Chapter 147





Ye Rong\'s face was filled with doubt, "Then why did he help you?"


Jiang Xiu smiled coldly, "To show off their strength, why else?"


Ye Rong somewhat believed it, thinking that perhaps that person liked the place and wasn\'t willing to anyone create trouble here. She believed he must have warned Jiang Xiu first then sent those people away. "You\'re too impulsive. There are many people in the club. All you needed to do was ignore him. Why did you slap him?"


"I can\'t do much of other stuff, but I can fight pretty well."


Ye Rong rolled her eyes at him. Her heart wavered. Jiang Xiu was really cool just now when he slapped that man. Her heart skipped a beat, not due to fear, but rather because he was too cool. Only, it was a pity that his family wasn\'t well-off.


She carefully observed his clothes. Some wealthy young masters deliberately acted low-key, but their clothes made them. They couldn\'t bear wearing clothing of a different quality, so they especially order-make good clothes which look low-grade but are actually handiworks which cost pretty high. However, Jiang Xiu\'s clothing was pretty normal.


"If you act so barbarous, whoever becomes your girlfriend will always be worried. With your fiery character, she would have to make several trips to the police station to get you out."


Sadness flashed through Jiang Xiu\'s eyes. In the previous timeline, he had got into fights several times and got taken to the police station so he could torment Cheng Lingran. The protection fee and compensation fee altogether added up to over a thousand bucks. Cheng Lingran somehow gathered that amount with great difficulty yet never blamed him.


She used her gentleness to heal Jiang Xiu\'s hatred as well as his injured mind.


Ye Rong shook her head after seeing that Jiang Xiu was ignoring her and drinking the wine. She felt that this man had another shortcoming, which was that he was too boring and couldn\'t amuse a girl. It\'d be quite dull to get together with him.


She stood up, "I\'m going to dance, are you coming?"


"No!"


The entire inner dance hall of the nightclub boomed with heavy metal music, and it was difficult to hear anything from outside. Zheng Lun and Liu Lili hadn\'t even taken notice of the things which had happened here. When Liu Lili saw Ye Rong return alone, she asked, "How did it go?"


Ye Rong shook her head and began to dance along with the music. After a moment, she looked towards that seat again, but Jiang Xiu had already left.


After leaving the nightclub, the outside road was very quiet. Jiang Xiu stopped a cab and got in, "To Chaohai District\'s Civil Administration Office."



The night view of the Imperial Capital was indeed splendid. The vehicles passing along the road flickered with a fascinating neon light. This city had brought a lot of pain to him. Only this quiet door of the civil administration office which was tightly shut had brought him consolation for the first time ever. In the previous timeline, when Jiang Xiu had told Cheng Lingran that her affection was fake, Cheng Lingran brought him to this place.


As he sat in front of the office, he felt like as if that scene had occurred just yesterday.


From her actions, he had guessed that she must have known about Cheng Hanlin\'s deeds. Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingsu were 5 years old then, but Cheng Lingran was already 7 years old. A 7-year-old child could understand a lot. Later on, Jiang Yi had a bizarre accident, then took his life and Lin Yueling followed after him. Cheng Lingran understood that the Cheng family had ruined Jiang Xiu\'s family. That\'s why she wished to give him a family, so she buried her life together with his.


In this life, he had already settled the grievances with the Cheng family.


There\'s no need for you to receive my persecution.


Actually, Jiang Xiu believed that there was no need for Cheng Lingran to atone for Cheng Hanlin, Sun Xiaohong and Cheng Lingsu\'s debts in the previous timeline. She didn\'t need to suffer hardships while they lived an easy life. Only, by the time he had realized this, he already couldn\'t separate from her. That\'s why he selfishly continued to torment her and even persecuted himself at times to keep her at his side.


"What do you want in this life?"


"This Deity can give you the entire world."


A black car slowly came along the path at this moment. Jiang Xiu raised his head to see who it was. Secretary Ye got down the car after it stopped before him, "Looks like you\'re in a good mood since you are sitting alone in the middle of the street."


He walked over towards Jiang Xiu.


