“You will be able to meet her formally in a short while. There is no rush.” After that, Jiang Yuning pushed the dressing room door open.
There were perhaps not enough dressing rooms at the location, resulting in Jiang Yuning having to share a dressing room with the two other celebrities.
The young celebrity was a boy called Jin Mingchen. His hair was dyed blond and he had light lipstick on him and a set of very straight and white teeth.
“You must be Sister Yuning...” Jin Mingchen quickly rushed up to Jiang Yuning and shook her hand excitedly. “I really like you a lot...”
“Are you serious?” Jiang Yuning replied as she looked at the other party suspiciously.
Jin Mingchen nodded his head immediately before he replied, “Of course! Don’t you think that it is such a coincidence that you are a 4.0 rated actress, and I am also a 4.0?”
Jiang Yuning quickly pulled back her hand as she said, “Then you had better stay away from me! I do not want to be considered a 4.0 forever!”
“Don’t act like this. We can rise to fame together. We can create a group called the 4.0 gang,” Jin Mingchen replied as he made a heart sign at Jiang Yuning with his hands.
“No thanks. No thanks. Please let me off the hook...” Jiang Yuning quickly replied before she walked over to the older actor and bowed before him to greet him. “Nice to meet you, Senior Qi.”
“I am really so envious of you young kids. The show will definitely be a lot easier if you guys can joke around and get along so well,” Qi Mo replied as he waved his hand at Jiang Yuning. Those who had already experienced their share of hardship would generally be more compassionate towards one another. That was why Jiang Yuning and Jin Mingchen could get along so easily.
“Sister Yuning, you have to take care of me. I heard that you have a lot of hidden skills...”
“We will be in different groups!” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. “Hahaha...”
Jin Mingchen was immediately disheartened when he heard Jiang Yuning’s words. “Why can’t they just allow us to be in the same group? But it’s okay...I heard that there is also another very beautiful young lady from the expert team.”
A short while later, the dressing room was filled with laughter because Jiang Yuning was someone who was friendly and could get along with other people easily.
“Sister Yuning, I am really grateful that I am fortunate enough to be recording this program together with you. I have already heard that you are very pleasant and outgoing, and I guess the rumors are true. You are really easy to get along with!” Jin Mingchen said as he hugged Jiang Yuning. “So, please protect me!”
“My gosh. You are really very clingy,” Jiang Yuning replied as she pushed Jin Mingchen away with a disgusted expression on her face. However, she secretly thought that this young boy was actually quite cute and interesting.
The participants in the expert team were located in the dressing room next to them and the team comprised of a meteorologist, a biologist, and also a geologist.
All three of them were highly educated and qualified, and they therefore did not think that anyone there could be considered their equal. After greeting one another, they kept to themselves and did not start a conversation amongst themselves.
The production team had initially planned for the expert team to familiarize with and get to know one another. However, after meeting each other, they did not bother to converse among themselves.
“Sister Yuning, I really hate that the production team has refused to allow the celebrities to be in the same group...”
“How would I be able to relax and enjoy myself if we were placed in the same group?”
“Why are you hurting my feelings like this?”
Jiang Yuning and Qi Mo could not help but to burst out in laughter at the young boy’s antics. Jiang Yuning took a look at the time and when she saw that there was less than twenty minutes left before the start of the press conference, she quickly told them, “The event is about to start soon. I will go to the washroom first...”
Jiang Yuning stepped out of the dressing room with a smile on her face and she eventually found the washroom with the help of the staff. As soon as she opened the washroom door, she saw Xu Beishen answering a call in the washroom.
“Alright, I know. I will not make things difficult for her.”
At the same time, Xu Beishen looked up and saw Jiang Yuning entering the washroom. Both of them stared at one another for a short moment before they looked away.
Jiang Yuning used one of the cubicles before she came out to wash her hands. At this time, Xu Beishen also kept her cell phone away before she stood beside Jiang Yuning and turned on the faucet beside her.
