Chapter 215: Chapter 215 You Really Are My Family’s Little Lucky Star
Listening to Jiang Nanshu’s heartfelt thoughts, Lu Qingyan carefully watched Lu Junqin depart.
He only knew that Lu Junqin was not happy in the Shang Family, otherwise her only son would not have been left to be raised by Lu Mother.
But he had never thought that Shang Chi would dare to commit domestic violence, and Lu Junqin never spoke of it, likely not even Shang Xu knew.
The black luxury car drove away, and Shang Xu rolled down the window, waving at Lu Qingyan and Jiang Nanshu. It was apparent that he was happy to be going home with his mom.
Jiang Nanshu waved back at him.
She thought back to when she was four years old.
It was only because Zhou Yanxu extended a pair of redeeming hands gently towards her that she was able to survive, otherwise she would have ended up frozen to death in the harsh winter.
Those unscrupulous parents probably would have just wrapped her in a straw mat and thrown her onto the mountain to feed the wild beasts, or she might have ended up in a nameless grave.
In her original world, she was just a minor character who could hardly leave a name behind. Her chapter was briefly sketched, outlining her short and miserable life.
When she was hit by a car, her bones hurt.
So falling from a building must hurt too.
Shang Xu was still so young.
He knew nothing.
Jiang Nanshu took a deep breath before turning her head to Lu Qingyan and said, “Brother Qingyan, please pay more attention to Xuxu’s situation, I always feel… there’s something strange about his home.”
[I’m not familiar with the Shang Family, rashly intervening might get me kicked out as a madman, better let Lu Qingyan keep an eye out, in case something really happens, he could intervene in time?]
Lu Qingyan’s expression softened, and he gently responded, “Hmm, alright.”
Even if Jiang Nanshu appeared cold-hearted, there was still a shard of kindness within her bones.
This kindness and gentleness stemmed from the day Zhou Yanxu saved her, making it impossible for her to remain indifferent to the vulnerable.
Like her foster mother, who thought about severing all ties but still made up reasons to let her receive treatment in peace.
Lu Qingyan sighed in his heart, he was really becoming more and more curious about Zhou Yanxu.
He thought deeply, was Jiang Nanshu’s task to gain everyone’s Disgust Value and then leave this world?
Thinking of this.
Lu Qingyan suddenly felt his thoughts were clearer.
Because Jiang Nanshu would eventually leave, that’s why she had no attachment to this world, which is why she seemed to lack a sense of belonging.
His personal desires began to stir.
He thought that he wanted Jiang Nanshu to stay forever.
…
After returning to the villa.
Jiang Nanshu received a message from Jiang Yisen.
Tomorrow afternoon at four, there would be a bidding at Li Yun Mansion, and after the bidding, an auction would be held.
Jiang Yisen: [I’ll wait for you at the company’s front door tomorrow, if you don’t come, I’ll go alone.]
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
The greatest joy for Jiang Yisen in business was competing with others over land, buildings, and development projects.
These deals could be profitable, but losses could be severe enough to cause bankruptcy. It’s not surprising the book focused on Jiang Yisen mainly developing Yan Mountain until forced to halt construction halfway. It took a lot of money to fix such a loss, leading to the rapid decline of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Nanshu: [I’ll come, I’ll definitely find you tomorrow.]
After confirming the plans for the next day.
Jiang Nanshu went back to her room to rest.
The whole villa was empty except for her and the servants; none of the other family members were around.
Jiang Nanshu took a bath and then had a lovely nap.
When she woke up, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.
Feeling hungry, she simply brushed her hair and went downstairs.
Jiang Zhouye was unexpectedly sitting in the living room. Hearing movement, he just glanced up.
“Back already?”
Jiang Nanshu yawned, “Yeah.”
Seeing Jiang Zhouye idly sitting there made her heart leap with joy, but she pretended to be concerned, “Brother Yan, have you become jobless? It’s fine if we don’t mess with the entertainment industry. I don’t need you to teach me singing anymore, lest you get emotional over songs.”
Jiang Zhouye: “…”
He lifted a casual smile on his handsome, valiant face, clearly amused as he replied in a crisp, pleasant voice, “It’s just a company. I’ll just swindle them and jump ship.”
Jiang Nanshu: “???”
“Brother, your voice…”
Jiang Nanshu was shocked.
[Could it be that you met Hua Tuo? This is curable?!]
Jiang Zhouye coughed lightly, “Thanks to your blessing, I’m fine now.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Jiang Zhouye continued with a beaming smile, “You’re really the lucky star of our family. Staying with you every day, my throat healed without medicine. It’s miraculous.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Where is my oxygen tank? I’m about to have a heart attack, I’m infuriated!]
Jiang Nanshu forced a smile, “Congratulations, Brother Yan. You’re just fortunate, and I’ve nothing to do with it.”
Jiang Zhouye just smiled, “The previous company claimed my voice was ruined and unilaterally terminated my contract. They also leaked that I was dissatisfied with the company policies and wanted to break the contract. Now, Haohan Media wants me to pay a penalty of 6.45 million.”
“I recorded an audio clip for them, told them to compensate me eight million instead, else I’ll bring Haohan Media down. Oh, by the way, I signed with a new company yesterday, Fengyu Entertainment.”
“Also, that stalker fan has been put behind bars and won’t be out for at least a year or two. I blew the whistle on this matter. Such behavior will probably decrease now. Without making an example out of someone, they won’t be scared.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Stop, please, my heart aches.]
Jiang Zhouye rambled on, letting Jiang Nanshu grasp his general situation.
[So much for being a lucky star; I’m literally my own disaster star around you people.]
Seeing Jiang Nanshu’s gloom, Jiang Zhouye sighed internally and decided not to provoke her further.
This change of fate depended entirely on her feelings.
“In a while, I’ll announce the signing with the new company and release an album. Here are a few songs; could you help me choose?”
[Choosing songs now? I think you’re just looking for a slap!]
But despite being angry, Jiang Nanshu had to maintain her image. She smiled and said, “Sure, let’s see.”
Jiang Zhouye opened the tablet in front of him, filled with many unreleased songs – some by famous lyricists and composers, and others sold by different companies. The variety included everything from dance and rap to love and motivational songs.
She looked at one of the songs titled “Only,” a title that resonated deep within her bones!
Wasn’t this the song Jiang Zhouye chose to struggle one last time before switching to acting when his voice had failed in the original book?
The lyrics and melody were great, but his voice struggled so much that it took millions in sound editing to make it bearable, yet it still became a hit.
[Haha, you sure know how to pick. Isn’t this one of the songs you chose when you were forced to leave your previous company, hoping for a comeback? It’s a good song indeed, but it was a trap set by Haohan Entertainment!]
