novelI Feel as Though I'm Choking on Sugar
| ← Ch.420 | Ch.422 → |
[You can already tell with just one glance that our Empress Jiang is an ambitious and career minded woman. I bet that she is only focusing on her career now!]
[I don't think that someone that young would be able to tie Jiang Yuning down. If that rumor is true, I would even change my own surname!]
[I feel that Jiang Yuning is only taking care of Su Jinhang the same way she had taken care of Tong Tong and Jin Mingcheng in the past. She is simply treating them like her younger brother and making sure that they feel welcomed and comfortable among the other guests. ]
[I can accept the love line between the both of them in the drama, but definitely not in reality!]
[Somehow, I feel as though Jiang Yuning treats Su Jinhang differently. She even helped him get rid of a former film emperor that was standing in his way! Doesn't that seem a little suspicious to you?]
[Let's be more discreet and not make any assumptions before the parties involved say anything about this matter. ]
It turned out that the netizens were not interested to dig into any negative material on Su Jinhang at the moment.
However, Jiang Yuning had a feeling that the time was coming.
Later that evening, Jiang Yuning drove from Royal Dragon Villa to the Lu family mansion by herself without Vera or the young paparazzo. However, halfway through the journey, Jiang Yuning suddenly realized that she was being followed by the paparazzi.
Alright then. Since they were trying so hard, then Jiang Yuning would give them the chance to get some juicy information. She could also use this as a way to appease the kind of jealousy by letting him know that she was still obediently going back to the Lu family mansion for dinner even though she was involved in a scandal with Su Jinhang.
The paparazzi managed to keep a very close distance with Jiang Yuning's car, perhaps because Jiang Yuning had deliberately slowed down to give them the opportunity to film her clearly.
This was especially so when she was nearing the Lu family mansion. Jiang Yuning deliberately slowed down her car and waited for the paparazzi to take a few pictures of her before she drove through the gate of the Lu family mansion.
The paparazzi were shocked when they finally realized where they were at the moment.
Did they capture some amazing news that could make the headlines?
At this time, the paparazzi were all very excited and they immediately released the pictures that they had taken onto the internet.
~Jiang Yuning entered the Lu family mansion in a low-key manner. Is she attending a family gathering?~
In the pictures and videos, everyone could see that Jiang Yuning was all alone when she entered the Lu family mansion.
Didn't the netizens said that their focus would be on the love line between Su Jinhang and Jiang Yuning?
But how could Jiang Yuning enter and leave the Lu family mansion so freely?
[Wow! Jiang Yuning is entering the Lu family mansion so freely! Will there be any drama because of this? However, the fact that the Lu family have close relations with the Jiang family all along is old news to the public. ]
[Just look at our little fairy. She is dressed up in really casual clothing and she entered through the gate of the Lu family mansion so easily. Is the butler already very familiar with her?]
[Our little fairy is childhood friends with Lu Jingzhi! I wonder if he is in the Lu family mansion now?]
[Is Jiang Yuning trying to use the Lu family to create hype for herself?]
[If Empress Jiang had really wanted to use the Lu family to draw attention to herself, she would have done so a long time ago. Would she need to be so low-profile now?]
[Exactly! Empress Jiang has never once mentioned or brought up her relationship to the Lu family in public. She has a very good attitude and personality. ]
[Hahaha! How could there possibly be a love line between Su Jinhang and Jiang Yuning? I think that anyone who could be so close to someone like Lu Jingzhi would never go for young amen such as Su Jinhang anymore. ]
[I agree! After all, Empress Jiang is really close to the Lu family. ]
[I think that we should keep our opinions to ourselves because we really cannot afford to offend the Lu family. All that we know for sure is that our little fairy went over to the Lu family mansion for dinner. Let's try not to make this into a big issue. ]
[I think that even if Empress Jiang is considering marriage, she would not consider anyone from the entertainment industry. After all, with her net worth and her connections with the Lu family, I think that it is perfectly possible for Jiang Yuning to find a good man. ]
[I do not know why I feel as though I'm choking on sugar!]
[Hahaha. I remember you! You have always been a fan of new love lines and relationships!] ...
The butler led Jiang Yuning into the living room as soon as she arrived at the Lu family mansion.
At this time, Lu Jingqi who was sitting on the sofa in the living room suddenly stood up excitedly when he saw Jiang Yuning stepping into the living room."Sister Yuning..."
