Chapter 356: Who Is This Person That’s So Worthy of You Falling Head Over Heels for Her
How did he get such a good little sister?
What has he done?
Jiang Xingyi felt that he wasn’t good enough for his little sister.
So much so that after he hung up the phone, he was deep in thought about Jiang Yu, thinking that in his previous life, he must have saved the Milky Way to get such a good sister.
It wasn’t until lunch time that Jiang Xingyi came to his senses.
Eh, Little Sister said that as long as he listened to her, he would be able to leave Huasheng smoothly when his contract expired.
What was Little Sister planning to do?
…
That afternoon, Wu Ting arrived in Beijing.
When he arrived at Jiang Xingyi’s studio, Jiang Xingyi was already there waiting for him.
The moment Wu Ting saw Jiang Xingyi, he said angrily, “You’ve created such a big mess yet you’re still acting as if nothing happened? Can’t you see that the building is on fire?!”
Jiang Xingyi crossed his hands and asked, “Then what do you want me to do?”
Wu Ting raised his chin. “First, tell me who that girl is!”
Jiang Xingyi shrugged. “No comment.”
“How dare you have such an attitude?” Wu Ting was furious, “Do you know that the senior management of the company is very dissatisfied with your recent behavior? Especially President Chen. President Chen is extremely disappointed in you. He wants you to pack up and leave. If I hadn’t dissuaded him, you would not be sitting here peacefully.”
Jiang Xingyi reminded him, “If I remember correctly, my contract with Huasheng will expire very soon. It should be next week.”
“So, you’re going to act recklessly now?”
Wu Ting pointed at Jiang Xingyi’s nose and scolded, “Don’t forget that as long as you’re still in Huasheng, you’re a member of Huasheng!”
Jiang Xingyi snorted coldly. He stared at Wu Ting with disappointment in his eyes and said angrily, “Wu Ting, when did you become Huasheng’s dog?”
“I just adapted faster than you. If we hadn’t embraced Huasheng back then, how could we have achieved what we have today?” Wu Ting dragged out his words and said, “Jiang Xingyi, one should never forget one’s roots.”
Jiang Xingyi shook his head.
He and Wu Ting had different worldviews and could not communicate.
Wu Ting changed the topic and said, “It’s fine if you don’t say anything. There’s another path you could choose. You have to promise to cut off all ties with her and swear that from then on, no such thing will ever happen again!”
Jiang Xingyi refused flatly, “That’s impossible. There’s no way I’ll cut off all ties with her.”
Seeing Jiang Xingyi’s attitude, Wu Ting said in surprise, “Who is this person that’s so worthy of you falling head over heels for her?”
Jiang Xingyi’s fingers swiped across his phone. When she was mentioned, his expression softened a little.
“Someone very, very, very important to me. Someone indispensable in my life.”
Wu Ting clicked his tongue and said, “Jiang Xingyi, ah, Jiang Xingyi. I’ve never seen you like this before. A girl. Heh, I didn’t expect that our great singer Jiang was also a great lover.”
Jiang Xingyi didn’t say anything.
“But, since you insist on being so stubborn…” Wu Ting’s eyes turned completely cold, “Then don’t blame me. From today onwards, you can just stay here and enjoy your life. As for your fate, that’s up for President Chen and the others to decide. I’ve already done what I can. It’s you who doesn’t know their limits. No one can protect you now!”
…
Within a few hours of Jiang Xingyi revealing that he was in love, the online female fans were heartbroken.
[I still can’t accept the fact that my brother is in love. My heart is broken. I’m crying. I’ve already used up a whole pack of tissues!]
[Ah ah ah! How can this be?! Brother, can’t you focus on your career? Why are you in love?!]
[Actually, there were already hints last time. Sisters, have you forgotten? A while back, Brother’s Weibo was already hinting. He rarely takes the initiative to post anything but then, he posted a personal message.].
[Maybe he wanted to test the waters and see how we would take it. He was going to find a suitable time to reveal this but he didn’t expect to be photographed first. It was probably too sudden so he hasn’t thought of how to make a statement yet.]
[The last incident also passed quietly. No explanation was posted to Brother’s Weibo or Huasheng’s official blog. In fact, it was a like silent agreement. Back then, there was a group of sisters who said that they would never date anyone else but now? They’ve all been slapped in the face, haven’t they?]
[Now, can’t media be a little more aggressive? Why would anyone take a picture from so far away? Don’t they have a face? Can they do something? Let me see what kind of goblin kidnapped our brother!]
[Brother’s girlfriend must also be a very outstanding person, right? Hurry up and dig it out. Let me go and squeeze her!]
