My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 949 His Identity

Luo Zhiyi, who had witnessed the entire incident, felt a surge of frustration.

She had wanted to embarrass Ning Ran by bringing up her past with Nan Chen, but little did she know that the

usually aloof Nan Chen had transformed into an attentive and caring father in front of Ning Ran.

What did she say? Did she really tell Nan Chen to put the kids to bed soon instead of clinging to Ning Ran? How can

Nan Chen be clingy? What is she even talking about? This is so frustrating. I can't believe Nan Chen went to the

extent of calling the producer just to have a conversation with Ning Ran. It's as if he deeply misses her. Has he

really changed that much? He used to be so cold and distant, and now he's become an overly affectionate father. I

simply cannot accept it!

The longer Luo Zhiyi dwelled on it, the more her indignation grew. She grabbed a wineglass and approached Ning

Ran, her height towering over the latter.

She was significantly taller than Ning Ran.

The physical advantage she held only intensified the sense of oppression that Ning Ran felt.

However, Ning Ran met Luo Zhiyi's gaze fearlessly.

They both stared at each other for a few seconds, finding each other gorgeous.

They were each beautiful in their own way.

Luo Zhiyi raised her glass. “Ms. Ning, I had no idea you were going to be in this show, too. The producer is my

senior, so I can remind him to take care of you.”

Ning Ran was displeased to hear that. “Thank you, Ms. Luo, but I was invited to film this show. I only agreed as they

offered me a lot of money. If they torture me or make me upset, I shall leave at once. I don't need anyone else to

take care of me!”

Her sharp retort left Luo Zhiyi in an awkward position, unsure of how to respond.

Luo Zhiyi's expression changed slightly, but she maintained a smile. “Oh, right. You're a celebrity who needs to be

exalted now.”

Ning Ran flashed a grin. “There's no need to exalt me. However, I won't allow anyone to bully me. Thank you for

your concern, though.”

Luo Zhiyi's lips curled. “No problem. I still need to greet everyone else, so please excuse me.”

As she turned away, a sense of gloom settled over her eyes.

She had intended to exert dominance over Ning Ran, but her attempt had backfired.

Regret washed over her as she realized that she should have suppressed Ning Ran before the latter gained fame. It

would have been much easier.

However, such a move would have been too obvious and risked alienating Nan Chen, so she had to suppress her

annoyance and frustration.

Unfortunately, she had missed the perfect opportunity, and now Ning Ran's rise to fame through a movie made her

a formidable opponent.

Nevertheless, Luo Zhiyi wasn't ready to give up just yet.

After the gathering ended, Cheng Xiangyun was on the way back to the hotel when she received a phone call.

After Ning Ran accused a contestant of plagiarism today, the situation quickly escalated online.

The accused contestant took to WeChat Moments to express his dissatisfaction, claiming he had joined the show to

gain experience but ended up being personally attacked.

Feeling deeply insulted, he shared the same message on Weibo. This attracted the attention of several

entertainment accounts, who quickly reposted the content, leading to the issue gaining widespread attention.

Furthermore, some eliminated contestants also voiced their criticism against the production team.

Since the production team consisted of multiple individuals, they couldn't be directly targeted, resulting in Ning Ran

becoming the main focus of the backlash.

She was accused of being a music novice who unjustly humiliated the contestant by accusing him of plagiarism.

It was easy to influence and incite young people online.

Netizens swiftly joined the chorus, hurling insults at Ning Ran and demanding that she leave the show and issue an

apology.

Ning Ran was initially in the right but got wrongly accused online.

She couldn't stop the netizens from criticizing her.

Leaning back into her seat, Ning Ran quietly read through the comments filled with harsh criticism directed at her.

While it wasn't the first time she had faced such disparagement, each instance still managed to upset her.

The sting of criticism had yet to become numb, and she couldn't help but feel upset by it.

However, she understood that this was an inevitable part of working in the entertainment industry.

“Try not to let those comments affect you too much. It's unfortunately common in our industry, so don't let it bring

you down,” Cheng Xiangyun said reassuringly.

Ning Ran looked up and gave her a smile. “I'm fine. What did Ou say?”

“She mentioned that this kind of backlash is something we anticipated, and she advised you to refrain from giving

any media interviews or defending yourself on social media. The company will handle the situation,” Cheng

Xiangyun replied.

“Got it.” Ning Ran nodded in response.

Cheng Xiangyun said in a comforting tone, “Remember, it's a common experience for celebrities to encounter

criticism and difficult situations. Try not to let it affect you personally.”

Ning Ran's lips curved into a wry smile. “I'm honestly fine. Deep down, I had a hunch that something like this might

happen. The contestant seemed quite arrogant on stage. When the producer mentioned his name, the director

kept sending me hints. It's possible that this contestant has some kind of influential background. Maybe he's a

wealthy heir, and I unintentionally offended him.”

Cheng Xiangyun appeared concerned. “Did you inadvertently offend someone with significant influence? If that's

the case, shouldn't the production team have informed us beforehand to handle the situation differently?”

Ning Ran shook her head. “If the production team had informed us in advance, it would have appeared staged and

insincere on television. As I reflect on it now, the judges' votes being evenly split was likely a deliberate plan. They

knew I wouldn't want to be portrayed as a villain and would ultimately vote for the contestant to stay. It was all

calculated to create the desired impact. The audience would be unaware of the prearrangement. It was a clever

move. Now that the contestant is criticizing me, do you think the production team will come to my defense? I highly

doubt it. They want the situation to escalate, as it would generate more attention for their show.”

Cheng Xiangyun exclaimed, “Was that a trap? Did we fall for their trap?”

Ning Ran shook her head. “It may not necessarily be a trap. It could just be an unfortunate incident. Even if it is a

trap, it doesn't bother me. I don't mind being used to create hype.”

Cheng Xiangyun had initially been concerned that Ning Ran would panic, but to her surprise, Ning Ran remained

remarkably composed.

After Cheng Xiangyun saw Ning Ran's calm demeanor, her own anxiety subsided.

After all, if the person directly involved was calm, there was no need for her to become anxious.

In the hotel elevator, Cheng Xiangyun couldn't help but chuckle. “There's this netizen with the username 'Demon

King' who seems to be a big fan of yours. They've been replying to all those insulting comments.”

Demon King? That name sounded familiar to Ning Ran.

She went on Weibo and saw “Demon King” giving scathing replies to those who insulted her.

Ning Ran chuckled aloud as she finally recalled who that was.

Back when Nan Chen told Dabao to register a Weibo account for him, Erbao helped him come up with the

username “Demon King.”

Is Nan Chen actually responding to the netizens this late at night? I can't believe he's engaging in such childish

behavior, given his status. He could easily hire ghostwriters to handle the situation on his behalf. There's no need

for him to personally get involved like this.

As Ning Ran read his responses, filled with clever quotes, sharp language, and logical arguments, she couldn't help

but be impressed. He sounded like a skilled debater, yet his words carried a certain elegance and dignity. While he

criticized others, his approach was different. It was clear to her that Nan Chen was the one behind these responses,

as no one else could execute them so flawlessly.

As Ning Ran imagined Nan Chen typing out the responses on his computer with an aloof expression, she burst out

laughing.

Oh, how funny!