“Seven years ago, when I first saw you, you were just a beautiful and young high school student. At that time, I thought that you looked very pitiful but I would have never expected that the next time we would bump into one another again would be under this kind of circumstances.”
After listening to Xu Beishen’s words, Jiang Yuning slowly turned off the faucet before she grabbed a paper towel and started wiping the water droplets off her hands.
“Oh, so it seems as though Miss Xu has seen me before a long time ago.”
“Why didn’t Brother Lu know that you were at his university that day?” Xu Beishen asked out of curiosity. “But I guess there is really nothing to be surprised about because there are so many people who admire and look up to Brother Lu. To be honest, I pity you—you used to be the young lady of a wealthy and prestigious family, but look at where you have ended up in the end.”
“You pity me?” Jiang Yuning asked, because she did not agree with Xu Beishen’s opinion. “Yes. God has indeed been very cruel to me in the past, but I think that he is very good to me now. At the very least, he had given me what I want the most in this life...”
“You still have a long way to go in this life. Who knows what will happen in future?” Xu Beishen replied indifferently.
“I will willingly accept anything you want to challenge me with, but if you want to compare your education level to mine, then I do not think that it is fair to me at all. If the Jiang family did not go bankrupt, second brother and I would not have been separated for five years. Perhaps if that had not happened, we would already have children running all over the street by now. However, it does not even matter even if we were separated for five years because either way, you do not stand a chance at all,” Jiang Yuning said as she stared arrogantly at Xu Beishen.
“You do not deserve him.”
“That is not up to you to decide.”
“You will only embarrass him and make people look down upon him...”
After listening to Xu Beishen’s last sentence, Jiang Yuning snorted before she said, “My man has become so successfully based on his own ability. In Luo City, do you think anyone would dare to look down upon him? Do you dare to?” After that, Jiang Yuning tossed the paper towel that she had just used into the trash can before she sorted out her dress and proceeded to walk out of the washroom.
However, just as Jiang Yuning walked towards the washroom door, she turned back and said to Xu Beishen, “Oh yes. I forgot to mention that even your elder brother has to greet me and call me sister-in-law when he sees me. So, I would advise you to be more respectful when you see me in future.”
After that, Jiang Yuning walked out of the washroom immediately.
She had already disliked Xu Beishen in the past but she disliked her even more right now.
This was because she suddenly realized something important. If Xu Beishen had seen her at Lu Jingzhi’s graduation seven years ago, she must have deliberately approached and clung onto second brother to cause the misunderstanding that had occurred.
When she thought about it, she felt that Xu Beishen was very despicable. She even had the guts to announce that she was going to snatch second brother away from her?
Jiang Yuning snorted. The Jiang family might have gone bankrupt, but this had given her a brand-new life...
She would definitely prove to Xu Beishen that a person should not be judged based on their family background, but they should be judged on their ability instead.
...
As for Xu Beishen, she could not understand why Lu Jingzhi thought that Jiang Yuning was better than her even though she was richer and had a more enviable figure as well as a higher education level compared to Jiang Yuning. Why was she unable to replace Jiang Yuning?
That was the main reason that she wanted to participate in this show. She wanted to understand why Lu Jingzhi was so obsessed with this woman. What qualities did Jiang Yuning possess that she did not?
She was just an actress. She did not even possess a bachelor’s degree. Even though she had already been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she was not even famous.
Grandpa Lu would never accept an actress as Lu Jingzhi’s spouse.
She...could not accept it!
The both of them were scowling when they walked out of the bathroom.
However, since Jiang Yuning was an actress, she could control and hide her emotions better than Xu Beishen.
On the other hand, anyone would be able to see the anger and frustration that Xu Beishen was feeling at the moment.
Very soon, the production team invited all the guests to enter the stage. At this time, all six of the guests from both the expert team and the celebrity team came out of their respective dressing rooms. Although they greeted each other politely, it was obvious that none of them actually felt that the other party was their equal...
