Chapter 365: A Compensation of Thirty Million and Not a Cent Less

“I got it.”

“You should also explain this matter to Sister Vera personally,” Qing Yan replied as he frowned. “We should teach a valuable lesson to these people who are trying to pull you down and destroy your reputation in the entertainment circle. Let them know that a person who is strong and has achieved everything out of their own ability would never be taken out so easily.”

“You can go and get busy with your work now. You don’t have to worry about me,” Xiao Chennan replied before he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Vera. He did not know if she was already asleep or if she was still awake at this moment.

“The rumors circulating the Internet are not true at all. Trust me and don’t worry about me. I will solve this matter really soon.”

At this time, Vera was in a daze as she sat at the edge of her bed.

X Society had always received first hand news twenty-four hours a day and that was the reason why she received a phone call from the young paparazzo early in the morning.

However, she did not know how she could ask Xiao Chennan about this matter.

It was at this instant that her cell phone suddenly vibrated because of the incoming text message from Xiao Chennan. Vera took a deep breath because she felt extremely helpless and powerless at this moment. She felt that she was only a burden to Xiao Chennan and she had caused harm to his career and future progress just because she was in a relationship with him.

She had already been in the entertainment industry for such a long time. Therefore, she already knew that the rumors must have been started by someone who was trying to take this opportunity to get rid of Xiao Chennan once and for all.

This could only be because Xiao Chennan currently had the highest chance of winning the best actor of the year award.

But what about the truth?

Should she really believe Xiao Chennan without questioning or doubting him?

…

After the rumors had circulated on the Internet for an entire day, things had gotten more complicated as the various media outlets came up with their own speculations and theories about the incident.

[I am really curious right now! Will Jiang Yuning be coming online to ask for a scolding today so that she can take some of the pressure off Xiao Chennan’s back?]

[Xiao Chennan’s reputation has already gone down the drain. I heard that Xiao Chennan’s parents are high-ranking officials who could get anything done if they want to. I hope that the police will conduct a thorough investigation on Xiao Chennan and his family!]

[Does Xiao Chennan really think that he owns this world? How could his family send his brother overseas to escape punishment after causing so much harm to others?]

[If Jiang Yuning dares to come online to ask for a scolding today, I will really kneel down and call her my father!]

[Xiao Chennan is just a scumbag who is wasting resources in this society.]

[Xiao Chennan’s whole family are scumbags! Especially his younger brother!]

…

Jiang Yuning did not even have the chance to drink her milk and eat her Chinese cruller today as she quickly went online as soon as she saw the news about Xiao Chennan.

@JiangJianglovestheScenery: “I will not be asking for a scolding today. I am her to support my friend today. I trust Xiao Chennan because I know what kind of person he truly is. Even if the fans who have followed him for a long time do not believe him and even if fans who proclaim that they love him do not believe him, I will still believe in him.”

What kind of situation was this?

Was Jiang Yuning under a spell?

Did Jiang Yuning understand the severity of this matter? How could she have the guts to step up and show her support to Xiao Chennan at this time?

Xiao Chennan’s agency did not even have the courage to express their stand on this matter but Jiang Yuning actually dared to do so?

Moreover, she had only known him for a few months. How could she have so much trust in him?

Wasn’t she afraid of getting beaten up?

[Jiang Yuning, are you in love with the film emperor? How can you come forward and declare your support for Xiao Chennan? Do you know what kind of evidence the victims have come up with?]

[Everyone else is already trying their best to steer clear of Xiao Chennan and draw a clear line between them so that they will not get implicated in this matter. However, Jiang Yuning amazes us once again because she is coming out to publicly express her support and faith in Xiao Chennan.]

[Why can’t she support him? Is it wrong for her to choose to support him? We all know and understand Empress Jiang’s personality and character very well. Nobody should stop her from believing in her own friends!]

[I am here to fulfil my promise, daddy!]

…

The reason Jiang Yuning chose to trust Xiao Chennan was very simple. After spending some time with him while filming, she noticed that Xiao Chennan had a really good personality and he was really good at building and maintaining a good friendship with everyone around him.

