The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 68

In the afternoon, Jing Zejun had a talk show interview scheduled.

Jing Yi, feeling a bit embarrassed about falling asleep earlier, refused to leave Jing Zejun's side while he was preparing.

Jing Zejun looked at Jing Yi, who was sitting upright beside him, with an amused expression.

"Yi Yi, you really don't need to watch over me. Everything's prepared, and we can go home after the recording is finished."

Jing Yi shook her head, refusing to leave. Since this was the last work commitment, she wanted to stand guard until the very end.

Before Jing Zejun could say anything more, the executive manager came over to announce the start of the rehearsal.

Jing Zejun had no choice but to give in. "Alright, you can stay for the rehearsal, but during the actual recording, find a seat and rest."

Jing Yi nodded in agreement.

After the rehearsal ended, Jing Zejun was discussing the final segment with the host. Jing Yi looked around and noticed a few people in the audience holding banners with 'Jun' written on them.

Curious, she walked over to them.

The group consisted of several girls who appeared to be about Jing Yi's age. They became excited when they saw her approaching.

They knew she was Jing Zejun's sister, and judging by Jing Zejun's attitude, he seemed to care a lot about her.

"Little sister!" One of the girls couldn't help but call out. Seeing Jing Yi look their way, she quickly covered her mouth, looking flustered.

Jing Yi asked, puzzled, "Were you calling me?"

The group nodded in unison. Jing Yi looked at them and asked, "Why are you calling me little sister? We look about the same age."

"Because you're Jun Jun's sister!" another girl exclaimed excitedly.

Well, now her seniority had dropped even further...

"Are you all Jun Jun's fans?" Jing Yi sat down next to them and started chatting.

She learned from them that they were all university students from nearby. They had found out about Jing Zejun's talk show interview from the studio's schedule release and had signed up early to attend.

So you need to sign up for these things, Jing Yi thought.

Looking around at the audience seats, she felt it wouldn't be bad to sit with Jing Zejun's fans.

"Wait for me a moment. I'll go ask Sister Li if I can sit with you in the audience seats during the recording."

The girls watched Jing Yi walk away, feeling excited.

"Jun Jun's sister is so pretty too!"

"Yeah, but in a different way from Jun Jun!"

"It's good we didn't listen to what people were saying online. Jun Jun seems to have a great relationship with his sister!"

Meanwhile, Jing Yi found Jing Zejun's executive manager and inquired about the seating arrangement.

The manager looked over and said, "Of course it's no problem. Jun Jun was worried you'd be bored and reserved a front-row seat for you. If you want to sit over there, just use this ticket to exchange seats with someone in that area."

She thought that nobody would refuse a front-row seat in exchange for one further back.

After sorting out the seating issue, Jing Yi brought several cups of coffee over to the girls.

"Thank you for supporting Jun Jun. Could I have one of those banners?"

Jing Yi had specifically brought coffee to trade.

The girl next to her quickly handed one over. After all, they had brought many to give to any 'Junzilan' they might meet during the recording.

Jing Yi opened the banner. It had a plum-colored gradient background with Jing Zejun's image and his name in artistic font. One glance was enough to see how much care had been put into it.

The camera crew zoomed in on the banner.

Then, viewers saw Jing Yi, with excitement in her eyes, unfurl the banner and wave it towards the center of the stage.

[Pfft! I suddenly find Jing Yi quite adorable!]

[Haha, the bodyguard has turned into a cheering fan.]

[You could say she's wearing multiple hats now.]

Jing Yi sat in her seat, chatting with the fans for a while. The audience seats gradually filled up.

Some audience members recognized Jing Yi and kept turning to look at her.

"That's Jing Zejun's sister, right?"

"Yes! I was watching their livestream today. Seems like she came as a bodyguard."

The show began its official recording. The livestream couldn't reveal the entire content of the show, so the camera only occasionally panned to Jing Zejun, mostly focusing on Jing Yi's reactions.

This variety show seemed to revolve around asking questions to the celebrities, and Jing Zejun wasn't the only guest.

However, perhaps due to the unique atmosphere in the studio, the host frequently directed questions towards Jing Zejun.

"Because Zejun has been receiving a lot of attention lately, finding your parents recently must have been a major turning point in your life."

Jing Zejun nodded with a smile, "Yes, it was."

The host continued, "How do you view this turning point?"

Jing Zejun hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Actually, for me, the only significance is that I once again have a family." Though it was just a gentle statement, it moved many in the audience.

The livestream viewers couldn't hear what was being said on stage, but seeing Jing Yi's expressions, they too felt somewhat emotional.

[I feel like everything else could be faked, but the closeness between these two sisters can't be.]

[Sometimes when I look at Jing Zejun, I feel like she relies more on this sister than on her two brothers.]

[There's more to relationships between girls than just competition...]

Jing Zejun's answers were impeccable. The host pressed further, "But this change also brought about a shift in your identity, didn't it?"

The studio grew quiet, as if no one had expected such a pointed question from the host. However, Jing Zejun seemed prepared.

Before the rehearsal, a staff member had approached her, hinting that some interview questions might be a bit sharp.

Jing Zejun smiled and said, "Yes, these material conditions are unavoidable, and even my second brother is in the entertainment industry."

The host hadn't expected Jing Zejun to answer so frankly.

"Actually, it's not just you. During the time when your identity was revealed, almost everyone was questioning why I was still following my original path when I had found a powerful and influential family. Even my family members thought the same."

"That's also something I'm curious about," the host chimed in.

Jing Zejun smiled, her face radiating a gentle warmth. "I was almost defeated by everyone's doubts and chose to compromise, but there was one person who truly understood me."

Jing Zejun turned to look at Jing Yi sitting in the back row. The camera immediately focused on Jing Zejun, then panned back.

"She would stand in front of me first, shielding me from all doubts. Only she knew that if I compromised in the face of others' doubts, the audience would no longer call me Jing Zejun when they saw me again..."

In an instant, all the audience members turned to look at Jing Yi.

She had been immersed in Jing Zejun's words, but seeing so many gazes directed at her, she smiled awkwardly in various directions.

[Hahaha, although we don't know what's being said on stage, Jing Yi's expression is too cute!]

[Didn't expect her to be a hidden introvert!]

[That lost little look, hahaha!]

Jing Zejun's gaze softened a bit more.
