Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In an apartment in A-City.
Yuan Luochen sat on the sofa and read the news excitedly.
Xiao Yeyu brought him some tea.
Yuan Luochen had bought this apartment for her and it was worth tens of millions.
In the past, he didn’t like it and didn’t like to come here. Every time, he would leave after finishing his business. However, ever since he was chased out by the Yuan family, he had moved here and lived with her.
Xiao Yeyu wasn’t flustered at all when Yuan Luochen was stripped of his power. After all, he was Old Master Yuan’s biological son. It was normal for him to be kicked out of the Yuan family in a moment of anger. But he couldn’t possibly chase him out forever, right?
Since Yuan Luochen was staying over at her place, she could take the opportunity to conceive his child.
When Yuan Luochen made a comeback, she could also benefit from his position in the Yuan family.
She could occupy a seat in the Yuan family.
Xiao Yeyu saw that the tea was getting cold and Yuan Luochen didn’t have the thought of drinking it. He just stared at the phone screen and she asked curiously, “Second Young Master, what are you so engrossed in?”
Yuan Luochen picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked at her with a smile and said, “Jiang Yining is going to be in trouble this time.”
“Hmm?”
Xiao Yeyu hummed faintly, expressing her doubts.
Yuan Luochen handed her phone. “Jiang Yining has a scandal with the male actor who starred in her manga adaptation. Last time, we didn’t find the right target and let her escape by luck. But this time… 1 won’t make the same mistake. Just wait to be chased out of the Lu family.”
Xiao Yeyu shared his joy after watching the news.
“What does Second Young Master plan to do?”
“Of course, it’s to help her spread the ‘good news’ and let the elders of the Lu family know!” Yuan Luochen explained, “Lu Zhi has feelings for her. Even if she betrayed him, Lu Zhi couldn’t bear to chase her out of the Lu family. However, if the Lu family found out that Jiang Yining had indecent behavior and cheated on Lu Zhi… Do you think they will tolerate such a person and continue to stay by Lu Zhi’s side?”
“No, they won’t.” Xiao Yeyu thought of the Lu family she had heard about before and smiled evilly as she said, “As far as 1 know, Old Madam Lu despises Jiang Yining. She had tried to drive her out of the Lu family many times. We can use her and Old Master Lu to chase Jiang Yining out.”
As long as Jiang Yining left the Lu family, the grudge between Yuan Luochen and the Lu family would be resolved.
His chances of returning to the Yuan family would also increase greatly.
“You’re really a treasure.”
Yuan Luochen kissed her.
Xiao Yeyu was like a seductive demon as she wrapped her arms around his neck and took the initiative to deepen the kiss…
At night.
Lu Zhi returned home.
When he saw the news reported by various media outlets, he remained calm and acted as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yining sat opposite him and scooped a bowl of soup for him.
She was calm and composed, without any intention of explaining.
The housekeeper secretly gave her a look.
She pretended not to notice it.
In the end, Lu Zhi couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on between you and the actor Qu Qu?”
“What Qu Qu?” Jiang Yining asked with widened eyes.
“If I remember correctly, it should be someone with the surname Qu.” Lu Zhi’s voice was as calm as water, but he couldn’t hide his jealousy.
Jiang Yining laughed. “Oh, you mean Qu Ze?”
“Yes.” Lu Zhi put down his chopsticks and said, “Didn’t you see the news report?”
“I did, but there’s nothing between us. There’s nothing ambiguous between us.” Jiang Yining said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask All Man.”
Ah Man had assigned her bodyguards to protect her 24 hours a day.
Even if she wanted to have an affair, she wouldn’t have the chance.
After a pause, she added, “Lu Zhi, don’t you trust me the most?”
Why the sudden interrogation?
Lu Zhi snorted lightly and said, “Of course, 1 believe you. But seeing you defending that Qu Qu in every possible way… 1 feel uncomfortable.”
He wanted her to only have eyes for him and not look at anyone else.
“His name is Qu Ze, not Qu Qu.” Jiang Yining emphasized.
11
Look, you’re even going to argue with me about this for him.”
Lu Zhi’s jealousy overflowed, and his jealousy soared to the sky.
Jiang Yining was helpless against him. She stopped correcting his wrong way of addressing him. “I swear 1 don’t have any ambiguous feelings for him. The reason why 1 helped him is because I think he’s someone worthy of respect. Lu Zhi, I appreciate everyone who takes their position seriously.”
Qu Ze insisted on maintaining his principles when competing for roles.
This was too rare.
Jiang Yining admired him for it.
However, to say that she had feelings for him… That would be ridiculous.
Lu Zhu responded, “1 also take my work seriously.”
Jiang Yining smiled. “That’s why I admire you for that too.”
“That’s more like it.”
Lu Zhi’s ruffled feathers were smoothed, and his mood improved.
Jiang Yining put down her utensils. She walked over half the table and held his hand as she said, “Why are you acting like a big boy who has just fallen in love? You’re jealous everywhere you go?”
“If a man doesn’t have possessiveness towards the woman he loves, then there’s a problem.”
He liked her and would never allow her to fall for another man.
Wasn’t this normal?
Lu Zhi felt that it was only natural.
