Chapter 1853 - Is He Going to Prison?

He pulled her straight over and gave her another deep kiss.

However, this time it was just a kiss; he didn't move his hands around, and the kiss was very brief.

After the kiss, Xu Yan quickly put some distance between herself and Jiang Cheng as usual.

But Jiang Cheng didn't have any problem with this behavior.

Because although Xu Yan was a bit afraid of being discovered during the kiss just now, Jiang Cheng noticed that her lips were still clumsily responding to him.

So, this Girl actually liked him kissing her.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng could feel that Xu Yan being with him wasn't entirely because of money.

If it were for money, she should be very excited about successfully winning over Jiang Cheng right now, rather than being so apprehensive.

Furthermore, she should be eager to be on equal footing with Jiang Churan so that Jiang Cheng would buy her houses and luxury goods, instead of worrying here about their affair being discovered by Jiang Churan.

Jiang Cheng patted Xu Yan's head again.

Although Jiang Cheng didn't speak, a sweet smile curled at the corner of Xu Yan's mouth.

"Jiang Cheng, Chu Ran treats me very well. When we were joking before, I always said she'd be the first wife and I'd be the second. So even if she finds out about us in the future, I won't compete with her, okay?"

Hearing this, although Jiang Cheng's face remained expressionless, he was shouting in his heart, "There's actually such a good thing?!"

Wasn't this as worry-free as Yu Xiaoxiao and Su Wan?

Thinking about the two times he had done it in Yu Xiaoxiao's office, Jiang Cheng suddenly looked forward to how Jiang Churan and Xu Yan would get along in the future.

Soon, footsteps were heard from the doorway.

Seeing this, Xu Yan silently moved away from Jiang Cheng, turned around, and picked up her phone, pretending to play with it naturally.

Jiang Churan and Shen Shuang didn't seem to think much of it when they entered.

Especially Jiang Churan, who rushed straight to Jiang Cheng's side as soon as she came in and hugged him happily.

"darling, you've been waiting a long time, haven't you..."

Jiang Cheng naturally put his arm around Jiang Churan and gave her a loud 'mwah' kiss on her slightly flushed cheek from the dancing.

At this kiss, Shen Shuang immediately clicked her tongue.

It is well known that the more embarrassed a person is, the more they talk to show how calm they are.

Having experienced her own embarrassment, the bitterness in Shen Shuang's tone was clearly much stronger than before.

"Could you two please consider the feelings of us two single dogs? I don't want to eat dog food for lunch, right, Yan Yan?"

Normally, Xu Yan would have smoothly followed up on Shen Shuang's words, but since she had just kissed Jiang Cheng and shared their feelings, strictly speaking, she was no longer a single dog.

However, to hide her guilty conscience, Xu Yan immediately chimed in: "Exactly, I'm hungry from all that dancing. Can we have something good for lunch..."

Jiang Cheng nodded upon hearing this. "Sure. By the way, didn't you say last night you wanted to try that giant sushi place that's popular online? I've made a reservation for you. Let Chu Ran take the two of you to eat. I have some things to do at noon, so I probably won't be able to join you."

Hearing this, the smile on Shen Shuang's face instantly became a bit forced.

While her smile was strained, a hidden, irrepressible worry lingered between her brows.

She opened her mouth and finally spoke: "Big boss, can I ask you something..."

Looking at her expression, Jiang Cheng asked directly in front of the other two Girls: "Is it about your family's business? Is it related to the Company?"

As soon as he said this, Shen Shuang's body stiffened. When she looked up at Jiang Cheng, her eyes were full of astonishment, as if she hadn't expected him to point it out so directly.

Jiang Churan and Xu Yan were also stunned. They glanced at each other, both sensing the subtle atmosphere.

Both of them had heard Shen Shuang mention the recent matters between Jiang Cheng and the Company to some extent.

Since Shen Shuang's family did business with the Company, they were indirectly affected.

Shen Shuang nodded. "Yeah, I just wanted to ask you about that... Can I talk to you privately?"

If it were just about the Company, Shen Shuang could naturally say it in front of Jiang Churan and Xu Yan.

But Shen Shuang didn't want Jiang Churan and Xu Yan to know about the time Xu Zhi cornered her in the restroom.

Although the two Girls were curious, seeing Shen Shuang's solemn expression, they knew the matter wasn't simple.

Jiang Churan spoke up very tactfully: "Then we'll go over there to practice basic steps. You guys chat."

Xu Yan immediately nodded. "Mhm..."

Before leaving, Xu Yan inadvertently gave Jiang Cheng a secret wink.

'Good grief,' Jiang Cheng thought, 'this Girl just loves playing with these thrilling little risks.'

After the two walked out, Shen Shuang remained silent for a while before speaking, her tone carrying a hint of testing and pleading: "Jiang Cheng, did you know long ago that the Company was going to have trouble? Is that why you told our family not to cooperate with them?"

Jiang Cheng sat down next to her.

Since Shen Shuang had brought it up herself, he decided to be blunt.

"Yes. Xu Zhi is unscrupulous, and the Xu Family is acting as a front for others. They'll trip up sooner or later, and there's no need for your family to go down with them."

"Ah, is it that big of a deal? I thought it was just a business rivalry between you two." Shen Shuang's shoulders slumped, her eyes full of helplessness.

She continued, "After you told me last time, I told my dad too. But our family has cooperated with the Company for so many years; the business is so intertwined, how can it be cut off just like that? My dad is also at his wit's end now, afraid that if the Company collapses, the funds our family invested will go down the drain."

She paused, recalling Xu Zhi's provocation at the bar, and her voice deepened: "And that Xu Zhi is narrow-minded. He was disrespectful to me at the bar last time, and you were the one who blocked him for me. If he knows now that you're targeting the Xu Family, he might take it out on our family, and then we'll never see those funds again."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

"Xu Zhi is currently too busy looking after himself. He doesn't have time to cause trouble for your family."

He didn't mention the fact that Xu Zhi had embezzled 15 billion of the family's funds for stock trading, was forced to liquidate, and now owed 23.7 billion.

But Jiang Cheng was right; the Xu Family was currently in a state of chaos, and it was about time for Xu Zhi to go to prison.

How could he have the time to cause trouble for her family?

"Why do you say that?" Shen Shuang asked curiously.

Jiang Cheng smiled. "You just need to know that Xu Zhi won't be bouncing around out here for much longer."

"What do you mean by 'out here'?" After frowning, Shen Shuang suddenly thought of something.

No way... the opposite of 'out here' is 'inside'.

So, is Xu Zhi about to go to prison?

Jiang Cheng couldn't have said that unless he had some evidence to send him in, right?

This was too terrifying!

But what kind of thing would someone have to do to be sent inside?
