Seeing that the two sisters remained silent, Jiang Cheng deliberately called out the wrong name.
He looked at Si Qing and said, "Si Nian, will your aunt pick you up when you get off the high-speed rail?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Si Nian, who was standing nearby, was slightly startled at first, then couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.
With a smile, she looked at Si Qing with interest.
The moment Jiang Cheng hugged her in the store earlier, the trace of guilt deep within her heart resurfaced.
But at this moment, feeling the touch of Jiang Cheng's hand, Si Qing, for some reason, felt her inner desire break through that guilt.
Because in her opinion,
What he had told her at the club before was true; he said he wouldn't give up on Si Nian, and even more so, he wouldn't give up on her.
These words were not just said casually.
Jiang Cheng's desperate act of holding her hand at this moment was a genuine action!
Si Qing knew the difficult position Jiang Cheng was in within this complex emotional relationship.
She also understood the immense risks he was taking by making such a move at this moment.
After all, if he was not careful, it could very likely make his relationship with Si Nian precarious.
So, what reason did she have to escape?
Si Qing made up her mind not to dodge anymore, silently cooperating with Jiang Cheng, and instantly slipped into Si Nian's role.
She subtly adjusted her voice, replying in a tone remarkably similar to Si Nian's, "Yes, I will, don't worry."
Jiang Cheng nodded, then looked at Si Nian who was beside him.
He instructed, "When you two arrive, remember to message me."
Si Nian's face did not show the slightest displeasure.
On the contrary, she quickly entered the state of playing Si Qing.
She deliberately put on a slightly uncomfortable expression, gently bit her lip, and after a moment of silence, nodded slightly.
In reality, she had already sensed Jiang Cheng's ambition and Si Qing's feelings for Jiang Cheng.
From today's mutual role-playing and probing between her and Si Qing, she had also realized that Jiang Cheng truly couldn't distinguish between the two sisters.
Aside from their different personalities and souls, honestly, the other differences were minimal, so Si Nian didn't blame Jiang Cheng at all.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng and Si Qing had met several times before, and the time they spent together even surpassed the time she had spent with Jiang Cheng.
This made Si Nian begin to feel suspicious.
Was Jiang Cheng fond of her personality or Si Qing's personality?
However, after an internal struggle, Si Nian's final decision was the same as Si Qing's—.
She neither wanted to add too much trouble to Jiang Cheng nor was she willing to easily give up this relationship.
Therefore, Si Nian chose to stand silently by, letting things unfold naturally according to their own trajectory.
This seemingly inexplicable rivalry between the sisters inadvertently benefited Jiang Cheng.
If Jiang Cheng knew their true thoughts,
He would definitely slap his thigh!
This is great, he's the only beneficiary!
...After sending the two sisters onto the high-speed rail, Jiang Cheng returned to his villa.
As the car smoothly pulled up in front of the house, Jiang Cheng walked briskly through the front door.
Upon entering the spacious and bright living room, he found that the entire room contained only his mother, Li Yan.
She was quietly sitting on the sofa, leisurely scrolling on her phone.
Seeing Jiang Cheng finally return,
Li Yan's lips curved into a half-smile as she said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Young Master Jiang has finally returned."
Hearing his mother's teasing,
Jiang Cheng walked over to a comfortable single sofa with a playful smile and plopped down.
He asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"
Li Yan didn't even lift her head, her eyes fixed on her phone screen, and she casually replied, "He went to Uncle Qiu's place early this morning."
At the mention of Qiu Zheng, Jiang Cheng's relaxed and cheerful expression instantly froze, and his face gradually became solemn.
To be honest, if the plane crash site hadn't been the vast, boundless ocean, but incredibly hard land,
Then, given the severity of Qiu Zheng's injuries, the chances of survival would have been almost negligible, practically zero.
However, even now, surviving is not easy.
Not to mention becoming a disabled person unable to care for himself, just the proliferation of scars all over his body is already enough to make one extremely uncomfortable.
"How is Uncle Qiu's health?" Jiang Cheng asked with concern.
Li Yan sighed softly and replied, "I saw him that day; he takes medicine constantly, and various ointments need to be applied frequently. We'll arrange a comprehensive check-up for him in Kyoto."
After speaking, she no longer paid attention to Jiang Cheng, turning her focus to communicating with her sisters in a group chat via voice messages and replying to each one.
Seeing that Li Yan was ignoring him, Jiang Cheng felt quite helpless, so he silently pulled out his phone and casually opened the WeChat app.
