Jiang Yuning was hardcore. She wrote calligraphy during her live broadcast and this was something that she could not fake. This was her real talent.
Therefore, the netizens could not help but agree that this little fairy was indeed very unique and talented in many ways.
[It’s no wonder why my daughter kept insisting on signing up for a calligraphy class just now. She must have seen Jiang Yuning writing so beautifully with a calligraphy brush. Very good. Jiang Yuning is a very good influence indeed.]
[Loyalty to the country? No! I really can’t stop laughing.]
[Xia Yun’s fans, why don’t you come out and defend your idol now? Can you accept that my idol is really talented and capable right now? Do you admit that your idol is completely defeated?]
When Xia Yun’s fans saw the hot search trending on the Internet, they had no choice but to retreat immediately. This was because they knew that Xia Yun could not be compared to Jiang Yuning at all. It turned out that there were still people who were pursuing more ancient things such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and also painting. Moreover, Xia Yun’s fans had initially said that Jiang Yuning deceived her fans. However, Jiang Yuning looked beautiful in her cheongsam today.
[Am I the only one who heard that the little fairy is going offline to chase after her idol? Did anyone else hear what she said?]
[I want to know!]
[I want to know! +1]
[I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonight if I can’t find out who her idol is!]
After that, another topic started trending on the Internet. #Jiang Yuning’s Idol# Everyone was curious and everyone wanted to know who Jiang Yuning admired.
However, after conducting much research and looking through so much materials on Jiang Yuning, no one could find out who Jiang Yuning admired.
Jiang Yuning had hidden it really well, right?
Later that night, Jiang Yuning was taking a shower in the bathroom.
Lu Jingzhi had already taken a shower earlier that night. Therefore, he pushed open the door of the live broadcast room before walking inside. At this time, he immediately noticed the banner containing the four words ‘loyalty to the country’ hanging on the wall. Lu Jingzhi could not help but chuckle to himself.
This little descendant really had plenty of tricks up her sleeves.
Jiang Yuning hugged her man from the back before she suddenly asked, “What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will be hiding a man in here?”
Lu Jingzhi leaned his head sideways as he looked at Jiang Yuning through his perfect side profile, “Would you dare to?”
“Well, I just told my fans that I was going offline because I had to chase after my idol.”
“Who is this idol that you are chasing?”
“Who else do you think it is?”
Lu Jingzhi closed the door of the live broadcast room before he turned around and carried Jiang Yuning up in his arms. “So, what would you like your idol to do for you?”
“Wow. You know the meaning of idol too? Second Brother, my requests are not that simple…I am not that easy to please. I want you to kiss me, hug me, and carry me in your arms everyday.”
Lu Jingzhi spent time on the Internet every day checking out news about his wife. From time to time, he would also take the time to look at his wife’s social media profile and check out her official fan page.
Therefore, it was not that difficult for Lu Jingzhi to learn the terms that were frequently used in the entertainment industry.
“I will give myself to you.”
“Second Brother, you cannot do this if I am your fan.”
Lu Jingzhi walked towards the bedroom before he rubbed his nose against the tip of Jiang Yuning’s nose. “I am legally allowed to do it anyway.”
The poem that Jiang Yuning had written for her fans was screenshotted and posted on Jiang Yuning’s official fan page the very next day.
Your idol did a live broadcast? She wrote calligraphy and ended the live broadcast in less than twenty minutes?
[Hahaha. Everyone should look at Jiang Yuning’s official fan page. I really can’t stop laughing.]
[She did a live broadcast just to teach her fans how to write calligraphy? And she was only online for twenty minutes before she went offline to chase after her own idol?]
[Loyalty to the country? Hahaha…Sister Yuning is really hilarious.]
[What kind of fairy is she? She is really different compared to all the artistes out there.]
[Sorry. All of us are helpless over here…]
[I laughed so hard last night. Jiang Yuning is really amazing!]
Everyone had already forgotten all about Xia Yun and no one was paying any more attention to her.
This was because it was really embarrassing for Xia Yun to have faked the votes and data. Moreover, the number of followers that Jiang Yuning had outnumbered Xia Yun’s as soon as she created her account.
Therefore, the Ginger Candies decided to send a message to Xia Yun’s fans at this time.
[It’s not that we didn’t want to report any information at all. It’s just that the time wasn’t right!]
What was even more important was the fact that the report about Xia Yun’s provocative dancing on her live broadcast caused her live broadcast channel to be suspended immeidately.
This was definitely harmful to an artiste’s reputation.
In the future, once you have already climbed so high up the ladder, you had better make sure to guard your own reputation.
Xia Yun’s fans were all completely beaten and shattered because Xia Yun was already all the way at the top and it hurt to see her fall so badly.
They were constantly mocking and making fun of Jiang Yuning but they did not expect that everything was in fact a set up and fraud by Xia Yun’s agency.
