Chapter 531: The Both of You Never Met Before, Right?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No matter what it was, Jiang Yuning was very cool.
After that, she even changed her social media account name to ‘Not looking for anyone in the entertainment circle’.
Wasn’t this clear enough? Anyone who was not blind should already understand her attitude at this time.
After that, the fact that Jiang Yuning changed her social media account name made it to the hot search again.
The netizens could only sigh as soon as they saw the news. How desperate must she have felt to have acted this way?
She had probably endured this for a long time.
After looking at Jiang Yuning and Guangying Media’s response, many of the passers-by finally woke up. Of course, some of those passers-by did not expect Jiang Yuning to react in this manner.
She could love whoever she wanted to.
Of course, after her counterattacks, Jiang Yuning felt that she finally had some room to breathe.
This was because even when she participated in the promotional events for <Nameless Orphan> with Xiao Chennan, it seemed as though no one was reprimanding or hurling insults at her anymore. Everything seemed to calm down a little.
However, Jiang Yuning sincerely hoped that the film emperor would take a break and stop releasing any fresh materials to the media.
Gu Hanwei tried many different channels in an attempt to contact Jiang Yuning personally but to no avail. In the end, he even contacted Director Shen Guobang to speak to Jiang Yuning.
Director Shen Guobang knew about Jiang Yuning’s situation and he knew that Jiang Yuning would definitely decline Gu Hanwei’s advances. However, since Director Shen Guobang had worked with Gu Hanwei in the past, he could not reject him directly. Therefore, Director Shen Guobang decided to call Jiang Yuning personally.
“I…I know that you find him really annoying right now but it is difficult for me to turn down his request without giving it a try. He told me that he sincerely wants to apologize to you and resolve the misunderstanding between the both of you. He has no other malicious intentions. Young girl, look…”
“Director Shen Guobang, I hope that you will not get involved in my personal affairs. I am really disgusted by him and I really do not want to see him at all. Therefore, I am sorry to trouble you but please tell him I said no. I think that this is really unnecessary,” Jiang Yuning refused without any hesitation at all. She did not even give it a second thought.
“Don’t you want to think about it at all? In fact, he is not as bad as the netizens make him out to be. I think that there is really a lot of misunderstandings between the both of you.”
“You think so? Director Shen Guobang, do you know how long I have been reprimanded and criticized on the internet because of him? I…I would have exploded a long time ago since I do not have a good temper or any patience at all. Therefore, since things have already turned out this way, I have no interest in meeting him at all, no matter what type of person he is. I want you to understand that I do not want to get involved with someone like you.”
“Can you give him a chance to explain himself, for my sake?” Director Shen Guobang finally used his last card. “It would already be great if you could just talk to him over the phone. He is right beside me now…”
“That is really unnecessary. I do not want to have any more trouble. I really appreciate your kindness but I do not wish to speak to him at all.”
“Alright then.” In fact, Director Shen Guobang knew Jiang Yuning very well.
He knew that this was a matter that Jiang Yuning could not forget so easily. Moreover, it was not difficult for anyone to get along with Jiang Yuning because she would usually be chatting and laughing around with everyone. However, the only reason why she rejected any contact with Gu Hanwei immediately was because this time, the misunderstanding between the both of them was really too deep.
…
After hanging up the phone, Shen Guobang looked at Gu Hanwei before he shook his head, “No. It is impossible to get her to talk to you. I think it is useless even if you approach anyone else.”
Gu Hanwei rubbed his nose gently before he nodded and said, “I guess my inaction have really caused her a lot of trouble.”
“I can’t say much but I know this girl’s temperament very well. She has a very strong personality and she will never give anyone any face if she does not want to. Moreover, she is not the type of person who would get angry for no reason at all. You must have hot her bottom line. Anyway, you don’t have to take it to heart. There is no need for you to make friends with everyone in the entertainment circle. It does not matter if you have a few enemies.”
If Gu Hanwei had acted sooner and if he had stepped up to clarify the matter as soon as it occurred, would things still end this way today?
There was always a start to everything. Gu Hanwei allowed the matter to ferment until it escalated to the way it was today without even coming out to give any explanation or express his position in public.
“Actually, I just want her to know that I…I am really not that kind of person.”
