Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Jun held Bai Xue’s hand. He said emphatically, “Little Xue, being an actress is just too hard.”
She let him hold her hand as she said, “How could I have it easy in this profession?”
“With Li Yan’s ability, you shouldn’t have to work so hard.” Jiang Jun frowned.
Bai Xue pulled her hand away, retorting, “Brother Jun, you’re wrong. A girl needs to be financially independent, too!”
Jiang Jun sniffed his hand and said with a smile, “You’re such an amazing girl.”
She replied playfully, “Not really. Whether it’s Li Yan or you, both of you are better than me. I want to stand beside the two of you, so of course, I have to improve myself as fast as I can. Oh right, Brother Jun, can you send me to the set later?”
Jiang Jun nodded. “No problem. I’m quite free these days anyway.”
Bai Xue was confused. ‘Don’t you need to go to the office? Why are you so free recently?’
Then she recalled that, when it came to her, he would ignore everything else. She said sweetly, “As long as your work isn’t affected.”
At around 4 pm, Jiang Jun brought Bai Xue to the set and then went home.
As soon as Jiang Jun entered the house, he saw Old Master Jiang and Jiang Ling’er watching TV in the living room.
He cursed in his heart, ‘Jiang Ling’er, you b*tch! You’re really shameless. You bullied my Little Xue in school, and now you’re trying to suck up to the old man.’
Jiang Jun said in disdain, “Do you guys like watching such low-level programs?”
Hearing his mockery, Jiang Ling’er asked, “Low-level? You do know Bai Xue is the mystery guest for this episode, right?”
Jiang Jun was speechless. He had no idea about this.
When Old Master Jiang heard Bai Xue’s name, he felt unhappy. He mocked, “A variety show like this only employs a bunch of clowns. All of them are under the control of the big shots. We just have to watch and laugh.”
Jiang Jun’s face instantly darkened. He cursed in his heart, ‘Watch who you’re mocking, old man!’
Jiang Ling’er said, “That’s right. It’s a money-making show. Ordinary people like us are just here to watch it.”
Old Master Jiang replied with a smile, “Heh. I’m just here to watch the show. Some people will never be presentable no matter how much you praise them. Alas, they’re only suitable for entertainment.”
Jiang Jun instinctively clenched his fists. ‘Who the hell are you calling unpresentable?’
Jiang Ling’er affirmed, “Grandpa is right.”
She looked at Jiang Jun and asked, “Do you want to watch it with us? This episode features Bai Xue. It took a lot of effort for her to be able to get on the show. Because of Li Yan’s recommendation, she became a mystery guest. If I’m not wrong, the mystery guest will also be holding a talent show.”
Of course, Jiang Jun wanted to watch it, but he didn’t want to watch it with Jiang Ling’er and the old man. He asked, “Grandpa, did you freeze my bank card?”
Old Master Jiang said casually, “The Jiang family’s money is hard-earned money. Since you keep spending money recklessly, there’s no need for you to use it.”
“I’ve also worked hard for the company for five years,” Jiang Jun said angrily.
Old Master Jiang retorted, “You’ve spent far more money than you earned in the past five years.”
Jiang Jun snorted, turned around, and went back to the bedroom.
Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Jun’s departing figure and said, “Grandpa, I had to stay with you because no one loved me since I was young. You took care of me and loved me like your own daughter. However, why did you let Jiang Jun stay with us? I remember that he only came after he joined the company, right?” Old Master Jiang said meaningfully, “What’s wrong? Do you think I took the initiative to take him in?”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned and asked, “Wasn’t it you who took the initiative?”
After all, without her grandfather’s permission, Jiang Jun would never be able to set foot in this house.
“Of course not.” Old Master Jiang shook his head. “It was your mother who forced him to come over. She was worried that I would make you inherit everything, so she insisted that Jiang Jun should live here and accompany me.” Jiang Ling’er laughed mockingly. ‘What kind of brain does Lin Lin have? She doesn’t have any right to be unhappy about Grandpa’s decisions!’
Seeing Jiang Ling’er’s disdainful expression, the old man sneered. “Your mother kept telling Jiang Jun that he would become Jiang Corporation’s next president.”
Jiang Ling’er was in disbelief. Currently, the company’s vice president was
Jiang Hua. Even if her grandfather passed away one day, there were still many more suitable candidates above Jiang Jun for president.
She said, “No way! Why is she in such a hurry?”
Old Master Jiang said coldly, “Lin Lin is just that anxious. But it’s not a big deal, so 1 can’t be bothered about it. For the sake of your father, I let Jiang Jun stay here..”
