One night, a piece of news began to spread wantonly on the internet without a sound. It spread at an extremely fast pace, like wild grass growing rampantly:
[Jiang Li secretly went to a gynecological hospital. Her pregnancy test is suspected to be exposed!]
There were clearly photos of Jiang Li fully armed. Although her face was tightly covered and she was wearing loose sportswear, her aura still made it recognizable that it was her.
She was highly recognizable. Even when shuttling through the crowd, it was hard for her to hide.
[Isn't Jiang Li filming? How does she still have time to get pregnant?]
[It may not necessarily be pregnancy. Maybe it's a gynecological disease. It's not uncommon for female entertainers in the circle to play themselves into illness, right?]
[Come on, she's already a proven bad - behaving artist. This movie probably won't be released.]
[Is Jiang Entertainment just sitting idle? Why hasn't the clarification statement been released yet!]
...
In the hotel suite.
Ms. Chen, who had been busy helping Jiang Li sort out the contract - termination procedures and other work, rushed to the hotel for the first time and scolded Xiao Ye mercilessly.
"You're not a newbie anymore. Didn't you know to take confidentiality measures before going to the hospital?"
Ms. Chen was so angry that her voice was harsh. "Do you know what time it is now? How could you be so careless!"
Xiao Ye shrank her head. Her eyes were red from being scolded, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Jiang Li walked over and spoke up for her. "Ms. Chen, don't blame Xiao Ye. I asked her to make an appointment with the doctor. Besides, she did everything she should have at that time. It's just that the paparazzi were too hard to shake off."
This was the truth.
Jiang Li still smiled to ease the atmosphere and sighed helplessly. "Xiao Ye specially had the car drive around on a long - way route several times. They shouldn't have given those people a chance."
Hearing this, most of Ms. Chen's anger subsided. She was also puzzled in her heart. "You've been filming here in a low - key manner. The media shouldn't have been able to find out. Who on earth leaked the news?"
Jiang Li knew exactly. "Most likely an enemy."
Jiang Li had been popular for as many years as she had been in the entertainment industry.
The more popular a person is, the more troubles they have. Naturally, she had offended quite a few people one after another during this period, but Jiang Entertainment had always suppressed things for her before.
This time, the situation was menacing, obviously because the company had done nothing.
As long as Jiang Entertainment wanted to suppress it, there was no negative news they couldn't suppress.
Ms. Chen, of course, also thought of this.
Jiang Li shrugged helplessly and said in a very calm tone, "We're about to terminate the contract. Naturally, the company has no obligation to protect my reputation."
It was indeed something Xiao Yanzhi would do to stand by and watch something that was of no value.
She was going to experience the feeling of being isolated and helpless first.
"It's okay. This time it's relatively easy to handle."
Sure enough, as a top - notch agent, Ms. Chen had already calmly thought of a solution at this moment. "Anyway, you're not really pregnant. Just release the examination results."
"Ask the marketing team to play the victim card and say that you've been filming non - stop and are too tired, which has led to an irregular body routine. That's why you went to the hospital for a check - up. This can also gain some favor from the audience."
This was indeed the best solution.
Jiang Li smiled silently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
She just quietly watched Ms. Chen busily arrange all the work. Then she asked in a normal tone, "Ms. Chen, when will this kind of life end?"
Ms. Chen's hand holding the phone paused, and she looked into Jiang Li's eyes.
"Lili..." Ms. Chen looked into her smiling eyes but couldn't see a trace of real smile in them. Her heart tightened immediately. "You know, I'm doing this for your own good."
"Ms. Chen, don't be nervous. I know all this."
Jiang Li nodded and said to herself, "In order to protect my reputation, I have to expose my privacy. Even my examination report has to be made public in detail in front of the public."
She sat on the sofa and subconsciously raised her face. Her tone was still gentle. "How much longer do I have to live a life like this, completely exposed in front of the public?"
She felt that she at this moment was not like a person but more like a lifeless doll at the mercy of others.
If she didn't think about it, it would be okay. But once she did, she felt suffocated, and it became extremely difficult for her to breathe.
She had worked hard for four years and put a lot of effort into acting. Acting was her career. She hoped to become a capable actress and get rid of the label of a "beautiful vase".
But in the end, she was only regarded as a fake - reserved person.
It was like being magnified hundreds of times under the spotlight. Even the slightest flaw would be criticized.
She was afraid of the capital above and the public opinion below. It was only natural to get tired of such a life after a long time.
Ms. Chen understood in her heart. She sighed, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and seemed to be comforting her. "Silly girl, nine times out of ten things in this world won't go as you wish. If you want to be happy, just live in a muddle - headed way."
If you figure out everything in this world, there will really be no hope at all.
It would take time to release the clarification press release and contact the major fans to help repost it. Jiang Li couldn't just sit there waiting for the scandal to pass. The director had already called to urge her.
She still had a scene to shoot today. She got up and got into the nanny car, ready to go to the shooting location.
As soon as she got in the car, she closed her eyes and rested. She never picked up her phone from beginning to end.
She didn't need to look to know that there must be a barrage of scolding on the internet. She didn't need to upset herself and affect her filming state.
The car was driving very steadily. At a narrow corner, the driver suddenly stepped on the brake, which made Jiang Li tense up all over. She thought there had been a car accident and suddenly opened her eyes -
It turned out that there was a silver - topped Maybach blocking in front of their car. It was parked steadily in front, with the hazard lights on, looking extremely arrogant.
Without looking at the license plate number, one could guess whose style this was.
The driver held the steering wheel with a complicated expression. "Miss Jiang, what do you think..."
"I'll go down and take a look."
Jiang Li opened the car door. As soon as her toes touched the ground, the man in the Maybach in front had already walked over quickly and caught her wrist at lightning speed.
This menacing and extremely compelling aura could only belong to Xiao Yanzhi.
"Come with me." Xiao Yanzhi's face was gloomy, and his tone was extremely cold. He endured and endured before squeezing out a sentence through his teeth. "I have something to ask you."
Before she could even struggle or defend herself, she was half - pushed and half - forced into the silver - topped Maybach.
Before they were discovered by the paparazzi and the media, Xue An immediately pulled up the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator. The car immediately sped out of the alley.
The whole process was smooth and natural, and no one noticed anything strange.
The air pressure in the car was very low, but it was also extremely quiet. No one spoke first.
Jiang Li hugged her arms and said in a normal tone, "Mr. Xiao, I still have to film later. Please ask your questions as soon as possible."