“What kind of person are you then? Why is it so important for you to explain yourself to her? Do you really have to get her to understand you?” Director Shen Guobang asked as he smiled helplessly. “Why don’t you listen to my advice and just let it go already? You are going to start filming your new movie soon and after a short while, this matter will be history.”
“I am afraid…I cannot live with that.”
Director Shen Guobang was surprised because he did not understand what Gu Hanwei meant.
“The both of you have never met before, right?”
“I…met her before.”
He saw her on the plane during their flight to Bali. He could not forget Jiang Yuning’s nosy and confident attitude at that time.
“Well, don’t be so hung up on it. Jiang Yuning has nothing to do with you anymore. Just take my advice and let it go, okay? You will have to start filming your movie soon. Don’t fall sick again. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome for you.”
Gu Hanwei could only nod his head.
It was such a pity. He had never seen anyone else like Jiang Yuning and he felt that it was really a pity that he could not get to know her at all.
…
After Jiang Yuning’s comment on her social media account, all the haters stopped immediately. Moreover, Guangying Media’s lawyer had also sent the lawyer letters to the relevant parties.
At this time, Jiang Yuning had also started her publicity journey because <Nameless Orphan> was going to be broadcasted soon.
As long as Jiang Yuning’s acting skills passed the test, the drama would definitely have a good rating and evaluation. After that, she would not need to worry about her career or whether she would get any drama resources in future.
Since the incident regarding <Desperate Line of Defense> was over, everything should already be over.
However, what was most embarrassing was during one of Gu Hanwei’s promotional activities, someone asked him about the charity dinner and about the drama, <Nameless Orphan>.
That was Gu Hanwei’s first public appearance ever since the turmoil over the love line between Jiang Yuning and himself. However, Gu Hanwei chose to answer the question in a generous manner.
“As long as it is a good drama, I will definitely watch it. In fact, I am looking forward to meeting her at the charity dinner.”
After that, the media continued asking him about his thoughts on Jiang Yuning.
At that time, the audience was silent because everyone was curious to find out what his answer would be. Everyone expected Gu Hanwei to bypass the question without answering at all.
Unexpectedly, he actually replied, “I admire her a lot.”
As soon as he started praising her, everyone was shocked.
“In fact, I really wish that I have a chance to get to know her. However, because of so many factors, we will never be able to get to know each other. Even though I have heard a lot of news about the love line between Jiang Yuning and myself, I have never once responded or expressed my view on the matter. That is the reason why things escalated and got out of control. I also did not have the opportunity to give her a formal apology after everything happened. I feel very sad whenever I think about this.”
The news about this incident spread very quickly and Jiang Yuning also heard the news shortly after that.
“I heard that the film emperor, Gu Hanwei has already apologized to you in public and he even gave the media a public explanation about this matter. For instance, the reason why he did not make an appearance in public to clarify the situation earlier was because he was suffering from severe depression. Moreover, he had never forced anyone to be in a relationship with him but all the actresses that he got into a relationship with him had always had mutual affection for him. He respects women and he has no intention of disrespecting anyone at all,” Vera explained over the phone. “I feel that he is really very sincere about his apology but it seems as though his fans are acting up again.”
“What are they up to this time?” Jiang Yuning asked immediately.
“Well, they said…that the reason why Gu Hanwei made a public apology and explanation is because he has feelings and affection for you. That is the reason why he chose to apologize and even reveal his illness to the public during a public event. This was proof that he cares about you and appreciates you very much…”
Chapter 532: Don’t Tell Me It Was a Mistake
“The impact of this incident is quite big. This is equivalent to Gu Hanwei revealing his privacy to the public. His fans also reported that they ran into him checking in at the hospital after his public appearance. It seems as though he has a pretty serious condition. Moreover, the fans and netizens also feel that you are very ruthless and heartless right now…” Vera explained.
Jiang Yuning: “…”
“The film emperor has already clarified the matter. I thought that you will finally have a way out and that you can finally have some room to breathe after this incident. However who would have expected this to happen? It seems as though the film emperor is still dragging you down with him even though his love and appreciation for you is one-sided. Even though I am convinced that he is not making things up, I have no sympathy for him at all. I really think that Gu Hanwei has negative EQ.”
