In fact, Jiang Yuning was a smart person. She knew exactly why Lu Jingzhi refused to believe her confession.
One of the key reasons was because she was Lu Zongye's fiancée and she had been engaged to him for so many years and yet, she had never once expressed any dissatisfaction or resistance towards their marriage.
As she thought about all of this, Jiang Yuning suddenly remembered that Lu Jingzhi wanted her to provide him with evidence that she liked him all along.
"Ahh. Why can't I figure out what is going on in his mind?" Jiang Yuning felt extremely confused and frustrated.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning made a phone call to Lu Jingzhi before she left the house. She did not know why she was feeling so nervous but her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Hello?"
Lu Jingzhi's low voice could be heard on the other side of the line.
"That—I just wanted to ask what time you will be coming home tomorrow? Didn't you ask me to prepare evidence for you to prove that I liked you all along?"
"At night."
"Okay then, I will be waiting for you. Goodbye," Jiang Yuning replied before hanging up in a hurry.
When Lu Jingzhi heard the beeping sound on the other side of the line, Lu Jingzhi put the cell phone away before he looked at his secretary and said, "Send someone to follow Yuning. Look after her and make sure she doesn't get into any trouble."
"Understood."
In fact, what the principal meant was simple. Make sure you watch her closely and don't let her meet up with just anyone.
…
The afternoon sunshine was slightly glaring. Jiang Yuning was wearing a full yellow suit and she had a pair of sunglasses on as she drove to Zhen Yang Media for her appointment with the mysterious person.
Jiang Yuning met up with the young paparazzo that Ku Jie had arranged for her. He was a young boy with long fringe and his eyes were very bright and alert. Jiang Yuning was satisfied as he looked like he was a smart boy.
"When you go in later, you should just pretend that you are my personal assistant. You can focus on filming secretly and do not forget to film what has to be shot."
"Miss Jiang, after we are done here, can you please give me an autograph?"
The young boy looked at Jiang Yuning and smiled, revealing a set of nicely aligned teeth.
Jiang Yuning immediately felt like taking back her words that he looked like a smart boy. She was a second-rate artiste who had already been blacklisted, so how much could her signature be worth now? Why did he still want her autograph?
"Alright then." Jiang Yuning nodded, fulfilling the child's wishes.
After the both of them had agreed on their game plan, they got out of the car and walked into Zhen Yang Media together. When the receptionist saw them coming in, she quickly called the chairman's office to inform him of Jiang Yuning's arrival.
After a short while, the secretary came down to lead Miss Jiang into the small conference room. "Miss Jiang, please have a seat first. Our chairman will be here shortly."
Jiang Yuning tapped her long fingers on the conference table as she looked around the conference room.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuning heard the sound of a woman's high heels walking towards the conference room where she was at, about ten minutes later.
"Miss Huo, after you…"
Jiang Yuning turned around and immediately frowned when she saw the person who had just entered. "So, it's you."
It was not anyone else but it was none other than the woman that her former fiancé anxiously wanted to get engaged to. It was the famous actress, Huo Yuxi.
Huo Yuxi was wearing a black off-shoulder dress that showed off her sexy and feminine figure.
She sat down directly opposite Jiang Yuning and looked at her arrogantly. "It must have really been hard on you for the past few years, Jiang Yuning. You knew that you are not worthy to be called his fiancée, and yet you insisted on being engaged to him. Now that the engagement has been called off, and you reluctantly left Lu Zongye, are you still daydreaming about marrying into the Lu family?"
Was she trying to provoke her?
"Oh, is that right? Is this what Lu Zongye is telling you?"
Jiang Yuning asked indifferently. She wanted to know exactly how shameless the other party could be.
"Why would Zongye be telling me about all these unnecessary things? Who do you think you are?" Huo Yuxi rebuked. "Don't you know for yourself where you stand in the Lu family?"
"I honestly do not know. What I know is that, even when I was still engaged to Lu Zongye, the both of you have been secretly going behind my back to commit adultery," Jiang Yuning replied coldly, refusing to admit defeat as she leaned against the back of her chair.
"It is your good fortune that you are given the opportunity to sacrifice yourself for Zongye and me." After she had spoken, Huo Yuxi turned around to look at the chairman. "Miss Jiang, as long as you promise to give us some good materials, I assure you that I will offer you a contract of employment with Zhen Yang Media. After all, you know for yourself that there is no company that would be willing to sign you now, Jiang Yuning."
"What kind of materials are you expecting?"
Jiang Yuning asked as soon as she looked at the contract in the chairman's hand.
"For instance—you can spend the night with a dark-skinned man, or maybe you can do something else that would draw a lot of attention to yourself," Huo Yuxi said as she looked at Jiang Yuning, full of interest and arrogance in her eyes. "This is probably your one and only way out this time. If you refuse to compromise and give in to our request, then I suppose you understand what would happen to you once you have incurred Zongye's wrath."
"Alright then, give me the contract," Jiang Yuning said eagerly. She quickly took a pen and began writing, 'Go screw yourself' on the contract.
