“Lu Yang, I have plenty of resources in the entertainment industry if you want to enter this industry. There’s nothing good about this variety show. Besides, you’ve been weak since you were young, and you can’t compare to my thick skin. If you were to fall and get injured on this show, mom would skin me alive!”

Lu Yang raised her hand and touched Lu Mingyu’s arm with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Lu Mingyu instantly understood what she was implying.

Lu Yang’s eyes were implying that he was not very competent.

Lu Mingyu swallowed his saliva.

After a few minutes of stalemate, Lu Mingyu gave in to her request.

Lu Chen and Ning Qingyun felt sorry for Lu Yang. Hence, they would agree to any request Lu Yang made. Lu Mingyu knew it would be useless no matter how much he tried to persuade her.

So, he agreed.

In fact, all Lu Yang cared about was getting her brother home safely.

The wilderness was a variety show that was broadcasted live. It was designed to capture participants’ lives in the wild, unedited, in real time.

As a low-budget variety show, the first season of the wilderness was so popular that it turned an unpopular artiste into a famous celebrity. When the news that the second season was in preparation was released, many people had their eyes on this luscious show.

When Chen Su received the program’s invitation, he convinced Lu Mingyu to agree to participate without much thought.

However, when he found out that Lu Mingyu said that his sister was going to participate as well, Chen Su refused.

To Chen Su, Lu Yang was a problem.

Her facial features were indeed exquisite and beautiful, but her character was even more challenging to deal with than Lu Mingyu’s.

To chase after Jiang Yanzhou, ‘Lu Yang’ had privately looked for Chen Su to tell him about this matter, but Chen Su had never told Lu Mingyu about it.

After all, ‘Lu Yang’ had almost pounced on Jiang Yanzhou at that time, causing Chen Su a lot of trouble.

Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows and said confidently, “Don’t worry. There’s me! I’ll definitely protect my sister!”

“You’re the one I’m most worried about!” Chen Su supported his forehead with his hand. “I accepted this variety show for you to improve your reputation, not for you to mess around.”

The siblings were strikingly good-looking, but one was straightforward and did not know how to mince his words, while the other only knew how to chase after a celebrity.

Chen Su suspected that they would ruin his career.

Lu Mingyu put his hand on Chen Su’s shoulder. “Brother Su, my sister’s heart isn’t very good. If I turn her down, she might have a heart attack at any moment.”

Chen Su was shocked to hear this. “She has a weak heart, and you still dare to let her participate in the wilderness?!”

He continued, “Could it be that you have unequal distribution of wealth in your family? You want to use this-”

Lu Mingyu’s grip on Chen Su’s shoulder tightened, and he warned, “Don’t you curse my sister. Why don’t you just say if my sister can join the show or not? Else, Mrs. Lu will have to take action personally.”

Chen Su gasped, and his expression became slightly baffled at the mention of Ning Qingyun. After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and said rather helplessly, “Fine, then.”

The entire company belonged to the Lu family. If Ning Qingyun called, it meant that Chen Su’s career had come to an end.

“Hm… firing someone is very easy. However, don’t ever think about firing me!” Chen Su thought.

At most, he could keep an eye on them and immediately take action if anything happened.

At the same time, the sound of the camera shutter filled the entire studio at a fashion magazine shoot.

A man in a dark suit stood under the light. His figure was tall and slender, and his proportions were perfect. He looked noble and cold, and his jawline was superior. He gave a naturally intimidating aura from his eyebrows.

His movements were lazy and noble.

The photographer was very satisfied with this kind of artiste who could finish their work quickly. He looked away from the camera and said, “Teacher Jiang, you’ve worked hard. The photos are perfect. You can call it a day.”

Jiang Yanzhou nodded politely. “Okay.”

His manager, Zhao Yanshu, who had been waiting at the side, stepped forward and bowed to thank the photographer. He handed him his phone and said, “Lu Mingyu just called. It might be an emergency.”

Jiang Yanzhou took the phone and tapped on the screen with his long fingers. He lowered his eyes and said, “It’s not.”

“It’s not?” Zhao Yanshu was taken aback. “He called ten times in a row. Isn’t it an emergency?”

Jiang Yanzhou did not seem to want to speak and slowly lifted his eyelids.

Zhao Yanshu’s eyes darted around as a thought flashed through his mind. He said in disbelief, “Don’t tell me it’s still about his sister?”

Jiang Yanzhou’s cold voice answered, “Yes.”

Lu Mingyu had been kept busy over the past few days for Lu Yang to be on a variety show. He pulled out his own resources relentlessly to support Lu Yang.

Simply put, Lu Mingyu had few true friends in the industry, and few were more well-known than he was. Hence, Lu Mingyu set his eyes on Jiang Yanzhou.

Everyone on the internet knew that Jiang Yanzhou had never participated in variety shows, and no one had seen him visit anyone’s set. Zhao Yanshu’s mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg when he learned Jiang Yanzhou had agreed to visit Lu Mingyu’s set in the wilderness.

It was strange that Jiang Yanzhou, who was known as the two most unlikely people in the entertainment industry to get together, had a good relationship with Lu Mingyu.

Some netizens even said that Jiang Yanzhou’s only scandal was that he had a friend called Lu Mingyu.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Yanshu asked nosily, “Why are you friends with Lu Mingyu?”

Jiang Yanzhou did not even give him a perfunctory reply.

“You’ve known him for so long, but I’ve never seen you visit him at work before.” Zhao Yanshu asked excitedly, “What’s the reason you agreed to visit him at work?”

Jiang Yanzhou was not the kind of person who was easy to talk to, but he actually agreed to visit Lu Mingyu on set this time, which made Zhao Yanshu extremely curious.

One had to know that the only time Lu Mingyu won against Jiang Yanzhou was with his rumored younger sister.

“Hm. Younger sister?” Zhao Yanshu mused.

“Don’t tell me it’s because of the rumored younger sister?”

Jiang Yanzhou looked up and warned, “Are you very free?”

“No, I’m not.”

He was simply curious.

Zhao Yanshu vaguely felt that Lu Mingyu had something against Jiang Yanzhou. Otherwise, according to his style, he would not have agreed to visit Jiang Yanzhou even if a knife was placed on his neck.

Avoiding the topic of gossip, Zhao Yanshu rubbed his nose in embarrassment. “I heard that his sister is a fan of yours. I’m thinking if I should prepare a gift for her. What do you think about a pink Ultraman?”

Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words.
