Chapter 428 - It Was As Though He Was Replying His Lover When Messaging His Sister

The event that the manager was referring to was when Jiang Li discussed Qiao Nian in public. In the end, Qiao Nian was almost attacked on the Internet.

Jiang Li also remembered that incident, and his expression worsened. Without further prompting, he said, "I"ll delete the comment right away."

Seeing him comply so readily, the manager happily said, "It"s best to delete it. You won"t bring trouble to your sister this way. You"re too popular and have many rivals in the entertainment industry. If they can"t find dirt on you, they will only target the people around you. The best way to protect your family and friends is to mention them less. As for Zhui Guang…"

When he brought up Zhui Guang, the manager"s face was filled with emotion. "Although she"s not from the entertainment circle, she"s no less famous than the people in the entertainment circle. It"s too bad she"s not part of the entertainment circle, or else she would have been even more famous.."

His words were lost on him. After deleting the comment, Jiang Li was deep in thought. He couldn"t stop thinking about this and sent a message to Qiao Nian.

[Jiang Li: Nian Nian, what are you doing now? Are you sleeping?]

After sending the message, he sat there anxiously, waiting for a reply. He allowed the hairstylist to continue styling his hair, but he never looked away from his cell phone.

He really felt that the girl in the video was very similar to Qiao Nian!

Her voice and brand of clothing made him very concerned. He felt so anxious it was as though a thousand ants were crawling all around him. If only he wasn"t occupied with work, he would have asked his manager to book plane tickets to Beijing for him.

His message seemed to not have reached her, as she did not reply for a long time.

Jiang Li was disappointed. He checked the time on his cell phone—it was almost ten o"clock. He lowered his eyelids, held his phone impatiently, and muttered to himself, "Have you fallen asleep already?"

Just as he finished muttering to himself, the notification light on his cell phone came on.

[QN: No. I"m preparing to sleep now.]

The faint tone of her voice, her lowered eyelashes, her body filled with spirit and vigor, could be felt from across the screen.

Jiang Li"s restless heart seemed to be gently comforted, and his anxiety abated. He had wanted to ask about the relations.h.i.+p between her and Zhui Guang, but he had forgotten all about it. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously as he looked at her message. It took him a while to reply. He fumbled around and typed out one line in a hurry.

[Jiang Li: I heard from Gu San that you didn"t score well. Are the results out yet? How are your results?]

After sending the message, he felt uncomfortable again. He looked up and asked his manager seriously. "Mister w.a.n.g, how do you comfort your daughter when she does poorly on her tests?"

"Huh?"

His manager was a man in his forties. His wife gave birth to his daughter at the age of thirty. His daughter had just turned ten years old. The manager usually liked to talk about his daughter.

"I just buy her some candy and take her out to play. Girls are easy to comfort."

Jiang Li excitedly followed up. "Where do you usually take her?"

His manager was stunned by the question. He noticed many people in the studio looking at them. Afraid about gossip about a star having a daughter from a hidden marriage floating around the entertainment circle tomorrow, he suddenly had a headache. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Amus.e.m.e.nt parks or cinemas. I choose places based on where she wants to go at that time. Your sister is in high school. She only has two or three months to go before the College Entrance Examination. Why? Did she not do well for her school"s monthly examination?"

The word "sister" was clear and would repel any gaze looking for gossip.

Jiang Li didn"t care if people around him gossiped about him. He entered the entertainment circle on a whim. But his appearance was too excellent. His casual decision to join also ended up with him being in the top cla.s.s of the entertainment circle.