Jiang Yining thought about it and felt that it was true. She patted the back of his hand and said, “Alright. I will strive to keep a distance from other men in the future.”
For example, Xiao Lang…
She hadn’t contacted him for a long time.
It wasn’t that she didn’t like Xiao Lang as a friend, but she didn’t want Lu Zhi to feel uncomfortable.
Lu Zhi’s deep voice resonated, “I will also keep my distance from all women for you.”
Seeing his sincere expression, the smile on Jiang Yining’s face deepened.
That night, Lu Zhi contacted the media and removed all the gossip about Jiang Yining and Qu Ze.
The next morning, when Jiang Yining woke up, she realized that all those rumors were gone.
It was easy to guess who did it.
Jiang Yining chuckled.
She felt helpless.
She spent the morning in the studio and drew comics.
She incorporated the incident that angered Lu Zhi into the manga.
Then, it was updated on the website.
The fans immediately went wild.
[The male lead is so cute in private.]
[Who would have thought that the cold and possessive wolf-like boss would be so jealous of the female lead?]
[Sigh, I’m done for. I’m actually craving a producer.]
After Jiang Yining finished reading the comments, she received a call from the boss of Yonghui Film and Television Company, Bo Qin. He brought up the rumor from yesterday and apologized to her, saying that the company hadn’t done its job properly, which was why such negative news had spread. He promised that similar things would not happen again in the future.
Jiang Yining didn’t take it to heart. As long as she hadn’t done anything wrong, no matter what the people outside said, she wouldn’t lose anything.
She told Bo Qin not to worry.
Seeing that she was so open-minded, Bo Qin heaved a sigh of relief.
And then…
Bo Qin mentioned to her that the role had been decided. Next, it was time to announce the start of filming.
He wanted to set the venue at Qing University.
It was a nationally renowned institution and Jiang Yining’s alma mater.
Holding it there could help gain publicity.
At the same time, he also wanted to get Jiang Yining to do a book signing event while filming was still ongoing.
However, the signing this time was a little special.
All the expenses were borne by the company, and the profits were donated to the special group of deaf and mute children.
Such a good deed would easily cause a greater reaction in society and achieve the effect of spreading.
Moreover, it could help those who really needed help and establish a good image for Jiang Yining, the TV series, and the company.
Jiang Yining agreed without hesitation. “Sure. However, make sure the transparency in profits to prevent any potential negative outcomes. Don’t turn a good thing into a bad thing in the end.”
“Don’t worry about that. 1’11 find professionals to record all the expenses, income, and funds clearly and announce them to the media. I guarantee that no one will be able to find anything to say.”
The manga adaptation hadn’t even started filming yet, but it had already faced unexpected challenges.
Bo Qin was more afraid of the drama going bad than Jiang Yining.
Therefore, he had to do everything himself.
No more mistakes were allowed.
“Alright.”
After negotiating with Bo Qin.
Jiang Yining made some preparations and rushed to school.
In the school.
As soon as Jiang Yining sat down, Ye Xiaoxi held a poster in her hand and said excitedly, “Yining, the male lead you chose is so good-looking, like a god.”
Qu Ze’s appearance was indeed top-notch. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called a flower vase.
Jiang Yining looked at Qu Ze and felt that he wasn’t very outstanding.
Perhaps because she was already immune from being around Lu Zhi all the time.
“He did well in his performance.”
“Alih, speaking of that, it makes me so mad.” Ye Xiaoxi expressed regret, “When you were having a conflict with Yu Siqi yesterday, 1 went to buy coffee for the entire crew and missed the whole thing. Otherwise, I’ll definitely tear that woman apart! How dare she smear your name!”
After the selection of the actresses, there was an intermission.
Ye Xiaoxi wanted to buy some coffee for the crew to build a good relationship with them.
In the future, filming wwillofficially begin.
She could also go to the set often to watch them film.
But the coffee shop was unexpectedly crowded.
She lined up and bought coffee.
The incident had passed…
Ye Xiaoxi was so regretful that she pounded her chest and stomped her feet. If she had known earlier, she would have asked someone else to buy it.
She was really used to running errands.
She left at a critical moment.
Jiang Yining said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Yu Siqi will come and apologize to me sooner or later. You’ll have a good time watching.”
“Is she really willing to apologize? I heard that she was quite arrogant on set yesterday.” Ye Xiaoxi was filled with hostility and disdain at the mention of this woman.
Anyone who went against Yining was her enemy!
She had to beat them to death!
“Movie King Nie promises that she will come and apologize within two days.” Jiang Yining said, “It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t come. I have ways to make her pay for her mistakes.”
“Yeah. 1 believe you, Yining.”
As soon as Ye Xiaoxi finished speaking, a handsome figure appeared in the classroom.
Her eyes widened.
Ye Xiaoxi thought, “Qu… Qu… Ze! Why was he here?”
Ye Xiaoxi couldn’t believe it. She thought that she was hallucinating.
However, Qu Ze walked straight to them.
He greeted them politely.
“Miss Jiang, Miss Ye, hello.”
Jiang Yining had already introduced Ye Xiaoxi to him on set the day before.
He still remembered.
Jiang Yining raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you here?”