“The charity dinner will be in a few days’ time. Initially, I thought that things would get better after the past few days. Who would have known that things would get so complicated again?”
Jiang Yuning did not feel as anxious as Vera. Since they had already prepared the press release statement for the public, she did not care what anyone else would be up to on that day.
“If you are so free, why don’t you make some arrangements for me instead?” Jiang Yuning asked over the phone.
This was because the director of <Suffocation> has previously requested for Jiang Yuning to attend some extra acting classes because he wanted Jiang Yuning to be able to portray the role of a mother who was struggling to make ends meet just so that she could take care of her own child.
Even though she seemed like a person from a well off family, she was still struggling and experiencing a lot of difficulties in the world. She was not an average woman who was living life without any worries at all but she was struggling to put food on the table every day.
“Do you really want to personally experience these people’s sufferings?”
“Find me a remote and small town where people do not know me well. After that, I want you to find a family with similar backgrounds and then mix me in as an ordinary tenant to live with them for a short while,” Jiang Yuning said. “Life requires experience and the only way to gain experience is to experience it myself.”
“Okay, I will take a look at your schedule.”
In fact, ever since she spoke to Shen Guobang the other day, Jiang Yuning hadn’t paid much attention to Gu Hanwei anymore.
This was because it was no longer important to Jiang Yuning.
It did not matter whether other people had a crush on her. After all, she was a very busy person. In addition to shooting the event advertisement, she also had to attend acting classes, she had to experience life, and she had to give attention and love to her second brother. She really did not have any extra time to focus on anyone else.
However, because of his illness, Gu Hanwei’s fans started to focus their attention on Jiang Yuning again.
[Jiang Yuning is really a very heartless person. If I was in her shoes and I found out that my brother is so ill, I will never reject him in such a direct manner. Isn’t this driving him to suicide?]
[I am not refusing to give up, but Jiang Yuning is really too cruel. How can she force my brother to a dead end? It seems as though he had no choice but to reveal his illness to the public.]
[How can she be so cruel towards her own suitor? Would she be so cruel to an ordinary person?]
[Jiang Yuning, I will never let you off if anything happens to my brother!]
After that, there were also some passers-by who defended Jiang Yuning because they felt that Gu Hanwei’s fans were unbelievable.
[If Jiang Yuning is not interested in him, of course she has to reject him. Does she have to accept his feelings for her simply because he is sick?]
[I think it is fine for Jiang Yuning to reject him.]
[Don’t you think that Gu Hanwei’s fans are a little too much?]
[Actually, since the film emperor is so handsome and rich, Jiang Yuning should try to get together with him. Wouldn’t that be good for both of them?]
[You have not given up on the love line yet?]
[Give the film emperor some hope so that he can die in peace!]
As soon as the news spread around the internet, Gu Hanwei’s fans started acting up again.
This was because everyone was targeting Jiang Yuning at this time.
[I have always known that the Ginger Candies were very powerful. However, after today, I am certain that they really deserve their reputation.]
[Why are the Ginger Candies cursing our idol?]
[Is my brother blind? Why did he fall for someone like Jiang Yuning? I really do not understand him at all.]
After that, the fans of the two idols got into another confrontation.
In fact, their interaction was initially not so hostile. However, because of that one comment, the disagreement between the two parties started escalating immediately.
“Unexpectedly, there is still a follow-up to their love line. Gu Hanwei’s fans were accusing Jiang Yuning of being cold-blooded because they never expected the Ginger Candies to actually curse that their idol would die soon.”
“Are the fans going to keep fighting with one another? I think Jiang Yuning should just get married already.”
Things festered very quickly, and Vera immediately asked the support club to manage the fans cursed the film emperor. However, they found out that this was done by a hater who was trying to stir up trouble between the fans of both parties.
…
After Vera heard the news, she could only sigh helplessly. “Seriously. Don’t Gu Hanwei’s fans get tired at all?”
Shen Yichen looked at her as she sighed and he could only smile as he said, “Then, are you tired of the Ginger Candies?”
“That is completely different. We have always been passive and defensive.”