The fans were in an uproar. Some fans had already started to waver and were ready to quit their fandoms.
At this time, some other revelations appeared.
From colleagues in the company, to television station staff, airport flight attendants, and so on, a huge number of people from a wide range of backgrounds came forward and commented on Jiang Xingyi’s shady character.
For example, when Jiang Xingyi was scheduled to record a program, he was never on time, acted like a big shot, was always in a foul mood, and would just leave when something upset him. When he had been on a plane, he was disrespectful to the flight attendants. Other such negative news, both openly and secretly, pointed out that there was something wrong with his character.
Some fans were already wavering, and when they saw the news, they stepped back and said,
“It’s my fault for idolizing the wrong person back then. I didn’t expect Jiang Xingyi to be such a person!”
“I’ve been a fan for over three years but in the end, I’ve been spending my money in the wrong place.”
“I hereby announce that from today onwards, I’m no longer a fan. Sisters, you can continue to be his fans. Let’s see what else this kind of man can bring you.”
There were also some slightly rational fans who replied:
[In the past, it was Brother’s melodic voice that accompanied me through the most difficult and incomprehensible days of adolescence. Since then, I’ve been convinced of Brother’s serious attitude towards music.
Brother has always wanted us to like his music but I really like his music and him as a person. If you really like Brother, you should support his decisions.
If he really falls in love, we should also give him our blessings, right? ]
This Weibo post was quickly spammed: [To tell you the truth, I’m just a fan of his face. Isn’t he walking the path of an idol? He’s only 21 years old. What’s the point of falling in love? Can he have a little more ambition?]
[There’s also a problem with this person’s character now. No matter how good his face is, his character isn’t good. I’m not a fan anymore.]
A few of them led the charge and the group of people below said the same thing. It was as if they were copying and pasting the same words.
The internet was in upheaval. Jiang Xingyi was ordered by Wu Ting to stay put in the studio and not go out. It was quite leisurely.
When Qiao Leshan arrived at the studio, Jiang Xingyi was playing the piano.
He was probably writing a song. After playing a paragraph, he would stop to write on the paper and then continue to play. Sometimes, he would even stop after playing a single note.
Jiang Xingyi was very focused when he played the piano. As he wrote, he seemed to have thought of something interesting. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile.
Qiao Leshan stood at the door for a moment before she knocked on the door.
Chapter 357: The Girl That Is So Special to Jiang Xingyi
It was then that Jiang Xingyi realized her existence. He said embarrassedly, “Leshan, please give me a moment. I just had a burst of inspiration.”
“Okay, I won’t disturb you,” Qiao Leshan said straightforwardly.
She knew his rules. He didn’t like to be disturbed while he was writing songs, and he also didn’t like to be interrupted which might affect his train of thought.
In the past, Jiang Xingyi would occasionally do the same. As he continued to write, he would sometimes work well into the night, regardless of whether the sky was dark or the earth was dark.
If they had made an appointment for dance practice, Jiang Xingyi would take into account the fact that she had made a special trip and declined or pushed back other work arrangements. Even if she was asked to wait and they ended up not practicing, he would still pay her the money and make an appointment for the next time.
He would even provide her with meals and a round trip fare. He would even give her something as compensation, even if she had not done anything.
Jiang Xingyi had always been admirable in this aspect. He was extremely cold and aloof to all the female celebrities who tried to get close to him. However, if they really got along with him, they would find that he was a very considerate person, but that was all.
Qiao Leshan had been his choreographer for more than two years. She was proud because she thought that she was regarded as special by Jiang Xingyi.
Now, she realized that there was an even more special girl.
Qiao Leshan’s heart was filled with curiosity. Who was this girl?
She turned around and returned to the waiting area. She sat down for a bit, then ran to the small room to take a look in the newly installed cabinet, only to find that…
The cabinet was filled with snacks again.
Qiao Leshan narrowed her eyes.
She was now very sure that Jiang Xingyi’s snacks had been specially prepared for the girl from last time. So, was she the girl that had been photographed at the hospital entrance?
But that girl looked so young. Was she even an adult?
Qiao Leshan was still thinking about it when Jiang Xingyi came out.
“I’m sorry, Leshan. I’ve made you wait for so long.”
“It’s fine.”
Qiao Leshan’s fees were paid by the hour and that includes the time she sits around waiting.
She said, “I’m free tonight, I can extend the training time.”
Jiang Xingyi said gently, “Thank you, Leshan.”
Qiao Leshan smiled and patted Jiang Xingyi’s shoulder as usual. “Why are we still discussing such things between us?”
Jiang Xingyi nodded. “That’s true.”
Qiao Leshan thought to herself that Jiang Xingyi would never show such a warm expression to other female artists. She was special, to begin with.