"Aren\'t you feeling quite conflicted to make a choice?"


Jiang Xiu laughed, "You believe I will change my decision and return to the Jiang family?"


"Why not?"


Secretary Ye continued, "Many people wish to become Jiang Yishan\'s grandson, they wish to become a young master of the Imperial Capital. Just a word from such a position will make others piss in their pants. It has that much prestige." He sat down beside Jiang Xiu.


"You must think you have a lot of prestige as you are Jiang Yishan\'s secretary."


Secretary Ye\'s face became somewhat awkward after hearing this. If he didn\'t agree, the words he just said would become futile and if agreed, it would leave him no face. "It\'s somewhat okay."


Jiang Xiu revealed a cold expression, "If I return to the Jiang family, the first thing I would do is make that old man throw you out."


"Get lost from my sight. I\'ll break your legs if you appear before me again."


Secretary Ye\'s face became ashen. He wasn\'t expecting Jiang Xiu to become hostile so soon.


"You…"


As the secretary of Jiang Yishan, even the big officials from the border region were polite to him. He never though a naïve child would humiliate him like this.


"Jiang Xiu, I hope you won\'t regret this."


Secretary Ye showed a vicious look on his face, "Do you think you are amazing just because Jiang Yi is the Party Secretary of a County-level city? Let me remind you that you won\'t end up well if you go against the Old Father, no one can resist him, especially you as you are a grandson of the Jiang family."


He swung his sleeve sideways with anger and then left.


"Hah!"


Jiang Xiu knew what would await him if he returned to the Jiang family. He had only seen Jiang Yishan once in the previous timeline. He didn\'t even have the qualifications to greet him during festivities like the Chinese New Year and the like to wish long life and was locked inside his room, barred from seeing anyone. He suffered through a lot of taunts from his cousins, and his only use was to complete that engagement with Nangong Kou\'er so the Nangong family could unite with the Jiang family.


If he had guessed it right, the reason Secretary Ye was pestering him so much was that the Jiang family needed that engagement between him and Nangong Kou\'er.


This was also quite a coincidence.


In those days, as Jiang Yi had already left the family, they had made an engagement with a low-grade family, and the Nangong family was one. However, the world was really fickle. The Nangong family had developed extremely well over these past 20 years. Many of the Nangong family\'s children had shown exceptional talents in officialdom and grown so much that even the Jiang family needed to make a supreme effort to rope them in.


This gave much importance to the engagement between Jiang Xiu and Nangong Kou\'er.


Therefore, the Jiang family needed the chess piece called Jiang Xiu very much.


In this life, he had met Nangong Kou\'er earlier. This was quite a coincidence, as he got acquainted with her due to the Ferrari incident then got introduced to Qin Weiping and even got involved with the Wang family.


If he remembered it right, she told him to call her if he ever came to the Imperial Capital.


Jiang Xiu had a good impression towards this girl. However, since the Jiang family wished for him to get together with Nangong Kou\'er, he naturally wouldn\'t go provoke Nangong Kou\'er lest they have the wrong impression and Jiang Yishan benefited from it.


His phone started ringing. It was a call from Zheng Lun, "Hey bro, where did you go?"


"I went out to breathe some air."


"Ye Rong said you provoked some people, so I thought something happened to you. It\'s all ok if you\'re fine. It\'s a bit difficult to chase Ye Rong, but it doesn\'t matter, there\'s no need for you to be discouraged. There are plenty more fish in the sea."


Zheng Lun felt it was waste. He was planning to associate together with Jiang Xiu from now so they could go out and have fun, but it seemed like it was quite difficult to form this group.


"Where are you right now? We are also about to return. The dorm gates close at 10 PM."


"I\'m quite far right now. Why don\'t you return first? I\'ll take a cab back."


"Okay!"


After hanging the call, he checked his messages, but Cheng Lingran hadn\'t sent any. She too should have returned to her dorm by now or else the dorm gates would close, and she would have to book a room outside to spend the night. According to her nature, she wouldn\'t let something like this happen.


Jiang Xiu hesitated a bit and decided not to call her in the end.
