Chapter 558: Jiang Yuning is Rising Too Fast

“Ahh. Jiang Yuning’s new drama is about to hit the street and it seems as though the legend is finally about to be rewritten.”

“Since she managed to climb to the top of the altar in one year, she will definitely fall off the altar within the same year. How long can an artiste stay popular anyway?”

“Jiang Yuning is rising too fast! I think it will take about two to three years for her to hit rock bottom again.”

“I heard that they are also giving up on the third round of the marketing and promotional activities directly. I guess the director and the production team are not stupid either. They know that they should not be investing any more unnecessary money in a drama that is bound to fail anyway.”

On a certain forum, posts and comments about Jiang Yuning’s drama was flying all over the streets.

There were plenty of negative comments and it seems as though everyone had a reason to hate Jiang Yuning.

[I feel as though I have already suppressed too much emotions because of Jiang Yuning this year. She is always on the hot search for all sorts of reason. I have already expected her to fail a long time ago.]

[Do we really need a reason to hate someone? I just hate her anyway...]

[Jiang Yuning and her ridiculous Ginger Candies are always acting all haughty and arrogant in the entertainment industry all the time. I have already felt very disgusted by them for a very long time.]

[That’s right! Ugh! Let’s take some time to cool off.]

...

Vera realized that there were a lot of negative comments on the internet after collecting data on <Nameless Orphan>. This was especially so on a certain forum, which seemed to be extremely negative.

Even though Vera had already expected this, she really felt that these keyboard warriors were really much scarier than ghosts.

They were like maggots hiding in the gutter as they terrorize and attacked people by venting all of their frustrations and spreading all of their negative energy on the internet.

“If they have never experienced it for themselves, how would they even know how it feels like to be at the rock bottom? Moreover, there were so many people waiting to insult and trample all over Jiang Yuning. Even if Empress Jiang’s acting in <Nameless Orphan> did not obtain a high rating, this would not affect her ability to accept any other roles or commercial advertisements. Wasn’t it too early for them to be happy?”

Shen Yichen casually read some of the comments on the internet and he could not help but shake his head as he told Vera, “I am really looking forward to the day where the internet can pinpoint all the haters and the keyboard warriors by name. Everything will be so much more visible then.”

“You don’t have to worry too much about it. Just maintain your positivity and look only at the positive energy. After all, what do you think those people who were hiding in the dark corner could ever get in the end?”

Vera nodded slightly before she handed some other materials over to Shen Yichen. “This is a post released by X Society. Why don’t you check and see if there is anything else that you want to add to this post?”

“When would it ever be my turn to point out or change something written by X Society?” Shen Yichen asked. “I will just sit back and watch the show.”

Shen Yichen had already watched several parts of <Nameless Orphan> and he was completely amazed. Empress Jiang’s acting skills had definitely improved a lot. Moreover, he could not see Jiang Yuning’s shadow when she was acting at all. The storyline and the plot of <Nameless Orphan> was also really interesting and very well planned out. It was really a pity that the audience’s prejudice against Jiang Yuning would cause the drama’s rating to suffer.

Ever since the public found out about Jiang Yuning’s marriage to the heir of the Lu family, they no longer dared to insult or criticize her in public. However, there would always be people who were still disgusted by anything she did and also those who were waiting to pounce on her when she got into any trouble in the entertainment industry.

When the director and production team of <Nameless Orphan> gave up on the third wave of the marketing and promotional activities for the drama, there were so many people who were happily celebrating because they had been so jealous and envious of Jiang Yuning.

At this time, Shen Yichen suddenly felt that it was very wise for Jiang Yuning to give up on the third wave of the marketing and promotional activities.

This was because the more the public ridiculed and insulted Jiang Yuning, the more exciting it would be at the end of the day.

There were also some female actresses who were extremely worried and envious when they heard that Jiang Yuning would definitely win an award for her performance in <Nameless Orphan>. However, they were finally relieved and happy when they heard that <Nameless Orphan> would be going down the drain.

The public continued talking about Jiang Yuning.

Even though there were endless criticisms and insults about her online, Jiang Yuning did not seem to care at all. She continued attending her acting classes and she continued reading her scripts when she had to.

For the past few days, there were also rumors that Jiang Yuning had already gone missing and the Ginger Candies did not know about her whereabouts too.

In fact, Jiang Yuning had already asked Vera to arrange for her to go out and experience life for her upcoming movie. Therefore, Vera managed to arrange for her to live in a living condition that was about seventy to eighty percent similar to the protagonist in <Suffocation>.

Jiang Yuning was living in a dilapidated community. There was a mahjong hall in the lower level and the landlady was a young woman in her early thirties. She had a son and they lived on the top floor of the building with her husband who was always drinking and spending the nights with prostitutes.

Moreover, their son was already three years old but he could not speak yet.

According to the other neighbors, the landlord would often throw his son out of the house in a very aggressive manner.

After Jiang Yuning checked into her apartment that night, she heard some movements upstairs.

After a while, Jiang Yuning heard someone rushing down the stairs in an urgent manner.

The entire building was not soundproof at all because it was an old and dilapidated building. When Jiang Yuning opened the door, she immediately saw the landlady running down the stairs with her son. Jiang Yuning quickly grabbed hold of the landlady before she dragged the landlady and her son into her house as she shut the door behind her immediately.

It’s useless. This is useless...he will find me.”

Jiang Yuning could see the panic in the young woman’s eyes and she could also see the fear in the young boy’s eyes. At this time, Jiang Yuning could not describe what she was feeling inside.

This was because even though she had already suffered and gone through a lot of difficulties in her life, she had never suffered this way before.

It seemed as though the most terrifying thing in this world was not monsters, but the despair that came from the bottom of a person’s heart.

“Sister Qin, please sit down first. You will be safe here. Even if he breaks the door open, I will protect you and your son,” Jiang Yuning quickly told the landlady.

The landlady quickly shook her head. “No...I can’t stay here any longer.”

“Why?” Jiang Yuning asked as she grabbed her arm.

“Because you do not know how terrible that man is. When he finds out that someone helped me, he will beat me harder the next time and life would be even harder for my son and I. I am really very scared. Xiao Jiang, just leave me alone.”

After that, the landlady carried her son out of Jiang Yuning’s apartment immediately.

Very soon, there was the sound of a woman’s heartbreaking cry as she begged for mercy from downstairs. Jiang Yuning could not bear it anymore and she ran out of the house immediately. However, at this time, she realized that a crowd of people was watching but no one dared to step forward to help the young woman. This was because all of them knew that the man was a scumbag with no bottom line at all.

Jiang Yuning quickly stepped forward because she wanted to help the young woman but her neighbors stopped her immediately. “Young girl, you just moved in here today. I would advise you not to get involved in other people’s domestic matters.”

Jiang Yuning turned around to look at the woman standing next to her and she frowned as she asked, “Auntie, why is no one helping her at all?”

“It’s not that we do not want to help her. In fact, someone tried to help her in the past but she does not appreciate it at all. There was one time where a young man stepped up to help her and he even beat her scumbag husband up for her. As a result, the couple ended up suing the young man and they demanded a huge compensation from him instead. Who do you think would still want to help her now?”

“Yes, she might be very pitiful but she is not worthy of our sympathy. She is the one who refuses to change the situation that she is in right now. Even though we asked her to leave her husband, she would rather kneel down and beg for his mercy every time he beats her up...”

“I can look for a lawyer...”

“Her brother hired a lawyer for her but she chased the lawyer away because she said that she did not want her son to be without a father.”
