Initially, Vera was really tempted to ask her whether to could keep a low profile since the entire world was focusing their attention on her at the moment.
However, as she thought about it, she felt that it would be better for Jiang Yuning to accompany her husband instead of sitting around at home on her own.
Therefore, Vera did not say much but she only reminded her, “Alright then, you can go. Please make sure not to get secretly photographed by anyone.”
“I am leaving with Second Brother. No one would be brave enough to secretly take pictures of us,” Jiang Yuning replied as she was confident about this.
Usually, no one would have the courage to approach the car with the red license plate that was always surrounded by bodyguards.
Jiang Yuning washed up and got ready quickly as she waited for Secretary Ho. As soon as he arrived at the Royal Dragon Villa, she got into the car immediately as he put her luggage into the car.
At this time, it was already late at night. After getting into the car, Jiang Yuning looked at Secretary Ho as she asked, “When did you receive the news?”
“The principal was already on his way back home and he even bought some of your favorite snacks for you. However, he turned around as soon as he received the news,” Secretary Ho explained immediately. “Young Mistress, you can sleep for a short while as we will only meet up with the principal after leaving the city.”
Jiang Yuning was not sleepy at all.
This was because she was worried about Lu Jingzhi.
After getting provoked by Xu Beishen during Lu Jingzhi’s graduation ceremony when she was seventeen years old, she had not tried to understand or get involved in her second brother’s life anymore. She was afraid of getting closer to him.
Why did he join the military as soon as he graduated from university? What did he do during his two-year military career? Jiang Yuning could not imagine how he lived before they reunited.
It was rare that she finally had the opportunity to understand Second Brother’s past. She would finally be able to see a completely different side of him.
“Young Mistress, are you okay? I saw those rumors on the internet…”
Secretary Ho was afraid that Jiang Yuning was overthinking because he felt that she was too quiet throughout the journey. Therefore, he was trying to divert her attention at this time.
“I am fine.”
“I saw rumors stating that you have offended one of the top international actors in the movie industry and you have lost a lot of resources because of that.”
“Oh, is that so? I didn’t know that,” Jiang Yuning replied indifferently. This was because all that she could think about right now was Lu Jingzhi.
However, the situation on the internet was getting more and more out of hand at this time.
@EntertainmentTV: “We have decided to give some response to the questions posted by fans. First of all, Jiang Yuning offended a very well renowned actor in the entertainment industry by turning down the role of the first female lead in <Desperate Line of Defense>. This would probably mean that she will not be able to receive any more offers to play any roles in a movie, in future. Secondly, Jiang Yuning’s attitude is very clear. She is not interested in Gu Hanwei at all. Thirdly, we have gotten confirmation that Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei will be attending the charity dinner event.”
[So, Jiang Yuning turned down the offer to play the role of the first female lead in <Desperate Line of Defense>? Why would she turn down such a good resource? Is she crazy?]
[A big movie production from a big company, filled with the presence of international movie stars. Why would Jiang Yuning refuse an opportunity like this?]
[Jiang Yuning turned down an offer to star in a movie? Are you kidding me? An internationally renowned actor is going after her but she is turning him down? Why is she playing so hard to get?]
[Why does she have to agree just because he is chasing her?]
[I agree!]
[Actually, I feel that…it is normal for a girl to be arrogant. In fact, I feel that the both of them would make a very good couple. I am actually pretty optimistic about this love line. I feel that they are very compatible with one another.]
[Jiang Yuning is not worthy of someone like Gu Hanwei!]
[Our Brother Hanwei is so popular. How can someone like Jiang Yuning actually match up to him? Keep this flower pot away from my brother! I will never accept someone like her to be his partner!]
[I will definitely choose not to watch the movie if Jiang Yuning is acting in it!]
[Sorry but I do not believe any of the rumors on the internet…]
…
There were a lot of rumors circulating around the internet at this time.
The netizens and public could not stop criticizing and reprimanding Jiang Yuning.
Regardless of Jiang Yuning’s intentions, the netizens felt that Jiang Yuning should not have turned down the opportunity to star in the movie.
Moreover, it was very difficult for Jiang Yuning to deal with public relations matter when it came to issues involving relationships.
The official statement that Guangying Media release not too long ago was living proof that public relations did not work at all.
As long as the netizens are convinced that the rumors are true, then it was useless for Jiang Yuning or Guangying Media to say anything at all. No matter what they said and no matter what material they used to prove her innocence, the end result would still be the same.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning could not be bothered about this matter at all.
At seven-thirty in the evening, Jiang Yuning finally met up with Lu Jingzhi in the suburbs of Luo City.
As soon as she got into his car, she held his hands immediately. Jiang Yuning was a little surprised because his hands were extremely cold even though his body temperature had always been very warm.
“Second Brother…”
Lu Jingzhi took a deep breath before he looked at the little descendant. The street lights continued glimmering in their faces as the car drove on the dark street.
“He is a comrade that I have no chance to meet up with ever since I retired from the military. He is a friend that I could have a drink with as I talk about you.”
At this time, Jiang Yuning knew that this was a very important friend to Lu Jingzhi.
This was because there were not many people that Lu Jingzhi would talk to about her.
“I will accompany you to see him now,” Jiang Yuning replied as she leaned closer to him. After that, she threw herself in Lu Jingzhi’s arms as she continued comforting him, “Trust me. He is going to be fine. Even though you have never mentioned him to me before, I know that he must be a very righteous and good man. God will always watch over this kind of people, okay?”
“He holds a very high position in the military and he never had a chance to leave the military camp. That is why I never had a chance to catch up with him…”
“I know.”
Lu Jingzhi did not speak anymore as he hugged the little descendant tightly in his arms. “Since you could return to my side even after so many hurdles and challenges, I believe that he will also be fine.”
“Second Brother, you must be tired since you have already been working all day. Why don’t you get some rest?”
Lu Jingzhi shook his head before he readjusted his posture so that Jiang Yuning could comfortably lean against him. “You should get some rest. We will not be reaching soon.”
Jiang Yuning wanted to continue talking to Lu Jingzhi but she understood him very well.
She knew that he would definitely feel more uncomfortable and upset if she continued comforting him. Therefore, she chose to remain silent at this time.
Even though the conditions of the road was really bad and bumpy, Jiang Yuning actually fell asleep.
When she finally woke up, the car was already parked outside the military hospital. It was still dark at this time. Jiang Yuning took out her cell phone to check the time and she realized that it was already four o’clock in the morning.
After a short while, Lu Jingzhi finally returned to the car with a coat in his head. After that, he draped the coat around Jiang Yuning as he said, “It is very cold on the mountain.”
“Since he is in such a critical condition, why aren’t they transferring him back to the city?”
“His injury is too serious and he is in a very critical condition. Therefore, he cannot be moved at this time,” Lu Jingzhi replied in a brief manner. “A very professional surgeon had already rushed over here and the operation is currently in progress.”
After that, Lu Jingzhi probed her forehead as he asked, “Are you feeling any discomfort? The higher the altitude, the thinner the air. I am afraid that you will experience some nauseous feelings because of the altitude.”
“I am fine. Don’t worry about me, Second Brother. I have filmed at a high altitude before. We can move on without any delays,” Jiang Yuning assured him immediately as she held his hand.