Xia Yun had no choice but to be low-key because of this matter. Moreover, she knew that Jiang Yuning would definitely have a way to deal with her if she tried anything funny again.
…
Everything passed by in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Jiang Yuning was busy preparing for the filming of .
However, Jiang Yuning had unexpectedly received a special letter, which was an invitation from B University to all the alumni from the music course. B University sent the invitation to invite all the artistes who were alumni of the music course to return and participate in the university’s fiftieth anniversary celebration. The event would take place in November and the timing was close to the broadcast date for the drama .
She was a student who had dropped out of college even before completing her freshman year. So, how could she participate in their fiftieth anniversary celebration?
Therefore, both Jiang Yuning and Vera were very troubled over this matter.
Vera did not dare to bring this matter up deliberately in front of Jiang Yuning,
This was because she knew that it would hit Jiang Yuning’s sore spot. There were not many artistes who graduated from B University. Jiang Yuning was very popular right now and therefore, B University had decided to extend their invitation to Jiang Yuning to show their generosity. This way, they placed the burden of deciding to attend the event onto Jiang Yuning’s shoulders.
This meant that Jiang Yuning was placed in a very difficult spot.
If she participated…she would lack the confidence and feel as though she was not worthy.
If she chose not to participate, then the public would definitely make fun of Jiang Yuning for not completing college. It seemed as though there was no right thing to do at all.
“Yuning…”
“I am fine,” Jiang Yuning replied as she shook her head indifferently. There was no emotions in her eyes at all.
Chapter 317: Are All the Fans So Outstanding Nowadays?
“There are so many artistes in the entertainment industry who are not well-educated and are not university graduates anyway. So, why can’t everyone just put this behind them already? Even if you don’t possess high academic qualifications, what is the issue? Isn’t it enough for you to be good at acting? Yuning, no matter what anyone says, you can just prove them wrong through your actions.”
“Vera, after filming , I would like to take six months off from acting to attend lessons at the film academy. I may not be a university graduate but this does not mean that I should not be working hard. I have to prove myself to those who are constantly trying to bring me down. I also have to work hard and have this determination so that in the future, the Lu family can never say that I gave up on myself.”
When Vera saw the look of determination in Jiang Yuning’s eyes, Vera nodded her head and expressed her support for her. “I will help you find out the entry requirements for the acting classes at the film academy.”
“I would also like you to help me to reply the music department of B University. Please let them know that I will definitely be attending and participating in the fiftieth anniversary celebration.”
“That’s the spirit,” Vera replied as she patted Jiang Yuning’s shoulder. “You are so popular nowadays, so what else do you have to be afraid of? Furthermore, it is not as if you do not have any musical talent at all. By the way, have you finished writing the song that you were composing for Second Young Master Lu?”
Jiang Yuning blinked her eyes before she replied, “Yes, I have already finished composing it but I still don’t think that it is good enough.”
“Okay, listen to the song and see if there is anything that I should improve on.”
This time, Jiang Yuning was very generous as she played the entire song that she had composed on the piano. As she had not written the lyrics yet, this was just a pure piano version of the song.
After listening to Jiang Yuning playing the piano, Vera could not help but sigh. “It is such a waste. I believe that if you had not dropped out of college in the past, you would definitely be a great singer now. I have already recorded what you played on the piano earlier on your cell phone. You can listen to it yourself and see how beautiful your song is.”
Jiang Yuning took her cell phone and saved the recording before she nodded her head. “I got it.”
Vera smiled at Jiang Yuning before she picked up her bag from the sofa. “I will find out the necessary information about the film academy for you now. After that, I will meet up with Director Shen to discuss your schedule and any subsequent follow-up arrangements with him. Anyway, I seem to recall that most of the film academy’s acting classes are usually conducted in the fall. Therefore, there is still a long way to go after you finish filming . I will continue arranging and looking for resources for you in the meantime.”
“Alright then. I will follow all of your arrangements,” Jiang Yuning answered Vera as she imported the recording into her song list.
There were a few parts in the song that she was not satisfied with but she did not know how to make it better.
That was the reason why she had decided to put the recording in her song list. She might have some new inspiration if she kept listening to the song.
…
Vera responded to B University’s invitation on behalf of Jiang Yuning later that evening.
However, a few days later, news about Jiang Yuning’s participation leaked out to the public.
Therefore, the public started talking about the fact that Jiang Yuning had dropped out of college five years ago again.
Was B University mocking the graduates of the college?
After all, strictly speaking, Jiang Yuning could not be considered an alumnus of B University at all.
[Is the music department of B University insane? How can they invite a person who has already dropped out of college during their freshman year to participate in the college’s fiftieth anniversary celebration? Are they trying to encourage their younger students to drop out of college since it is possible for them to attain glory anyway?]
[I agree. Jiang Yuning has already stopped playing music for such a long time. Why are they inviting her to participate in the event? Do they want us to watch her 4.0 rated acting skills? This is absolutely ridiculous.]
