Lu Xin was even more moved: "Waaah, Wuli Zaozao, I'm really falling in love with you! Why don't you break up with Lu Jinye and be with you?!"

Jiang Zao couldn't stop laughing: "Aren't you a fan of Lu Jinye? You're trying to steal your idol's girlfriend!"

Lu Xin snorted: "I find myself getting more and more jealous of him. What idol? Ever since you got together with him, I feel like he's becoming less and less good enough for you!"

Jiang Zao: "..."

This is what best friends and boyfriends are like? Eternal rivalry!?

She never expected that starting a relationship would cure Lu Xin's obsession with celebrities.

Lu Xin was still holding Jiang Zao and whimpering.

Jiang Zao smiled and rubbed her head.

In the end, Lu Xin was so happy that she went to Longlin Entertainment to sign a contract.

Holding the freshly printed contract, Lu Xin kissed it, her lips still carrying the scent of paper and ink, and went home.

Lu Xin insisted on dragging Jiang's parents and Jiang Zao out to eat, saying she wanted to treat them to a big meal.

Jiang Zao and her family cooperated with smiles.

While on the road, Jiang Zao answered the phone.

It belongs to Zhong Liang.

Zhong Liang: "President Jiang, the person you instructed to spread rumors about you has already been sentenced."

"He was sentenced to three years. All the materials have been submitted, and Li Wenhui has also released a clarification video online."

Jiang Zao nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zhong Liang smiled and said, "President Jiang, it's no trouble at all. These are all small cases for you."

Jiang Zao: "Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to eat."

Hang up the phone.

Aunt Jiang leaned closer: "What's up?"

Jiang Zao: "Ah, it was a while ago that rumors were circulating online that I was being kept by Lu Jinye. Now the rumor-mongers have released a clarification video online."

"Moreover, this person has already been sentenced to three years in prison."

Lu Xin chimed in, "That's great! From now on, all those who spread rumors should be dealt with according to this standard. Let's see if they dare to talk nonsense online again!"

Mr. Jiang nodded: "Exactly! Serves him right! And he's a student at Peking University, what kind of manners is that!"

Jiang nodded and sent a WeChat message to Zheng Zhong, asking him to boost the traffic of Li Wenhui's clarification video and get it trending on social media.

Jiang Zao's family found a restaurant serving stewed in an iron pot and enjoyed the delicious food.

Another storm swept across the internet, with a large number of netizens flooding Jiang Zao's Weibo.

Netizen 1: [I knew it, Jiang Zao isn't that kind of person!]

Netizen 2: [Yes, Jiang Zao's appearance doesn't suggest she's being kept.]

Netizen 3: [So... Jiang Zao herself is that rich!? No wonder she's not going to be in the entertainment industry anymore; she was just doing it for fun. I'm so envious.]

Netizen 2: [Wow, rich, beautiful, and with a great figure, she's a total "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman. I think she's a bit of a waste to be paired with Lu Jinye!]

Netizen 5: [Thanks for the invitation. Don't drag others down with you. The young couple is doing very well now, so don't stir up hatred!]

…………

The internet is calm and peaceful, as if the netizens who previously criticized Jiang Zao never existed.

Sure enough, you can't trust any information online; it's all nonsense, a mix of truth and falsehood.

Jiang Zao's normal life finally came to an end on the day of the exam. She entered the exam room calmly and left the exam room calmly.

Don't ask!

The answer is simply too simple...

No problem at all if it's number one.

New Year's Day is just around the corner, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang started decorating the villa early on with the housekeeper and nanny.

The whole place was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Lu Jinye also made a point of setting aside New Year's Day. He spent the noon at his own home with his grandmother and sister to celebrate the New Year, and the evening with Jiang Zao's family.

Lu Xin's parents were originally supposed to return to China, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they couldn't come back. After a moment of sadness, Lu Xin quickly regained her usual cheerful demeanor.

Only Jiang Zao felt sorry for Lu Xin and gave her a big hug.

Lu Xin's eyes suddenly reddened, and she casually patted Jiang Zao's shoulder: "Zao Zao, I'm fine, I'm used to it."

Jiang Zao felt sorry for him: "What do you mean by 'getting used to'? If you want to cry, just cry! Why hold it in!"

Lu Xin burst into tears: "Waaaaah! Do they even remember that I'm only 18 years old?!"

"It's always like this, you always stand me up!"

"Do they even love me...?"

Jiang Zao patted Lu Xin's back with both hands: "Xin Xin..."

Hearing the commotion, Jiang's parents came out and saw Lu Xin crying. Their eyes also filled with heartache.

They knew that Lu Xin was always cheerful and happy, but deep down she missed her parents very much.

Lu Xin's parents are truly irresponsible, often leaving Lu Xin to live alone.

Every time Jiang Zao brought Lu Xin home, there was a hint of unease in her eyes. They understood that she was afraid of being disliked by them.

Jiang's mother tugged at Jiang's father's hand: "Binzi, let's recognize Xinxin as our goddaughter!"

Mr. Jiang looked at Mrs. Jiang, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Alright! Lu Xin's parents don't know how to love her, so we'll do it! What a load of rubbish!"

Jiang's mother: "Exactly! Anyone can be a parent! If you're going to have a child and then not care about it, don't have one! Damn it!"

Father Jiang nodded!

Lu Xin downstairs cried for a while, then calmed down and wiped the tears from her face.

Lu Xin was a little embarrassed: "Zaozao, I wasn't feeling bad at all, but when you comforted me, I couldn't help myself."

Jiang Zao took a tissue and wiped away Lu Xin's tears: "Yeah, that means you're still feeling wronged, but nobody cares about you, so you have to bear it all by yourself!"

"Tell me, do you often cry secretly behind my back?"

Lu Xin pouted, her eyes reddening again, but she blinked and patted Jiang Zao: "Hey! Don't think about these things!"

"I know now that I am very happy. I have people who care about me, and I have the love of my parents! I don't miss them very much anymore, really."

Jiang Zao looked at Lu Xin with heartache, but in the end, she didn't say anything and just nodded.

Jiang Zao comforted Lu Xin, while Jiang's parents prepared things for the family reunion, wanting to give Lu Xin a surprise.

However, this surprise was shattered when it was told to Jiang Zao.

Jiang's parents secretly told Jiang Zao about their plan behind Lu Xin's back.

The two looked at Jiang Zao with anticipation, hoping she would jump up excitedly.

Jiang Zao looked speechless: "Mom and Dad... have you ever thought about whether Xin Xin is willing or not!?"

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were taken aback.

Father Jiang: "...Um...it seems so, we need Xin Xin's permission first..."

Aunt Jiang slapped her forehead: "Look at our forgetfulness, we forgot about that! Now we're doomed, the surprise is definitely over..."

Jiang Zao looked at her parents and smiled helplessly: "Mom and Dad, why don't we have any surprises? You should ask Xin Xin if she's willing. If she is, then prepare your own surprise. She'll definitely love it!"

After thinking for a moment, Aunt Jiang said, "Yes, let's do it this way!"
