Chapter 499: Let Him Fly
“But Sister Yuning, you are really cool!”
“Super cool!”
“Great!”
Even the dance teacher gave Jiang Yuning a thumbs up.
At this time, Jiang Yuning smiled as she wiped the sweat off her face without saying anything.
In fact, she had been really afraid that she would affect the performance of the boy group. This was because she knew that Jin Mingchen’s boy group was very powerful, and the person that she was most afraid of dragging down was none other than Lu Jingqi. This performance was very important to him, not just because it was his own battle, but also because it concerned the reputation of the Lu family.
So, after she was done filming her scenes when she was at the crew, she would wait for An Youqing and the both of them would practice the dance steps together in the room.
Since she had not danced in such a long time, she really worked hard.
“Since Yuning is already so familiar with the dance steps, we can now practice and rehearse together as a team. I would like to sincerely thank you for your seriousness and dedication, Yuning. You really saved us a lot of time,” The dance teacher said to Jiang Yuning in a sincere manner.
“No, no, this is what I should be doing.”
Jiang Yuning was very easy to get along with. This was the consensus reached by people from the agency after a day of contact with her.
She was very fun, very dedicated, and she was also very kind to others. Moreover, during the interview earlier today, she was also controlling the editor and the audience so that several younger boys would not be pitted against one another. This was the reason why she could become so popular in such a short time.
This was also Wang Jing’s first time working as an agent to Jiang Yuning.
In fact, Wang Jing felt that Jiang Yuning’s agency was really lucky to have encountered an artiste such as herself.
As Wang Jing thought about it, her heart calmed down a little. At least, Empress Jiang sent Lu Jingqi to her.
After finishing the dance practice, it was already eleven o’clock at night.
Wang Jing looked at the time and she knew that everyone was already exhausted today. Therefore, she stepped forward before she spoke to Jiang Yuning. “I have arranged a hotel room for you so you don’t need to rush back to the Royal Dragon Villa tonight. We will have activities going on tomorrow morning.”
Jiang Yuning wiped the sweat off from her face before she stared at Lu Jingqi who was sitting on the ground. After a short while, she replied, “I would like to take Jingqi back to the Lu family mansion. He has not gone home in such a long time.”
Wang Jing thought for a short while before she nodded. “Alright then, do you need me to make any arrangements for you?”
“No, Vera is more experienced in such things. I will ask her to make the necessary preparations,” Jiang Yuning said.
At this time, Vera who was driving on the road, suddenly sneezed. How could she have known that Jiang Yuning was talking about her at this time?
…
At this time, Lu Jingqi was sitting with a few dancers not too far away. At this time, there was a fat young girl sitting next to Lu Jingqi.
She would stare at Lu Jingqi’s mask every now and then, out of curiosity and from time to time, she would try to start a conversation with Lu Jingqi but he was very cold and would always be ignoring her.
“I always felt that you are very familiar but I don’t know where I have met you before. However, I feel that you are quite rude because you always do not respond when other people are talking to you.”
“Hey, are you dumb? We will be going out for supper together later. Are you coming along?”
“I want to go home and rest.” After that, Lu Jingqi got up from his chair immediately.
“What’s so great about him anyway? He must be really ugly. That is why he is always wearing a mask. However, he will be going on stage the day after tomorrow. Let’s see whether he will still be wearing that mask when he goes on stage that night?”
“Didn’t you notice anything during the afternoon rehearsal? All the finale acts are given to him even though he is not from our team. Anyway, where did he come from?” one of the other male dancers asked the girl immediately.
“The agency is the one who made all this arrangements, but I have to admit that he really dance very well.”
“What’s so great about him? Anyone can tell that he is a novice at first glance.”
“I always feel that I have seen him before…I…I seem to remember now.” The girl was suddenly shocked as she seemed to recall something, and she took out her cell phone to look up something immediately. This was because she had a video of Lu Jingqi in her cell phone.
