Chapter 534 Strong Presence
By then, how the others thought that Ning Ran was good at sleeping with others and bearing children to get a
better life was no longer anything new to Ning Ran.
Every time there was any news about her, the people on the internet would say the exact same thing. Moreover,
those people were not the minority.
Never mind on the internet, there would be people who would say those things offline as well.
Nonetheless, it was not to say that she was unfazed by those things.
Even if she was, there was nothing she could do about it. Their mouths were not hers, and there was no way she
could stop them from saying what was on their minds.
Therefore, all she could do was not kick up a big fuss over those matters, or else she would be the only one furious.
However, when those people heard what Tang Jing had said, they instantly retorted, “It’s not like we’re talking about
you. This is none of your business.”
“You’re talking bad about Ding, so you’re picking a bone with me!” Tang Jing responded.
Tang Jing’s aim was to make things more serious than it was to make Ding Mi join her.
As long as Ning Ran were to join in, those extras would not dare to cross her.
For them to talk behind her back meant that they were fearful of Ning Ran. They did not have the courage to
criticize Ning Ran in her face.
Indeed, once they spotted Ning Ran coming toward them, they fell silent.
“Ding, you’re here,” Tang Jing greeted Ning Ran.
“Hi,” Ning Ran greeted back with a smile. “What are you all talking about?”
“Some people just keep talking bad about others behind their back. I can’t stand it anymore, so I finally said
something about it,” Tang Jing explained.
Meanwhile, those people who had been commenting about Ning Ran dared not say anything.
“What did they say?” Ning Ran asked, still smiling.
“Uh…” Tang Jing was stumped.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why don’t you tell me about it? I’m rather curious,” Ning Ran continued.
“Forget it. Some people were deliberately slandering you. Don’t mind them, Ding.”
Despite her words, Ning Ran went on, “Did someone say that I only got a role in the movie because of the Nan
family again? Are they talking about me climbing up the social hierarchy with dirty tricks again?”
That stumped Tang Jing even more. She never thought that Ning Ran would initiate such an awkward topic herself,
so she did not know how to respond to her.
“They’re all saying it’s my fault—that I’m to blame for having done that with Nan Chen and to have a child with him.
However, you can’t put all the blame on me. I mean, it takes two to make a child, right? Moreover, I didn’t want
Nan Chen to take such good care of me, but he insisted on giving me a chance to be in a show. There’s nothing I
can do about that, right? Of course, we can’t blame this on the gossip mongers either. They, too, want to have a
child with Nan Chen and get treated as nicely as Nan Chen does with me. Nevertheless, they don’t have that
opportunity, so they have no choice but to feel jealous. Yet, despite their jealousy, there’s nothing they can do.
What then?” Ning Ran asked Tang Jing.
Vaguely knowing what Ning Ran was trying to do, Tang Jing chimed in, “That’s when they’ll talk mean things behind
someone’s back.”
Ning Ran nodded with a smile. “That’s right. They can only do that. So, do you think that I’ll mind that? They’re
talking about the truth; they’re not accusing me of anything. It’s true that I’ve gotten the main role with the Nan
family’s help. Others wanted it but failed. Yet, I got it, so what’s wrong with letting them grumble a little?”
At that, Tang Jing was at a loss for words again.
She, like the others, was jealous of her as well.
At that very moment, she was unsure if Ning Ran’s words were meant for the extras or for her.
“Ding, you’re really a big-hearted woman. You’re right. There’s no point to hold them accountable for this,” Tang
Jing agreed.
“I don’t mind, but I’m scared that Nan Chen would of this. I’m sure you’re aware as well. He doesn’t have the best
of tempers. He’s too used to being a young master of a prestigious family, so his tolerance for most things is a little
low. It’ll be troublesome if he takes certain action after hearing some people mumbling away about certain matters.
Therefore, you have to keep this a secret from Nan Chen. Don’t make him mad, or things will get messy soon. If
they get off light, they won’t be able to stay in the production team. If they don’t, I’m afraid they won’t be able to
stay in this industry anymore,” Ning Ran said.
“Of course, of course. However, if some people are still adamant about stirring up troubles, I’m afraid I won’t be
able to stop myself from telling Sir Chen about it,” Tang Jing responded.
Immediately, the ones who had been talking bad about Ning Ran were frightened out of their wits.
Nan Chen was the main investor of the movie, and they knew that.
Crossing Nan Chen would mean the end of their careers.
In seconds, the entire place had fallen silent.
Of course, Ning Ran was not going to insist on the topic. Upon noticing that things had turned out the way she
wanted them to, she dropped the topic and headed toward the dressing room.
In the meantime, Tang Jing spared another glance at the extras before scoffing and leaving.
At that moment, Tang Jing felt the thrill of lording over someone to the point they were silent.
She enjoyed that feeling, but unfortunately, only Ning Ran could be that domineering; she could not.
Therefore, she had to keep climbing up the ranks. Tang Jing wanted to stand above the others and look down upon
them all.
Ning Ran’s right. Those people are jealous that she has a child with Nan Chen because they didn’t get the chance to
do the same.
Tang Jing desired a chance like that too. She wanted to bear a child for the Nan family as well.
However, it was impossible for her to go for Nan Chen anymore. The only chance for her now was to go after Nan
Xing.
Hence, she was going to use Ouyang Qing to get to know Nan Xing and create an opportunity for herself.
Truthfully, Tang Jing was the one who had posted the comments about Ouyang Qing wanting to sue Nan Xing for
harassment. She was the one who made everyone curse at Ouyang Qing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat Tang Jing was going to do was to pretend to match-make Ouyang Qing and Nan Xing on the surface while
sowing discord between the pair from the shadows to prevent them from actually getting together.
While she sowed discord between the two of them, she would get more chances to come into contact with Nan
Xing and make the man interested in her.
Tang Jing was certain that, one day, she would become part of the Nan family and bear a child for the said family as
Ning Ran did.
On the other side, right as Ning Ran was about to enter the dressing room, she heard a commotion outside.
Someone had arrived, and it was definitely someone important. Otherwise, the people would not have made such
noise.
Then, Ning Ran saw the director walking over with an attractive man.
Although Ning Ran was in the entertainment industry, she had yet to reach the core of the industry. Hence, there
were many big shots in there that she did not know.
However, she knew who that handsome man was.
He was Huang Zichao, the man of many women’s dreams.
He had received the prestigious Mount Gold Awards, and he had later entered Hollywood. Moreover, he had gotten
a major award for his first movie, and now, he was an international celebrity.
The difference between him and Zheng Lunlun was that Huang Zichao presented himself as a mature man. He did
not possess the soft looks that Zheng Lunlun had, but he was a masculine and charming man.
In the past, most of his fans would be mature women. However, now that mature men were the trend, many girls
liked his style as well.
Because of that, he became a popular and capable individual.
“Wow, he’s so handsome! He’s way hotter than he is on television!”
“He’s so manly, and he has such a strong presence. No wonder he’s a great actor!”
An actor like Huang Zichao would have fangirls—both young and old—everywhere.
