Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

62 Chapter 62 A Substitute

While Zhao Yanshu was dealing with the comments on the internet, he suddenly saw a post: “Jiang Yanzhou was going to the variety show to give an award on the surface, but in reality, he was going to meet Lu Mingyu privately! There is evidence.”

The attached picture was a photo of Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Mingyu attending an event together previously.

Zhao Yanshu was at a loss for words, and he mused, “Which marketing account with a screw loose would come up with such fake evidence?”

As the top two most good-looking people in the entertainment industry, many people shipped Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Mingyu. After all, not only were they good-looking, but they also had a good relationship.

However, that was impossible.

Zhao Yanshu frowned as he dealt with the brainless comments. When he was done, he poured himself a glass of water and took a sip before finding Jiang Yanzhou on the garden balcony.

Zhao Yanshu walked over with half a glass of water in her hands and started a conversation, “What do you think? Do you want to develop your career in TV series?”

Jiang Yanzhou’s fingertips gently pressed on the script, and his gaze swept across Zhao Yanshu, then silently shrouded under his feather-like eyelashes. It was dark and hard to tell, and his detailed emotions could not be seen.

“I can consider it.”

Director Shen Xiangzhi had been filming movies for decades. This year, he suddenly said he wanted to make a TV series because he had worked with Jiang Yanzhou before and felt that this role suited him very well, so he handed the script over.

“I heard that Director Shen’s wife is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.” Zhao Yan explained, “Her last wish is for Director Shen to film a medical-themed drama.”

The script was good, the theme was good, and the cast was good. Now, they were just short of suitable actors.

Zhao Yanshu subconsciously turned his gaze. Suddenly, the outline of an object flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly turned back to the place he was looking at.

What’s with the golden stuff next to the script?

Zhao Yanshu’s expression was a little weird, “Didn’t you go to give Lu Yang the award? Why is her medal still with you?”

He had seen the medal before. This was Lu Yang’s medal!

Jiang Yanzhou was calm. “It’s not convenient for her to bring it around. She asked me to help her keep it for the time being.”

Zhao Yanshu was filled with suspicion. “I didn’t see you communicating with her in private when I watched the video and the live broadcast. I also didn’t see you guys handing her anything. How did she give it to you?”

Jiang Yanzhou glanced at the medal indifferently and stated, “She put it in my pocket.”

Zhao Yanshu was speechless and thought, “She stuffed in into his pocket?”

She made use of the camera’s blindspot.

Zhao Yanshu suddenly came to a realization.

He wondered why Lu Yang called out to him when Jiang Yanzhou was leaving. It turned out that there was a treasure in Jiang Yanzhou’s hands.

Lu Yang’s boldness was unpredictable.

Zhao Yanshu accepted this reality and remained silent for a while before asking, “Did Lu Yang say when she’ll be back?”

“What do you think?” Jiang Yanzhou asked.

He was implying how they could have discussed it when they didn’t even have a chance to speak.

Zhao Yanshu was suspicious. “You really didn’t take a fancy to this medal and took it back?”

This time, Jiang Yanzhou was speechless.

“I didn’t mean anything else.” Zhao Yanshu rubbed his nose, “I’ve finished the variety show and realized that Lu Yang isn’t obsessed with looks. She might have liked you because of one of your characters. She’s considered a fan of your career and wouldn’t have any other thoughts about you.”

Jiang Yanzhou glared at him. “You didn’t react like this when she touched my hand.”

“Well, it’s fine to touch your hand. Isn’t there an old saying?” Zhao Yanshu clicked his tongue and said nonchalantly, “A man’s hand is like a pig’s trotter. Touching it doesn’t mean anything. Maybe she thinks your hand is nice to touch.”

Jiang Yanzhou was speechless.

“If Lu Yang is really a fan, she wouldn’t be so secretive with her personality.” Zhao Yanshu continued, “I saw on the show that she was quite nice to Lu Mingyu. It’s rare to see a younger sister who is so patient with her brother these days.”

