Chapter 533: Chapter 524: Who Still Runs into Mr. Shen by Chance

"Hello everyone, I’m Jiang Xiyu."

When they saw who the so-called mysterious guest was, everyone except the newcomers Annie and Andy, even Cao Xinyan, showed a moment of bewilderment on their faces.

Although the three quickly adjusted, this was a live broadcast variety show, and the change in their expressions had already been captured by many viewers in the livestream room.

However, the reactions from many viewers in the livestream room were not much better than theirs.

Anyone who knew Jiang Lingxi or Jiang Xiyu was well aware of their past relationship in the circle.

It was pure rivalry!

As long as one was in the spotlight, the other would fade into the background.

Previously, it was Jiang Xiyu who was in the spotlight, and Jiang Lingxi who faded away.

Now, it was the other way around.

It’s as if there were a pair of hands manipulating everything behind the scenes, only allowing one of them to be in the limelight.

If Jiang Lingxi was dining in the restaurant, and now Jiang Xiyu appears...

Everyone got excited at this thought.

[I was just randomly picking a live variety show to watch while eating, didn’t expect to witness a chaotic scene, such a pleasant surprise!]

[The mysterious guest turned out to be Jiang Xiyu, haven’t heard any good news about this lady for months, although her account is frequently active, it seems just to maintain popularity, no endorsements or new dramas being promoted.]

[As expected, it proves the saying in the circle: where there is Jiang Xiyu, there is no Jiang Lingxi, and where there is Jiang Lingxi, there is no Jiang Xiyu.]

[But doesn’t Jiang Xiyu look a bit off under the camera, there’s a wrinkle when she smiles at the camera. Could it be that popularity really nourishes people, after losing her fame her condition seems to have deteriorated rapidly.]

[Isn’t Jiang Xiyu supposed to be a year younger than Jiang Lingxi? Looking at them now, Jiang Lingxi actually seems younger. I really want to see what happens when they suddenly encounter each other later!]

...

After picking up Jiang Xiyu, everyone finally returned to the restaurant.

Though Jiang Xiyu’s popularity had declined a lot, she was still considered a senior by the other guests present.

Addressed constantly as "sister", she was surrounded by flattery, which unknowingly reduced the gloom she felt from seeing Jiang Lingxi appearing at the Calligraphy and Painting Association.

Once she entered the restaurant, she stood tall and actively searched for Jiang Lingxi’s figure.

Earlier, she saw screenshots captured by the livestream viewers and speculated that Jiang Lingxi probably didn’t know the program crew was filming at the Calligraphy and Painting Association today, wearing just casual clothes with no special makeup or styling.

How could that compare to her meticulously styled outfit from head to toe!

Jiang Lingxi took the wet wipes handed over by Shen Yunqing to wipe the corner of her mouth, just about to get up when she noticed the cameraman walking toward them, the equipment all too familiar to her.

She simply sat back down, pressing down on Shen Yunqing who was about to stand with her, and quickly pulled over a folding screen next to her to block herself.

The whole set of actions was smooth as flowing water, completed in less than ten seconds.

Shen Yunqing didn’t ask anything, just poured another cup of tea, Qian Yiheng was first astonished by her agility, and then couldn’t help but wonder, "Jiang..."

"Shh!"

From outside the screen, another voice was heard, "Is Sister Jiang looking for someone?"

Qian Yiheng was still confused about who ’Sister Jiang’ was referring to when another voice replied, "No, I just find this restaurant very pretty."

Jiang Xiyu cursed inwardly at Cao Xinyan’s big mouth as she hadn’t seen Jiang Lingxi yet and couldn’t continue scanning around after being questioned.

Luckily, there was a turn of events.

"Xinyan!"

She quickly signaled.

Cao Xinyan subconsciously looked in the direction she signaled and saw the elderly man walking back, her eyes lit up, "Grandpa Yuan."

Yuan Hui, after chatting with Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing at the table, had drunk quite a few teas and drinks, and just as he returned from the restroom, he ran into the granddaughter of the president, though a bit impatient, he still nodded, "Ah, it’s Xinyan."

"Grandpa Yuan, have you eaten? I brought the program crew here to shoot today."

"Yes, I’ve eaten. I know about the program crew coming to film, but still, you must ensure everyone behaves. The Calligraphy and Painting Association has some important documents and ancient calligraphy and paintings, you should be aware. If they are accidentally damaged, who will be responsible..."

Yuan Hui didn’t care about the cameras for even a moment, and even if seen, he was indifferent, continuing his stern lecturing as usual.

Cao Xinyan, along with Jiang Xiyu, could only listen with a stiff smile while nodding.

The livestream viewers almost laughed themselves silly.

[Yuan Lao, you’re unforgettable, such a straightforward and outspoken elderly man!]

[The previous seniors seemed pretty amiable to the junior Cao Xinyan, it’s amusing to see a senior with a different demeanor appear out of nowhere.]

[And Jiang Xiyu acting all obedient in front of him, what’s that all about?]

...

Behind the screen not far away.

Jiang Lingxi thought everything would be fine with the screen blocking her, never expecting Elder Yuan to return just then.

Moreover, among the guests invited by that program she had encountered earlier, Jiang Xiyu was actually present!

Shen Yunqing’s voice reached her ear, "Should I go hide at the back?"

"No need."

Jiang Lingxi shook her head without thinking, "There’s nothing to hide."

"The more open and frank we are, the less suspicion there will be."

"Even if there is suspicion, so what?"

Hearing this, Qian Yiheng gave a thumbs up to Jiang Lingxi, "I think Miss Jiang is right."

As Yuan Hui finished instructing Cao Xinyan and headed their way, the program team’s camera subtly adjusted its angle.

Before Yuan Hui could question why the screen was positioned there, the next second, it was moved aside, and Jiang Lingxi calmly retracted her hand, nodding at the elder who returned to his seat.

The next second, she casually glanced toward the camera.

The photographer for this shot had the director’s voice urging through his earpiece: "Hold steady!"

Jiang Xiyu’s gaze followed over as well.

Seeing Jiang Lingxi’s face, bare-faced yet still vibrant and glowing, especially feeling the familiar aura subtly pressing toward her, her confident smile froze.

But as soon as she realized who was sitting next to Jiang Lingxi, she almost performed a live transformation right in front of all the audience.

Fortunately, there weren’t many viewers still watching her at the moment, as almost all attention was focused on the two figures sitting side by side.

[Who is that? Are there any fellow viewers hoping to encounter Mr. Shen in the livestream room?]

[Mr. Shen, a real one, oh my, finally see him again, I’ve gone to Yinhe Palace several times recently, unfortunately never ran into him, luckily saw him in this small program!]

[Wake up, above, this is the Calligraphy and Painting Association, common folks like us can’t even enter, let alone encounter anyone.]

[Isn’t anyone suspicious why Jiang Lingxi is with Shen Yunqing? I feel like their seats are much closer to each other than those of the other two at the same table!]

[Hehe, I have a bold guess.]

[I won’t lie, so do I...]
