NOVPUBChapter 867: Chapter 867: This attitude is more intense than accompanying a child to university entrance exams_1 Chapter 867: Chapter 867: This attitude is more intense than accompanying a child to university entrance exams_1 Adrian Zhekova’s entire family was in attendance and they did not avoid public attention.
They walked openly amongst the crowd.
“Grandfather, Grandmother, why don’t you go sit on the stage first?
The crowd is too big while escorting me to the backstage,” Cindy Clarke suggested.
“No, this is the first time we’re escorting you to a performance openly, we must accompany you,” the old madam insisted.
Cindy was touched and nodded in approval, “Alright.”
“But only this time,” Cindy reminded, “there are just too many people.”
“Alright, alright,” the old madam agreed while laughing.
She knew that Cindy was worried about their safety.
...
After all, they were old and it would be strenuous for them to walk for too long.
The crowd surrounding them was enormous and they could easily be jostled.
If they fell over, it could result in serious problems, especially given their age.
Due to their concern for the elders, they walked slowly.
And that drew even more attention.
Many people noticed them.
“Is that Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova?”
“It’s them!”
Some audience members had bought season tickets and had seen every performance.
After seeing Cindy in person so many times, they immediately recognized her.
And naturally, if they recognized Cindy, they wouldn’t have trouble recognizing Adrian Zhekova standing next to her.
“Are those people at the back…
all elders of the Zhekova family?”
“I think the oldest two are the Zhekova elders we saw in Cindy and Adrian’s official announcement video.”
“And look, Adrian’s parents are there too, I recognize them.
They are helping the two elders walk!”
It turns out the audience had keen eyes.
People’s looks would differ slightly in video compared to real life.
While the difference wouldn’t be substantial, they might not be immediately recognizable.
“Oh my god, I believe it now.
Cindy really is very cherished in the Zhekova family.
They’ve all come to support her for her competition.”
“Actually, the Zhekova elders and Adrian’s parents have attended every performance before, we just didn’t know why.
After the official announcement, it becomes clear.
They have been coming to support Cindy all along!”
“They really adore Cindy!”
“Yes, the elders showed up personally to support Cindy in her official announcement video with Adrian, just to shut those slandering rumours.”
“Yes, it’s to prevent people from thinking that the Zhekova family is too prestigious and they must be against Cindy.
Some people are so narrow-minded.”
“Look at the Zhekova family, how generous they are.
They are not at all like what common people might think.”
“If they could be understood by common people, would they still be the Zhekova family?” 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
“Actually, because of this, my impression of the Zhekova family has improved.
They’re different from those wealthy families we usually think of.
They don’t care about others’ backgrounds.
They suddenly seem down-to-earth.”
“Yes, I previously thought that the Zhekova family was one of those aloof wealthy families.
Now I feel they are different from what I had imagined.”
“Think about those other prominent families, they all talk about political marriages and such, but none of them is as open-minded as the Zhekova family.
They just want real love instead of expanding their power through arranged marriages.
They don’t look down upon common people.”
“In this respect, the other families simply can’t compare.”
“Have you guys noticed that the other grand families are virtually all like this?”
“That’s why those lesser families can’t compare with the big eight families.
They’ve lost in terms of generosity.”
“Wait, who are those other four people?
Are they also from the Zhekova family?”
“They should be.
The man that looks about the same age as Adrian’s father also looks very much like him.”
“And the other two youngsters, they also resemble Adrian a lot.”
“Zhekova genes are definitely amazing.”
“Does anyone know if the two young ones are married yet?
Are they single?”
“Why, if they are single, are you thinking of trying your luck?”
“There might still be a chance!
Look at Adrian and Cindy.”
“The level of luck that would require, just thinking about it is enough!
Please don’t ever believe if it happened to Cindy, it can happen to you too.
If you keep thinking like that, you might end up staying single forever.”
“Take it easy!
I’m just daydreaming, not seriously considering it.”
“But it’s the first time they’ve come to the competition, they’ve never been seen before.”
“Other people from the Zhekova family came to support too, which shows the whole family supports Cindy.”
“So enviable!”
Amidst everyone’s envy, the entire Zhekova family escorted Cindy to the backstage.
Cynthia Florine and others haven’t seen Cindy for several days.
Upon seeing Cindy, Cynthia Florine instantly hugged her and said, “Little Cindy, I missed you so much.”
With such a warm welcome, Cindy was taken aback, but she let Cynthia Florine hold her.
Adrian Zhekova was standing by her side with a dark expression.
Hey, I’m her husband!
Even though Cynthia Florine is a woman, it’s still not acceptable!
Adrian Zhekova unceremoniously pulled Cynthia Florine’s hands off Cindy and pulled Cindy out of Cynthia Florine’s embrace.
He said with a dark face, “Just talk, no need to get touchy.”
Cynthia Florine: “…”
Hehe, this dog.
Upon noticing that all elders from the Zhekova family were there, even Cynthia Florine didn’t dare to act hot-headed.
“Everyone should relax, don’t be nervous.” The old madam smiled.
Everyone thought, how could they not be nervous with so many elders present?
“Didn’t Cindy and Adrian announce their relationship during the Spring Festival?” The old madam asked.
Adrian…
Everyone instinctively stared at Adrian Zhekova, his expression didn’t fit with his elder’s words.
“This is the first time Cindy has participated in the competition since the announcement, so we came together,” said the old madam.
Everyone: “…”
This display of support was even stronger than any parents accompanying their child during college entrance examinations.
During those exams, only the parents accompany the child.
But this was different, the entire family was here.
The thought crossed everyone’s mind – when Morgan Zhekova starts attending school, would they be expected to do the same?
Fortunately, people like Pingla were broad-minded and good-natured.
They weren’t petty-minded, getting upset over little things.
If not, they might have thought this was a show of force, a warning not to bully Cindy.
If Zoe Silverstone, Iris Doone, or even Joseph Tanner and Blake Walker were here, they probably would have thought the same way.
