Chapter 516: Why Don’t We Make It Public?
Guangying Media and all the production cast and crew of <Yan Huasu> stepped forward to defend Jiang Yuning.
No matter which actor it was or what blockbuster movie it was going to be, they should not fabricate a love line when there was none in the first place!
However, even though Jiang Yuning had already responded and made an attempt to clarify the situation, many people still felt that there was something going on between Jiang Yuning and the film emperor, Gu Hanwei because of his actions.
This was because the public and netizens did not believe that an international movie star would arrange for his personal assistant to make a visit at her filming location, just to apologize in person if there was nothing going on between them.
Even though Jiang Yuninh had already clarified the situation and made it clear that she had nothing to do with Gu Hanei, the netizens were not satisfied and they were still keeping watch for any updates on the situation.
[I am still rooting for a love line between the both of them because I believe that there is still something going on between the both of them!]
[Are you really that hopeful for this love line?]
[Gu Hanwei is not a good match for Jiang Yuning!]
[It seems as though the actor is just trying to create trouble for Jiang Yuning.]
[Isn’t it obvious that Jiang Yuning is not interested in Gu Hanwei at all? Just let her off already!]
…
Therefore, Gu Hanwei’s actions really caused a huge ruckus and he even caused the public and netizens to speculate that there was a love line between the both of them. It seemed as though he was really experienced at creating this kind of situations that worked in his own favor.
Jiang Yuning was very helpless at this time and she decided to just ignore him.
Therefore, during her last month of filming, Jiang Yuning was even more serious and attentive in the crew. In addition to filming her scenes, Jiang Yuning spent most of her time video calling Lu Jingzhi.
About twenty days later, Jiang Yuning was finally done filming all of the important scenes.
“In a few days’ time, you will finally be done filming all your scenes. I have already received several invitations for a few variety shows and also a charity dinner event. You can choose whether you want to participate in the variety show or not but you will have to attend the charity dinner whether you like it or not. However, the only bad news is that…I heard the film emperor, Gu Hanwei will also be participating in the charity event.”
Vera told Jiang Yuning over the phone as they discussed her working schedule and arrangements.
It would be a good thing for Jiang Yuning to attend the charity dinner because all the guest who were invited were well-known in the industry. This was the perfect opportunity for her to establish some connections with others.
However, as soon as she heard that Gu Hanwei would also be participating in the event, she could feel her mood changing in an instance.
“Was he also invited?”
“He is an internationally renowned actor and he was also crowned the film emperor. Of course, he was invited,” Vera exclaimed immediately.
“Well, I have no choice but to attend the charity event. If I turned down the invitation and someone finds out that the organizer had invited me, don’t you think that everyone will assume that I turned down the invitation because I was deliberately trying to avoid any suspicions? Wouldn’t that cause more trouble for me?” Jiang Yuning replied over the phone. “I had always thought that I was very willful in the entertainment industry. Who would have known that Gu Hanwei would be worse than me? I guess this world really is filled with naïve people.”
“Well, then I will RSVP on your behalf.”
At this time, Jiang Yuning knew that she would have to participate in the charity dinner event whether she liked it or not, even if it meant that she would have to be communicating with the film emperor, Gu Hanwei. However, she knew that there would also be people who would be misinterpreting every single one of her actions and there would be no end to their assumptions and speculations.
In the end, Jiang Yuning finally made up her mind as she gave some instructions to Vera. “Perhaps…it is time for you to prepare a public relations draft for me.”
“What draft?”
“I want you to make an official announcement about my marriage,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious manner. “It has already been a year since I got married. Even though I have not received any awards or achieved anything for myself yet, I am no longer afraid. Vera, I want to make my marital status known to the public. I am a part of the Lu family now and my husband is Lu Jingzhi. I want to have the confidence and ability to control the public’s opinion. So, please make the necessary preparation for me, okay?”
In fact, Vera had already started preparing for it.
The public relations draft in Vera’s hand had already been revised four times. Vera had already made plans for it when she realized the psychological and emotional changes in Jiang Yuning.
