Chapter 64

After Su's dad and Su's mom watched Jiang Cheng and them leave, they also got into the car.

After getting in the car, Su's mom hastily grabbed her husband's hand and said, "Quickly think, think of a way to let Manyao come home; I need to talk to her—how could they elope? It's completely unnecessary!"

Su's mom was anxious; she was happy that Jiang Cheng and her daughter got along well, but it wasn't necessary to elope just because of that!

Su's dad is good at business, but he truly doesn't understand this romantic entanglement between children, and he never said he disagreed with his daughter being with Jiang Cheng!

The main issue is that their daughter never told them she was with Jiang Cheng!

"I would have objected if I had the chance, but how did we just chat and end up talking about eloping?" Su's dad thought and said, "You know Manyao's personality—she won't come back; what can you do to force her?"

Su's dad sighed and shook his head, wanting to scratch his head.

"Huh!" Su's mom said, "I have an idea—if she won't come to us, we can go to her place to find her!"

Su's dad hesitated and said, "If we go to her place without her consent, will she be very angry?"

Su's mom was unhappy and said, "Compared to her eloping, which would you choose—her being angry?"

Su's dad took a deep breath, as if making a decision: "Then let's go to her place tomorrow night!"

The couple happily made that decision, planning to raid Su Manyao's home tomorrow night! …

After leaving Yongligongyequ, Jiang Cheng felt a bit dazed.

Chu Siqi was even more dazed! She brought the boss to look at the company site!

The site was indeed secured, and it's free for three years, with someone helping with renovations—just move in directly!

It felt like a dream! Jiang Cheng couldn't make sense of it, so he attributed it to good deeds being rewarded.

However, when he saved the little girl, he truly hadn't thought about what kind of repayment he'd receive.

On the way back, Jiang Cheng and Chu Siqi discussed wages, finally agreeing on a base salary of 4,500, with additional pay based on workload and company profits if performance is good.

Hiring a top talent from Modu Daxue for 4,500, Jiang Cheng was still quite satisfied.

After arriving at school, the two parted ways! However, Chu Siqi's gaze toward Jiang Cheng had shifted from initial curiosity to some admiration.

Jiang Cheng returned to the dorm alone, and on the way he received a message from Yujie.

For some reason, Yujie invited him to a movie; along with the message came a photo showing two movie tickets, scheduled for tomorrow night.

Jiang Cheng deliberately checked the address on the movie ticket—this time it wasn't a private cinema, but indeed a screening hall of a large theater! If it were a private cinema, he'd have to seriously consider whether Yujie was hinting at something.

However, Jiang Cheng didn't consider the time on the ticket; if he watched the movie to the end according to that time, he basically wouldn't be able to return to the dorm! …

Evening.

In one office of Light Grace Entertainment, the decor is luxurious and the space spacious; just the dressing table alone occupies an entire row in the middle, and a large mirror lights up the whole room.

Inside the glass cabinet against the left wall are various brand-name bags and jewelry.

This is Zhang Anqi's office.

She is wearing a black-and-white skirt today, her soft hair styled in a slight wave, looking very natural.

At this moment she sits before the huge mirror, applying lip gloss.

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and the assistant rushed in! "There's news, Sister Anqi—there's news!"

Zhang Anqi furrowed her brows and glanced at the assistant.

Her outfit today looks somewhat aloof, embodying the Yujie style; her icy gaze made the assistant shudder.

"What's the panic, with no decorum at all!" the assistant stammered, then carefully said, "Sister Anqi, the Mr. Jiang you asked me to monitor has news—he's currently at a night market with his classmates!"

"Mr. Jiang?!"

Having just leaned over to stand up, she said, "Where and with whom?"

Ye Qing was expelled, which she knows; as for the reason, he believes it's definitely related to the song he took from Ye Qing, but she doesn't care what the exact connection is!

What she cares about is that after obtaining that song, Mr. Jiang refused to cooperate—including not allowing her to perform that song—and then Ye Qing was expelled.

Therefore, these past few days he's still keeping an eye on the expelled coconut green, and Modu Daxue has also buried someone—he keeps watching Mr. Jiang's movements at all times!

During the day someone reported that Mr. Jiang went to Yongligongyequ, but she had no time during the day, so she didn't go look for Jiang Cheng.

Of course, now there's news about Jiang Cheng again!

Seeing Zhang Anqi tense because of the news about Jiang Cheng, the assistant hastily said, "They're at the night market, not far from us—about a 20‑minute drive. They're probably out with their roommates for a late‑night snack, and there's no one else around."

"Hurry up and get the car ready—we're leaving!"

Zhang Anqi picked up her baby and walked out.

"All right, I'll call the driver now!" the assistant said while making the call and running after Zhang Anqi, merely watching her stride forward in high heels and thinking to herself.

Truly enviable, those long legs!

…

On Jiang Cheng's side, he was indeed at the night market, having been dragged there by Su Peng.

Because during the team‑building event, Su Peng had promised to treat him to a big meal.

Actually, this was originally just to dispel Su Peng's suspicion that he was trying to get close to his sister, but Su Peng took it seriously—after resting yesterday, today he dragged Jiang Cheng out for a late‑night snack.

Jiang Cheng had originally been unwilling, and going out today had already tired him, but Su Peng said the dorm mates hadn't gathered in a while, with Liu Tao and Deng Qi also clamoring for a get‑together, so the group headed out.

"Tonight we must drink until we're drunk and not go home—all four of us are here. You say how long it's been since we last gathered; tonight whoever doesn't drink will get beaten up by the other three!"

Just as they arrived at the night market, sat down and ordered, Su Peng started shouting.

The northwestern guy Liu Tao shouted, "Come on, who's afraid of whom?"

"Come on, whoever doesn't drink is a dog!" and he also joined in shouting.

Then Su Peng looked at Jiang Cheng and then at the other two roommates and said, "Come to think of it, are we missing something? You all have girlfriends, right? Call them out!"

Liu Tao was the first to speak: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a girlfriend."

Hiss— I hear your words, they're not right. Su Peng glared at him resentfully and said: "How come it seems like having a girlfriend is something embarrassing for you?"

"I never had one!" Liu Tao continued to refute.

What about your childhood sweetheart? In this situation, you wouldn't call him out, wait until you're drunk and then you two go home together—wouldn't that settle things?

"She she has no time to stay!" Liu Tao said.

Su Peng looked at him with disdain and said, "Kid, you can't be saved!"

Then he turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng: "Old Jiang, aren't you together with the class monitor from the Music Department? Where's your girlfriend? Shout her out too!"
