Unlikely Friendship! You Were Reborn Too, Weren't You?

Jiang Cheng wore a miserable expression, while Butler Fu spread his hands, indicating there was nothing he could do.

Just then, a sports car came to a steady stop at the entrance.

"Brother Cheng, I brought your wife back!"

Lu Ming waved at Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng was deeply moved.

A timely savior!

Li Shiyao got out of the car and, seeing Jiang Cheng approaching her, angrily turned her head away.

Hmph~ Bad Senior!

He actually left me there all by myself. But since he was in such a hurry, as long as he came over and coaxed me a little, I would forgive him.

With a whoosh,

Li Shiyao only felt as though a gust of wind had swept past her. Her field of vision suddenly felt empty, and she froze on the spot. "Where did he go?"

Hearing sounds from behind her,

she turned around and saw Jiang Cheng and Lu Ming embracing tightly.

Aah, aah, aah!

Li Shiyao stamped her little feet in anger, feeling as if ten thousand ants were crawling through her heart.

Stupid Senior, wasn't I soft enough or sweet-smelling enough?!

He actually didn't come hug me and went to hug that silly idiot instead.

"Brother Cheng, your wife is still over there," Lu Ming cautiously reminded him.

"What wife? Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Cheng looked serious as he hooked an arm around Lu Ming's neck. "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

She was the Heroine. We were the Villain, got it?

Though his voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the silent night.

Li Shiyao bit her lower lip, looking aggrieved as she turned and walked away.

I'm angry. I'll ignore you for the rest of my life!

Forget it, a lifetime is too long. I'll just ignore you tonight.

Li Shiyao hummed under her breath, trying hard to give herself a way out.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming secretly glanced at Li Shiyao and quietly said,

"Brother Cheng, your face..."

"Enough, I know I'm handsome. It's getting late, so hurry home."

Jiang Cheng waved him off, not giving Lu Ming time to react before disappearing in a flash.

Lu Ming was left alone in the cold wind, utterly disheveled. After a long while, he finally muttered,

"I was trying to say... Brother Cheng, there's a lipstick mark on your face!"

Brother Cheng had left with Shen Xiyue just now, right? Then didn't that lipstick mark mean...

Hiss!

As expected of Brother Cheng. He had even won over the Shen Family's little devil, the woman who made Jiang Cheng's wealthy second-generation heirs tremble in fear.

Lu Ming stroked his chin. Did that mean he had another sister-in-law now?

Wouldn't that mean he could swagger sideways through Jiang Cheng from now on!

The moment Jiang Cheng entered, he saw Mother Jiang happily holding Li Shiyao's hand and tirelessly chatting about something.

The corner of his mouth twitched. Wasn't this preferential treatment a little too obvious?!

Sigh~ Ever since Li Shiyao came to the Jiang Family, his status had been dropping by the day.

Mom, I'm your son!

"Butler Fu, does your tooth hurt?"

Jiang Cheng noticed Butler Fu covering his cheek with one hand and looked puzzled.

Just then, Mother Jiang looked over, her face instantly darkening. "Jiang Cheng, come here!"

Butler Fu gave Jiang Cheng a sympathetic glance and cleared his throat. "Ahem~ I've eaten too much candy lately and got a cavity."

"I couldn't tell you had such a sweet tooth."

Jiang Cheng looked surprised, then solemnly added, "But you really can't eat too much. At your age, what if something goes wrong with your health?"

Butler Fu: "..."

Thanks a lot~

But I think the Young Master is the one who needs more concern right now.

"Mom, what is it?"

Jiang Cheng felt uneasy. Li Shiyao had returned, so why did Mother Jiang's expression look even worse?

At that moment, Li Shiyao stood up with red-rimmed eyes, then ran upstairs with tears shimmering in her gaze.

What was going on? This was completely baffling.

"Shiyao."

Mother Jiang helplessly glanced at Jiang Cheng and hurried after her. "You... go take a good look in the mirror!"

