Chen Jingshu did not dare to smile or laugh from the beginning to the end and she kept pinching her own arm until it turned red just so that she could hold back her laughter.
Second Brother really knew exactly how to deal with their grandfather.
...
On the other hand, the live television broadcast for the Spring Lantern Festival was proceeding in an orderly manner at the television station.
Since Jiang Yuning and Nan Yan could not come to an agreement, their programs were also completely broken up into two separate performances.
“Sister Yuning, it’s almost time for you to come and get ready to go on stage,” the backstage crew urged Jiang Yuning.
At this time, Jiang Yuning was wearing a white tulle dress and her hair was tied up in a Korean-style braid. She was wearing a pair of star-shaped diamond earrings and she looked really dazzling in person despite the simple outfit.
“Good luck!” Vera cheered for Jiang Yuning.
Vera believed that Jiang Yuning would definitely be able to do well during her singing debut tonight.
“Don’t worry,” Jiang Yuning assured Vera as she followed the production crew backstage to get ready to make her entrance.
At this time, many fans who had not spent time watching such television broadcasts were all camped in front of their television to watch Jiang Yuning’s performance.
When Jiang Yuning finally appeared on the smoke stage with a microphone in her hand, the Ginger Candies almost went crazy with excitement!
[Oh my god! Sister Yuning’s face is really too beautiful! I feel like crying because this is so unbelievable.]
[I think I am going to die from a heart attack soon.]
[I don’t care anymore. I am going to get Jiang Yuning to sleep with me tonight! This woman is playing around with my heart and making me feel faint all the time!]
[I would never have expected Jiang Yuning to be able to sing so well when she is already so beautiful. She can even sing <Coming Wind>, the ending theme song of <Mysteries of Heaven>, so well. Ahh...I am suddenly reminded of Lin Ping’er. Sob sob...]
[I have no doubts that Jiang Yuning used to study music!]
[Holding Hearts! Holding Hearts! Sing Holding Hearts!]
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s live performance of ‘Coming Wind’, the host really asked Jiang Yuning to remain on stage to continue singing ‘Holding Hearts’ for the audience.
[Sob. I have already been Jiang Yuning’s fan for so long and tonight, I am really very pleased and captivated by her performance. Oh my. I believe all the Ginger Candies are as happy as I am.]
[Our Sister Yuning is literally glowing on stage! Sigh. I cannot bring myself to call her Empress Jiang anymore when she is clearly a fairy!]
The audience were still in awe after Jiang Yuning finished singing the two songs. They could not believe that Jiang Yuning could sing so beautifully even though she has not been involved in music for so many years.
She was really a singer at heart.
If she did not go into acting but debuted as a singer instead, Jiang Yuning would definitely have had a much easier career path.
At this point, Jiang Yuning was also greatly satisfied to have been able to perform and sing two songs for the audience without taking a break.
Jiang Yuning really enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped and admired by the crowd of audience. After all, no matter what it was, she was still a highly sought-after artiste.
The situation was not so good for Nan Yan on the other hand. This was because her singing skills were very basic and general. Initially, Jiang Yuning was supposed to guide and lead Nan Yan on stage so that she could actually shine alongside Jiang Yuning, but Nan Yan had lost the golden opportunity to shine because her arrogance had gotten the better of her. After Nan Yan was done singing her first song, the response from the audience was mediocre and only a few members of the audience actually bothered to applaud for her.
Nan Yan was very angry and annoyed when she stepped off stage and she went back to the dressing room that she shared with Jiang Yuning earlier because her clothes were still inside. Moreover, she had intended to pick a fight with Jiang Yuning again. However, when Nan Yan entered the dressing room, she realized that both Jiang Yuning and Vera had already packed their belongings and left before her.
A short while later, a loud scream was heard from the dressing room...
One of the production crew rushed into the dressing room immediately after he heard the screaming. At this time, he saw Nan Yan’s assistant holding onto Nan Yan’s foot because Nan Yan had stepped on an iron nail and it was stuck to the sole of her foot. She was bleeding profusely and the blood continued flowing...
“Pain...it hurts. It really hurts...”
The production crew member was so shocked at the scene that he was witnessing and he went pale immediately. After regaining his senses, he quickly called for an ambulance.