Jiang Yanzhou rolled his eyes and became interested. “Weren’t you the one who dug out that she liked me?”

“You could merely be a substitute. Lu Yang’s relationship with her family fell apart at that time. She had so many pent-up feelings and could only use you as a substitute for Lu Mingyu. If Lu Yang is really a celebrity-chaser, she’ll only be after one person, Lu Mingyu,” Zhao Yanshu babbled on.

Realizing something was wrong, he added, “However, these are just my guesses.”

Jiang Yanzhou’s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a light tone, “When will the variety show be done?”

“It’s estimated to be a month, but I heard there will be a typhoon in five days, so the show should be suspended.”

Zhao Yanshu was suddenly jolted awake. “That’s right. I haven’t given Lu Yang the Ultraman gift I prepared for her. I’ll see if I can give it to her in a few days.”

Zhao Yanshu had a new idea. “I think she likes your hand. Why don’t we find time to sculpt your hand in the next few days? I’ll give her a hand sculpture instead.”

“You’re the one who wants to acknowledge her as your sister,” stated Jiang Yanzhou.

“Who doesn’t want a smart and good-looking sister? Having a younger sister at home is like having a treasure!” Zhao Yanshu exclaimed.

Jiang Yanzhou was utterly speechless.

Zhao Yanshu’s attitude changed so quickly that there was no sense of disharmony.

Zhao Yanshu restrained his exaggerated expression and looked at Jiang Yanzhou.

“By the way, are you really not going to explain to Lu Mingyu? He has a video of you and Xiaoshi. Or have you communicated with him in private?”

Jiang Jinshi experienced a sudden heart attack the last time he was at the airport. When Lu Mingyu came across Jiang Yanzhou, he intended to say hello to Jiang Yanzhou. However, he noticed Jiang Yanzhou suspiciously heading to the hospital before he could.

Lu Mingyu saw that Jiang Jinshi and Jiang Yanzhou looked similar and assumed they were father and son.

Jiang Yanzhou uttered, “You seem to be very free recently.”

“No, I’m definitely not!”

Zhao Yanshu finally knew that Jiang Yanzhou would only allow him to be presumptuous when he talked about Lu Yang.

It was similar to how Zhao Yanshu felt when he talked about his goddess with others and heard others praise his goddess.

Zhao Yanshu took out his phone and opened Twitter, browsing through it with interest.

“Lu Mingyu is so lucky. Help me ask him if he has any other sisters when you’re free.”

Jiang Yanzhou asked, “Other sisters?”

Zhao Yanshu replied, “Chen Su is so fortunate to sign Lu Yang. I also want to sign a bright girl. Their family’s genes are similar, so the other sisters must be the same!”

“… You’re the one who’s looking for a substitute, aren’t you?” Jiang Yanzhou thought.

Zhao Yanshu’s mind went blank as he stared at the photo on the screen.

It was a photo of Lu Yang and Jiang Yanzhou looking at each other under the helicopter.

The girl’s exquisite and beautiful visuals were vivacious. Her features were extraordinarily perfect, but she didn’t make others feel threatened.

The man looked more imposing in comparison. His eyebrows were extremely dark, and his features were distinct. His strong facial features, matched with his fair skin, made him look very striking.

The two in the same frame were indeed a sight to behold.

But as he stared at Jiang Yanzhou’s handsome face, Zhao Yanshu’s thoughts drifted to outer space.

To be honest, Zhao Yanshu felt that between Jiang Yanzhou and Jiang Jinshi, the former was more like a patient, just by looking at Jiang Yanzhou’s expression.

Zhao Yanshu suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and stated, “By the way, I’ll be flying back to Yonkers the day after tomorrow.”

Jiang Yanzhou lowered his eyes and stared at his hand.

“Okay.”

There was a hint of laziness in his voice.
