Chapter 196: And Then? Do You Want to Replace Her?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The production team were at a loss and they were placed in a tight spot. They had never expected such a situation. Who would have known that one of the experts, who had high academic qualifications, would actually try to win a mission by focusing on a loophole in the rules and regulations?

“When I fell into the river in the middle of the night, you turned a blind eye on me. It was Sister Yuning who helped me and she even made a bonfire just so I could dry my clothes. When I came down with a high fever because I caught a cold from falling into the river, you slandered and insulted me and Sister Yuning. You knew very well that Sister Yuning was the one who had helped me and saved my life by getting me the necessary medication that I needed, but now that their group has been placed first, you are trying to take first place too through such despicable means. Are you really an educated person?”

“Dear production team, if you make a concession and allow Xu Beishen to take first place this time, I will withdraw and quit the mission so that our entire group will be forfeited immediately. Otherwise, this would be really unfair to group one.”

After listening to Jin Mingchen’s words, the entire production team was amazed. Although this young boy was rather annoying and difficult to deal with, he turned out to be a very loyal and righteous person.

The production team then looked at Xu Beishen, who no longer had anything to say.

“Alright then. Since this is the case, we will maintain the status quo. Thank you everyone for your hard work.”

Jiang Yuning could not help but smile at Jin Mingchen as soon as the production team announced the final results of the competition.

Although Jin Mingchen was a scaredy cat and he could be very troublesome at times, he was a very loyal and trustworthy person, and this made him rather adorable and likable instead. He could have easily supported Xu Beishen and try to fight to win the first place, but he did not want to obtain credit without working hard for it.

“Trust me, you will definitely have a more difficult time ahead of you,” Jiang Yuning said as she patted Jin Mingchen lightly on his shoulder.

“Wasn’t I super handsome and cool earlier?”

“You can be rest assured. I will definitely forget how you sound like when you were crying and screaming in the jungle.”

A short while later, Vera arrived at the filming set, and she was already carrying Jiang Yuning’s belongings and jacket in her hand.

When Jiang Yuning saw Vera, she quickly bade farewell to the production crew and the rest of the guests. “Thank you everyone for your hard work and patience today. I am going home to rest now. See you during the next shoot.”

The production crew members, especially the cameraman and the staff who had walked together with Jiang Yuning’s group, quickly rushed forward to shake Jiang Yuning’s hand before she left. They were extremely grateful towards her. After all, they were also lucky enough to be able to eat all sorts of wild fruits and grilled fish because they were on her team.

At this time, Xu Beishen suddenly approached Jiang Yuning and whispered into her ear, “You will not always be so lucky.”

“Is that so? Just so you know, I have always been very lucky.” After that, Jiang Yuning walked towards Vera and quickly entered her car under Vera’s protection.

No one had noticed that there was someone else already waiting in Jiang Yuning’s car.

Jiang Yuning had already known that there was someone waiting for her in the car, as Vera had used their personal car to pick her up today. If there had not been anyone waiting in the car, Vera would have picked her up in the company car instead.

Jiang Yuning’s assumption was correct. At this time, Lu Jingzhi was sitting in the car as he waited for her.

“Second brother, one of your little fans is waiting for you right outside,” Jiang Yuning said. “Don’t you want to take a look and say hello to her?”

Lu Jingzhi pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms before he stared right into her eyes. “Okay then. I will roll down the car window and greet her now.”

“Sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong!” Jiang Yuning quickly replied as she placed her arms around Lu Jingzhi’s neck.

If Lu Jingzhi rolled down the car window now, not only would everyone know that she was with a man, but they would also know that the man was none other than Lu Jingzhi.

They would definitely be on the hot search all over the internet!

“You really will not give me any chance to get jealous at all.”

“What is there to be jealous about, huh?”

At this time, Vera, who was sitting at the driver’s seat, could not help but to overhear the conversation between both of them. She had goose bumps all over her body. How could any couple still be so cheesy even after marriage?

Vera could no longer stand it and she quickly put on her earplugs.

Didn’t Jiang Yuning know that she was silently torturing a single person by acting this way?

They finally arrived in front of the Royal Dragon Villa at eleven thirty at night. Vera watched as Lu Jingzhi and Jiang Yuning exited the car and just before Jiang Yuning entered the villa, Vera told her quickly, “Remember that you will have to film the next episode of <Desert Island Rescue> next Monday. You will also have to participate in the promotional event for <Mysteries of Heaven> tomorrow night. Please also go through those drama scripts that I have given you when you are free. I do not want you to miss any of the audition deadlines. Do not worry, I will also remind you about your schedule and the things that you have to do from time to time.”