Although his emotions could get the better of him sometimes, he was still a very righteous person.

Even though he knew that Ling Fei liked him, he had never taken advantage of her or given her any false hopes at all. He also made it clear that he was not interested in her at all.

When he found out that the investors wanted to withdraw their investment in <Nameless Orphan>, Xiao Chennan immediately offered to invest more than ten million yuan out of his own pocket just so that Director Mong could retain his dignity.

When he knew that there were people who were secretly instigating Director Mong to replace Jiang Yuning as the first female lead because of the number of NGs during the filming of the first scene, he stood up for her and defended her immediately. This prevented the villain from succeeding in his cause.

Therefore, Jiang Yuning had complete trust in this person.

She did not have any doubts at all.

However, as the scandal got more and more out of hand, Director Mong was placed under tremendous pressure from the media and the public. Jiang Yuning could tell that Director Mong was struggling when she arrived at the filming location to film her scene for that day.

After she was done filming her scene, Jiang Yuning walked over to Director Mong and asked, “Director Mong, is something troubling you?”

Director Mong pulled his jacket and wrapped it tightly around him before he said, “The scandal involving Chennan is getting more and more complicated. The national broadcast station has just called me to ask me to consider replacing Chennan with another actor. They believe that we will be able to mitigate the losses this way.”

“But you also believe in Xiao Chennan, right?” Jiang Yuning replied as she smiled. “Otherwise, you will not be at a loss right now.”

“What about you, young girl? Why are you so confident that Chennan did not do such a thing?”

Jiang Yuning was seated right next to Director Mong and she looked at him before she replied in a serious manner, “Director Mong, if you want to determine a person’s character, you have to observe his conduct and his behaviour when he is around others. This is especially so for artistes in the entertainment industry. Their personality and character can be easily determined from the number of times they change their personal assistants throughout their career. Qing Yan has willingly stuck by Brother Nan’s side ever since his debut. This proves that Brother Nan has a good personality and he is a righteous person. You can see it in his eyes.”

“You can be really convincing, young girl.” After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Director Mong suddenly felt very comforted and confident with his decision to trust Xiao Chennan. This was because Jiang Yuning’s positive attitude made him realize that his decision to support Xiao Chennan was in fact the right decision.

“Do you feel relieved now?”

“Continue filming your scenes!” Director Mong yelled as he patted his thighs. “Young girl, sometimes I think you are really courageous. You dare to do anything and you do not have any fear at all.”

“I am not courageous. I just want to be an open-hearted and righteous person because that will make me unstoppable.”

Xiao Chennan was standing right behind both of them, not too far away, Initially, he had intended to have a good conversation with Director Mong, but he felt that it would be unnecessary now.

Jiang Yuning…

It was no wonder why Vera was so loyal to Jiang Yuning.

However, Jiang Yuning got scolded even more terribly than how she had been the past few days because she spoked up and declared her support for Xiao Chennan.

At this time, Lu Jingzhi was still waiting in the hotel room and when he turned on his cell phone, he saw that Jiang Yuning was getting scolded again.

Therefore, the Lu Jingzhi who always wanted to protect his wife logged into his online account, @Scenery, before he posted: “I really don’t know what to do with you.”

After all, no one would ever find out that the account belonged to him since anyone could create an ID named @Scenery. Therefore, Lu Jingzhi’s comment was quickly drowned out by all the other comments on the Internet.

…

After the incident escalated further, the family was interviewed once again and this time, they even presented the certificate issued by the hospital five years ago. They were very haughty and arrogant as they stood before the reporters and media.

One of the reporters asked, “Why are you only coming out to demand justice now after waiting for more than five years?”

The man who lost an arm replied, “He is the one who has been trying to subdue this news for the past few years. That is the reason why we are so mad and frustrated! Moreover, we have been asking around for the past few years and we have even approached the media a couple of times, but no one would pay any attention to us at all.”

The reporter then asked once again, “So, what do you intend to achieve this time?”

The woman who was standing beside the man brazenly replied, “A compensation of thirty million and not a cent less. He must also be punished under the law so that justice can finally be served!”
