Chapter 256 - 256 Am I Not Amazing 4
In front of the camera, Lu Mingyu held the trophy and asked with a silly smile, “Yangyang, am I awesome?”
Everyone was baffled and wondered, “What’s wrong with him? He did it just when the atmosphere was passionate and intense. Did he suddenly feel like being silly?”
Lu Yang smiled and replied to Lu Mingyu’s question, “Mingyu, you’re really amazing.”
Su Yiran’s heart was pounding inside her chest. It was the first time she had seen a celebrity’s acceptance speech. She thought, “Were all famous people this adept at handling these circumstances like establishing a foundation and doing something meaningful?”
Su Yiran had seen many celebrities, but most of them were cunning and tried to get close to her for resources. She wasn’t a fool, so she drove them all away.
Su Yiran leaned toward Lu Yang curiously and asked, “Was Jiang Yanzhou’s acceptance speech like this too?”
“I haven’t seen it,” Lu Yang answered truthfully.
After some thought, Su Yiran answered, “Me neither.”
One of the people called out to Su Yiran, “Are you done watching? Miss Su, did you form this group just to get a private room for you and Ly to watch the live ancl asked witn a Silly smile,

One of the people called out to Su Yiran, “Are you done watching? Miss Su, did you form this group just to get a private room for you and Ly to watch the live broadcast? Come over and play games together!”
Su Yiran pulled Lu Yang and walked over. A group of people were playing cards, and when they saw the two of them, they decided to play Truth or Dare.
However, their version of Truth or Dare was different from the usual. They had one person ask a question to someone, and if the person’s answer wasn’t truthful or sounded evasive, they had to do a dare.
“Miss Su, how did your marriage arrangement with Jiang Yanzhou fall through?”
Su Yiran answered boldly, “Jiang Yanzhou didn’t like me, what else could it be?”
“Lu Yang, you’re a doctor. If Lu Mingyu and Jiang Yanzhou were in an accident, and you could only perform surgery on one person to save them while the other had to die, who would you save?”
“My brother.” Lu Yang’s answer had never changed.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu sneered, “See, I told you, no matter how powerful Jiang Yanzhou is in Holsten, he’s just a bootlicker… Ah!” He was suddenly jabbed by someone next to him, and he immediately stopped his words.
Jiang Yanzhou quickly spread. It seemed that Jiang Yanzhou had been chasing a girl from Holsten to Yonkers for several years, but he still couldn’t win her heart.
“What about Jiang Yanzhou?” Su Yiran asked in a low voice.
Lu Yang lowered her gaze, staring at the liquid in her glass, and said seriously, “If something happens to him, whether it’s heaven or hell, I’ll accompany him.” Once again, people were full of sighs, and Zhou Yu wisely closed his mouth.
So it turned out that Jiang Yanzhou’s feelings weren’t one-sided.
They finally had a point to criticize Jiang Yanzhou, but now it was gone.
The protagonist had just declared that she was willing to accompany him in life and death; how could she be a bootlicker?
As the event was wrapping up, Lu Yang asked Su Yiran, “What do you think of Jiang Yanzhou?”
“Are you talking about Zhou Yu and the others? They usually complain a lot about Jiang Yanzhou, as he puts too much pressure on them,” Su Yiran replied.
“You asked me to come here, not to show off, but to make me admit my relationship with Jiang Yanzhou, right?” Su Yiran playfully put her hand on Lu Yang’s shoulder and smiled sweetly, “Oh my, why are you so clever? I’m starting to like you more and more- I‘
Lu Yang pushed her hand away, “Enough with the flattery. If you weren’t pretty, I wouldn’t have come over.”
Su Yiran playfully said, “It’s a fair exchange. I’ll handle those arrogant malicious haters of your brother. How about that?”
“I’ve already taken care of them,” Lu Yang replied.
“So fast?” When they watched the live broadcast earlier, they accidentally found three netizens trying to slander Jiang Yanzhou as ‘killing the White
Swan.’
“No overnight stays.”
Su Yiran gave her a thumbs up. “1 love your efficient style!”
After praising each other for a while, Lu Yang didn’t stay long and bid Su Yiran goodbye. “It’s getting late; I should go home. Let’s meet again another day.”
