Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

The crew who were shooting with You Congrong were well aware of her temperament. She had argued with the staff during the costume fitting and damaged some props, becoming notoriously difficult to work with within the circle.

Though Tang Wan wasn’t often in contact with them, she was known to have a good nature.

However, You Congrong had crafted a strong public persona, supported by a group of die-hard fans. There was some quiet criticism of her, but it was more sensible to keep it private and avoid an ugly rift.

…

The reporters weren’t fools; seeing her dodge questions without giving them a straight answer, they inevitably frowned.

“Congrong, regarding the copyright infringement issue facing Tang Wan’s studio, has it affected your filming in any way? What’s your take on this matter?”

You Congrong pursed her lips, “I’m not very familiar with the situation, but I believe if Tang Wan is innocent of copyright infringement, she will be given fair treatment.”

“So, you believe Tang Wan is innocent?”

“I believe in the innocence of the innocent.”

You Congrong, faced with the reporters, was an old hand now, never taking sides, and certainly never openly expressing support or belief in anyone!

“So, with such rumors circulating about you and Fifth Master, what do you think Wanwan would think?” The reporter was somewhat helpless, as it seemed that today they were unlikely to get much of anything.

“I’m very sorry for causing trouble for them as a couple, but Teacher Tang is a very reasonable and generous person who will definitely not believe these kinds of rumors circulating online.”

All journalists exchanged looks…

Nobody was a fool, especially some of the female reporters, who felt particularly uncomfortable hearing this.

Rumors had already formed; how could there be no trouble at all? Now you’re acting completely innocent, so if Wanwan gets angry, it seems like it’s because she’s not generous enough?

The interview went on for over ten minutes, and the journalists got almost no useful or sensational information.

You Congrong maintained a smile from beginning to end. She seemed to foresee how Qi Zeyan would present her after today.

“Everyone, we have scenes to shoot later, and Congrong needs to touch up her makeup, so…” The agent walked over, and from start to finish, she was on tenterhooks. Seeing the interview was finally drawing to a close, she took a long breath of relief and prepared to take her away.

The journalists knew that You Congrong wouldn’t spill the beans, but as they saw her about to leave, they couldn’t help but push forward.

“Miss You, give us a little more. Are you and Fifth Master just classmates and friends, or is there another kind of relationship?”

“Say a bit more, please. What are your private relationships with Fifth Master or Teacher Tang like?”

“You just said that you are friends with both parties; have you had any private communication after the incident occurred?”

…

“Sorry, we have shooting to do and can’t entertain more interviews today, maybe another time,” the agent and the crew members said, guarding her as they prepared to leave.

Just then, a gentle female voice suddenly came from one side.

“Miss You, why the rush to leave?”

The crew knew that this interview was specially arranged by Qi Zeyan for You Congrong, and other female celebrities in the crew had carefully avoided it. Suddenly hearing someone speak, everyone turned their gaze in unison.

She was dressed in a soft white dress with a coffee-colored sweater coat over it, and even her hair was loosely tied, looking lackadaisical. Despite the mountain wind being dry and slightly cold, she appeared delicate and graceful.

There was an exclamation from the crowd, “Tang Wan? Am I seeing things right? How dare she come here?”

“This lady from a prominent family really is different; her whole aura is amazing.”

“She’s indeed got guts.”

…

Tang Wan’s demeanour was languid, and while there was no sharp edge to be seen on her, her presence was impressive, as if even her walking posture had been refined and polished to be pleasing to the eye.

With people surrounding her, journalists wanted to rush over but didn’t dare to. They could not afford to bump into her, causing a stir.

The previously chaotic crowd of journalists parted like the Red Sea, creating an aisle through which Tang Wan, much to You Congrong’s disbelief, approached.

You Congrong’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Tang Wan; how dare she come here?

These were all journalists!
