Chapter 24: Suspicion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of Jiang Lu’s “clarification,” the scandal of Yan Zhang’s affair was finally over, and the pressure on Swallowtail entertainment company was also reduced.

In addition, Jiang Lu had signed with Swallowtail, so most of the artistes who were ready to jump ship chose to wait and see. This also gave Swallowtail a chance to catch its breath and completely dissolved the internal crisis caused by the previous loss of staff.

The shares of the Yan Corporation were gradually rising. Father Yan’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his eyes revealed a satisfied look.

“Good!”

He patted Yan Zhang’s shoulder heavily and couldn’t help but laugh. “As expected of my son! He didn’t panic in the face of danger and was even able to turn the disadvantage into an advantage!”

Yan Zhang curled his lips, and his eyes were full of pride.

“However, it’s all thanks to Jiang Lu this time.”

Father Yan sighed and said, “They are both daughters of the Jiang family. Why is there such a big difference?”

Father Yan did not have a deep relationship with Jiang Zhi’s parents, unlike mother Yan, who shared an old friendship with them. Therefore, he was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Zhi, who had caused a disturbance in the Yan family.

Moreover, it was inevitable that men’s eyes would wander to other women as they socialized outside.

In the end, it was Jiang Zhi who was not sensible enough to understand Zhang’er’s hardships.

Father Yan’s gaze flickered as he glanced at Yan Zhang. “This Jiang Lu… ?”

Yan Zhang understood his father’s meaning and couldn’t help but reveal a trace of delight. “She likes me too.”

Father Yan clapped his hands and laughed loudly before nodding repeatedly. “Very good. Jiang Lu is now an A-list female star. If we can keep her in Swallowtail for the long term, the company’s future will surely be very promising!”

He shook his head with a regretful expression.

“Unfortunately, Jiang Lu is only the youngest daughter of the Jiang family. Moreover, you’re already married to Jiang Zhi.”

At the mention of Jiang Zhi’s name, Yan Zhang’s face was filled with disgust.

“When this storm passes, I’ll definitely make Jiang Zhi pay the price!”

Yan Zhang gnashed his teeth in hatred. “When that time comes, I’ll make sure that she doesn’t get a single cent and completely scram out of the Yan family!”

Seeing that Father Yan was a little doubtful, Yan Zhang said frankly, “The Jiang family has cut off Jiang Zhi’s source of income.”

“It’s still unknown who will inherit the Jiang family’s wealth in the future.”

Hearing Yan Zhang’s words, Father Yan immediately felt more confident.

“Alright, then you should get in touch with Jiang Lu more and test the Jiang family’s waters.”

Father Yan said mercilessly, “If Jiang Zhi is useless, get a divorce as soon as possible so that there won’t be any more problems!”

…

After Jiang Lu left for Swallowtail, many of her endorsements and magazines followed in.

In order to solidify the future cooperation, Yan Zhang specially organized a meeting and invited all the advertisers to attend. After negotiating the figure, they signed the agreement together.

At the banquet, a middle-aged man suddenly rubbed his hands and approached Yan Zhang with a flattering smile on his face.

“President Yan, I’m sorry. I was blind last time. Sorry for offending you.”

He couldn’t help but nod and bow to apologize to Yan Zhang. Yan Zhang was confused. “Boss Wu, what do you mean?”

The wound on boss Wu’s face hadn’t recovered yet, and he was afraid that Yan Zhang would blame him.

“President Yan, last time I was muddle-headed and offended your wife. She didn’t say anything bad about me to you, did she? You see, she has already beaten me up. Let’s forget about this matter, right?”

He smiled ingratiatingly and wanted to take the opportunity to flatter her.

“However, your wife’s skills are really not bad. She must have trained a lot, right?”

Yan Zhang stopped holding the wine glass in his hand and shot a look at boss Wu. “Did she beat you up?”

Boss Wu looked at his sudden change in expression and nodded nervously for a while.

Yan Zhang’s eyes instantly became vicious. It turned out that Jiang Zhi really had two moves left. The person who beat him up that night was most likely this b*tch!

He raised his head and gulped down the wine, his eyes filled with hatred.

He must teach Jiang Zhi a lesson!

..

Jiang Zhi did not know that Yan Zhang was suspecting her. She was busy arranging a lesson for Yu Wan.

Yu Wan was indeed a talented actress. After only half a month of training, her singing and dancing were basically not a problem. Her speaking skills had also improved a lot.

Moreover, she was also exceptionally hard-working. Even Jiang Zhi could not help but admire her perseverance.

Seeing that the audition date for “Beacon” was getting closer and closer, Jiang Zhi looked at Yu Wan, who was getting better day by day. She knew that the opportunity had come!

She was going to take Yu Wan to the audition.

On the weekend. At the audition venue for “Beacon”.

Yu Wan looked nervous.

This was her first time participating in an audition. Moreover, it was a big production like “Beacon”. Yu Wan was very afraid that her acting would fail.

“Don’t be nervous.”

Jiang Zhi comforted her, “We’ve prepared for it thoroughly, and you’re in good condition. Just try your best!”

Yu Wan forced a smile at her, “Sister Jiang, I want to go to the washroom…”

Jiang Zhi knew that Yu Wan could only overcome it by herself. She sighed to herself and gestured for Yu Wan to come back quickly.

Meanwhile, she would temporarily take Yu Wan’s Place and help her line up for her.

Jiang Zhi had just taken her number when she suddenly heard a mocking voice from behind her.

“Hey, isn’t this the noble Mrs. Yan?”

“What? Now she’s so poor that she wants to steal our food?”
