Chapter 1098: Eat Mine

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The scenes in the past passed by like a lantern. Yang Xiao Tao remembered the thing she picked up that day.

Jiang Chu watched as Xiao Tao remained motionless for two minutes. Then, smoke erupted from the top of her head, and her CPU was completely burned!

He opened the door and got out of the car, ignoring her.

When they arrived at the television station, the staff was already waiting at the door.

On New Year’s Eve, the television station was obviously quieter than usual.

Most of the staff were on annual leave. Those who were still working today were all from the program team of Tonight’s Warmth.

Everyone was preparing for today’s live broadcast.

They did not dare to complain about working overtime during the new year. Everyone had a serious expression on their faces.

Tonight’s Warmth was the television station’s top-rated talk show with the highest viewership ratings, and the special live broadcast for the new year, which was only held once a year, was the most important recording.

Ms. Lan wouldn’t allow anything to go wrong with today’s show. Offending her today was equivalent to committing suicide. Jiang Chu knew this very well.

He was brought to the dressing room, and the staff said that this was his room for the day. Jiang Chu thanked her, and the staff looked at him. “Go down the corridor, the innermost room…is Ms. Lan’s dressing room. Go over after you’re done with your makeup. Ms. Lan said she wants to see you…”

Jiang Chu’s hands tightened. “Okay.”

The staff member nodded and left.

Jiang Chu retracted his gaze. He was about to push the door open and enter when his other hand held the door of the dressing room before him.

“Ah, it’s Miss Jiang. Let’s go in together!”

As she looked over, Jiang Mi heard the girl’s warm and cheerful voice.

Ai Yan smiled as she spoke to him.

Jiang Chu was stunned. He seemed to have realized something.

When Ai Yan pushed the door open, she subconsciously looked over. Sure enough, there were two makeup booths in the dressing room, and Su Ji was already sitting in the one by the window.

Her two long, straight, and fair legs were resting on the bench, and she was casually flipping through a magazine in her hands. Her stomach was completely hidden from her half-lying position, and she was still as calm as ever. If anyone saw her, they would not be able to look away.

It was not until Su Ji looked at him that he snapped back to reality and moved his gaze away from her.

“Where’s Xiao Tao?” Su Ji spoke unhurriedly and glanced behind him. “She didn’t come with you?”

Jiang Chu did not know that Yang Xiao Tao had told Su Ji in advance that she was coming. He paused for a moment. “She’s still in the parking lot. She has something to do…if you need her, I’ll call her for you.”

His voice was not as high-pitched as usual. His voice was light and neutral, which was a little out of place with his current appearance.

Ai Yan and Ai Meng looked at each other and couldn’t tell what was strange.

Su Ji shrugged. “It’s nothing. I’m just hungry.”

“Ah?” Jiang Chu looked up, not understanding what she meant.

What did being hungry have to do with Yang Xiao Tao? Did she want to eat…

Before his face turned red, Su Ji spoke again. “Didn’t she say that she was bringing the Gorgon Fruit Cake?”

That was why she hadn’t eaten anything since she arrived.

Jiang Chu finally understood. He wanted to laugh, as if he had returned to the past, but when the string in his mind was reconnected, he retracted the smile on his lips.

One should not sin.

Otherwise, retribution would be all on him in the end.

Ai Yan asked, “Miss Jiang, which area of the parking lot is Miss Yang in?”

Her voice pulled Jiang Chu back from his thoughts. When they met eyes, Ai Yan said, “you can stay here and put on your makeup. I’ll go down and get it.”

“Don’t trouble yourself.” Jiang Chu pursed his lips and placed his bag of Gorgon Fruit Cakes on the dressing table in front of Su Ji. He did not look over. When he sat down in front of the dressing mirror, he looked into the mirror and said in a warm voice, “eat mine.”

Su Ji glanced at the bag. A few seconds later, she smiled. “Thank you.”

Jiang Chu silently nodded at the makeup artist.

He was especially obedient and sensible today.

When the makeup artist was applying eyeliner, she accidentally poked his eyeball. He glanced at Su Ji and swallowed the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth.

This made the makeup artist have a good impression of him.

Jiang Chu still remembered Yang Xiao Tao’s expression of complete disbelief when she understood what he meant in the parking lot.

He seemed to have foreseen his future.

In fact, the Pei family and the Su family had already seen through his identity that day. He thought that he would be finished soon.

However, the next few days were calm, as if nothing had happened.

Knowing that he was the culprit, Jiang Chu thought that at the very least, Pei Huai would take revenge on him. For example, he would give him a taste of his own medicine and let him have a taste of being exposed by the paparazzi.

However, the truth was that he did not.

Not Pei Huai, not the ruthless Madam Xu, and not even Su Ji…

Based on Yang Xiao Tao’s reaction today, Su Ji did not even tell her friends about it. She helped him keep the secret and protect his remaining dignity as the down-and-out young master of the Jiang family.

His ears were burning hot. He closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind…

He knocked on the door of Ms. Lan’s dressing room. When Ms. Lan saw Jiang Chu, she closed the folder in her hand without batting an eyelid.

“You’re here.” She nodded and gestured for Jiang Chu to sit across from her. Then, she asked her assistant to get him some hot water.

Her smile was very easy-going, as if she had turned back into the intellectual and amiable host on TV. She was different from the person she was before.

“Don’t be nervous.” Ms. Lan crossed her fingers on her legs and leaned back in her office chair. She relaxed her posture first and used this method to guide the listener into a relaxed state. “I think we’re already friends.”

Jiang Chu smiled and replied, “it’s my honor to be friends with you.”

Ms. Lan was very satisfied with his answer.

After the assistant left and went to the pantry next door, she took the iPad next to her unhurriedly and accidentally touched the unlock button. The screen that lit up stopped on a piece of news.

Jiang Chu looked over and saw a headline related to him.

[ “The champion of the Central Capital PK Competition, Jiang Mi, is a spendthrift. She invited students to the clubhouse and spent six figures a day!” ]

The news wasn’t very popular, so Jiang Chu didn’t notice it before.

It was referring to the day Jiang Chu invited the students to the clubhouse to watch Qingqiu Tactics.

It was unknown who had sold the news and posted it online.

After he finished watching, Ms. Lan calmly locked the screen again.

“As you can see,” Ms. Lan said worriedly to him, “the Pei family has already taken action.”

She didn’t ask Jiang Chu a single question, but she seemed to have said everything.

Jiang Chu lowered his head.

After a while, he lifted his head again. Her face was already calm. “Ms. Lan, don’t worry. I will definitely give you some explosive points for this episode.”

Ms. Lan tapped on the iPad with her fingertips and the corners of her lips curled up into a victorious smile.
