Chapter 412 - I Can Still Be King On My Own! (1/2)

It was drizzling in the middle of the night at Luo City.

Jiang Yuning and Vera were still waiting in the dressing room at the television broadcast station even though it was already one o’clock in the morning. At this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly received a phone call from Lu Jingzhi.

When Jiang Yuning saw the caller ID, she quickly excused herself as she said, “I am sorry but I would have to excuse myself for a short while. I have to answer this call.”

“Please, please go ahead,” Lin Cangxiao replied as he smiled.

Jiang Yuning quickly walked out of the dressing room with her cell phone in her hand and she walked into an unoccupied room before she answered the call. At this time, Jiang Yuning’s voice was extremely soft and gentle as she said, “Second Brother, didn’t I ask you to sleep first?”

“I am waiting for you outside the television broadcast station building. Let me know when you are done,” Lu Jingzhi replied calmly over the other end of the line.

At this time, Jiang Yuning felt warmth in her heart but she was also distressed for Lu Jingzhi. “Alright, I will do that. Did you drive here yourself?”

“If not?”

Jiang Yuning calmed herself down and she returned to the dressing room after hanging up the phone. After that, she secretly instructed Vera, “Please help me to look for a clean blanket, preferably a brand new one, and then please deliver it to the person waiting in the car downstairs. Second Brother is waiting for me but he does not like to turn on the heater in the car. I am afraid that he will catch a cold like this.”

Vera patted Jiang Yuning’s shoulder gently after listening to her instruction before she assured her, “Don’t worry. I got it.”

Vera then left the dressing room but when she came back about ten minutes later, she was not alone.

“Yuning, there is someone who wishes to speak with you.”

Jiang Yuning walked out of the dressing room as she looked up at the person who was with Vera. At this time, she realized that it was Su Jinhang, who was wearing a black cap and a black mask to disguise himself. “Sister Yuning, may I take up some of your time?”

Su Jinhang should have no idea that the production team was going to recruit him as a regular cast on the variety program. Moreover, Hou Da would not have disclosed the fact that Jiang Yuning was the one who recommended him for the role of the first male lead in <Yan Huasu>. Therefore, Jiang Yuning felt that Su Jinhang must be looking for her for some other reasons.

“Alright then, let’s find a convenient place to talk.”

Su Jinhang had stayed behind after his performance earlier and he had witnessed the entire confrontation between Lin Kaiyan and Jiang Yuning.

At this time, the three of them headed up to the rooftop of the television broadcast station. However, since it was drizzling, they stayed beneath the sheltered area.

Su Jinhang turned around and looked at Jiang Yuning as he sat down on the staircase. After that, he suddenly asked, “Sister Yuning, I guess you should have heard of my aunt, Su Xindi, before?”

“Just a little.”

“But no one knows that because of the nature of my aunt’s profession, my cousin sister met and fell in love with Lin Kaiyan. When my aunt was apprehended for her involvement in a murder, Lin Kaiyan wanted to call things off with my cousin sister so he would not be implicated in the matter or linked to Su Xindi in any way. Therefore, he forced my cousin sister to abort their eight-month-old fetus. After my aunt was sentenced to prison, my cousin sister became ill and depressed, and she eventually committed suicide at home. All that my cousin sister left behind was a suicide note, asking her family members not to blame Lin Kaiyan for her death…”

“And so…”

“So, that is the reason I requested to take a picture with Lin Kaiyan tonight. I thought that it would be a good tribute to offer my cousin sister since it would be her death anniversary soon. I wanted to give her something that would make her happy,” Su Jinhang explained himself. “But Sister Yuning, that man is really heartless. Sometimes, I really hate my cousin sister for falling in love with that jerk and ending her life because of him. Why did she get involved with someone who ruined her entire life?”

“I really did not know that you would both be related in this way. So, does Lin Kaiyan not recognize you at all?”

“No. It is probably because I was still very young when they were both together. However, I have a feeling that he would not even be bothered even if he discovers my identity. After all, Lin Kaiyan had always treated my cousin sister as one of the many girlfriends he has had. Even if my cousin sister was carrying his baby, he did not feel any guilt or responsibility at all.”

After listening to his explanation, Jiang Yuning suddenly understood why Su Jinhang would be so cruel to himself. She finally understood why he would force himself to approach Lin Kaiyan to ask for a picture with him even though he had been seriously humiliated by Lin Kaiyan before. He must have been struggling internally throughout the entire time.

“Then, did you enter the entertainment industry because of him?”
