Sweetest Top Actress in My Home

Everyone was stunned as soon as they heard Lin Kaiyan’s words. The atmosphere was very awkward at this time even though only the guest participants and the students form the support team could hear what Lin Kaiyan had just said.

Lin Kaiyan was the winner of the best actor award and also the title of the film emperor under the Golden Shadow Awards for two consecutive years in the past. Since he was already a veteran in the entertainment industry, he should have better emotional management and he should not have lost his temper in that way.

Moreover, he was also a man and a senior in the entertainment circle. Nobody could believe that Lin Kaiyan would actually leave all of his gentlemanly manners behind in an effort to voice out all the unpleasantness and disgust that he felt towards Jiang Yuning.

This was beyond the expectations of the production team.

“I know that many of the popular artistes have a feeling that they can do whatever they want just because they have people supporting them. However, I hope that you will not cause all of us so much trouble. If you really have no intention of recording the program in a serious manner, then please do not waste everyone’s time.”

If Lin Kaiyan had only mentioned the first sentence, then the host would definitely have a way to turn things around and alleviate the awkward and tense situation. However, Lin Kaiyan continued with another sentence following his first attack.

It was precisely because of the latter part of his sentence that the temperature in the studio suddenly felt as though it had dropped below the freezing point.

The other two guests were also placed in an extremely awkward position. They sat down quietly as they looked at Jiang Yuning with a worried expression on their faces.

At this time, the audience could only vaguely feel that there had been some unpleasant dispute up the front of the stage as they could not hear what was happening earlier.

At this time, Jiang Yuning made an X gesture at Teacher Xiaoxiao before she asked, “Teacher Xiaoxiao, can we please stop recording for ten minutes?”

“Sure.” Teacher Xiaoxiao immeidately signalled for the production crew to stop the cameras from rolling as soon as he got Jiang Yuning’s message.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuning stood up before she approached Lin Kaiyan and bowed slightly to indicate her respect for her senior. After that, Jiang Yuning asked him directly, “Teacher Lin, could you tell me what I did to give you the impression that I am not taking things seriously and that I am only doing whatever I want to do?”

“When? Weren’t you being lazy and not taking things seriously throughout the entire filming process? You knew the right answer but you pretended not to know the answer at all. What are you trying to prove? Are you trying to show off?” Lin Kaiyan replied as he adjusted his sitting posture, which made him looked even meaner and more indifferent.

“I am not trying to show off. I only pretended not to know the answer because I am trying to take the feelings of the other guests, especially yours, into consideration. If I had answered the questions correctly on both attempts and corrected your mistakes twice, how would you interpret it, then? You would think that I am just a popular artiste who has no respect for my seniors and that I am trying to show off by trampling all over you. Wouldn’t that be the case too?”

“Teacher Lin, you were also a newcomer in the past. I believe that you would have also have experienced your fair share of ups and downs. Therefore, I really don’t understand why you are so intolerant and impatient towards the younger generation. Even if you dislike me and hold a personal grudge against me, I hope that you will not show it on the program. Since you have already agreed to participate in the program, you should respect the other guests and the production team and crew.”

“It is really embarrassing for you to accuse me and lose your temper at me in front of so many people just because you dislike me.”

At this time, Jiang Yuning had a very serious expression on her face. She was not humble or kind and she was no longer trying to hold back in an attempt to please Lin Kaiyan.

Li Meng had really wanted to compliment Jiang Yuning after listening to her words.

“Moreover, Teacher Lin, I want you to know that it does not mean I am afraid of you just because I am tolerant and patient. I am holding back simply because I respect you as my senior, but this does not mean that I will allow you to bully me or to trample all over me.”

“If you want to continue recording this program, then we can both just move on and pretend that nothing happened. However if you want to continue causing trouble and picking a fight with me, then I’m sorry but I have a temper too.”

The two guests who were seated at the guest table were dying to praise Jiang Yuning as soon as they heard her speech.

