The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 48

"Yi Yi?"

"Mm!"

Jing Yi quickly turned off her phone and smiled at the person on the stairs, looking as if nothing was amiss.

But Jing Zeqian still keenly noticed her action, a flash of concern crossing his eyes.

Jing Zejun moved closer to Jing Yi's side.

Jing Yi smiled and said, "How's it going? Did you resolve everything?"

"Since you already know, why pretend nothing happened?"

Jing Zeqian's voice suddenly rang out, surprising Jing Zejun.

Jing Yi paused slightly, lowering her gaze, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.

Jing Zejun hurriedly asked, "Yi Yi, did you see the comments?"

"I saw some."

Her voice sounded devoid of any sadness, more like she was discussing someone else's affairs.

"Don't be upset, those people..."

Being in the entertainment industry, Jing Zejun knew better than anyone the level of harm words could inflict.

Jing Yi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of resignation flashing in her eyes.

"I'm not upset about those nasty things they said."

[Who cares what they say, it's not like it'll decrease my bank balance anyway.]

Jing Zeqian sat opposite Jing Yi, raising an eyebrow, "So what did you see in the comments?"

He didn't doubt the truthfulness of Jing Yi's words, after all, it was very much like her style.

Jing Yi let out a soft sigh, "I saw them mentioning Grandma." Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing the deceased Grandma Jing.

A flash of anger surged in Jing Zeqian's eyes, but he still tried to keep his tone calm, "Give me your phone."

Jing Yi glanced at him and unlocked her phone. On the screen were comments discussing Grandma Jing, most of the words far from friendly.

These comments completely ignited Jing Zeqian's anger.

Whether Grandma Jing was right or wrong, even Jing Beicheng had no right to say, who were these busybodies to meddle!

He immediately called Jing Zeyou, walking to the courtyard, speaking seriously about something.

Jing Yi sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the coffee table in front of her.

It was just a morning's incident, how did it drag out so many issues? She couldn't understand why people who had already passed away were still being dragged out for commentary.

Jing Zejun looked at Jing Yi, her eyes full of worry. She knew better than anyone what Grandma Jing meant to Jing Yi.

"Don't worry, Second Brother and the others will handle it."

Jing Yi took a deep breath and nodded, "Mm." That's all that could be done now.

Seeing that Jing Zeqian had gone to resolve the issue, Jing Yi didn't dwell on it anymore. It was best to leave things to those capable of handling them, while she stayed put.

"Want some pudding?"

"Huh?"

Jing Zejun wore a surprised and confused expression. One second she was thinking about how to console Jing Yi, the next this person wanted to eat pudding?

Seeing Jing Zejun pondering something, Jing Yi added, "Aunt Wang just made it, it'll get cold if we don't eat it."

Since when did Aunt Wang make warm pudding?

However, seeing that Jing Yi seemed completely fine now, Jing Zejun felt much more at ease.

"Yes!"

And so Jing Yi led the way to the dining room to enjoy the freshly made pudding.

After hanging up the phone, Jing Zeqian found the living room empty. Looking towards the dining room, he saw the two already seated and starting on dessert.

He curled his lips into a smile and strode over, "What are you eating? Get me some too."

At the same time, Hengjing and Startrack simultaneously issued several legal notices, warning against malicious comments about Grandma Jing and Jing Yi, which finally calmed down the excited netizens a bit.

This was Hengjing and Startrack after all, if those legal notices were delivered, it wouldn't be just some minor celebrity squabble anymore.

"Sister Miaomiao, Mr. Wang's side has withdrawn the water army. They said if they didn't, the Jing family would soon trace it back to you."

The assistant leaned close to Jiang Miaomiao, quietly relaying the message.

Her expression showed some impatience as she opened her eyes to look at the assistant. The ferocity in her gaze made the assistant involuntarily shrink back.

The assistant lowered her head, avoiding Jiang Miaomiao's gaze, afraid to make eye contact.

"I see," Jiang Miaomiao's voice carried strong displeasure.

Ever since learning that the Jing family would announce Jing Zejun's identity, Jiang Miaomiao had instructed her assistant to arrange for their water army to be ready. She knew the waters would be muddy, and if not, she would come to stir them up herself.

But before they could fully direct the public opinion towards Jing Yi, Jing Zeqian had quickly discovered it, and even Jing Zeyou was close to tracing it back to her.

What else could she do but withdraw? If Jing Zeqian noticed her unusual behavior now, all the chess moves she had made recently would be for naught.

Jing Yi, you got lucky this time!

"Miaomiao! Everyone's finished rehearsing, do you want to take a look at the activity route for later?"

Hearing the newcomer's voice, she immediately put on a kind smile and agreed amiably.

After the person left, Jiang Miaomiao's voice lowered, "Tell them I'm not feeling well and can't record for too long. Keep a close eye on the editing after it's over."

"Understood, Sister Miaomiao!"

She supported Jiang Miaomiao as they walked towards the center of the stage.

......

"Variety show? Sister Qing, I remember telling you on the first day that I don't really want to appear too much on variety shows. I'd rather focus more on scripts and improving my acting skills."

Jing Zejun was on the balcony, taking a call from her manager.

The other end said something, and Jing Zejun's brow relaxed a bit.

"A family variety show?"

How long had it been since this incident occurred, and variety shows were already knocking on their door?

The Jing family's popularity had been soaring these past two days, and variety show directors immediately contacted Jing Zejun's manager, speaking earnestly and even willing to meet all of Jing Zejun's requirements if possible.

The manager considered that there had been too much public opinion surrounding the Jing family recently. While Hengjing and the Jing family might be able to intimidate some, both she and Jing Zejun were in the entertainment industry and preferred to achieve a win-win situation through industry methods.

Moreover, the other party was a renowned director from Fruit TV, responsible for many hit variety shows in recent years. The manager felt that participating in this show was a sure win.

Jing Zejun could use this variety show to openly showcase her family members, which would be a good way to address public opinion. Of course, the manager hoped even more that Jing Zejun could increase her popularity through this show.

Jing Zejun hesitated for a moment, listening to her manager's persuasion. She couldn't deny feeling somewhat tempted. If they could change the current online attacks against Jing Yi through the variety show, that would be ideal.

However, Jing Zejun always felt that variety shows were a double-edged sword. If not handled well, they could easily backfire.

Initially, she wasn't solely focused on acting either and had participated in a few variety shows, but the results weren't very good. Plus, her personality really wasn't suited for variety shows...

Jing Zejun felt a bit troubled, "How about this, Sister Qing, let me discuss it with my family and get back to you."

After all, it was a family variety show, so it was best to ask for her older brother's and the others' opinions.
