Chapter 468 - Did You Hide Under My Bed?

After comforting Lu Jingzhi, Jiang Yuning called Vera before telling her everything that Lu Jingzhi told her earlier.

Jiang Yuning told Vera that they could use the study in the Jiang family mansion to counter the negative news and rumors that the netizens were spreading about her. Moreover, based on how Lu Jingzhi described the situation, it seemed as though the new owner of the Jiang family’s old mansion would be very easy to get along with.

Vera was instantly relieved after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. “How many other things have you hidden from me? What else do I not know about you?”

“If I had not been involved in this situation, do you think it would have been appropriate for me to randomly bring up the fact that the study in the Jiang family mansion is as big as a library filled with books?” Jiang Yuning asked in an innocent manner.

“Alright then. I am still on the way back to Luo City right now. I will deal with this matter tomorrow. After that, I will inform Director Shen about this matter so we can leave this matter in the hands of the public relations team in Guangying Media. I don’t think we need to take any special steps to deal with this issue anyway. Just make sure that you rest well tonight. I will ask the young paparazzo to go over to the homestay to accompany you. Since I am certain that most of the crew members must have already caught wind of this news, I would be more assured if the young paparazzo is there with you.”

“Thank you for your hard work,” Jiang Yuning replied.

“Yuning, can you just allow me to sleep peacefully for one night?”

“Oh! Am I the one keeping you up at night?”

Vera did not know how to refute Jiang Yuning’s sentence at this time. She suspected that Jiang Yuning might actually have evidence to embarass her.

Why did she put herself in this situation?

…

The atmosphere was very strange at the training location the next day. However, after the young paparazzo arrived, he accompanied Jiang Yuning to attend training at the martial arts classroom as though nothing was wrong at all.

When Su Jinhang saw Jiang Yuning, he wanted to walk over to comfort her but after seeing that Jiang Yuning was still looking as calm and confident as she usually was, he felt that it would be unnecessary for him to do so.

In Su Jinhang’s heart, Sister Yuning was the God of War and she would never fall so easily. Moreover, there were no situation that she would not be able to handle.

Everyone got together at the cafeteria to have lunch after practice but at this time, Jiang Yuning was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, some people came up with all sorts of assumptions and speculations as usual. Was Jiang Yuning hiding herself, not feel like seeing anyone else because she was so embarrassed over being on the hot search all day yesterday?

She had been so fierce and confident yesterday but it seemed as though she might have been completely defeated today.

“I heard that Hou Da stormed up to Jiang Yuning’s room last night. Everyone staying near Jiang Yuning’s room clearly heard Hou Da walking up to her and barging into her room. Geez. It is already a known fact that Hou Da and Jiang Yuning cannot get along with one another. Do you think that Jiang Yuning will be replaced even before we begin filming the drama?”

A few of the small actors and actresses got together as they whispered amongst themselves.

“Jiang Yuning was raised so high up on the pedestal. I guess she does not have the guts to come and face any of us anymore. Just see for yourself! She doesn’t even have the courage to come to the cafeteria for lunch today. I guess she is probably feeling very embarrassed right now.”

“Keep it down a little. I honestly do not know why I am really hoping that Jiang Yuning will be replaced…”

“In fact, I do not know how Jiang Yuning even got the role of the first female lead in the first place. Do you think that it might be because Guangying Media invested a lot of money to get her the role of the first female lead?”

“Well, let’s just wait and see. Who knows what will happen eventually? Perhaps Hou Da would be so annoyed and frustrated with her that she finally decides to kill of the heroine and push the second female lead to become the main character in the drama instead?”

The few of them, including An Youqing, continued gossiping and laughing among themselves. At this time, Su Jinhang could not stand it anymore and so he put down his chopsticks before he said, “Can the few of you just stop gossiping while you are eating? It is really affecting other people’s appetite.”

When the other party saw that Su Jinhang was actually standing up for Jiang Yuning, he sneered before he said, “Do you really think that you are so great just because you are the first male lead in this drama? Do you really think that we will treat you differently? You are just a dog that Jiang Yuning brought up. Anyway, we are not gossiping or making anything up because everyone knows that Jiang Yuning had been reprimanded by Hou Da last night. Haven’t you heard about it?”

Su Jinhang originally wanted to refute the other party’s words but at this time, Hou Da’s voice suddenly sounded behind them.

“Did you hide under my bed? Is that why you know that I was angry last night?”