“But this time, it seems as though the hater appeared from our side…” Shen Yichen replied once again. No matter which side the hater belonged to, ultimately, the hater had already achieved his goals. In fact, it did not take long for the fans to start going against one another.
Most importantly, the passers-by could only watch as they observe the confrontation between fans of both parties.
They felt that it was really hilarious.
[It felt like a young couple’s argument. One party is annoyed because they are being chased and they chose to ignore the other party. At that time, the other party gets annoyed because they are being ignored. This is really a child’s play!]
[It feels like a young couple is vindictive, and one party is annoyed by chasing and just ignores you. The other party was disgusted, and she felt like she was thinking about why you ignored me. The child is vindictive. ]
[I always feel that the relationship between the fans of these two parties had always been very amicable. I always thought that Jiang Yuning’s stand is clear but not that their fans are quarreling, it made me feel that there might be a possibility between her and the actor.]
[Are you seeing traces of love in an argument?]
[Jiang Yuning, just marry him already!]
[I think that it will not be easy for Jiang Yuning to marry someone else in future. Since the love line between Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei has already escalated so much, I think it will be really embarrassing and awkward for them to be in a relationship with someone else.]
[Should I be rooting for them to get married too?]
[I think the only way to stop all these rumors and the confrontation between the fans is for Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei to get married.]
[No one is getting married! I hope that the passers-by will stop making things up! This time, one of the fan groups will have to perish in this battle!]
Passers-by: “…”
The battle between the Ginger Candies and Gu Hanwei’s fans continued for another two to three days as they took turns to appear on the hot search. It would be the night of the charity dinner tomorrow.
Jiang Yuning thought that it was really childish because even though her fan support club had already stepped up to clarify the matter, the other party refused to let it go.
At this time, the passers-by were also addicted to their role of a matchmaker. Therefore, they could only advise the fans to make up when they saw them fighting and engaging in a confrontation.
Jiang Yuning scrolled through the comments whenever she was bored with a helpless expression on her face. However, she was so bored that she decided to turn off her cell phone instead. After a short while, she suddenly received a phone call from Vera. “Are you insane? Why did you like the comment?”
Jiang Yuning: “???”
“Don’t tell me it was a mistake….”
After listening to Vera’s words, Jiang Yuning took out her cell phone immediately. After realizing her mistake, Jiang Yuning could only reply, “Um…it was really a mistake. Is it too late to cancel it now?”
Chapter 533: My Whole Family is in Shock. Is this Okay?
It turned out that Jiang Yuning had accidentally clicked the ‘like’ button as she was scrolling through the comments.
Moreover, the comment that she liked was: “What is so great about him? So, what if he is the film emperor? Can’t a woman choose the man that she wants to be with? Why are people making such a big fuss about it?”
This time, Vera was left completely speechless.
“Jiang Yuning!!! Don’t you know how hard the Ginger Candies have been trying to counter all the haters lately? There were even rumors that you despised the film emperor circulating around the internet. With you acting skills…I really do not know what else to say now.”
In fact, Jiang Yuning had always sneered and made fun of others when they said that they made a mistake because their hands slipped. However, now that it was happening to herself, Jiang Yuning felt that it was somewhat dramatic.
Who would have expected it to be so easy to make such a harmless mistake? She was just scrolling through the comments and when she stopped scrolling, she must have unintentionally liked the comment with her right thumb.
I really that special? Why are you so worried about my acting skills?” Jiang Yuning asked Vera immediately. “Vera, have you already forgotten what day it is today?”
“Even so, why do you have to make a mistake today? This is not a mistake that you should be making today and you actually have to like that comment out of all the other comments…”
“I did not make a decision on that…”
In all of the battles that she had fought in the past, Jiang Yuning had always been very careful and she had always been invincible.
To think that she would actually like one of the comments now.
Actually…
It was impossible for the passers-by to believe anything she said right now.
[Umm…frankly speaking, Jiang Yuning has such a strong EQ. Therefore, if she say that it was simply a slip of hand, then I believe that it is really just a mistake.]
[I agree that it was just an honest mistake.]
[She was so disgusted at that time but even though she really feels disgusted, I don’t think Jiang Yuning is someone who would show her true feelings so publicly.]
[I think Jiang Yuning must really hate the film emperor.]
