Chapter 590: Chapter 580: The Road Is Just Too Narrow

Although technically all the invited artists could bring someone along.

In reality, not that many choose to do so, most come alone.

After all, everyone has a competitive nature, don’t they?

If there are too many juniors present, it’s only natural to compare and see whose child is more successful.

If your child surpasses others, it’s a victory, but if not, both the child and parents feel uncomfortable.

Just like the granddaughter of the old man who just asked Jiang Lingxi for a signed photo, thinking about facing the tests from the old artists her grandfather knows, she reluctantly gave up the chance to meet her favorite star face-to-face.

Therefore, to be brought along, one must be outstanding enough.

Otherwise, it’s really embarrassing in such a setting!

Yuan Hui also knew well, Jiang Lingxi has her own skills and is acknowledged by everyone present, so there was no hesitation in bringing her in.

Previously, when Cao Xinyan came with her grandfather, as the granddaughter most cherished by Chairman Cao, who taught her calligraphy and painting from a young age, she naturally showed off a little and received praise from several elders.

That’s why Chairman Cao would ask such a question now.

Yet, saying this actually made Cao Xinyan more nervous.

Her grandfather didn’t know Jiang Lingxi’s capabilities, but she had seen Jiang Lingxi’s work with her own eyes, and she even made a big gaffe that she didn’t dare to mention when she got home.

If her grandfather got excited and wanted her to compete with Jiang Lingxi...

Imagining the possible social death she might face, she paused, "Grandpa, let me brew some tea for the elders to taste."

Even though she had practiced calligraphy and painting exceptionally hard recently, her confidence hadn’t recovered since the blow earlier. To avoid a meltdown, she chose to take a different path.

She had been learning tea brewing since she was a child, and even studied under a famous tea master.

She didn’t believe Jiang Lingxi could best her in that!

Chairman Cao watched his granddaughter lift her skirt and walk toward the tea table, feeling like she was fleeing in defeat.

When he finally received the much-passed-around signed photo, looking at the three bold characters with casual yet sharp strokes, he paused and nodded, "A worthy young rival!"

Returning the photo, he looked again at his granddaughter brewing tea earnestly at the tea table, suddenly realizing why she avoided Jiang Lingxi.

She didn’t want to humiliate herself!

Yuan Hui also finally explained to everyone that Jiang Lingxi was not his disciple.

He would like to take her as one, but he’d need something to teach her.

Not to mention, her boyfriend is Mr. Shen.

There’s no need to take a detour to find him.

He knew this much.

Just like how that girl from the Cao Family wisely chose to avoid him and make tea elsewhere!

The fragrant tea scent wafted around.

Yuan Hui took the teacup Cao Xinyan handed over, sipped it, and nodded, "The tea is good."

Old Cao’s granddaughter does have some merits.

In the midst of the praises, Cao Xinyan finally looked triumphantly in Jiang Lingxi’s direction.

Jiang Lingxi, who was busy messaging Shen Yunqing to ask if he had set off: Sorry, didn’t catch that!

As the event was about to start, the corridor outside the lounge was bustling.

Zhang Lingxuan absent-mindedly holding Second Young Master Hou’s arm stepped out of the elevator, checking her phone for messages when suddenly there was a ripping sound.

She didn’t bother to check her dad’s messages anymore and lowered her phone to look at her feet.

Her elegant pointed high heels stepped on a piece of grayish pink tulle.

She looked up, meeting the furious face of the person in front.

"Do you not watch where you’re going?"

For some unknown reason, looking at this young and pretty face, Zhang Lingxuan felt an unexplainable dislike. Without thinking, she shot back, "It’s not the red carpet yet. If your dress is so long, you should lift it, not drag it around like a mop. Don’t blame others for stepping on it."

"I like dragging it around. What’s it to you?" Jiang Xiyu didn’t get an apology, and the gauze in her dress was still under the other’s foot. Seeing the torn gauze made her furious, and she venomously said after sizing up the woman, "A middle-aged woman still wearing such gaudy makeup, tight dresses exposing your arms, with belly fat showing. Who gave you the courage!"

Zhang Lingxuan already disliked her makeup and dress today, but since her father insisted she appease Second Young Master Hou, who liked this style, she wore it reluctantly.

Now, being attacked on her most sensitive point, her suppressed emotions burst out uncontrollably, and she lunged at her, "I’ll tear your mouth apart for saying that!"

Second Young Master Hou and Mr. Han, who hadn’t even exchanged pleasantries yet, saw their companion suddenly start fighting: "..."

The event hadn’t even started, and she was already embarrassing them?

"Enough, stop fighting. Keep it up, and I’ll have you kicked out!"

There’s no shortage of anything else, but companions? They could make one call, and a bunch of people would come.

Who even cares!

Both women were startled into letting go, and they still managed to scratch each other’s faces.

Their nails full of foundation were disgustingly thick.

Zhang Lingxuan: "Haha!"

The elevator doors opened again.

Zhang Nachuan looked at his granddaughter beside him, "If you get bored later, go next door and play with Miss Jiang. The lounges shouldn’t be too far apart."

Yuan Sanshao, who had just gone down to pick someone up, also spoke with a smile, "Isn’t the Miss Jiang Mr. Zhang mentioned the young Miss Jiang Lingxi? What a coincidence, Miss Jiang is here with Mr. Yuan, they’re resting in the same lounge."

"Yuan Hui?"

"Yes."

Then the three of them heard Zhang Lingxuan’s "haha."

Zhang Nachuan recognized the familiar voice and turned to see his disheveled eldest granddaughter looking like a madwoman.

"Zhang Lingxuan, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Lingxuan was so stunned her mind went blank, and it took her several seconds to regain control of her hands, hurriedly smoothing her hair, "Grandpa, I..."

"Mr. Zhang, it’s an honor to meet you." Although Second Young Master Hou had some peculiar tastes, he had great respect for an old artist like Zhang Nachuan. Having Zhang Lingxuan by his side, the granddaughter’s identity added to her appeal. He extended his hand willingly, "Lingxuan is with me. Soon, I might be able to call Mr. Zhang grandfather."

Seeing the famously feisty person in the circle, Zhang Nachuan felt his blood rush to his head, his face turning red and dark—his blood pressure visibly spiking without a monitor.

Was Zhang Anfeng deliberately going against him!

Zhang Lingxuan sensed trouble and quickly explained, "Grandpa, it was Dad who forced me..."

Zhang Nachuan slapped away her reaching hand, gritting his teeth as he reprimanded, "I have no son. Stop claiming undeserved grandfathers here."

He grabbed Xu Ling’an’s hand and charged forward, "An’an, let’s go!"
