Chapter 56: I Can’t Bring Myself to Say It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Alright, I will remember not to show too much love and affection in front of my brother because my brother is still single and alone!”

“You can both chat first. I will go upstairs to change out of my suit,” Lu Jingzhi said as he smiled and released Jiang Yuning from his embrace. He then strode upstairs to the bedroom located on the second floor.

“Brother…Guangying Media called me to inform me that I am eligible to participate in the second audition tomorrow.” As soon as Lu Jingzhi left them, Jiang Yuning quickly reached out her hands and held tightly onto Ku Jie’s arm.

“I have already heard about it on the way to the villa,” Ku Jie replied as he patted her gently on her head.

“However, the earliest version of the news that I received was not this,” Ku Jie said as he sat down on the sofa. “The first piece of news that I had received was that Guangying Media had decided not to cast you, but to simply brush you aside.”

“Really?” Jiang Yuning replied. “Then, was it because of uncle?”

“Huh?” Ku Jie did not understand what Jiang Yuning meant.

“Well…the chairman of Guangying Media is none other than second brother’s uncle,” Jiang Yuning explained. “From the looks of it, he must have intervened to give me the chance to attend the second interview. Although I am really touched, I am still disappointed because I thought that I could have done it based on my own ability.”

“You did do it on your own ability,” Lu Jingzhi who was now dressed in casual wear said as he strode down the stairs. “Uncle called me earlier to let me know that you have passed the first audition and that you are eligible for the second.”

“Brother told me that I was not considered for the role and that I was brushed aside initially…”

“That was due to other reasons and not because of your performance during the audition,” Lu Jingzhi said as he sat down on the sofa. At this time, both Ku Jie and Lu Jingzhi were staring at Jiang Yuning. “Uncle had also asked his person in charge to investigate why the news of you participating in the audition was deliberately leaked out.”

“All I know is that if uncle did not have my back, I would not have had any chance at all,” Jiang Yuning said as she sighed. Ever since her debut, whenever she was about to do something, regardless of whether it was good or bad, news about her would be magnified and shared all over the internet. It seemed as though there was a large number of people who hated her and was eagerly waiting for her to fail.

“Actually, the reason I am here today is to discuss this matter. Since you have already escaped from having to marry into the Lu family, there is no longer any need to release any more negative materials to avoid the marriage contract with the Lu family,” Ku Jie said. However, as soon as he said this, Lu Jingzhi stared at Jiang Yuning immediately.

What did he mean by the marriage contract with the Lu family?

The fact was that Lu Zongye was in fact not a Lu family member and since Jiang Yuning was in a relationship with him, she would eventually become a member of the Lu family.

“I mean, if you intend to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time, you should not be depending on anyone else then, because you would never know when you might lose that backing. You should depend on your own ability. Show everyone your true nature and sharpen up your skills to show people the talent that you actually possess. All these things have to be done in order to fundamentally change the public’s perception of you,” Ku Jie patiently explained. “There is nothing wrong with your attitude and since that person has your back now, you should be able to do well from now on.”
