Chapter 353: Don’t Let Jiang Yu Get Caught up in the Storm Again
Jiang Xingyi began to sink into sorrow. He was thinking about whether he should clarify things as soon as possible. This would result in his relationship with the Jiang Corporation being exposed.
Perhaps, once Huasheng has found out about his relationship with the Jiangs, they would know that he was not to be trifled with and let him leave.
He could also take this opportunity to experience the feeling of having a backer?
However, the thought of having the Jiang Corporation as his backer made him feel uncomfortable.
Just as he was thinking about it, another call came in.
Jiang Xingyi took a look and saw that the caller was Wu Ting.
He frowned and said, “I have to go now. I have a call coming in. I’ll hang up now.”
“Okay,” Jiang Jingnian replied quickly. “I’ve beat around the bush enough. I just have nothing else better to do.”
Jiang Xingyi suddenly had an epiphany. “So, you called me today just to mock me?”
Jiang Jingnian: “You can also interpret it that way.”
Jiang Xingyi: “… Get lost.”
…
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jingnian pressed the space between his eyebrows.
For some reason, when he saw the news online, he did not think and had immediately called Jiang Yu.
Her phone was turned off.
He then called Jiang Xingyi and said something… that he would never have said in the past.
Jiang Jingnian did not like to meddle in other people’s business but after meeting Jiang Yu, he broke the rules over and over again.
Back then, the first time he saw her on the street, also the second time he saw her in the hospital, even now, she seemed to always be caught up in some sort of storm.
When Jiang Jingnian saw the news, his first thought was—
Don’t let Jiang Yu get caught up in the storm again.
He hoped that Jiang Xingyi would handle this matter properly but he couldn’t say those words after dialing the number.
Jiang Jingnian smiled self-deprecatingly.
He usually doesn’t care to interfere with other people’s affairs, so why was he so worried this time?
It was really strange.
…
On the other side, Jiang Xingyi picked up Wu Ting’s call.
On the other end of the phone, Wu Ting’s angry roar came first. Jiang Xingyi held the phone a little further away. When he felt that the voice on the other end had returned to normal volume, he put the phone back to his ear.
However, as soon as he spoke, Wu ting immediately shouted again, “I know you weren’t listening just now!”
Jiang Xingyi said lazily, “So what do you want to say?”
“I’ll be in Beijing this afternoon. The higher-ups of the company are very dissatisfied with what you’ve done this time. You’d better think about how to explain it to me. Also, I must know the identity of that girl!”
Jiang Xingyi asked back, “What if I don’t tell you?”
“Then don’t blame the company for being heartless. You’ve been crossing the line a lot recently. The higher-ups of the company…”
Jiang Xingyi interrupted, “They want me to leave, right? Can’t you just say it?”
“You’re the one who wanted to leave.” Wu Ting snorted. “The company has been treating you well all these years, yet you’re still so ungrateful.”
“They’ve indeed treated me well. They even invited a few new artists to share the stage with me. They even threw me a few VIP guests. Did anyone ask for my opinion?”
“What’s wrong with you taking on new artists?”
“It’s nothing much but they want me to help write songs for these people. What do you think about that?”
Wu Ting paused for two seconds before saying, “The company has groomed you. You can’t be so selfish and monopolize the company’s resources all to yourself, right?”
Jiang Xingyi said coldly, “Is there anything else you want to say? If you don’t, I’m hanging up.”
Wu Ting: “Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you over the phone. Wait for me…”
“Beep beep beep…”
Jiang Xingyi immediately hung up the phone.
He was expressionless as he looked at the phone records. He gave Jiang Yu a call but her phone was still turned off.
At this moment, his phone rang again.
Jiang Chenglang was calling.
Chapter 354: It Was Impossible That She Had Finished All the Questions
However, the other party, Jiang Yu, was unaware of what was happening
She was sitting in the exam room, taking the five-subject entrance examination. She had just finished filling out the paper, yawned, and was about to go to sleep.
The second round of the exam was about to start. If she went out, she would have to find a different place to sleep. Too troublesome. She might as well just sleep in the classroom.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to fall asleep, she was woken up by someone.
The invigilator was a young woman wearing square-rimmed glasses. Her hair was tied up and sat on top of her head. This made her look a little old.
The female teacher knocked on her desk and the expression on her face wasn’t too good. “Either hand in your papers or get out. Don’t disturb the other students here.”
Jiang Yu had just been woken up and was a little sleepy. She blurted out, “But I didn’t snore.”
If she didn’t snore, how could she have affected the other students?
“You slept in the exam room and broke the exam room rules.”
Jiang Yu flipped to the exam notes on the back of the answer sheet and said, “The list of exam room rules doesn’t say that you can’t sleep in the exam room.”
“I said, if you can’t sleep here, then you can’t sleep here. Are you still trying to argue with me?”
The female teacher scoffed and said, “It’s only been half an hour and you’re already asleep. You didn’t even write down any answers. I wonder which school sent such a student here. Such poor quality. What do they think of the five-subjects examination? Are they just playing around?”
Jiang Yu did not reply.
The female teacher continued, “You even dared to talk back to the invigilator in the examination room. If you dare to talk back again, I’ll deduct your points!”
Jiang Yu was not angered by her.
She only looked at her coldly and glanced at the badge on her lapel.
Tang Su.
A teacher from Beijing High School Two.
The Beijing Two and A High have never been on the same page. Beijing Two had always wanted to surpass A High, and the two schools had always been secretly competing with each other.