The expression on all their faces changed as soon as they heard Hou Da’s voice.

“Hou Da, I…” the young actor who was arguing with Su Jinhang was very flustered at this time and his face was flushed red out of embarrassment.

“Ever since joining the cast, all of you have been spreading rumors that the relationship between Jiang Yuning and myself is tensed and that we both do not get along at all. Which of you can tell whether we have a good and amicable relationship or not? Huh?” Hou Da asked as she looked at the group of young actors and actresses. “I have already been tolerating each of you for the past few days. Don’t you know that I personally picked Jiang Yuning to become the first female lead in this drama? Moreover, the only reason why the drama script has been revised three to four times is because I decided to make changes to the scenes after discussing it with Yuning. That was why we came to the conclusion that it would be better if we removed all the romantic scenes involving Duan Hanyan’s character. Are you guys a parasite in my stomach? How do you know what is going on in my mind or what I am feeling at the moment?”

“Yes, I was very angry last night and I lost my temper but the reason why I was angry is simply because I am mad that someone is trying to stir up trouble and mess with my first female lead!”

“Anyway, I want each of you to be clear that the first female lead will always remain the first female lead and that is the same for the role of the first male lead. So, stop trying to cause any trouble and tension amongst all the cast members. If you continue misbehaving and spreading rumors during training, I will ask you to leave immediately the next time I hear of it.”

“Lastly, I personally chose Su Jinhang to play the role of the first male lead. If anyone wants to continue insulting or humiliating him, don’t blame me for kicking you out of my drama. I will show no mercy to anyone who is spreading any false rumors.”

Hou Da was merciless and her tone was very heavy.

The faces of the few young actors and actresses were all red because they were completely caught off guard.

At this time, Jiang Yuning stepped into the cafeteria after she was done with her training.

When she saw the awkward situation and atmosphere, she quickly pulled Hou Da to the side as she whispered, “What is wrong? Why are you so angry?”

“It’s all because I had to protect you!” Hou Da yelled at Jiang Yuning. “It’s already lunchtime so why weren’t you at the cafeteria eating your lunch? What were you doing?”

Jiang Yuning did not take Hou Da’s words to heart because she was already used to Hou Da’s temperament.

“I was just practicing a set of martial arts movements that are a little more difficult,” Jiang Yuning replied as she looked at Hou Da with a pair of innocent eyes.

“Hurry up and eat your lunch. I am already full from all the anger! I am going to deal with your public relations issues now.”

After that, Hou Da turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.

Jiang Yuning could not stop herself from smiling when she saw Hou Da’s reaction. After that, she turned around and quickly instructed the young paparazzo, “Prepare lunch for Hou Da and send it to her room. Make sure you leave only after she is done eating her lunch!”

“Understood!” the young paparazzo responded immediately.

Was this what they called a bad relationship?

Was this really what they called a bad relationship?

Who started the rumor stating that Jiang Yuning and Hou Da had a tense relationship and that they did not get along with one another?

The several young actors and actresses were so embarrassed that they could only sit down and eat their lunch with their heads lowered. At this time, Su Jinhang could not stop himself from smiling.

It turned out that his previous worries were really superfluous.

Jiang Yuning glanced at the few young actors and actresses before she laughed to herself. At the end of the day, it seemed as though these young actors and actresses were still young and immature and that is the reason why their opinions were so biased.

However, Jiang Yuning did not see the need to explain herself to them.

At this time, the news that Jiang Yuning’s scenes in the variety program was scripted and pre-planned were still circulating on the internet.

Therefore, the public relations team at Guangying Media were working hard to try and deal with this issue to clear Jiang Yuning’s name.

However, would anyone believe it even if the television station came forward to clarify the situation?

The support team and the public relations team were working hard to get rid of all the negative news and to come up with the best solution to deal with the public relations issue. It seemed as though it would cost the company a substantial amount of capital to clear Jiang Yuning’s name and reputation this time. Moreover, there were also many other companies taking advantage of the situation to trample all over Jiang Yuning.

After getting instructions from the director of the variety program, Teacher Lin Cangxiao made a phone call to Vera to get an update on the situation.

Jiang Yuning was a master who had a natural talent when it came to dealing with public relations issue. However, why wasn’t she taking any actions at all when things had already fermented overnight?

Was she really stuck at a dead end this time?

This was really harmful to both Jiang Yuning and the television station.
