After sending his master back to rest, Yuan Mulin got into his car and asked the driver to drive. He hesitated for a moment in the back seat, then took out his mobile phone and dialed his junior sister's number.
The call was quickly connected, and a muffled voice came from the receiver, "Elder brother, what's wrong?"
"Aren't you happy yet?"
"No!"
"I asked Master just now. Master has no plans to accept Miss Jiang as his disciple."
"Really or not, you are not trying to comfort me, right? Master has never been so kind to me before, and today he even talked to Jiang Lingxi during dinner. I feel like it doesn't matter whether my little apprentice is there or not. "
Facing the second senior brother with whom she usually had the best relationship, Guan Ying couldn't help but vent her grievances.
"Of course it's true. Brother, when have I ever lied to you? After all, Miss Jiang helped win Zhang Linxi. Master should be more polite and enthusiastic to her. But you, in front of outsiders, shouldn't act like a fool in front of Master. temper."
A word of 'you're welcome' and a word of 'outsider' finally made Guan Ying feel more comfortable.
"Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong. I'll go to Master's place early tomorrow morning to chat and play chess with him to make him happy. Is that okay?"
"Also, Master admires Miss Jiang very much. When I see Miss Jiang again in the future, I can't be as aggressive as today. Be polite to others."
Guan Ying responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone quickly.
She couldn't beat Zhang Linxi in Go, but Jiang Lingxi could do it easily. They were both similar in age, so she really couldn't treat Jiang Lingxi calmly.
"This girl..." Looking at the phone that was hung up, Yuan Mulin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
I'm so spoiled!

In the business car back to the hotel.
Lu Zhengzheng was also talking about Guan Ying to Jiang Lingxi.
"Sister Xixi, Mr. Shi and his second apprentice, Mr. Yuan, are both very good, but I feel that his younger apprentice is a bit less good at life."
"When you were playing against Zhang Linxi on stage in the studio, I was sitting next to Guan Ying. You beat Zhang Linxi, but she seemed a little unhappy."
"And when you were eating in the cafeteria, Mr. Shi was talking to you, and Mr. Yuan was listening and would chime in a few words. But she just lowered her head and played with her phone, and looked impatient when she was called. It's so rude. It's really I don’t know how Mr. Shi accepted her as his apprentice!”
Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the indignant look on her face, "Do you really think I'm a good person and loved by everyone?"
"No!"
"Old Shi is the only one who has friendship with me," Jiang Lingxi said softly, "As for Mr. Shi's two apprentices, don't worry."
Even Lu Zhengzheng could see Guan Ying's hostility towards her, how could she not feel it.
But she really didn't care much and didn't bother to care.
Guan Ying's arrogance comes from her talent in Go, but to her, this talent is simply insignificant.
I haven't even taken it seriously, so why should I care about it?
Seeing that Lu Zhengzheng still looked a little aggrieved for her, he had to add, "Guan Ying's character will fail sooner or later."
Coincidentally, Mr. Shi, who had just arrived home, chatted with his old wife before going to bed, and said similar words to Jiang Lingxi, "Xiaoying, I thought she was very talented at Go, she was young, and she was still a girl, so it was inevitable She is a little more pampered than other disciples. But today... with her temperament, I am afraid she will suffer a big loss sooner or later!"
"Why should you worry at such an old age? Children will learn to change after they have suffered a loss and learned a lesson."
"I hope so."

After some enlightenment, Lu Zhengzheng finally stopped being angry because of Guan Ying's little face.
Jiang Lingxi answered the call from Xu Ling'an.
"Well, we're already on the way. We'll get to the hotel in about half an hour. Get some rest early. Tomorrow the crew will be shooting at Wanchao Street, so we'll have to get up earlier than usual."
When Jiang Lingxi hung up the phone, Lu Zhengzheng complained in a low voice: "An An is a few years younger than that Guan Ying. He is still the top scorer in the college entrance examination and is being competed by top universities. I don't see An An being proud. I guess Guan Ying doesn't want to listen to Mr. Shi." I am playing chess with you, Sister Xixi, because I am afraid of losing to you."
After hearing this, Jiang Lingxi simply said: "Don't compare her with An An."
Lu Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded wildly, "I just said the wrong thing. There is really no need to compare her with An An."
Back at the hotel, Lu Zhengzheng put down her bag and went straight to the bathroom, preparing to put water in the bathtub so that Sister Xixi could take a bath to relieve her fatigue. However, when she walked to the bathtub, she saw that water had already been put in it.
She quickly turned around and went out again, "Sister Xixi, the water in the bathtub..."
Jiang Lingxi picked up a glass of sweet milk, glanced at the note paper pressed under the cup, opened the lid and took a sip, and replied: "An An came here just now, and she put the water in the bathtub. Hey, I've prepared it for you too. Sweet milk.”
Lu Zhengzheng took a sip of the sweet milk: She felt a little bit more in danger.
It rained all night in the Imperial Capital. Jiang Lingxi drank sweet milk and took a comfortable warm bath. She fell into an extremely deep sleep listening to the patter of rain outside the window.
Even if I am woken up by the alarm clock on my mobile phone when it is still dark, I am still full of energy.
"The weather is really nice today."
"After a heavy rain, it's finally not as hot as the previous few days."
"It just so happens that these two days are mostly outdoor scenes, so there is no need to worry about heatstroke."
Before rushing to Wanchao Street to shoot, you need to do your makeup in advance. When we finished packing and were ready to set off, it happened to be daylight.
A car carrying the crew and machines set off in the morning light.
Jiang Lingxi protected the hair crown on her head, and when she was about to get in the car, she was stopped by He Zhu who was running over.
"Miss Jiang, our husband has invited you." Sensing the glances from around him, he quickly added, "Let's prepare for the show on the way."
Jiang Lingxi turned around and waved to Lu Zhengzheng and Xu Ling'an who were standing behind her, "You two, get in the car. Let's meet at Wanchao Street."
She knew in her heart that there was no need for a scene between her and Shen Yunqing, so he invited her over, probably because he had other things to talk about.
If it involves what Wujue is investigating, then Lu Zhengzheng and Xu Ling'an are not suitable to listen.
Seeing the two of them getting into the car obediently, Jiang Lingxi turned around and followed He Zhu into the RV.
To be precise, she was the only one who entered the car. After He Zhu invited her over, he went around to the cab in front and drove.
The weather is cool, so the air conditioner is not turned on in the RV compartment, but the skylight on the roof is opened. As the vehicle started to move, a gentle breeze blew in through the skylight.
Jiang Lingxi no longer has to protect the hair crown on her head, even if she jumps a few times in the carriage, it will be fine.
However, after seeing clearly Shen Yunqing's makeup today, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Her make-up today was a white brocade robe, dressed like a rich man, and she was dressed incognito for a private visit.
Shen Yunqing plays the role of her attendant. Naturally, he no longer wears a purple official robe, but changes into a black and capable bodyguard uniform. But this bodyguard uniform is very different from the bodyguard uniforms worn by extras. After all, it is worn on the male protagonist.
Compared with the official robes and brocade robes with wide robes and long sleeves that show off the grace and elegance, Shen Yunqing is wearing this bodyguard uniform embroidered with black dark patterns to further modify her body shape, which perfectly embellishes her wide shoulders and narrow waist.
And to match that face...
How come she never thought of letting this girl be a personal guard for a period of time in her previous life?
If nothing else, at least it’s eye-catching!
