Because of Jiang Cheng, the two women quickly reached an agreement.
"There's one more thing. Mu Qingcheng and Li Shiyao have likely also reincarnated. You know what that means."
Jiang Ruoxue was startled.
There might be more than four reincarnators!
That would be trouble. In their past lives, they could unite to avenge Jiang Cheng.
But living again, who wouldn't want to monopolize Jiang Cheng?
At the very least, that woman in the capital—convincing her would probably require Jiang Cheng to speak personally.
"Stick to the plan."
With those words, Shen Xiyue turned and left.
Jiang Ruoxue felt a strong sense of crisis and made a decision in her heart: she would move into the Jiang Family!
On the other side, Jiang Cheng arrived at the Bai Family carrying two bottles of wine.
"The garden style really suits Brother Bai's taste."
Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly at the rocks, trees, and water around him, then called out toward the courtyard, "Brother Bai, I'm here!"
Bai Shouzhong, who was talking with Bai Weiwei, lit up and jogged out.
"That voice sounds quite young." Bai Weiwei felt puzzled and followed behind Bai Shouzhong.
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard and saw what Jiang Cheng was holding, Bai Shouzhong's eyes gleamed.
"You brought gifts? Brother, you're too polite."
Even as he spoke, he naturally took the wine from Jiang Cheng's hands.
Bai Weiwei walked out and saw her grandfather calling a handsome young man "brother." She was dumbfounded.
This is the master?
Why does he look so familiar?
"Weiwei, come here quickly." Bai Shouzhong hurriedly waved her over.
Jiang Cheng was slightly dazed as he looked at Bai Weiwei in her white qipao—her figure graceful, her temperament gentle.
She exuded an air of scholarly refinement that was especially captivating!
But only for a moment; Jiang Cheng snapped out of it. Having grown used to heroines like Mu Qingcheng, he wasn't so easily flustered.
Bai Shouzhong caught Jiang Cheng's reaction and chuckled softly. "Brother, my granddaughter's beautiful, isn't she? How about becoming my grandson-in-law?"
Jiang Cheng stared at Bai Shouzhong in shock.
Good grief, I call you brother, and you want to be my grandfather?
The heroines are already giving me a headache. I can't handle another one—at least not until they return to normal.
There's hope!
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't refuse, Bai Shouzhong felt pleased and said nothing more.
Young people, after all—there will be plenty of time in the future.
He had great confidence in his granddaughter. Brother Jiang would eventually have to call him "Grandfather."
Bai Shouzhong thought happily, then turned to Bai Weiwei.
"Weiwei, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and call him Grandpa Jiang!"
"Grandpa... Jiang?" Bai Weiwei's expression twisted oddly, then her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed in delight, "You're Jiang Cheng!"
Now it was Jiang Cheng's turn to be surprised. He'd barely met Bai Weiwei a few times—how did she recognize him?
"So disrespectful."
Bai Shouzhong shot her a displeased glare. Brother Jiang wasn't his grandson-in-law yet; the generational order couldn't be messed up.
"Classmate Bai, do we... know each other?"
"No, we don't." Bai Weiwei shook her head, but the curiosity in her eyes didn't fade.
In your past life, I heard your name many times.
You made so many outstanding women devoted to you, never marrying anyone else.
Jiang Cheng, what kind of charm do you have?
Being scrutinized up and down by Bai Weiwei like this, Jiang Cheng felt his scalp tingle.
If we don't know each other, what are you staring at?!
This Bai Weiwei isn't some obsessive, is she? The plot never mentioned that.
"Brother Jiang, don't just stand there. Come inside and talk."
Seeing the two getting along so well, Bai Shouzhong smiled approvingly and quickly urged them in.
Forget it, since he was already here, it wasn't like Bai Weiwei was going to eat him.
Jiang Cheng steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and walked in.
On the pavilion, Bai Shouzhong and Jiang Cheng sat across from each other, while Bai Weiwei poured tea for them both.
"Brother Jiang, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't be willing to bring out this Mother Tree Dahongpao."
Jiang Cheng took a sip. Good tea, no doubt, but it had no flavor to him right now.
Bai Weiwei, could you please stop staring? It's giving me the creeps.
"Brother Bai, let's just get started early."
Jiang Cheng forced himself to speak. Bai Shouzhong was taken aback at first, then glanced between the two and revealed a knowing smile.
"Alright, you youngsters have your fun and chat. This old man won't disturb you!"
Such an obvious hint—how could Jiang Cheng and Bai Weiwei not catch it?
Brother Bai, you've got it wrong!
That's not what I meant. And Bai Weiwei, hurry up and explain!
Why are you blushing like a teapot blowing bubbles!
Jiang Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears. Once Bai Shouzhong left, only the two of them were left staring at each other.
"So... Jiang Cheng, what do you think we should learn first?" Bai Weiwei hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Jiang Cheng thought it over. "The flute."
"Jiang Cheng, you can play the flute?" Bai Weiwei was clearly surprised, her interest instantly piqued. "Is it because you like it?"
Glancing at Bai Weiwei's excited expression, Jiang Cheng shook his head. "No."
"Then why?"
After all, learning the flute wasn't easy—without genuine interest, it was hard to stick with it.
"Because it's convenient for showing off!"
Jiang Cheng blurted it out. Wasn't this thing easier to carry around than a piano or a guitar?
You could whip out a tune anytime, anywhere—it was the perfect tool for showing off.
"Are you ready?"
Bai Weiwei nodded, her expression serious.
"Then I'll start!"
Jiang Cheng placed the flute horizontally to his lips. As his fingers alternated over the holes, a clear, melodious sound rang out.
To be fair, as a qualified Villain, Jiang Cheng had maxed out his talent in the arts.
Bai Weiwei's beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched Jiang Cheng's handsome face, her cheeks unconsciously flushing.
Wasn't this exactly what her ideal partner looked like? High mountains and flowing water, lute and zither in harmony!
She couldn't help but begin plucking at her strings, playing along with Jiang Cheng, the two of them like a perfect pair of golden boy and jade girl.
Just as they entered a state of complete absorption, a figure not far away was secretly filming them with a phone.
Bai Shouzhong stroked his beard, beaming as he watched the two, his hands never stopping.
"Now, those old geezers are going to be green with envy!"
Three, two, one, time's up.
Ding ding ding~
His phone began vibrating nonstop.
Bai Shouzhong opened a group chat called "Sunset Old Baby."
Jinling Old Ghost: "Old Bai, is that Weiwei? And who's that young man next to her?"
Lingnan Ruffian: "Old Whitey, hurry up and introduce that young man to me. My granddaughter likes that type."
Kyoto Qin Buxiu: "Could this be the old man's grandson-in-law? That young man, I approve."
Bai Shouzhong read each message, grinning from ear to ear.
No need to respond—let them stew in their envy and jealousy!
Meanwhile, at the Qin Family in Kyoto, An old man in a Zhongshan suit shook his head. "This Old Whitey, acting like a child."
"But that young man really isn't bad. Just like me in my youth—handsome! Hahaha~"
"Grandfather, what's got you so happy?"
Outside the hall, a crisp, pleasant voice rang out.
A tall, elegant woman with a noble bearing stepped in, her high heels clicking against the floor.
Her white blouse hugged her graceful figure, revealing fair, delicate skin and refined features.
The old man in the Zhongshan suit smiled and handed over his phone.
"Yan'er, your Grandpa Bai is just showing off his grandson-in-law."
When Qin Yan saw the person in the video, her body stiffened, and the phone clattered to the floor with a thud.
That person was Jiang Cheng!