"Take it."
After reading what she wrote, the expression on Huo Yuxi's face changed immediately. "Jiang Yuning!"
"You don't need to shout, Huo Yuxi. I can hear you loud and clear," Jiang Yuning said as she rubbed her ears gently. "I do not know what is the consequences of offending Lu Zongye, but I am curious to know how the public would react when they find out about what you and Lu Zongye have been shamelessly doing all this while. How do you think the public would react to an adulterous couple like you?"
"You? Based on your ability alone? You really think that you have the ability to step over Zongye and expose us to the media?"
Huo Yuxi was indifferent and she continued to unscrupulously humiliate Jiang Yuning.
"You don't think that I have the ability to expose you?" Jiang Yuning said as she turned around to look at the young boy who was standing behind her. "Did you manage to film everything that Huo Yuxi had said just now?"
"Yes, I did." The young boy nodded as he looked at Jiang Yuning. "I guarantee that it is in high definition."
"Jiang Yuning, you are way too naive. Even if you are able to film anything, what makes you so sure that you would be able to bring it out of this conference room?"
"Why would I need to bring it out of the conference room?" Jiang Yuning asked as she held onto her lower abdomen and laughed uncontrollably. "We have already uploaded the video to the internet right away. Huo Yuxi, what kind of era are you living in? If I did not pity you, I would have done a live broadcast in to begin with."
After listening to what Jiang Yuning had just said, the expression of the two persons sitting opposite her quickly changed. The chairman of Zhen Yang Media quickly took out his cell phone and started to search for the keyword; 'Huo Yuxi'. "Miss Huo, there is nothing on the internet."
Huo Yuxi heaved a sigh of relief and the expression on her face relaxed when she heard that there was no hot search about her on the internet. "Jiang Yuning, I will let you experience what it's like to play with me."
Huo Yuxi then took out her cell phone, preparing to call Lu Zongye but before she could make the call, she already received an incoming call from Lu Zongye.
"Zongye…" Huo Yuxi said in her most delicate tone. "Jiang Yuning just humiliated me."
"Why don't you come home first?"
Lu Zongye replied patiently.
"Zongye, I don't care. You promised me that you would make Jiang Yuning pay today—"
"Huo Yuxi, have you not embarrassed me enough?"
Lu Zongye could no longer contain his anger and he screamed angrily at Huo Yuxi. The chairman of Zhen Yang Media quickly searched the entertainment news again.
It turned out that the paparazzo that Jiang Yuning had brought along with her did not upload the video onto the internet himself. The video that he took had already been transferred in real time to Ku Jie, the super paparazzo. Ku Jie then uploaded to his tabloid site, 'X Society' and the video had already garnered more than a hundred thousand viewers in this short period.
The chairman quickly clicked in to view the video. It was really in high definition. The video clearly featured Huo Yuxi, and everything was clear and well-defined.
After viewing the video, the chairman broke out in cold sweat and quickly handed his cell phone over to Huo Yuxi. Huo Yuxi turned pale immediately after watching the video and she almost dropped the cell phone to the ground.
Jiang Yuning could not help but smile when she saw the expression on Huo Yuxi's face. "I guess you can just keep the handsome dark-skinned man and enjoy him yourself. Wow, Ku Jie is really not giving you any face. He should have photoshopped your face a little instead of uploading the original version. Your face looks a little puffy here."
After she had spoken, Jiang Yuning got up from her chair as she was ready to leave. However, before she left, she turned around and said something else to Huo Yuxi who was still in shock. "I feel that it is necessary for me to reaffirm this fact. Lu Zongye did not ditch me. I had never been interested in a scumbag like him, right from the very beginning."
The young paparazzo watched as Jiang Yuning dealt nicely with Huo Yuxi. As soon as they left the conference room, the paparazzo grabbed hold of Jiang Yuning's arm and said, "Please give me your autograph now."
Jiang Yuning walked in front of the young boy with a satisfied expression on her face. "Alright, alright."
In just a few moments, the video uploaded by X Society had already gone viral on the internet. #Huo Yuxi Frames Jiang Yuning#, #Famous actress Huo Yuxi and Lu Zongye affair#, #Scumbag way of breaking up#, #Jiang Yuning was framed#, and all sort of other topics started trending on the hot search on the internet.
Huo Yuxi and Lu Zongye subsequently became the most searched and criticized people on the internet.
"I would strongly recommend that an actress with such bad moral character as her be blacklisted! Garbage!"
"Am I the only one who feels that Jiang Yuning was really cool? I was really amazed when she wrote, 'Go screw yourself!' Haha!"
"Jiang Yuning is not entirely innocent. She is probably the same as Huo Yuxi."
Compared to the previous remarks aimed at her, the number of people swearing and cursing at Jiang Yuning had been relatively reduced. Jiang Yuning scrolled through a few pages of the comments and then laughed out loud. She was really not used to this situation.
At the same time, Huo Yuxi's company and her public relations team were working overtime and trying their best to reduce the damage that had been done to her reputation. Of course, this would only prove to be futile.
