Chapter 289: He's back!

Suddenly his ear was tugged, a faint pain spreading from it, Su Peng wanted to cry but had no tears.

He looked aggrieved.

His ear hurt from being pulled: "I was wrong!"

Su Peng apologized in time: "I spoke too fast, I couldn't control my mouth for a moment."

"Please forgive me!"

He was a lackey, asking for a beating.

Seeing he was being sensible, Su Manyao let go.

Su Manyao warned: "If you dare say that again, see if I dare to beat you next time!"

"You little brat, you're getting more and more arrogant!" Su Manyao glared at her younger brother.

Having learned from past mistakes, how could Su Peng dare do it again?

After Su Manyao released his ear, he quickly covered it, feeling his ear congested and burning hot.

"Cough, cough."

Su Peng, guilty as a thief: "Sorry, sis!"

"I promise to your face, there will never be a second time!"

"If there is ever a second time, I will have nowhere to die, and then..."

Before he could finish, Su Manyao reached out and covered her mouth.

"Shut up!"

"You little brat, why do you blurt out everything?"

Su Manyao frowned, looking at her foolish younger brother, words failing her.

This brat, how stupid can he be?

And—

How many times have I reminded him?

Tell him not to mess around, but this brat doesn't listen to a word, just causing chaos.

Though she was angry, Su Manyao couldn't let her foolish brother really curse herself, could she?

"Just shut up!"

Su Manyao, angry, pushed Jiang Cheng a little: "This brat, I feel a bit reluctant to punish him, but you discipline him—I want to see if he'll still dare be so arrogant afterward!"

Su Peng: "……"

The sky is falling!

He swallowed and said: "I really know I was wrong!"

"Please, reluctantly spare me this once."

He apologized.

With his sincere attitude, how could he dare say anything otherwise?

Throughout, his heart pounded with fear.

He forced a smile; Jiang Cheng saw it and immediately stayed by his side, saying all kinds of nice things.

"I see he truly knows his mistake; otherwise, I wouldn't reluctantly spare him," Jiang Cheng said, speaking kindly to persuade Su Manyao.

With Jiang Cheng around, Su Peng wasn't that miserable.

Besides, we came to celebrate, yet some brat kept causing trouble.

Other friends, seeing this, all tried not to laugh.

He deserved it.

Let him usually be arrogant, daring to say anything.

When he met Su Manyao, he panicked, and everything he wanted to say got swallowed back.

In front of his own sister, where would he dare to act out?

Once he acts out, it's unrecoverable!

"Alright, it's such a fine day worth celebrating; don't let this small matter ruin the mood." Jiang Cheng put his arm around Su Manyao's waist and led her to the dining table.

"Let's sit down together and enjoy a good meal!"

Su Manyao wondered in her heart.

Su Peng made amends.

With Jiang Cheng's soothing, Su Manyao soon calmed down.

"Fine, reluctantly I'll spare him this once! But if he dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being harsh—I definitely won't let him off easily."

"As for today, I'll give him a chance for your sake."

"Good!"

Jiang Cheng's affection was gentle as water.

He stepped forward and pulled Su Manyao into his embrace.

In his brows and eyes, he was extremely gentle.

Su Manyao gradually sank into it.

Being stared at by Jiang Cheng, his little face turned red.

Jiang Cheng's gaze was deep; seeing Su Manyao, he became even more gentle, soothing her with soft words.

The more Su Peng watched, the angrier he felt.

He was so angry his chest felt blocked by a clot of blood.

These two brats!

Su Peng clenched his fists tightly.

Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao have been together for so long; even if Jiang Cheng treats Su Manyao well, Su Peng always felt that his family's fine cabbage had been rooted up by a pig!

Jiang Cheng, this pig, is so infuriating!

He was huffing with anger.

Jiang Cheng provocatively looked at him.

Su Peng suddenly stood up; his temper was a bit off. Su Manyao gave him a look, restraining him.

He didn't dare speak.

The atmosphere gradually improved, and things gradually became interesting.

However—

An uninvited guest appeared before them.

It was him.

Huang Zhengming.

His appearance made the laughing, chatting group freeze their smiles instantly.

Everyone stared at him.

Huang Zhengming's face was ferocious; looking at their harmonious atmosphere, and then thinking of his tragic experiences, his emotions instantly collapsed.

"Why?"

!

He couldn't understand, feeling irritable.

"Why have things progressed step by step to this point?"

He muttered.

Despairing, he fixed his eyes on Jiang Cheng and muttered uncontrollably.

Jiang Cheng immediately sensed something was off.

This guy...

He pulled Su Peng: "You protect your sister; I'll see what's wrong with him."

"No!"

Su Peng refused: "Whatever it is, we'll bear it together."

He stared at the man ahead: "You can see his expression and actions are clearly problematic!"

"Only together will it work."

Su Peng observed carefully; the other's behavior indeed mixed with many problems.

With a vacant stare, he kept asking himself.

His emotions gradually collapsed.

He was desperate, on the verge of collapse.

He looked like he was about to go mad.

His behavior was too abnormal.

At that time.

Everyone felt something was off, so they became increasingly solemn.

Feeling that the other was on the verge of madness.

The next second.

He surged forward with a fierce aura, grabbing Jiang Cheng's clothes tightly.

He acted like a madman, frantically questioning.

"Why?"

"Tell me, why am I in such a sorry state? Why do I have nothing left?" His eyes bloodshot, he clung tightly to Jiang Cheng's clothes.

He kept pressing for an answer.

That twisted face made him look even more ferocious.

Jiang Cheng remained calm.

"Because you deserved it."

Jiang Cheng sneered at him: "You brought it on yourself."

"What? You can't accept it now?" Jiang Cheng scoffed, "What were you doing before?"

"What exactly are you pretending?" Jiang Cheng sneered.

Facing him, he remained calm, gradually exposing him.

The other's sole hope was completely destroyed overnight.

The answer he longed for was not granted.

Jiang Cheng reached out, gripping his clothes tightly: "Stop pretending!"

"Like this, who are you pretending for?"

"Shouldn't this be your own doing? Instead, you feel wronged here? Don't you think your behavior is ridiculous, making you look like trash?"

"Trash" spilling from his mouth, the other's mindset gradually twisted.

"Shut up!"

His emotions complex, voice booming: "I told you to shut up—did you hear?"

"If you keep talking, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Don't blame me if I kill you!"

His eyes bloodshot, opening and closing his mouth, all he says is that he just wants Jiang Cheng's life.

Jiang Cheng didn't panic.

He calmly faced the other party: "You wouldn't think that just by saying that, I'd be scared, would you?" Jiang Cheng let out a cold snort: "If you really dare to act, it means you'll spend the rest of your life in prison—are you willing?"

"Worried that you'll never amount to anything in your lifetime." (End of chapter)
