Chapter 397: Serves Him Right! Who Asked Him to be So Sullen!

Two days later, the production team of <Secret of the Nation> announced that Jiang Yuning was officially one of the resident guests on the variety program. As soon as the news was released, there was major hype all over the Internet again.

Other artistes would always try to stay as far as possible from the headlines but things were different when it came to Jiang Yuning.

Didn’t Lin Kaiyan already announce that he would be a resident guest on the variety program a few days ago? Weren’t Jiang Yuning and Lin Kaiyan on bad terms with one another? Why wasn’t Jiang Yuning trying to avoid any clashes or confrontation? Instead, why was she so determined on working together with Lin Kaiyan even though he had already expressed his dislike for her?

However, Jiang Yuning had always been someone who would fight for justice and to prove her own innocence. Whats’s more, Lin Kaiyan was the one who had humiliated her in the first place.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for them to reconcile without an apology from Lin Kaiyan in the first place.

Would there be a big fight again?

The netizens were all waiting with excitement in their hearts.

Jiang Yuning was merely a high school graduate but she was actually invited to participate in a historical and cultural program? Was it really appropriate for her to be one of the resident guests? Wouldn’t that be bad for the program?

The variety program, <Secret of the Nation> unexpectedly became one of the top variety programs that the netizens and the public were looking forward to because of this two huge contradictory factors. They did not even need to arrange for any promotions or trailers for the program.

No, Lin Kaiyan’s fans were all extremely unhappy because they felt that Jiang Yuning was not worthy to be on the same variety program as their idol.

[Is the production team really that dim-witted? They are already lucky enough to be able to invite our Brother Kaiyan to participate as a resident guest on the program. So, why did they invite Jiang Yuning too? Don’t they know that Brother Kaiyan hates Jiang Yuning?]

[The production team is really too ridiculous. I am pretty certain that a war will definitely break out between Lin Kaiyan and Jiang Yuning. I am more than ready to watch the drama unfold.]

[To be honest, Brother Kaiyan’s popularity alone would have been more than sufficient for <Secret of the Nation> to trend on all the hot searches. I really do not understand why the production team has to be so cheap and despicable to cast Jiang Yuning in order to get more attention.]

[Ugh! Why is Jiang Yuning always appearing everywhere I look? It is indeed true that an ugly person seriously seeks for attention all the time!]

[Can Jiang Yuning just get lost already? She is so disgusting!]

[Everyone should take note and defend Brother Kaiyan because this woman will already be arriving at the scene in less than three seconds!]

All the Ginger Candies were perplexed.

In fact, Xue Li had always managed the fan club as though she was managing a military squad. She had always been very strict with the Ginger Candies and the Ginger Candies had always been obedient and submissive to all of the arrangements made by Xue Li and the fan management team. Therefore, they would not act on impulse because they knew that any of their actions would reflect badly on the fan club and Jiang Yuning herself. Although Lin Kaiyan’s fans were cursing at them and insulting Jiang Yuning all over the Internet, they bit their tongue and held back their words because Xue Li had not given them the green light to retaliate and defend their idol.

If they had so much time on hand, they would rather spend their free time looking at pictures and videos of their favorite idol instead.

Does this mean that they were admitting defeat?

No, this was their strategy.

However, Jiang Yuning and the Ginger Candies subsequently became the joke of the day on the Internet because of this.

[Why? Does Jiang Yuning has no fans at all? I thought that she had more than thirty million fans? Why hasn’t any of her fans step up to speak up on her behalf or defend her at all? Are they all so afraid and are they too scared to speak up for their idol?]

[I just checked out Jiang Yuning’s fan page. Hmm…unexpectedly, they are all still in a very peaceful and harmonious state.]

[Well, don’t you know that the team who is managing Jiang Yuning’s fan club are all very strict with the Ginger Candies? They generally do not condone this kind of war and they usually turn a blind eye to this kind of arguments because it is not worth their time at all.]

[I have to admit that Jiang Yuning’s fans are the most harmonious and the most united fan club in the whole entertainment industry. I really do not know how they could just sit still and turn a blind eye to all these provocations and insults.]

[This only makes Lin Kaiyan’s fans seem over emotional and ridiculous. Hahaha.]

[Exactly! The Ginger Candies don’t even take them seriously at all. In fact, I think that the Ginger Candies are busy supporting their idol in their own way.]

