Chapter 424 - How Did You Pull Through Then?

“What would be considered too challenging when God wants to test a person?” Jiang Yuning replied in a calm manner. “Let’s just go in and pretend that we did not see him sitting there. If Su Jinhang comes to visit at the studio later, please tell the staff and crew not to harass him or make things difficult for him.”

“When are you going to do public relations work for him?”

“We will have to wait for the right timing before striking. The time is not right yet,” Jiang Yuning replied before she rolled down the car window. “However, you can take a few pictures of him now so that you can use it when we try to build up his fan base for him in future.”

“I got it.” The young paparazzo nodded his head before he took out his cell phone and took a few photos of Su Jinhang before saving it in his cell phone.

He would keep this pictures since it would prove to be extremely useful when dealing with Su Jinhang’s agency in the future.

It was not the right time for Empress Jiang to step in to deal with Su Jinhang’s agency yet.

…

After entering the dressing room, Jiang Yuning started communicating with the makeup artist with regards to the way the makeup should be applied for Duan Hanyan. Since Jiang Yuning had already read the original novel a couple of times, she had a lot of comments and suggestions on how the makeup artist should apply the makeup for her.

Duan Hanyan was a character with many different emotions, which were divided into three different stages.

During the first stage, she lost all that she had and she chose to shut everyone out of her life as she remained all by herself. The makeup and colours that would be suitable for this stage would mainly be light purple and aqua blue.

During the second stage, Duan Hanyan got to know Yan Huasu and her cold and frozen heart finally softened. After letting Yan Huasu into her life, she was much brighter and happier. Therefore, the makeup and colours that would be suitable during this stage would be green and goose yellow.

During the third stage, Duan Hanyan finally found out that her lover was in fact the biggest villain of all. She was devastated and depressed. The colours that would be suitable for this stage was either black or red.

After listening to Jiang Yuning’s suggestions, the makeup artist felt that what Jiang Yuning had just mentioned sounded extremely reasonable. Therefore, she immediately made some minor changes to the makeup and costume so that it would be well suited for the different stages in Duan Hanyan’s life.

About two hours later, Jiang Yuning was finally ready with her first set of outfit and makeup.

She was wearing an aqua blue dress that made her seem very mysterious and deserted and she had several silver accessories on her wrists and waist. This highlighted her spirit of heroism.

She was holding a long whip in her hand and her straight and long black hair was flowing down her back. She looked very chivalrous and yet very beautiful at the same time.

Jiang Yuning had never once disappointed whenever she wore a traditional Chinese outfit.

The makeup artist and the staff could not help but applaud when they saw Jiang Yuning. Before this, they had not been able to imagine what Jiang Yuning would look like after putting on the makeup and wearing the traditional Chinese outfit. Now that they had seen how she looked like in the full outfit, they felt extremely relieved because Jiang Yuning was the perfect person to play Duan Hanyan.

“Really beautiful. Very, very beautiful.”

“Yuning, you look so beautiful.”

“I have never seen any other female artiste who look as beautiful as you in a traditional Chinese outfit.”

The makeup artist could not help but sigh as she stared at Jiang Yuning. After that, Jiang Yuning headed into the studio to take her first set of photographs for the posters.

At this time, Su Jinhang was watching Jiang Yuning from a corner of the studio.

After looking at Jiang Yuning’s photographs, Su Jinhang was even more certain that he wanted the role of the first male lead in <Yan Huasu>. This was because he felt that Jiang Yuning was a role model that he wanted to follow.

Su Jinhang stayed to watch all three sets of photographs that Jiang Yuning took and he only left the studio secretly in a discreet manner after Jiang Yuning was done with her photo shoot.

However, as he was leaving the studio, he ran into another group of people who had just arrived at the studio for work. Even though he was wearing a cap and a mask, the group of people recognized him immediately.

“Is the person who just left Su Jinhang? What is he doing here?”

“Who knows? Hasn’t he been under a lot of criticism for the past few days?”

