At noon that day, Millennium Entertainment and the Lu family simultaneously released news of Lu Zongye and Huo Yuxi’s upcoming wedding. The news of their wedding was not a surprise to the public, given the recent news of Huo Yuxi’s pregnancy.
However, the netizens were still extremely curious. Lu Zongye and Huo Yuxi’s relationship was not something to be proud of, and yet they were still making their wedding such a high-profile event. Were the afraid that everyone would not know that their relationship was built by hurting someone else?
However, since Millennium Entertainment had already made a huge announcement about Huo Yuxi’s wedding, all the artistes in the entertainment industry could only show their love and support for the top actress.
Huo Yuxi: I am so shy right now! Thank you for all the blessing and kind wishes. We are doing very well. // @Ai Li: Congratulations to Sister Yuxi on her everlasting happiness and bliss! // @Millennium Entertainment: It was really a fateful meeting and blessing for the couple.
When Jiang Yuning saw the show that Huo Yuxi and Millennium Entertainment had put on, she felt relieved that she was not the person with the thickest skin in the entertainment industry. Huo Yuxi really had no shame at all!
There were also others who were not exactly happy because they were on Jiang Yuning’s side.
[Can someone please destroy the scumbag male and female already?]
[Jiang Yuning lost the battle in the end. Huo Yuxi is not only victorious, she has been upgraded from her status as the third party.]
[This entire situation is even more disgusting because of the fact that they are sisters! Looks like we have to give them our blessings in the end. Smooth…]
[Although I do not like Jiang Yuning, the fact that Huo Yuxi stole her own stepsister’s fiancé is really disgusting! Huo Yuxi must go down!]
[Jiang Yuning is actually quite pitiful. She has already lost her job, and she has now lost her fiancé to her stepsister. Furthermore, her reputation is totally ruined.]
Jiang Yuning could not help but have a headache after reading through all the comments on the internet.
She did not know that the netizens viewed her so pitifully.
Millennium Entertainment was also not stupid. As they knew that Huo Yuxi’s wedding would be a huge event, they also bought several hot searches for that news. Even though Huo Yuxi was initially a third party in this relationship, as long as she married into the Lu family, she would be given a clean slate and a clean reputation once again. Therefore, Millennium Entertainment did not miss out on the opportunity to further advertise and promote their own entertainment agency.
Jiang Yuning read through a few of the hot searches that appeared on her site and then finally decided to turn off her laptop after confirming that Millennium Entertainment had not released any unnecessary news concerning her. She guessed that Huo Yuxi’s agent was being cautious and did not dare to make any stupid moves because he knew that Jiang Yuning had a handle on Huo Yuxi.
…
On the other hand, Li Shutong and Fu Yahui had also agreed to meet up privately to further discuss the details of the wedding banquet. However, this time, Fu Yahui did not inform Jiang Yuning about the meeting out of fear that the discussion would turn out the way it had the other day.
“Mommy, will Yuning really not release the news about my private affairs to the media?” Huo Yuxi quickly asked Fu Yahui before they headed out of the mountain villa. Huo Yuxi had been worried about this matter for the past two days and the more she thought about it, the more she felt as though she could not breathe.
“You can stop worrying about it. Yuning will not expose any more of your secrets,” Fu Yahui replied calmly. “I wil find the perfect opportunity to get Yuning to get rid of all that evidence she has against you. After all, you will already be married into the Lu family by then.”
“Thank you, mommy!” Huo Yuxi replied with a smile on her face. “Mommy, daddy called me earlier today. He congratulated me and told me that he was going to transfer three percent of his shares in Dongheng Enterprise to me as a wedding gift.”
“What?” Fu Yahui’s expression changed immediately.
“What is the matter, mommy?”
Fu Yahui opened her mouth but could not say anything because she knew very well that Dongheng Enterprise had only come this far because she had stolen and plundered off all the money that belonged to the Jiang family.
After all, the Huo family’s shares only accounted for about sixteen percent of Dongheng Enterprise’s total shares. Furthermore, ten percent of the shares was given by Fu Yahui to Huo Zhendong because of their marital relationship and now, he was going to transfer three percent of his shares to Huo Yuxi?
She did not even give any shares to her own biological daughter!