[Moreover, don’t you think that Lin Kaiyan’s fans are a little too arrogant and full of themselves? What is the big deal if Lin Kaiyan is the first person to secure a spot as a resident guest on the variety program? Did Lin Kaiyan create any waves in the entertainment industry or the media when the announcement was made? No! However, everyone can see that the variety program, <Secret of the Nation> went up the popularity list as soon as they made the announcement that Jiang Yuning would be one of the resident guests. Why doesn’t Lin Kaiyan just admit defeat already?]

[Hahaha…I also saw some of Lin Kaiyan’s fans saying that Jiang Yuning was trying to get more fame through their idol. Come on now. Whether you admit it or not, Jiang Yuning is now a popular artiste who is in the top tier in the entertainment circle.]

[Why do I feel as though I can improve my own IQ and EQ simply by following Jiang Yuning?]

Lin Kaiyan’s fans continued causing a scene on the Internet and at this time, everyone who were retaliating were the passers-by.

Lin Kaiyan’s fans had gone all out to provoke and try to attract the attention of the Ginger Candies but it felt as though they had failed miserably. They did not have the slightest chance at all.

This made them every more furious…

The Ginger Candies finally responded when the production team released the propaganda pictures of Jiang Yuning for <Secret of the Nation>.

They immediately reacted and made sure that their idol would be on the hot search all over the Internet. #Jiang Yuning is a master in culture#, #Jiang Yuning is absolutely beautiful in traditional Chinese outfits#. The Ginger Candies edited all of the pictures and videos that they could fins of Jiang Yuning which were related to the ancient style and they uploaded it all over Jiang Yuning’s fan page. This included Jiang Yuning’s pictures from <Theory of Tea>, her calligraphy and brush writing skills, her ink paintings, as well as the short ancient videos that she did in the past.

“Sister Yuning is really the most gorgeous person whenever she wears the traditional Chinese outfit! I can’t wait to see her in the variety program!]

“I will always support Jiang Yuning! I am looking forward to her new variety program!”

“My dear sisters, Empress Jiang is coming out to knock us off our feet again!”

The Ginger Candies did not even see Lin Kaiyan’s fans as a threat to them at all. This was because they were certain that everyone could see who was the popular artiste amongst the both of them.

Jiang Yuning would go online and look at all the updates related to her whenever she had the time to do so and she would always laugh when she saw all the comments posted by the Ginger Candies. Her fans were really the best.

They really cared about her. If she really had to deal with all of her haters, then wouldn’t she be extremely busy all the time?

Jiang Yuning had already tried to give Lin Kaiyan a way out but if he refused to do so, then he should not blame her in the future.

…

“You have to go to the television station in the afternoon tomorrow for your personal interview for the variety program. You have to attend a magazine shoot on the day after tomorrow and you will have to attend an interview for <Nameless Orphan> with Chennan next Monday…”

Jiang Yuning nodded her head when she heard all of the arrangements that Vera had made for her over the phone. “I got it.”

“You might run into Lin Kaiyan when you go for your interview tomorrow. I hope that you take extra care and pay more caution before you say or do anything. All of Lin Kaiyan’s fans are placing their focus and attention on bringing you down now.”

“I understand,” Jiang Yuning replied once again.

“It will be Second Young Master Lu’s birthday in two days’ time, right? Would you like me to postpone your magazine shoot to another day instead?” Vera asked as she suddenly thought of the situation.

“No, you don’t need to. Anyway, Second Brother will be working during the day.”

“Alright then…”

Vera knew that Jiang Yuning would definitely have her own plans and arrangements for Lu Jingzhi’s birthday.

However, Vera did not know that Jiang Yuning was actually pretending to have forgotten Lu Jingzhi’s birthday. In fact, she was pretending that Lu Jingzhi’s birthday was not an important day because she wanted Lu Jingzhi to feel as though she did not care at all.

Perhaps Jiang Yuning’ acting was too convincing that it seems as though Lu Jingzhi was in a very bad mood recently.

Even though he continued pampering and doting on her as usual, it felt as though he was constantly trying to drop her some hints here and there.

Serves him right! Who asked him to be so sullen!

Later that night, when the both of them were already in bed, Jiang Yuning leaned against Lu Jingzhi’s body before she intentionally said, “Second Brother, my break is over now. I will be starting work again tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Lu Jingzhi replied indifferently.

“Then…I will go to bed now, okay?”

“Sleep.”

After that, Jiang Yuning really fell asleep.

She slept really well that night.

Lu Jingzhi stared at Jiang Yuning as she slept and he felt a little upset. Did the little descendant really forget that it was his birthday in two days’ time? She was going out to work even on his birthday? Forget it…he had not celebrated his birthday for so many years anyway.
