CHAPTER 803: CHAPTER 793: THANKS, THIS GUY IS ACTING STRANGE

"Brother Chen, should we thank Teacher Jiang and Teacher Wei? If they hadn’t arrived at the crucial moment, you might really have ended up drunkenly wandering the lake at night."

Of course, the more disgusting part the assistant didn’t mention.

If Brother Chen had fallen into the water and was theatrically rescued by that woman Su Linlin, not even considering how the matter would be handled afterward, just being saved by someone he dislikes from the water would be enough to make Brother Chen lose his appetite for several days.

Just hearing such a prediction could make one nauseous.

To prevent their artist from vomiting the Hangover Soup he just drank, it was better not to mention it at all.

The assistant was genuinely grateful to Jiang Lingxi and Wei Minmin.

Especially Jiang Lingxi’s final kick, although it wasn’t captured on video, there was still the sound.

Satisfying, truly satisfying!

Su Jincheng’s heart was moved, but seeing the time, he shook his head, "Let’s wait until tomorrow. They should have already gone to rest at this hour."

"Right, right," the assistant replied without much principle, "I wasn’t thinking it through. By the way, Brother Wang also got the news, but there are no more flights now. He said he’d come over early tomorrow."

"No need," Su Jincheng waved his hand, "I’m fine, tell him not to come. Besides, by the time he arrives, Su Linlin and Su Ya should both be gone."

"Su Ya? Su Ya is leaving too?"

The assistant now had no favorable feelings towards Su Ya either. If it weren’t for this woman, not even burning incense and praying could have gotten Su Linlin on this show. Without coming to the show, Brother Chen wouldn’t have suffered this unwarranted disaster tonight.

But if he remembered correctly, Su Ya was a regular guest on the show, just like Brother Chen.

"Do you think we can record the upcoming episodes like before?"

The assistant imagined it and had to agree, it truly would be awkward.

Su Jincheng’s voice was certain, "Su Ya will leave on her own."

She was much better at handling things than that Su Linlin.

"Then I’ll let Brother Wang know, tell him not to come."

"Mm, and send him this video, he’ll know what to do."

The assistant wanted to do this for a long time but didn’t dare to act without instructions. After all, while Brother Chen was lenient with them, he could also be very strict.

"I’ll send it to Brother Wang now."

With Brother Wang’s methods, Su Linlin would soon find herself out of favor in the industry!

Su Jincheng glanced at the assistant who was busy with his phone, then swiped open the video on his tablet, rewound it a bit, and played it again.

Soon, an anxious voice came out of the tablet speaker, "Su Jincheng!"

Mm, energetic!

*

Jiang Lingxi briefly told Shen Yunqing the follow-up of the situation via message, then put her phone down and began to prepare for sleep.

Unlike the aunt and niece who had stayed up all night, ended up with dark circles, and were utterly exhausted, she and Wei Minmin slept soundly through the night.

In the morning, they were refreshed, and Wei Minmin even looked a bit flushed.

"What sweet dream did you have?"

Jiang Lingxi swore she was just asking casually because Wei Minmin looked so good.

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly blushed deeply, and then pulled the blanket over her head.

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

This made it impossible not to think about it!

Thinking it over, she decided not to tease further. She got out of bed, "I’ll go freshen up first."

After freshening up, she needed to pack her bags.

But she hadn’t brought much luggage, so she finished packing in no time.

Looking back at the bed, she saw a big cocoon-like lump, and, stifling laughter, she called out, "You’re good to go now, I hear everyone else is up, and if you keep dawdling, you’ll miss breakfast."

"Okay, okay, I know."

"I’m heading out first."

Jiang Lingxi opened the door and stepped out, just as the door next to her also opened.

She side-glanced and saw Su Linlin almost instinctively retreat back into her room.

But Su Ya was behind her, and with a push from Su Ya, Su Linlin had to force herself to come out.

Jiang Lingxi’s gaze swept over Su Linlin’s heavily made-up face that couldn’t even hide her dark circles, and then she calmly looked away, heading toward the busy kitchen area.

Su Linlin dumbly watched her back, only feeling the leg that was kicked last night start to ache again.

The pain in the water was real. When her leg couldn’t exert itself, she truly thought it had been broken.

Now, far from provoking Jiang Lingxi, she wished to avoid her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Su Jincheng just coming out of his room, and she instinctively pulled back her steps, "Aunt, has our car arrived? I don’t want to eat. Can we leave directly?"

Su Ya glanced at the bustling kitchen scene, then at Su Linlin’s matching dark circles, and disdainfully looked away, "The car is outside. You can go put your luggage in first, and I’ll say goodbye to everyone."

She didn’t expect Su Linlin to apologize to Su Jincheng. With that cowardly demeanor, it was better to avoid making a fool of herself.

Su Linlin quickly nodded, dragging her luggage and fleeing towards the door.

This action naturally caught the eyes of the people cooking.

None of them said anything, just looked at her and then looked away.

They even guessed that the aunt and niece might not stay for breakfast, so there was no food prepared for them.

Su Ya forced herself to walk over, maintaining her decorum as she bid farewell to everyone, and said an additional apology when she reached Su Jincheng.

Since it was on behalf of Su Linlin, Su Jincheng didn’t say "It’s okay," but nodded slightly to acknowledge the apology.

Forgiveness was out of the question.

Su Ya, although expecting not to be forgiven, couldn’t help but feel a bit downhearted. She forced a smile before turning to walk toward the courtyard gate.

In the past, guests leaving would always be seen off at the gate by the hosts.

But now, with Pei Shuxing focused on mixing a bowl of cold salad dressing, no one moved since he didn’t move.

As for the lonely silhouette leaving without anyone seeing them off, well, they deserved it.

Once outside the gate, Su Ya looked back at the plaque inscribed with "Qie Ting Courtyard."

Standing quietly for a few seconds, she then walked to the car and got in.

Outside, the car quietly drove away, while inside the courtyard, seeing that Jiang Lingxi wasn’t busy, Su Jincheng walked over.

First, he bowed, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang, for saving me yesterday."

Jiang Lingxi dusted off the flour on her hands, looking up at him, "You’re welcome. Actually, during the meal, I tasted that there was alcohol in the old duck soup, but you had already had a bowl by then, so I didn’t say anything. I wanted to see what exactly Su Linlin was up to, but didn’t expect her to use such a dangerous method. Luckily, nothing happened."

This remark made the others busy with their tasks also look over.

"Lingxi, your sense of smell is so sharp!"

"Actually, it’s the taste that’s sharp. I didn’t taste anything at the time."

"I understand. Little Jiang intended for us to see Su Linlin’s true colors, didn’t she? Were you keeping an eye on Xiao Su after that?"

Jiang Lingxi nodded to Pei Shuxing.

"No wonder you reacted so quickly. I heard from that girl Minmin that there was quite a distance between you two at the time."

Xiao Yu followed up with a self-deprecating laugh, "Even during the closed training before filming ’Gale,’ I couldn’t outrun Lingxi. Her burst strength is truly impressive; she had confidence she could make it in time to rescue Teacher Su."

Upon hearing this, how could Su Jincheng not realize that everyone was suggesting he should not mind Jiang Lingxi not informing him right away?

In fact, he truly didn’t care, and Jiang Lingxi’s thorough explanation wasn’t necessary. Simply accepting his thanks would have sufficed, but she still chose to explain.

Now he only felt the person before him was frank and sincere.

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher Jiang. By the way, Teacher Jiang, have you seen Minmin?"

Jiang Lingxi observed his slightly more reserved expression when asking about Wei Minmin, and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Young man, something seems a bit off with you!
