Chapter 370: You Said You’re Short of Money!

[In other words, Jiang Yuning was supporting Xiao Chennan unconditionally despite not knowing about his actual family history? She is really a genuine friend.]

[The incident broke out early in the morning and Jiang Yuning already showed her support for Xiao Chennan later that morning. How would she have the time to find out about Brother Nan’s family affairs within that short timespan?]

[So, those people who came up with all those conspiracy theories can just go home already. The kind of friendship that Xiao Chennan and Jiang Yuning have is really precious and priceless.]

[Jiang Yuning dared to do what everyone else dares to, but Jiang Yuning also dared to do everything else that no one dares to.]

Later that night, Vera came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and she sat down next to Xiao Chennan as she dried her hair. “It’s finally sunshine after the rain.”

“Not yet.”

This was because Xiao Chennan knew that there was more to come from his agency. However, he was not afraid at all because he was holding onto a trump card that he could use against his company and the vice chairman.

“We also have to find out the identity of the person who tried to set you up,” Vera said in a bitter manner. “I am really very relieved and happy that both you and Yuning could survive this difficulty without getting affected.”

After that, Vera patted her chest gently as she sighed in relief.

“Speaking of this, shouldn’t we be celebrating a little? Second Young Master Lu will be flying back to Luo City in the afternoon. Yuning will definitely be lonely tonight.”

“Then, you can go over to her room to keep her company tonight,” Xiao Chennan replied in an assuring manner as he held Vera’s hand.

“Then...what about you?” Vera’s complexion was a little pinkish at this time. in fact, Vera was already ready to take the next step but it seemed as though Xiao Chennan did not catch the hint.

“I...” Xiao Chennan slowly leaned forward towards Vera before he kissed her lips. “I will let you go only after spending quality time with you...”

...

On the other hand, Jiang Yuning was learning how to sing the ending theme song for <Mysteries of Heaven> at the moment. She did not feel lonely or bored at all. Although she had been really upset when Lu Jingzhi left in the afternoon, she had to deal with it and be strong. This was because she had already set a goal to make as much money as she can within the year so that she could prove her ability to Grandpa Lu. Now that she was so engrossed with work, it seemed as though it was not that difficult for her to be separated from Lu Jingzhi.

This was also the reason why Lu Jingzhi felt very dissatisfied and discontented.

At this time, the young paparazzo was sitting on the chair directly opposite Jiang Yuning and he was eating his instant noodles as he listened to Jiang Yuning humming the song. “Sister Yuning, I really think that you sing the song way better than the original singer.”

“Are you trying to get me blacklisted and hated on again?” Jiang Yuning asked as she glared at the young paparazzo. “Are you a fake fan?”

The young paparazzo was about to answer Jiang Yuning’s question when he suddenly received an incoming phone call from Ku Jie.

“Jie...Brother Ku Jie?”

“I could not get through to Vera. I just wanted to inform you that the person who started the rumor about Xiao Chennan is Zheng Zeyang.”

After he was done speaking, Ku Jie hung up the phone immediately. He was very indifferent and emotionless, and there were no differences between him and a reporting machine.

The young paparazzo hung up the phone before he looked at Jiang Yuning and said, “Sister Yuning, do you know of this guy called Zheng Zeyang? I believe that he has also been selected as one of the contestants vying for the best actor award of the year. However, this is the first time that he has ever been nominated for the award and I think he felt threatened by Brother Nan’s status in the entertainment circle. Perhaps this is the reason why he decided to frame Brother Nan?”

“Does that make him right then?” Jiang Yuning asked as she sneered. “Pass this information on to Brother Nan. He will know how to handle it on his own. He has already been nominated for every important award ceremony every year. He is probably used to handling such situations.”

“Sister Yuning, will you also be facing this kind of situations in future?”

“I have only won the popular artiste award and you are also putting me so high up a pedestal?” Jiang Yuning replied as she rolled her eyes. The young paparazzo really had a big sense of humor.

Why would Jiang Yuning not be worthy of a top actress award?

If she wanted to, there was always a possibility.

Seriously...