[We all know that it wasn’t easy for Jiang Yuning to finally regain some popularity after participating in the variety program . However, I don’t agree with the actions taken by the music department of the university. I don’t want Jiang Yuning to be representing the college!]
[Fortunately, the college did not put up posters of Jiang Yuning up on the walls. Otherwise, I would really spit out all of my food right now.]
B University’s forum was filled with people and overflowing with comments because everyone was very dissatisfied and unhappy about the situation. How could someone like Jiang Yuning, who did not even complete her freshman year, actually be invited to participate in the university’s alumni event?
In fact, the music department of B University felt very helpless at this time. After all, they had acted on impulse and sent the invitation to Jiang Yuning only because of her popularity. They had never expected her to actually agree to participate in the event.
What was even more surprising was that no one knew how this matter got leaked out to the public.
The students and alumni of B University were all very unwilling and resistant towards Jiang Yuning’s participation, to the point that this matter was almost brought up to the chancellor’s office.
However, what else could they do when the invitation letter had already been delivered?
Therefore, B University could only move forward. They decided that they would assign Jiang Yuning the role of a guest during the event.
The most hateful person was the person who had leaked out the information.
When Jiang Yuning’s fans heard about this news and when they saw what the netizens had posted and commented about Jiang Yuning, they were all heartbroken and they cried until their eyes were red and swollen.
[Do you think that Sister Yuning dropped out of college because she wanted to? Do you think that she did it willingly? Why are you trying to mock and humiliate her? Are you that great just because you are a university graduate? Did they teach you to make fun of others in college?]
[What makes you think that you are more superior than others? Are you so great just because you learned music? Are you very famous now?]
[Do you know what generation it is right now? Do you think that people still measure others by their academic qualifications? In my opinion, it does not matter even if you have high academic qualifications when your character and personality is so terrible!]
[I will always support Jiang Yuning. I feel so frustrated right now because of this group of people!]
[I…am a Harvard graduate but I am still supportive of Jiang Yuning and I am one of her loyal fans. Her lack of academic qualifications do not stop me from liking her because I know she has an amazing personality.]
[I…am a graduate from MIT and I am a guy but I still like Jiang Yuning. She will always be a fairy to me. So what if you are a graduate of B University? Why don’t you come out and meet up with me so that I can find out how great you really are?]
[I…am from Cambridge!]
[Wow. Are all the fans so outstanding nowadays?]
As they were afraid that the netizens would question their academic qualifications, each and every one who had said they were graduates from prestigious universities subsequently posted their certificate online to prove that they were not lying.
So, what was so great about B University? We will always protect Jiang Yuning!
When the students saw the graduates from prestigious universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Cambridge standing up for Jiang Yuning, they could only keep their mouth shut.
What else could they do when these people were from the most prestigious universities around the world?
How could they refute them?
The matter continued escalating in B University’s forum for a couple of days before each and everyone of them finally shut up because of the Ginger Candies’ academic qualifications.
Who were they looking down on?
Vera was also furious at first and she was already thinking of all sorts of public relations methods to deal with the situation. However, the Ginger Candies had somehow unexpectedly resolved the matter by appearing on B University’s forum and shutting up all of the students immeidately.
Happy!
Relieved!
“Yuning, this is good news. The Ginger Candies are more and more united nowadays,” Vera said as she was really pleased with their performance.
“Me too. I did not expect them to protect me in this manner,” Jiang Yuning replied as she was also very impressed with the Ginger Candies. “I have already decided that my next live broadcast with the Ginger Candies will definitely be longer than half an hour!”
“Then, you had better take advantage and make use of the time that you have left to stream your live broadcast before the filming for begins. As for the matter relating to B University, I will have to find out who leaked the information out to the public. Who are they trying to mess with? Did they think that we do not have any temper at all?” Vera replied immediately. Now that Jiang Yuning was already very popular in the entertainment industry, there were a lot of things that they could do without beating around the bush.
“Alright then, I will be waiting for your news.” In fact, Jiang Yuning already had some vague suspicions in her heart. “Perhaps you can focus your investigation on…Zhong Hongyu.”
“Do you think that this was her doing?”
“Didn’t we humiliate her the other night? Although she would not dare to spread any rumors out in the open, I am certain that she would definitely be trying all sorts of ways to get her revenge on me. You should also check up on Young Master Lin,” Jiang Yuning replied indifferently.
Vera nodded her head. “You can relax and not worry about it. I will come to the bottom of this matter for you. What do you intend to do if you find out that Zhong Hongyu is indeed the one who leaked the information out to the public?”
“Since she seem to be unable to stop reminiscing about the past, then…I will help her relive her college days once again.”
Chapter 318: The Cunning Little Fox is Online Again
Vera stole a glance at Jiang Yuning and she suddenly felt extremely bad for Zhong Hongyu.
