Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother-Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Participating in a Variety Show Together

At Hialeah international airport, Lu Mingyu, who had just finished attending the annual TMEA top chart music festival, was looking at the latest news in the entertainment industry.

His lips were tightly pursed. It was obvious that he was unhappy.

His manager, Chen Su, frowned and scolded angrily, “You’re too impulsive! Qin Yitan is your senior. You can’t just scold him on stage even if you’re unhappy with him. The marketing accounts are saying that you’re taking revenge because you lost to Qin Yitan in the music chart.”

Chen Su did not stop nagging, and Lu Mingyu listened to him casually.

Looking at Lu Mingyu’s carefree attitude, Chen Su was furious.

Lu Mingyu was known as a celebrity with simply a pretty face in the entertainment industry. Although he had handsome features, porcelain fair skin, and plump lips, he seemed so dazzling but not feminine in any way. His fair, delicate face stood out most in the entertainment circle, where good-looking people were commonplace.

Based on his looks, he would definitely be doing very well in the entertainment industry.

It was a pity that he was too reckless.

At the top, half were anti-fans, while the other half were true fans.

As long as Lu Mingyu had the slightest bit of trouble, his anti-fans would come to slander him.

If Chen Su and the staff had not stopped them in time, it would not just be “Lu Mingyu Being Sarcastic” or “Lu Mingyu Insulting Qin Yitan Out of Jealousy” trending on Twitter. Instead, it would be “Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan Fighting on the Red Carpet.”

After a night, Chen Su’s anger subsided.

Lu Mingyu always caused trouble and turned a deaf ear to his scolding. He had long been used to it.

Chen Su’s expression was dejected. He glanced at Lu Mingyu’s phone screen and said, “You don’t have to catch a plane back. Although the ceremony wasn’t enjoyable, the organizer also provided a five-star hotel. We can stay for a night before going back.”

“Could it be that something has happened at home?”

“My sister is home,” Lu Mingyu replied lazily.

Chen Su was stunned. “Your sister who ran away from home and wanted to cut off all ties with the Lu family?”

“Yes.” Lu Mingyu nodded.

Lu Mingyu suddenly thought of something and said, “The first thing my sister did when she came home was to see me. Am I that likable?”

Looking at Lu Mingyu’s smug smile, Chen Su was speechless.

He hurriedly dealt with the media, but the main character involved in the matter still had a noble and cold look, not caring at all.

Lu Yang’s body had been weak since she was young. She accepted her grandparents’ professional advice and stayed in the countryside to recuperate. She only returned to the Lu family when she was 16.

Although her father, Lu Chen, and her mother, Ning Qingyun, treated her well, there was always an unknown barrier between them. In the Lu family, Lu Yang was the closest to Lu Mingyu.

When she was young, Lu Mingyu would often visit the countryside, play with her, and tell her about the new things in the city.

However, after Lu Mingyu debuted, he was not at home mostly. The rebellious Lu Yang could not find a sense of belonging at home, and she heard that the Lu family wanted to use her as a sacrifice for a business marriage.

Lu Chen and Ning Qingyun were infuriated by her, but they could not do anything about it. They could only forcibly stop her cards.

However, Lu Yang was in her rebellious phase. How could she give in?

Without saying a word, she ran away from home and did not look back, no matter how they tried to persuade her.

If it weren’t for Lu Mingyu’s secret help, given Lu Yang’s personality, she would have ended up on the streets in no time.

Lu Yang was exhausted on the first day back. She took a shower and a good night’s sleep to recover.

She only returned to the Lu residence the next day.

The house covered a large area and had a broad green coverage. Although it was not in the city center, it was in the prosperous villa area within the third ring road.

It was a familiar arrangement for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang alighted from the car, and just as she stepped through the main door, the servant trimming the plants turned around in shock. “M-Miss?”

“The last time I saw miss was a year ago. I didn’t expect her to change so much!” the servant thought.

“Yes.”

The apocalypse removed Lu Yang’s princess syndrome. Although her appearance didn’t change much, her temperament had changed considerably, especially her clear eyes, which were unusually bright.

“Is my brother back?” Please visit ｆ𝗿𝗲𝒆we𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝚎𝒍. 𝒄o𝚖

“Mr. Mingyu came back early in the morning. He should be in his room now.” The servant added, “Mrs. Lu is here too. Mr. Lu has yet to return from his business trip.”

