Chapter 435: But It’s Really Nice to Watch This Couple!
Since Su Jinhang’s whitewas.h.i.+ng had already been completed, Jiang Yuning could finally raise her head up high in front of Hou Da now.
This was because they would be no other negative material that anyone could use against Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang anymore. It seemed as though the road ahead was only filled with good news.
Early the next morning, officially released the three different set of photos that they had taken of Jiang Yuning playing the role of Duan Hanyan. In fact, the fans of the book were initially very worried because they were afraid that the combination of Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang’s acting skills would not do any justice to the novel at all. However, after seeing Jiang Yuning’s photos, they were left completely speechless. Even if Jiang Yuning had no acting skills or talent at all, it was…no longer important.
The book fans felt that they could watch one hundred episodes of the drama simply because Jiang Yuning looked absolutely stunning in her outfit.
[Could you release a full high definition set of Jiang Yuning’s stills first?]
[If the drama does not attract a lot of attention, then I will do a headstand in the shower!]
[I think that I will be convinced as long as I see Jiang Yuning in a traditional Chinese outfit.]
[Why is the drama only coming out next year? I can’t wait already!]
[I hope that everything will run smoothly during the filming. Please release some spoilers for us while filming the drama!]
[Sob. Sob. I don’t think that anyone else will ever be able to look as amazing as Jiang Yuning does in any traditional Chinese outfit. Jiang Yuning has completely won over my heart.]
Hou Da had already antic.i.p.ated this reaction from the fans of the book. In fact, she was initially as excited as the fans of the book the first time she saw the photos that they had taken of Jiang Yuning dressed up as Duan Hanyan. At that time, Hou Da had the urge to take more pictures of Jiang Yuning so she could release it on the Internet and create hype for the drama.
Jiang Yuning seemed to look absolutely flawless whenever she wore any traditional Chinese outfits. It seemed as though she was made for the ancient style.
No matter what she did or looked like in reality, Jiang Yuning always became a completely different person whenever she put on the ancient costumes.
Now that everything was already set in place, all that they had to do was to sit still and wait for training to commence next month.
…
Jiang Yuning did not pay too much attention to all the news on the Internet even though she had woken up early because it was her grandfather’s birthday today. Therefore, Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi left the villa early in the morning to pay her grandfather a visit.
Jiang Yuning was wearing a warm white sweater, a brown woolen scarf, and a dark brown windbreaker today. She looked very comfortable and warm in her attire.
As for Lu Jingzhi, he was also casually dressed in a dark blue turtleneck sweater, paired off with a brown trench coat.
The both of them were dressed in British style because their outfits were planned by Jiang Yuning. She had intentionally matched their outfits to allow them to look matching and compatible.
As soon as they both entered her grandfather’s room at the nursing home, Jiang Yuning’s eyes turned red immediately. At this time, the witty and sly fox quickly turned into an injured and helpless rabbit.
This was because Grandpa Jiang could no longer recognize her.
Jiang Yuning could only remember how awesome Grandpa Jiang was in the past, but now, all he could do was to sit in a wheelchair and be taken care of.
Her grandfather was the one who taught her everything that she knew and she learned most of the skills and talents that she had acquired from her grandfather.
But Grandpa Jiang was currently…
Lu Jingzhi knew that Jiang Yuning felt very sad and distressed. He held her hand tightly in his as he squeezed her hand gently to comfort her. He wanted Jiang Yuning to be strong because there was no way for them to turn the situation around since her grandfather was already in this state right now.
Jiang Yuning looked at Lu Jingzhi as she controlled her own emotions. At this time, she crouched down beside her grandfather’s wheelchair as she looked up at her grandfather.
Jiang Yuning held the old man’s hand before she rubbed his hand gently against her cheeks as she said, “Grandpa, I am so sorry…Ningning is so sorry. I know that I have not visited you in a very long time, but I did not come by to visit you because I feel very upset whenever I see you. Every time I come by, it seems as though your condition has worsened and I feel very distressed. I don’t want to see you like this. I don’t want to see your condition worsening by the day…”
“Grandpa, did you know that it is your birthday today? That is why I brought your grandson-in-law to see you today.”
“It is Second Brother. It is Second Brother Lu and he treats me very well and dotes on me a lot. Therefore, you do not need to be worried and you can rest a.s.sured.”
Lu Jingzhi stood behind Jiang Yuning as he stroke her head gently to comfort her.
After making sure that Jiang Yuning’s emotions had already stabilized, Lu Jingzhi helped her up and sat her down on the chair next to her grandfather.
