Chapter 264: A Troublesome Woman

"My chest hurts!" Jiang Cheng clutched his chest, his face scrunched, "You just punched me—I feel like my heart also went wrong."

"What?"

Su Manyao heard it and instantly became extremely nervous.

"You mustn't scare me like that!"

Su Manyao's face turned slightly pale, a little panicked.

He fumbled about, anxiously wanting to take Jiang Cheng for a checkup.

But Jiang Cheng suddenly grabbed him.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Cheng smiled at the corner of his mouth.

He was extremely gentle; Jiang Cheng's behavior left Su Manyao stunned for a second.

In an instant, she knew this guy was fooling her.

Just now, her heart had jumped to her throat; Su Manyao thought something really had happened!

It really scared him.

As a result——

Turns out Jiang Cheng was the one fooling him?

When Su Manyao got angry, he gave a little push!

"Are you being too much?" Su Manyao glared at him: "I was so worried about you just now, and you ended up fooling me?"

"I see you, this guy really is getting more and more deserving of a beating!"

Su Manyao suddenly felt her temper flare; just now she was worried about him, now she wants to beat him up!

Jiang Cheng felt a bit embarrassed.

Cough cough.

"Wasn't I just trying to soothe you because you were so nervous? Who would have thought—" Jiang Cheng's eyes smiled, "Who would have thought you'd be so easily fooled by me?"

"You're really cute."

Jiang Cheng's eyes held a smile, his gaze gentle.

He looked at his eyes, carrying a hint of gentle light.

At that time.

It was his overly gentle gaze that instantly made Su Manyao's cheeks flush.

He lowered his eyelids, full of bashfulness.

Cough cough!

One has to say, Jiang Cheng's gaze—

Looking at him made his heart bloom with joy!

In that moment, he was deeply drawn in, unable to help immersing himself.

The two walked hand in hand slowly around the campus.

They felt deeply moved.

Think back, when Jiang Cheng hadn't graduated yet, the two of them wouldn't dare act so openly.

After graduation, they dared to walk hand in hand on campus.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help feeling nostalgic for those wonderful times.

"Remember our first meeting? I thought I was dreaming back then—who would have guessed the person I was supposed to meet would be you!"

That time, Jiang Cheng kept thinking he was dreaming; he simply couldn't believe it.

His whole self felt light and airy.

Feeling—

A blessing from heaven!

And he, logically, shouldn't have been that lucky.

Yet, a pile of good things all came his way.

Su Manyao's lips curled into a faint smile.

Jiang Cheng's words also made him recall the scene of their first meeting.

He never imagined the person he met would be several years younger than him.

The key was that he was his younger brother's classmate?

At that moment, he only felt his head buzzing.

He felt he had gone too far, actually laying hands on a kid.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was mature and charming.

Later, he was completely attracted!

His gaze kept unintentionally lingering on Jiang Cheng afterward. Although he thought Jiang Cheng was still young at the time, the other was so adorable that it actually drew him in deeply; he indeed had some thoughts about him then.

But most importantly, their subsequent development went smoothly!

When they talked about that past thing, Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao couldn't help exchanging a smile. If they weren't an online romance, then they now—

Would they like each other?

Su Manyao's answer was that this matter was somewhat mysterious.

He knew Jiang Cheng was younger than him, so naturally he didn't dare entertain such thoughts.

Once such thoughts are suppressed, who would dare act recklessly?

All we can say is that the two of them are destined!

Because it was fate, they were destined to be entangled with each other for their whole lives. Afterwards, all kinds of opportunities simply pushed the two of them together!

"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite grateful that we chose online dating back then; otherwise, I really think our chances of being together would have been low." Jiang Cheng's words are not false.

One is someone he dare not even fantasize about.

Coincidentally, she is the sister of his own brother.

Even if he had the thought, he wouldn't dare to bravely take that step.

The other feels like his younger brother's brother—if he really developed feelings, that would be going too far!

Even if they both had feelings for each other, they probably wouldn't dare to pierce that layer.

!

This means——

Even if they like each other, they can only endure it.

How could they possibly be like this now?

Walking around school holding each other's hands tightly?

It's a pity that good times always pass so easily.

At this moment.

Jiang Cheng had to return to the company to handle matters.

He had a pile of troubles to sort out.

Especially recently, the company was preparing to sign several capable singers.

Their voices are all good.

Before that, he needed to properly deal with some troubles.

In Jiang Cheng's eyes, a sharp light flashed instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "I just don't know if we'll be able to sign the contract smoothly this time!"

Jiang Cheng expressed doubt.

Jiang Cheng's words instantly left Su Manyao, who was standing before him, completely bewildered.

"What do you mean?" Su Manyao pondered, unable to figure it out: "Could it be that another problem has arisen?"

"It's not exactly a problem!"

"What is it?"

"The other party's mother is hard to deal with. That person has a very violent temper, often scolding people for no reason, making it seem as if everyone owes him several million."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes for a moment.

"Anything else?"

"Besides that, he said the other party's salary must be deposited into his card every month; otherwise, he won't allow his daughter to sign with us."

Ha?

Upon hearing this, Su Manyao figured out the whole story.

In other words, the other party is being greedy beyond measure!

But the other party's daughter refuses to give that money to her mother, no matter what.

The two are locked in an argument!

This indirectly caused the matter to never be properly discussed.

Although Jiang Cheng wanted to sign the other party, regarding his mother's situation, it's indeed not easy to talk about!

If the other party disagrees, it means there's no room for negotiation at all. And since Jiang Cheng especially likes the other party's voice, it's giving him a headache; he's still trying to figure out how to handle this situation.

Jiang Cheng let out a sigh.

"Although I really want to sign him, his mother's matter is indeed difficult to handle."

"I'm torn—should I agree or refuse?" Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin.

"If the other party's mother is somewhat difficult, I advise you to just give up!"

Su Manyao spoke frankly, he made it clear.

"You must remember, having such a difficult mother, he will definitely never be able to get rid of the other party in the future; once he cannot smoothly shake off the other party, it means your entanglement will be one thing after another!" (End of chapter)