Lu Yang was flexible. Last night, she called the Lu family based on her memory and told them that she was going home today. Therefore, she knew that Lu Chen was not at home.

After chatting with the servants, Lu Yang went upstairs.

Just as she reached the second floor, Lu Yang heard the conversation inside.

“I heard that Yangyang wants to enter the entertainment industry. Mingyu, you have a lot of resources. Help her more.”

“Mom, if you care so much about her, why don’t you tell her yourself?”

“This child has a stubborn personality. If she knew that your dad and I were helping her, she would definitely not agree. It wasn’t easy for Yangyang to recover. It’s not good if she suffers outside and gets sick again!”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll take good care of Yangyang.”

Lu Yang was speechless.

Lu Mingyu knew that the entertainment industry was very deep, and there were many internet trolls. He was afraid that brainless netizens would slander Lu Yang. When he discovered that Lu Yang wanted to enter the entertainment industry, he was the first to say no sternly.

Lu Yang did not want to eavesdrop. She coughed and knocked on the door. She pushed the door open and entered.

Lu Mingyu and Ning Qingyun heard the commotion and turned around. They blinked when they saw Lu Yang in a simple t-shirt and black pants.

“Mom, Mingyu.”

Ning Qingyun wore a blue and white cheongsam, making her skin look paler. She had an elegant temperament. When she saw her daughter, whom she had not seen for a long time, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes rippled.

After all, it was her child. How could she not be worried? It was just that she didn’t usually show it.

...

Lu Yang went forward, and Ning Qingyun hugged him. she said emotionally, “Yangyang, it’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.”

After receiving Lu Yang’s call last night, they were so excited that they couldn’t sleep. They were both happy and worried.

She was delighted that this was the first time Lu Yang had taken the initiative to go home, but she was worried that Lu Yang would leave again.

Lu Yang didn’t have a deep understanding of family love.

She was more emotionally independent in the countryside, with the Lu family, or during the apocalypse.

After reminiscing for a while, Lu Mingyu went to the balcony to take the call because he had something to do at work. Lu Yang continued to chat with Ning Qingyun.

While Ning Qingyun was getting the servants to clean up Lu Yang’s room, she talked to Lu Mingyu about the variety show.

Lu Mingyu hung up the phone and turned around to see Lu Yang staring at him.

He walked up and patted Lu Yang’s head. “What? Are you mesmerized after seeing my overly handsome face?”

Lu Yang was speechless.

Lu Yang pushed his hand away and said in a serious tone, “Mingyu, when are you leaving the industry?”

...

Lu Mingyu snickered as if he had heard a joke. “I want to leave the entertainment industry too, but I have tens of millions of fans in the entertainment industry. They will be very sad if I leave the industry. To benefit them, I’ll continue to work in the industry even when I’m 80!”

Lu Yang exposed him ruthlessly. “You mean the millions of anti-fans? If you leave the industry, they’ll be sad, but they’ll be sad that no one will criticize them anymore.”

Lu Mingyu’s mouth twitched. He was at a loss for words.

“Lu Yang, you’re torturing my heart rather than severing my body!” he mused.

Sensing that Lu Mingyu didn’t want to leave the industry, Lu Yang didn’t want to force him either, so she changed the topic.

“Are you going to participate in a survival in the wilderness show soon?”

“Yes.” Lu Mingyu was shocked. “Yangyang, how did you know?”

Chen Su had called him just now to talk about the variety show.

He had only found out a few minutes ago, but Lu Yang already knew.

A sense of realization suddenly struck Lu Mingyu. “Could this be what it means to be connected by blood?!”

Lu Yang looked at him as if he was an idiot, speechless.

Judging from Lu Mingyu’s reaction, the variety show contract had already been signed.

The price for breaking a contract was very high. It was not just money, but also credibility. It was related to Lu Mingyu’s future development in the entertainment industry.

Based on her understanding of Lu Mingyu, even if Lu Yang were to tell him what happened at the variety show, he would not believe it.

Lu Yang wasted her breath and thought for a long time. She lifted her chin, and her dark eyes were determined.

“Mingyu, you said in front of mom that you’ll agree to all my requests. Do you mean it?”

“Of course!”

“I want to participate in the wilderness with you.”

“Huh?! No way!”
