After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 608 - 598 What Magic Does Jiang Lingxi Have?

"Xixi, you’re finally showing up. Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere."

Jiang Lingxi took a glass of red wine from the tray carried by a nearby waiter and looked at Jiang Kaiyuan, who had co over. "Why, do you need sothing from ?"

"Earlier, everyone was talking about attending the International Fashion Gala. It’s only a few days away. Have you been busy with work lately, and do you want to join us for so fun?"

Jiang Lingxi clinked her glass with Jiang Kaiyuan’s. "Asking it like that, you’re going too?"

Jiang Kaiyuan looked imdiately aggrieved, "It seems like Sister Xi really hasn’t been following my account updates. I’ve posted all the invites I’ve received."

Jiang Lingxi showed no guilt on her face at all. "I’m too lazy to even look at my own account; why should I specifically look at yours?"

Jiang Kaiyuan: "..."

He believed it.

As a heavy internet addict, while he didn’t spend as much ti on his phone as on gaming, he still did a daily round on all major platforms to check out gossip and other celebrities’ updates.

Everyone was quite active, and the ones who were inactive were just a few of them.

Jiang Lingxi was definitely the youngest among those few.

"I suspect that when you’re not working, you live like a retired old person. No, more like an old cadre."

These days, even old people are quite active on Douyin. When he played gas, he even matched a few retired old ladies and gentlen who played very smoothly and adeptly.

Jiang Lingxi thought about what she did during her free ti.

Sitting on the balcony, sunbathing, drinking tea, and reading books; fishing at Lake Heart Pavilion; and occasionally pulling Shen Yunqing for a ga of Go. If Shen Yunqing was unavailable, Xia Zhi could barely do.

These activities could unknowingly pass half a day, and she felt it was pretty enjoyable.

In her past life, she hardly had such leisure!

Gaming was possible too, but she didn’t play much. Those that required a lot of ti she couldn’t stick with; strategy gas were too easy to clear; and in team gas, eting bad teammates or overly sensitive people made it tiring to play. Often, she lost interest after one or two rounds.

Thinking of this, she nodded at Jiang Kaiyuan, "Pretty much."

Jiang Kaiyuan: "..."

He felt that ignoring his agent’s advice and insisting on asking Jiang Lingxi to team up might have been a mistake.

"I also wanted to ask if you’d like to take a stroll at the International Fashion Gala. I guess you..."

Actually, he had his own ulterior motives. Since Sister Xi hadn’t publicly announced who her other half was, he thought he still had a bit of a chance.

Besides, his agent, who used to oppose him knowing his intentions, hadn’t said anything this ti.

"No need."

Jiang Lingxi’s refusal was straightforward, and Jiang Kaiyuan’s face instantly showed a hint of hurt.

Before Jiang Lingxi could explain, soone nearby couldn’t stand it anymore.

"Miss Jiang, you’re being quite heartless, aren’t you? Kaiyuan is kindly inviting you. Even if you don’t want to go, you could say you’re busy with work and can’t find the ti. There’s no need to refuse so directly; it’s better to leave so room in words."

Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Kaiyuan both turned to the person speaking.

Instead, Jiang Kaiyuan was the first to explain, "Senior Zhou, you misunderstood. I’m familiar with Sister Xi; this is just our way of talking. Sister Xi considers one of her own, so she speaks directly without needing an excuse to refuse ."

Is this blaming for being nosy?

Zhou Lingyue was so angry her chest heaved. "Do as you like in private, but this is a public occasion. Caras could sweep over at any ti; shouldn’t you watch your words a bit?"

"Senior Zhou, aren’t you perhaps making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"I’m making a mountain out of a molehill? I’m just..."

Jiang Lingxi glanced briefly at the two people arguing quietly over such a trivial matter, downed the last sip of her wine, put down the glass, and turned to leave.

By the ti the two left behind finally finished their trivial debate and turned around, Jiang Lingxi was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Lingyue, looking at Jiang Kaiyuan still eagerly searching for Jiang Lingxi, suppressed the bitterness in her heart. "Getting a little heat recently, and she’s already getting cocky. I wonder how far she can really go!"

*

"Lingxi, your being away just now took quite a while!"

"I’m really sorry, I got held up by so unexpected matter. I ask for the senior’s forgiveness."

Fortunately, the older seniors present liked well-mannered youngsters, and they just smiled and shook their heads at her words.

"Old Mr. Cao had an unexpected engagent and left early with his granddaughter."

Jiang Lingxi smiled too, as if the early departure of the grandfather and granddaughter had nothing to do with her.

When the caras in the livestream moved over, the audience in the live room imdiately noticed a certain conspicuous missing person among a group of elderly folks.

[Hurry, Jiang Lingxi has appeared again!]

[How can this girl be so elusive?]

[It seems like Xixi is a favorite when surrounded by these elders.]

[The key is that she doesn’t show any timidity. I love this confident energy of hers.]

[Isn’t anyone curious where she was in the nearly half-hour just now?]

...

Seeing soone quickly take over the comnt section as soon as she appeared in the live stream, everyone else: "..."

What magic does Jiang Lingxi have!

Mr. Han, realizing that his companion hadn’t returned for a long ti, took out his phone to call her, only to see a ssage Jiang Xiyu had sent him so minutes ago.

[Mr. Han, I’m feeling unwell, can’t hold on, and left early. Hope you understand.]

Mr. Han: "..."

He laughed out of annoyance.

If that were true, he could swallow his phone!

[Is this the professionalism you showed after pleading for the role of my companion?]

[If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do.]

In the car, Jiang Yuting, who was called last minute and sitting beside Jiang Xiyu, barely noticed her sending the ssage and quickly reached to grab the phone, whispering incredulously, "Are you crazy, retract it now!"

"Maybe I am crazy." Jiang Xiyu swiftly slipped the phone under her backside, looking nonchalant with a blank gaze. "Cousin, how many unexpired contracts do I still have left?"

"Not many are left. I’m working on it, but you dared to offend Mr. Han. Did you think about the consequences?"

"No need to think," Jiang Xiyu shook her head at her cousin, and her next words almost made Jiang Yuting stand up in the car. "I plan to quit the industry."

"What are you saying? Jiang Xiyu, where’s your ambition? Wait, did sothing happen at the banquet?" Jiang Yuting felt like she was about to explode and even started to suspect if the person in front of her was an imposter. She reached out to grab the face in front of her.

Jiang Xiyu quickly raised her arm to block her cousin’s hand, murmuring, "Cousin, Jiang Lingxi is too terrifying. We underestimated her before, and I really don’t want to oppose her anymore. Since the entertainnt circle has her, then it won’t have !"

Jiang Yuting decisively turned her head to instruct the driver Xiaotao, "Don’t go ho yet, head to the private hospital we went to earlier!"

She needed Jiang Xiyu to be evaluated by a psychiatrist, otherwise no one would sleep tonight!
