“Since you are asking for a favor from heaven, then the price will not be that simple. What do you think?” After that, Lu Jingzhi asked the driver to start driving.
Your weakness is not a reason for me to tolerate you.
Moreover, the paparazzo was the one who started blackmailing them in the first place. This was the circle of life.
…
After spending the whole day sourcing for information regarding the paparazzo, Ku Jie finally found out that Lu Jingzhi had already dealt with that scumbag. Moreover, he used the same method that he had always used to deal with these kind of people.
Ku Jie had to admit that this was in fact the simplest and most effective way to get things done.
After that, the Lu family became even more mysterious and scary because rumors started spreading, stating that a paparazzo’s family had disappeared in a bizarre manner simply because he photographed something that he should not have in the first place. No one dared to look into the matter to find out the authenticity of this rumor. No one bothered to verify if the information was true or false. At this time, the people who had initially spread the videos of Lu Jingqi quickly cleared their cache and removed the videos that they had posted on the Internet. It was now a taboo for anyone in the entertainment industry to mention the Lu family.
Whenever someone saw that Lu Jingqi’s emoji package had not been removed, they would ask: “Do you really want your whole family to disappear mysteriously?”
After listening, the other party would quickly delete the emoji before replying, “No, it does not have to be that way.”
Jiang Yuning heard the news when she was in the crew. A few days later, she made a video call to Lu Jingzhi. “Second Brother, don’t you care about the reputation of the Lu family anymore? Everyone in the entertainment industry would always panic whenever anyone mentions the Lu family now. They are afraid that they would get eaten alive!”
“It’s a good thing that they know how to be afraid.”
This was because Lu Jingzhi was the one who had asked Ku Jie to release the rumor in public.
Did the public really think that the heir of the Lu family was a gentle and kind-hearted man that they could mess around with? When did the Lu family become an object of ridicule?
“Well…I knew that no one would be able to escape you as soon as you start taking action.”
“It seems as though you are not tired at all. You can even answer Third Uncle’s phone call in the middle of the night, huh? I can’t believe that you did not even bother to tell me about it but instead, you went straight to your brother first.”
Empress Jiang did not expect Lu Jingzhi to bring up the past.
Furthermore, she could smell his jealousy even though both of them were so far apart.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning could only smirk as she replied, “Second Brother…can we just let go of the past already? Let’s not turn the old accounts over. I did not tell you because I am afraid that your actions would be too lethal. As soon as you got involved in the matter, the other party’s family members went ‘missing’ immediately. On the bright side, there is much fewer reporters and paparazzi camping outside the Lu family mansion nowadays, right?”
Lu Jingzhi knew that she was trying to change the subject intentionally. However, he did not fall for it and he revert the conversation back to its original topic.
“Are you still going to answer a phone call in the middle of the night?”
“I will turn off my cell phone at eleven o’clock every night,” Jiang Yuning replied in an honest manner.
“Will you still try to take care of things without even bothering to report the matter to me?”
“Otherwise…would you feel better if I set up call forwarding so that Third Uncle’s phone call will always be automatically transferred to your cell phone instead?”
Lu Jingzhi snorted as soon as he heard Jiang Yuning’s words. He knew that his little descendant was extremely talented at coaxing him.
“Second Brother, I am extremely exhausted. I have to film a scene early in the morning tomorrow. I will go to bed first, okay?”
Jiang Yuning ended the video call without even waiting for her man to reply.
Although the matter involving the paparazzo had indeed been resolved through Lu Jingzhi’s means, was it really a good idea to demonize the Lu family in this manner?
Jiang Yuning did not know that the paparazzo’s matter had not been completely resolved.
Although the paparazzo had left the country to chase after his family as soon as he found out that they had already gone abroad, there was more than meets the eye because…
On the night when the paparazzo’s family had mysteriously disappeared, the paparazzo had been drinking with some of his friends. After that, he had showed them the pictures that he had taken of Lu Jingqi outside the agency. Moreover, he did not even hesitate and he simply shared those pictures with his friends when they asked for it.
After the strange disappearance of the paparazzo’s family was made known to the public, none of the other paparazzi had the guts to share or release any information or pictures about the Lu family. However, Young Master Han came to know about this matter eventually.
Young Master Han did not dare to challenge the Lu family openly.