At this time, Nan Yan was holding on tightly to her assistant’s clothes and she kept urging her assistant to call her brother on her behalf, “Jiang Yuning did this. It must be Jiang Yuning! This is the dressing room that I am sharing with Jiang Yuning. No one else was in this room!”
“Okay, Nan Yan. I heard you. I promise that I will definitely call the chairman as soon as I can, but let’s go to the hospital to get you treated first...”
...
At this time, Jiang Yuning and Vera had just seen Second Young Master Lu’s black car parked close to the television station.
“I will drive the car back on my own. I will not disturb both of you any longer,” Vera said as she waved her hand at Jiang Yuning. The both of them were totally unaware of the situation that had just transpired at the backstage of the television station.
Jiang Yuning closed the car door before she waved goodbye at Vera.
This was a really rare occasion. Second Brother had actually personally driven today. In order to avoid being photographed or tailed by the paparazzi, Jiang Yuning signalled for Lu Jingzhi to drive off immediately.
“Second Brother, why are you here so early to wait for me?”
“I am acting under a command,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he raised his brow at her.
“Ah? Who gave you the command?”
Lu Jingzhi smiled at Jiang Yuning but he did not reply to her question. He started driving and just as they were about to turn into the Lu family mansion, Lu Jingzhi parked the car by the side of the road before he turned around and held Jiang Yuning in his arms before he started kissing her on the lips.
“Second Brother...what is going on?” Jiang Yuning asked Lu Jingzhi in a curious manner as she wiped off the lipstick that was smudged on her face.
“During dinner earlier, Third Uncle asked me if there is anyone that I liked and I said yes.”
Jiang Yuning’s heart started beating uncontrollably at this time. Did he...
“After that, Grandpa asked me about the woman’s identity and I said...that she is already married. After I said that, Grandpa urged me to come out and pick you up immediately. He also wants me to develop a good relationship with you so that we can start dating officially.”
“What?” Jiang Yuning was pleasantly surprised and she widened her eyes and smiled when she heard Lu Jingzhi’s explanation. “Don’t tell me that Grandpa was afraid that you would get involved in someone else’s marriage?”
“Nine times out of ten, yes.”
“Second Brother, why are you so treacherous? Is it really okay for you to scare Grandpa so much?”
“So, I get to be with you officially now and we do not need to hide in front of my family anymore...”
After listening to Lu Jingzhi, Jiang Yuning sat up straight before she hugged Lu Jingzhi and said, “Second Brother, how are you so smart?”
“You can sleep over at the Lu family mansion tonight. I would also like to know how it feels like to be matchmade by the elders in the family.”
Jiang Yuning could still vividly remember what it felt like when Grandpa had matchmade and decided on her engagement to Lu Zongye in the past.
Lu Jingzhi was really very sharp-minded and he was still taking it to heart.
However, Jiang Yuning could not deny that a jealous Lu Jingzhi was the cutest Lu Jingzhi to her.
Very soon, the black car drove into the Lu family mansion. Jiang Yuning did not expect to return to this place so soon.
At this time, Jiang Yuning thought to herself that she should pretend that she had a crush on Lu Jingzhi in front of the elders later.
Moreover, Lu Jingzhi had a cold expression on his face as usual.
Jiang Yuning felt that this was going to be very fun indeed.
“Miss Jiang, you are finally here,” the butler quickly opened the car door for Jiang Yuning as soon as they arrived in front of the door.
“Sorry to trouble you, Butler.”
“It is no trouble at all.”
Jiang Yuning turned around to look at Lu Jingzhi, who had just entered through the front door.
After entering the door, Jiang Yuning saw Chen Jingshu smiling at her and both of them winked at one another as they shared a secret.
“Young girl, you are her,” Grandpa Lu said as he felt a little calmer and less anxious after seeing Jiang Yuning entering the house. Fortunately, Lu Jingzhi and Jiang Yuning were childhood friends that grew up together. Grandpa Lu knew that if he tried to matchmake Lu Jingzhi with anyone else, Lu Jingzhi would not have bothered to act on his command at all.
Why did this little brat have to fall in love with a married woman?
1Sigh.
This was injustice.
When Grandpa Lu thought about this, he suddenly felt a little more enthusiastic about Jiang Yuning.
