◎Ghostly action + domino effect superpowers◎
Jiang Ninglu tried hard to forget the unpleasantness that came with every encounter with Jiang Mingyi. She sat in front of the window, letting the island evening breeze blow through her wet hair, enjoying the rare moment of tranquility.
But an unexpected phone call broke the peace. Her biological father Jiang Wenhe, who had hardly taken care of her since he recognized her, called and hoped that she would come back home on Lingxue's birthday so that the family could get together for a good meal.
A family?
Jiang Ninglu almost wanted to laugh when she heard these three words.
When he was young, he never felt the care and warmth from his father, so his heart was inclined towards Jiang Lingxue, as if she was not his biological daughter.
I've been away from home for so many years and haven't heard any missing person notices about them.
Even in the past six months after recognizing her, his attitude towards her was very cold, and he never thought about repaying the adoptive father who raised her.
If Jiang Mingyi hadn't jumped in front of her from time to time, she would have almost forgotten that she had a real family in the true sense of the word.
Jiang Ninglu refused again, even though the man opposite her was her biological father.
As if anticipating this, the other party said in a deep voice, "I know you're blaming us, but no matter how reluctant you are, that's still your real home. If your mother were still here..."
He suddenly fell silent when he reached this point.
Through the long call, Jiang Ninglu seemed to be able to feel the air pressure on the other side suddenly drop.
In fact, Jiang Ninglu has always had a doubt in her heart.
That is, almost nothing is known about her biological mother.
Not to mention my mother's voice and appearance, I don't even know her name.
Jiang Ninglu only knew that her mother died when she was born, and she had never heard anyone mention her since she could remember.
Then came more than ten years of living in the countryside, and my sense of kinship had long faded.
But when talking about her biological mother, Jiang Ninglu's heart was still deeply touched, because she had been called a wild child since she was a child, and it was said that she had no father and no mother and was raised by a mute.
Jiang Ninglu finally agreed to attend Jiang Lingxue's birthday party. For no other reason than to go back to where she had been before and see if she could find any trace of her mother.
Jiang Wenhe seemed very satisfied, with a relieved smile in his tone: "That's right, we are still a family after all."
Jiang Ninglu rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
…
On the night of Jiang Lingxue's birthday, Jiang Ninglu packed up briefly and found the old house where she used to live according to the address Jiang Wenhe gave her.
This is a magnificent manor. When Jiang Ninglu stood outside the gate, she felt as if she was in another world.
It was in this place that she suffered all kinds of grievances as a child. She didn't understand why her father was so cold to her. She clearly saw Tan Ruk-ho treating her harshly, but she acted as if she saw nothing.
But since he doesn't like her and hasn't contacted her for more than ten years, why does he always talk about "family" at this time? He has clearly said that he will not go back, but he still comes to bother her from time to time?
Jiang Ninglu walked into the manor with a complicated and puzzled mood, and walked towards the main hall under the guidance of the manor servants.
When she opened the door, she was slightly startled by the bustling scene of people and clinking glasses before her.
What Jiang Wenhe called a small family gathering turned into a feast of celebrity gathering. The hall was decorated extremely luxuriously. The luxurious chandeliers shone on the silver-glowing utensils and high-heeled glasses on the long table, making everything in sight become dazzling and brilliant.
Jiang Lingxue was standing in such a gorgeous scene, surrounded by stars, making Jiang Ninglu look like a disheveled Cinderella who accidentally walked into a castle banquet.
Someone who was closer to the main entrance noticed the commotion here and looked over here. Seeing her outfit that was out of place for the party, a subtle expression appeared on his face.
Some people also recognized her as the poor little actress who was slandered by her fellow students and was on the hot search on Weibo a few days ago. They were even more puzzled that she could attend such an important occasion as the birthday party of the granddaughter of Mr. Tan, a powerful figure in Beijing.
Jiang Lingxue also saw her at this time, said something to the people who were talking and laughing around her, and walked over with a smile.
"Sister, you're here?"
She wore a beautiful light blue waisted long dress today. She had an international stylist come to her home to do makeup on her plain and simple face. She looked much more energetic and less sickly than the last time she was in Jiang Mingyi's video call.
But even so, she still looked a little inferior when standing next to Jiang Ninglu, who was wearing no makeup at all.
"I originally wanted to have a simple meal with my family, but Grandpa said I was too bored staying at home all year round, so I invited some people over to liven things up. Do you mind?"