At this time, the young paparazzo was suddenly curious to find out what Jiang Yuning was doing since she was so focused on her laptop screen. Therefore, he put down his instant noodles before he walked behind Jiang Yuning. The young paparazzo was speechless when he saw Jiang Yuning using a fake social media account to check on the love line between the male and female lead for the gaming version of <Yan Huasu>.

“Since you have already decided to accept the role of the first female lead for the drama, can you have some self-respect?”

“I have self-respect for myself...but that does not mean that I cannot become their fan,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately.

“It is no wonder that Brother-in-Law’s face is so black nowadays. Sister Yuning, don’t you think that you should take some time off to reflect on your attitude? Just the other day, Brother-in-Law travelled thousands of miles just to come and accompany you, and what happened in the end? You were busy filming throughout the entire day and night! If I was Brother-in-Law, I would just disown you immediately.”

“Really?” Jiang Yuning suddenly felt a little guilty. “Hold on. Director Shen just sent me a job proposal.”

As Vera had recently been preoccupied with Xiao Chennan’s matters, Shen Yichen had offered to help Vera to handle some of the work related to Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning opened the email that Shen Yichen sent to her and she immediately forgot that the young paparazzo was talking to her about Lu Jingzhi.

“Recently, some of your fans pointed out that you have a pair of very straight and white teeth. Therefore, this has captured the attention of a big automatic toothbrush brand and they have already decided to name you as the ambassador for their new toothbrush collection. Congratulations on your new endorsement contract!”

“Moreover, one of the big brands in the market has recently released a new eye cream. You can also take a look at this endorsement.”

Jiang Yuning: “If I remember correctly, this brand actually specializes in making hemorrhoid creams?”

“You said that you were short of money!” Shen Yichen replied as he laughed. “Well, I have to tell you that the endorsement fee for this project is almost eight figures!”

Jiang Yuning was in a dilemma as she was placed in an extremely tough spot.

...

Lu Jingzhi returned to the Lu family mansion as soon as he landed in Luo City.

This was because Grandpa Lu would already be leaving the Lu family mansion and going back to his own private residence in two days’ time. This was the reason why Lu Jingzhi decided to spend more time at the Lu family mansion to keep his grandfather company. Anyway, someone had been really busy recently and she did not seem to be missing him a lot these days.

Later that night, Chen Jingshu saw that Lu Jingzhi had a very upset and annoyed frustration expression on his face. Therefore, she approached him slowly before she asked, “Second Brother, did you just come back from T City?”

“Yeah,” Lu Jingzhi replied indifferently.

“Yuning must be very happy.”

“I don’t think she looked that happy anyway,” Lu Jingzhi muttered to himself.

Although he spoke in a very soft voice, Chen Jingshu could still hear what he just said.

“Yuning...must be very poor lately, right? Did she complain about being poor to you?” Chen Jingshu asked as she looked at Lu Jingzhi.

“Poor?” Lu Jingzhi replied as he frowned. How could Jiang Yuning be poor?

“To be honest, Yuning and Grandpa had already made a promise to keep this matter between both of them. However, I feel that it would not be such a bad idea to tell you about this. In fact, I think you do not know what she did when she came here for the New Year Eve’s reunion dinner the other night. Yuning took the opportunity to talk to Grandpa in private when you were on the second floor on that day.”

At this time, Lu Jingzhi widened his eyes in surprised. He was shocked.

“She knelt down before Grandpa and begged him to consider her when he makes any arrangements for another blind date for you in the future. She told him that she had already been in love with you for many years and that she really wanted to be with you. Grandpa was so infuriated that I could hear him yelling at her even though I was not in the room with them. Grandpa also reprimanded her for making such a shameless request.”

“Grandpa was very angry. He said that it would not be morally right for Yuning to be involved with you considering the fact that she used to be Lu Zongye’s fiancée. Grandpa does not think that Yuning is good enough for you but she begged him to give her a chance to prove herself to him. She told him that she really loves you and she will do anything for you. Although I am not sure how she eventually managed to convince Grandpa, I know for certain that Grandpa has not objected to or rejected her at the moment.”