[But…I really have a question. Jiang Yuning, are you blind? How can you not be interested in the film emperor?]
[How can you possibly despise the film emperor? Can you find anyone else who is better looking than Gu Hanwei?]
[Jiang Yuning, can you possible find someone who is richer than the film emperor?]
[Or handsomer than the film emperor?]
…
Late in the afternoon.
Lu Jingzhi had just finished his meeting and he came home to get some documents from his study room.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Jiang Yuning sleeping on the sofa. She had been browsing the internet not too long ago because her laptop screen was still on at this time.
Lu Jingzhi smiled as he read the contents of the webpage that she was looking at.
As he was putting the laptop away, Jiang Yuning suddenly woke up from her sleep.
“Why aren’t you sleeping in the bedroom?” Lu Jingzhi asked as he pinched her cheeks gently.
“Why are you home? It is only noon…” Jiang Yuning sat up as she looked at the man in front of her with a bewildered expression on her face.
“I am leaving soon. I will not only pick you up from the charity dinner tonight but I will also send you off later. Anyway, since…we are going to make our relationship public soon. I guess it will be okay, right?”
“Huh?” Jiang Yuning did not understand what Lu Jingzhi meant but he had already stood up and before heading out of the house immediately.
As soon as he got into the car, Lu Jingzhi gave some instructions to Secretary Ho.
A short while later, Jiang Yuning received a second phone call from Vera and this time, her screams was even more earth-shattering than it was in the morning.
“Ahh! Ahh! Can the both of you stop teasing the public already? Can the second young master Lu greet everyone formally first?”
“What is happening?” Jiang Yuning asked.
“Go and see for yourself.”
As soon as Jiang Yuning heard Vera’s words, she sobered up immediately. Did Lu Jingzhi do something again?
After turning on her laptop, Jiang Yuning had the shock of her life.
@Outsider: This is my wife. @NotLookingforSomeoneintheEntertainmentCircle
[What is happening? There is no explanation at all?]
[Oh my god! Is this a joke?]
[Is this for real? Who is this outsider?]
[Who is this mysterious man? He does not even have a profile picture!]
[Friends, I would suggest that you click on his profile to check his certification information. You will definitely be in shock! Trust me!]
[Social media identity verification: Jiang Yuning’s husband, Lu Jingzhi. Oh my god! My whole family is in shock! Is this okay?]
Chapter 534: Sisters, Don’t Worry and Be Brave
Jiang Yuning was afraid that she had seen wrongly. Therefore, she rubbed her eyes before she took a look at the post again. It turned out that she did not read wrongly at all. The verification details were clear as it could be. The post was written by Jiang Yuning’s husband, Lu Jingzhi!
Brother, could you be more arrogant than this? Aren’t you afraid that someone would beat you up?
How could he actually post this kind of comment on social media?
At this time, Jiang Yuning finally understood what that man was trying to say before he left the house earlier.
But wasn’t this a little too much?
What was he really trying to prove?
What was even more annoying was the fact that she had already prepared all the official statements to make their relationship public. However, Lu Jingzhi actually went ahead and uploaded a picture of him and the little descendant holding hands!
After that, Jiang Yuning stayed online as she watched #Jiang Yuning Married# making it to the hot search in less than ten minutes.
[Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Does anyone of you feel the same way as me now? I feel like crying right now! Damn it!]
[I was even laughing at Jiang Yuning before this. I should not have looked down on her. I am really sorry. I would like to solemnly apologize to Jiang Yuning. I would never have expected the man standing beside her to actually have such a special identity! She had always been right.]
[Her man is really the best!]
[Oh my god. So, Jiang Yuning actually married her childhood sweetheart in the end?]
[No, I feel as though this is all just a dream. Is this reality? Do you think someone made this up to create a hype again? After all, Jiang Yuning has not come out to express her position on this matter. I am really afraid that this will turn out to be a prank in the end.]
[Jiang Yuning, are you still sleeping? Wake up! Wake up and express your view on this matter!]
At this time, everyone could see that the outsider was indeed very arrogant. Was he really Jiang Yuning’s husband? Why was he so possessive? Was it because all the netizens and passers-by had been trying to force a love line between Jiang Yuning and the film emperor, Gu Hanwei lately? Was that the reason why Lu Jingzhi was acting this way?
