Forced Buying and Selling? I Advise You to Mind Your Own Business!

After finishing the piece, Jiang Cheng set down the flute.

It had to be said that Bai Weiwei truly deserved her reputation as Jiang Cheng University's musical prodigy. She was exceptionally gifted.

Just then, Bai Shouzhong walked over while applauding.

"Brother Jiang, you've worked hard. Let's call it a day. Come on, let's have a drink together."

As he spoke, he did not forget to shoot Bai Weiwei a meaningful look.

"Yes, Jiang Cheng. Let's eat first." Bai Weiwei immediately understood and naturally looped her arm through Jiang Cheng's.

Hey, hey, hey!

What were they doing? Didn't they know men and women should keep their distance?

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes. He had every reason to believe Bai Shouzhong had not invited him here simply to teach Bai Weiwei.

This was clearly not about the flute at all!

After entering the house, Bai Weiwei brought out the dishes, and the three sat around the table to eat.

"Brother Jiang, have a drink."

Bai Shouzhong placed a brimming glass of liquor before Jiang Cheng, then poured himself a small cup.

The corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched. "Brother Bai, you know I can't hold my liquor. One glass and I'm down."

Nonsense!

It was precisely because he knew that he had filled the glass to the brim. Otherwise, how could he get him drunk?

Bai Shouzhong thought this, but pretended to be angry. "It's not often that you come by, brother. Of course you should drink more. Or are you worried that I have ulterior motives?"

Jiang Cheng: "..."

Shameless old man. He was just waiting to get him drunk, wasn't he?

Fine, he would drink. It was not like Bai Shouzhong could sell him off!

After downing the full glass of liquor,

Jiang Cheng's face was already as red as a monkey's backside, and he swayed even while sitting.

Just as he was about to topple onto the floor, Bai Weiwei swiftly caught him.

Reeking of alcohol, Jiang Cheng leaned into Bai Weiwei's arms. His head restlessly burrowed deeper, seemingly searching for a more comfortable spot.

Bai Weiwei's cheeks flushed. She let Jiang Cheng shift his head around and shot Bai Shouzhong a reproachful look.

"Grandpa, Jiang Cheng already said he couldn't drink. Why did you still make him do this?"

"Oh? It's only been a short while, and you're already worried about him."

Bai Shouzhong teased.

"You... have no respect for your age." Bai Weiwei's face reddened, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Hahaha! You little girl, and you still dare say you're not interested in this brat."

"I..."

Bai Weiwei was instantly left speechless. Looking down at Jiang Cheng's sharply defined profile, she could not help but smile.

Could anyone really refuse a boy like him?

"Weiwei, just watch. This kid won't be getting away!"

Bai Weiwei looked utterly confused as she watched Bai Shouzhong take out paper and an ink pad from the cabinet.

"Watch me strike first and report later!"

Bai Shouzhong waved his pen, and lines of tiny writing appeared on the paper.

In short, it stated that Jiang Cheng and Bai Weiwei were mutually in love and had agreed that he would become the Bai Family's grandson-in-law.

"Grandpa, isn't this a little inappropriate?" Bai Weiwei's delicate brows furrowed.

"Isn't this forced buying and selling?"

Bai Shouzhong blew out his beard and widened his eyes, saying seriously, "What do you mean, forced buying and selling? Brother Jiang hasn't refused."

"Right, brother?"

Bai Shouzhong patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder and spread his hands.

It was as if he were saying, See?

Bai Weiwei was speechless. For the first time, she realized just how shameless her grandfather could be.

"Weiwei, a man like Brother Jiang is highly sought after. If you wait too long, he'll be gone."

Bai Shouzhong had made up his mind and began acting like a rogue. "I already told those old fellows that he's my grandson-in-law. If Brother Jiang gets away, where am I supposed to put this old face of mine?!"

"If he weren't drunk, I'd wish you two would turn raw rice into cooked rice tonight."

Bai Weiwei's pretty face turned scarlet, as though steam were constantly rising from her entire body.

She struggled inwardly. Her grandfather was right—Jiang Cheng really was popular with girls.

If she missed this chance, she might never get another opportunity.