What else could Jiang Ninglu say? Whatever you want to do on your birthday is your business. So what if she minds?
But before she could respond, an abrupt voice interrupted. Jiang Lingxue's celebrity bestie, Shen Shanni, walked up to them gracefully, holding a glass of red wine. "Isn't this the little star who was on the trending search a few days ago? Lingxue, why is she here?"
Jiang Lingxue smiled and pulled Jiang Ninglu over, introducing her, "This is my sister Jiang Ninglu. I mentioned her to you before."
"Your country bumpkin sister who was lost when she was young and was recognized by your father at a drinking party not long ago?" Shen Shanni looked incredulous.
Jiang Ninglu frowned inaudibly.
Jiang Lingxue quickly explained, "Shanshan has always been so outspoken. Don't take it to heart, sister. You're not unsophisticated at all."
Jiang Ninglu: “…”
"How about this, sister, you just find a place to eat something first, and I'll go entertain the guests. My home is your home, you don't have to be restrained."
Jiang Lingxue was afraid that Jiang Ninglu would be embarrassed, so she quickly came to her rescue.
"Also, do you want to go to my room and change clothes? I have a lot of beautiful skirts in my cupboard. If you see which one you like, I'll give it to you directly."
"Thank you." Jiang Ninglu refused, "I'm not used to using other people's things."
Jiang Lingxue was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Jiang Ninglu to be so straightforward.
But she quickly regained her composure and said with a tone that was somewhat regretful and helpless: "Well, have fun. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Shen Shanni followed behind her and mocked her without disguising her feelings: "She dressed so casually for such a formal occasion. No wonder your parents don't want to recognize her. It's too embarrassing."
Jiang Lingxue stopped her in a low voice: "Shanshan, don't say that. It would be so painful if my sister heard it."
"That's right. You wanted to help her but she didn't appreciate it. What do you think of yourself? If I were you, I would just disown her. She's not from the same mother, so why are you so concerned about her?"
Jiang Ninglu heard every word of their conversation, and calmly picked up a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.
In fact, Jiang Ninglu was also quite confused. She clearly remembered that Jiang Lingxue didn't like her very much when she was a child. She often pretended to cry to make everyone think that she was bullying her, which led to Tan Ru's harsh criticism and scolding.
Why is he so friendly to her now? Is it really because we haven't seen each other for many years, she has grown up and become sensible, and started to think about sisterhood?
When Jiang Ninglu was puzzled, the banquet began.
It has to be said that Jiang Lingxue's birthday party was very grand. Jiang Ninglu didn't know much about the powerful and famous people in Beijing, but he saw a few familiar faces who often appeared in financial magazines.
All this is thanks to the influence of Jiang Lingxue's grandfather, Mr. Tan, in Beijing.
Under the interweaving of lights and shadows, Mr. Tan was pushed out by Jiang Wenhe in a wheelchair, accompanied by Tan Ru and Jiang Mingyi, who was rarely dressed formally.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s in front of his elders, or because it’s such an important occasion, but his rebellious temperament is restrained, which actually reveals a bit of the dignity of a rich and noble young man. If his fans saw this, they would probably scream again.
Jiang Ninglu looked at the happy family, then looked at the lively scene in front of her, and felt as if she and these people existed in two different worlds.
Obviously today is her birthday too.
Jiang Ninglu felt inexplicably lonely.
She put down her wine glass and decided to leave this place that didn't fit in with her. She must be crazy to agree to come here with Jiang Wenhe.
The door to the main hall suddenly opened, and an extremely handsome man walked in.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he is wearing an expensive suit that exudes a cold and ascetic temperament.
He had a face that was as finely crafted as a work of art, with narrow and long eyes and a stern gaze. Although he looked to be no more than thirty years old, his whole body exuded an oppressive aura from a superior.
Jiang Ninglu felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when the man passed by her, she seemed to feel his gaze linger on her face for a few seconds.
The banquet hall was silent for a moment due to this person's arrival, and then it broke out into a commotion.
"It's Ying Chong. I didn't expect Ying Chong to appear here!"
"Is he here to celebrate Jiang Lingxue's birthday? This is too unbelievable!"
"Yes, Ying Chong is the new leader of the Ying family who took over not long ago. You are not unaware of the Ying family's complex and vast family background. Those who can rise to prominence in it are not ordinary people. I heard that many people are starting to target him."