The cunning little fox was online again.
If they found out that this matter was indeed related to Zhong Hongyu, then there was no longer any other way out for her and she would be sent to hell directly.
Vera continued staying at the Royal Dragon Villa to accompany Jiang Yuning until Second Young Master Lu finally came home from work. The lights in the living room were turned on and the warm yellow lighting made the home look very cozy and heartwarming.
“Has everything going on in the B University forum been resolved?”
After Lu Jingzhi sat down on the sofa, Jiang Yuning quickly sat down on his lap. “Then, why don’t you answer my question first? Were you the one who left a message on the forum saying that you graduated from the physics department of NTU? Was it you?”
“Why do you think that it was me?”
“Are you kidding? The physics department of NTU is so much more prestigious in comparison to Cambridge or Harvard. I am pretty certain that my husband is involved in this matter,” Jiang Yuning replied as she stared at Lu Jingzhi. “When did you become a part of the Ginger Candies?”
“Secretary Ho posted that comment…”
“What?”
“Secretary Ho was my junior,” Lu Jingzhi continued explaining himself. “He is also a graduate from NTU.”
“Are you trying to scare everyone off?” Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh out loud. “Husband, I am really so blessed to have all of you protecting me.”
“Vera told me that you want to go to the film academy to further your studies?”
As soon as Lu Jingzhi brought this matter up, Jiang Yuning retreated from Lu Jingzhi’s embrace before she nodded. “Yes. I did not tell you about this matter beforehand because I was not sure if I would meet the entry requirements to attended classes at the academy. Vera brought me some good news today. She told me that I have been invited to attend an interview with the school board in June next year. If I successfully pass the interview, I will be able to start attending classes in the fall. Second Brother, I just want to continue improving myself because I want Grandpa Lu to accept me and think that I am good enough for you when he finds out that we are already married in the future.”
Lu Jingzhi hugged the little descendant tightly in his arms again after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words.
“Silly girl. No matter what your status or academic qualifications are, I will always love you.”
“What? What did you just say? I did not hear you clearly. Second Brother, could you repeat what you have just said?” Jiang Yuning asked as she rubbed Lu Jingzhi’s handsome face gently.
It was very rare for Lu Jingzhi’s cheeks to be flushed red.
“I will not repeat good things twice.”
After that, Lu Jingzhi pushed Jiang Yuning aside before he went upstairs to change out of his clothes so that he could take a bath.
Jiang Yuning could not help but sigh as she stared at Lu Jingzhi’s back. “So arrogant and sexy. Ahh…he is just so charming.”
…
Vera visited the music department in B University the next day and she contacted the teacher in charge of the fiftieth anniversary celebration, as she was the one whom Vera had contacted when she had accepted the university’s invitation to the event on behalf of Jiang Yuning.
“To be honest, we were also very surprised when we received the response from Yuning indicating that she would be pleased to attend the event. Therefore, I had a brief meeting with the head of the music department with regards to this matter and there were only three other department leaders who knew about this matter. However, it is very unlikely that they would be the ones to leak this matter out to the public because the college had already informed us that this matter should be kept confidential at the moment.”
The teacher told Vera in a serious manner.
“Teacher, did you meet up with anyone suspicious at all during this time? Please try to recall since this incident has caused such a huge uproar and sensation on the Internet. Guangying Media has the responsibility to find out the root cause of the leak. It was not Yuning’s fault that she had dropped out of college during her freshman year. I believe that the college did not intend for this matter to be blown out of proportion too. We just want to find out the identity of the person who leaked the news out to the public. We need to find out if this person has any other malicious thoughts or ill intentions. Otherwise, it would also be a ticking time bomb for the university as you prepare for your fiftieth anniversary celebration. Don’t you agree with me?”
Vera’s request was very reasonable. Moreover, she was also very polite with her words. Therefore, the teacher tried her best to recall everyone that she had met up with recently.
“There was indeed a graduate from B University who had called me to ask if Jiang Yuning would be invited to attend the fiftieth anniversary celebration. However, I did not reply to her question at that time.”
“Who is she?”
“Speaking of this, that girl used to share the same dormitory with Jiang Yuning and they were roommates when they were both attending college together. She seems to be doing well in the music industry nowadays.”
As soon as Vera heard the word ‘roommates’, Vera felt as though the case had basically been resolved.
Vera left B University with a definitive answer but as soon as she entered the parking lot, she ran into Zhong Hongyu and her exclusive agent.
Zhong Hongyu felt guilty when she saw Vera because she had a guilty conscience and she knew exactly why Vera came here today.
However, she would never admit it.
“What a coincidence. I would not have expected to meet you here at all.”
Vera smiles as she unlocked her car with her car keys. “Oh, I am here to investigate about the person who leaked some confidential information to the public. Therefore, it really isn’t that much of a coincidence at all.”
