Chapter 80: The Law of the Jungle (Part )
Ruogu raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard that. That kind smile made her look more friendly and approachable.
She said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your love for Brother Yuan. I have always supported his work. He has done an excellent job both on stage and behind the scenes. You can watch "The Abyss" first to satisfy your craving."
Ruogu's words returned to the main topic, and Teacher Xiao took over and continued talking. She was very methodical in her way of dealing with people, and even when she was standing in front of the stage, she could do it with ease and distinguish the primary from the secondary.
When the host was interacting with the film's creative staff, she slipped away quietly. This move was not noticed by the audience, but was seen by netizens who were watching the live broadcast, and the screen was constantly refreshed with comments.
"Yu Yuan's wife is really a matron. Even at this time, she still remembers to promote the movie. This couple is a typical strong combination."
"To be honest, such a dignified and talented woman is more than enough for Yu Yuan."
"I don't know what these brainless fans are thinking. They are not satisfied with having such a good sister-in-law."
"You don't know how great Doctor Chen's medical skills are. Apart from his good looks and acting skills, what else can make Yu Yuan a match for Doctor Chen?"
"That's right. I don't care about Yu Yuan's crazy fans. Doctor Chen is highly respected and can't be compared with celebrities in the entertainment industry. Yu Yuan must have been lucky in his previous life to marry Doctor Chen."
"After all, they deceived the public. I think artists like them should be boycotted!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, causing fans of Ruogu and Yu Yuan to attack each other.
Liao Dingmin was overwhelmed by the barrage of comments. When he looked up and saw Ruogu entering the lounge, he stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you have quite a few fans. They are quite powerful and are on par with Brother Yuan's fans. The public opinion is much better now than before."
Ruogu looked calm when he heard this. No matter how things develop, Yu Yuan will reduce his workload in front of the screen. Whether the fans support or oppose it, it will not affect him much.
Ruogu sat on the chair with some fatigue. She said in a gentle voice: "We don't need to pay too much attention to the public opinions on the Internet. We don't live on the Internet, and we can't stop the gossip. If we pay too much attention, we will live a very tiring life."
Liao Dingmin really admired her. Few women could be as emotionally stable as she was. He looked at the time and said softly, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yuan has to be busy for a while. There will be a dinner party after the event. How about I prepare something to fill your stomach first?"
Ruogu was in a hurry to get here. Although he was not hungry at the moment, he still had to attend social events, so he said softly, "Then please prepare some light food for me."
Liao Dingmin said in a steady voice: "Okay sister-in-law, then you stay here alone for a while, and don't open the door no matter who knocks."
The event was a mixed crowd, and Assistant Liao was worried that someone had ill intentions, so Ruogu nodded slightly in agreement.
Han Shuo was also busy at the event. After Xie Bin sent Ruogu over, he went back, so there was no one else accompanying Ruogu.
Liao Dingmin moved quickly. The amount of food he brought to Ruogu was not much, so he could finish it in just a few bites. Not long after the two of them sat down, someone knocked on the door of the lounge. Liao Dingmin stood up and asked with a vigilant look, "Who is it?"
He was worried about the reporters who were everywhere and would sneak in to take pictures and write about things. Ji Xi's familiar voice came from outside the door. She chuckled and said, "It's me. Brother Yuan asked me to bring someone to style my sister-in-law."
Liao Dingmin finally relaxed. He walked over, opened the door, and invited Ji Xi and the stylist in. Ji Xi smiled when she saw Ruogu. She said in a cheerful voice, "Sister-in-law, what you said on the stage just now was so beautiful. The PR manager and I couldn't help but applaud. You suppressed the fans as soon as you showed up. It was amazing."
Ruogu smiled and motioned for her to sit down, and said calmly: "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Brother Yuan is not a traffic star. It's normal for him to get married and have children. The fans just can't accept it for the time being. It will be fine once they recover."
Ji Xi doesn't think so. If she replaces herself with a woman who has no vision and no aura, her legs will tremble with fear when she stands on the stage, let alone speak. With Brother Yuan's current status and position, only his sister-in-law can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
The admiration in Ji Xi's eyes did not seem fake. She smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is going to have a dinner with the crew later. You must be there with them, so Brother Yuan asked me to bring you a set of formal and low-key clothes to change into. What do you think of this one?"
Ji Xi asked the stylist to show Ruogu a Hepburn-style little black dress. The sleeveless and tight-fitting design could show off Ruogu's beautiful curves. Although Ruogu was not used to such clothes, she did not refuse.
She cooperated with the makeup and styling, and after she was dressed up, Ji Xi praised her highly. When Yu Yuan came over and saw her, his eyes lit up. He held her hand intimately and introduced her to the actors who were attending the dinner as they walked.
Ruogu has a good memory and can remember most of the names mentioned by Yu Yuan. She does not feel uncomfortable.
After the premiere, media critics and audiences had left the venue, and the crew went directly to the top floor.
As soon as the couple showed up, everyone came forward to greet them enthusiastically. Yu Yuan was not only an actor but also a director, so they naturally wanted to make friends with him. After all, actors are passive and only have the right to be chosen.
Ruogu listened to the flattery with a calm expression. She dealt with everyone without being arrogant or impatient. She was friendly, elegant and noble. These actors who have made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry are all shrewd people. It is not easy for Ruogu to receive their praise and recognition.
Han Shuo held the wine glass, baring his big white teeth and laughing. Ji Xi walked up to him and said disdainfully, "Can't you be more reserved? Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will think you're embarrassing?"
Han Shuo said cheerfully, "My sister-in-law is very kind to others. She won't despise me. It's a pity that you didn't come to see it today."
Ji Xi took a sip of champagne, rolled her eyes and said, "I watched the live broadcast, it's not like I didn't see it. My sister-in-law handled it beautifully, and we got through it without any danger. The people behind this should be disappointed."
Han Shuo's smile disappeared when he heard her say this. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Yuan has never offended anyone before. The number of people who can plot against him can be counted on one's fingers. It's not hard to find them."
Ji Xi sneered, "Do we need to look for it? Fu Juan has fallen into depravity and got involved with Zhou Tong. It must be the work of the two of them."
Han Shuo would not talk nonsense about things that were not confirmed. He said seriously:
"I'm having someone check the LP address. Don't tell anyone about it yet. It could be bad if the wrong person is found."
Ji Xi said indifferently: "I will just talk to you in private. Tell me after you find out the truth. You dare to do things behind my back. If you don't teach him a lesson, you will think that our Ruoyuan is easy to bully."
Han Shuo is not a man who is indecisive. He knows the importance of things. "Don't worry. Even if you don't make a move, Brother Yuan will not let the other party go."
It is normal for the strong to prey on the weak in the entertainment industry. If the other party cannot defeat Yu Yuan, then they will have to endure Yu Yuan's wrath.
