Chapter 375: What are you pretending?

"Wanting to completely overthrow him is a difficult problem." Jiang Cheng's hand stroked his chin, his gaze lingering faintly on Su Manyao.

Su Manyao came to her senses, "You're right, wanting to overthrow Sun Guangqi is indeed not an easy matter." Su Manyao, with her brows slightly furrowed, her expression also tightened accordingly; just like that, she looked somewhat anxious.

Although they had cooperated with those big shots, in the matter of Sun Guangqi, it was ultimately not a simple matter.

Everyone had made it clear, but—

That guy's power under his command is a bit too strong!

Su Manyao, realizing this, reached out and unconsciously gripped Jiang Cheng's palm: "That means our future will have a big battle imminent, and these are still full of various unknowns."

"You say, if the methods we discussed this time aren't completely sufficient, then in the end... will we possibly end up like others, extremely likely to suffer a crushing defeat at his hands?"

"If that's the case, what do you suggest we do?"

Su Manyao's worries grew more and more.

Possibly because she thought too much, her pressure kept piling up.

Seeing Su Manyao's anxious expression, Jiang Cheng immediately comforted her: "Alright, don't dwell on these nonsense matters; originally coming to your house was supposed to be a happy thing, how come you're still feeling down with me?"

Jiang Cheng laughed.

The reason he had been pondering this problem just now was because Su Manyao's father had told him some things.

For example, the other party's personality.

And other various things.

Anyway, there are quite a few problems.

Only then did Jiang Cheng suddenly become entangled in these matters.

Jiang Cheng naturally hoped to speed up the resolution of these problems.

However—

Nor did he expect that Su Manyao would actually participate in this, and moreover be so worried, dwelling on these nonsense matters.

Ripples instantly appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

His gaze toward Su Manyao gradually softened, mixed with too much tenderness.

"Isn't it because I want to follow you?"

"It's impossible to just let you bear these problems alone, right? And I will definitely have to think of a solution and then properly handle these." Jiang Cheng had always been carefully studying the problem, including now, with a solemn expression.

Su Manyao was the same.

"Isn't it because I told you before, we are people on the same rope. From our choosing to be together and to deal with Sun Guangqi, we actually have no room for choice."

"Including now, we still ought to be more cautious!"

Su Manyao gave an especially solemn reminder.

Word by word, he spoke so seriously.

One could also see that he was now indeed extremely rigorous.

At that time.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Alright!"

"However, we're still at your house, so let's not keep obsessing over these problems. We should stay with your parents, and you need to communicate well with them."

Su Manyao had been intelligent since childhood.

She never needed her parents to worry, no matter what she did.

That's because Su Manyao had been especially intelligent since childhood, so whatever she did, she was far ahead.

Including later.

Actually, Su Manyao had become independent long ago!

Therefore—

Su Manyao's parents communicated relatively little with her.

Look, seeing their daughter return, as parents, their gaze toward her was mixed with an excess of extreme tenderness.

They seemed very eager to have a good chat with their daughter.

Jiang Cheng said: "I can see that your parents really want to have a good talk with you. This opportunity is also rare; I hope you can stay in good contact with your parents instead of focusing too much attention on this matter of mine. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes were bright.

Jiang Cheng, speaking word by word, was also reminding Su Manyao.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Su Manyao slightly nodded: "Of course I understand what you're saying, but you don't need to worry about this matter; as for me now, I am indeed keeping in good contact with my parents."

"My parents also know that the most urgent thing right now is dealing with Sun Guangqi."

Just as the two were discussing.

Su Peng came over.

This guy, as if he doesn't care about people's faces, as soon as he arrived, he sat right between Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao.

!

"What are you two whispering mysteriously about?"

"Especially you, Jiang Cheng; before, in front of me, you were arrogantly overbearing. How did you suddenly become so obedient today? You wouldn't be trying to put on an act in front of my parents, would you?"

Su Peng stared fixedly at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng fell silent instantly.

He really couldn't hold back, giving Su Peng a white-eye: "What kind of person am I? I suppose your parents have already investigated my background; they must already know my character inside out, right?"

"Even if they haven't investigated those online matters, they'd inevitably pay some attention; you say, do I really need to pretend?" Jiang Cheng glanced lightly at the person before him, asking with a careful expression.

The other party: "……"

Su Peng suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Cheng's words actually make some sense.

"Although that's what you said, but what are you two sneaking around here doing? Since you two got together, I feel like you're hiding a lot from me."

The more Su Peng thought about it, the unhappier he felt.

His mood instantly turned gloomy!

He was clearly happy before, but now—

He inexplicably felt a little anxious?

Ah!

With a sigh, Su Peng's face was full of worry.

His mood also turned extremely bad at that moment.

Jiang Cheng's gaze lightly fell on him: "What are you pretending in front of me?"

Jiang Cheng looked at him, utterly speechless.

How could Jiang Cheng not know what Su Peng is?

This guy, he's actually quite good at putting on an act in front of him now!

Instantly exposed, Su Peng felt a bit defenseless.

He felt helpless.

"Look at what you're saying now!" he said, face full of discontent, his mood very puzzled.

Jiang Cheng said: "How long have we known each other? What are you, you wouldn't really think I don't know, would you?"

Four years of university life, they've basically been together all the time.

Except for the occasional times Jiang Cheng had to work or go on a date with Su Manyao, they could basically be said to eat and sleep together!

As a result, this guy is pulling this trick in front of Jiang Cheng?

Jiang Cheng's gaze lightly fell on him, looking a bit disdainful: "I'm telling you, with your little tricks, in my eyes they're all petty nonsense—so don't pull this act in front of me!"

"You're still pulling this trick, you guy?" (End of chapter)
