Chapter 501: Sorry, But I Did It on Purpose
After listening to the other backup dancers, the dance teacher smiled and was about to say something else. At this time, Wang Jing returned to the dance studio with Jiang Yuning and the members of the boy group.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the dance studio was not right, Jiang Yuning immediately looked at Lu Jingqi. After that, she quickly asked, “What happened?”
When the other backup dancers saw that Wang Jing and Jiang Yuning were already back at the dance studio, they did not dare to say anything else. Therefore, they all looked down at their feet.
The retard would not be able to complain, anyway.
After all, it would not be easy for him to explain himself.
Otherwise, why didn’t he talk to them even after being in contact with them for two days?
However…
Lu Jingqi did not give them any face, and he pointed directly at the people who were standing next to Jiang Yuning at this time. He said, “They took off my mask and called me a mentally retarded kid. After that, they surrounded me and forcefully took pictures of me with their cell phones even though I asked them to leave me alone.”
After listening to Lu Jingqi’s words, everyone took a deep breath.
At this time, the smile on Jiang Yuning’s face disappeared as soon as she heard the word ‘mentally retarded’. After that, she walked towards the other backup dancers before she asked them, “Does he look like a mentally retarded person to you? Can you tell me why you think he looks like a mentally retarded person?”
The few people suddenly felt cold sweat in their palms as they glared at Lu Jingqi. However, no one dared to speak up at this time.
“Who ripped his face mask off? Stand up and admit it now.”
At this moment, Jiang Yuning was no longer the kind and gentle person that she usually was. She had a serious expression on her face and her tone was also cold and bitter.
The few people exchanged glances with one another as they stared at each other when they heard this question. After a short while, the three people who were not related to this incident took a few steps backward.
Jiang Yuning glanced at the boy and the girl who was still standing there before she asked, ” Why are you so shallow?”
The girl was terrified and she was already breaking out in cold sweat. Therefore, she gazed at the boy who was standing next to her. After that, Jiang Yuning got the answer that she needed. Therefore, she stepped towards the boy before grabbing the cell phone in his hand. At this time, everyone could hear a loud popping sound. Jiang Yuning broke his cell phone without any hesitation at all and everyone in the dance studio was shock at this time.
“Are you insane? I just took off his face mask,” the boy exploded immediately.
“I just broke your cell phone,” Jiang Yuning retaliated.
“How can a face mask be compared to my cell phone?”
“In my eyes, your cell phone is not even half as valuable as his face mask. Since your parents have not done a good job of educating you, then I will teach you what the meaning of the word, ‘respect’ is today,” Jiang Yuning scolded him in an angry manner. “You are already an adult so you should know that it is wrong to touch anyone’s belongings without their permission. If you can touch Jingqi’s face mask without his permission, then I can definitely destroy your cell phone whenever I want to. Tell me what’s wrong? Isn’t that your value?”
“I…” the boy named Wang Wei was speechless for a while.
“You can’t refute my statement? Very good. Remember this lesson, remember this unhappy feeling that you felt because someone broke your phone. I want you to know that he also felt the same way because you took off his face mask. If I have offended you in any way, I am sorry but I did it on purpose.”
“And you…” Jiang Yuning was very angry as she stared at the chubby girl. “Why are you so curious about someone else’s identity? Even if he is wearing a face mask all the time, is that hindering you in any way? Are you a dancer or are you a paparazzo? Huh?”
“I…” the girl also started stuttering as she was at a loss for words.
“Speaking of the mentally retarded, are you blind? There is such normal person dancing in front of you for the past few days, and you can’t even tell if he is normal or not? If that is the case, you should just donate your eyes to the blind.”
“Respect is mutual but I do not see that coming from the both of you at all. You think that it would be really interesting to humiliate other people? Do you like to take pictures so much? Alright then, come and take some pictures with me now…Let’s take some pictures together. You want to be famous? I will make you famous.”
When anyone looked at the expression on Empress Jiang’s face, they would know that she was already extremely furious. Who would dare to provoke her at this time?
Even Wang Jing stood aside with her arms folded in front of her chest as she watched the show, let alone the boys from the boy group.
Take a picture?
Who could win in a fight against Jiang Yuning?
Therefore, the few frightened people could only keep their heads lowered as they shook their heads.
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m really sorry. We were wrong.” the chubby girl said as she starting crying. “We should not have acted that way towards young master Lu.”
“Is it so difficult for you to realize that on your own?” Jiang Yuning asked as she sneered.
“Otherwise, we can just replace them,” Wang Jing suddenly proposed to Jiang Yuning. After that, she looked at the dance teacher as she asked, “Can we proceed with the dance with just six people?”
The dance teacher thought for a while before she nodded: “No problem.”
“Then you guys can leave now…” Wang Jing said as she looked at the few people indifferently.
“Let them stay,” Jiang Yuning had an opposing opinion with Wang Jing this time. “I want to keep them here so they can open their eyes and take a good look at how the ‘mentally retarded’ person in their mind can actually perform so well on stage. Moreover, Jingqi’s identity has already been exposed. If we ask them to leave now, I will be more worried. We should get them to sign a confidentiality agreement instead.”
“Can you tolerate this?”
Jiang Yuning did not want to make this decision on her own. Therefore, she turned around to look at Lu Jingqi to ask for his opinion.
She did not want to make the final decision on this matter because everything was up to Lu Jingqi.
However, upon hearing the words ‘confidentiality agreement’, the chubby girl turned pale immediately.
This was because she had already shared the photo of Lu Jingqi with her best friend immediately after taking the photo just now. Moreover, her best friend was now the lead singer of a popular girl group.
The chubby girl quickly took out her cell phone before she sent a text message to her best friend, “Did you share the photo that I sent to you about the young master of the Lu family with anyone else?”
“Why would I publicize something like that? Wouldn’t I be creating problems for you then? However, my agent saw the photo just now,” the other party quickly replied.
“He…won’t talk about this matter to other people, right?”
“No, no, of course, not!” the other party made a nonchalant promise, as she was completely ignorant of what kind of trouble her friend was facing now.
The chubby girl was already trembling with fear and she could only comfort herself. She could only trust that she could depend on her best friend of so many years.
At this time, Lu Jingqi stared at the broken cell phone on the ground, before he nodded his head and said, “Yes, I will prove it to them. I will show them that the person standing before them is a normal and regular person, just like everyone else.”
“Alright then, we will proceed and sign a confidentiality agreement with everyone here today.”
Therefore, everyone resumed their dance rehearsal after that.
Jiang Yuning did not feel that it would be a pity to drop those backup dancers from performing at the music festival, but she wanted to prove that the Lu family was not people that they could humiliate whenever they wanted to.
After the matter had been decided, the chubby girl was still pale and she felt that her body was very weak. Therefore, she could not help talking to herself when she was all alone.
“It should be okay, it should be okay, stop scaring yourself.”
In order to ensure that the matter will not be shared with the public, she also specifically instructed her best friend, “Please do not share this matter to anyone else and make sure that it does not get out to the public. Otherwise, I will be in big trouble!”
