Chapter 28: Stop Dreaming, Impossible!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This young boy really had a very sweet mouth.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning did not hesitate to sign more than a dozen autographs for him at one go.
After all, if the information that had been discovered by the boy turned out to be true, then there would be a good show that would be unfolding at the Lu family.
However, Jiang Yuning also knew that the drama would definitely go far beyond this.
Initially, Jiang Yuning thought that Fu Yahui would not be looking for her for the next few days but she suddenly received a text message from Fu Yahui in the afternoon, sending her an address to come and meet up with her. Fu Yahui seemed to have learned her lesson as she was extremely cautious and she even sent an additional text, asking Jiang Yuning to be careful not to be caught or followed by any paparazzi or reporters.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yuning put on a beige dress and then drove the car that Lu Jingzhi had prepared for her, a low-key black sedan car to the mountain villa in the suburbs that Fu Yahui had directed her to.
When she arrived at the mountain villa, the person who opened the door for her was none other than Huo Yuxi.
Jiang Yuning had already expected this.
The both of them stared intensely at one another, both refusing to give in to the other. However, Jiang Yuning could tell that today, Huo Yuxi was acting a little smugger than she usually was. Huo Yuxi smirked before turning around to face Fu Yahui who was in the living room. “Mommy, Yuning is here.”
Jiang Yuning felt that it was a little bit hilarious as it was rather indistinguishable whether Huo Yuxi or herself was in fact Fu Yahui’s biological daughter.
“Yuning, come on in.” Fu Yahui was wearing a gray coat and she was leaning back against the black leather sofa.
Jiang Yuning stepped into the living room slowly and she saw Huo Yuxi quickly taking a seat right next to Fu Yahui. It was as though Huo Yuxi was trying to tell Jiang Yuning that even though she was the step daughter, she was closer to their mother compared to her, the biological daughter.
“Mommy, what is she doing here?” Jiang Yuning asked as she stared at Huo Yuxi, deliberately trying to make things difficult for Fu Yahui.
“Yuning, no matter what she had done, she is still your sister at the end of the day. Even though she had done wrong against you, we are still a family and we should stand united against everyone else. I have already taught your elder sister a lesson yesterday. For my sake, please just let it go and try to get along with Yuxi. After all, you would have to depend on Yuxi’s connection if you want to get into Millennium Entertainment,” Fu Yahui took a stand as a parent and started advising Jiang Yuning. In fact, she was also threatening Jiang Yuning in a way.
If she wanted to enter Millennium Entertainment, then it would be best for her own interest not to go against her elder sister.
“Mommy, rest a.s.sured. I have already spoken to the agency and they have agreed to sign an employment contract with her on my behalf,” Huo Yuxi hurriedly a.s.sured Fu Yahui. “Everything is in place as long as Yuning make some time to go to the agency to meet up with the director and the artistes there. My agent will contact Yuning after that.”
Huo Yuxi had a smug look on her face, as though she had just done Jiang Yuning a huge favor.
In fact, it was not necessary for Huo Yuxi to step forward and help out, but Fu Yahui intended this on purpose just so Jiang Yuning would Huo Yuxi a favor.
“If the both of you can continue supporting and relying on one another like this in the future, then I would be so relieved,” Fu Yahui said as she reached out and took up the cup of coffee on the table. She took a sip of the coffee before looking at Jiang Yuning once again.
Jiang Yuning was extremely curious. What big matter did the two of them wanted to tell her, that they had to build up the situation bit by bit?
“Yuning, actually your elder sister is pregnant with the child of the third young master of the Lu family. We found out that your sister’s body is weak and therefore, the doctor advised that she should not abort the child. I have thought about it already and even though I feel sorry for you, I believe that the best option now is to let your sister marry into the Lu family first. In future when you take a liking to any young master, just let mommy know and I will try and pave the way for you.”
So, this was what the two of them had been building up to.
“After all, Lu Zongye was your fiancé in the past. If you cannot graciously forgive your sister, then we will have to come up with another plan.”
“What other plans can you come up with? You want the baby to born as an illegitimate child?” Jiang Yuning asked Fu Yahui without any hesitation.
The expression on Huo Yuxi’s face changed immediately as soon as she heard Jiang Yuning’s words. If Fu Yahui was not around, Huo Yuxi would have already thrown a tantrum and create a big scene.
