Sweetest Top Actress in My Home

Chapter 518: Hello? Are They Okay?

“What rumor is there to start about this matter?”

“Aren’t there many other people who are also interested in getting the role of the first female lead for <Desperate Line of Defense>?” Shen Yichen replied as he rubbed his forehead in desperation. “The most decisive factor lies in Gu Hanwei’s attitude. Aside from the fact that Yuning had actually met up with the director and producer of <Desperate Line of Defense>, the other reason why everyone is starting a rumor about Yuning is simply because Gu Hanwei sent his assistant to visit her at her filming location.”

“The more we continue to argue with them, the more they will insist that we have something to hide. After all, even if Yuning has no interest in becoming the film emperor’s girlfriend, there are many other actresses who would be interested.”

Vera understood what Shen Yichen meant.

After all, this trouble was created because Gu Hanwei’s assistant had arrived on set.

In fact, Vera suspected that the film emperor, Gu Hanwei had sent his assistant there on purpose.

“I believe that many people will take advantage of this situation to turn things in their favor.”

“Why? Hasn’t Yuning been bullied enough already? What else do they want?” Vera could not help but exclaim at this time.

The netizens would always blame Jiang Yuning for everything, from resources, film emperors and also her own relationship status.

“I do not have any ideas on how we should deal with the public relations matter at the moment. I think that we will have to be prepared to give a very good statement to the public soon. When Yuning wakes up tomorrow, please ask her for her opinion on how we should handle this situation.”

It seemed as though the more they tried to clarify this matter, the more complicated things were.

…

Things had already gotten out of hand when Jiang Yuning woke up the next morning.

As soon as she woke up, Jiang Yuning continued lazing in bed in a daze as she hugged the second young master Lu’s pillow for a long time. Jiang Yuning only got up to get ready for breakfast when Sister Liang knocked on her bedroom door and urged her to wake up.

“Sir specifically asked me to supervise you and make sure that you eat your breakfast on time, before he left for work early in the morning. You have lost so much weight and gotten so much skinnier ever since you joined the crew,” Sister Liang said as she looked at Jiang Yuning as though she was her own daughter.

“Sister Liang, I only lost some weight because I have been working hard. I will definitely gain back all that weight in a few days after eating your delicious cooking!”

Jiang Yuning had a very glib tongue.

“Miss Vera also called you several times in the morning. However, Sir took your cell phone out from the bedroom because he was afraid that your sleep would be disturbed,” Sister Liang replied as she placed a glass of milk in front of Jian Yuning before she handed her cell phone over to her.

Jiang Yuning had a shock when she looked at her cell phone. Twenty eight missed calls.

Was the sky falling or was the ground sinking?

After having her breakfast, Jiang Yuning walked towards the balcony with her laptop and cell phone in hand. She sat down on the balcony and finally returned Vera’s calls as she enjoyed the sea breeze.

“Yuning, you are finally answering your phone? There is already a huge commotion on the internet at the moment.”

“What is happening this time?” Jiang Yuning asked as she turned on her laptop. It seemed as though the film emperor was up to no good again. Jiang Yuning finally saw the rumors, stating that she was lying about her relationship with Gu Hanwei. Moreover, the netizens also accused her of being vain and narcissistic as they insisted that she was trying to get into Gu Hanwei’s good books even though she was denying it.

Hello? Are they okay?

“The netizens are already spreading rumors about your relationship with Gu Hanwei. Furthermore, they also made some collages of the both of you. Director Shen feels that we should release another official statement to clarify this situation. We have already done all that we could and Guangying Media had also tried to clarify your name. However, it seems as though the more we respond to the situation, the more energetic the other party is. What do you think we should do now? Do you have any suggestion on how we should handle the situation? Do you want to…release the news about your marriage to the second young master Lu now?”

“No.” Jiang Yuning refused Vera’s suggestion immediately. “The public statement that I am preparing about my relationship with Second Brother is not intended to clarify this messy situation. I will only release the public statement about my marriage after this situation has been resolved. If we choose to publicize my relationship with Second Brother now, I am afraid that Gu Hanwei will say that I was dating the both of them at the same time. How will we handle the situation when that happens?”

