Chapter 22 - I Will Wait For You… No Matter How Late It Is, I Will Wait (1/2)

“She had already taught me a lesson because of the hype that we created yesterday. Why would she promise to put on an act for me again?” Huo Yuxi said as she started getting a little impatient.

“Isn’t she your mother? Why wouldn’t she help you out?” The chairman asked in disbelief. “Even if she disagrees, can’t you just lie to her then? When the both of you run into the paparazzi when you are out, you could just pretend that you know nothing about it. I do not believe that she will not help you if that was the case.”

“What kind of ridiculous idea is this? She is not that gullible!” Huo Yuxi retorted.

“You are still her daughter no matter what you think. It is not that difficult. Just buy her a gift and be nice to her. You should know for yourself that you have already lost many job opportunities because of the scandal involving Lu Zongye. Take advantage of this opportunity given to you and your career might be restored sooner than you would have expected.”

Huo Yuxi wanted to reject the suggestion put forward by the chairman but after tasting the aftermath of the hype yesterday, she really did not want to lose the chance to regain her fame and clear her name. If she could just use her relationship with Fu Yahui to clear her own name, she believed that her stepmother would not blame her for that.

All she had to do was buy her a gift and be nice to her? That was not too difficult…

…

The sky was bright and blue by the seaside.

Jiang Yuning was woken up by a man gently kissing her lips. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Jingzhi’s perfectly sculpted face at such close proximity to her. She felt as though she was still dreaming. She quickly hooked her arms around the man’s neck and pulled him closer to her to deepen the kiss.

“I promise you.” Lu Jingzhi was satisfied because Jiang Yuning took the initiative to kiss him. There was a slight smile on Lu Jingzhi’s face although he rarely ever smiled. He pulled back and straightened his body before saying, “I will find the Jiang’s family lawyer for you.”

“Really?” Jiang Yuning bounced off the bed excitedly and quickly stepped forward to hug Lu Jingzhi from the back.

“I will give you more information when I come home tonight.” After speaking, Lu Jingzhi patted Jiang Yuning’s hand gently. “I have a function to attend tonight. I might be home late. If you are tired, you can rest first. You do not need to wait for me.”

“I will wait for you… No matter how late it is, I will wait for you,” Jiang Yuning replied excitedly.

Lu Jingzhi turned around to look at Jiang Yuning but when he saw the excited expression on Jiang Yuning’s face, he could not help but pull her into a hug again. As Jiang Yuning leaned against his chest, Lu Jingzhi suddenly said, “Don’t give me any trouble when you go out later.”

“What do you think I am going to do?” Jiang Yuning said as she quickly looked down to hide the expression on her face.

“I am afraid that there will be no one to clean up the mess for you if I am not by your side,” Lu Jingzhi said as he got out of bed and walked straight into the bathroom to wash up.

Jiang Yuning stared at Lu Jingzhi’s back as he walked away from her. She felt that he was a lot gentler to her today compared to how he had treated her yesterday. He did not show her any attitude at all. Was it because he felt guilty towards her?

However, since Lu Jingzhi had already promised to find her family lawyer for her, she believed that she would be able to see her benefactor soon.

Little did she know that her benefactor would be someone that she knew.

…

After Lu Jingzhi left the villa, Jiang Yuning turned on her laptop to watch the entertainment news. Yesterday, the entire internet was filled with news about Huo Yuxi’s family background. Today, the internet was filled with comparisons between both of Lu Zongye’s girlfriends.

The newly released post compared the both of them in terms of their acting skills, their education history, their appearances and also their family background.

In the end, the conclusion was that if they were Lu Zongye, they would have also cheated on Jiang Yuning.

In terms of acting skills, Huo Yuxi was the top actress and on the other hand, any movie or show that Jiang Yuning starred in would always have a mere score of 4.0.

In terms of academic qualifications, Huo Yuxi was a qualified scholar who had graduated from a famous university overseas whereas Jiang Yuning did not even finish her college education.

In terms of appearances, Huo Yuxi was a charming and sexy woman with a body that women would die to have and would make a man go crazy. Jiang Yuning on the other hand was a young woman and her only winning point was her youth.

The netizens seemed to have come to a conclusion that comparing Jiang Yuning to Huo Yuxi was in fact degrading Huo Yuxi.

Were they really that different? It seemed as though she would have to ask Lu Jingzhi for his opinion tonight on who was prettier. Huo Yuxi or herself. Were the fans really so bias nowadays?