"If that's the case, Jiang Lingxue is so lucky. She can even invite Ying Chong. Ying Chong is so handsome~"
"It's all because of her grandfather. If it weren't for her grandfather, the Jiang family would be nothing."
Amid the whispers of the people around him, the man who grabbed all the attention walked straight up to Jiang Lingxue and said something that made the girl, who looked particularly petite in front of him, feel shy. Old man Tan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, nodded repeatedly with a look of relief and satisfaction on his face, while Tan Ru, who was standing next to him, looked even more proud.
Jiang Ninglu took a few glances from afar across the crowd, then retracted her gaze, intending to quietly leave while everyone's attention was on the man.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. Her adoptive father called her via video and apologized, saying, "I was busy out early this morning and almost forgot your birthday, Xiaolu. Happy birthday."
The older brother also squeezed in happily and said excitedly, "Happy birthday, sister! Look at the birthday present I made for you! Ding ding ding~ Isn't it as cute as you?"
Lin Shuo took out a handmade deer and held it in front of Jiang Ninglu, like a primary school student waiting for praise.
"Look, it can walk!"
He put the deer on the table, and without seeing clearly where he touched it, the handmade wooden deer actually started jumping on the table vividly.
There was surprise in Jiang Ninglu's dark eyes, and the loneliness that had just surged in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Yes, she has a family that truly loves her, so why should she envy Jiang Lingxue and the others for their happy life?
"Xiaolu, are you attending some event? Why is it so lively?"
The adoptive father noticed the scene behind Jiang Ninglu and was afraid that he would delay her work, so he asked with gestures.
Jiang Ninglu hasn't told her adoptive father about the Jiang family yet. Firstly, she was afraid that they would be sad, and secondly, she had no plans to go back.
So she nodded and said, "Yes, it's a company event. I'll be back soon."
She left the hall and found a quiet corner in the corridor.
Her adoptive father then told her: "When you go back, don't forget to cook yourself a bowl of longevity noodles. You weren't at home for your birthdays these past few years, so I couldn't cook for you."
"Don't worry, Dad, I can take care of myself."
Jiang Ninglu watched her brother fiddling with the moving deer for a while, and then watched him show her a few other handicrafts. She had never seen such a proud expression on his face.
After finishing the call, Jiang Ninglu glanced at the time and realized that more than half an hour had passed without her realizing it.
The hall was still bustling with activity, so Jiang Ninglu decided to run away quickly.
A sinister voice called out to her from behind: "What are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Jiang Ninglu turned around and saw that it was Jiang Lingxue’s best friend Shen Shanni, who was glaring at her with a bad face.
Jiang Ninglu glanced around and pointed at herself: "Are you calling me?"
“What else?” Shen Shanni frowned, her bright face smelled extremely stinky, as if someone owed her hundreds of millions.
Jiang Ninglu seemed to see Jiang Mingyi in her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Shanni: “When I went to the bathroom just now, I accidentally left the necklace I gave to Lingxue on the sink. I saw you wandering there from the beginning. Did you take it away?”
Jiang Ninglu: “?”
A string of question marks slowly formed in her head. She had just made a phone call in the quiet corridor, but why was she accused of stealing other people's things?
"I didn't." Jiang Ninglu said coldly, not intending to waste any more words with this woman.
Shen Shanni grabbed her arm and said sarcastically: “The people who come here tonight are either rich or noble. Apart from you, I can’t think of anyone who would be interested in a small necklace.”
"If you can't figure it out, go to the hospital and check your brain." Jiang Ninglu is not someone who can be bullied now. She has no power here, but she cannot tolerate others trampling on her dignity.
Shen Shanni looked as if she had been poked by something, her face was a little embarrassed, and she said in annoyance: “You are indeed a bumpkin from the countryside, speaking so rudely.”
Jiang Ninglu: “???”
Is that rude?
Jiang Lingxue and Tan Ru noticed the commotion here and came over to ask what happened.
Shen Shanni's expression changed immediately and she pulled Jiang Lingxue and cried, "I'm sorry, Lingxue, I accidentally lost the gift I was going to give you."
"What does that have to do with my sister?" Jiang Lingxue looked puzzled.
Tan Ru snorted coldly beside him: "Don't you understand? It's obvious that she took it, but she refuses to admit it."
