Chapter 142 You only want me?
When Ni Xiao arrived, he saw Jiang Luo and He Ziyan calmly dealing with the reporters.
The two stood side by side, arms crossed, seemingly inseparable. They would glance at each other and smile gently as they spoke, like a loving newlywed couple.
Wow, what a perfect match.
The current situation seemed to require no involvement from her, so Ni Xiao simply became an observer, standing quietly with her arms crossed, listening attentively.
The reporters did not make things difficult for Jiang Luo and He Ziyan anymore.
The impromptu "mini press conference" concluded successfully in the evening.
As Jiang Luo got up to see the reporters off, she noticed Ni Xiao. "When did you arrive?"
"It's been a while."
"Then you should have heard my answer just now... Do you have any questions?" Jiang Luo was still a little scared, worried that she might have said something wrong and given the media something to talk about.
Ni Xiao gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, well-spoken, a mature artist."
Jiang Luo touched her nose, feeling embarrassed. "That's good. Actually, I was quite flustered inside."
Smiling, she turned her gaze to He Ziyan, who was talking to his assistant outside the door.
The sky, which was somewhat overcast in the morning, has now cleared up and the sun shines down in large swaths, making the sky bright and clear.
The floor-to-ceiling windows softened the harshness of the light, making it gentler and more inviting.
Standing in that light, He Ziyan looked like an angel descended from heaven, beautiful and holy.
How can there be such wonderful people in this world?
She paused for a moment, then said, "He Ziyan is the one who leads the way."
"Hmm." Ni Xiao nodded as she looked at Jiang Luo side by side. "Not bad. I agree to this marriage."
"Hmm..." Jiang Luo hummed unconsciously before realizing what Ni Xiao was saying, and asked rather shyly, "What is it..."
Smoothing her hair, Ni Xiao nudged her with her arms crossed, "Looking forward to your good news..."
She hummed twice more, then couldn't help but look at He Ziyan again, her eyes shimmering with tears, like a rainbow hanging in the sky after the rain.
What more could one ask for in life than to have He Ziyan?
Ni Xiao and Jiang Luo watched for a while, then reminded her to be careful and stay away from Xu Jingyan.
Jiang Luo deeply agreed and followed Ni Xiao's instructions.
That night, Xu Jingyan returned to the cabin as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Luo originally thought that seeing her again would be a little awkward, but she was overthinking it. Those who can stay in the entertainment industry for a long time are all respectable people. Respectable people believe that even if they have a lot of hatred, they cannot affect their appearance on the same stage. They are just like strangers.
They acted as strangers to each other, trying to avoid interacting with one another.
Jiang Luo thought that, given Xu Jingyan's personality, perhaps one day in the future, she would suddenly become close to her again and play the role of "good friend" in a whimsical way.
Let your future self decide what the future holds.
Days went by as usual.
Polaris Entertainment sued the owner of the @GuardianYanbaoBase account, only to discover that the owner was a 15-year-old middle school student.
The student insisted that the whole thing was her idea and that Xu Jingyan had no involvement whatsoever.
All relevant records have been deleted, and there is no way to corroborate them.
The student's parent requested an out-of-court settlement, which Jiang Luo accepted.
At the scene, the students' parents were in tears, and some even knelt down to beg Jiang Luo to forgive their children.
Ni Xiao gave the choice to Jiang Luo, and Jiang Luo ultimately chose to forgive.
She thought that everyone makes mistakes.
The final decision was to have the student write an apology letter and pin it to the top of their Weibo account. Polaris Entertainment reserves the right to pursue legal action against them.
Jiang Luo wasn't sure if it was really worth it, but she still wanted to believe that most of the malice online was confined to the internet.
“If it were me, I probably wouldn’t choose to forgive.” Ni Xiao said truthfully as they walked back with Jiang Luo. “It might make you think I’m a bit cold, but that’s really what I think. I believe that people should pay the price for their mistakes, regardless of whether the other party is a middle school student or an adult.”
Jiang Luo pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. She wasn't good at arguing, especially with people close to her.
“However,” Ni Xiao said, a relieved smile appearing on his face as he gripped the steering wheel, “I can understand why you didn’t continue to sue her.”
Jiang Luo's eyes lit up as she turned to look at her.
"Because you are a kind person, and there is light in your heart, you are willing to leave her a chance to live."
Jiang Luo scratched her face. "I thought you were going to call me stupid."
“You’re not stupid. Although there are always self-proclaimed smart people who see other people’s kindness as stupidity, I’m not that stupid,” Ni Xiao said with a laugh.
Goodness and foolishness are often confused, but they are clearly different.
“However,” Ni Xiao suddenly sighed, “I’ve come to understand something today.”
Jiang Luo quickly asked, "What?"
"The hearts of parents are all the same..." The last syllable was drawn out infinitely, lingering on the track of sorrow. Ni Xiao continued, "That mother was crying so hard just now, it almost brought tears to my eyes."
Jiang Luo, however, grasped a different key point: "Do you cry too?"
"Pfft, what kind of question is that? Of course I cry too!" Ni Xiao unconsciously raised her voice.
From the first time Jiang Luo met her, she felt that she was an AI-like person, so rational that she seemed to have no emotions, so powerful that she was omnipotent, and so self-disciplined that it was frightening.
Jiang Luo pressed further, "When was the last time you cried?"
Perhaps it was the glaring afternoon light, but Ni Xiao squinted slightly. "Fifteen...six...seven years ago, I think."
Jiang Luo: "..."
Iron Woman?
Never shed a tear?
The banter was always fun, and laughter would occasionally slip out through the cracks in the car window.
At the intersection, the light is red, and the car stops.
At the busy intersection, the flow of people and vehicles is endless, like dense threads on a loom, flowing and running in parallel.
"That...that is..."
The car window reflected light onto Ni Xiao's face, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Following her gaze, Jiang Luo saw the huge screen on the towering Century Tower, densely covered with text, black characters on a white background.
The sunlight was strong and the reflection was obvious. In order to see clearly, she had to lean her head forward slightly, and then she was stunned.
It's that apology letter!
Someone projected an apology letter onto a large screen!
This is undoubtedly even more explosive than the instigator coming forward to apologize!
Jiang Luo could imagine that at this very moment, Weibo's trending topics must be full of apology letters.
Who would do something so unexpected?
First, this person needs to know her whereabouts in advance, and know that she is here today to discuss the outcome.
Secondly, this person must be rich enough to book the entire screen of the Century Tower.
The answer is obvious.
It is He Ziyan.
It must be He Ziyan!
Despite guessing the answer, Jiang Luo didn't feel the excitement or exhilaration she should have felt.
For some reason, a wave of sourness welled up in her nose.
With trembling hands, she dialed He Ziyan's number.
The call was answered immediately, but the first words were not spoken to her. A clear, crisp voice came through: "The meeting is suspended for ten minutes. Everyone, please take a break."
They're in a meeting.
I was in a meeting, but I still answered her call.
"Luo Luo?" He Ziyan's voice rang out again.
