Jiang He had no idea what he was imagining that made him so defensive.
He ignored Jiang Bai and simply didn't bother with him.
But if Jiang Bai dances right in front of him, then he shouldn't blame Jiang Bai for being impolite.
Snap—
Without hesitation, Jiang He raised her hand and slapped Jiang Bai hard across the face!
Jiang He used all her strength to deliver that slap.
Caught off guard, Jiang Bai staggered from the blow, nearly falling. Clutching his swollen face and mouth, he couldn't believe it and roared furiously.
"Jiang He! How dare you, how dare you hit me!"
"What right do you have to hit me?"
"I'll hit you whenever I want, do I need a reason or to pick a day?"
Jiang He sneered, and without thinking, slapped Jiang Bai again, making sure the slap was symmetrical.
"You came here asking for a beating, so what if I hit you?"
"Don't think I don't know about your previous schemes, Jiang Bai. Let me tell you, these two slaps are just interest."
"Your retribution is yet to come, just you wait."
After saying that, Jiang He snorted coldly, pushed Jiang Bai aside, and entered the elevator without any hesitation.
Jiang Bai was startled by the phrase "your retribution is yet to come."
By the time they realized what was happening and tried to chase after them, the elevator doors had already closed.
He could only slam his fist against the locked elevator door in resentment and unease, trying to console himself.
"Impossible. Why would Jiang He retaliate against me? Yes, he must be bluffing and just making threats."
"Even if Jiang He is different now, so what? Can he alone compare to the Jiang family with its deep-rooted heritage?"
"With my parents and older sister around, they won't let Jiang He lay a finger on me again."
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai gave up on treating the wounds Jiang He had inflicted on his face.
I put on a mask and covered myself completely before returning to the hotel.
Given how much the Jiang family cares about him, they will definitely call tonight or at the latest tomorrow to ask about his situation.
If he calls first, it will seem like he's complaining.
But when the Jiang family called, it was a different story.
He will then subtly hint that something is amiss, prompting them to call in via video to ask further questions.
Once he saw the injury on his face, he pretended to be forced to tell them everything Jiang He had done.
At that time, they will definitely be completely disappointed in Jiang He and will not give her any hope of becoming famous.
They will only suppress him and make him unable to threaten him anymore.
Jiang He was unaware that Jiang Bai was so petty, plotting and scheming to complain to the Jiang family.
After slapping Jiang Bai twice, Jiang He felt refreshed and much more at ease.
After returning to the hotel and washing up, I lay down on the bed and completely relaxed, falling asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up, I realized I had slept for more than three hours, and it was already 12:10 a.m.
I'm a little hungry; I didn't eat dinner last night.
Considering that this is my first time in Hangzhou, and that it's not too late at this time of day.
For some, the nightlife is just beginning.
Jiang He decided to give up on ordering food from the hotel, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out to stroll through the night market and try some local snacks.
The ride-hailing car had already arrived when I left the hotel.
After getting into the car, Jiang He heard a familiar song coming from the driver's phone.
"I am still amazed by how vast the world is."
"Also, I am captivated by the sweet nothings I shared as a child."
"Nothing remains but truth and falsehood, no struggle, just a pointless joke..."
Isn't this the song he sang, "The Wind Rises"?
I glanced at the driver's phone and found that it was a screen recording of him singing "The Wind Rises" during a live stream.
The first time I heard myself sing in person, and the driver clearly liked it a lot, humming along as he drove.
Jiang He felt a mixture of pride and embarrassment.
How can you run into your own fans while taking a taxi?
And just then, I heard the wind rising in my own ears.
The driver was an extremely talkative middle-aged man, a typical E-person. When he saw Jiang He looking at his phone, he assumed that Jiang He had never heard the song before and was also interested in it.
So, they enthusiastically recommended it.
"Young man, you haven't heard this song before, have you? Hey, let me tell you, it's called 'The Wind Rises,' and my daughter shared it with me."
"It's a pity there's no audio; we can only listen to it by watching this screen recording."
"But this song is absolutely amazing, it's incredibly beautiful. I love listening to music while driving, and after all these years, this is the first time I've heard a song that touches my heart so deeply, a song that I want to listen to again and again."
"I don't know how this singer named Jiang He is so amazing, he can actually sing such a good song."
"I'm too old to understand these things, young man. You must know a lot online. Can you tell me about Jiang He? Besides 'The Wind Rises,' what other works has he done?"
"I want to listen to his songs again, and my daughter says she really likes him. Where can I buy his albums? It's my daughter's birthday next week, so I'd like to buy some as a birthday present..."
The driver was still rambling on, making Jiang He feel both embarrassed and secretly pleased.
So this is what it feels like to be liked, welcomed, and admired?
That was awesome.
"Hey, young man, why aren't you saying anything..."
The driver was puzzled as to why Jiang He hadn't said anything. He glanced at Jiang He in the rearview mirror, and the more he looked, the more confused he became.