"Yuning, you are here, " Third Uncle Lu greeted Jiang Yuning amicably when he saw his son's reaction.
"Hello Third Uncle, Jingqi and Sister Jingshu, " Jiang Yuning greeted politely.
"Jingzhi is on a business trip, " Third Uncle Lu suddenly told Jiang Yuning at this time.
"Yes, I know, Third Uncle, " Jiang Yuning replied once again.
"However, I am certain that you will not know that the kid said something like this: "I will not be able to make it back home for the family dinner but I will ask Yuning to attend the dinner on my behalf. I can tell that Jingzhi is already treating you as part of the family." Third Uncle Lu was very excited as he tried to put in a few good words for Lu Jingzhi.
At this time, Jiang Yuning could only look at Chen Jingshu as both of them smiled secretly.
A short while later, the few of them sat down at the dinner table and it seemed as though Third Uncle Lu had been tasked with the responsibility of checking the progress between the young couple. Therefore, he kept asking Jiang Yuning for more details of their dates together.
Jiang Yuning replied truthfully that they had both not gone out on any dates. This was not a lie as it was almost impossible for them to go out on a regular date because of their identities. Even though they had both already lived together for almost a year, the only time that they had together was usually at night as they would usually be busy during the day.
"That kid! Doesn't he know how to bring a girl on a date at all?" Third Uncle Lu asked in shock."It's okay, Yuning. Third Uncle will help you to educate him when he comes home."
"By the way, Third Uncle... I think that I was photographed by the media and the paparazzi on my way to the Lu family mansion. I am afraid that the Lu family will be dragged into the news because of me."
"What is the big deal? You are here for a family dinner. What can the media write about that? Both the Lu family and the Jiang families have always been on good terms and share a good relationship with one another. The media and paparazzi can write whatever they want to in the tabloids. Don't worry about it."
Third Uncle Lu was very open minded.
Jiang Yuning smiled as she turned around to look at Lu Jingqi. At this time, Third Uncle Lu suddenly spoke up again.
"You should try to drop by here more often. This little boy had been throwing tantrums and refusing to eat his dinner lately but he is very obedient today because you are here."
"Has Second Brother... arranged for Jingqi's medical check-up?" Jiang Yuning asked, with concern written all over her face.
"Yes." Third Uncle Lu replied as he shook his head."The result is still the same."
Jiang Yuning thought about it for a short while before she put down her chopsticks and asked Third Uncle Lu: "Then... would you like to try Chinese medicine instead? Third uncle Lu, you should also know that my grandfather has a close friend who is a very old and skilful Chinese physician. I studied Chinese medicine and traditional herbs under him for a short while too. I think that we should be hopeful and we should bring Jingqi to him. Who knows if Chinese medicine might actually work for him?"
Third Uncle Lu remained silent for a long time. It seemed as though he was struggling internally because he had actually given up on any hope that his son would ever be cured. However, since Jiang Yuning was the one who suggested it, he knew that it would not be good to refuse her offer.
"Alright then. We can give it a try."
After dinner that night, Jiang Yuning and Chen Jingshu sat on the balcony as the both of them chatted and shared secrets with one another, as though they were sisters.
"I have already decided to participate in the training program to be the heir of the Lu family. Although my legs are no longer working, my mind is still fresh and alert. So, I think that I should bear the responsibility that a member of the Lu family should shoulder."
Jiang Yuning held Chen Jingshu's hand as soon as she heard her words.
"Sister Jingshu, you are really very strong and determined."
"I guess you have influenced me and given me some inspiration. Moreover, I can't allow Second Brother to take on all the responsibilities on his own. Grandpa and the rest of the Lu family members have worked so hard to build this family. Therefore, as an heir, we should all give our best to guard and protect everything that we have inherited."
Jiang Yuning smiled when she heard Chen Jingshu's words.
"We will definitely get better and better at this."
"It is already late. You should go back to your room and rest already, " Chen Jingshu said to Jiang Yuning as she gestured at the guest bedroom that was not too far away.
"I will be sleeping in Second Brother's bedroom tonight. Shh!"
"Even if anyone finds out that you are sleeping in Second Brother's room now, no one would say anything, " Chen Jingshu replied as she laughed."Go, go. I think that both of you should just continue to keep things this way. Do not get too impatient. Just continue to play it cool and when the elders start to worry, they will definitely accept and give their blessings to you two. I really think that this is a very good plan. Second Brother is really very intelligent."