Well, he had to protect his woman!
Jiang Yuning sat on the sofa as she was at a loss at this time. She did not know how she should be reacting. However, when she thought about Lu Jingzhi’s face when he was entering the verification details, she felt that it must have been very hilarious.
After that, Jiang Yuning placed her hands on the keyboard before she changed the name of her social media account back to its original name before she posted something online.
@JiangJianglovestheScenery: “@Outsider has always been my scenery.”
Jiang Yuning’s social media profile started blowing up again as soon as she released that content.
[Ahh! I remember that name! Jiang Yuning had been using the same name for her social media account ever since her debut first years ago! Were the both of them already in a relationship back then?]
[I am a little confused right now. I thought that Jiang Yuning was still the fiancée of that fake third young master of the Lu family just one year ago?]
[No! Jiang Yuning and the fake third young master got engaged when they were still very young. I heard that this engagement was an arranged one by the elders in their family.]
[Didn’t that scumbag end up with Huo Yuxi in the end?]
[No! I really cannot hold it in anymore! Empress Jiang is really amazing! She is actually married to the most eligible bachelor in the whole of Luo City. She is really very fortunate!]
[So, Lu Jingzhi is the one who confessed his feelings for her first! Isn’t that really sweet of him?]
[Ahh! I have already been a fan of the love line between the childhood sweethearts for the longest time but I am really happy now that it seems like they are finally going to make their relationship public! I knew that my perseverance would be greatly rewarded!]
Anyway, at this time, the situation on the internet was very chaotic.
Lu Jingzhi also changed his name back to @Scenery before he posted another message.
@Scenery:
She was the girl that I had been fond of ever since I was young. We missed out on each other for so many years and we finally met again one year ago. Ever since that day, I have decided never to let her go again.
I have always respected her decision and I never had the intention of interfering in her career.
However, I would like to make a statement to clarify the situation: There has never been any derailment and there are no secrets between the both of us because we have already come clean and sorted out the situation amongst ourselves before we got together officially.
Our feelings for one another are crystal clear and I hope that the media and public will not try to come up with their own assumptions and speculations anymore.
She is Jiang Yuning to everyone else but she is my little descendant at home.
I will be protecting her for the rest of my life.
After that, Lu Jingzhi also uploaded a picture of Jiang Yuning and himself leaning against each other in the car. In fact, Secretary Ho had secretly taken this picture in the past because he felt that it was such a beautiful moment. Therefore, he captured the moment in his cell phone before he sent the picture to the second young master Lu.
[I guess Lu Jingzhi came out to refute the rumors immediately because he wants to protect Jiang Yuning! But is it really safe for them to make their relationship public?]
[Oh my god. I cannot stop staring at the picture of the both of them. How can there be such a perfect match in this world? Is this the one and only frontal picture of the heir of the Lu family? Damn! This is really a very beautiful moment!]
[It seems as though the relationship between the couple is very good. They are really the perfect match!]
[I can understand why Lu Jingzhi wants to post this content on his social media account. In the past, Lu Jingzhi could not stand up for Jiang Yuning whenever she got bullied online. However, in future, anyone who dares to bully Jiang Yuning will have to deal with him and the Lu family!]
[Ahh! He really calls her his little descendant! That is so adorable! I believe all of us are already dying of jealousy today!]
[Moreover, Jiang Yuning mentioned that the man in her life had to be someone who has the ability to keep her grounded in life. I believe no one else would be more suitable for the role, than the heir of the Lu family.]
[Nevertheless, I would still like to ask who Lu Jingzhi really is.]
[As an alumnus of NTU, I can answer that question for you. He was the top student in the most difficult professional physics department in NTU and he graduated at the top of his class. After his graduation, he joined the army immediately before entering politics after resigning from the military. His work is of utmost secrecy and he is one of the legends of NTU. In short, even if he is not the heir of the Lu family, he is still a very powerful existence.]
[He is so mysterious! Ahh! I cannot find any information on him at all!]
[I do not know what else to say but I just feel…very happy and a little surprised.]
[Tonight is already the night of the charity dinner. Do you think Lu Jingzhi will be attending the charity dinner with his little descendant?]