Jiang Ninglu gritted her teeth: "I don't have it."
Shen Shanni: “But I asked around if anyone went to the bathroom just now, and everyone said no!”
Jiang Lingxue roughly understood what happened from Shen Shanni's crying, looked at Jiang Ninglu, and said in a soothing tone: "Sister, we believe that you did not take Shanni's necklace, but the surveillance in the bathroom is a blind spot. Why don't you open the bag and show it to Shanni, so that Shanni will not wrongly accuse you."
"I refuse." Jiang Ninglu refused coldly, "Why should I prove my innocence if I didn't do it?"
"Sister, that's not what I meant..." Jiang Lingxue explained hurriedly, "I just wanted you to show Shanni that it wasn't you who took it."
"She must be feeling guilty. Otherwise, why wouldn't she let anyone check her bag?" Tan Ru seemed to be deliberately fanning the flames, then complained to her daughter, "I told you not to invite her over. She'd bring shame to our family if she came!"
The noise here was so loud that it gradually attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked over here.
Mr. Tan was also asking what happened. Jiang Mingyi glanced at him from a distance and said, "Grandpa, let Brother Ying Chong talk to you for a while. I'll go over and take a look."
He came to the center of the vortex, and after figuring out the situation, he asked Jiang Ninglu to open her bag to prove her innocence. Seeing that Jiang Ninglu insisted, he impatiently pulled her bag, saying that there was nothing to cover up.
He was very strong and broke the rope of the backpack without warning, and the things inside fell to the ground with a bang.
Everyone's eyes then looked towards the ground, as if she had really stolen something from someone like a thief.
But in the end, I found nothing on the ground except a bunch of keys, a small doll pendant, a lipstick and a pack of tissues.
Jiang Mingyi was stunned, a flash of regret in his eyes.
Shen Shanni had a stunned expression on her face, as did the others, who seemed surprised by the result.
Being stared at like that, Jiang Ninglu felt ashamed as if she was back in fifth grade. One time, the class fees raised for a tree planting activity were lost, and everyone suspected Jiang Ninglu, who was always reluctant to pay.
It was believed that Jiang Ninglu, who came from a poor family, had stolen the class funds.
The situation at that time was similar to the current situation. She was surrounded by a group of classmates and was accused of being a thief.
Although it was finally discovered that the class monitor in charge of class funds made a mistake at home and secretly "embezzled public funds" to temporarily make up the gap, the shame of being pointed at and called a thief by everyone still hangs over Jiang Ninglu's heart.
At this moment, he was skinned and stripped of his flesh, his wounds torn open, and his naked body was displayed to everyone.
Jiang Ninglu's heart sank to the bottom again at this moment, and she was filled with depression.
At this time, a servant came over and carefully approached Jiang Lingxue. "Miss, this is a jewelry box I found when I was cleaning the bathroom. I think the things inside are quite precious, so I wanted to ask which lady accidentally lost it."
For a moment, everyone present was slapped in the face.
Shen Shanni's expression gradually became unbearable, while Tan Ru had an expression of utter shame.
"Well, it's good that you found it, it's good that you found it. It turned out to be a misunderstanding." Jiang Lingxue saw the awkward atmosphere and quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Shanni, quickly apologize to your sister."
Shen Shanni took the jewelry box and said sorry reluctantly.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and Jiang Lingxue asked everyone to forget the unpleasantness and continue having fun.
Jiang Ninglu watched as the banquet hall returned to its bustling and lively state, as if nothing had happened just now. No one cared that someone's dignity had just been shattered under the gorgeous chandelier.
Jiang Ninglu called out to the system: "Xiao Ba, open the panel."
0328 was also standing up for the host at this time.
These people are too much. How can they bully his host like this!
Especially the host's family. Not only did they not help her, but they also joined forces with outsiders to bully her.
Woo woo woo~ I feel so sorry for the host.
[Here I come, here I come. Host, please see if you have any superpowers that can fight back.]
Jiang Ninglu stared at the panel quietly, his eyes as deep as if dipped in ink.
Her eyes were fixed on the introduction of a superpower skill called "Ghostly Action", and she curled the corners of her lips.
So, in the middle of the hall, Shen Shanni, who was trying to strike up a conversation with Ying Chong, suddenly started dancing uncontrollably, making jaw-dropping movements.
