After Lu Jingzhi left the villa, Jiang Yuning took out her cell phone to watch the entertainment news as she walked back to the bedroom to wash up.
There was news about the mysterious men that Jiang Yuning had successfully seduced. There was news about Jiang Yuning breaking up marriages and becoming the mistress. There was also news exposing compromising pictures of Jiang Yuning.
Jiang Yuning rolled her eyes as she watched the news. She was a young woman who was only twenty-four years old. Why would she be interested in those old men who do not have a single strand of hair left on their head?
Moreover, those photos could have been photoshopped better.
The worse scandal was the one involving the married director. It was the scandal that Lu Zongye had come up with. Jiang Yuning felt sick just thinking about it.
She was already at her lowest point, yet there were still people who were trying to frame her.
However, it was exactly because she was already at her lowest point that she could just do whatever that she wanted to because she no longer had to protect her own reputation.
Since the director’s wife was heavily pregnant, shouldn’t she be focused on taking care of her baby so that she could deliver her baby safely? Instead, she was more focused on tarnishing Jiang Yuning’s reputation further. This meant that she did not care about her baby.
Jiang Yuning quickly commented on the internet using her own public account as soon as she thought about this. After all, she still had a million fans to protect her.
Furthermore, she no longer had an agency controlling her and so, she was free to act as she pleased.
“I will go to the hospital at ten in the morning to talk about this matter. Come to the hospital and see for yourself if I really slept with that old man. Be rest assured, this will be a civilized conversation and nothing more.”
Subsequently, Jiang Yuning’s public account started blowing up with all sort of comments. There were a mixture of good and bad comments and in a matter of seconds, there were already a hundred thousand comments on her message. She was like a true star.
“She is already heavily pregnant and she still wants to confront her? Isn’t that adding salt to the wound? Jiang Yuning is really a bitch.”
“I already knew that Jiang Yuning was not a good person. Does anyone know why she is so popular? She is so heartless!”
“She still has the audacity to go to the hospital to confront her? How much more shameless can she get?”
There were also others who defended Jiang Yuning and said that the director’s wife was being overly dramatic.
“She is already heavily pregnant so why doesn’t she focus on carrying her baby safely through the pregnancy? Why is she still asking for trouble?”
“Actually, this couple is always involved in all sorts of drama... Furthermore, Huo Yuxi has already admitted that she had colluded with Lu Zongye to frame and set Jiang Yuning up. I am on Jiang Yuning’s side and I will not accept any rebuttal.”
There were countless discussions going on on the internet, all focused on the topic of Jiang Yuning. Of course, nobody likes to be the topic of a discussion where you were labeled as a homewrecker, arrogant bitch, or an attention seeker. However, Jiang Yuning was already used to it as anything she did was always wrong.
This star who was already at her lowest decided to put on a black Chanel dress, paired off with an elegant white coat. She put on a pair of sunglasses and then drove straight to the hospital.
...
Due to the publicity created by Jiang Yuning’s public account, a number of reporters and paparazzi had already camped near the hospital to get coverage of the event.
Recently, the paparazzi and reporters had faced a block in their career because all the artistes had been extremely careful to stay out of the public’s eye. Aside from Ku Jie, most of the paparazzi were struggling to survive.
Therefore, when Jiang Yuning arrived at the hospital at nine-thirty in the morning, the reporters and paparazzi immediately took out their microphones and started crowding around her.
“Miss Jiang!”
“Miss Jiang!”
“Hold on—” Jiang Yuning quickly interrupted the reporters as she took off her sunglasses. “First of all, I hope that all of you can remain calm and be quieter as this is a hospital after all. Be more ethical and have some public morality. I am already used to being judged and criticized by the public, but are you ready to face the same kind of criticism?”
“Secondly, it is still unknown whether Miss Xu would be willing to meet up with me or whether she dares to face me for this confrontation. Therefore, I hope that all of you would not bother the pregnant lady. If you run into any trouble with the hospital, I would not be able to help you with that. I will just be quietly waiting at the cafe next to the hospital. After all, I am also very interested to hear what Mrs. Xu witnessed for herself that night.” After she had spoken, Jiang Yuning slowly walked over to the cafe beside the hospital and ordered a cup of coffee for herself.
She did not believe that Mrs. Xu would not know that she was waiting for her at the cafe next door, considering all the havoc that she had already created on the internet.
The reporters insisted on following her and crowding around her. From time to time, they would also try to get more information from her. “Miss Jiang, since you will be waiting here anyway, why don’t you tell us exactly what happened that night?”
“Alright then...” Jiang Yuning waved her hand, signaling the reporters to sit down. “That night, after the celebration party for the <Queen of Doomsday>, my agency called me to inform me that there was a dinner at the hotel. They advised me to go there to fight for a role for an upcoming new movie. My agent had been drinking a lot at the celebrating party. Therefore, when we arrived at the hotel, he told me to go ahead without him as he wanted to sit in the car and rest for a while. Now that I think about it, I believe that it had all been planned in advance.”
“Subsequently, I decided to go upstairs by myself because in accordance to my company policy and past practices, there would always be another agent waiting for me upstairs. Therefore, I did not evade the meeting and went up directly to the hotel room that the meeting was supposed to take place at. When I entered the room, I realized that Director Xu was already drunk and he was laying on the sofa. Therefore, I turned around and left immediately. However, when I was leaving the hotel room, I bumped into Mrs. Xu and my photographs were secretly taken. The next day, the so-called scandal involving me and Director Xu started blowing out of proportions.”
According to Jiang Yuning’s explanation, it was reasonable for anyone in that situation to misunderstand whatever had transpired in the hotel room.
“What is with the expression on your faces?” Jiang Yuning asked when she saw the skeptical expression on a few of the reporters’ faces. “If you want to find out whether I did spend some time in the hotel room, you can go and find out from the surveillance cameras installed in the hotel corridors. You can check the surveillance video and ascertain the time that I entered and left the hotel room. Huo Yuxi already admitted that she had colluded with Lu Zongye to set me up yet you still have your doubts about me?”
Several reporters touched their noses and felt a little bit embarrassed. “That is also true.”
However, there were gradually more and more people watching and interrogating Jiang Yuning, especially curious passers-by who just happened to be in the vicinity and wanted to join in the fun.
The owner of the cafe was just about to call the police.
Suddenly, a group of about twenty well-trained bodyguards came out of nowhere and started herding the crowd standing outside the cafe very professionally. The owner of the shop finally heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Although the employees of the cafe were all huddled in a corner, they were all taking sneak shots of Jiang Yuning.
Although Jiang Yuning had already been blacklisted, she was still very beautiful.
Her complexion was extremely fair and her cheeks were pinkish. She had the perfect face shape and exquisite facial features. Her face was smooth and she looked prettier than any other artistes who had undergone numerous plastic surgeries.
“Although I say that I am not afraid of getting defamed, I still need your guidance—I am afraid that I will not be able to do it on my own ability.”
Jiang Yuning continued chatting with the reporters in the cafe without holding back any information. After all, she had already been humiliated and defamed, and she had nothing else to lose.
Perhaps it was because she could no longer stand what Jiang Yuning was telling the reporters outside, Mrs. Xu who had been hiding in her ward all along finally decided to send her care worker down to the cafe to pass her a message.
When the care worker saw Jiang Yuning, the only thing that she said to her was, “You will be condemned and judged for trying to push a pregnant woman to a dead end.”
Jiang Yuning snorted and instantly replied, “She is already pregnant but she is still out lying to the public and doing evil to frame an innocent person. I believe that God knows everything.”
