Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Hanging in the Balance This Time

Jiang Jing saw Fu Yun deep in thought, unable to discern her thoughts, and obediently said: “Godmother, I lost my composure. I shouldn’t have thoughts like these. Actually, thinking about it, having pressure is good, as it gives more motivation.”

Fu Yun came back to her senses and upon hearing Jiang Jing’s heartfelt words, the dissatisfaction in her heart dissipated.

This was just like Yaoyao, even facing pressure she was fearless.

A smile reappeared on her face, and she said reassuringly: “It’s good that you think this way. Qiao Yun is not yet worthy to be your opponent. You will face many more people in the future. You cannot lose confidence now.”

“Yes,” Jiang Jing said softly: “I understand.”

Fu Yun held Jiang Jing’s hand: “Don’t worry, whatever happens, I am here for you.”

Before marrying into the Huo Family, whenever Fu Yao encountered trouble, she could only feel helpless.

Now it was different; she had the power and influence to do something for Jiang Jing.

She would absolutely not allow a tragedy to occur again.

Fu Yun did realize that she was treating Jiang Jing as a way to atone for treating Fu Yao, which was somewhat ridiculous, but it also eased her sense of guilt a bit. Perhaps when Pei Ya returns, things will be better.

Jiang Jing previously could not guess why Fu Yun was good to her, until she later learned about Fu Yun’s and Pei Ya’s affair. Alongside shock was also a sense of panic.

How could she, a person so perceptive, not have thought that once Pei Ya acknowledged Fu Yun, she would become the one who was abandoned?

Therefore, now she naturally wants to seek benefits for herself.

After all, it was Fu Yun’s voluntary decision; she took it with a clear conscience.

Thus, she smiled, did not ask what Fu Yun meant by her words, she still knew when to advance or retreat, it’s best to leave some things unsaid.

Xu Qiao, looking at Jiang Jing’s smiling face, suddenly remembered Jiang Shaocheng’s words, “Jingjing, has changed too much.”

She hadn’t taken it to heart before, but now she finally understood.

Her heart couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

But the arrow was already released from the bow, what use was there in worrying now?

“Jing, let’s go.”

Adrian and Huo Lin had finished talking, and Darren, as the Chief of this team, called out to Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing then said to Fu Yun: “Godmother, I will go with them first.”

Fu Yun smiled lightly: “Go ahead, I’m also about to head there, godmother will cheer for you.”

Jiang Jing’s eyes curled with joy, “Thank you, godmother.”

Fu Yun watched Jiang Jing with a smile, then took out her phone to send a message to the butler.

[Please help me handle something.]

[What is it, madam?]

Fu Yun shared her thoughts with the butler, and only after receiving his response did she casually put down her phone.

Jiang Jing appeared cheerful as she came over to where Darren was.

Darren quite liked this future junior, after all, who wouldn’t like someone who’s both beautiful and obedient. He kindly instructed: “Just follow me when the time comes, I’ve got everything covered.”

“Okay.” Jiang Jing replied superficially.

This time she was just a team member, most of the attention wouldn’t be focused on her, but as long as she was exceptional, why worry about blending in with the crowd?

Adrian and his team members left.

Huo Lin stood there for a while, his expression unreadable, deep in thought.

Fu Yun said gently: “Alin, let’s go.”

Huo Lin lowered his gaze to Fu Yun: “Mom, don’t forget what you promised me.”

Displeasure flashed in Fu Yun’s eyes, “I know, I won’t make a scene, I’ve already taken my medication.”

She never took any medicine, it’s a lie.

Only then was Huo Lin willing to bring Fu Yun along to the event; he couldn’t bear to keep watching over her all the time.

As long as they don’t run into Pei Ya, it should be fine.

…

There are many large-scale events held in Shangjing City every year, but this is the first time one has attracted so much attention.

It adheres to the belief that if you are going to host it, it has to be the most grandiose.

This international exchange event involves a competition between Tianqi and the Future Alliance, among other segments including speeches and exhibitions.

However, what all attendees are most concerned about is this exchange competition.

When Qiao Yun arrived at the scene, she happened to meet Su Qingqing and Su Qingyan.

Upon seeing Qiao Yun, Su Qingqing’s eyes lit up, and she considerately encouraged: “Cousin, don’t be stressed; relax, come, take a deep breath with me.”

She took a deep breath, yet signaled with her eyes that it was Qiao Yun’s turn.

Qiao Yun: “…”

Qiao Yun twitched her mouth slightly and said obediently with a pale face: “Sister, I’m not stressed.”

Su Qingqing remained skeptical; it was impossible for a normal person to not be nervous in such a situation. She reckoned she would be extremely nervous because losing would mean humiliation on an international level.

Fearing her own words might add more pressure on Qiao Yun, Su Qingqing put on a believing face and said: “Okay, if you’re not stressed, that’s good. I will be watching you from below, and my dad is here too; our whole family will be cheering for you.”

Su Qingyan appropriately chimed in: “Yeah, cousin, go for it.”

Qiao Yun sincerely responded: “Thank you.”

Su Qingqing, not wanting to delay Qiao Yun, chatted briefly before urging her to go on.

Her gaze followed Qiao Yun as she moved, and she turned to ask Su Qingyan, “Do you think she really isn’t stressed, or is she just pretending to be calm?”

Su Qingyan replied: “I don’t know, but I checked the leader of the Future Alliance, a person named Darren, who has participated in numerous international competitions and has his independent research projects. Do you know what that means?”

“Ah? What?” Su Qingqing didn’t understand these matters.

Su Qingyan adjusted his glasses, his brow furrowed and said, “It means he’s battle-hardened, possesses mature skills, and even on a knowledge level, he exceeds ordinary people.”

Su Qingqing was astonished: “Is it really that exaggerated?”

“In fact, it might be even more exaggerated than I said.” Su Qingyan looked worried, “Cousin’s opponent this time is very strong.”

Su Qingqing felt nervous without reason, “Isn’t this like an adult bullying a child? Why didn’t Tianqi send someone else?”

“Send someone else?”

A voice came from behind, and turning, Su Qingqing saw Lu Shiran, accompanied by two young people who she recognized having hung out with before; she remembered one was named Cheng Yi and the other Yu Fan.

Lu Shiran greeted them with a smile: “What a coincidence, what are you talking about?”

Su Qingqing answered: “We were talking about my cousin’s opponent this time, apparently very strong. It seems like my cousin is in a tough spot.”

“Is that so.” Lu Shiran appeared calm and unconcerned, “No matter how strong, it’s just that.”

Su Qingqing was puzzled: “Aren’t you worried at all?”

Lu Shiran, surprised, exclaimed: “Worried? Why wouldn’t I be worried, I’m worried they will lose too badly.”

Su Qingqing: “…”

Lu Shiran winked and said: “Sister Su, just watch.”

Su Qingqing was speechless and overwhelmed; what is there to watch.

She felt frantic, as if she was the only one worrying for no reason.

Noticing Su Qingqing’s fixed dumbfounded expression, Su Qingyan patted her shoulder: “Cousin dares to step up and take on this pressure, that’s already quite impressive.”
