Chapter 367: Otherwise, you could marry into the family

Jiang Cheng's head kept nodding.

"I know!"

Jiang Cheng, looking solemn, said: "Your reprimand is especially reasonable; this time, I truly failed to recognize Mount Tai, daring to overlook you!"

"What I did this time really deserves a beating! Scold me however you want, I'll accept it silently." Jiang Cheng said earnestly, with a straight face.

Su Manyao looked at the articulate Jiang Cheng, her eyes glaring fiercely.

"You guy, your mouth is really sharp!"

"In other words, you actually dared to deceive me; you really made me feel heartbroken!"

Su Manyao was indeed heartbroken.

It was only that he was hurt before, but now he isn't that hurt.

Everyone gathered to discuss how to deal with Hashiqi, and his mood actually improved quite a bit.

But he insisted on putting on an act in front of Jiang Cheng.

Acting as if he felt wronged.

Indeed.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng felt increasingly guilty!

The more he looked, the more he felt sorry toward Su Manyao.

He really shouldn't have lied, nor concealed things from Su Manyao.

Su Manyao only said a few words, and afterwards Jiang Cheng didn't keep pursuing the issue.

The two returned.

However, Jiang Cheng was pondering a question.

"How did you get to know them?"

During Su Manyao's interaction with them, it was clearly as if they had known each other for many years. But he had never heard Su Manyao mention them before in his presence.

"Ah?"

Su Manyao's thoughts gradually turned.

He heard Jiang Cheng's questioning words, then explained: "Our family is basically in business, and our assets are a bit more."

"These uncles and aunts are people we met through our family's business."

"However, they are involved in a broader range, and they also engage in the entertainment industry." Su Manyao said slowly, word by word.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng finally understood what was going on.

No wonder, as soon as they entered, Jiang Cheng noticed the atmosphere was noticeably different.

Those people's looks at Su Manyao were mixed with admiration.

Besides Chen Lao, everyone else treated Su Manyao with respect; the reason lay here.

Jiang Cheng finally understood.

"I didn't know your family actually had this other status," Jiang Cheng said, the corner of his mouth twitching as he glanced lightly at Su Manyao.

Su Manyao shrugged: "You know, I never intended to deceive you; besides, you didn't ask, so I naturally didn't say anything."

Jiang Cheng: '...'

Strangely, he felt as if he had been deceived, yet also as if he hadn't been.

He fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Cheng looked at him.

Su Manyao inexplicably felt guilty, like a thief.

He felt a bit embarrassed: 'What's wrong? Do you think I deceived you?' Su Manyao asked curiously. The main point is... indeed, Jiang Cheng had never asked about it before; seeing that Jiang Cheng never brought it up, he never directly revealed his identity. Who would have thought that today it would just happen to be exposed?

Su Manyao walked up to Jiang Cheng, took his hand, and said with a beaming smile: "You know, I've never deceived you!"

The two of them have indeed never deceived each other.

Of course.

Jiang Cheng is also never the type to nitpick.

"I never imagined your status would be far beyond what I thought!" Jiang Cheng praised, saying: "Does that mean I could marry into your family in the future?"

"After marrying into your family, I could even enjoy all sorts of carefree, prosperous days?" Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up, a little excited as he asked.

Su Manyao fell silent for a moment, hardly believing the words that came out of Jiang Cheng's mouth.

"You… are you sure?" Su Manyao's eyes lit up: "My father had considered transferring most of the family's assets to my name, with my brother only inheriting a tiny share! So… my father indeed wanted me to find someone willing to marry into our family."

"If you say that, I'll immediately tell my father about this; I think he'll definitely be pleased."

Su Manyao said this with a completely serious expression.

!

Jiang Cheng fell silent for a moment.

He had actually just been joking intentionally; he didn't expect Su Manyao to take it seriously.

Jiang Cheng firmly refused: "I'm a man after all, I have my own abilities—why must I marry into your family?" He said, not very happy: "As a man, I should rely on myself!"

"So, I ought to properly inquire for my future daughter!"

Jiang Cheng said this earnestly.

Hearing his words, Su Manyao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"What should we do with my family's company? Are we supposed to just transfer it away? Or let others inherit most of the assets?"

"Isn't there still your brother? I think your brother is capable; I believe he could definitely handle this job well!"

Jiang Cheng said this with a serious expression.

Although, the bait Su Manyao threw out was huge.

After all, Su Manyao's family company is quite capable!

If Jiang Cheng were willing to inherit, or marry into Su Manyao's family, he could easily bring all these assets under his control!

He could become the feared Jiang Cheng overnight.

Such an opportunity is rare!

However, Jiang Cheng refused without even thinking.

Jiang Cheng felt he wasn't mature enough yet and wanted to try harder.

He wanted to strive hard for a while longer!

When the time is right, Jiang Cheng marrying into the family would actually be no problem.

But given that Jiang Cheng himself isn't keen on it, it's obvious he would outright refuse to marry in now—and those two words don't even exist in his dictionary!

Su Manyao instantly understood Jiang Cheng's thoughts.

She had originally wanted to persuade Jiang Cheng properly, but after thinking, everyone has their own freedom, and she couldn't go too far!

Thus.

Su Manyao fell silent.

"I respect all your decisions—do as you wish. If you want to marry into the family, just let me know anytime, and I'll tell my father; when the time comes, you'll officially be married in. How does that sound?"

Su Manyao's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but look at Jiang Cheng with a bit of excitement.

She naturally hoped Jiang Cheng would figure it out soon.

After all, her father kept urging her to bring Jiang Cheng home as soon as possible!

She may want to, but she also has to support Jiang Cheng's wishes, right?

Besides, the matter concerning Hashiqi hasn't been resolved yet.

Since this issue remains unresolved, both she and Jiang Cheng feel it still can't be done! (End of chapter)