If only…
If only there wasn’t that girl.
Qiao Leshan snapped her fingers. “It seems like you aren’t affected by that incident online. I’m relieved. However, are those things online true?”
She pretended to be indifferent but she was secretly nervous about Jiang Xingyi’s answer.
“Which one are you talking about?”
“Aiya, it’s just that one piece of news. It said that you fell in love and even got the other party pregnant.” Qiao Leshan whistled. “Kid, you’re amazing. You got the other party pregnant quite effortlessly.”
Jiang Xingyi did not respond.
Qiao Leshan’s heart skipped a beat, and she said exaggeratedly, “It can’t be. Are you saying they’re right?”
“How many things on the Internet do you think are true?”
“Then, what does Brother Wu plan to do?”
Jiang Xingyi joked, “He’s already done his part. Shouldn’t he just let me go already?”
Qiao Leshan was about to continue, but Jiang Xingyi changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about things that affect our mood. Let’s go practice.”
Qiao Leshan quickly hid the obscurity in her eyes and went to the rehearsal room with Jiang Xingyi.
Chapter 358: Create an Even Brighter Path for Him
After the exam, Jiang Wan finally noticed the news online.
She recognized the girl in the picture at a single glance. It couldn’t be anyone else but Jiang Yu.
Was Third Brother already so close to Jiang Yu?
Why hadn’t Third Brother clarified it yet though?
Since he hasn’t clarified it, she could borrow it and use it to her advantage.
Jiang Wan quickly gave Feng Jinghan a call.
“I have something to tell you. The girl in the photo is Jiang Yu.”
Feng Jinghan asked, “How can you be sure? You’re not assuming that everyone looks like her just because you’re biased against her, right?”
“Because Jiang Xingyi is my Third Brother.”
Feng Jinghan raised her voice. “What?”
Then, she said, “Jiang Xingyi is your Third Brother and Jiang Yu is his little sister. What’s wrong with them standing together? What do you want to tell me?”
Jiang Wan laughed. “Miss Feng, don’t you remember yourself?”
Feng Jinghan was stunned for a moment. Soon, she realized what Jiang Wan was trying to imply about her. She became angry out of embarrassment and said, “If you dare to publicize my matter, I won’t let you go so easily.”
“I won’t be that stupid. Besides, Miss Feng and I are allies now.”
Jiang Wan said slowly, “Tell me, what do you think Brother Junhao will think if he finds out that Jiang Yu has some illicit relationship with her biological brother?”
There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Feng Jinghan then said, “Jiang Wan, that’s also your brother. Is this how you want to treat him?”
“If you don’t acknowledge that I’m your little sister, can you still be considered my brother?”
Jiang Wan’s face was cold. “Miss Feng, I’ve already come up with an idea. Whether you want to do it or not is up to you.”
…
When Jiang Yu returned home, Jiang Chenglang was already sitting on the sofa.
He was on the phone. Seeing that Jiang Yu had returned, he said to her, “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Following that, he hung up the phone.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to head upstairs, Jiang Chenglang stood up and walked over. “Xiao Yu, about the incident that happened today…”
“I already know.”
Jiang Chenglang raised his eyebrows and waited for Jiang Yu to continue.
Jiang Yu looked at him. “I also know that you’re going to come forward and clarify things.”
“Xingyi is a member of the Jiang family. One day, he will return to the Jiang family. The Jiang family also has an entertainment company. He can come over and work for them.”
“But the Jiang family’s entertainment company is not good enough.”
Jiang Chenglang choked for a moment. He did not expect Jiang Yu to answer like this.
“I want to create an even brighter path for him.”
After saying this, Jiang Yu went upstairs.
Jiang Chenglang stood rooted to the ground.
Did he just hear something out of this world?
At Xiaoyu’s young age, why did he feel like she was having… grandiose delusions?
…
Things on the Internet continued to ferment.
More and more people came forward to expose the dirt on Jiang Xingyi. Whether it was true or not, all kinds of news were flying around.
Following that, more and more people said that they wanted to quit being his fan.
However, Jiang Xingyi’s Weibo did not make a sound even though there was a lot of commotion on the internet.
Not only that, even Huasheng’s official Weibo was quiet. There was not a sound from either party.
[Huasheng isn’t going to use the same trick as last time and play dead, right?]
[Do you really think we’re that easy to fool? Do you think your fans are all fools?]
[You must be worried that your lies will be exposed and you will get trampled on. That’s why you’re playing dead, right?]
[Huasheng, come out! Things have to be resolved!]
On the third day after the picture was leaked, Huasheng’s official Weibo finally made a move.
It issued a statement.
