Chapter 413

However—

Jiang Cheng, however, stretched out his hand and slapped his head hard.

His head was suddenly struck hard, his skull buzzing, momentarily dazed, and he was really a bit angry, saying, "I was being serious, yet you turned around and punched my head!"

"Act like a human!"

"Are you sick?" Su Peng, already in a state of extreme anxiety, had been worrying about his sister all along; this time, Jiang Cheng's behavior fiercely angered him.

He was extremely unconvinced, then stared fixedly at Jiang Cheng with his eyes, feeling that Jiang Cheng's actions were truly excessive.

At that time, Jiang Cheng was calm and composed.

Seeing his behavior and knowing he was angry, Jiang Cheng then soothed his emotions.

"Your sister's affairs—stop worrying needlessly. Besides, you should know that with your abilities, going up there would clearly just cause trouble for your sister. What you need to do now is be your sister's most loyal backing, silently protecting her; the rest, stop meddling!"

"Don't you know the current situation? You say if you mess around, and if anything sudden happens later and your sister really collapses, you can go help then. As for this side, I've made full preparations; if the other side dares to resist or slander, I'll crush this company completely!"

A dark light flickered in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

In just a fleeting moment, Su Peng clearly felt the chill emanating from Jiang Cheng's body.

Jiang Cheng daring to say such words means he is now resolute and confident.

He is not timid at all.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Su Peng froze completely, utterly incredulous at the scene. He clearly sensed Jiang Cheng's anger; perhaps it was the other side's dirty tactics that filled Jiang Cheng with rage?

So—

Seeing this, Su Peng involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He was a bit panicked.

Somewhat at a loss, he silently stepped back.

Seeing fear in his eyes, Jiang Cheng turned back, puzzled, and said, "Come on, we've known each other for years—don't you know what kind of person I am? Why are you still showing fear of me?" Just looking at him and seeing Su Peng's reaction left Jiang Cheng bewildered.

How long have these two been together? This guy actually dares to pull this stunt in front of him?

Su Peng, who had been called out, forced a smile.

"It's not because your aura was too strong just now? And I don't even have the Eleven-point method!"

"Seeing that scene just now, I was terrified, my body trembling involuntarily." He hurriedly explained, saying this with utmost sincerity.

Jiang Cheng replied with disdain, "Can't you have a bit more courage? Over a little thing, you get scared like this all the time!"

After all, you're a grown man—if word got out, wouldn't that lose you all face? Jiang Cheng glanced at him silently, feeling that this guy was simply making a fool of himself.

Su Peng burst into laughter.

"What's the big deal?"

"My ability may be lacking, but you and my sister are strong! You two are clearly a powerhouse duo; I reckon any kids you have in the future will be invincibly strong!"

"I believe your abilities will definitely work!"

He said this with a serious expression. Jiang Cheng, slightly silent in expectation, looked at him speechlessly. However, Jiang Cheng ended up saying nothing, just quietly glancing at him, too lazy to add another word.

After Su Peng adjusted his mood, his state remained puzzled.

He said, "I truly didn't expect that, seeing my sister's side going smoothly, suddenly a bunch of idiots would pop up and dare to oppose her." "Do you think these guys actually have brains?"

The bewildered Su Peng suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng, his inquiry earnest.

It's clear he is speaking from the heart in defending Su Manyao.

Jiang Cheng was unfazed.

"Isn't this kind of thing pretty normal? In the business world, wanting to get by is hardly simple. Indeed, this situation involves too many problems!"

"Besides, your sister has been working hard all these years; I advise you here to consider her a bit more—if you can help, it's best to lend a hand!"

"Otherwise, just relying on your sister alone, frankly, I think she's quite tired." Even if Su Manyao were even more capable, one shouldn't pin all hopes on her alone.

We must give Su Manyao a chance to rest, rather than letting her bear everything alone as now.

Su Peng felt deeply guilty, as if Jiang Cheng had awakened him, and he suddenly became clear-headed.

"I understand; from now on I'll properly engage with all aspects of the company. If I can manage, I'll work harder; if I can't… then I'll be my sister's most loyal backing behind the scenes, standing firmly by her side no matter what, never letting anyone bully her."

After this incident, Su Peng felt as if he had suddenly become much clearer.

!

Before, he perhaps still liked to throw tantrums, always acting carefree and indifferent.

But those are things of the past.

Now?

He has grown up; it's time he learned to share some of the burden!

Rather than placing all expectations on Su Manyao's shoulders, always hoping she'll help out.

"I know you're a smart person; I imagine you don't want to watch your sister busy all day, every day, to the point of exhaustion."

"If you can help share the burden, then do your best to help share it."

"Okay."

……

This time, Su Peng unusually did not retort.

He agreed.

For him, this incident remains vivid in his memory.

Those scenes keep replaying in his mind like a constant flashback, leaving a deep impression.

He cannot stand by and watch his sister suffer injustice; he truly wants to strive to help her.

Plus Jiang Cheng's reminder, this feels like a timely awakening; suddenly, he becomes completely clear-headed.

At that time.

Jiang Cheng saw his reaction, still quite satisfied, and nodded twice.

However, there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with properly.

Jiang Cheng did not waste most of his time chatting idly with him.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't discuss these with you." (End of chapter)
