Chapter 141: You…Are You in a Relationship?
“Frankly speaking, I do not have any sort of relationship with Chairman Gu. Chairman Gu is only taking care and looking out for me as a special favor that someone has asked for,” Jiang Yuning explained immediately. “Vera, I believe that this is not what you are really interested to find out. You have singled me out and targeted me right from the start. The first thing that you had done as soon as you arrived in Guangying Media was to request to manage me personally. Moreover, I have caught you trying to hide your true emotions several times already. Are you somehow related to the Jiang family in the past? Is that why you are here?”

“You would have to ask your dear brother that question, then,” Vera replied coldly. “Even though the Jiang family went bankrupt five years ago, you should not have dragged your brother down with you. Do you know how hurt and depressed my best friend was?”

“My brother?” Jiang Yuning repeated after Vera, as though she suddenly realized something important. “So, the reason you hate me is because of my brother?”

“Five years ago, when your brother, Jiang Muyang, was still studying abroad, he was in a relationship with my best friend. However, after the Jiang family faced bankruptcy proceedings, Jiang Muyang abandoned his girlfriend and returned to China without any hesitation at all. Throughout the past five years, he had never once contacted my best friend, nor have we heard any news about him at all. My best friend was so depressed that she even tried committing suicide a couple of times. Fortunately, I managed to stop her. This is all your brother’s fault!”

“I…I have never spoken about such personal and emotional things with my brother. He had never mentioned anything about having a girlfriend. However, my brother is not that kind of person. He does not like to owe anyone anything,” Jiang Yuning replied as she eyed Vera suspiciously. “When the Jiang family went bankrupt five years ago, my grandfather fell ill immediately because he was unable to accept the situation. I had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry at such a young age to make ends meet and earn enough money to support my grandfather and myself. I had never thought of dragging my brother into this mess. I only realized that he had returned to China after quite some time. For the past five years, my brother and I could only depend on one another as we had no one else. Things have only started to turn around for both of us in the past two months.”

When Jiang Yuning had found out that Jiang Muyang had already returned to China, he was already a big name in the entertainment industry.

“You…you did not stop your brother from going abroad? You did not force him to stay in China for your sake?” Vera asked contemptuously.

For the past five years, Vera and Yin Qingyu had always believed that the reason why Jiang Muyang had never gone back to look for his girlfriend was because Jiang Yuning had refused to let him go.

They believed that Jiang Yuning wanted Jiang Muyang to stay by her side to help her deal with the matters relating to the Jiang family’s bankruptcy because she did not want to suffer alone.

“Why would I want to drag him down with me?” Jiang Yuning asked as she stared at Vera in disbelief. “I do not know how much you know about Jiang Muyang, but you have totally misunderstood whatever is going on between my brother and I. My father had given him everything that he had, and my father had looked after my brother ever since he was young. I believe this to be the reason my brother has always remembered his kindness and thus, his reason for coming back to China to protect me. I do not really pry into my brother’s personal affairs and do not even know that he had a girlfriend when he was studying abroad.”

“Therefore, Vera, if this is the reason why you hate me, it would be really unfair to me.”

Vera remained silent after listening to what Jiang Yuning had to say.