“Yes, who would have thought that he was so ugly in the past? This really highlights the skills of the plastic surgeon who did the surgery for him.”

“Hahaha. Ugly people are always up to all sorts of tricks. To think that someone like him actually has the audacity to vie for the role of the first male lead in <Yan Huasu>. Is this some sort of joke to him?”

The few people continued discussing the matter even after they entered the dressing room.

Jiang Yuning listened to their conversation before she glared at them with a cold expression on her face.

The group of people were stunned when they saw Jiang Yuning and they stopped talking as they avoided the sharp and cold look that Jiang Yuning was giving them.

After that, Jiang Yuning finally left the dressing room with the young paparazzo. At this time, the group of people who had just entered the dressing room finally heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“It turns out that Jiang Yuning is also at the studio today. Do you think that Su Jinhang came here for a date with Jiang Yuning?”

“That is probably the case…”

The few of them continued discussing the matter among themselves as they felt that they had just discovered some big secret that Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang were trying to hide. Had they actually caught them red-handed?

Why did Su Jinhang leave the studio in such a low-key manner if he did not have a guilty conscience?

“I initially thought that Jiang Yuning would not be interested in someone like Su Jinhang. However, it seems as though we were all wrong. Unexpectedly, Su Jinhang seems to be her cup of tea after all.”

“I guess Su Jinhang must have made up for his looks in some other manner. Perhaps he is really good in bed…”

The group of people laughed amongst themselves before they exposed and leaked this matter out as though it was some sort of joke.

@EntertainmentToday: Juicy news! Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang were caught red-handed on their date even though they tried to sneak around.

@StarEntertainment: The news about Su Jinhang and Jiang Yuning is proven to be true! We have CCTV evidence to prove this!

The news spread around the Internet like wild fire and there were all sort of harsh and malicious rumors about both of them.

Did the netizens think that there was really no one else at the recording studio?

…

“Sister Yuning, these people are really unbelievable. Do they really get a sense of satisfaction by creating rumors and spreading false news across the Internet?” the young paparazzo asked as he was very angry after seeing the news on the internet. What would happen if Lu Jingzhi saw the news? “Sister Yuning, would brother-in-law misunderstand you if he read the news?”

“What do you think?” Jiang Yuning asked as she rolled her eyes at the young paparazzo.

Of course, Lu Jingzhi would not believe the rumors but that king of jealousy would definitely be unhappy.

After she was done speaking, Jiang Yuning logged into her social media account before she posted a message: “Don’t dance in front of me. I am afraid that you cannot afford to challenge me.”

Empress Jiang had just gotten rid of the film emperor, Lin Kaiyan, recently.

It had not even been that long and someone else wanted to challenge her already?

A short while after the incident broke out on the Internet, Su Jinhang contacted Vera to express his regrets and to apologize for the situation. He admitted that he was in fact at the studio today because he wanted to watch Jiang Yuning’s photo shoot but he really did not have any bad intentions at all. He really did not expect things to turn out this way.

Su Jinhang was very sincere and he was actually very kind and honest.

He was so cautious and he did not even dare to contact Jiang Yuning personally because he did not want to drag her into any bad situation.

Jiang Yuning knew what it felt like to be blacklisted by everyone.

“From his tone over the phone earlier, it seems as though that child is going to go back to his agency to ask them for help to deal with his public relations,” Vera informed Jiang Yuning over the phone.

Jiang Yuning knew that Su Jinhang’s agency was in fact the mastermind who tried to destroy his reputation in the first place. This was because they wanted to force him to compromise and to be obedient to whatever orders that they had for him. If this was the case, why would they help him with his public relations matters?

“Vera, please call him and stop him from going back to his agency.”

“He already left a long time ago. How will I be able to stop him in time?” Vera asked. “Do you think that I should go to his agency directly to stop him from asking them for help? Do you think…that would be a little too much?”

Jiang Yuning took a deep breath before she replied, “The child is weak. He will not be able to pull through this crisis on his own.”

“Then, how did you pull through in the past?”
