After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 196: Brother-in-law, Please Take a Seat

Jiang Lingxi took Lu Zhengzheng to the restaurant’s private room, followed by the shaless Wei Minmin who ca to scrounge a al.

When they arrived at the private room, they opened the door to see a dark head on the table.

Wei Minmin walked up nonchalantly and patted Jiang Lingxu on the shoulder, "What’s up, little brother, did you get so tired today that you fell asleep on the table? Is sis Xi squeezing you too hard?"

Jiang Lingxi glanced at her and picked a seat to sit down, "Have you ordered yet?"

Jiang Lingxu placed his phone, already heating up, on the table and nodded, "Two cold dishes, two hot dishes, and a fish that’s half stead and half braised."

"That’s only six dishes, it’s not enough for the four of us." Wei Minmin quickly sat down beside Jiang Lingxi and pressed the bell to call the waiter, "The portions here aren’t big, we need to order more. Let do it, I know which dishes are the best."

Jiang Lingxu’s initial anger was eased considerably by Wei Minmin’s interference.

He couldn’t help but mutter, "You’re nothing like what you are on TV!"

Wei Minmin perked up instantly, "Did little brother see on TV?"

"Yeah, I’ve watched the dramas and movies you were in, and a variety show too."

In the cafeteria at the Juvenile Detention Center.

There, they couldn’t use phones or any electronic devices, their only entertainnt during alti was the TV in the cafeteria.

Wei Minmin waved her hand, "Oh, that’s just for the audience to see, if I act like that in private, I’d be exhausted. I’m like this in private, anyway, you’re not an outsider."

Jiang Lingxu: "..."

Got it!

Just like those repulsive comnts he flipped through beneath the video earlier, those loudmouthed individuals on the internet might just be cowards in reality.

There’s no point in being serious with them, it only adds fire to your anger.

It was because he mixed up the online and the real world earlier that he couldn’t help but engage in a quarrel online.

While waiting for the food, Jiang Lingxu beca the subject of Wei Minmin’s interest.

Learning that he wants to study composing, she gave him a thumbs-up, "Ambitious!"

Jiang Lingxi could see she wasn’t very optimistic, but she still encouraged him and suddenly asked, "What do you an?"

Wei Minmin propped her chin with her fingers and thought for a mont, "Well, the music industry isn’t really thriving right now, just Xu Yin, Liao Yuehan and a few others have made it big, but ten or twenty years ago, soone like Xu Yin wouldn’t even make the list. Plus, a lot of singers transition into acting, doing movies and variety shows, there are fewer people fully dedicated to composing." She said, patting Jiang Lingxu on the shoulder, "But I have confidence in you, little brother, I hope there’s a place for you in the future music scene."

Jiang Lingxu was embarrassed by her words.

"I-I’m just starting out."

"Huh, then you might as well go to a professional school for further studies."

These words were intended for Jiang Lingxu, but listening on the side, Jiang Lingxi suddenly had a realization.

She knew Jiang Wenhu and Jiang Runcheng actually hoped their son could go to college, obtain a degree like other kids, so he wouldn’t be seen as inferior, but they didn’t dare push him. Both sides were careful.

This ti Jiang Lingxu ran away from ho, and she speculated that a big part of the reason was because he couldn’t stand the atmosphere at ho.

But what if he took an arts path instead of a traditional academic path?

Tong Yue once suggested that compared to strictly academic courses, going the arts route for the college entrance exam would require significantly less from the academic grades.

However, seeing how Jiang Lingxu was deep in thought at the mont, she didn’t voice this idea.

If he could co up with that himself, the effect would be better.

Just as the dishes ca and they were about to start eating, Jiang Lingxi’s phone, sitting by her elbow, lit up.

She planned to deal with it after the al, but upon glancing at the sender’s profile picture, she set her chopsticks down.

Shen Yunqing: "There’s new progress, I’m bringing the computer over to find you."

Jiang Lingxi considered the ssage for a mont, then replied, "Did you eat?"

Sitting in the car with his phone, Shen Yunqing responded quickly, "Not yet."

Jiang Lingxi: "Moonlight Restaurant, second floor, Spring River Tides room. Xiao Xu, Zhengzheng, and Minmin are all here."

Shen Yunqing: "Okay, you all start eating, I’ll be there in about ten minutes."

Setting down the phone, Jiang Lingxi gave a heads up to the three who were ready to eat, "Soone else will be joining us later."

"Who?"

"Shen Yunqing."

"Bang, Bang!"

Jiang Lingxu and Lu Zhengzheng simultaneously put down their unused chopsticks.

Wei Minmin was a beat slower, paused, and also put down her chopsticks.

"There’s juice, have so juice, their juice is quite good." Then she pressed the bell again, and when the waiter ca in, she instructed, "Serve the remaining dishes in ten minutes, and the wine I ordered earlier, keep it stored."

"Alright."

When the waiter left quietly, Jiang Lingxi’s gaze landed on Wei Minmin’s face, "When did you order wine?"

Wei Minmin chuckled dryly, "I stored it here before, I figured since we’re all not outsiders, might as well have a drink. But if Mr. Shen is coming too, forget it."

In her view, Mr. Shen seed more like soone who’d sip tea in a quiet tea room rather than drink in a restaurant’s private room.

Jiang Lingxu glanced at his sister then at Minmin who just arrived, "Mr. Shen, he..."

How should he address him when he arrives?

Jiang Lingxi took a sip of juice, "Call him as you see fit."

Wei Minmin: "Huh?"

The ten minutes didn’t feel long, as there was a rhythmic knock on the private room door, and Jiang Lingxi watched as the three sat up straighter in an instant, "Co in."

Shen Yunqing pushed the door open and imdiately locked eyes with Jiang Lingxi, nodding.

Then he looked over at Jiang Lingxu.

Even he didn’t expect his glance to carry such intimidation, as the youngster almost reflexively stood up, pulling out the adjacent chair and loudly offering, "Brother-in-law, have a seat here."

Shen Yunqing’s steps montarily halted.

Wei Minmin let out a duck-like sound, "Quack!"

Brother-in-law? Whose brother-in-law? Who’s calling who brother-in-law?

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but raise her hand to her forehead, for the first ti questioning if inviting Shen Yunqing to join the al was a mistake!

She gestured for Shen Yunqing to sit down, "Have a seat." Then she turned to Wei Minmin, who had her mouth agape, disregarding her celebrity image, "Weren’t you always curious how I got Mr. Shen to join us? Well, now you know."

Listening to Jiang Lingxi admit it herself, Wei Minmin still found it hard to believe, "You, you’re really..."

This ti, Shen Yunqing nodded, "With a marriage certificate and everything."

Wei Minmin: "... Today, this al really wasn’t a waste! Even little uncle didn’t know, haha!"

Totally worth it!