The few videos that had exploded recently showed what Lu Jingqi looked like in the past two years.
Of course, the girl continued thinking for a short while because she was not certain about it.
“No, it can’t be. That mentally retarded kid?”
…
At twelve-thirty in the middle of the night, Jiang Yuning brought Lu Jingqi back to the Lu family mansion without knowing what was happening.
Since most of the Lu family members had not seen Lu Jingqi in such a long time, they felt that there were a lot of changes about him. Was this cool and sane person really still the reserved and quiet young master from before?
Third Uncle Lu did not dare to appear in front of Lu Jingqi ever since the last time he almost got him into trouble. Therefore, as soon as he saw Lu Jingqi, he jumped up from the sofa immediately.
“Jingqi…”
“Dad.”
As soon as Third Uncle Lu heard him saying ‘dad’, his eyes were red immediately and he quickly stepped forward to hug his son. “Okay, good. This is really good. He is really good now. Butler, look! Jingqi is fine…”
“Yes, I saw it! The young master is really fine now.” At this time, the butler who was standing at the side, could not help but wiped the tears off his face. “If the old master Lu knows about this news, just imagine how happy he would be?”
“Quickly, come here and sit down.” Third Uncle Lu quickly grabbed hold of his arm as he brought him to the sofa.
At this time, Lu Jingqi suddenly saw a lot of pictures of him on the table, as well as pictures of some balloons and banners. Therefore, he turned around and looked at his father curiously.
“I hired a private investigator to secretly take this pictures of you for Third Uncle. He misses you so much and he really wants to see you but he can’t see you. Therefore, he can only miss you in this way. Since he knows that you will be on stage the day after tomorrow, I decided that Third Uncle Lu should be the first person to see what a good dancer you are! I’m also learning how to be a cheerleader for you!” Chen Jingshu quickly explained the situation when she saw the puzzled expression on Lu Jingqi’s face.
“But Third Uncle…you will not be able to use Jingqi’s pictures on that day,” Jiang Yuning reminded him with some regrets. “But you can keep these pictures because you will definitely need it next time.”
“Yes, it will be useful.”
The Lu family was a really traditional family.
In the past, Third Uncle Lu did not have any interest in the entertainment industry or any celebrities at all. However, he was even ready to become a cheerleader now because of his precious son. It was obvious that love…was a really great thing.
Jiang Yuning watched the father and son reunite and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
“Since I have already completed my task, I will be going back to the Royal Dragon Villa now. Jingqi, make sure that you rest early tonight. I will come and pick him up to bring him back to the agency tomorrow morning,” Jiang Yuning said as she waved at them.
“Yuning, it’s already so late and you still have to go back? Jingzhi really doesn’t know how to be considerate of you…”
“Please don’t blame him. I did not want him to make a trip here because I know that he has also been very tired recently,” Jiang Yuning replied Third Uncle Lu as she quickly defended Lu Jingzhi.
“Yuning, thank you so much. You are the benefactor of our family.”
“If you want to thank me, then there is something that you can promise me. I only hope that Third Uncle can always support Jingqi’s dreams and ambitions. I hope that you will not try to tie him down and hold him back, and I hope that you will not use the Lu family’s responsibilities as an excuse to suppress him. However, I also hope that Jingqi will be able to share the burden and responsibility of the Lu family with Second Brother in future. He is still young, so now is the time for him to fight for his dream. Let him fly. He can deal with his responsibilities as a member of the Lu family in future, okay?” After that, Jiang Yuning patted Lu Jingqi’s head before she said, “Stay with your father tonight and be a good boy, okay?”
Lu Jingqi’s eyes were bright as he nodded at Jiang Yuning.
At this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly felt someone placing their arm around her shoulder.
Jiang Yuning turned around and as soon as she saw the man’s tired face, she replied, “Didn’t I tell you that I will be going home?”
“I don’t want you to be so tired,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he ignored everyone else before hugging Jiang Yuning in his arms as he led her up to the second floor…