In the past few years, Beijing Two teachers had also caught up to their level. They had also submitted a few good students into the exam, which made them feel quite proud. It was even rumored that A High, being an old high school, had gradually declined and that one day, Beijing Two would catch up to them.
Therefore, the teachers of Beijing Two dared to be arrogant in front of her, trying to demoralize her.
She even claimed that she didn’t know which school she was from when the seating chart was right at the door. Who was she trying to fool?
However, in the examination room, Jiang Yu did not intend to continue arguing with her. Otherwise, it would really affect the other students.
She stood up, picked up the paper and said, “Here are my papers.”
Tang Su raised her chin and said, “Don’t say that I didn’t give you time. You were the one who wanted to hand in your paper.”
Jiang Yu handed her the paper and walked out.
Tang Su mocked in her heart. She had already looked at this year’s exam questions and they were far more difficult than the previous years. Only half an hour had passed. This girl from A High, it was impossible that she had finished all the questions!
Her exam scores would definitely not be that high. Did A High send over such a girl this year to deliberately lower the average score of A High?
Then, Beijing Two could not be blamed when they stepped on A High’s head this time around.
Tang Su smiled contemptuously. Without even looking, she brought the test paper to the podium and put it into a bag.
There were surveillance cameras in the classroom. Of course, they could not switch test papers. She was also not interested in this girl’s test paper anyway.
It was said that the first place in A High had always been held by Feng Junhao of the Feng family. Beijing Two also had a powerful descendant from a wealthy family.
Then let’s see who was stronger.
Jiang Wan looked up and saw Jiang Yu leaving the classroom. She looked to the other side and saw that Feng Junhao was also staring at Jiang Yu’s back.
She gripped her pen so tightly and the tip of the pen drew a line on the draft paper.
…
Jiang Yu walked out of the classroom and took out her phone.
As she walked towards the lawn, she yawned and turned on her phone.
Chapter 355: Little Sister Is a Little Angel Sent by the Heavens
When she turned her phone on, she received a series of text messages that showed her missed calls.
Jiang Yu looked down from above and raised her eyebrows.
The four Jiang Brothers have gathered together?
Grand slam?
Did something happen?
She randomly clicked on a news website and saw a familiar photo. It suddenly dawned on her that she had been secretly photographed.
Jiang Yu skimmed through the news and was amused.
The news was well-written. It said that she and Jiang Xingyi had gone to a love nest after leaving the hospital. It said that she wore a loose hoodie to hide her growing stomach. If they continued, they probably would be predicting her expected date of delivery.
Jiang Yu did not think much of it. She looked up Jiang Xingyi’s phone number and dialed it. The first thing she said was, “I saw the news online.”
However, Jiang Xingyi thought that Jiang Yu was here to denounce him. He immediately said, “Little Sister, I can explain!”
Jiang Yu: “Huh?”
Jiang Xingyi: “I will clarify it. I’ll clarify it right away!”
Jiang Yu asked curiously, “Didn’t I promise to help you block the suitors? Is there any need to clarify it?”
Jiang Xingyi: “Huh?”
Jiang Yu: “It’s up to you. I don’t mind it.”
In the photo, she was wearing a hoodie and her face couldn’t be seen clearly.
As a result, Jiang Yu wouldn’t be disturbed, and there shouldn’t be any reporters waiting outside the school.
Jiang Xingyi was still hesitating, “Jiang Chenglang called me just now. I think what he said makes sense. You are my younger sister and clearly, I should be your shield, not the other way around. The clarification is just a couple of words. I didn’t think it through before.”
To think that he treated his little sister as his only family member, yet he couldn’t even handle such a small matter.
Jiang Yu was listening to the phone through her earpiece while her fingers were still scrolling through the unread messages on WeChat.
Then…
She logged into a chatroom and saw that there was a message thread left for her signed by “The Strongest Team in the Universe”.
After sending the message, they asked, “Boss, what should we do?”
After Jiang Yu finished reading the thread, her expression turned cold.
“Wait,” Jiang Yu said, “I’ve changed my mind. I mind now.”
Jiang Xingyi: “Ah? What do you mind, Little Sister?”
Jiang Yu: “There’s no need to clarify anything for now. On the contrary, you have to bite the bullet and not say anything. Try your best to guide them in the wrong direction.”
Jiang Xingyi felt the little question marks above his head holding hands and dancing in a circle.
He asked in confusion, “Why?”
“Your contract with Huasheng is about to expire, right? Are you ready to leave?”
“Little Sister, how do you know about that?” Jiang Xingyi asked in surprise. “Do you also follow such entertainment news?”
Jiang Xingyi’s train of thought had gone astray. He instantly thought that Little Sister was concerned about him, right?
That was why she was watching the entertainment news, right?
Otherwise, if his little sister chose to watch television, she’d probably only watch shows about food…
Jiang Yu said briefly, “Occasionally.”
She continued, “Listen to me. I promise that I’ll let you leave successfully.”
Jiang Xingyi agreed, although he only half-believed her. He then asked carefully, “Little Sister, are you really not mad at me?”
“Why should I be angry?”
Jiang Yu said straightforwardly, “You chose to be a singer because it’s your interest and it was your hobby. It’s just that this career has made you a public figure. Just because of some stupid rules in that circle that you can’t avoid, such as this kind of secret photo, it’d be too unreasonable to take it out on you.”
Jiang Xingyi was touched and said, “Little Sister, you’re really a little angel sent by the Heavens!”
