My Wife Is a Superstar

Chapter 912 Ill Mannered

Nan Chen had just left a meeting at Nanshi Corporation and was staring at a computer screen with furrowed eyebrows.

All the comments on the screen were cursing at either Ning Ran or Ye Meng

Comparatively, Ning Ran received the most flak, mainly for not knowing who Liyi Danfeng was.

Is this supposed to be a show or a trial? How can the show continue with all this reproach? Nan Chen turned to Jiang Zhe. “Who's Liyi Danfeng? Why is Ning Ran getting admonished for not knowing who she is? Is she famous?”

In response, Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly. “I've no idea who she is as well. I checked the internet about her earlier, and I believe she's a singer who recently got popular after making her debut in a singing contest.”

“She sings well? Is that why so many people are supporting her?” Nan Chen frowned.

“It's the exact opposite. She always sings out of tune, but her dancing's pretty good. Most of her supporters are the younger generation, and only they have the time to keep sending comments. It's not that no one supports Ye Meng or Ms. Ning. It's just that their fans are a lot more rational. Thus, they can't win against Liyi Danfeng's young fans.”

"Well, we can't just let them keep berating Ning Ran! She's going to promote the new movie, but if this keeps up, the movie will flop before it even hits the theaters!”

“The entertainment company has preventive measures for that. However, you keep saying you don't want Ms. Ning to get too popular, so they didn't have the nerve to do anything.”

“By this point, they should! She's about to drown in those haters’ comments! I want them to turn this situation around, no matter what the cost is!”

“Don't worry. They can definitely accomplish that.” Jiang Zhe promptly picked up his phone to call the entertainment company before relaying his boss’ exact order to them.

Meanwhile, Liyi Danfeng, Ye Meng, and Ning Ran discussed what to eat for dinner.

Liyi Danfeng suggested takeouts because it was quick and convenient.

However, Ye Meng disagreed, “You two may be at my house because of the program, but I still need to do my part as the host. How can I treat you both with takeouts? I'll prepare dinner!”

Ning Ran and Danfeng were elated that they didn't need to eat takeouts.

“Sure! It's my honor to be able to enjoy Ms. Ye's cooking.” Ning Ran clapped.

“It isn't fun if I make dinner alone, though. You two need to help me,” proposed Ye Meng.

“We will.” Danfeng and Ning Ran both agreed.

“Let's get started, then! It's been a while since I prepared food at home, so the kitchen's dirty. Help me clean it up first. Meanwhile, I'll head to the supermarket to buy the ingredients.”

"Okay."

The program only focused on indoors. Hence, by going out, Ye Meng could avoid the camera and get a momentary rest.

Most importantly, it allowed her to read the comments on the internet. She was all happy when she saw Ning Ran was scolded to hell and back. Since the netizens are castigating Ning Ran, I'll need to work harder to turn the entire internet against her! Her movie's about to hit the theaters, so if her reputation is tarnished, it'll definitely affect ticket sales, which is precisely what I want!

At the same time, Ning Ran removed the dusty tableware from the cabinet and washed them diligently.

Liyi Danfeng didn't even enter the kitchen because she didn't know how to do chores.

Instead, she sat on the couch, pretending to read a book to maintain her facade as a bookworm. Technically, it was ill-mannered for her to relax while others were busying about.

However, Danfeng's fans didn't think so. One comment read: That crone is suited for hard labor while our dear girl is suited for doing reading!

Another commented: This is the difference between a farmer and a star!

Liyi Danfeng's fans had regarded Ning Ran as a farmer.

Based on their tone, it was evident they looked down on farmers.

However, that comment was successfully blocked by the anti-defamation team Star Entertainment hired.

When Ye Meng returned, she was shocked to see Ning Ran had cleaned the kitchen spotless. Isn't Nan Chen her backer? Why does she still know how to do chores, then? Based on how familiar she is with the chore, I'm confident she cooks often. Is it because the Nan family, doesn't hire housekeepers despite being so wealthy? Or is it that she has no status in the Nan family and is treated as a housekeeper by them?

"Wow, you're great at this. Look at how tidy and clean the kitchen is now. I assume you also know how to cook, then?” She pretended to be impressed.

“I can clean well, but my cooking isn't that great, so I'll let you handle it,” replied Ning Ran humbly. “Sure.” Ye Meng pretended to agree.

Liyi Danfeng, exhausted from pretending to read, went to the kitchen to watch the other two prepare dinner.

Suddenly, Ye Meng ceased her task and said, “Ah, I forgot to buy drinks! I need to head back out again. Can you join me and help me out, Danfeng? It's kind of heavy.”

Liyi Danfeng was already sick of sitting around, so she immediately agreed, “Okay.”

Then they left the house and the live broadcast, leaving the busy Ning Ran alone in the kitchen. After Ning Ran washed the ingredients, she waited for Ye Meng to return and cut them up. Everyone had different cooking styles, which would be reflected in how one prepared the ingredients.

Since Ye Meng was the head chef, Ning Ran wanted to let the former do it.

However, when Ye Meng still hadn't returned after Ning Ran waited a while, the latter decided to proceed with the preparation.

Even after she was done, Ye Meng and Danfeng still hadn't returned.

Ning Ran couldn't help but approach a staff member and ask, “Why haven't they returned yet?” The staff member replied, “We're only responsible for the live broadcast indoors, so we have no idea what's happening outside.”

That answer troubled Ning Ran. Even though Ye Meng was designated as the chef, she still hadn't returned.

It would've been fine for Ning Ran to wait, or Ye Meng might say that she was stealing the spotlight if she were to do the cooking.

However, after waiting for an extended period, Ning Ran was starving. Hence, she decided to just cook.

So, she prepared the dishes she usually would skillfully.

Just as she was done, Ye Meng and Liyi Danfeng returned with drinks.

"Oh, you've prepared the dishes already, Ning Ran? Didn't we agree I'll do the cooking? Also, I was going to prepare that dish in another style. Oh, why did you put chili in it? Danfeng can't eat chili. And that one! Oh god, why did you add ginger to it? Danfeng doesn't eat ginger! This is awful. There's nothing here she can eat!” exclaimed Ye Meng.

Ning Ran was dumbfounded. I've no idea Liyi Danfeng can't eat chili or ginger!

The netizens reprimanded Ning Ran again.

One typed: Is this b*tch trying to starve our precious girl? How evil!

Another remarked: This woman is despicable! She dislikes Danfeng, so she intentionally prepares food Danfeng can't eat when the poor girl isn't around!