…
At this time, there was a young nurse on duty who had just witnessed everything that was going on inside the private ward. As she was a newcomer, this was the first time that she had seen Jiang Yuning coming to visit her grandfather.
A famous celebrity finally remembered that she had a grandfather.
The young nurse could not help but snort. Although she did not enter the private ward or cause any interference at all, she could not stop herself from gossiping about Jiang Yuning to her colleagues.
“I think that the sun has really risen from the west today. Jiang Yuning actually remembered that she still has a grandfather.”
“Don’t say that.” One of her colleagues stopped her immediately. “Grandpa Jiang has been staying at our nursing home since the onset of his illness. It had already been more than five years since he first moved into the nursing home. In fact, Grandpa Jiang’s illness is the only reason why Jiang Yuning had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry at such a young age. Jiang Yuning did not need to put her grandfather in such a luxurious and expensive private ward, but she simply refused to allow her grandfather to suffer any grievances at all. She wants the best for him even if it means that she would be struggling and shouldering all the responsibilities on her own. In the last five years, all the nurses here would always run into Jiang Yuning in the middle of the night as she would always drop by the nursing home to keep her grandfather company and to talk to him. Sometimes, she even comes by the nursing home without changing out of her filming clothes because she had been so busy filming the entire day. Many of us have already witnessed the scene of Jiang Yuning crying as she crouches down beside her grandfather. She also told a few of us that she find it more and more difficult to come by to visit her grandfather because she cannot bear looking at his condition worsen day by day. She cannot stand watching him suffer. Therefore, I hope that you will not judge a person so casually when you do not even know the entire story at all.”
After being reprimanded by her colleague, the young nurse bowed her head. She felt really ashamed of herself.
“I was too narrow-minded.”
“Didn’t you see her crying as she rested her head on Grandpa Jiang’s knees earlier? So, I really hope that you will not start spreading any rumors when you do not know the person at all. Do you know how detrimental a rumor can be, especially for an artiste like Yuning? Do you know how much trouble a little rumor can actually cause her?”
The young nurse nodded her head again. “I really know that I am wrong. I will not do it again. But…isn’t the man who came here with her today the heir of the Lu family?”
“Yes, and he also did come here to visit Grandpa Jiang on his own a few times previously. This is the first time that he has come to visit Grandpa Jiang together with Jiang Yuning. However, both of them are childhood friends who grew up together, so this is not very surprising. It is very normal,” the colleague quickly explained to the young nurse. “Don’t start any rumors or gossip about both of them, especially since this involves a member of the Lu family. If you start spreading any rumors, I am afraid that you will not even be able to keep your job at this nursing home.”
“I just think that…both of them are very close.”
It felt like there was a love line going on here.
As the both of them continued talking, the head nurse pushed the door open as she entered Grandpa Jiang’s ward.
Of course, the head nurse and Jiang Yuning had already known each other for many years. Therefore, this time, the head nurse started updating Jiang Yuning on her grandfather’s condition as she always had.
However, at this time, Lu Jingzhi stopped her immediately.
“You can just update me on his condition.”
The head nurse froze for a moment before she nodded. “Okay, Second Young Master Lu.”
After that, the head nurse turned around and was about to walk out of the private ward. However, as she turned around, she saw Lu Jingzhi kissing Jiang Yuning on her forehead before he said, “I will take a look at grandpa’s medical report and get the updates from the head nurse, okay? Don’t be sad anymore. Cheer up a little.”
“I will,” Jiang Yuning replied as she nodded.
The two nurses who were standing outside the private ward were in shock.
This…
This was not simply a friends.h.i.+p between childhood friends anymore, right?
Childhood friends would not kiss one another so casually, right?
Had they discovered some great secret?
The two nurses froze in place as they waited for Lu Jingzhi to walk to the head nurse’s office together with them. After Lu Jingzhi stepped into the office, the two nurses quickly exchanged glances with one another.
“So…Jiang Yuning and the heir of the Lu family…”
“Shh!” the young nurse’s colleague quickly covered her mouth. “This is their private matter. Don’t spread rumors so casually!”
“I know. I will not say anything. I am just in shock.”
A few days ago, someone had just started a rumor stating that Jiang Yuning was in love with a younger man.
As a result, no one knew that Jiang Yuning already had a big bad wolf of her own.
Of course, the nurses were very busy and they did not have the time to surf the Internet and read all the news on the love line between the childhood sweethearts. Otherwise, they would have been able to provide some enlightenment to many of the netizens and pa.s.sers-by.
But it’s really nice to watch this couple!
