“However, don’t you think that this is very effective against people who have foul mouths? Come over here and apologize to me now.”
Although the group of students were all very dissatisfied, they had no choice but to walk over to Jiang Yuning and do as requested.
They dragged their costumes behind them as they approached Jiang Yuning before reluctantly apologizing to her.
“Jiang Yuning, you will not be able to seal everyone’s mouth and stop people from talking about you.”
“I don’t care about what you say about me any other day, as long as you are not standing in front of me and speaking ill of me directly to my face. Right now, even if you are dissatisfied, you have no choice but to behave yourselves and apologize to me.”
“You will not be popular forever!”
Jiang Yuning wanted to laugh even harder after hearing that sentence.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning approached that girl who was courageous enough to speak up to her.
“But I am still better than you because you will never have the chance to be popular at all…”
The group of students did not know what else to say to refute Jiang Yuning’s words. When they realize that it was almost time for their performance, they nudged one another and subsequently disappeared from Jiang Yuning’s sight.
A short while later, Yi Fan came out from the washroom and Jiang Yuning acted as though nothing had happened at all. After that, both of them entered the event hall and sat at the guest seats located closest to the stage.
“It felt as though you were talking to someone just a moment ago,” Yi Fan suddenly said to Jiang Yuning as soon as both of them sat down. “Did something happen?”
“No, nothing happened,” Jiang Yuning replied as she smiled.
She was wondering if Lu Jingzhi had already arrived at the gymnasium and she was trying to figure out where he could be seated.
…
The fifth episode of began airing at seven thirty that night.
Since the quality and plot from the first four episodes of the drama were really impressive, everyone switched on their televisions on time even though they did not like Jiang Yuning. They were hoping that Jiang Yuning would not do to much harm to the drama and that the drama would still be as amazing as it was without her participation. Anyway, they could simply ignore Jiang Yuning since she was just the third female lead.
However, everyone was taken aback when they saw Jiang Yuning on the television screen.
Moreover, they discovered that despite Lin Ping’er not talking much, she had a very powerful presence whenever she spoke. They also realized that Jiang Yuning had portrayed the character with so much emotions. What was even better was the fact that Jiang Yuning was really professional when she was treating others with Chinese medicine.
The audience were all amazed and they could not believe how the fifth episode that Jiang Yuning appeared in passed by in the blink of an eye.
[I initially prepared tens of thousands of curse words to criticize Jiang Yuning but after watching the fifth episode, I cannot bring myself to say a single curse word at all.]
[I was really impressed by Jiang Yuning’s acting skills. What is wrong with me?]
[I can finally relax and chase after this drama in peace. The entire drama cast is absolutely amazing. Each and everyone of them has amazing acting skills. This is awesome!]
[No. This cannot be the Short Jiang that I know of.]
[I think we can give Jiang Yuning a rating of 7.0 for her acting skills now.]
At this time, all the audience who were hooked on felt extremely thankful to Jiang Yuning because she did not disappoint them at all.
…
Time passed by quickly and soon, it was already half past eight.
The performances at B University had gone on for more than an hour. Jiang Yuning and Yi Fan were still sitting in the front row along with the rest of the guests.
At this time, a tall man was seated at the last row of the gymnasium.
If he moved forward just a little, his identity would definitely be discovered.
Secretary Ho was very cautious as he sat next to Lu Jingzhi because he was afraid that the principal would be harassed. He had even prepared a secret weapon for Lu Jingzhi—a pair of binoculars.
“Here, principal.”
Lu Jingzhi stared at Secretary Ho before he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his little descendant. “I am sitting in the last row, all the way at the back of the hall, okay?”
Jiang Yuning could not help but look to the back of the hall as soon as she received the text message from Lu Jingzhi. However, it was simply impossible for Jiang Yuning to be able to spot Lu Jingzhi because they were both simply too far apart. Forget it. Jiang Yuning knew that it was not easy for Lu Jingzhi to appear at this kind of events and that it would be really troublesome if anyone found out that he was here.
Moreover, she just needed Lu Jingzhi to listen to her song.
As soon as she thought about this, Jiang Yuning sent a reply to Lu Jingzhi immediately. “Yes, Second Brother. That will not be an issue. Make sure you protect yourself!”
Lu Jingzhi turned off his cell phone after he read Jiang Yuning’s reply. After that, Secretary Ho suddenly handed him a piece of paper that the students had thrown aside. It was the list containing the order of performances for the night.
“Principal, take a look at this so you can find out when the young mistress will be performing.”
Lu Jingzhi looked at the list as he looked for Jiang Yuning’s name. He eventually saw the words ‘Jiang Yuning’ and that the title of the song that she would be performing was called ‘Holding Hearts’.
As soon as he saw those words, Lu Jingzhi suddenly thought of the night they had both exchanged their wedding rings.
His right hand naturally touched the wedding ring that he had on his ring finger on his left hand.
It turned out that this was the gift the little descendant wanted to give him.
“Principal, it seems as though the young mistress wants to sing a song for you.”
“Mm…” Lu Jingzhi had a straight expression on his face but this did not meant that he was not feeling nervous at all. He was feeling this way precisely because he knew how Jiang Yuning felt about him.
Another hour passed by very quickly and at this time, the school staff approached Jiang Yuning to remind her that it was time for her to go backstage to change and prepare for her performance.
“I will go with you. It’s about time for me to leave anyway.” At this time, Yi Fan followed after Jiang Yuning as the both of them stood up and left their seats.
“Alright.”
At this time, Jiang Yuning knew nothing about what was going to happen soon. After all, she would never have imagined that the person that she regarded as her friend, the person who was her roommate, would actually be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Both of them returned to the resting lounge under the guidance of the school staff member.
After Yi Fan left the resting lounge, Jiang Yuning was not greeted with the arrival of the makeup artist.
Instead, she was greeted by two men dressed in clown costumes.
The two men grabbed hold of Jiang Yuning’s hands as soon as they entered through the door. They tried to cover her mouth so that they could knock her out and make her unconscious. However, these two men did not know that Jiang Yuning had learned hand combat and that she knew how to defend herself. As soon as the men grabbed hold of her, Jiang Yuning stepped on one of the men’s foot using her high heels and when he let go of her, she quickly threw the other man over her shoulder.
The other man quickly ran forward to subdue Jiang Yuning but she kicked him in the knee immediately without any hesitation at all.
The two men cried out in pain and they could not resist or fight Jiang Yuning at all.
After all, they were merely students from the university and this was the first time they were doing such things. In the end, Jiang Yuning tied both of the students up using a belt that she found in the dressing room.
Very soon, the school staff member entered the resting lounge to find out why Jiang Yuning was taking such a long time to get changed.
As soon as the staff member opened the door, he was surprised to see Jiang Yuning and the two men that were tied up in the resting lounge.
The school staff member was stunned and in shock at what he was witnessing.
“Call the police!”
Jiang Yuning instructed the staff immediately.
After regaining his senses, the school staff called the police as he spoke to Jiang Yuning: “Miss Jiang, please get ready now. It is almost time for your performance.”
Jiang Yuning did not feel at ease. Therefore, she called Vera and the young paparazzo, then waited in the resting lounge until both of them arrived at the scene.
After all, she did not trust anyone in B University at all.
Vera and the young paparazzo arrived at the resting lounge about two minutes later. Both of them were shocked when they saw the scene before them. “What happened here?”
“Sister Yuning, you have to go and perform first. You are already late.”
