We are all brothers, so what if I am your brother-in-law?

Lan Xinghe gave up, all his efforts turning into a sigh: "I never thought that I, who was smart all my life, would be so foolish for a moment."

"In the end, he was completely outmaneuvered by such a young kid. And his insight was even more impressive than I had imagined."

"He's so young yet already possesses such formidable strength. If we weren't enemies, I would love to immediately bring Jiang Cheng to my side and make him one of my own. Perhaps we could even cooperate properly."

"It's a pity that our relationship has deteriorated a bit. If this continues, will I really be able to make him my defeated opponent in the end?" Lan Xinghe had many concerns in his mind. He felt that things were becoming more and more complicated. Could he really do it?

He didn't know.

All he knew was that he was currently weaker than his opponent.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng's insight was stronger than imagined.

What if something bad happens again?
He was devastated.

Lin Feng, standing nearby, advised, "All we can do now is take it one step at a time and observe patiently. As for the rest, we really have nothing to say right now."

"After all, Jiang Cheng is young, but he is very capable. There are many things I cannot guarantee to you that everything will go smoothly!"

Lin Feng explained.

He frowned slightly, looking anxious as well.

Lan Xinghe reached out and patted his shoulder twice.

"You're absolutely right. Right now, we can only take it one step at a time, and there's not much else we can say."

"Let's wait patiently for now, and then... we'll see!" Lan Xinghe sighed.

Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that Jiangcheng was indeed capable.

Lin Feng was unusually silent this time.

At the same time, Lan Xinghe ultimately decided to talk to Jiang Cheng.

Most importantly, he wanted to see the reaction to Jiangcheng.

He cared a lot about Jiang Cheng's comments about him.

If Jiang Cheng's self-assessment is still quite positive, then this crisis will be over.

If Jiangcheng has a bad opinion of him, or if he keeps his distance from him, he needs to be extra careful!
Otherwise, if anything had happened during this period, he would definitely have been the first person suspected.

He found Jiangcheng.

Doesn't Jiang Cheng know what he's thinking?

Jiang Cheng did not intend to expose him.

Jiang Cheng looked at the person in front of him quietly: "Have you been very busy lately? How come you suddenly have time to come see me?" Jiang Cheng asked someone to pour tea, while he leisurely drank his tea.

Lan Xinghe forced a smile, but could only suppress his discomfort and greet Jiang Cheng.

"That's because something small happened recently, so I wanted to come and see you."

"What's going on?"

"I did have some reservations about you before, thinking that you weren't a member of the Su family, yet they chose to hand over the company to you and let you handle it. I think you're a young person, and no matter how capable you are, how could you possibly compare to us old hands?"

"I did have some issues with you at first, but you proved to me that you are quite capable. I was gradually convinced by your abilities, and since then, my opinion of you has completely changed."

"But recently, it seems that someone is trying to maliciously spread rumors about the relationship between you and me."

"The other side has been secretly trying to make us face off at center position."

"I only recently received the news, and after hesitating, I decided to tell you about it."

"Do you have any ideas or solutions right now? I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of person continuing to be arrogant!"

Lan Xinghe spoke with an angry expression.

At that moment, he was absolutely furious! He angrily complained.

Jiang Cheng looked at the guy in front of him who was acting the whole time and found it very funny.

Does this guy think he's an idiot?

Or……

Is Jiangcheng stupid?

So much so that the other party used this method to deceive him?
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Really? But I haven't heard any rumors about that lately."

"You didn't hear me?" Lan Xinghe asked in surprise. "I thought you heard me!"

"After all, this matter concerns both of us, and I don't want it to ruin our relationship!"

"And that guy, he's absolutely despicable and shameless! I've never seen anyone like him before!" He was very upset, and his chest heaved violently as he complained.

He was very unhappy.

He certainly looked furious.

but--

Jiang Cheng looked at him quietly.

Jiang Cheng had seen through his actions.

This guy came up to him and put on a show, and in this way, isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Jiang Cheng scoffed.

However, Jiang Cheng still had to put on an act on the surface.

"Yes, I haven't heard any rumors about this lately. Where did you hear all this from? Could it be that you've offended someone, and they're using this method to deal with you?"

"You'd better be more careful, and also find out who's targeting you like this. If you don't find out, I'm starting to worry about you!" Jiang Cheng said to him with a worried look.

Lan Xinghe still frowned: "Are you sure you don't? Think about it carefully again."

"If the other party wants it, and we two are at odds with each other, then logically we should try to sow discord between us!" Lan Xinghe said, looking confused.

Is it possible...

Is he really overthinking it?
He thought about it over and over, but something still felt off.

But Jiang Cheng now seems too sincere to him.

At first, he had some doubts, but when he met Jiang Cheng's sincere eyes, he fell silent for a moment.

He stared intently at Jiang Cheng again.

Jiang Cheng stated, "Every word I said is absolutely true and there is no falsehood in it."

"And why would I lie to you for no reason?" he said, while taking a sip of tea from the table.

Jiang Cheng slightly composed himself.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the other person with remarkable composure.

But a turbulent undercurrent was brewing beneath his eyes.

Is this guy panicking? Or is he afraid of being discovered?

So now you're rushing to him to put on a show?
Jiang Cheng was amused by his behavior.

Jiang Cheng, in particular, saw his foolish methods and scoffed at them.

Why did this guy have to deceive him of all people? (End of Chapter)