“Oh, is that right? I too think that the people on the forum are really going too far. Although Yuning did not finish college, they should not have mocked and humiliated her in that manner. Yuning is really unlucky.”
“That is the exact reason why I am here today. Unfortunately, the next person to be unlucky…is none other than the person who leaked the matter out to the public.”
After that, Vera got into her car immediately.
The expression on Zhong Hongyu’s face turned a little ugly after hearing Vera’s words. This was because she was not sure if Vera really had evidence to prove her guilt or if Vera was deliberately acting this way because she did not like her ever since the incident at the hotel the other night.
Zhong Hongyu could not care less. She did not believe that Jiang Yuning would be able to get revenge on her for this matter.
Even if she was acquainted to any of those prestigious young masters, how would they be able to protect her at all times?
“Garbage.” Vera scolded Zhong Hongyu as she looked at the rear view mirror as she was driving out of the parking lot.
Jiang Yuning was kind enough to give her a way out but it seemed as though she was not grateful at all.
The more Vera thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated she was. Therefore, she decided to call Jiang Yuning to inform her about this matter.
“Your guess was right. Zhong Hongyu leaked the information because she wanted to take revenge. So, what do you plan to do now?”
“Help me to look for a post that was shared on the B University forum many years ago. The title of the post is: ‘A girl in the music department has dirty hands and is caught stealing on the spot.’”
Who was the ruthless one now?
Perhaps even Zhong Hongyu would have already forgotten that she had this kind of stain in her history.
At that time, she had gone to the other girls’ dormitory and she wanted to steal a Bvlgari perfume belonging to one of their classmates. At the end of the day, they had caught her red-handed because someone had found the perfume in Zhong Hongyu’s backpack. The incident caused a huge uproar in the music department for a few days and in the end, Zhong Hongyu could not stand it anymore. Therefore, she approached the classmate and knelt down in front of her as she apologised and begged for forgiveness. She had also paid her classmate before begging her to step forward and clarify on the forum that this matter was in fact just a huge misunderstanding.
Since she kept reminiscing the past, then Jiang Yuning would help her to relieve those moments from the past.
“I understand how you want this to be done. Just leave this matter to me,” Vera replied immediately without requiring any further explanation from Jiang Yuning. This was because there was a tacit understanding between both of them already.
“Since she wants to keep provoking me, then I have no choice but to teach her a lesson, then,” the cunning and sly fox replied as she smirked.
“Alright. You can sit back and wait to watch a good show,” Vera sneered.
“I think that it would be best if you approach and talk to the girl she stole from in the past first before sharing the post on the forum again.”
Zhong Hongyu would definitely approach the other party to ask for help again but this time, it would not be so easy anymore…
Jiang Yuning did not like this dark side that she had, but she had no choice as she did not want to be bullied. This was the price that the other party had to pay for making her a target.
She had already given Zhong Hongyu a chance to step back but she refused to listen. Therefore, this was the lesson that she had to learn.
…
Two days later, a new article titled #A certain singer was caught red-handed for stealing# started trending on the hot search on the Internet.
As soon as anyone clicked on the hot search, they were redirected to an article of a post that was posted in the B University’s forum as few years ago titled ‘A girl in the music department has dirty hands and is caught stealing on the spot.’
[B University’s forum is a really interesting place. Even a post from a few years ago is brought up to the public’s attention. What a surprising turn of events!]
[Initially, I was just going into B University’s forum to check out the news about Jiang Yuning. Who would have known that this would lead me to discover some juicier news instead?]
Chapter 319: You are Still So Dramatic
[I can’t believe that a post from so many years ago can be dug up. This is simply amazing.]
[How difficult can it be? She was apprehended but she was not expelled from college anyway.]
[The girl is the post seems to be none other than the singer Zhong Hongyu. I can’t believe that she was actually a thief who tried to steal someone else’s perfume in the past. What kind of person is she?]
[I compared the picture of the girl to a picture of Zhong Hongyu. It is definitely her.]
Very soon, Zhong Hongyu’s name started appearing on the hot search.
The netizens were very happy when they saw this juicy piece of news on the Internet. After all, Zhong Hongyu was pretty well known in the music industry because of her rock music. No one would have expected her to have such a tainted history.
Shortly afterwards, the netizens began conducting their research and investigation into Zhong Hongyu’s family background, and this subsequently triggered a series of reactions from the public.
First of all, the netizens pointed out the fact that Zhong Hongyu changed her age. She was already twenty-one years old when she was admitted into B University. It was not a huge problem for her to be attending college at an older age, but why did she lie that she was only twenty-three years old now?
Secondly, the netizens discovered that Zhong Hongyu had a long relationship history during her college days. This did not mean anything at all because it was not surprising for anyone to be in love during their schooling days. However, what was absolutely unacceptable was the fact that this woman had publicly stated that she was a very innocent student during her college days and that she did not have any time to fall in love at that time because she was focusing all of her time and effort on studying music.
