Chapter 115 Really? I Don't Believe It

Night had fallen at the home of a certain bureau chief.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Who’s calling you so late at night?” his wife asked, groggy with sleep.

The man was equally puzzled. “Why is this person suddenly concerned about the entertainment industry… The Lu family has never meddled in this area.”

He couldn’t fathom why he’d received such a call.

His tone was odd as he explained, “A gentleman of considerable standing just reported to me that the atmosphere in the entertainment industry has deteriorated, specifically naming several companies. He asked me to carry out a thorough crackdown.”

His wife couldn’t help but laugh. “Is that really a thing?”

He nodded. “Actually, I have been receiving quite a few reports lately. It seems it’s time to convene a meeting and discuss this.”

——————

“Hello, is this Jiang Sui? I’m Yu Lu.”

Jiang Sui received the call while she was in the midst of selecting schools for Xuanxuan.

“Is there something I can help you with, Miss Yu?” Jiang Sui raised an eyebrow.

Yu Lu’s tone was a little nervous. “I’m calling to apologize. I’m truly sorry for what happened during the last show. I wasn’t a good host.”

Jiang Sui replied, “Mm. And?”

Yu Lu continued, “I really had no choice—the script was handed down from my superiors, all for the sake of chasing popularity… Recently, I’ve been berated by netizens, and I’ve come to deeply realize my mistake. If I didn’t make a point of apologizing to you and Xuanxuan, I’d feel terrible…”

Jiang Sui lifted her eyelids. “If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?”

Yu Lu was stumped, momentarily speechless.

“I’m sorry…” she said sincerely. “By the way, your agent’s requests to the director—all arrangements have been made. Things are under strict scrutiny lately, and the program has been targeted for inspection and reform, so the production team won’t dare cross the line.”

A faint smile played at Jiang Sui’s lips.

“You truly aren’t a good host.”

Yu Lu did not deny it.

“Shall I teach you a phrase that’ll stop you from getting scolded?” Jiang Sui said with a bright smile.

Yu Lu was eager to learn. “Really?”

Jiang Sui told her, “Yes. No matter what others say, just respond: ‘Really? I don’t believe it.’”

Yu Lu tried, “Really?”

Jiang Sui replied, “Mm-hmm~”

Yu Lu said, “I don’t believe it.”

Jiang Sui was taken aback.

Was she really so quick on the uptake?

With a dark expression, Jiang Sui hung up the phone.

That phrase was truly irritating.

She neither accepted nor took Yu Lu’s apology to heart. After all, she was just a wage earner, following orders from above—it was only natural. But that didn’t mean the harm done to Xuanxuan was forgivable.

Each matter must be judged on its own. She wished Yu Lu luck.

After hanging up, she continued searching for elementary schools for Xuanxuan.

Previously, Lu Ye had already chosen a school for Xuanxuan: an international elite elementary school, with the highest tuition in the country.

Jiang Sui canceled that enrollment.

Although she intended to raise Xuanxuan in comfort, she didn’t want her exposed only to children of wealthy families.

She had no desire to raise an ignorant young lady, oblivious to the hardships of ordinary people.

Just then, Li Lan sent a message.

“Sister, isn’t Xuanxuan about to start elementary school?”

Jiang Sui glanced at it. “Yes, Lan, I’m looking for a school for her right now.”

Li Lan suggested, “Why not let Xuanxuan attend the same school as Xiao Nan? They know each other and could look after one another.”

Soon after, Li Lan sent over the address and school information.

Jiang Sui looked at it, and her eyes lit up.

This school fit perfectly with the criteria she had in mind for Xuanxuan.

She quickly made a decision.

“Alright, it’s settled,” she replied.

Li Lan sent back an emoji.

Jiang Sui smiled at Xiao Nan, who was reading beside her. “Alright, soon your sister Xuanxuan will be your junior at school. Satisfied?”

Xiao Nan smiled shyly, his lips curled with contentment as he continued reading intently.
