Jiangnan’s words left the room silent!
His tone was brimming with confidence, even bordering on arrogance!
But one had to admit, Jiangnan spoke the truth.
A rare spatial ability!
His stage wasn’t Jiang City, but the entire world!
Finally, Old Master Zhong let out a long sigh.
“Xiaoxue was adopted by me, with no blood ties to the Zhong family!”
“I didn’t have much time left. If I died, Xiaoxue’s days in the Zhong family wouldn’t be easy!”
“So I thought to arrange a match with the Luo family, giving her their support so she wouldn’t be bullied!”
“The bigger this mess gets, the more unsavoury characters show up!”
At this, Old Master Zhong shot a glance at the Zhong couple.
They lowered their heads in shame.
The Zhong family’s business was built by Zhong Shan’s own hands, so he knew the ins and outs well.
“Now it seems I’ve got plenty of years left!”
“You young folks can handle your own affairs! I won’t meddle!”
Zhong Shan patted Jiangnan’s shoulder, their eyes meeting.
Both understood the meaning in each other’s gaze.
Though, the blood gushing from Zhong Shan’s nose really threw Jiangnan off!
Jiangnan flashed a bright smile, “Rest assured, Old Master!”
Zhong Yingxue couldn’t hold back her tears, biting her lip and wiping her eyes.
Her pitiful look was heart-wrenching, and Xia Yao stepped forward to comfort her.
Old Master Zhong had spoken.
This completely untied the knot in Zhong Yingxue’s heart all these years!
How could she not be moved?
Jiangnan had stepped up, all for her sake!
The usual Jiangnan was always joking, making people love and hate him.
Yet, quietly, he resolved one issue after another that troubled her!
Never letting anyone down!
Her heart melted!
She really wanted to hug Jiangnan and dote on him.
But with so many people around, Zhong Yingxue was too shy.
At that moment, everyone’s gaze towards Jiangnan shifted!
Curing Old Master Zhong’s cancer was nothing short of a rebirth for the Zhong family.
Those two pats on his shoulder proved a lot!
Old Master Zhong, with a dark face, said, “By the way, is this nosebleed ever going to stop!”
In just a short while, he’d filled eight large teacups!
If this was a blood donation, he’d surely get a little medal!
Jiangnan, “Don’t sweat the details! Men, you know, have those few days every month!”
Old Master Zhong: ???
Xia Yao, “Pfft… haha!”
She suppressed her laughter until her face turned red, her whole body shaking! Even pinching her own thigh!
Must not laugh!
Absolutely cannot laugh out loud!
Does Old Master Zhong not care about his dignity?
[Resentment value from Zhong Shan +1000!]
Though he cured my cancer!
I should be grateful beyond words!
But why do I want to beat him up so badly?
The banquet went on past 10 p.m., but Old Master Zhong left early!
He ended up heading to the hospital with his teacup!
Not because he feared dying from a nosebleed, but to get a thorough check-up.
The results stunned the doctor!
No illnesses! And in top-notch health!
He’d never seen such a healthy man in his seventies!
As the banquet ended, Jiangnan and Xia Yao waited in the car.
Zhong Yingxue was still with her parents, seeing off guests!
Jiangnan sat in the car, visibly restless!
He kept checking the time.
Hmm! 10:43, still early, still early! No rush!
Xia Yao, curious, “Why do you keep checking the time? In a hurry to get home?”
Jiangnan’s expression turned serious, “There’s a promise I must fulfil!”
“It’s my duty! My mission!”
Xia Yao: ???
What the hell!
“It’s so late, where are you going?”
Jiangnan, “To complete my unfinished business!”
Xia Yao suddenly realised something, sneering, “You’re not planning to go see that Yu Xiangnan… tsk tsk tsk!”
“No wonder she kept looking at you!”
Jiangnan’s face flushed, “You’re talking nonsense!”
Damn!
Does Xia Yao have a dog’s nose?
How did she figure it out?
Women are terrifying!
Xia Yao smirked wickedly, “Nonsense?”
“Then why’s your face red?”
Jiangnan, “I… drank too much!”
Xia Yao rolled her eyes, “The guy who downed 107 bottles, you’re telling me you drank too much?”
“Fool someone else!”
“Why’s your face so sweaty?”
Jiangnan, “Uh… it’s too hot in the car!”
“The AC’s on! You think the AC in my Rolls-Royce is for show?”
“Spill it, now!”
Jiangnan: !!!
I can’t take it anymore!
Keep this up, and I’ll really be exposed!
He checked the time, 11:00 sharp!
“Wait for me!”
Then he teleported away!
Xia Yao’s eyes widened, “Hey! You’re really going?”
“Stinking Jiangnan!”
…
Century Hotel, Room 69!
Yu Xiangnan’s mind was a mess.
Her thoughts were all over the place.
Ugh! Will he actually come?
I mistook him for a waiter! So annoying!
He cured Old Master Zhong’s illness, so handsome…
He probably won’t come, right?
A man like him must hate women like me!
But if he does come, what then?
Ugh! I’m so stressed!
As Yu Xiangnan was thinking.
The door lock beeped, followed by footsteps.
Yu Xiangnan: !!!
Jiangnan actually came?
Her face turned as red as an apple, nerves on edge!
Then she steeled herself! He’s here, what can I do?
“Shall we start then?”
Jiangnan nodded eagerly, “Start, start, let me find a video for you to watch!”
Yu Xiangnan: ???
This… we need to watch a video?
Jiangnan pulled out his phone and played Luo Tianxiang’s video!
Yu Xiangnan stared in shock at Luo Tianxiang on the screen, her expression turning sour.
Yu Xiangnan, “Ugh~ ugh~ ugh!!!”
Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) ugh!
“Turn it off! It’s disgusting!”
Yu Xiangnan gagged, feeling the stench through the screen!
Jiangnan snickered, “Now you know what kind of person he is, right?”
“You’d better be careful, that guy’s not normal, who knows when he’ll… eww~”
With that, he teleported away!
Yu Xiangnan: ???
What the hell!
You come to my room past 11 p.m.!
Just to show me Luo Tianxiang’s elevator video?
I agonised over this for so long!
So embarrassing!
Are you even human?
[Resentment value from Yu Xiangnan +1000!]
The next moment, Jiangnan reappeared in the car!
Zhong Yingxue was back too!
Xia Yao, stunned, “That was quick?”
Skeptical, “Three minutes? You… eww~”
Jiangnan: ???
Damn!
What three minutes!
Eww what!
Zhong Yingxue, curious, “Where did Xiaonan go?”
Xia Yao giggled, “Ask Xiaonan! Three minutes! Tsk tsk tsk!”
Jiangnan wasn’t having it, “What three minutes! I went to see Yu Xiangnan and showed her Luo Tianxiang’s video!”
“What did you think I was doing?”
“Pfft! Your thoughts are filthy!”
Xia Yao froze, then her face reddened!
He went out late at night just to show Yu Xiangnan Luo Tianxiang’s video?
“Pfft… hahaha!”
“My bad! I got it wrong!”
“Xiaonan! You’re too wicked! Hahaha!”
Zhong Yingxue, puzzled, “What video?”
Jiangnan and Xia Yao in unison, “It’s a secret!”
Zhong Yingxue: ???
