Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 134 - 134 134 Not Taking Away a Single Cloud

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Not Taking Away a Single Cloud Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Not Taking Away a Single Cloud Jiang Fanyue’s smile stiffened for a moment, and she was very sincere in her apology, “I know, many people outside are cursing me, I’m sorry for dragging you all into this.”

Liang Jinlan’s heart softened, “Let’s not talk about whether it’s affecting us right now. You are being scolded, and I heard Xu Jin’s team is planning to sue you. Mom is worried about you too.”

Jiang Fanyue hung her head and said, “I’m worried too, not for myself, but because I’m afraid it will cause you all to worry. But luckily… ”

“Luckily what?”

“Luckily, Uncle Jian found me and said that if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I can ask him for help.”

“Really? That’s great!” Liang Jinlan said with a beaming smile.

She had been around Jian Xiliang before, but unfortunately Jian Xiliang had never spoken up, never giving her the opportunity to chime in. She wanted to show her goodwill but hadn’t found the right moment.

She never expected Jian Xiliang to take the initiative to seek out Jiang Fanyue!

“Quick, tell mom what happened exactly?” Liang Jinlan said, pulling her hands happily and making her sit beside her, waiting to hear the good news.

Jiang Fanyue didn’t mention anything else, only saying, “Uncle Jian said that my academic performance is excellent, my future is promising, and that I am a talented person of the Jiang Family, shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the family in the future.”

Liang Jinlan was filled with joy, “It’s rare for your Uncle to value you so much. Now that he has spoken, you should continue to work hard.”

“I will, mom,” Jiang Fanyue said softly, “I will definitely not let you and Uncle down. But, won’t Uncle also go to Jiang Zhe?”

This was Jiang Fanyue’s biggest concern.

Liang Jinlan was also afraid that Jiang Zhe would reappear and take away the regard from Jian Xiliang that Jiang Fanyue was supposed to receive.

She said, “I have already thought about it, Jiang Zhe is no longer a member of our family. But there are still many people outside who are not aware of this. Whenever something happens, they associate her with us. This time I will prepare a banquet to clarify that she has already left the Jiang Family.”

The incident with Wu Yingze gave Liang Jinlan a hard time.

Jiang Fanyue clutched her hands tightly. With this, wouldn’t the fact that she was adopted also become known to others?

Seeing her doubts, Liang Jinlan said, “You are my daughter, and don’t worry, I will vindicate you.”

Jiang Fanyue looked up at Liang Jinlan with wide eyes.

Liang Jinlan continued, “Speaking of which, I think Xu Jin is willing to publicly claim Jiang Zhe as Miss J and leverage the composer’s fame for her benefit because he respects the Jiang Family. Once we clarify this point, Xu Jin will likely sever ties with her.”

Hearing Liang Jinlan’s words, Jiang Fanyue’s heart swelled with joy. That meant this banquet would be extraordinarily effective.

Liang Jinlan immediately went to arrange for the preparations.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fanyue pondered for a long time before sending a message to Jian Xiliang, “Uncle Jian, I had a bit of a disagreement with Xu Jin last time. Could you please help me by saying a few good words on my behalf?”

…

Xu Jin was shooting a commercial.

Jiang Zhe sat to the side, revising a design scheme for an outfit.

He was about to walk on a red carpet and needed an appropriate formal dress.

Jiang Zhe rarely followed his events, but since Xu Jin was staying a few extra days in Jincheng this time, she took the opportunity to come to the set.

While she was revising, her phone rang.

She got up and went out to answer the call.

“Xiaozhe, would you like to come for lunch? I’m in Jincheng,” came the voice of Elder Lady Qin from the phone.

Her voice was filled with laughter and sounded very kind.

Jiang Zhe smiled, “Sure, just send me the address, and I’ll come over in a while.”

“I’ll send you a message on WeChat.”

Jiang Zhe put away her phone. The elder Mrs. Qin usually got in touch with her quite often, she didn’t talk much, but she also didn’t lose contact.

Inadvertently, it seemed like she had gotten used to the extra people in her life.

Jiang Zhe turned and walked towards the vending machine and bought a pack of gum.

During a break in filming, Xu Jin’s agent hurried over to him and whispered, “There’s a Minister in Jincheng named Jiang Xiliang, quite influential, who says he wants to invite you to dinner, but I know you’ve never liked these social engagements, so I turned him down.”

“Good,” Xu Jin nodded, as his agent was already familiar with handling these matters.

However, he still asked, “What does he want with me?”

“It’s about Jiang Fanyue’s issue. Didn’t she leak a melody from your new album last time? I had our legal team warn her. But we didn’t sue. Jiang Xiliang is her great-uncle, and he’s trying to mediate on her behalf.”

The incident with Jiang Fanyue last time didn’t greatly affect Xu Jin’s new album.

The biggest impact was on Jiang Fanyue herself, who is still being criticized by netizens.

“Just handle it as you see fit,” Xu Jin said generously, not too concerned with the aftermath.

“What about Xiaozhe…?” The agent was a little worried that if he let Jiang Fanyue off easily, Jiang Zhe might have some objections.

Xu Jin gave him a look: “Don’t you know Xiaozhe by now? Is this little matter worth her trouble?”

Indeed, the agent didn’t say anything more.

Jiang Zhe bought the gum and came back, quickly sketched the final lines on the clothing design draft, and handed it to the agent: “Done.”

“Thank you, thank you. Xiaozhe, why don’t you stay for lunch?” The agent’s eyes lit up as he received the design.

No matter how many beautiful gowns he had seen, what Jiang Zhe provided was still unlike anything he had ever seen.

“No, thanks.” Jiang Zhe packed up her bag, waved at Xu Jin, and turned to leave.

The agent was too late to follow and see her out, as Jiang Zhe was already out of sight.

“Always leaving so coolly, without taking a single cloud with her,” the agent quipped with literary flair.

…

The place the elder Mrs. Qin arranged for lunch was in another villa not far from Lushan Courtyard.

Compared to the modernity of Lushan Courtyard, this place was more quaint and substantial, obviously where the elder Mrs. Qin stayed when she came to Jincheng.

Qin Hai, who came to pick up Jiang Zhe, led her inside, “The elder Mrs. Qin and Master Qin are both inside.”

As Jiang Zhe walked in with her bag, she overheard the elder Mrs. Qin scolding Qin Jingchen, “In a place like a police station, when someone suggests Xiaozhe should stay for the night, you actually let her? After such a big incident, you didn’t back her up, what good are you?”

Clearly, Qin Jingchen had only just arrived a little while ago.

“Grandma Qin.” Jiang Zhe greeted calmly.

Qin Jingchen sat on the sofa with a cup of clear tea in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, quietly listening to the elder Mrs. Qin’s scolding, looking very submissive.

It was only when he heard Jiang Zhe’s voice that he lifted his gaze, looking at her with a lively expression between his brows.

The elder Mrs. Qin stood up and pulled Jiang Zhe closer, “Let me see, where were you hurt that night?”

“I wasn’t injured,” Jiang Zhe showed her hands.

“Even if you weren’t hurt, considering the other party was injured like that, you must have been terribly frightened,” the elder Mrs. Qin said with concern.