Hmm…
She had dug her own grave.
[Zhong Hongyu is really full of lies! How can someone with her personality and character attract any fans at all?]
[She is really a very unpleasant person. She is not talented, she cannot sing well, and she even has a sh*tty personality to add on to the list.]
[How can this kind of third rate singer actually occupy most of the first class resources? I think that she should be blacklisted!]
Zhong Hongyu started to panic when she saw all the negative news and comments all over the Internet. The public relations team in her agency quickly stepped up to come up with a solution to deal with this matter and contain it before it would be blown out of proportions. However, it was impossible for Zhong Hongyu to refute all the solid evidence brought up by the netizens.
She was the one in control of her own personality.
Now that the truth had come to light, there was nothing that anyone could do to help her.
The agency weighed the weight of this matter and in their opinion, faking her age and pretending to be single during her college days were in fact not a big deal at all. However, the most important thing was the fact that Zhong Hongyu was a thief.
Therefore, they decided to place their focus on this matter instead. They contacted the other party immediately. The other party was none other than the girl whom Zhong Hongyu tried to steal the perfume from in the past. She was now a music teacher teaching piano lessons at B University.
As soon as they contacted the other party, she immediately agreed to come out and clarify the situation on behalf of Zhong Hongyu without any hesitation at all.
After finding out about this, Zhong Hongyu had a little more confidence and she quickly posted a message on her public social media account. “Anyone who is innocent and does not have a guilty conscience has nothing to fear at all. The truth will come to light soon.”
The netizens were all curious when they saw her comment. Would she still be able to turn this matter around in her favor?
Was she not the one who changed her age?
Was she not the one pretending to be single?
Was she not the one who stole from others?
In fact, the netizens did not care about all of this at all. After all, the netizens were not interested in anything that any of the artistes used to do or be involved in. What the netizens could not accept was simply the fact that Zhong Hongyu was full of lies whenever she opened her mouth.
[Anyone who is innocent and does not have a guilty conscience has nothing to fear at all. She is really very shrewd!]
[I feel sick after reading more news about her.]
[The truth has already come to light, so stop trying to turn things around.]
[I have heard of another juicy story. Zhong Hongyu’s current boyfriend used to be the most handsome boy in B University. He is now a music producer and it is no wonder why Zhong Hongyu could make it this far in the music industry.]
[Garbage! I heard that Zhong Hongyu was in fact the person who stabbed Jiang Yuning in the back and leaked out the news that she would be attending B University’s fiftieth anniversary celebration. They used to be classmates and roommates before Jiang Yuning dropped out of college. It seems as though Zhong Hongyu had always been jealous and envious of Jiang Yuning because she came from a wealthy and prestigious family. That is the reason she seized the opportunity to intentionally leak the information to the public so that Jiang Yuning would be humiliated and reprimanded by the netizens and students from B University.]
[Hahaha. This is what I call heaven’s retribution. Everyone was flocking to B University’s forum to read about the news involving Jiang Yuning but who would have known that they would find out about Zhong Hongyu’s scandals instead? This is really a very juicy piece of gossip!]
Zhong Hongyu was sitting on the sofa at home as she read through the netizens’ comments on the internet and she was so angry that she threw her cell phone onto the floor.
This was because she had never thought that her tainted history would be dug up one day.
Moreover, once a black spot was discovered, it was only a matter of time before all of her dark secrets were exposed one after another.
Zhong Hongyu could not help but shiver a little as she thought about all of the things that she used to do in the past.
She would spend many nights in the male dormitory during the holidays and aside from that, she would appear in many different male dormitories every other day.
“Sister Hong, is someone out to get you? Is Jiang Yuning the one manipulating you and doing all these behind your back?” Zhong Hongyu’s assistant asked in a gentle voice as she sat directly opposite Zhong Hongyu with a frightened expression on her face. After all, the assistant knew that Zhong Hongyu had a foul temper and she would often smash anything in her way whenever she got angry.
“Who else could it be?” Zhong Hongyu replied as she sat on the sofa with her eyes closed as she tried to meditate and keep her emotions under control. “So, this is how she wants to do things? Alright then. Perhaps I should let everyone in Luo City know about what Jiang Yuning and the three young masters had done that night in the hotel room.”
“Sister Hong, no one will believe you anymore. Moreover, I think that you should not do that because if you do so, you will definitely drag everyone else down with you. The agency might have to suffer along with you as well,” Zhong Hongyu’s assistant stopped her before she could act rashly. “You have to understand the status of the three young masters in Luo City. They are not people that those in the entertainment industry can afford to offend.”
“What should I do then? Should I just sit back and endure all of this humiliation?”
The assistant thought for a moment before she finally replied, “Sister Hong, why don’t you calm down first? We should clarify the matter involving the theft before we think of countermeasures to handle the public’s opinions, okay? Don’t worry too much about it for now.”