“This…” Vera did not think about that at all.

“We do not need to give them any attention or response right now. We should just continue gathering evidence of these rumors and after we have collected substantial evidence, then we will just clarify the situation in a clear and precise manner. As for me, I really do not want to spend any more time on this kind of matter right now. I finally have a few days off to rest. Why must I be bothered about all these rumors? After everything is resolved, I will publicize the news about my marriage to Second Brother.”

Why can’t they focus on the other actresses who were auditioning for the role of the first female lead of <Desperate Line of Defense> now?

This was simply because there were too many of them.

Moreover, who would have more value compared to Jiang Yuning?

None of the other actresses had a cleaner background compared to Jiang Yuning.

It would not be easy for the netizens to conduct a background check and Jiang Yuning did not have so much time to retaliate against these people. Therefore, it was better to allow them to do as they pleased.

“Alright then. I will make the arrangements.”

“The Ginger Candies would have to work a little harder to turn against the haters. I really have to find an opportunity to thank my beloved fans.”

…

Things started getting worse and very soon, this matter was already beyond Gu Hanwei’s control.

This was because the netizens were already fabricating more and more rumors about Gu Hanwei and Jiang Yuning.

Yes, Gu Hanwei arranged for his assistant to pay Jiang Yuning a visit at her set. However, the new assistant who had been newly recruited was completely clueless and he messed up the entire situation. Therefore, Gu Hanwei had already fired him.

Gu Hanwei could only blame himself because he did not use a more professional personal assistant and he did not inform his agency before taking any actions.

At this time, Gu Hanwei wanted to contact Jiang Yuning through various different channels but he was afraid that he would cause more trouble to the other party. Moreover, if things got more complicated, he would also need to give an explanation to his agency.

As he thought about it, Gu Hanwei felt that the charity dinner might be a perfect opportunity for them to communicate with one another.

In fact, Gu Hanwei admitted that he had certain requirements when it came to filming but he had never once forced his feelings upon anyone who did not reciprocate his feelings.

Even if he did suggest that Jiang Yuning should play the role of the first female lead in <Desperate Line of Defense>, this was not a justification for the way the director and producer acted that day. Did he sent them the wrong signal?

Jiang Yuning must really hate him now.

In fact, Jiang Yuning did not have the time to hate him at all.

Jiang Yuning stayed home the whole day before she received a phone call from Lu Jingzhi. He had to make a last minute trip to S City because he had to visit his injured comrade.

“I will not be home until the day after tomorrow. Make sure that you eat your meals on time and be good. I realized that you really lost a lot of weight when I hugged you yesterday.”

At this time, Lu Jingzhi’s background was very noisy and Jiang Yuning could hear the sound of the wind blowing behind him.

Even though he was in a hurry, he still had time to worry about her.

At this time, Jiang Yuning quickly responded, “I want to come along with you.”

“Huh?”

“I will not be working for the next few days anyway. Second Brother, can I come with you?”

Lu Jingzhi was silent for a while before he replied in a serious manner, “The conditions in that place is not that good as it is a military hospital. I may not have the time to look after you.”

“I don’t need you to take care of me. Please just let me come with you.”

Jiang Yuning kept insisting on tagging along. This was because even though the both of them had already been together for so long, she never really understood the nature of his work since it was always very secretive and confidential. Jiang Yuning really wanted to understand the nature of her husband’s job.

Since his comrade was injured, she knew that Second Brother would not be in a good mood.

Jiang Yuning wanted to tag along so that she could accompany him and stay by his side.

“I will ask Secretary Ho to pick you up. You can pack a simple luggage to bring along with you.”

“Then I will also prepare a change of clothes for you,” Jiang Yuning replied as she hurried into the walk-in wardrobe.

After packing her suitcase, Jiang Yuning gave Vera a call to inform her about her plans. “I will be going on a long distance trip with Second Brother. I might be gone for a few days. Please help me to postpone my activities for the next few days.”