“Do you want to discuss this matter with the second young master Lu again? I think that you will also need to get the approval of the Lu family before you take any actions. Otherwise, you might be ridiculed again when the time comes.”
If she really wanted to make her relationship public, she would have to work hard for it. Empress Jiang would not be able to publicize her relationship just because she wanted to do so.
If the Lu family did not acknowledge her as a part of their family, then it would be a bloody storm all over again.
“Well, I know that,” Jiang Yuning knew what she had to do.
“Alright then, I will act according to your wishes. Anyway, you have already been married for such a long time and you are also in a very loving and stable relationship. Moreover, the Ginger Candies are all very rational and loyal to you. Even if you decide to make your relationship and marital status public, I don’t think that it will leave a huge impact on your career.”
In the past, Vera was afraid that the Lu family might actually be a barrier that would hold Jiang Yuning back from progressing in her career.
However, she finally realized that she might have underestimated Jiang Yuning’s power.
…
Jiang Yuning felt much more relaxed after communicating with Vera.
As she video called the second young master Lu later that night, she could not stop the corners of her lips from curving upwards.
At this time, Jiang Yuning did not have any makeup on and there was still water droplets on her face. Lu Jingzhi could see her fair and delicate skin and he realized that her eyes were shining brightly, as though she was very excited about something.
“Are you very happy tonight?”
“Well, I am because I just made a very important decision today.” Jiang Yuning replied and nodded before placing her phone on the table.
“Huh?” Lu Jingzhi did not understand what she was trying to say.
This was because he was still jealous over the situation with Gu Hanwei.
The netizens had been so enthusiastic about the love line between Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei and they even made a short video of the little descendant playing the role of the female lead beside Gu Hanwei. Why would he be happy?
He was not happy at all. Moreover, Lu Jingzhi even created a second social media account just so that he could criticize the love line and argue that it was not true at all. The more he thought about it, the more upset he got.
“Second Brother…I have already asked Vera to prepare a press release statement to publicize our relationship,” Jiang Yunign said as she looked at the handsome face in the video call. “I am just trying…to decide on a suitable timing, okay?”
As soon as Lu Jingzhi heard the word ‘public’, he was a little surprised. After calming down a little, he asked in a soft voice, “You are ready?”
“Of course, I am ready. Are you ready? If I make out relationship public, you will have to stand by my side and nod your head in acknowledgement. Otherwise, people will say that I am desperate and that I am just trying to get married to you when I am not! Can you really bear to see me getting attacked by everyone?”
“It does sound a little pitiful.”
Moreover, the little descendant had such a cute expression on her face and he really wanted to pinch her cheeks at this time.
“Of course, I will be very pitiful…if I were to show affection without a husband standing beside me to support me.”
“Alright then. Tell me when you want to make the announcement and I will make the necessary arrangements then, okay?”
“Okay, I will.”
The couple continued chatting before they finally decided to end their video call. Jiang Yuning went to bed as soon as she hung up the phone.
On the other hand, Lu Jingzhi was still sitting on the edge of his bed at this time. He has not moved an inch ever since he hung up the phone. He sat still for a very long time with an indifferent expression on his face. This was not how he usually was.
In fact, the little descendant always knew how to assure and comfort him whenever he felt jealous.
That was the reason why he could trust her.
She understood him.
And she would always make sure that he had a sense of security.
What else could a husband ask for when he had a wife like this?
…
A few days later, Jiang Yuning finally finished filming all her scenes for the drama, <Yan Huasu>. In fact, she was the last actress to wrap up the filming process.
Hou Da prepared a bouquet of red roses and a three-tiered cake to thank her for her hard work and to celebrate their success in completing the drama.
“Thank you for saving my life, Hou Da,” Jiang Yuning said as she smiled.
“We should keep in touch even after returning to Luo City, okay? Make sure that our friendship will not fade just because the crew had already dispersed,” Hou Da said as she hugged Jiang Yuning tightly and wailed. “I will never be able to find another friend who is more interesting and sincere than you.”
