After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows
Chapter 592 - 582: Cooing Someone Away, Jiang Lingxi Didn’t Come?

Chapter 592: Chapter 582: Cooing Someone Away, Jiang Lingxi Didn’t Come?

"What time is it?"

"Madam, there’s less than a quarter of an hour until five o’clock."

"The Shen Family’s lounge still hasn’t been opened?"

"...No, I guess it’ll be empty again this year."

After these words fell, inside the lounge, aside from Tang Jiaoyun, including Bai Shengyu, whose face was still pale from recovering from injuries, the other members of the Bai Family couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

They truly did not want to clash with the Shen Family, especially now that they were retreating step by step.

But since the Bai Family was under the old lady’s rule, who held the shares and connections left behind by the late patriarch,

if the old lady insisted on her way, they could only follow with gritted teeth.

On occasions like today, it’s best to avoid confrontation if possible.

But they clearly relaxed a bit too soon.

There were only ten minutes left before the event started.

Outside the partially open door of the Bai Family’s lounge, there suddenly came a voice that was extremely warm but not fawning, "Mr. Shen, your lounge is this way."

The room was suddenly startled.

The youngest son of the Bai Family’s main branch was the first to lose his composure. He quickly walked to the door, pulled it open, and peeked out.

He only saw a tall, dark figure.

But the one leading the way was none other than the eldest son of the Yuan Family, the already designated next-generation heir.

If he came to personally escort someone, it’s obvious which Mr. Shen was being welcomed.

"He’s coming, he’s really coming!"

Tang Jiaoyun almost couldn’t resist throwing her cane at him, "It’s just someone coming, no need to make such a fuss. Get back and sit down properly!"

Inside the Shen Family’s lounge.

After leading the person inside, the eldest son of the Yuan Family should have left wisely, as he felt that the person in front of him didn’t seem happy.

But his curiosity was too great.

Originally, he thought Mr. Shen would be coming with his confidante Miss Jiang, and he even prepared things for two people in this lounge.

But he recently learned from his third brother that Miss Jiang had arrived, but not with Mr. Shen; she was with the elder patriarch instead.

Just when he thought Mr. Shen might not show up like in previous years, the man actually came!

It completely puzzled him.

Are these two playing some mysterious game, or are they trying to confuse the Bai Family’s old lady this way?

After Shen Yunqing sat down and saw the person still standing there, "Did you have more to discuss, Mr. Yuan?"

"Ah, no..."

After coming out, the eldest son of the Yuan Family stood quietly at the door for a few seconds.

He hadn’t even had the chance to ask anything, and ended up coming out so timidly!

*

Jiang Lingxi was resting her chin in thought at this moment.

What made her ponder was something Xu Ling’an said earlier.

"Maybe brother-in-law also wants to appear on the red carpet with sister."

She had considered many things at the time but seemed to have forgotten to ask Shen Yunqing if he wanted to walk the red carpet with her.

Wanting and needing are two different things!

Xu Ling’an brought back two cups of coffee and saw her sister suddenly stand up from the recliner.

"Sister?"

Jiang Lingxi took a sip of the coffee handed to her and left it on the small table beside her, "An’an, I’m heading out for a bit."

"The event is about to start."

"It’s fine, there’s still time."

She had already been informed by the elder that the organizers had rearranged the appearance order for them.

Although there wasn’t time to change the appearance list, some things could still be done.

Xu Ling’an watched as her sister’s skirt almost fluttered away, took a sip of her own coffee, "Too much sugar, too sweet!"

Jiang Lingxi didn’t know exactly where the Shen Family’s lounge was, but she walked inward anyway.

"Why is a beautiful lady alone?"

"Move aside! Wait, which way is the Shen Family’s lounge?"

The man trying to flirt immediately sobered up, "Shen, Shen Family?"

"With the water radical character."

"The very end."

Watching the beauty walk away, the man took a cold breath, "Daring to approach the Shen Family’s person, that’s gutsy!"

The sound of knocking echoed.

Shen Yunqing was about to say to come in directly, but remembered the previous knocking pattern in time and quickly put down his phone to open the door.

But the person standing outside couldn’t wait any longer, and simply pushed open the slightly ajar door and walked in.

"I haven’t had the chance to ask you yet..."

"The makeup on my face can’t be messed up, but I have a lipstick in my handbag..."

*

At exactly five o’clock.

The previously randomly switching live broadcast cameras instantly all focused on the red carpet.

The cameras, emblazoned with the logos of various media outlets, were poised to shoot.

The live broadcast chat filled up again.

[It’s finally starting!]

[I’ve been waiting ages, luckily it’s on time.]

[Let me see who’s coming out first!]

[Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely Jiang Lingxi with the least star power.]

Just as this comment appeared, the red carpet host announced loudly with a microphone, "Let’s welcome the soulful singer Xu Yin and the new talented star Jiang Kaiyuan."

Spotlights followed, and with the host’s announcement, the two figures appeared under the lights and cameras.

Xu Yin held Jiang Kaiyuan’s arm as they faced the cameras, smiling and waving.

But in reality, they were whispering to each other.

"I wonder when Sister Xi will be on stage. It’s been so long since I’ve seen her."

While Jiang Kaiyuan’s anticipation was pure, Xu Yin’s feelings were more complex.

She had also guessed that Jiang Lingxi might be the first one on stage.

Yet she hadn’t expected that it would be her name announced.

And their friend She Man, who also played a major role in "Yuanzhao Empress" and won a major Actress award, wasn’t even on the list this time.

Back when they filmed "We Travel Together," Jiang Lingxi had the least star power and was almost unknown, and she had a major falling out in the middle. Yet, in less than a year, she’s risen to prominence, with a promising future.

It’s truly hard not to feel complicated!

"We’ll see her once we’re inside the venue."

"True, hopefully, the organizers will arrange a seat closer to ours."

The live broadcast comments were also filled with shock.

[The first one on the red carpet isn’t Jiang Lingxi!]

[Although Xu Yin’s popularity isn’t as high as Jiang Lingxi’s, she’s firmly established in the music world, and Jiang Kaiyuan recently transitioned successfully, his popularity isn’t weak. Yet, they are placed before Jiang Lingxi, it’s confusing how the organizers arranged this.]

[The host is already announcing the name of the second person.]

[Still not Jiang Lingxi!]

...

The red carpet was dazzling, with flashing lights continuously.

But whether watching the live broadcast or photographing on the scene, everyone was already obsessed.

They just wanted to know where Jiang Lingxi ranked in the lineup.

It seemed like the celebrity procession was about to end!

"Next, please welcome Director Wei Xiao and the talented young actress Wei Minmin as the finale of the first row of the red carpet!"

[What is going on?]

[Is the entertainment circle done? Jiang Lingxi didn’t come?]

[In such a major event, she can actually bear not attending?]

[I need to go and ask Jiang Lingxi and her agent on their accounts, what are they thinking? Do they not plan to stay in the entertainment industry!]
