After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows
Chapter 607 - 597: Why So Confident?

Chapter 607: Chapter 597: Why So Confident?

"Go back and rest well." Jiang Lingxi rubbed Xu Ling’an’s head and instructed softly, then leaned in and lowered her voice, "By the way, tell Zhang Ye to keep an eye on the old man."

"I understand, sister."

When Zhang Nachuan walked up to Jiang Lingxi, he hesitated for a moment.

Looking at this girl who was just a few years older than his granddaughter, his expression was more complicated than ever.

This was the one who helped him reunite with his granddaughter lost for over ten years, but also personally sent his beloved granddaughter of nearly thirty years to prison.

For a moment, he really didn’t know how to face it.

Jiang Lingxi met his gaze, unhurriedly nodded slightly, "Take care, old man, and mind your health."

An’an’s biological father is still uncertain if he’s dead or alive, so as her biological grandfather, it’s best if he’s strong enough to accompany the child a few more years.

In the end, Zhang Nachuan didn’t say anything and left with the bodyguards accompanying the grandparents out.

Tong Yue also tactfully took her leave, "I’ll go back and tell Zhengzheng and the others, they’ve probably been worried since I haven’t returned for so long." Simultaneously, she swallowed the usual nickname ’baby’ she’d grown accustomed to using over this period.

Since Jiang Lingxi was backed by Shao Entertainment and her professional skills improved noticeably, she once privately called her ’baby’ and felt it was better than calling her ’Xiaoxi’, so she kept using it.

But now, looking at those eyes which, although had withdrawn their aura, still retained some intensity, she inexplicably couldn’t bring herself to say ’baby’ anymore.

"Alright."

Next was the first elder son’s turn, "I’ll leave the lounge to the two of you as well, I’m heading out."

Jiang Lingxi politely nodded, "It was a trouble for you, first elder son, about this matter."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," the first elder son hastily waved his hand, "It’s my duty."

As soon as he was outside, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, "Finally, it’s resolved!"

Luckily, luckily that Xu Miss, though injured, was not too badly hurt.

Otherwise, he truly dared not imagine what would await the three who were involved in the scheme.

"Big brother, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you for a while." Seeing his brother’s figure, the second elder son hurriedly ran over, only to notice his brother’s forehead full of sweat when he got closer. Looking at the tightly closed lounge door behind him, his mind instantly wandered, "You..."

Meeting eyes with his younger brother, the first elder son guessed that whatever his brother was about to say wouldn’t be good. In an instant, he raised his hand to cover his brother’s mouth, "You better keep quiet. Inside are Mr. Shen and Miss Jiang, what nonsense are you thinking with that pig brain of yours!"

The second elder son widened his eyes and hastily nodded, then pushed his brother’s hand away, "No wonder I didn’t see Mr. Shen and Miss Jiang outside, turns out they went to rest. Just now, Miss Gu, the eldest lady of the Gu Family, even asked me about them. Brother, I didn’t expect Miss Gu to be so persistent, she wouldn’t actually want to pursue Shen..."

Not two minutes after loosening his grip, the mouth was covered again, and this time the first elder son didn’t go easy on his brother, patting his back several times, "You better keep that mouth of yours quiet. By the way, I think it’s necessary to give you some advice."

The second elder son blinked, a small question mark appearing on his forehead.

The first elder son took a deep breath and looked at his brother seriously, "Remember, don’t provoke anyone but especially not Miss Jiang."

"... Brother, are you sure you didn’t mean Mr. Shen, right? You didn’t need to tell me that, I already know."

"No, I didn’t misspeak, I meant Miss Jiang. Even if you accidentally anger Mr. Shen, there might still be some room for negotiation, but if you provoke Miss Jiang, you’ll be wiped out."

If there weren’t any surveillance in the lounge, the first elder son would’ve let his brother, who’s always been loose-lipped, experience the suffocating feeling of Mount Tai’s pressure that he felt from Jiang Lingxi earlier!

"..."

What the heck has his brother gone through in this short time?

*

Inside the lounge.

Jiang Lingxi gently leaned her back against the sofa, closed her eyes slightly, and lifted a hand to pinch her temples.

Feeling a rustling movement beside her, before she turned to look, she sensed two slightly cool fingers landing on her temple, pressing and massaging with moderate force.

The head, previously heated from anger, began to cool down slowly making her unable to suppress a comfortable sigh.

"Yunqing."

"I’m here."

"Fools are truly terrifying, and their actions are extremely harmful."

Shen Yunqing: "...Agreed!"

"Have you noticed, An’an has been through a lot of hardships, and this time she suffered partly on my behalf, just like Jin’an..."

The latter part of the sentence remained unsaid, but the other person in the room understood, and was the only one who could understand.

"Therefore, I plan to take her to the temple to burn some incense before the New Year. Since you have good relations with Wu Jue, do you know if there’s any temple around the Imperial City that’s particularly effective for ensuring safety?"

"...I’ll ask him next time."

They chatted aimlessly for a while, and Jiang Lingxi felt her mood had returned from the low-pressure state to normal, gesturing as she straightened up to indicate she had fully recovered.

"We’ve been gone long enough, the banquet should be ending soon, let’s head out and mingle."

The two of them left the lounge one after the other.

Gu Qiantong, who had been keeping an eye on Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing’s whereabouts, quickly received a report that they had emerged from the same lounge, causing her expression to darken.

Growing up in the competitive environment of the Gu Family, yet being valued by the patriarch enough to personally choose Shen Yunqing, a Family Head of such a prominent lineage, as a future grandson-in-law, Gu Qiantong had a tenacious character ingrained in her.

If Jiang Lingxi were just a typical, vain little star, Gu Qiantong had thousands of means to discretely eliminate her.

Even if the other party genuinely possessed commendable character and attractive traits, for her, it would simply mean a slightly increased difficulty.

But the real Jiang Lingxi, whom she encountered, differed from any of the above.

This was a woman who shattered all her preconceived notions of women.

Clearly, just a small celebrity in the entertainment industry, without any remarkable family background, even considered tragic, not yet graduated from college.

Such a status couldn’t even measure up to an average family, leaving a normal person likely to feel some inferiority.

This had nothing to do with physical appearance.

But from Jiang Lingxi, she couldn’t feel a shred of inferiority; her poise and aura seemed innate, powerfully captivating. When directly facing this aura, even beauty seemed insignificant.

A person, what exactly allows them to possess such a formidable confidence!

This is what she couldn’t comprehend at all.

However, facing an equally matched opponent would be even more interesting, wouldn’t it, and winning would bring greater satisfaction!

"Compile the stats, how much have my followers and popularity on major platforms increased? How much more to go to catch up with Jiang Lingxi?"

Since the entertainment industry is Jiang Lingxi’s career, she wanted to see how Jiang Lingxi would handle being faced with a higher-level outright suppression!