She had already fallen all the way down at the moment, so how could she not be anxious at all?
What Zhong Hongyu hated the most was the fact that she did not know more powerful people. That was the only reason why Jiang Yuning could trample all over her.
Things kept escalating on the Internet and the three words ‘Zhong Hongyu’ became a taboo among the entertainment industry in the blink of an eye.
Very soon, Zhong Hongyu’s agency arranged for Zhong Hongyu and the other party from the past to attend a press conference in front of the press and media.
Zhong Hongyu put on her superb acting skills once again and she started crying as soon as she faced the cameras.
“Everything in the past was really just a huge misunderstanding. Everyone has really misunderstood me. I really did not do anything shameful at all. This is contrary to all the teachings that my parents have taught me ever since I was a young girl. I swear that I did not steal anything, and that I am a decent and upright person. I do not condone stealing. Therefore, I hope that everyone will realize that this was all a misunderstanding and stop criticizing and attacking me for something I did not do.”
Everyone could not help but look at Zhong Hongyu’s pitiful face as she faced the cameras.
She looked pale and helpless, and it seemed as though she had not eaten at all for the past three days.
At this time, her agent quickly stepped forward to support Zhong Hongyu. “Hongyu is really beaten down and she has really suffered a lot because of everyone’s unjustified accusations for the past two days. She also came down with a high fever last night. I hope that everyone can understand the situation and clear their wrong perception of Hongyu after today’s clarification.”
“It’s okay. I can continue,” Zhong Hongyu said softly as she coughed twice. This made the young woman standing beside her feel nauseous immediately.
The young woman could not help but sneer as she looked at Zhong Hongyu, who looked helpless and weak in front of the cameras. “Zhong Hongyu, you are really good at acting…after so many years, you are still so dramatic.”
Chapter 320: Give You a Chance to Rephrase Your Sentence
“Hello, everyone. I was the party involved in the perfume incident in the past. I have decided that I will not disclose my name to the public. To be honest, I am still appalled because I really did not expect something that had happened more than five years ago to be dug up and brought to the attention of the public after so long. However, it is also understandable because to be a celebrity, your credibility and representation of yourself would have to withstand the test of time…”
“Just clarify the matter already…” Zhong Hongyu’s agent anxiously urged the woman who was standing beside her at this time.
After looking around at the people present at the press conference, the woman gave everyone a very definitive answer. “The reason I am standing here today is because I want everyone to know that the rumor about Zhong Hongyu stealing my perfume in the past is absolutely true.”
At this time, the media quickly took pictures of the woman.
What did she just said?
The accusations of Zhong Hongyu’s act of theft were true!
“You are lying!” Zhong Hongyu yelled as she glared at the woman with a fierce expression on her face.
Eh? Wasn’t Zhong Hongyu coughing earlier? Wasn’t she down with a high fever just yesterday? How could she be screaming and yelling at someone right now? Who would believe that she was actually sick?
She could not continue with her act anymore, could she?
“In the past, Zhong Hongyu stole the perfume that my brother had sent me and she was caught red-handed on the spot because one of our classmates found the perfume hidden in her backpack. However, even after she was apprehended on the spot, she continued denying it and insisted that someone had planted the perfume inside her backpack to frame her and set her up. I have decided to share the news on the university forum because I wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. Due to the huge attention that this incident had garnered from all of the students and the teachers, Zhong Hongyu could not take the pressure anymore and finally met up with me in private to resolve the matter. She repaid my by giving me two bottles of the same perfume, and she knelt down in front of me to beg for my forgiveness. I refused to accept her apology initially.”
“At that time, she even told me that she had already failed her college entrance exams three times and she had to go through three extra years of studies before she was finally accepted into the music course at B University. She said that she had gone through a lot to make it to where she was and she begged me not to take any actions against her. Finally, my heart softened and I decided to forgive her and accept her apology. That was the reason why I had gone to the forum and clarified that the entire matter was merely a huge misunderstanding. However, I did not expect her personality to still remain so terrible even after so many years.”
“Moreover, at the time of the incident, she had also hinted that it was one of her roommates who had placed the perfume in her backpack because they were unhappy and envious of her.”
“I believe that everyone would know who her roommates are. They are none other than the famous pianist, Tao Tao, the famous singer, Yi Fan, and also the popular artiste, Jiang Yuning.”
“This is all that I have to say regarding that incident in the past. I hope that everyone will stop bothering me about anything related to Zhong Hongyu in the future. I am just an ordinary teacher and I do not want to be on the hot search on the Internet. It is so embarrassing.”
After saying her piece, the woman walked through the members of the media and right out the door of Zhong Hongyu’s agency.
She was like a completely emotionless robot.
…
Because of the woman’s statement, Zhong Hongyu was under a lot of pressure from the media and reporters.
Everyone wanted to ask what Zhong Hongyu was trying to do to herself.
