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…”
