Ruan Qi felt really bad that her eyes turned red.
âBeibei, Iâm sorry. If I didnât pick that card, we wonât be in this situation.â
Tang Beibei hugged her. âWhatâs there to cry about? We just have to do our best and leave the results to fate!â
âLeave the results to fate?â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. âBeibei, youâre getting better and better at your mythological studies.â
Tang Beibei glared at him angrily.
Jiang Jingchen pushed Ruan Qi away. âDonât take advantage of my wife. Go away.â
Ruan Qi, who had been pushed away, felt wronged, but she couldnât say anything.
Jiang Jingchen pulled the woman into his arms and whispered to her, âHave you heard of this saying that your husband is your sky?â
Tang Beibei frowned and looked at the sky. âWhat kind of old wivesâ tale is that? My sky is this atmosphere around the earth, separating me from the universe.â
Jiang Jingchen, who was trying to flirt with his wife, gritted his teeth in anger.
âRemember, as long as Iâm here, Iâm your sky!â He ordered in a domineering tone.
âOkay. So?â
Jiang Jingchen almost spat blood. âSo, I wonât let someone get in the way of your results. Whatâs yours should be yours!â
Even if it wasnât Tang Beibeiâs, he would get it for her!
âWhat do you mean?â
âIt means whatever pre-determined champion is a joke. Donât listen to rumors.â
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Fu Jin as he spoke.
âCaptain Fu Jin, that rumor is just a smokescreen. Nothing is more important than the competition, right?â
Fu Jin finally understood and nodded quickly. âYes, nothing is more important than the competition. That rumor must have been cooked up to rattle her opponents.â
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi looked at each other. They clenched their fists and cheered each other on as they prepared for the competition.
Jiang Jingchen waited for them to leave before he asked Fu Jin, âWhere is the program director? I would like to speak with him.â
â⦠What are you going to say?â Fu Jin asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Jingchen kept quiet. He just cracked his knuckles, making popping sounds with his hands.
âViolence doesnât solve problems.â Fu Jin persuaded.
Jiang Jingchen looked at Fu Jin disdainfully and said, âWhy resort to violence when money can solve the problem?â
Why did he crack his knuckles if he wasnât preparing to fight? Was he trying to destroy his finger joints?
Jiang Jingchen went to find the program director to ask him about the contestantsâ final ranking in the competition.
The program director looked at him unhappily and asked him to leave. The competition hadnât ended yet, so how would he know the contestantsâ final ranking?
âIf you donât know, then who should I ask?â
âYou canât ask anyone about this kind of thing.â
âIs that so?â
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Fu Jin. Fu Jin looked at the sky gloomily. He figured that he was only there to help so he could only endure it.
Fu Jin asked the director, âDo you know who this is?â
The director snorted in disdain. âI donât care who he is. Iâm very busy and youâre making trouble here.â
Jiang Jingchen clicked his tongue unhappily and glared at Fu Jin. âGet to the point.â
Fu Jin gritted his teeth and said to the director, âThis is the first young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Jingchen. Have a guess if your little program has anything to do with him.â
The executive director looked at the two of them in shock and laughed disdainfully.
âYoung Master Jiang? Are you kidding me? Isnât Young Master Jiang disfigured and in a wheelchair? Even if you want to pretend to be him, you should put in more effort.â
âYouâre so ignorant.â Jiang Jingchen laughed angrily. How could there still be people who thought that he was in a wheelchair? Publicity didnât seem to work.
So, his status as the first master of the Jiang family was useless unless he showed his teethâ¦
He called Jiang Xing and said, âFather, my wife is participating in a reality program. She wants to be the champion. Would you say that itâs possible?â
The very busy Jiang Xing was so annoyed when he heard this that he wanted to hit someone.
âItâs just one little trophy. If she wants it, give it to her. Youâre calling me over such a small matter?â
âWell, the program people looked down on the Jiang family and said that I, the first young master of the Jiang family, am a good-for-nothing. They also said that you, Jiang Xing, canât be any better either and refused to give the trophy to my wife.â
âI just wanted to ask, what should I do when I encounter such a thing? I donât want to make things difficult for you or kill someone and make your angry.â
Fu Jinâs mouth twitched as he listened to Jiang Jingchenâs blatant lies.
The director beside them had indeed never met Jiang Jingchen before, and he didnât know much about these wealthy families.
But he had heard of Jiang Corporation and Jiang Xing.
What if the person Jiang Jingchen was speaking to as really Jiang Xing?
Wouldnât that be disastrous?
Wait a minute, when did he say that Jiang Xing was no better than a good-for-nothing?
Jiang Xing cared most about his face. Someone who refused to give the Jiang family face was also not giving him face. He was naturally unhappy.
âWhat show is it?â
âJingdu TVâs âDancing Youthâ.â
âTve never even heard of it. Itâs probably just a small show. Iâll get my assistant to call and ask. The Jiang family can well afford to buy the trophy of a small show!â
âAlright, thank you, Father.â
The voice changed on the other end of the line. âYoung Master, hello. Iâm your fatherâs assistant. You can call me Xiaoduan. Iâm currently contacting the higher-ups of the television station. Iâll get back to you in five minutes at the latest.â
Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone, looked at the director, and sighed helplessly.
âI was going to pay you for the trophy, but you refused and made me angry.â
The director was still doubtful. âYouâre really the first young master of the Jiang family?â
Jiang Jingchen pointed at his own face. âYes, in the flesh. You can check if you donât believe me.â
The directorâs forehead was covered in cold sweat. He took out his phone and wanted to ask his friend, but his boss called.
He answered the call, listened to the words from the other side and nodded respectfully.
When the director looked at Jiang Jingchen again, his gaze changed from disdain to respect, with a tinge of fear.
âY-Young Master Jiang, my superior would like to speak to you on the phone.â
Jiang Jingchen scoffed, âYouâre just a small show, yet you manipulate things from behind the scenes. Did you guys already decide on the winner internally?â
The director felt pressured and didnât dare to hide it anymore. He nodded and replied, âYes, itâs been decided. The pre-determined winner is the investorâs girlfriend, Jin Zhao.â
âOh? Then change it to my wife, Tang Beibei!â
The director was shocked. âContestant⦠Contestant Tang Beibei is your wife, the first young madam of the Jiang family?â
The program team had edited the previous show to make Tang Beibei look like a diva with a bad temper to get eyeballs.
He had never thought that she was a real big shot!
The first young madam of the Jiang family, daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. She ranked even higher than A-list celebrities on the social ladder.
âWhy? You donât think sheâs worthy?â
âNo, no, no. We have been blind and didnât recognize her.â
The director felt a chill down his spine and was at a loss.
âYour eyesight is indeed not very good. You couldnât even recognize me, so how could you recognize my wife?â
Jiang Jingchen didnât speak fast. His tone was slightly lazy but very intimidating.
âYou guys thought that my wife is just a powerless, ordinary contestant. You edited her however you wanted to create discussions and smeared her without caring about the consequences. You ruined her reputation and let those haters on the internet scold her and cyberbully her!â
âI-Iâm sorry, Young Master Jiang. Itâs our mistake. Weâll definitely clarify things for her.â
âHa!â Jiang Jingchen sneered, like a cold wind in the middle of winter. The director shuddered.
âOf course, you must clarify things.. If you ruin my wifeâs reputation, Iâll ruin your body and end you!â