Many of the reporters at the press conference had also wanted to interview Zhong Hongyu personally. However, she suddenly blacked out and fainted in her agent’s arms because of her ‘high fever’.
However, this incident became an inside joke among the netizens.
[I thought that I would only ever be able to see someone pretending to faint in a television drama. Unexpectedly, we could actually see a singer performing this act at a press conference. I am laughing so hard that my stomach is hurting.]
[Would anyone refute my words if I said that Zhong Hongyu is a retard?]
[Agree with the statement above!]
[Agree with the statement above thirty two times!]
[It feels as though I am watching a drama.]
[Zhong Hongyu endured this for a few days and she even insisted that she was innocent. As a result, she held up a stone hammer and nailed herself firmly as the culprit.]
[Now the whole country knows that she was the one who had stolen the perfume! Hahaha. This operation to clear her own reputation has totally backfired on herself!]
[Zhong Hongyu should be kicked out of the entertainment industry now. She is such a terrible influence to society.]
Zhong Hongyu would never have expected that the witness that she had personally invited to appear in front of the media with her had already met up with Vera beforehand.
In fact, the other party was a very cool person. After hearing that Zhong Hongyu was still as terrible as she was in the past, the other party had agreed to help Vera and Jiang Yuning without hesitating at all.
If they did not teach a lesson to this kind of people, then they would certainly bring society down.
…
After Zhong Hongyu fainted at the press conference, her agent sent her home immediately.
In fact, her agent was not at all surprised at her tricks and antics because this was not the first time she had done something like that. Moreover, if her agent had decided to send her to the hospital, she would have to collude with the doctor and it would be very troublesome for her.
Since things had already developed to this point, there was no room for them to turn around anymore. This was because Zhong Hongyu’s agent had already received several phone calls to cancel all of their contracts with Zhong Hongyu. This also included the contract to compose the theme song for a movie, which the agency had spent a lot of effort and money into securing for Zhong Hongyu. She lost everything that she had in an instant.
“If I had known what kind of person you are, I would not have helped and supported you in everything that you did. Look at how everything turned out in the end. Everyone is mocking you right now. I think that you should just stay at home and avoid going out for the time being.”
Zhong Hongyu continued lying on her sofa. She had no idea about all that had happened during the press conference earlier.
Her career?
Was over.
Zhong Hongyu quickly sat up on the sofa before she made a phone call to Young Master Lin. However, as soon as the call was connected, Young Master Lin hung up on her immediately.
What did he meant by doing that?
Zhong Hongyu tried calling him again but he did not even answer her calls.
At this time, Young Master Lin was busy clarifying his relationship with her. After all, Zhong Hongyu could stop being a singer but he could not simply stop being a music producer.
“Sister Hong, you…should just calm down and relax first. It is useless for you to get all worked up right now,” Zhong Hongyu’s assistant said as she tried to calm Zhong Hongyu down.
Yes…
Whatever she did now would be useless anyway.
Who would have known that a post from so many years ago could ruin her reputation and career so easily?
Zhong Hongyu collapsed on the ground and she sat there for a long time, shaking her hands out of anger before she finally sent a text message to Jiang Yuning: “Did you do it?”
…
At this time, Jiang Yuning was busy preparing props for her live broadcast.
When Jiang Yuning saw the text message from Zhong Hongyu, she blocked her immediately before she tossed her cell phone aside.
Who cared about her anyway?
Not long after that, the lucky star’s close friends started spamming messages in the group chat. Jiang Yuning then picked up her cell phone to check out the messages.
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “Isn’t the singer who was ridiculed and disgraced online today the same woman we had taught a lesson to that night?”
Vera: “Yes. This retard kept provoking Yuning. She asked for it.”
Lost all four pants: “Wow, my sister-in-law is so impressive.”
Tycoon Xu: “I would not dare to provoke Sister-in-Law. I would not dare to provoke her at all. Why do I feel as though Sister-in-Law is becoming more and more like Jingzhi? They are really husband and wife without a doubt.”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “Do all of you have any opinions on that?”
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “Geez. I have already known since a long time ago that women are the most dangerous creatures…”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “I will give you a chance to rephrase your sentence.”
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “I have already known since a long time ago that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she will be…”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “Why do I feel as though something is wrong with that sentence?”
Tycoon Xu: “Stop worrying about the small details.”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “Tomorrow night. Three against one.”
Everyone: “…”
Could we not? Who would dare to win Sister-in-Law’s money?
Scenery suddenly appeared a short while later: “I will play with all of you tomorrow.”
Everyone: “We would rather play with Sister-in-Law, then. Second Young Master Lu, do you know that you have a special identity? How bad would it be if someone were to discover you?”
What kind of joke was this?
If they really had to play against this man, they would really lose everything that they had.
Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh out loud as she leaned against Lu Jingzhi’s body.
“Second Brother, you should go and shower first. I will look for you after my live broadcast.”