This young girl was really exactly as the rumors had painted her out to be.

She was brave and courageous.

In fact, what happened earlier was a very trivial matter. It was also common knowledge among each and every guest to take each other’s feelings into consideration during the filming process. This was just so that the recording could run smoothly without hurting anyone’s feelings or making anyone seem less important in the cast. However, everyone could tell that Lin Kaiyan had already targeted Jiang Yuning from the very beginning. It was obvious that Lin Kaiyan was very unwilling to have any contact or communication with Jiang Yuning at all.

Moreover, Lin Kaiyan was the one who had declined and refused to take on the role of the first male lead in the upcoming drama <Yan Huasu simply because Jiang Yuning was going to be the first female lead in the drama.

Instead, Lin Kaiyan was acting as though Jiang Yuning was disrespecting him now.

Therefore, everyone refused to stand on Lin Kaiyan’s side.

Furthermore, the only reason why Lin Kaiyan agreed to participate in <Secret of the Nation was simply because he wanted to secure his place in the entertainment industry. How could that be considered a noble move?

At this time, Lin Kaiyan did not know how to refute Jiang Yuning’s words at all.

Therefore, when Jiang Yuning saw that Lin Kaiyan did not have anything else to say, she calmed down a little before she turned around and told the host, “Teacher Xiaoxiao, we are ready to resume filming.”

After that, Jiang Yuning returned to her seat and acted as though nothing had happened at all.

Li Meng and Brother Lu finally heaved a huge sigh of relief.

This was because they felt as though their hearts were about to jump out of their mouth when Jiang Yuning was standing in front of Lin Kaiyan earlier.

Jiang Yuning was a really courageous girl. They were so afraid that Jiang Yuning would really react or do something shocking if Lin Kaiyan had continued to challenge her on the spot.

It was rare for a twenty-four-year-old girl to have such a powerful aura.

This was…really shocking indeed!

“Let’s continue filming then,” Teacher Xiaoxiao replied as he immediately signalled for the production crew to start filming again. After all the production crew were in place, Teacher Xiaoxiao started to speak again, “In fact, it is not surprising at all that most of you do not know the fifth word. This is because it is indeed a very ambiguous word. Therefore, let’s invite the expert team to give us the right answer as they explain the character to us.”

The expert team immediately stepped out to explain the fifth character as soon as they received the cue from Teacher Xiaoxiao. “The fifth character actually means the word ‘punishment’. In the Shang Dynasty, this word also refers to the common fire sacrifice.”

The few guests had already resumed to their filming roles after a short while. This was especially so for Li Meng and Brother Lu who suddenly had an enlightened expression on their faces as they listened to the expert’s explanation.

After the small episode earlier, everyone knew that Jiang Yuning knew the meaning of the character and what it stood for.

The only reason why she pretended not to know the character was simply because she was trying to save Lin Kaiyan’s face.

However, Lin Kaiyan did not appreciate her gesture and both of them even engaged in a heated argument.

Although no one else could hear the argument between Jiang Yuning and Lin Kaiyan aside from the guests, everyone could tell that Jiang Yuning was angry because of the serious expression on her face. It was totally different from the soft and gentle aura that she had earlier.

Moreover, Lin Kaiyan had an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face.

At this time, Lin Kaiyan was trying hard to understand how he could lose to a twenty-four-year-old girl!

What the heck?

At this time, the host continued speaking. “We are going to increase the difficulty level at this time. Let’s have the props team bring out the third set of props for us.”

When the third set of props came out, everyone realized that there were five kind of totems placed in front of them.

“The next question is, which one of this totems belongs to the Shang Dynasty?”

Everyone turned around and placed their eyes on Jiang Yuning at this time.

When the host saw what was happening, he smiled before he said, “Yuning, I guess its time to put your brain waves to work and tell us your answer now.”

This time, Jiang Yuning smiled politely before she replied in a confident manner, “I choose the third option, the black bird.”