However, Fu Yahui decided not to say anything despite being furious, as the shares given to Huo Yuxi belonged to her husband anyway. However, she would have to be extremely careful and make sure that Jiang Yuning would never find out about this.
…
Jiang Yuning sat on the balcony of the villa in the middle of the afternoon as she studied the script for the upcoming youth drama, <Backlight> while waiting for an audition notice from Guangying Media.
It had already been more than twenty days since she hit the rock bottom of her career after news that her engagement to Lu Zongye was annulled was released. It seemed as though she would have to work hard and start from scratch all over again.
Jiang Yuning made a phone call to the young paparazzo. “I will be auditioning for a role in an upcoming youth drama by Guangying Media. If I pass the audition, I will need a personal assistant to help me. Are you interested to work for me?”
“Sister Yuning, are you making a comeback?” the young paparazzo asked excitedly.
“I was invited to audition for a role in the youth drama, but I may not necessarily get the role. However, if I get the role that I audition for, would you like to help me and become my personal assistant?” Jiang Yuning asked. She was at ease because she liked and trusted this young boy.
“I would love to, but what should I tell Brother Ku Jie?”
“I will inform him if you are willing to help me,” Jiang Yuning said as she laughed. “All you need to do is let me know whether you want to become my personal assistant.”
“Yes! Yes. Of course, I would love too. I always knew that you were going to be an international star one day. Now, I will be able to get as many autographs as I want from you…”
This silly boy was still going on and on about getting her autograph.
“As soon as he comes back, I will let him know that you will be working for me in future.”
“Yay! Long live Sister Yuning!”
Jiang Yuning hung up on the call soon after he started cheering excitedly for her. Was he not overreacting a little?
Jiang Yuning then decided that it was a good idea to inform her brother about her plans immediately and quickly dialled Ku Jie’s phone number. However, Ku Jie assumed that Jiang Yuning was calling him to ask for information about the butler that used to work for the Jiang family. Thus, the first thing that Ku Jie did upon answering was to tell her the information on and address of the butler. “This is the information that you have requested earlier.”
“Brother, what do you think of the butler who used to work for the Jiang family?” Jiang Yuning suddenly asked. She had completely forgotten that the reason she called Ku Jie was because of the young paparazzo.
“I do not think that he has a good character,” Ku Jie replied. After all, every time he showed up at the Jiang family in the past, the butler had never once greeted him but had always treated him disrespectfully. This was because the butler regarded him as one of the Jiang family’s poorer relatives and therefore looked down on Ku Jie.
“If you feel this way too, then I really have to examine how he has mistreated everyone that I care for and are important to me,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious tone.
“Okay then. I am about to board my plane. We will discuss everything else when I get back home.”
Jiang Yuning hung up the phone and only then did she recall that she was supposed to discuss matters regarding the young paparazzo with Ku Jie.
She felt apologetic towards the young paparazzo but there was nothing else she could do then but to wait for Ku Jie to return from the United States.
At seven o’clock that night, the sound of the car engine could be heard outside the villa.
Jiang Yuning’s heartbeat increased rapidly because she knew that she was going to see Lu Jingzhi very soon. Even though she saw Lu Jingzhi every day, she did not know why she was still so excited and full of expectations every time he came home.
The front door of the villa was pushed open in the next second and Lu Jingzhi walked straight into the living room. He eyed Jiang Yuning suspiciously when he saw her sitting on the sofa staring at him with the drama script in her hand.
“Sister Liang, you do not have to prepare dinner for us today. We are going out to eat,” Jiang Yuning said as she put down the script and quickly got up from the sofa. She strode over to Lu Jingzhi and held tightly onto his hand as she said, “Second brother, there is somewhere that I want to go with you tonight.”
“You have already found the butler who used to work for the Jiang family?” Lu Jingzhi guessed.
“Yes, and I am going over to deal with him right now!” Jiang Yuning said as she pulled Lu Jingzhi out to the car.
After getting into the car, Lu Jingzhi closed the car door only to hear the sound of Jiang Yuning’s stomach growling. He opened the car door again and said, “Let us have dinner first before heading over to the butler’s house.”
“No. I cannot wait any longer,” Jiang Yuning said as she leaned against Lu Jingzhi and pulled the car door shut again.