“I got it!” Jiang Yuning replied as she made an okay gesture at Vera.

Vera was certain that Jiang Yuning would not remember a single thing that she had just told her. Furthermore, she was holding onto Lu Jingzhi right now and Vera knew better than anyone else that Jiang Yuning was always a gone case whenever she was around Lu Jingzhi.

However, just as Vera was about to leave the villa, Jiang Yuning suddenly stopped her because she thought of something. “Come over to the villa in the morning tomorrow. I have some new ideas that I would like to run by you.”

“Alright, I got it.”

“Okay, you can leave now.”

Vera was speechless.

Was Vera her maid or eunuch?

It would be more appropriate to call Vera her eunuch based on her job scope.

...

Immediately after entering the villa, Jiang Yuning jumped onto Lu Jingzhi and clung tightly onto him. “Second brother, I have not seen you in two days and you have already gotten even more handsome than before.”

Lu Jingzhi carried her up in his arms before he seated her down on the sofa. He did not say anything but he proceeded to crouch down in front of her before removing her shoes.

There were blisters, cuts, bruises, and also many scars all over her feet and ankles at this time.

“Show me your hands...”

Jiang Yuning shook her head and tried to hide her hands behind her back but she was eventually caught by her own man.

Lu Jingzhi could not help but sigh when he saw the condition of her hands and feet. He quickly brought out the first aid kit that they kept in the villa and started cleaning the wounds on her hand and feet. “Why are you putting in so much effort and doing this so desperately? What are you being so competitive for? Who are you trying to prove your worth to?”

“To myself. Both you and my brother are so amazing and skilful. I do not want to embarrass any of you,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious manner. “I did not treat it as though I was merely participating in a variety show. I took it as though I was experiencing and learning something for myself. I wasn’t trying to compare myself or my own abilities to anyone else. I just wanted to be myself and know how much and how far I can go without relying on both of you.”

Lu Jingzhi lifted Jiang Yuning’s foot up and placed it on his lap before he bandaged her foot up for her. “But we are always her for you to rely on.”

“I am already relying on you!” Jiang Yuning replied as she retracted her leg and leaned forward towards Lu Jingzhi as she whispered in his ear. “You are the source of my happiness and so, my happiness is solely dependent on you!”

“Are you trying to provoke me?”

“I wouldn’t dare to!” Jiang Yuning replied as she raised both of her hands. “But second brother, on a more serious note, I have not decided which drama to audition for after this. Vera has already sent a few drama scripts over to me. Could you help me to run through them later so that I can make a decision?”

“You do not have to rush.” Lu Jingzhi replied as he continued applying medicine on her feet and hands. “We will go through the scripts slowly after we go to our bedroom.”

Jiang Yuning had only been away for two days and there was already someone else who was interested in her. Did she think that Lu Jingzhi would not know that someone wanted to form a love line with her?

...

At this time, at the Xu family mansion.

After entering the mansion, Xu Beishen saw that Xu Liangzhou was sitting on the sofa in the living room, as though he was waiting for her to come home.

“Brother, it is already late at night. Why aren’t you in bed yet?”

“I know that you will be done filming the program today. That is why I have come home earlier to wait for you, so that I am able to ask you how you are feeling right now,” Xu Liangzhou replied indifferently as he continued sitting on the sofa with his hands in his pockets. He stared at Xu Beishen with an intense expression on his face before he continued speaking, “How dare you use my name to ask and obtain information about sister-in-law from Jian Shaoqi? Do you really want me to lose Lu Jingzhi as my brother and friend?”

“Brother, I do not have any ill intentions,” Xu Beishen replied immediately.

“Your ill intentions are written all over your face right now. Do you actually have the guts to tell me you do not mean her any harm?”

“I have already told you that I simply wanted to look at Jiang Yuning and know what kind of person she is. I want to know why Lu Jingzhi loves her so much!”

“And then? Do you want to replace her?” Xu Liangzhou sneered. “You had better not let me find out that you are doing something to hurt sister-in-law behind the scenes. If I discover that you are sneaking around and doing inappropriate things, I will disown you as my sister!”
