Chapter 241: I Feel Uneasy Because You Have Been So Obedient for the Past Two Days

Lu Jingzhi obviously could not enjoy himself, as Jiang Yuning was very tired.

After Jiang Yuning fell asleep, he turned around and pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms as he hugged her tightly.

It had been so difficult for him to fall asleep the past two nights because he felt so lonely. Two nights without Jiang Yuning felt like a century.

Now, he finally understood why he couldn’t eat or sleep when she was not around.

He knew that Jiang Yuning felt the same way about him. Just as these thoughts were running through his mind, Jiang Yuning suddenly murmured in her sleep, “Second brother…I really missed you so much.”

Lu Jingzhi could not help but sigh as soon as he heard those words. He simply kissed Jiang Yuning’s forehead gently before he whispered, “I missed you too…”

…

Vera decided not to appear at the Royal Dragon Villa for the next three days because Jiang Yuning had been so tired and exhausted when she sent her home. She wanted Jiang Yuning to rest and recuperate.

During that time, Vera had to search and decide on the gown that Jiang Yuning would be wearing to attend the annual dinner hosted by Guangying Media. Moreover, she wanted to stay away from the Royal Dragon Villa in order to preserve her own life.

However, as Jiang Yuning was resting at home, something happened to Director Mong.

Some media received some inside news that Jiang Yuning would no longer be the first female lead of <Nameless Orphan>, but she would be replaced by someone else instead.

A short while later, some keyboard warriors started getting active on the internet and started commenting that it was only reasonable for the director to replace Jiang Yuning with another actress since Jiang Yuning’s acting skills were questionable.

As soon as Vera saw the news, she contacted Director Mong’s personal assistant immediately. “What is going on with the rumors spreading all across the internet?”

“Sister Vera, don’t worry about it. Someone is trying to put pressure on Director Mong so that he will cave and give the role of the first female lead to Ling Fei instead of Sister Yuning. However, our Director Mong has never been one to give in to pressure. The more anyone forces him to do something, the more impossible it will be for them to achieve their goal,” the young assistant quickly assured Vera. “I am just very curious. Why is Ling Fei so adamant on getting the role of the first female lead in <Nameless Orphan> all of a sudden? I thought that she has always been interested in youth idol dramas?”

“Who knows what is going on in her mind?” Vera sneered. She had already heard stories about how shameless Ling Fei’s agent and team could be, but she did not understand how they could be so brazen to try and snatch the role of the first female lead of <Nameless Orphan> from Jiang Yuning out in the open. Weren’t they afraid of the criticism that they would receive from directors and fans of the youth idol dramas?

“I have also heard that Ling Fei has a very powerful figure backing her up behind the scenes. So, even though the director of <Twilight Clouds at Dawn> has already heard the news, there is nothing that he can do.”

Hm. Who was the powerful figure that was backing Ling Fei up?

Ling Fei’s team adopted a high-pressure policy, sending people up to Director Mong’s doorsteps everyday in order to pressure him, but it seemed as though their strategy was not working at all.

Annoyed, Ling Fei’s team contacted Director Mong directly. “If we can’t get you to replace Jiang Yuning, then we will just replace you!”

How could these people who were trying to rob someone else of their role…be so arrogant nowadays?

Ling Fei’s team did not understand Director Mong’s importance in the drama <Nameless Orphan>. He was both the director and screenwriter of the drama. If Ling Fei’s team really tried to remove him from the picture, would the whole project even be feasible anymore?

In the end, Director Mong decided that he’d had enough. He contacted Ling Fei’s team before he said, “Bring your actress to come and meet me tomorrow.”

“Director Mong, are you really going to replace Sister Yuning?” the young assistant was a little worried and she really wanted to inform Jiang Yuning on what was happening.

“What do you think?” Director Mong asked coldly. “Don’t you think that it’s a terrible thing for an actress to have such a powerful figure supporting and backing her up behind the scenes? However, even if God had her back, she would never be able to rob any roles from anyone in my drama! Never!”

Shortly after that, Vera informed Jiang Yuning about the incident where Ling Fei’s team was putting pressure on Director Mong.

She would never have expected this kind of behaviour from a celebrity team in the entertainment circle.

“I have already asked your brother to conduct a detailed investigation into Ling Fei and her team. We will get the results of his investigation latest by tomorrow. Let’s wait and see how powerful the man who is backing Ling Fei really is. Anyway, you can be rest assured because Director Mong is not like any other ordinary director.”

“I think you really provoked Ling Fei during the time you spent together on the island.”
