Chapter 29
"Young Master Jiang, it's her. I just came over to show my concern for her, but she mocked me and scolded me!" Ye Wan said softly.
Jiang Ran clapped his hands a few times and said, "Ye Wanrou, if you use your acting skills in your acting career, you will win the Best Actress award. What a waste of talent."
Jiang Ran's sarcasm made Ye Wanrou's face turn pale and blue.
"You go in first." Jiang Yao said to Ye Wanrou.
"But, Mr. Jiang..." Ye Wanrou still wanted to stay and see how Jiang Yao would teach Jiang Ran a lesson.
"Be good and listen to me." Jiang Yao's tone was gentle, but his eyes were filled with majesty that could not be refused.
No matter how willful and capricious Ye Wanrou was, she still felt a little afraid when facing Jiang Yao.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll wait for you inside." After Ye Wanrou said this, she walked away, looking back every few steps.
Jiang Yao sat down in the seat in front of Luo Qingli, crossed his hands on the table. The simple action looked very beautiful.
When Jiang Yao sat in front of him, Luo Qingli vaguely felt that there were some similarities between him and Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran was the kind of person with impactful beauty, while Jiang Yao was the kind of person with reserved beauty.
"Jiang Ran, haven't you had enough of the games in the entertainment industry?" Jiang Yao asked lightly.
Jiang Ran sneered and said, "It's a game for you, but not for me. It's my career and my passion."
Jiang Yao sighed softly, as if Jiang Ran sitting in front of him was an ignorant and willful little girl.
"What kind of career is being an actor? It only brings shame to the Jiang family. When did we, the Jiang family, need to make money by showing off our smiles to outsiders?"
Jiang Yao's words completely angered Jiang Ran. She glared at Jiang Yao and said, "Actor? I didn't know you were still living in the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty has already fallen! Besides, I've never used the Jiang family's name outside, and I don't want to be a member of the Jiang family. Can't you just treat me as dead?"
"No, Jiang Ran, no matter what, you are my sister and I have to take care of you." Jiang Yao said gently, but his tone was undoubtedly tough.
Jiang Yao's words completely ignited Jiang Ran. She raised her voice, pointed at Jiang Yao and said, "I have never acknowledged you as my brother, and you don't need me as your sister. You just want to show your authority over me!"
Jiang Ran's words did not touch Jiang Yao. He remained calm with a decent smile on his face.
"Jiang Ran, stop being so willful and go back to the Jiang family. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do next."
Jiang Ran stared at Jiang Yao, his chest heaving and his face flushed red.
It was the first time that Luo Qingli saw Jiang Ran so angry. This Jiang Yao really knew how to control Jiang Ran.
"Mr. Jiang, although you are Ranran's brother, Ranran is already an adult and has the right to choose her own job. Blood relationship is not a reason for you to interfere in other people's lives." Luo Qingli said calmly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Qingli, as if he had just discovered that there was someone sitting next to Jiang Ran.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm Jiang Ran's friend, and I'm also her investor."
"Oh~" Jiang Yao responded and looked at Luo Qingli with interest.
Jiang Yao's gaze might be oppressive to others, but not to Luo Qingli. After all, she could even face Ji Jinsi's gaze calmly.
Luo Qingli raised her head, looked directly into Jiang Yao's eyes and said, "Since three years ago, I have been with Ranran all the way. You don't know how hard it has been for her, but I do. From being deceived, abused, and discriminated against in the beginning to now having so many fans who love her and having her own works, Ranran's journey has been no harder than yours!"
Luo Qingli didn't care about Jiang Yao's reaction, but wanted to tell her arrogant brother about the hardships she had experienced along the way.
"Mr. Jiang, you may be successful now and have your own career, but if you weren't a member of the Jiang family, would your career have been so smooth? Do you have the courage to abandon the Jiang family's support and fight on your own?"
"In my eyes, Jiang Ran is much more capable than you. As long as she is self-reliant and doesn't take shortcuts, her achievements are what she deserves. No one can belittle her, laugh at her, or use their shallow and outdated ideas to force her to go a path she doesn't want to take!"
Luo Qingli's soft yet firm voice slowly fell. Jiang Ran listened from the side, and tears filled her eyes.
The feeling of finally being recognized by someone lingered in her heart. She held Luo Qingli's hand and smiled at him.
"Qingli, it's great to have you as a friend."
Jiang Yao was stunned. The gentle and firm voice of the girl opposite him echoed in his mind. He couldn't help but nod to accept her point of view.
After a moment, Jiang Yao put away his nonchalant smile, looked at Luo Qingli and said, "All these high-sounding principles you said are useless. She can't create any value in the entertainment industry. She's just wasting her time."
"Then what is value to Mr. Jiang? Is simply having a legitimate job in the eyes of others considered value? Even after Ranran returns to the Jiang family, you find her a man of equal status to marry and let her be a housewife and bear children. Is this value?"
