Noticing Ye Yao’s puzzled expression, Jiang Jie explained to her, “What happened just then circulated online so quickly, and the videos were all edited. What do I need to respond to now? This is the production team’s problem. Let them respond.” Nevertheless, Jiang Jie sent the original video to the fan group.
There were only five people in Jiang Jie’s fan group, and they were all hardcore fans of hers. One of them was Ye Yao. After Jiang Jie posted the video, she said to the people in the group, “l won’t do anything today. Let’s see how the production team deals with it. If the production team wants to mess with me, then let’s fight them!”
These hardcore fans had followed Jiang Jie for many years and had never abandoned her. They immediately understood what Jiang Jie meant. Then, they went online to incite the other fans and asked the fans to demand for the production team to come forward to give an explanation. They even tagged the director of the production team. Subsequently, Jiang Jie left things as they were and went out with Ye Yao to have some fun.
Of course, given that she was in the limelight now, Jiang Jie put on makeup to disguise herself. They were now in the studio city, surrounded by ancient buildings. There was even a town square that was lined with retailers. It was very fun.
The two of them walked hand in hand. Jiang Jie was very curious about Ye Yao’s ability. “So… whatever bad things you say will all come true?”
“No.” Ye Yao shook his head. “I can’t make the Earth explode, for example.”
With Ye Yao in tow, Jiang Jie went to stand under a lush tree. She pointed at the tree and said to Ye Yao, “Then can you make the leaves fall like snowflakes?”
Ye Yao laughed. “Alright.” Then she ordered, “Let the leaves drift down.” After a moment, a cool breeze could be felt, and a large number of leaves fell. It looked as though it was snowing.
As Jiang Jie watched, she suddenly thought of something. “When I confessed to Yang Youwei, it suddenly started snowing…
“You only just realize?” Ye Yao said.
Jiang Jie hugged Ye Yao. “You’re really the best! Let’s go. All expenses are on me today!
Ye Yao replied, “You used to foot the bill in the past too.” Jiang Jie came from a wealthy family and she was the Best Actress. In the past, when Ye Yao went out with her, it was always Jiang Jie who paid. Moreover, Jiang Jie treated Ye Yao very well. Even when they didn’t meet up, she would often send Ye Yao branded skincare products and other gifts.
Jiang Jie looked gratified. “Not bad, not bad. I didn’t dote on you for nothing.”
The two of them held hands happily and went around sightseeing and eating. They visited shops until night time and even went to the bar for a drink before returning to the hotel reluctantly.
After taking a shower, Ye Yao lay on the bed and browsed through the content on Weibo. At this point, the discussion about the production team was already like raging fire, but the officials and Jiang Jie had not made any comments to refute the rumors. Only Lin Qi posted a photograph of herself lying on the hospital bed with a cast on her leg. Supposedly she was trying to chalk sympathy points?
Lin Qi was the number three female lead chosen by one of the sponsors of this drama. She had always played minor roles and was not very well-known. This time round, she had finally landed a part as the number three lead but in a villain role. Even after the television broadcast, she would not be too well-known. However, now that her name was appearing alongside Jiang Jie’s, she instantly became popular. Scores of people on Weibo felt sorry for her and supported her by attacking Jiang Jie. The situation escalated. Ye Yao asked Jiang Jie curiously, “Are you really not going to make a statement to explain? The situation’s become quite serious. Won’t it affect you?”
“How could I possibly not explain?” Jiang Jie shrugged. “Just not now.”
Ye Yao’s eyes darted around and she suddenly said with a smile, “Actually, I think you don’t have to worry about it. Let my uncle handle it.”
“Do I need you to tell me that?” Jiang Jie looked at Ye Yao in disdain. “I’ve already spoken to him. You think I so stupid as to not use my boyfriend’s help?”
Jiang Jie liked Yang Youwei very much. It was the crazy sort of like. Whenever she had free time, she would either call him or go look for him. She would tell Yang Youwei every detail of her daily life. She was a very capable and smart woman, but in front of Yang Youwei, she became a weak woman who needed protection.
“You… I think you’re a sucker for romance. You’ll slowly lose yourself in love.”
Ye Yao said with contempt. As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. When she saw that the caller ID was Huo Buyu, she quickly picked up the call.
“I’m still having fun with Jiang Jie here. I’ll go home tomorrow night..”
