Part 2
Even making music was never forced, drawing unconcealed jealousy from Liu Xichao and Yao Lixin.
How can you be like this? I’m tearing my hair out writing a song, and you just sit down and write one casually?
Tang Yue was instinctively Tang Yue. Loving Jiang Shulu was an instinct; the only restraint was the three years of suppressed gazes.
He was the quietest spectator in a room full of excitement, unconsciously slowing down people’s rhythm.
Liang Yi suddenly understood why she had been bewitched into acknowledging this brother.
Tang Huaide had so many sons, but Tang Yue, this illegitimate son, was unique.
No ambition, yet he could make ambitious people feel a rare sense of relaxation.
“My hard work can be relieved by your brother-in-law. Your Jiang Shulu’s hard work…”
Liang Yi smiled. “So don’t come back to my place after the banquet tonight. Xiao Mie isn’t here either, perfect for some alone time.”
Tang Yue hummed, whispering to Liang Yi, “Then can I get a better styling?”
“You’re much better looking than the marriage candidates Mrs. Jiang picked for Jiang Shulu,” Liang Yi said.
Her eyes rippled with a smile. “As long as you don’t get stage fright.”
“I’m still a little scared,” Tang Yue admitted.
“If you don’t toughen up, Jiang Shulu will be snatched away again.”
“He won’t. He likes me.”
“Why are you so sure now?”
“I just know.”
In yesterday’s video call, Tang Yue saw a wall full of copper flowers on the shelf at the edge of Jiang Shulu’s camera frame.
Although it was just a glimpse, it was enough to make Tang Yue’s heart skip a beat, wishing he could crawl through the screen and be by the other person’s side instantly.
To shout his love.
The variety show Journey with Little Ones Through Mountains and Rivers stopped updating for five days. Fans expected it to be torture, but to their surprise, the official account released highlights from the first two stops, a special on Yao Lixin’s childcare, and occasional bloopers.
Some specials plus bloopers were as long as movies. The editing style was cute, satisfying the needs of baby lovers.
The only thing was that fans didn’t see Tang Yue in the entire video.
—I admit Yao Lixin is good with kids, but where’s Tang Yue?
—Didn’t they say Tang Yue was with Yao Lixin?
—Is Liu Xichao participating in the next stop? He just posted a makeup look, he’s probably getting ready for his father-in-law’s dinner party.
—Jiang Shulu and Liu Xichao are family, so why isn’t our Tang Yue! These two men are killing me. Although there’s no official announcement, it’s better than an official announcement, BUT!! I still want to see a proper announcement of them being together.
—Tang Yue isn’t going too, is he?
—You guys are dreaming. My friend in the circle said there’s no Tang Yue. If Jiang Shulu doesn’t bring anyone, how can Tang Yue come?
—The Jiang family hired a team, and their corporate Weibo has a livestream. Everyone can go watch.
At 4:30 PM, Tang Yue got into Liang Yi’s car.
Jiang Mingxun’s birthday was held at a Jiang family estate. Ordinary people would make a big deal out of such a birthday banquet, let alone an old-money family like the Jiangs.
By 3 PM, influencer girlfriends of rich second-generation heirs in the circle were already posting photos.
The long steps at the estate entrance were paved with a red carpet lined with flowers, and attendants stood on both sides. From the background, the venue was decorated with extreme luxury.
Someone also recorded a video. Luxury cars drove by one by one. Although there were no celebrities, it had the grandeur of a red carpet fashion show.
Countless netizens flooded into the Jiang family’s official livestream, wanting to see the grandeur of true wealth.
Many came from the variety show. A glance at the comments revealed whose fans they were.
[Where is Liu Xichao?! Is he attending as a family member this time?]
[Has it started already?]
[Oh my god, is there an entrance ceremony too? Feels more exaggerated than a film festival.]
[Isn’t that the TV drama actress? Why is she here?]
[Seems like there are quite a few celebrities. Many of the rich heirs’ dates are from the industry.]
[I’ve already seen people posting red carpet photos. Help! This is a birthday party, not an arena!!]
[The Jiang family is really rich. Suddenly understand why everyone calls Jiang Shulu the true crown prince.]
