1195 I Want to Make You Stay 73 (1/2)

She already had her makeup done and was looking rather energetic.

With her phone in hand, she approached Fang Erlan and sat on the seat beside her before passing her phone to her. ”Look, the discussion on my Weibo has gained over 200 thousand new comments…”

”Why are you showing it to me? I wasn't even the one who instructed these netizens to comment on you.” Fang Erlan gave her a side glance and did not look at her phone.

”What I wanted to say was, if you and your future mother-in-law have communication problems, can you two not drag me into this? I don't need to gain such popularity.” Even as she said this, there was no sign of frustration on her face.

”I haven't seen your Weibo, but I can already guess what those netizens are discussing about you. They're obviously trampling on me and showing support for you.”

”Yan Ge's mother is still the same old person.” Yu Caiwei leaned against the chair and told her lazily, ”A relationship that doesn't have the support of one's parents is bound to not work out in the end. His mother has very high standards and once told me that her son has to marry an educated and sensible girl from a prominent family, not someone from the entertainment industry. You've just gotten together with Yan Ge, and I see that she's been here a few times already but hasn't violently objected to you. She must have conceded because of Yan Ge. To think that you actually asked Yan Ge for a diamond ring worth a hundred million dollars.”

”There are rumors that you were once a mistress of a certain big shot, is that true?” Fang Erlan asked her instinctively.

”Of course it's not!!!”

”How would I possibly know that?” Fang Erlan scoffed. ”I only made a joke with him, but his mother took it seriously. I can already earn my own money now, and I was also born in the countryside, I'm not such a spendthrift or materialistic person.”

”What's the point of telling me this? A lot of people are already convinced that you did ask Yan Ge for one. Unless Yan Ge refutes what his mother said in the presence of the media by claiming that what his mother said isn't the truth and protecting you at all costs, everyone who's doubtful about this will eventually believe that it's the truth. But I believe he wouldn't firmly refute what his mother said in front of the media, he will only make a roundabout explanation at most.”

”Why are you so sure about this?”

”Between their parents and their other half, men would usually choose their parents. Not all, but at least 80 percent of men would do that. Do you think he's part of that 20 percent? If you think that way, it only means that you don't understand him enough and that you don't understand men well enough,” Yu Caiwei remarked as she fiddled with her nails. ”This is the entertainment industry, which idiot would refute their parent's words in front of the media and support their girlfriend? They'll be berated for being unfilial, so it's too difficult to do that.”

”I believe he'll give a clear explanation regarding the incident about the diamond ring.”

Yu Caiwei laughed. ”It all depends on how much he explains. An explanation can be a one-liner or a detailed one. Alright, I'll proceed to the film set first. There are a lot of reporters outside the hotel looking for you. Never would I have expected that though your work hasn't even been broadcasted, you'll become popular because of such news. At least now, many people know your name. You should leave by the back door of the hotel later, there'll probably be fewer reporters there.”

Fang Erlan sat there without uttering a word. Even until the makeup artist had finished helping her do her makeup, she still stayed put there.

”Sis Erlan, shall we go?” Xiao Yue asked gently.

”Go to the room to get my phone.” She passed Xiao Yue the room card and added, ”Get my portable charger as well. I'll wait for you here.”

”Alright.” Xiao Yue took the room card from her and swiftly headed there.

After she'd been waiting for her for about ten minutes, Xiao Yue had returned, but Yan Ge was still nowhere to be seen.

She finally asked, ”Has Yan Ge come by already?”

The makeup artist answered, ”He came at the break of dawn.”

She stood up from the chair and switched on her phone. She glanced at the screen and saw that the battery level was at 40 percent.

Putting on her earphones, she picked a song to play and left the makeup room.

While she had left by the back door of the hotel, there were still reporters there waiting for her. Although there weren't many, it was still not quite easy for her to leave without saying a single word.

Fang Erlan put on a mask to cover her face and, once she went through the exit, the reporters immediately surrounded her.

”Fang Erlan, do you have any response to make?”

”Fang Erlan. Yan Ge's mother claimed that you asked him for a diamond ring worth one hundred million dollars. Is this true?”

While she had wanted to leave without making any response, she couldn't help but change her mind and removed her mask. Upon the sight of this, the reporters started to quieten down and all looked at her.
