Chapter 364

Jiang Cheng admits his mistakes every time, and he does so especially quickly.

He apologizes right away.

Su Manyao originally had a surge of anger in her heart.

He originally wanted to give Jiang Cheng a stern lesson, mainly because he felt Jiang Cheng's behavior was excessive—how could there be someone like him!

As soon as he arrived, before he could say two or three sentences, Jiang Cheng's attitude was to apologize properly right in front of him.

His words stuck in his throat, and those reproaches suddenly seemed impossible to utter.

Su Manyao clearly had anger in her heart, but Jiang Cheng's behavior forced her to suppress that fire a little.

Chen Lao thought highly of Jiang Cheng; watching Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao interact, this old man with a cane walked up to Su Manyao, looking at her with affection: "This kid, could he be the one you mentioned?" Chen Lao already admired Jiang Cheng, and upon learning that Su Manyao's partner was Jiang Cheng, his smile could not be contained.

The more he looked, the happier he felt.

No wonder he found Jiang Cheng pleasing to the eye before—there must be a reason!

Su Manyao then turned around: "Grandpa Chen, today's events are thanks to you!"

If you hadn't told me you were here, I might not have known that this guy was actually doing all those things behind my back!

This guy clearly treats me like a fool! Otherwise, could he pull off these things? Su Manyao glared at Jiang Cheng with resentment, feeling he was going too far.

Chen Lao chuckled: "Alright, let's not mention those unpleasant things; the urgent matter is for us to sit down and talk properly about his situation."

I...

Su Manyao was about to refuse when the old man called Grandpa Chen took her arm and led her aside.

Jiang Cheng finally realized that although he had hidden the matter deeply, Su Manyao still ended up knowing the reason.

It turned out—

It was because of Chen Lao!

Jiang Cheng's face turned ashen.

Had he known earlier, he should have been more careful.

Is it all right now?

In the end, Jiang Cheng was simply digging a pit for himself every day.

He let out a deep sigh.

Su Manyao's resentful gaze also fiercely glared at him.

It seemed like a warning to Jiang Cheng: after he finishes dealing with Grandpa Chen's matter, he will certainly not let him off on this side!

Jiang Cheng felt as if granted a pardon.

His guilty glance drifted sideways.

Those in front of him are all elders.

Seeing Su Manyao and Jiang Cheng's interaction, they were immensely relieved. However, they also came to know one thing.

Jiang Cheng is henpecked!

Being henpecked is good—he knows how to cherish his wife.

Jiang Cheng's ability is also strong!

Together, these two traits make them appreciate him more and more.

Originally, they thought Jiang Cheng was not bad. They had wanted to cooperate with him multiple times before; although they later learned he was with Su Manyao, they continued observing his attitude toward her.

Who would have thought—

Jiang Cheng's attitude toward Su Manyao completely exceeded their expectations!

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that someone not even present would actually dare to come and save him!

It seems they love the house and thus the crow—saving him for Su Manyao's sake!

Jiang Cheng initially wondered why this person suddenly came to help him; in his impression, he had never seen Chen Lao before.

Logically, the two should have had no connection.

Yet Chen Lao stepped forward and even opposed the other party; it turned out the reason was his relationship with Su Manyao.

Only then did Chen Lao reveal his identity.

"I have always admired you; I had wanted to meet you before. Unfortunately, we both have many matters, so this idea kept getting postponed again and again."

"I didn't expect to hear about your matter so soon, and I thought, if I could help, I'd lend a hand—after all, you're a young man and his partner; as an elder, how could I stand by and watch?"

"But you, kid, are even more composed and calm than I imagined. With a knife at your throat, you still dare to oppose him—your courage is truly impressive!"

Sun Guangqi's status makes many people feel wary.

In a crowd, often no one dares to oppose Sun Guangqi; who isn't respectful toward him? Who would dare provoke him?

Before, it could be said that there were hardly any!

Those few appearing before us are also one out of a hundred.

The rest merely flatter and fawn over him.

!

As for this young man Jiang Cheng, he refuses to yield; he has always bravely been himself, striving to become stronger.

With such excellent qualities, Chen Lao appreciates him more and more.

Chen Lao praised, "Your judgment has been good since childhood; I never worried you'd misjudge people. It was good before, but now your eyesight is clearly better than before!"

While Chen Lao praised, he also nodded repeatedly.

His unreserved admiration fell straight upon Jiang Cheng; he stood before Jiang Cheng, nodding again and again.

He was praising him right in front of Su Manyao!

Jiang Cheng was almost bursting with pride.

Jiang Cheng slightly lifted his chin, very satisfied, saying: "Thank you, Grandpa Chen, for your recognition; I will persevere and absolutely not compromise like those evil forces."

But how come you never told me that you also know this senior in front of me?

Jiang Cheng turned his head with a lingering gaze, looking at Jiang Cheng with a resentful expression.

He actually didn't tell himself!?

Su Manyao glanced at him and quietly said: "There's still a lot you don't know. How about this—now I have to tell you, one by one, to your face!"

Seeing Su Manyao's somewhat fierce aura, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to rashly go up and provoke her.

Jiang Cheng promptly shut his mouth.

He who knows the times is a talented person.

He said: "Whatever you say goes. And me—I'm just asking for a beating; I shouldn't have said more, right?" Jiang Cheng was obsequious, his attitude toward Su Manyao utterly sincere.

This made Su Manyao want to get angry, but she didn't know how.

Su Manyao: "……"

He was clearly holding his breath in his chest.

But Jiang Cheng's attitude, plus when he arrived, Grandfather Chen had already explained the whole situation to him.

He really wasn't that angry.

He just thought: Jiang Cheng's situation back then was so special; if something had happened to him, or if he'd met with an accident, what would he do then?

Such thoughts and ideas kept turning over in his mind.

It was as if it had left a psychological shadow on him, instantly putting him under immense pressure and making his mood a bit worse!

"Alright, the most important thing for us right now is dealing with Sun Guangqi. What do you think?" (End of chapter)