[Jiang Shulu and Liu Xichao actually arrived one after another. Why didn’t Jiang Shulu bring Tang Yue! Don’t let it be a bad ending (BE).]
There were many reporters at a banquet of this scale. It wasn’t even a pure birthday party, but a social event for the Jiang family.
Many business partners were also invited. The livestream camera cut from the outside to the inside, and just the atmosphere was dizzying for the audience.
[I feel like this livestream team is from Clear Sky Media. The camera movement style is too familiar.]
[I think so too. The close-ups are also very stylish. I still feel like I’m watching a variety show livestream.]
Jiang Shulu was even taller than Jiang He. Seeing Jiang He and Liu Xichao arrive together, he greeted them.
Liu Xichao and Jiang He’s suits were obviously a couple’s set. Even their brooches looked like they could fit together. This was exceptionally high-profile for Jiang He.
“Are you going to stand here the whole time?” Liu Xichao asked.
Jiang Shulu nodded. “It’s necessary to welcome Little Uncle and Little Aunt.”
He did stand there for a while, but the audience never got tired of this scene. It was truly more eye-catching than a fashion show.
Jiang Shulu had a great figure, stunning enough during his boy band days.
Now, his temperament rose and fell with his experiences. Compared to Jiang He’s gloominess, he carried a sense of detached nobility, neither close nor distant, always captivating under the spotlight.
[Can’t hear the sound, but looking at the mouth shapes, I already want to laugh.]
[The relationships in this boy band are too dramatic hahaha. If Tang Yue were here, wouldn’t he become sisters-in-law with Liu Xichao?]
[Help!! Why do they all have to eat at the same table in the end?]
[They must be at the level where they absolutely can’t break up, otherwise it would be too awkward.]
In the video, cars slowly stopped one by one, driving away only after the passengers alighted, following the signs.
The long red carpet steps saw quite a few beauties, eliciting cheers from the livestream comments.
While Jiang Shulu was talking to Liu Xichao, many socialites walked by intimately, all greeting Jiang Shulu.
Liu Xichao raised an eyebrow. “Quite the ladies’ man?”
“Would you be happy if this luck was given to Little Uncle?” Jiang Shulu retorted.
Liu Xichao took Jiang He’s arm. “You can keep it for yourself.”
Just as he finished speaking, another luxury car stopped in the frame.
The door opened, and a tall, imposing woman stepped out.
From the hem of her dress to her velvet gloves to her face, the camera captured the woman who left the deepest impression on passersby viewers tonight.
Like a ball of wildfire.
[Such a hot sister…]
[Wait, this guy??? Isn’t that the manga artist I follow?]
[Is Jiang Xiujun’s ‘married’ the kind of married I’m thinking of?]
[Rumors really said Jiang Xiujun married into a wealthy family. The editorial department was telling the truth?]
[Wait, why isn’t Jiang Xiujun the hidden rich one?]
[Jiang Xiujun said it himself, he was so poor he almost changed careers… Holy crap, this guy who just got out of the car?]
For a moment, only comments from casual netizens remained. Comments clearly from fans seemed to have disappeared.
A few seconds later, as the camera captured the face, a uniform “Holy sh*t” erupted.
Tang Yue had walked red carpets before, but never alone.
This time, although he wasn’t alone, Liang Yi and Jiang Xiujun were a couple, making him look like a loner. He regretted it a little.
I should have brought Xiao Mie, he thought.
Tang Yue had many thoughts in his mind, but his face remained cold. Lifting his eyes amidst the flashing lights, he looked like a jade figure walking out of ice and snow.
With styled hair and an expensive custom suit, he felt completely different from the variety show.
Like a treasure from a glass display case suddenly walking out, even the long earrings dangling to his shoulders were so eye-catching.
The reporters present had paid extra attention to Away because of Jiang Shulu, so they naturally recognized Tang Yue.
But it was hard to connect the timid teenage idol from previous data with the composed, icy young man now.
As the livestream camera swept across, many reporters’ shocked expressions could be seen.
[F*ck, does Tang Yue have a brother?]
