Chapter 832: Chapter 832

"Xu Bo, there's a dinner with the system testing department tonight, want to join?"

Xu Ling'an turned off her phone screen and looked up at her junior who was enthusiastically inviting her. She smiled and shook her head, "What a coincidence, I have plans tonight."

"Ah, okay then." The junior, understanding, nodded but hesitated and seemed a bit dissatisfied. Seeing her about to leave, he quickly asked, "Is it a date?"

Xu Ling'an paused mid-step, glanced at him, "No, I'm going to a concert."

"A concert? Which singer or band? I also used to love attending concerts during college. Now with work, I don't have time anymore."

With the junior's envious eyes on her, Xu Ling'an's eyes carried a hint of pride, "It's not a famous singer or band, but the lead singer and composer for this band is my nephew. It's his first concert, and he invited our whole family to attend."

Of course, "nephew" is just a playful term; usually, Xu Ling'an, alongside her sister, calls Jiang Lingxu "Little Xu."

Jiang Lingxu never calls her aunt either, just uses her name.

After all, the generations in their family are indeed quite mixed up, so everyone just calls each other by name.

"Oh wow, didn't expect my senior's nephew to already be hosting concerts. Where is it held? Are there any tickets? Just right, our department hasn't decided where to go after dinner yet. If there are tickets, we might as well go support him."

"I'll make a call and check. There should be some left; their band hasn't been formed for long. Little Xu told me they're still quite a makeshift group."

With that, Xu Ling'an dialed Jiang Lingxu's number.

Already at the concert venue, busy adjusting the sound system, Jiang Lingxu was a bit impatient with the sudden call. However, seeing the caller ID dispelled his impatience, and he even smiled genuinely.

The band member who handed him the phone was stunned by his quick change of expression.

Not knowing better, people might think this guy was in love.

However, as close friends who have been together since university and formed a band after graduation, they were well aware of Jiang Lingxu's personal life.

This guy, despite having a face that attracts girls, could even make a simple buzz cut look handsome enough for older and younger female classmates to confess boldly. However, he truly has no romantic inclination; in four years of university, he's broken many hearts.

But thinking about the two latest songs he wrote, compared to before, they indeed have a more bittersweet feel.

Could it be unrequited love?

Nevertheless, Jiang Lingxu couldn't be bothered with him, "An'an, don't tell me you're suddenly going to work overtime and can't make it tonight."

"No, I'll be there on time."

"Then why the sudden call?"

"Do you have any extra tickets for tonight's concert? Some of my colleagues want to come and support you guys."

"Yes, yes, yes. How many? I'll find some good seats and send you the codes. Just follow the instructions to get the tickets when you arrive."

Although Jiang Lingxu wasn't sure who Xu Ling'an's colleagues were, anyone working with Xu Ling'an must be highly skilled talents.

Talented, elite, top-notch.

Having them attend their small concert would definitely be an honor!

"How many of you will there be?"

The junior waiting beside quickly signaled six.

"We need six tickets, is that doable?"

"Sure, I'll try to find seats together and send them over shortly."

"Alright, then get busy. I'll head over after work."

After hanging up, Jiang Lingxu looked up to see his bandmates staring at him with inexplicable expressions.

"Come on, be honest. Is this 'An' a girl you like? You just gave away six spots at once. Never seen you so generous before!"

Even though their small band hasn't been around for long and isn't that famous, they've gathered some fans.

Plus, the ticket prices aren't high, even students can afford to splurge on one or two with their allowance. The concert seats, apart from those reserved for family and friends, don't have many open spots left.

And here he is, giving away six spots for free without a second thought.

If this girl An'an isn't special to Jiang Lingxu, he'd do a headstand while playing the guitar!

"Why so nosy? Go do your thing."

The more you try to cover it up, the more suspicious it is.

Anyway, since this An'an will be coming to the concert tonight, he'll just have to watch and see for himself.

He must meet the extraordinary girl who made Jiang Lingxu love in vain and not even dare to mention it to his brothers!

Jiang Lingxi also received an invitation from Jiang Lingxu.

She hadn't really paid much attention to Jiang Lingxu's career, only knowing that near university graduation he formed a band with some classmates, and over the past two years, the band gained some reputation.

Come to think of it, even Shen Qiangqiang seemed more informed about her uncle's work.

Shen Qiangqiang didn't have much musical talent; she simply thought her uncle and his team looked cool and awesome playing music together.

Previously, when Jiang Lingxu brought her to the band, she eagerly tried out different instruments, but in the end, she only seriously played the drums, showing no interest in the others.

But she really enjoyed watching live concerts.

The most important thing is the lively atmosphere!

Because Shen Qiangqiang was so eager, the family even moved dinner an hour ahead.

After eating, they drove straight to the concert venue.

They had VIP tickets from Jiang Lingxu, which allowed them to use a special entrance.

Upon reaching the audience seats, they realized they weren't the earliest to arrive.

Jiang Wenhu laughed brightly, spreading her arms to catch her granddaughter running toward her. "Slow down, slow down, don't trip." Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁

Jiang Lingxi decisively handed her chubby daughter to her own mother and sat down with Shen Yunqing in the back row, "How long have you guys been here?"

"Not long, we were just surveying a project nearby. After a quick bite, we came over. What about you? Not busy now?"

"Just finished filming a drama, planning to take a break and only take a good script when it comes by."

"Good, you should rest, spend more time with Yunqing and our Qiangqiang."

Previously, while filming, it was Shen Yunqing who brought Shen Qiangqiang to the set to accompany her; though they only stayed for a few days before going off on their own adventures nearby, it was counted as keeping her company by approximation.

Now it was the other way around; fine, accompany them then!

It was just bringing along the big one and the small one for outings, hardly any hassle at all!

While the adults chatted, Shen Qiangqiang curiously looked around.

As she looked, her gaze fixed and she shouted, "An'an Auntie!"

Jiang Wenhu hastily swallowed her words and looked over.