However, he had already found out that the Lu family was hiding Lu Jingqi in the agency and that Lu Jingqi was actually undergoing a secret training process with a group of boys now.
What? There was more drama?
This must be Jiang Yuning’s idea. What? A mentally retarded kid can also become a celebrity?
What a joke!
Even if the agency and the Lu family were doing a solid job at keeping Lu Jingqi’s training a secret, could they say the same about his other team members?
Wouldn’t it be easy for Young Master Han to get more information from his other teammates?
…
Jiang Yuning was really exhausted at the filming set during the next few days.
This was because the director had very high demands and he was even stricter with Jiang Yuning because of his pursuit to film a high quality drama. Therefore, he would often ask all the actors and actresses to retake the scenes as long as there is a slight defect in the previous ones.
For the past few days, Jiang Yuning would always fall asleep immediately as soon as she returned to her bedroom after filming her scenes. Sometimes, she would even fall asleep directly on the sofa in the studio.
When Jiang Yuning was taking a short nap in between her scenes, the young paparazzo heard her cell phone vibrating continuously. Therefore, he quickly nudged Jiang Yuning to wake her up. “Sister Yuning…”
Jiang Yuning woke up immediately before she asked, “Has filming started already?”
“No, I think that Brother-in-Law just sent you a text message.”
Jiang Yuning quickly sat up straight before she picked up her cell phone to read the text message. “I had almost forgotten that I have a husband. I miss my Second Brother…sob. Sob.”
“I already checked the weather forecast. It should be raining when you return to Luo City to film the next episode of the variety program tomorrow” the young paparazzo subconsciously replied.
“Haven’t you already made the arrangements for me to finish recording the episode in the afternoon so that I can hurry back to the filming set at night?” Jiang Yuning replied with a sad expression on her face.
“There will be a thunderstorm…”
Second Young Master Lu loved the rain but he did not enjoy feeling lonely when there was a heavy rain.
Since it would be raining, Jiang Yuning knew that Lu Jingzhi would definitely miss her very much and she missed him very much too.
“Moreover, there is no way that we can proceed filming your scenes if it will be raining tomorrow anyway.”
“Young boy, do you know that we have a shed?” Jiang Yuning asked as she stared at the young paparazzo. “However, I think that I can actually drop by Royal Dragon Villa tomorrow night just to steal a glance at Second Brother…”
The young paparazzo looked at Jiang Yuning with a blank expression on his face because he did not believe that Jiang Yuning would be able to leave as soon as she saw Lu Jingzhi.
…
Even though Jiang Yuning’s schedule was packed to the brim, she did not forget to check on Lu Jingqi’s progress. It seemed as though Lu Jingqi’s condition was improving and he was already making massive progress in his recovery. He had even asked for a cell phone from his father recently.
However, since this was an important matter, they would have to ask for Wang Jing’s permission before proceeding with Lu Jingqi’s request. After much consideration, Wang Jing decided that it would not be too much of a problem as long as Lu Jingqi was monitored closely.
Lu Jingqi continued training and practicing dancing with Jin Mingchen and his teammates. Lu Jingqi was also developing a good and close relationship with his teammates every day. All of them were getting closer except for…the boy with the blue hair, that Lu Jingqi previously rescued.
Recently, he would always peek at Lu Jingqi from time to time with a guilty expression on his face.
Yes, he was the one under Young Master Han’s control.
The boy had initially refused to work with Young Master Han. After all, he really liked Lu Jingqi and he appreciated the fact that he had actually protected him when he fell down the last time. However, Young Master Han had evidence that he was cheating on his girlfriend even though he was already in a relationship. The boy knew that his career would go down the drain if Young Master Han exploited this matter and leaked it out to the public.
Therefore, the only thing that he could do was to report to Young Master Han on everything that Lu Jingqi was doing in the studio with his teammates.
This included…
The fact that Wang Jing had already made the arrangements for Lu Jingqi to perform together with them during the next music festival.
This piece of information made Young Master Han really excited because he was now even more certain that Jiang Yuning was planning to use this opportunity to declare that Lu Jingqi was an ordinary person like everyone else.
Things were starting to get more and more interesting.
What would Jiang Yuning do if he embarrassed Lu Jingqi on the spot?
Wouldn’t it become an obvious fact that Lu Jingqi was and had always been mentally retarded?