“Sure, see you another day.”
Before leaving, Lu Yang had informed Jiang Yanzhou that she would go back on her own, so he didn’t have to pick her up. He planned to meet her parents in the evening.
After finding out about Jiang Yanzhou’s background, Ning Qingyun and Lu Chen rushed back overnight.
Seeing Jiang Yanzhou, Ning Qingyun got straight to the point, “I don’t agree with you being with Yang Yang.”
During the memorial for her grandfather, Ning Qingyun had met Jiang Yanzhou. At that time, she could clearly feel that Jiang Yanzhou’s words, behavior, and temperament were excellent. She guessed that he came from a scholarly family but didn’t investigate further. So at that time, when Lu Yang and Jiang Yanzhou liked each other, they didn’t say anything.
But now the situation was different.
“If you were just a diligent actor, perhaps we would agree to you dating Lu Yang,” Ning Qingyun stated firmly, “but you are Jiang Xi’s son, and we cannot agree to that.”
Lu Mingyu would agree because he was looking from Lu Yang’s perspective, hoping that she could achieve her wishes. However, Ning Qingyun and Lu Chen were standing in the shoes of experienced parents, hoping that their beloved daughter would have a stable future without any risks.
They didn’t care about Jiang Yanzhou’s family background; as long as he had a good character and sense of responsibility, it was fine. However, if he came from a family that combined social status and wealth, Ning Qingyun couldn’t let Lu Yang be restricted in such a strict and conventional family.
As Jiang Yanzhou looked into their eyes, his gaze remained cold and rational.
“Uncle and Aunt, I know you are worried, but I earnestly request that you give me a chance.”
Lu Chen asked sternly, “Why should we give you a chance?”
Jiang Yanzhou took out a thick document and spoke sincerely, “This is a document I signed long ago, and it is already in effect. It states that I have donated all my assets to Lu Yang without any compensation.”
Promises are ethereal, but the document was real and valid.
Lu Chen and Ning Qingyun exchanged glances; these documents were all genuine and effective.
Ning Qingyun pressed her finger on the document, “I don’t care about the assets; I care about whether Lu Yang will suffer with you.”
Jiang Yanzhou took out a box from his pocket and placed it in front of them, “I plan to propose to Lu Yang during the first snow this year and hope that you both will agree.”
“This year?” Lu Chen furrowed his brows.
“I’ll propose first, and I’ll wait until she’s willing to marry me. To be honest, I proposed so early because I’m afraid other men might have their eyes on Lu Yang. She’s just too outstanding,” Jiang Yanzhou said, seriously planning Lu Yang into his future.
Ning Qingyun recalled when she asked Lu Yang about her plans with Jiang Yanzhou, Lu Yang had casually said, “I’ll take it step by step and go with the flow, no specific plans.”
Jiang Yanzhou was not only mature in handling things but also in handling relationships. Lu Yang was mature in her actions but not in planning for herself.
The lights were still on in the house.
Lu Yang had drunk some alcohol, and there was a slight drunkenness in her jet-black eyes.
She changed her shoes in the entrance and poured a glass of water before entering the bedroom.
Jiang Yanzhou was wearing dark pajamas, and his short hair was slightly damp. He exuded a restrained charm. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips moved as he called out, “You’re back.”
“Yeah.” Lu Yang nodded and sat in front of the mirror, removing her lipstick. Jiang Yanzhou was beside her, silently accompanying her.
After removing her lipstick, Lu Yang got up, and Jiang Yanzhou suddenly reached out and touched her hand.
The moment their hands touched, everything spiraled out of control.
Jiang Yanzhou held her wrist, and Lu Yang’s head started spinning. She fell directly onto the soft bedding, feeling a bit dizzy. His faint breath fell on her face.
“What are you doing…?” Lu Yang inquired.
“What do you think.”
Lu Yang’s face turned red. “I haven’t… haven’t taken a bath yet.”
Jiang Yanzhou’s breathing intensified. “We can do it later.”
“Don’t you mind if I’m dirty?”
“Only you would mind,” the man’s low and hoarse voice teased, triggering her sensitive nerves, “my beloved..”