[Sisters, don’t worry and be brave!]
[I really want to see how the both of them look like during their private time together. One picture cannot satisfy me at all!]
At this time, everyone had already forgotten about Gu Hanwei.
This was because the news about Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi’s relationship was really shocking and unexpected.
How could a film emperor be compared to someone like him?
This was the reason why Jiang Yuning never had any interest in the film emperor at all.
Moreover, Jiang Yuning had always maintained a very good reputation because she had treated all her co-actors and cast as her brothers and nothing more than that. She did not allow any traces of a scandal to remain at all.
Was it all because of Lu Jingzhi?
[I think that their relationship will definitely last for a long time!]
[Yes! Jiang Yuning had always maintained a very clear reputation and image and she had never gotten entangled in any scandals at all. Moreover, Lu Jingzhi is someone who had always cherished her and respected his wife’s career. That proves how much trust they have in one another!]
[This also proves that Jiang Yuning’s character is really flawless. Even though she had always had a very strong backing from the Lu family, she had never once relied on her relationship with Lu Jingzhi to dominate the entertainment industry. Instead, she had always relied on her own abilities to progress in her career.]
Chapter 535: Isn’t He the King of Jealousy?
No matter what it was, the server almost crashed because of Jiang Yuning.
Moreover, their relationship was revealed when the charity dinner would be held tonight. Jiang Yuning would also be running into Gu Hanwei later at night!
At this time, Gu Hanwei’s fans and team were left dumbfounded.
How could they save themselves now?
They had not only offended the Lu family, but they had actually offended Lu Jingzhi!
Of course, Jiang Yuning’s fans and passers-by could only sneer at them.
[Oh! Isn’t that the person who created the love line for Jiang Yuning yesterday? Why is he so silent today? Is he peeing in his pants?]
[Moreover, some of them even deleted their social media account just so that they could avoid having a confrontation with Lu Jingzhi! Well, if you were so courageous, then don’t run away now!]
[Oh my god. It seems as though the entire entertainment industry is exploding because of Lu Jingzhi’s confession. I think that those people who had been targeting and creating rumors for Empress Jiang must definitely be trembling in fear right now!]
In fact, what the fans said were true because at this time, some of the people were really trembling in fear. This included the director and producer of <Desperate Line of Defense>.
They could not believe that they had actually treated Jiang Yuning as though she was nothing more than garbage!
The Lu family!
Lu Jingzhi!
Now as they thought about it, they felt that it was necessary for them to send some resources to Guangying Media so that they could publicly apologize to Jiang Yuning.
Since the situation had already turned out this way, it seemed as though all those public relations statements that Vera had prepared was completely useless.
A few sentences by Lu Jingzhi had already resolved everything.
Was there really a need for any official statements now?
The second young master Lu had already blocked all the possible ways that anyone could spread any rumors anymore. He had publicly confessed that he had a crush on Jiang Yuning for so many years and he admitted that the both of them had already gotten into a relationship ever since one year ago. The both of them had mutual feelings for one another and there were no complications or drama in their relationship at all. Wasn’t it obvious that Lu Jingzhi was trying to protect Jiang Yuning?
Moreover, the things that Vera had been worried about no longer seemed to be an issue anymore. For instance, Vera was worried that people would actually start a rumor that Jiang Yuning was not worthy of someone like Lu Jingzhi because of her background and her low education level.
However, after so many things have passed, the netizens and public already knew of Jiang Yuning’s talents and abilities. Therefore, things did not turn out as bad as Vera had imagined it to be. Jiang Yuning was indeed Jiang Yuning. It seemed as though she always had many layers of indestructible armors protecting her.
…
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Vera entered the Royal Dragon Villa under a tremendous amount of pressure. This was because she had to be prepared for the battle that they would be fighting at the charity dinner tonight. However, at this time, Jiang Yuning was still sitting on the sofa as she replied to the last content posted by Lu Jingzhi.
She understood his intentions very well.
Therefore, she felt the need to reply to his post before she left for the charity dinner. Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi were the only ones who knew and understood the love and affection that they had and felt for one another.
However, Jiang Yuning did not want to be the only one receiving protection from Lu Jingzhi. She wanted to protect him too.
