He was still very young, and his future was full of infinite possibilities.
Having experienced rebirth, possessing immense wealth and powerful abilities, he finally lived the life most people dreamed of.
Should he still be timid because of such a small matter?
The reason he went to find Xiao Xia in front of Chen Xueer just now was precisely for this reason.
Moreover, Chen Xueer's identity was very special, and Jiang Cheng didn't want to hide anything from her.
When it comes to vested interests, it's better for everyone to be straightforward.
As for the [Forgiveness Hat] card he obtained earlier, Jiang Cheng never even thought of using it on Chen Xueer.
Because there was really no need.
And there were some more suitable and complex situations where it needed to be used.
Jiang Cheng wanted Chen Xueer to see his true self, so there was no need to waste this card.
"Are all rich people like this?"
Chen Xueer looked at Jiang Cheng with a slightly puzzled gaze, seemingly wanting to find the answer on his face.
Seeing Chen Xueer continue to question him, Jiang Cheng thought seriously for a moment.
Does having money necessarily mean being unfaithful?
Wrong!
This is merely human nature, a nature that was originally constrained by a lack of ability and money.
But when you have money, you directly break free from this shackles.
Although each of the women around him truly cared for him, it was undeniable that their initial reason for wanting to be with him was based on money.
Money is just a tool; it's not inherently wrong.
What's wrong is human nature, human greed and desire.
In this realistic world, the power of money is immense.
It can easily break down barriers between people.
It can make other people's love instantly disappear.
It can also make someone who had no connection with you instantly fall in love with you.
"Although this has nothing to do with money, it seems to have a lot to do with it," Jiang Cheng slowly said. "As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Maintaining this relationship with them is not necessarily a bad thing for them."
Seeing Jiang Cheng's confident demeanor, Chen Xueer frowned and glanced at him: "Why is it a benefit for them?"
"Because they need me. I provide the money, they provide their presence. It's fair. Furthermore, if I were to dump them all, would that really be good for them? Wouldn't they be sad? How do you know they aren't truly happy with me by their side? So, strictly speaking, dumping one after another is what makes a scumbag."
Jiang Cheng would never admit that he was a scumbag.
Such a label placed on him was simply absurd. In other words, he was just spreading love to the world.
Chen Xueer understood Jiang Cheng's meaning.
Just now, Chen Xueer had also seen Xiao Xia's affection for Jiang Cheng in her eyes.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng's implication was that they both tacitly agreed to this kind of arrangement.
So, this wasn't a one-sided affair.
Instead, it was a matter of mutual cooperation?
Chen Xueer didn't understand why these women would be willing to be with Jiang Cheng.
At least, she couldn't do it right now.
Just because Jiang Cheng had money? Chen Xueer fell into deep thought for a moment.
Although she was somewhat convinced by Jiang Cheng's reasoning, she still asked unwillingly, "So you're shamelessly dating multiple people?"
"What I said is the truth, not some twisted logic. In other words, haven't I been good to them? And aren't they happy with me? If I were to leave them, would their lives be better than when they were with me?"
"Besides those three? Are there any more? Never mind, I don't want to know."
Seeing Chen Xueer fall silent again, Jiang Cheng didn't pay any more attention to her.
Taking advantage of the parking stop, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and sent a voice message to Xiao Xia and Wang Sheng: "Find someone to buy a few phones nearby and bring them back."
After hanging up, Chen Xueer couldn't help but ask, "Isn't her phone quite new?"
After starting the engine, Jiang Cheng continued, "It's for Xiao Xia, that girl just now. Her phone broke, and looking at her, she definitely wouldn't want to buy one herself, so I'll prepare it for her first."
Chen Xueer rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng: "Your woman can't afford a phone? Is it because you're usually too stingy?"
"Her family background probably isn't very good. I still remember the first time I saw her, she looked honest and simple, and seemed malnourished. Later, I asked her to move into the apartment I bought, and I found that all her possessions consisted of a very old suitcase and an old-fashioned thermos flask she carried by hand."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xueer's brows furrowed even tighter: "She looks quite young."
"Eighteen, high school graduate. After meeting me, she had her first Frappuccino in her life, and even the hamburgers we often eat were her first time. Later, I took her to buy home appliances, and she didn't know how to use a rice cooker. She said her family used a large iron pot..."
Chen Xueer fell silent upon hearing this, and the air became still again.
Jiang Cheng silently observed the mission scanning system and found that Chen Xueer's favorability value was fluctuating up and down.
At this moment, her heart was extremely conflicted, as if two little figures were arguing fiercely.
It wasn't until after getting out of the car that Chen Xueer's favorability value towards Jiang Cheng stabilized at 85 points.
Although it was lower than before, this also showed that Chen Xueer was slowly beginning to accept the situation.
She didn't bring it up again, and Jiang Cheng didn't ask.
After Chen Xueer adjusted her mindset, she quickly returned to her original self, looking at Jiang Cheng playfully and saying, "I've booked a flight for tomorrow morning. Ling'er from the company is already rushing me. Several companies we want to acquire are still being evaluated, and you'll need to personally confirm them then. So, Chairman Jiang, don't play for too long, okay?"
Looking at Chen Xueer watching him with a half-smile, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
She truly is a career-oriented woman.
Her mindset is excellent; she recovers just like that.
Like a heroine in a TV show, no matter what setbacks and difficulties she faces, she can quickly adjust her state and return to work.
"I'll go back after I've dealt with Company Name's matters."
Chen Xueer nodded upon hearing this: "Given Company Name's current situation, the acquisition price should be less than 100 million. I won't stay here; I'll go back to the company. Manager Zhu should be able to handle this for you. If not, I'll have Ling'er come over then."
