Later that afternoon, Vera kept nagging Jiang Yuning as she was sending her to her etiquette class at Guangying Media.
“Now that the marketing and promotional activities for <Nameless Orphan> is pretty good, you can rest assured that no one can try to put you down anymore. You still have a little time left to prepare for the cultural exchange meeting. The most important thing that you should note is that you should not embarrass yourself and you should be fully prepared for the meeting so that you will not embarrass our country.”
“You have to attend the cultural exchange meeting tomorrow. After that, you will have a vague idea of the process and other details of the meeting.
Jiang Yuning knew the seriousness of the matter and she naturally did not dare to neglect it or treat it in a casual manner at all.
“In fact, if things are done beautifully, then your popularity and fame will definitely rise again. At that time, people will definitely give you the priority choice for any dramas. However, I think you should not have such high expectations because the haters will definitely try to pull you down again. I only hope that everything will run smoothly today.”
“Don’t be so pessimistic. Please send me to the hospital so I can see grandpa for a short while after my class. Every time I encounter any cultural or artistic things, I would always think of him.”
After that, Jiang Yuning took out the sketchbook that she had been keeping in her bag all this while. The only time that she had to express her own thoughts on the groom’s suit was when she was traveling in the car.
“If you are feeling exhausted, you should just take a nap. You don’t have to do all these things yourself,” Vera could not stand it anymore when she looked at Jiang Yuning.
“You don’t understand. I can never let go when it comes to anything related to Second Brother,” Jiang Yuning replied in a casual manner as she lowered her head. However, Vera could fully understand what she meant.
As Jiang Yuning was drawing in her sketchbook, she received a phone call from an unknown number.
Jiang Yuning thought for a moment before she rejected the call because she thought that it would definitely be a sales call. However, in less than a minute, the person called her back again.
This time, Jiang Yuning answered the phone immediately. After all, a sales call would not be repeated a second time.
“Hello…are you Miss Jiang? I…I am your former landlady, Sister Qin. Do you remember me?
Jiang Yuning instantly became energetic as soon as she heard the words ‘Sister Qin’. She no longer felt sleepy or exhausted anymore.
How could she possibly forget that family of three?
“Yes, I remember you. What can I do for you?”
“I…I just found out that you are actually a famous celebrity. I saw you on television. Since you already know about my family situation, I want to ask you to please help my son…” the woman on the other end of the line stuttered a little because she was excited.
“What would you like me to do for your son?” Jiang Yuning asked in a calm manner.
“You should also know that my son is sick and he cannot speak a single word even though he is already three years old. I want to get him treated but I do not have money to do so. Can you please help me? I am just an ordinary person and I do not have many connections in this world. I only know that celebrities carry a lot of weight in society…and I really need your help.”
Jiang Yuning was a little shocked after listening to the young woman’s words. In fact, she felt that it was not her character at all.
The couple actually had a mahjong hall in their building!
How did she know that she could actually use celebrities to ask for help from society?
“I heard that you are a good person who has done a lot of charity. Can you please…help us?” When Sister Qin realized that Jiang Yuning did not reply at all, she quickly asked her once again.
“Sister Qin, we barely know one another and I already paid for the rental of the apartment. I believe that I do not owe you or your husband anything at all,” Jiang Yuning replied patiently.
“Yes…yes…but before this, didn’t you offer to help me and my child then?”
“I do not want to help you…I want to help your child but after thinking about it, I decided that I do not really want to help your family anymore because the only person that will benefit from my help is…is that husband of yours. I do not want to interfere in your domestic affairs and I do not want to interfere in your personal life with your husband. I hope that you will not disturb me again in future, okay?” Jiang Yuning replied with a disgusted expression on her face. Jiang Yuning almost referred to her husband as a ‘scumbag’ but since she was also a celebrity, she had to take care of her own reputation and she decided to watch her own words.
“Miss Jiang, please, please help me. If you help me, you will also be indirectly helping my child. You know and understand my situation. You know that my child needs your help…”
Jiang Yuning did not feel like talking to her anymore because she felt that this couple was too brazen.
In fact, Jiang Yuning knew that the reason why Sister Qin decided to contact her was probably because her husband had instigated her to do so.
That was the reason why Jiang Yuning refused to do so.
After that, Jiang Yuning replied, “Alright then. If you really want my help, I will give you my lawyer’s contact information. Why don’t you talk to my lawyer?”
As soon as the other party heard the word ‘lawyer’, she hung up the phone immediately.
When Vera saw the ugly expression on Jiang Yuning’s face, she was very curious and she asked her, “What happened? Who called you?”
Jiang Yuning sighed before she told Vera about the situation.
“This is all my fault. At that time, when we wanted to rent the place, I was afraid that the landlady would need to contact you. That was the reason why I gave her your private phone number. I did not think too much about it at that time. Now that I realize, I should not have given her your number…”
“I think that it is really fortunate that you gave her my private number. If you did not give them my number, they might have already tried to contact the media already. Vera, please help me to deal with this matter. I believe that the couple would probably have nothing on me anyway but they might try to make some money through the media or other channels. So, you should pay close attention to it.”
“I understand,” Vera replied with a solemn expression on her face. She felt that this incident was her fault from beginning to the end.
“In fact, I have already expected the landlord to contact me.”
At this time, Vera had a complicated expression on her face. This was because she knew that if the scumbag tried to create or start any trouble, then Jiang Yuning would have an excuse to teach him a lesson. However, since Jiang Yuning was about to attend the cultural exchange meeting, it would be much better for her to keep a low profile.”
“Don’t you dare…”
“Vera, a scumbag like him has no bottom line at all. Don’t you think that it would be best if he was not in this world at all?” Jiang Yuning asked with a cold look in her eyes. “I believe that many people will choose to stay away from people like him but what if…there are some people who can’t avoid them at all?”
“The other party has nothing to lose but you still have so many great years ahead of you. I really do not understand what you are trying to do. Are you going to try to kill him?” Vera asked Jiang Yuning.
“Actually, I think that it is very simple to keep him in check. First of all, we have to check whether his parents are still around.”
“Okay.”
After Jiang Yuning stopped talking, Vera did not say anything else. After all, she had already gotten used to Jiang Yuning.