Therefore, after thinking about it, she finally decided to post something:
@JiangJianglovestheScenery: “I am not afraid of any questions that the netizens or public have for me but I will not answer any questions related to my husband or our affection for one another. I hope that the media will keep this in mind tonight. My husband has his own life and I do not want my job to cause him any unnecessary trouble and harassment. Therefore, I hope that all of you will respect our privacy.”
[So, is Jiang Yuning…trying to protect him now?]
[This is what mutual protection is! One party does not want any malicious rumors about his wife whereas the other party does not want people to harass her husband.]
[Oh my god! I am really dying of jealousy right now.]
[Just take a look at Jiang Yuning. She has always been very gentle in the past but the contrast is really huge right now.]
[Wow! The both of them are really too sweet together!]
…
“Are you ready? Can we head over to the company and get ready now?” Vera asked in a helpless manner as she sat next Jiang Yuning. “I really cannot stand you anymore.”
Jiang Yuning put her laptop away before she put on her shoes and said, “Please wait for me to change and… Second Brother said that he will be sending me to the charity dinner later in the evening.”
Vera rolled her eyes before she said, “If the both of you are going to continue acting like this, then someone is going to invite the second young master Lu to appear on a television program soon.”
“No, that is impossible. It is impossible for Second Brother to ever make an appearance on a television program,” Jiang Yuning replied as she continued looking through her closet. She knew that Lu Jingzhi would never agree to appear on a television program.
“Isn’t he the king of jealousy? Why does it seem as though you are the jealous one now?”
“Didn’t you see how many fans Second Brother already has just because of one single photo that was released today? This is really terrible,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. After that, she finally settled on a satin dress that was long and flowy. However, after looking at it for the longest time, she felt dissatisfied and she continued looking through her closet before picking another outfit. “I think I am facing a crisis…”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi had already left work early and he came upstairs without making any noise at all.
Vera opened her mouth in shock when she saw him but she quickly excused herself when she saw Lu Jingzhi making a hush gesture at her.
Vera exited the walk in wardrobe so that she could give the both of them some privacy. At this time, Lu Jingzhi suddenly walked up to Jiang Yuning before he hugged her from the back and said, “What kind of crisis are you facing? Huh?”
Jiang Yuning tilted her head slightly before she raised her hand to check the time. “Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”
“Well, since my love life has already been exposed, I had to come back to deal with the situation. Isn’t this the perfect excuse?”
“Come on! You were the one who exposed our relationship in the first place! Do you know how shocked I was?” Jiang Yuning replied as she turned around before wrapping her arms around Lu Jingzhi’s neck. “Why did you say that you had a crush on me for so many years? There is no need for you to make yourself seem so pitiful! Didn’t I love you for so many years too?”
“Then…did I one-up you?”
Jiang Yuning smiled before she said, “However, I meant everything that I said after that. I hope that your life will still remain the way that it is even after we reveal our relationship to the public.”
“That might not work for me because if anyone dares to bully you in future…I will make sure that they know that I am your husband!”
Jiang Yuning suddenly felt very warm when she heard his strong and sexy voice.
Jiang Yuning: “…”
She was completely speechless.
“Then…then I am going to the company now…you…”
“I will come along with you since it has already been a long time since I last saw Uncle.”
Her husband had a free day off from work because their relationship was exposed to the public?
As she thought about it, Jiang Yuning suddenly raised her head as she asked, “Um…do any of your colleagues have any opinions on our relationship? After all, I…”
“No. Moreover, if anyone has anything to say, they better prove that they have better abilities than you. Otherwise, they can just keep their mouths shut…”
Jiang Yuning understood what Lu Jingzhi was trying to say.
If she had talent and ability, she would be able to convince everyone.
“Alright then, I can rest assured…”
Jiang Yuning was in a very good mood.
She did not feel so burdened and stressed out anymore since their relationship was already known to the public. Even though there seemed to be no substantial changes, it felt as though things were completely different.
Moreover, Vera said that there would definitely be people who would try to get Lu Jingzhi to appear on a television program.
In fact, Jiang Yuning did not mind. After all, it was only human nature to show off their own happiness.
She wanted to show off.
And the charity dinner tonight might be her one and only chance to show off…for the next few years…
