Why should they figure out what he intended to do?
How was that related to her?
After trying to understand this, Jiang Yuning squinted at Vera before she said, “Even if I choose not to make my relationship public during the charity dinner, I will also show what my true feelings are on that night. Vera, you have to understand that the reason why I am holding back now is not because of the public. I am not afraid that my career will be affected if I reveal my relationship status. However, since my relationship with Second Brother has always been so precious and pure, I do not want to compromise my relationship just because I want to suppress all those irrelevant rumors. I do not want our relationship to be affected simply because of the netizens.”
“I am not afraid. I just don’t like to do anything when I am forced to do so. I want to have the right to choose and make the decision on my own.”
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Vera nodded. “I understand, Yuning. I know your character very well. You will never waste your time on anyone who is not worth it.”
“After the promotional activities for <Nameless Orphan>, I hope that the reporters and media will not be so mindless to continue spreading rumors all around. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to greet all of them with a letter from my lawyer.”
Jiang Yuning was very firm on this point.
“As for Gu Hanwei, there is no need to figure out what his attitude or intentions are. If he insists on doing things his way, then we will just retaliate and give him a slap in the face.”
“To be honest, I was not even angry earlier. I only got mad because it seemed as though you have been brainwashed too! How can I tolerate that? Do you really think that the man who had always been by my side is just air?”
“If Gu Hanwei is really a man, then he should come out and confess directly instead of posting all those ambiguous comments on the internet. It is just so annoying!”
“So, you also think that…those contents are related to you?” Vera asked as she glanced at Jiang Yuning.
At this time, Jiang Yuning glared at Vera with a sharp expression on her face.
“How can I ignore your intuition?”
Vera thought about it and she felt that she was not the only one with this intuition. In fact, anyone who read Gu Hanwei’s post would definitely feel the same way.
Wasn’t that the reason why Gu Hanwei’s fans were flocking over to Jiang Yuning’s profile page, begging her to take good care of their idol?
Take care? Why should Jiang Yuning look out for someone she had never met before?
Therefore, the current situation was really complicated.
It seemed as though Gu Hanwei was desperately trying to force a love line out of nowhere whereas Jiang Yuning was desperately trying to avoid it. The Ginger Candies knew very well that there was nothing going on between Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei. Therefore, they also felt that it was really annoying that Gu Hanwei’s fans were trying to force this love line to materialize.
During the next few days, Jiang Yuning was very busy shooting several commercials and attending several interviews. Since the materials had already been prepared in advance, the staff on set did not gossip much and Jiang Yuning was also very focused on her work so that she could wrap up her work as soon as possible. Since there was no updates or any new gossips regarding the love line, the media came up with several new materials to circulate online.
Jiang Yuning was pretending to be focused on her work because she was afraid that someone would ask her about her relationship with the film emperor.
Jiang Yuning: “???”
Well, there was nothing that the media could not come up with.
…
Two days later, after she was done recording the next issue of her variety program, the second young master Lu brought her to the hospital even though it was already late at night.
Since Jiang Yuning had a special identity, Lu Jingzhi made all the necessary arrangements in advance so that the identity of the little descendant would not be exposed. After getting rid of all the reporters and paparazzi, Lu Jingzhi brought her to a single ward.
“Leng Xiaohan. He is the man who had tubes all over him the other day. I want you to get to know him.”
As soon as he spoke, Lu Jingzhi pushed the door open.
At this time, Jiang Yuning thought that the man’s name sounded very domineering.
No, it was very cool.
After stepping through the door, Jiang Yuning saw the man lying on the bed. It was obvious that he was a soldier because of the way he was lying down.
Jiang Yuning suddenly thought about the Leng Xiaohan who had been critically ill just a few days ago. He had several tubes all around his body and his face was as white as paper the other day.
Now, it seemed as though this man had gotten much better. Even though he still looked very thin and fragile, his complexion was now pinkish and healthier than before.
“Xiaohan.”
“Principal Lu, you are here!” Leng Xiaohan replied as he sat up on the hospital bed. After that, he looked at Jiang Yuning who was standing beside Lu Jingzhi at this time.
After looking at them, Leng Xiaohan smiled before he replied, “Sister-in-law actually looks much better in real life than on television.”
Lu Jingzhi was very calm and composed as he usually was. Aside from Lu Jingzhi’s cleanliness and obsessive compulsive disorder, he could not tolerate the slightest panic and he needed everything to be properly planned and strategized. On the other hand, the man lying on the bed had a very strong and sharp aura surrounding him.
“Thank you. You also look so much more handsome without all those tubes all over your body.”
It was obvious that Leng Xiaohan had his own opinion about Jiang Yuning.
It was not simply because of her occupation.
Lu Jingzhi had already mentioned that Leng Xiaohan was a person that had known about Jiang Yuning’s relationship ever since a long time ago. Therefore, Leng Xiaohan had already heard about Jiang Yuning’s name many years ago. Leng Xiaohan felt that Jiang Yuning was not a smart girl because she could actually miss out on a man like Lu Jingzhi.
Now that Leng Xiaohan knew that the both of them were finally together, he would always hear about Jiang Yuning’s involvement in a scandal with another actor from all the various entertainment channels on television. What was this girl up to? She was already married to Lu Jingzhi but she was still getting into trouble with other men outside?
Jiang Yuning could feel Leng Xiaohan’s hostility towards her and she knew that he did not have a good impression of her.
However, she could already guess the reason why he felt this way.
After all, everything that should or should not be broadcasted were always broadcasted on television or circulated on the internet nowadays.
Therefore, Leng Xiaohan must be thinking why Lu Jingzhi had to be so infatuated with someone like her.
Of course, Jiang Yuning was not annoyed. Moreover, she could not possibly start explaining herself in an attempt to clear her own name because that would be even weirder for the both of them.
However, she would not give the other party the chance to look down on her.
Sure enough, after Jiang Yuning said that sentence, Leng Xiaohan did not say anything else even though he started frowning. After that, he turned his attention on Lu Jingzhi instead. “I heard about what happened the other day. I really did not expect to see you after so many years.”
“I thought that you are still my brother for a lifetime even if we haven’t seen each other for so many years,” Lu Jingzhi replied immediately. “However, somehow I feel as though I am not that important to you. I said so many encouraging words to you when I was by your side but it seems as though I cannot even be compared to her.”
Leng Xiaohan’s face was flushed red immediately.
Of course, Lu Jingzhi was protecting Jiang Yuning at this time.
Who asked him to look down on his wife in the first place? Who gave him the right to do that?
How could Leng Xiaohan talk about her this way when he pampered and loved her so much?
Jiang Yuning covered her mouth before she chuckled slightly. After that, she coughed again because she felt that it was a little inappropriate.
“It has already been so many years but you are still so protective over her,” Leng Xiaohan replied as he looked at Lu Jingzhi with an annoyed expression on his face. “If you have so much idle time, why don’t you deal with all that news and scandal instead…”
“Am I living for others or for myself?” Lu Jingzhi asked immediately. “You are not from the entertainment industry so please do not judge other people based on your own assumptions. She is my wife. I know her very well.”
Leng Xiaohan could only stare at Lu Jingzhi…
He did not have anything else to say.
The meaning in Lu Jingzhi’s eyes was self-evident.
He despised him!
