A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Film Festival!

Despite Mu Yan’s fans not believing Jiang Jingheng is her boyfriend, the comments were not malicious, mostly joking that she likes handsome guys like them.

But the haters don’t think so. If someone wants to smear you, they can write thousands of words while you’re just drinking water.

"Is this woman desperate for hype? Daring to ride the coattails of Boss Jiang’s fame."

"Isn’t it just that she’s flaunting knowing wealthy people through her agent’s connections? Did she think about her man’s feelings when posting those photos? No, probably she’s already hooked up with him."

"Don’t talk nonsense upstairs. Who is Boss Jiang anyway? Would he fancy a minor celebrity? His wife is a wealthy heiress."

"The wife’s high status is actually for show; the wildflowers outside are for picking. I heard from my friend that he saw Mu Yan going out with a man suspected to be Jiang Jingheng. Actually, Mu Yan repeatedly withdrawing from trending searches this past year has been traceable."

"What you said upstairs sounds real; show me the evidence and I’ll believe you."

...

Haters are in the minority, and with Song Cheng’an’s public relations skills, it was dealt with quickly.

Mu Yan couldn’t be bothered with these people who vent frustrations online; what’s wrong with leveraging Jiang Jingheng’s fame or hooking up with him? She’d be happy to annoy them.

Though she doesn’t mind, Jiang Jingheng thinks differently, having sued several malicious gossiping marketing accounts, and even treated them to tea.

Of course, he’s also preparing to go public with the news.

If he wants to go public, it should be in the most high-profile, surprising way.

Now her Weibo followers exceed 40 million. Back when she first debuted, she envied Lin Jiamu and Li Yushen. Who would’ve thought that in just two years, she’d reach their level? But she still needs a trophy.

In May, the Cannes Film Festival is here, and Chen Zhou, a regular at the three major film festivals, along with "The Best Time" crew, has been invited.

Not only has "The Best Time" been nominated for Best Picture, but surprisingly, Mu Yan has also been nominated for Best Actress.

She has been in the industry for just over two years, and even if she doesn’t win, just being nominated is commendable.

Earlier, Li Yushen won a Best Actor award at the festival. As a Grand Slam Best Actor, he’s been invited as a judge, which alone shows his significant influence in international film festivals.

The crew arrived in France Cannes in the evening, and the next day was a pre-film festival cocktail party that Mu Yan was invited to.

She had never attended such a big film festival or seen so many international big shots, so she stayed alongside Chen Zhou the whole time.

Given Chen Zhou’s high reputation, many people came to chat with him, expressing that his work this time is remarkable. Quite a few recognized Mu Yan and called her the beautiful Oriental lady.

Luckily, Mu Yan prepared beforehand, so she responded fluently without having wasted her efforts boning up on English before coming.

Chen Zhou had other matters to attend to, so he left first, and Li Yushen was pulled aside by an international director to discuss collaboration.

After chatting with people, Mu Yan looked at everyone talking softly in the banquet hall, exhaling lightly. She was so nervous her palms were sweating.

Just then, a handsome guy came over to chat her up, appearing two years older than her brother, with light green eyes, fair skin, and a clean, handsome face that made him quite attractive—but not to Mu Yan.