Shen Shanni is also a wealthy lady from a good family. Because of her family's pampering and her own superior conditions, she has an arrogant and proud personality and is always decent and elegant in front of outsiders.
However, at this moment, she seemed to have gone mad, and not a single bone in her body was under her control.
Shen Peishan was extremely scared. She felt the doubtful gaze from her idol and the strange looks from the people around her, and she was about to cry.
But her hands and feet were completely out of control.
Jiang Ninglu watched her jump from Ying Chong to Jiang Lingxue, then to Old Man Tan who was sitting in a wheelchair, and then to the middle of the terrified guests.
She moved her fingers slightly, and the speed in the void doubled.
That’s right, this “ghostly action” superpower can also be accelerated, just like the speed-up effect on a certain video website.
Jiang Ninglu smiled evilly and increased the speed by x1.5, x2, x2.5...
I saw Shen Shanni’s hands and feet moving faster and faster, even dancing out afterimages.
In the end, due to exhaustion, his hands and feet could not keep up with the movements, and he fell to the ground with a terrible fall.
Jiang Lingxue was in a state of shock with her eyes wide open and her mouth open the whole time. When she saw her friend fall to the ground, she came to her senses and hurried over to help her.
Seeing this, Jiang Ninglu leisurely clicked on a skill on the panel - Domino Effect.
I'm curious what this "superpower" will be used for.
Then she saw Jiang Lingxue, who had gone to help Shen Shanni, stepped on something and fell to the ground.
When Tan Ru saw her frail and sickly daughter fall, she hurried to pull her up with concern, but she slipped and fell to the ground.
She stretched out her hand desperately trying to grab something to prevent herself from falling, but she grabbed a corner of the tablecloth on the long table next to her that was covered with drinks and dishes.
As the tablecloth was torn off, the wine, food and a huge seven-layer cake specially made for Jiang Lingxue on the long table all fell down, landing on Tan Ru, Shen Shanni and Jiang Lingxue who were dressed in luxurious clothes, making them look miserable.
Jiang Mingyi saw his mother and sister fall, and hurried to help them. As soon as his hand touched Jiang Lingxue's, he slipped on the cake cream under his feet, and his whole body leaned forward and fell heavily to the ground, with his handsome face buried in the huge cake.
Absolutely funny.
The hall fell into a strange chaos for a while, and no matter who tried to help them, they would be caught up in the mess.
Jiang Ninglu looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and slowly curled the corners of his lips.
These "ghostly moves" and "domino effect" superpowers... are quite useful.

The Almighty Female Supporting Character, Complaining About Getting Rich
Yan Qingqing is a complaining up-host with millions of fans. With her "□□ little mouth", she makes sharp comments all over the Internet and has made countless enemies in the entertainment industry.
One day, she died suddenly while watching a video. She then transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting role in a novel, who was riddled with scandals and was told to get out of the entertainment industry.
Yan Qingqing: Just get out of here, wouldn’t it be nice to go back to your old job and make some money?
Soon——
"Desperate actors, even a chicken can act better than you if you scatter some rice on the ground. My advice is to change careers as soon as possible."
"Rich and noble son? You can cheat on the ladies, but don't cheat on yourself ^_^"

Videos like these suddenly appeared and swept the homepages of major platforms.
Yan Qingqing's account "I'm just a fun person" became a hit, but unsurprisingly, she once again became the public enemy of the entire network.
Yan Qingqing: It doesn’t matter, as long as I’m happy counting money.
After a while——
A desperate actor turned singer, his talent activated, and he took the music scene by storm.
A wealthy nobleman was exposed as a debtor who cheated fans and their money.
The glory of Chinese opera has become the shame of Chinese opera because many people involved in the drama were "honored" on the legal column.

Top star Gu Cen is a hot topic in the entertainment industry. As long as you tag him, the topic will be maxed out.
As a money-loving and fun-loving person, Yan Qingqing would naturally not miss such a large mobile "vault".
Until one day, when I was working on a video on the set, a deep and magnetic voice came from behind me.
"Always handsome, always stubborn, always refusing to admit a relationship..."
"Are you talking about you and me when you're in a relationship?"
Yan Qingqing: “?”
Oops, the vest fell off!
No, who did he just say he was with?
A money-loving, fun-loving guy who only wants to play badly in the entertainment industry vs. a top-tier male star who is deeply blackened and naturally loves M