“Yuning, your elder sister is pregnant so you should not be so selfish,” Fu Yahui rebuked Jiang Yuning. “Furthermore, your engagement with Lu Zongye had already been annulled. If your sister did not value and respect you, she did not need to inform you of her plans. We could have gone directly to the Lu family to talk about marriage.”
“Do you really think that she is doing this because she valued and respected me?” Jiang Yuning questioned Fu Yahui.
“Jiang Yuning, what are you implying?” Huo Yuxi yelled as she could no longer control her anger.
“You did not do this because you value or respect my opinion. The only reason why you are doing this is to show off and to declare to me that you are going to be marrying into the Lu family. You are trying to prove to me that I am an outsider at home because my biological mother is on your side, and even outside, you have got Lu Zongye on your side. You want me to be grateful and thankful to you and you want me to feel as though I owe everything that I have to you,” Jiang Yuning retorted as she stared at the both of them calmly. “Mom, is this how you are making it up to me?”
“Jiang Yuning, you have to stop being so unreasonable,” Fu Yahui said as she tried to suppress her own anger. “Can’t you just hope for the best for your own sister?”
“First, she s.n.a.t.c.hed my fiancé, and now she is s.n.a.t.c.hing my own mother away from me. How do you expect me to treat her well?” Jiang Yuning said angrily as she stood up to face the two persons who were sitting directly opposite her. “If you are expecting me to accept this just because you are trying to help me to get into Millennium Entertainment, then I am telling you now, you don’t need to do that!”
“Mommy… look at her. Is she trying to kill the child in my belly?” Huo Yuxi placed her hand on her lower abdomen immediately as she started complaining to Fu Yahui. “I told you that she would not appreciate anything that I did for her. Do you believe me now, Mommy?”
“Yuning… let’s just stay calm for now. It is already a fact that your elder sister is pregnant. Just be generous and help her through this time of difficulty. In the future, your sister will also remember all that you have done and sacrificed for her.”
“Stop dreaming. Impossible! I would never forget all the misery and pain that she and Lu Zongye had caused me. Not in this lifetime!” After speaking up and making her stand, Jiang Yuning picked up her purse and rushed out of Fu Yahui’s mountain villa.
“Mommy… just look at her att.i.tude…” Huo Yuxi said as she pointed at the door that Jiang Yuning had left opened, further adding fuel to the flame.
“Just ignore her,” Fu Yahui replied with a dark expression. She had not expected this kind of temper and att.i.tude from Jiang Yuning. “The first thing you should do is to inform Lu Zongye about the baby. I will then arrange for a meeting with the Lu family to discuss your marriage. As for your sister… I will find another way to appease her.”
“Mommy, you are the best.” Huo Yuxi said as she finally felt relieved after hearing those words from her mother.
Jiang Yuning wanted to compete with her? Didn’t she look in the mirror first?
Jiang Yuning did not want her to marry into the Lu family? Then, all the more she would enter the gates of the Lu family to show Jiang Yuning what she was capable of doing.
Jiang Yuning was in a good mood after leaving the mountain villa. She understood Huo Yuxi’s character perfectly. The more you object to something, the more thrill she would find in doing exactly what she should not be doing. That was why Jiang Yuning deliberately gave a big reaction when she learned that Huo Yuxi was going to marry Lu Zongye. If she wanted to marry Lu Zongye so desperately, then she can go ahead and marry him.
When Lu Zongye’s true ident.i.ty is finally exposed, then Huo Yuxi would finally know what it felt like to be in h.e.l.l.
…
Jiang Yuning was snacking and watching television in the living room of the villa at nine o’clock at night. When Sister Liang who had just finished her work sat down beside her, she turned around and asked her, “Sister Liang, this woman who is ranked number one is not as beautiful as me, right?”
“Miss Jiang, you are a natural beauty,” Sister Liang replied with a smile on her face.
“Then Sister Liang, have you watched any of the dramas that I have acted in before?”
“How can you bring yourself to ask others if they have watched the dramas that you were in?” A low-voice rung from the entrance of the villa. Jiang Yuning looked up and smiled immediately when she saw Lu Jingzhi walking in.
“So, that means you have watched my dramas?”