Gritting her teeth, she decided, Even if Jiang Cheng hates me, I have to try. At least then I won't have any regrets.

Seeing his granddaughter nod, Bai Shouzhong got to work.

He took Jiang Cheng's hand and gently pressed it onto the paper.

Hehe, done!

Time passed quickly, and before long, evening arrived.

Bai Weiwei sat by the bed, looking at Jiang Cheng as he slept deeply. A lovely curve formed at her lips.

"I really want to touch Jiang Cheng's Adam's apple~"

"No, if he finds out, wouldn't that be so embarrassing?"

"But Jiang Cheng is asleep now. It should be fine if I touch it once, right?"

"Mm, then just once!"

Just as Bai Weiwei prepared to extend her wicked little hand, Jiang Cheng slowly opened his eyes, clutching his dizzy, throbbing head.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Cheng looked warily at the flustered Bai Weiwei, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

"I... I was helping you pull up the blanket! Yes, that's right."

Bai Weiwei stammered out an explanation. Blushing furiously, she pulled Jiang Cheng's blanket up a little higher, then fled like a startled deer.

If she was just covering him with a blanket, why was her face red?

Jiang Cheng shook his head. The moment he stepped outside, he saw Bai Shouzhong humming a tune while watering the potted plants.

"Brother Bai, did you find money or something? Why are you so happy?"

"Of course. A happy occasion lifts the spirit, right, brother?"

Bai Shouzhong winked at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng: "..."

Did he get sand in his eye?

Then Jiang Cheng looked at Bai Weiwei nearby. She was sneaking glances at him, only to quickly turn away with a red face.

Jiang Cheng looked at the sky and said goodbye.

"Brother Jiang, come visit often when you have time."

Pah!

Did he really think he would come back?

After returning home, Jiang Cheng thought about it more and more and felt something was off. That old man Bai had been far too abnormal.

Had he smiled a little too much today?

Could he really have sold him off?

Forget it. No more thinking. His head hurt. Time to sleep!

At the same time, inside an Underground Boxing Arena,

The crowd was deafening, with frenzied shouts everywhere.

On the ring, Ye Bufan listened to the cheers around him, and the corners of his lips curled upward. This was what a protagonist's treatment felt like!

With his Internal Strength, wouldn't fame and fortune come effortlessly?

As the referee blew the whistle,

"Let us congratulate Jade Faced Flying Dragon for crushing his opponent once again!"

Just as Ye Bufan was basking in his pride, he had no idea that someone had secretly recorded everything.

Up on the platform,

"Miss, everything has been arranged." A Suit Man emerged from the shadows and spoke in a low voice.

Shen Xiyue nodded, her cold gaze sweeping over the ring.

Ye Bufan, this was only the beginning!

Over the next few days, Jiang Cheng enjoyed some rare leisure.

Li Shiyao, on the other hand, kept leaving early and returning late. He had no idea what she was busy with.

"Brother Cheng, something terrible happened!"

Lu Ming called, his tone somewhat anxious.

"What is it?"

Jiang Cheng lounged in a chair, eating a fruit platter as he mumbled.

"Sister-in-law ran off with someone!"

The words blurted out of Lu Ming's mouth. Feeling that was not quite accurate, he quickly corrected himself. "It's the Jiang Cheng University School Anniversary. Sister-in-law has a performance, and she's singing a love song duet with someone."

"That guy is the one who shouted at you to apologize back at Shen Family Manor. I think his name is Ye... Ye Bufan!"

"Really?!" Jiang Cheng sat up excitedly.

No wonder Li Shiyao had been leaving early and coming home late these past few days. So she had been charmed by Ye Bufan's appeal.

This was wonderful!

Jiang Cheng felt an immense sense of relief. This was absolutely the best news he had ever heard.

Lu Ming's tone turned fierce. "Brother Cheng, what do you need me to do? How about I find someone to deal with him?"

"That kid is way too arrogant!"

"I advise you to mind your own business."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped Lu Ming. That brat wanted to cause him trouble again.

Was a protagonist someone they could afford to provoke?

Sit down and behave, I'm begging you!