Before he even had a chance to flirt with the Girls,
Jiang Cheng noticed a new notification icon flashing in the add friend requests section.
Clicking on it, he saw that the avatar used by the person requesting to add him was a somewhat dark-themed image.
Immediately after, Jiang Cheng shifted his gaze to the remarks section accompanying the friend verification message.
He softly murmured, "Chen Mengyan?"
The name sounded strangely familiar.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Cheng finally remembered that Chen Mengyan was none other than Chen Jin, their school principal's rebellious daughter, who couldn't even pass the civil service exam?
He recalled that when they had met in the corridor before, she had pressed him against the wall and actively asked to add Jiang Cheng's WeChat.
But at that time, Jiang Cheng had ignored her.
Now that she could get Jiang Cheng's WeChat ID, it was probably Chen Jin who helped push it to her.
After all, the only person they both had in common in their moments was Chen Jin.
Jiang Cheng accepted Chen Mengyan's friend request.
As soon as they were connected, Chen Mengyan eagerly sent a message.
Chen Mengyan: "Student Jiang Cheng? Have time to grab a meal together?"
Seeing this message, Jiang Cheng only replied with a question mark.
Soon, Chen Mengyan sent another message to explain.
"I'm about to go to Hope Primary School to be a volunteer teaching teacher, so I wanted to give you a gift in advance~~"
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng felt a bit confused.
Jiang Cheng: "That's not right, I'm not responsible for recruitment matters, so you might be giving the gift to the wrong person."
Chen Mengyan: "No, I didn't send it to the wrong person. It's precisely because of you that I have the opportunity to be a volunteer teaching teacher."
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to press for the reason,
Li Yan, who was sitting nearby, suddenly stood up and turned to him, saying,
"I'm going out. I won't be back for dinner tonight."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face was full of confusion and surprise.
He quickly asked, "Then what about my dad?"
Li Yan smiled slightly and replied in a relaxed tone, "Of course, he's eating with me. We'll probably be back a bit late, don't wait for us."
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened. He pointed to himself and continued to ask, full of grievance, "Then what about my dinner?"
While Jiang Cheng was completely bewildered, Li Yan only left him with these four words: 'Arrange it yourself.'
Seeing his mother pick up her bag and walk out, Jiang Cheng was instantly speechless.
He had rushed back to have dinner with his parents, only to be abandoned.
Seeing Li Yan leave, Xia Li, who had been quietly waiting in the side room, noticed the movement and immediately walked out quickly.
She came up to Jiang Cheng and softly asked, "Young Master Jiang, would you like me to prepare dinner for you?"
Jiang Cheng slowly shifted his gaze from the doorway to Xia Li, looked her up and down, then gently shook his head.
"I'm not eating at home. You go eat first; I'm going out too."
After saying this, Jiang Cheng picked up his phone and sent a message to Chen Mengyan.
Jiang Cheng: "Send me the address."
Around 7 PM, Jiang Cheng discreetly drove his ferrari 488 to the address Chen Mengyan had sent.
The location Chen Mengyan sent him was a Bar Street.
Here, there were all kinds of quiet bars and specialty bars.
By the time Jiang Cheng arrived, it was almost eight o'clock.
Although this time was still a bit early for bars,
Under the dazzling lights, the atmosphere of nightlife was still very strong.
Although the ferrari 488 was not considered a top-tier supercar in a place like Modu,
After saying this, Jiang Cheng picked up his phone and sent a message to Chen Mengyan.
Jiang Cheng: "Send me the address."
Around 7 PM, Jiang Cheng discreetly drove his ferrari 488 to the address Chen Mengyan had sent.
The location Chen Mengyan sent him was a Bar Street.
On both sides of the street, various bars and quiet bars stood in rows.
Neon lights flickered, and colorful signs were particularly dazzling in the night.
The street was filled with a faint scent of alcohol and music.
Jiang Cheng drove slowly, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the bars on both sides.
It was almost eight o'clock now.
Although this time was still a bit early for bars,
Under the dazzling lights, the atmosphere of nightlife was still very strong.
Although the ferrari 488 was not considered a top-tier supercar in a place like Modu,
Its flashy license plate and Ferrari emblem still attracted the attention of many Girls in short skirts.
After all, the price of a supercar is what it is; no matter how it's not the most expensive,
It's still worthy of the Girls who endure the cold in winter to try and get attention.
