"Officer Jiang, let's get back to business. What do you want to ask?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at his watch. "If you have nothing else, I'll be leaving."
I really don't want to talk anymore!
Jiang Ruoxue sat down next to Jiang Cheng, pushed the noodles in front of him, and propped her chin in her hands.
"Alright, if you eat the noodles, I'll let you go."
Jiang Cheng was speechless. Why is Jiang Ruoxue being so gentle with me, a Villain?
However, to leave sooner, Jiang Cheng compromised again. He didn't want to spend the night at the police station.
Under Jiang Ruoxue's affectionate gaze, Jiang Cheng ate the entire bowl of noodles extremely uncomfortably.
"Was it delicious?"
"It was okay." Jiang Cheng wiped his mouth, his tone flat.
To be fair, the noodles Jiang Ruoxue made were quite tasty, but he definitely couldn't admit that.
"I'll make them for you again next time!"
Jiang Ruoxue's face was full of smiles, like a child who had received praise.
Jiang Cheng pouted. Get real! You want a next time? I don't want to come back here.
"Can I leave now?"
"Yes, why don't we go together? You don't have a car, after all." Jiang Ruoxue looked at Jiang Cheng hopefully.
Heh heh~ Dream on!
"No need, we're not going the same way!"
"It's fine, I can stay at your... Hey... Jiang Cheng."
Jiang Ruoxue watched Jiang Cheng's retreating back and snorted, "After eating my noodles, you're mine now!"
Outside the police station, A Long saw Jiang Cheng and quickly opened the car door. "Young Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Let's go back to the Jiang Family."
The Jiang Family, As soon as Jiang Cheng entered the door, he saw a stern middle-aged man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, with a beautiful woman sitting beside him.
It was Jiang Cheng's parents, Jiang Tianxiong and Li Rou.
"Dad, Mom."
"My darling son is back!"
Seeing Jiang Cheng, Li Rou quickly walked over, very happy.
Father Jiang remained motionless and shouted in a stern tone, "Come here!"
"Heh heh~ Dad!"
"Stop grinning at me. I thought you'd grown up when you gave up on Mu Qingcheng. I was happy for a moment, and then you ended up in the police station."
Father Jiang looked at him with disappointment, "Can you just stay out of trouble for once?"
"Dad, this isn't my fault!" Jiang Cheng explained with a bitter face.
"Not your fault? Then whose fault is it?!"
Jiang Cheng looked helplessly at Li Rou for help.
"Alright, it's a good thing our son is actively pursuing women. I should be happy! It's better than him pining over that Mu Qingcheng." Li Rou looked at Jiang Cheng with admiration.
"Sigh, it's all because you spoil him." Father Jiang sighed.
"Jiang Tianxiong, say one more word, and you won't be sleeping in my bed tonight!"
"I..." Father Jiang immediately shut up, closing his mouth and saying nothing more.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng quickly tried to smooth things over. An idea struck him, and he said, "Dad, don't we have a project overseas recently? Why don't you let me give it a try?"
"You? Can you handle it?" Jiang Tianxiong eyed his son suspiciously, as if seeing him for the first time.
Seeing that he had a chance, Jiang Cheng quickly sat next to his father. "Of course, I can! Besides, after you're gone, won't I have to inherit your legacy sooner or later?"
Father Jiang's face darkened. He casually pulled out a Seven Wolves from his waist and swung it towards Jiang Cheng.
"Unfilial son, your father isn't dead yet! And you're already eyeing the family fortune?"
"Dad, that's not what I meant." Jiang Cheng dodged behind Li Rou, "I meant I want to help you share the burden."
Li Rou gave Jiang Cheng a look and pulled Father Jiang onto the sofa. "The child means well, doesn't he? Besides, who else are you going to leave your fortune to if not Cheng'er? Do you have someone else outside?"
This fatal question completely reversed the situation and successfully got Jiang Cheng out of trouble.
Jiang Cheng watched from the side, dumbfounded, and silently gave his mother a thumbs-up. The family hierarchy was crystal clear!
You must be sweating buckets, Old Dad!
"What is all this nonsense!" Father Jiang's temper immediately softened, and he began to explain to Li Rou. In the end, he had no choice but to give Jiang Cheng a meaningful look.
"Mom, actually, I don't think Dad's that brave. How about we just forget it."
"That's right, son is right!" Father Jiang nodded. "Cheng'er, I'll leave that project to you."
Jiang Cheng's heart bloomed with joy. According to the plot, the Jiang Family's overseas project would take a full two years.
Two years later, the Male and Female Leads might even have a child. By then, it would be absolutely safe to return!
"Thank you, Dad. Then I won't disturb you and Mom."
Jiang Cheng scurried back to his room, closed the door, and lay on the soft, large bed, feeling incredibly pleased with himself!
The next morning, Jiang Cheng sat at the dining table with panda eyes, yawning continuously.
"Son, you didn't sleep well last night?" Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Cheng's tired appearance and nudged Father Jiang, who was only focused on eating, with her hand.
Father Jiang: "??"
"I was just too excited last night and couldn't sleep."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand. Just thinking about being able to stay away from the Male and Female Leads in a month made him too excited to sleep last night.
And now, too much joy led to sorrow!
"Even if you're excited, you shouldn't neglect your health! Young people need to know moderation." Mother Jiang earnestly advised, looking at Jiang Cheng with concern, and made up her mind.
"What?" Jiang Cheng widened his panda eyes, instantly becoming alert.
What was all this? A cross-server chat?
"Mom, I didn't mean it like that. I meant it literally."
"Mom understands!" Li Rou said with a knowing smile.
Jiang Cheng's face was covered in black lines. He decided not to explain anymore; this kind of thing only gets worse the more you try to clarify...
After breakfast, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang left the Jiang Family, leaving Jiang Cheng alone on the sofa, listlessly staring at the ceiling.
To avoid what happened yesterday, Jiang Cheng decided to lie down for two or three days.
At this moment, Butler Fu hurried in.
"Young Master, Miss Mu is here. She said she wants to see you."
"Mu Qingcheng! Why is she here?" Jiang Cheng sat up abruptly, thinking to himself, Are these heroines never going to stop? Why are they chasing me home?
"I'm not seeing her! Just say I'm sick. Whatever it takes to get her to leave."
Butler Fu nodded and turned to leave.
A moment later, a clear voice rang out. Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw a graceful figure rushing in.
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, Mu Qingcheng's delicate hand reached out and touched his forehead, her face filled with anxious concern.
"Jiang Cheng, are you alright? Where do you feel unwell? Let me see."
A Long, who was stunned by the side, naturally turned around, pretending he hadn't seen anything.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Jiang Cheng grabbed Mu Qingcheng's hand and quickly moved back several paces.
"What are you doing? Bursting into my house in broad daylight, this is trespassing! And you're trying to take liberties with me, that's illegal, you know?"
Mu Qingcheng was taken aback by Jiang Cheng's words, her eyes reddened, and she choked out, "I was just worried about you."
Listen to this! Is this something a person would say?
Jiang Cheng inwardly complained, Why aren't you looking for your Male Lead? Why are you coming all this way to care about me, a Villain? Does that make any sense?
"Butler Fu said you were sick, so I wanted to come in and check on you."
Right! Where's Butler Fu?
Didn't he say he'd find an excuse to get Mu Qingcheng to leave? How did she get in?
Did he send her the wrong way?
Jiang Cheng looked around but couldn't even see a shadow of Butler Fu...
