Chapter 475 - Chapter 475 Chapter 475 Keeping up with the Joneses

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Keeping up with the Joneses Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Keeping up with the Joneses Qiao Yun pursed her lips and said softly, “I really like it.”

Lu Zhanxing smiled, eyes curving happily, “As long as you like it.”

Although it was a last-minute decision to buy a gift to cover up his childish actions, he had still chosen the gift with great care.

Lu Jingzhi’s gaze was just as tender. Whether his sister would accept or forgive him no longer mattered; as long as she was happy, that was enough.

He would no longer force Qiao Yun to do things she didn’t like to do.

He knew he didn’t have the right.

In this period, Lu Jingzhi became very self-aware, as he didn’t want history to repeat itself; he didn’t want to push Qiao Yun away again.

Qiao Yun didn’t know that there were many people standing up for her.

They all tacitly kept it from her, silently protecting her in their own ways.

Their intentions were simple: they wanted Qiao Yun to be happy and not troubled by trivial matters.

…

The next day.

The music single that Lu Zhanxing had sung with Qiao Yun was released online.

Lu Zhanxing himself didn’t care much about sales, after all, his wish to sing with his sister had already been fulfilled.

It was Xie Ying who was dying of anxiety, after all, it was Lu Zhanxing’s first song release in years and he didn’t know if the netizens would take to it.

The single went live on time.

Xie Ying took a deep breath, clicked on the official website, and then…

He was struck dumb.

The next second, “Ah!” a scream resounded, startling Lu Zhanxing, who was bored and playing video games.

“Are you singing a play?”

“No.” Xie Ying, holding his phone tremulously, passed it to Lu Zhanxing, “Holy shit, you topped the chart! It’s been less than a minute since the release, and you’re already number one in sales, blowing past the song king who’s been at the top!”

“What?”

Lu Zhanxing was also surprised, “Since when did I become so powerful?”

“Uh… maybe it’s because your song is good, let’s look at the comments.”

Xie Ying excitedly clicked on the comments, then fell silent again, and looked at Lu Zhanxing with an odd expression.

“Why are all the comments praising your sister? Look at this comment. Ever since I listened to this song, especially the female voice in it, my severe depression has magically been cured, hahaha… this is killing me.”

Lu Zhanxing replied discontentedly, “What’s so funny? My sister’s singing is indeed beautiful.”

Xie Ying: “…”

Although it was strange, Lu Zhanxing naturally felt happy to hear compliments about his sister.

However, as the single’s sales continued to climb, Lu Zhanxing couldn’t stay calm. He quickly went on Weibo to remind his fans not to inflate the sales and waste money.

The fans: ??? They were surprised too.

Meanwhile, at the Tianqi Research Institute.

Having just finished a set of data, Han Lao Liu was leisurely holding his coffee and said to the cool guy opposite, “Didn’t the teacher’s single come out today? There wasn’t much I could do, so I just bought a hundred thousand copies to show support.”

The cool guy across, not even lifting his head, replied coldly, “Oh, I bought two hundred thousand.”

Han Lao Liu slammed his coffee cup down, “You bought more than me, that’s not okay! It’s not allowed!”

“I only bought ten thousand copies, I don’t care, I have to buy more than you.”

“I haven’t said a word and I’m only at five thousand, what are you blabbering about?”

Han Wang walked past them, his gaze coldly sweeping by: “Hmph, I bought a million, the first place can only be mine.”

“…”

It wasn’t just them who participated; even the tycoons acquainted with Qiao Yun showed their support, which led to Lu Zhanxing’s single’s sales being off charts.

After all, these people had money, and what they feared the least was spending it.

Qiao Yun also received lots of praise for her beautiful singing.

This was Qiao Yun’s first time singing in public, and even though it was just a short two lines, she was embarrassed to be praised like this, her earlobes blushing with shyness, something she had never done before.

Since she returned to the Lu Family, she really experienced a lot of different things.

She had never been so keenly aware that a person’s life can go through many changes and doesn’t have to remain the same.

On this side, Xie Ying watched the sales continue to soar and quickly put down his phone, afraid that his excitement would give him a heart attack.

“Oh, right, this Saturday is the premiere of ‘General’, and the director asked if you could attend,” Xie Ying mentioned.

The movie ‘General’ was one Lu Zhanxing had acted in before he got entangled with Xun Minzhi, which was supposed to be released earlier but had been delayed because of Xun Minzhi.

Lu Zhanxing felt apologetic that the release date had been dragged out so long because of him, “Alright, reserve a few extra tickets for me.”

“Got it.”

After Xie Ying left, Lu Zhanxing then found Qiao Yun to invite her to watch the movie together.

Qiao Yun didn’t immediately agree, looking at Lu Zhanxing with her clear, large eyes, she asked in a small voice, “Can I bring someone with me?”

“Of course, you can. Do you want to bring your friend?” Lu Zhanxing asked with a smile.

Qiao Yun nodded her head, “I’ve never watched a movie with friends before, I want to try it.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing’s heart ached for his sister again.

With such high accomplishments, she definitely didn’t have a happy childhood, not even normal friends until she came home.

Lu Zhanxing generously said, “Bring as many as you like.”

Qiao Yun explained, “Li Miao and Li Hanzhou.”

“…” Lu Zhanxing’s eyelid twitched, and he forced a cheerful response, “Boss Li is so busy he probably won’t have time. Let’s leave him out of it, shall we?”

Qiao Yun thought for a moment, seeing the logic but still said, “I’ll ask.”

Lu Zhanxing: “…” He knew without asking that Li Hanzhou would be more than willing.

Li Hanzhou indeed couldn’t wait, the corners of his mouth rising slightly as he asked Qiao Yun on the phone.

“Why do you want to go to a movie?”

“I’ve never been with friends.”

Qiao Yun answered honestly, “Do you want to see it?”

“Sure.” Li Hanzhou said, “As long as it’s with you, I’d like to.”

He didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a child’s whim to experience watching a movie with friends.

But the fact that the child had invited him, did that mean he was a little special to her?

Once Lu Zhanxing knew Li Hanzhou had agreed.

He chuckled, but seeing his sister’s eager anticipation, any reluctance he had dissipated.

On Saturday.

When Li Miao came downstairs, she noticed the Great Demon King seemed different.

Overall, he appeared more dazzling than usual, as delicate as a butterfly that seemed eager to attract bees and butterflies.

So much so that she hardly dared to make eye contact with the Great Demon King.

Li Miao covered her eyes and said to Li Hanzhou, “Brother, it’s time to leave, don’t let Qiaoqiao wait too long.”

Li Hanzhou furrowed his brows, “You’re going too?”

“Of course, Qiaoqiao invited me as well,” she responded.

Li Hanzhou: “…” It seemed he was the one being presumptuous.

Narrowing her eyes, Li Miao looked at her brother’s moodily fluctuating expression and laughed knowingly, “Don’t tell me you thought today was a date just for you two? Hahaha… Qiaoqiao’s brother will be there too.”

Li Hanzhou looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: “Did you finish your homework?”

Li Miao instantly shut up.

Sigh.

The worries of an academic struggler, homework is never done.