Early the next morning,

when Jiang Cheng woke up, he discovered that Li Shiyao had already left.

It was fine if she gave up like this, Jiang Cheng thought as he ate breakfast.

A familiar ringtone sounded. When he answered, a deep, powerful voice came through.

"Brother Jiang, this old man wants to ask you for a favor. Do you have the time?"

"Brother Bai, just tell me what you need!"

Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.

Bai Shouzhong, the old Principal of Jiang Cheng University, had countless students under his tutelage, with disciples spread across the land. Most of them held positions in the military and political worlds.

In Jiang Cheng, anyone who met him treated him with great respect and addressed him as Old Bai.

But no one knew that Jiang Cheng and this highly respected old Principal were Unlikely Friends!

On the other end of the line, Bai Shouzhong laughed heartily. "In a few days, it'll be Jiang Cheng University's School Anniversary. I'd like you to guide Weiwei in her instrumental techniques."

Bai Weiwei was Jiang Cheng University's musical prodigy and the dream goddess of countless Jiang Cheng University students.

"Brother Bai, with your musical accomplishments, how could I dare show off before an expert? Besides, I have no experience. I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this."

"If you aren't qualified, then no one is."

Bai Shouzhong shamelessly said, "Are you agreeing or not? If you don't, I'll tell everyone about our relationship!"

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly. Who would have thought that dignified Old Bai had such a side to him? He was practically an old rascal.

Unable to refuse Bai Shouzhong, Jiang Cheng could only agree. In any case, Bai Weiwei was not the Heroine, so there should not be any problems.

At the Bai Family residence,

Bai Shouzhong hung up the phone in satisfaction and slowly sipped his tea.

"Grandpa, who were you talking to just now?"

A gentle female voice rang out. Bai Weiwei wore a white qipao, her graceful temperament fully displaying the delicate beauty of a woman from Jiangnan.

"Weiwei, you're here. Sit down."

Bai Shouzhong stroked his beard and mysteriously said, "This time, I found you a master of musical instruments. You'll definitely be satisfied!"

Bai Weiwei looked astonished.

She knew her grandfather's musical attainments well, so she could not help becoming curious about this master.

The more Bai Shouzhong looked at Bai Weiwei, the more he felt she and Jiang Cheng were a perfect match, and an idea took root in his heart.

How about making Brother Jiang my grandson-in-law?

At worst, we could each address the other as we pleased. I'll call him little brother, and he can call me grandpa?

At the same time, in an upscale teahouse.

Two beautiful figures drew frequent glances from everyone around them.

"What did you want to see me about?"

Jiang Ruoxue stared at the aloof woman before her with her beautiful eyes, feeling puzzled.

Naturally, she was no stranger to Shen Xiyue.

The Shen Family's eldest daughter, and also one of the women deeply in love with Jiang Cheng.

In her previous life, Shen Xiyue had exposed Ye Bufan's ugly true nature, allowing her to finally come to her senses.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng had already been murdered by then, and she had not been able to marry that gentle, kind boy.

Luckily, heaven had given her a chance to make amends.

"You were reborn too, weren't you!"

Shen Xiyue did not beat around the bush, her cold eyes fixed on Jiang Ruoxue.

"What do you mean?"

A tempest rose in Jiang Ruoxue's heart as she keenly caught the key phrase in Shen Xiyue's words.

She had been reborn too!

"You used an inspection as an excuse to bring people and lie in wait on the only road leading to Jiang Cheng several days in advance. That was to capture Ye Bufan, wasn't it?"

Shen Xiyue spoke calmly. "You should know that one person alone cannot deal with Ye Bufan."

"And if he doesn't die, Jiang Cheng will be in danger!"

"I believe neither of us wants to see that happen, right?"

Jiang Ruoxue took a deep breath and slowly let it out.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Xiyue curled her lips into a smile, tapping the tabletop lightly with her index finger.

"Very simple. Cooperate."