Luo Qingli looked at Jiang Yao and said slowly: "As long as you think you have done what you want to do and work hard for it, it is valuable. It has nothing to do with what profession you are in."
"Besides," Luo Qingli looked at Jiang Ran, "Ranran is now a rising star. She can use her influence to spread the right values to her fans. In this respect, isn't she more valuable than you?"
Jiang Yao was silent for a moment. He stood up, stared at Luo Qingli and asked, "What's your name?"
"What do you want to do? Do you want revenge?" Jiang Ran immediately stepped forward to protect him.
"No, I just feel that I have benefited a lot and wanted to ask the name of this good teacher."
Luo Qingli patted the back of Jiang Ran's hand to comfort her, then looked at Jiang Yao and replied, "My name is Luo Qingli. Mr. Jiang wouldn't do anything that a gentleman wouldn't do."
"Luo Qingli." Jiang Yao repeated softly, then looked at Jiang Ran and said, "Forget it, I won't do anything to you anymore, but as your brother, I still hope you give up the entertainment industry and return to the Jiang family."
Jiang Yao left without waiting for Jiang Ran's reaction after he finished speaking.
Jiang Ran looked at Luo Qingli in disbelief, "Qingli, did I hear correctly? He said he won't trip me up again!"
Jiang Ran's silly look made Luo Qingli laugh. She smiled and said, "Yes, you heard it right."
Jiang Ran hugged Luo Qingli excitedly, "Qingli, you are really my lucky star. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not be able to make it!"
"Don't say that. Maybe your efforts touched Jiang Yao." Luo Qingli patted Jiang Ran on the back with a gentle look on his face.
Having solved a big problem, Jiang Ran was in a good mood, and her appetite also improved. She ate almost half of the next dish, and in the end she was so full that she could hardly walk.
Luo Qingli slowly accompanied her out of the restaurant, his face full of helplessness.
"If you can't eat anymore, then don't eat. Why eat so much at once? Don't get too full. Let's go to the pharmacy and buy some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets later."
Jiang Ran had a silly smile on her face. The dark clouds that had been weighing on her for so long had finally dissipated, and she could finally bask in the sunshine. How could she not be happy?
"I'm so happy, so happy. I don't have to live under Jiang Yao's shadow anymore! Qingli, wait for me to rest for a while. We can go shopping somewhere else and have something delicious to eat tonight!"
After the two left, Jiang Yao and Ye Wanrou came out of the restaurant.
"I still have things to do at the company, so you can go back by yourself. Don't even think about Jiang Ran's movie, I'll invest in another one for you." After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he left without caring about Ye Wanrou.
Ye Wanrou's face, which originally had a gentle smile on it, immediately darkened after Jiang Yao left.
She just didn't understand what Jiang Ran said that made Jiang Yao give up opposing her. Was there any relationship between the two of them?
It's impossible. I also suspected at the beginning whether Jiang Ran had any relationship with the Jiang family, but since Jiang Ran entered the industry, he has had no capital support behind him, so it is impossible for him to be a member of the Jiang family.
Could it be that Jiang Ran seduced Jiang Yao!
The more Ye Wanrou thought about it, the angrier she became, and suddenly she thought of Luo Qingli.
Jiang Ran is so confident, it must be because she is hooking up with Luo Qingli. Luo Qingli is so proud, all because of Ji Jinsi. If Ji Jinsi abandons Luo Qingli, wouldn't she be at the mercy of Ji Jinsi?
Thinking of this, Ye Wanrou picked up her phone and made a call.
"Hello, Sister Yanran, it's me, Wanrou. I have something to tell you. Ye Qingli has appeared..."
On Sunday, Jiang Ran went out again. Her recently aired large-scale costume TV series "Pearls" became a hit, and her schedule increased as a result. She even had to participate in a variety show about this TV series.
Today, Jiang Ran went to have a meeting with the variety show director.
Luo Qingli had a rare moment of free time, and since she had nothing to do at home alone, she made a video call to Xiaobao.
Xiaobao looked a little darker than before she left. Aunt Lin said that it was because Professor Lin often took Xiaobao to the wild to get in touch with nature.
Luo Qingli is very relieved about Professor Lin's approach. For children, staying at home all the time is not good for their physical and mental development. They still need to have more contact with nature.
Soon it was Monday, the day when Luo Qingli officially went to Linju to "work".
Uncle Liu would pick her up downstairs at 8:30 sharp. Luo Qingli went out early on purpose and bought two breakfasts from the bun shop that Jiang Ran had taken her to before.
I don’t know if Uncle Liu has had breakfast, but this is also a token of my appreciation for him.
Luo Qingli was waiting at the gate of the community with breakfast in her hand, and soon saw a familiar car parked in front of her.
She opened the car door and got in. Unexpectedly, besides Uncle Liu, Ji Jinsi was also in the car.
