The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Jiang Manxi was taken aback, then understood what he meant, and awkwardly rubbed her forehead.

She really didn't think that far ahead, no wonder her mother said she wasn't smart, she really isn't very smart.

"Uh... okay..."

Subsequently, she promptly transferred 10 yuan to Zeng Yichen through the communication platform.

Zeng Yichen didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it.

After all, 10 yuan is not a difficult amount for him even now.

She just wanted to help him, so let's accept her kindness in this way.

After transferring the money, Jiang Manxi thought of another problem.

"So... you said all your family's assets have been seized, where do you live?"

Mentioning this issue truly stung Zeng Yichen's heart.

"Thanks to my sister-in-law, my mother and I have a place to rest."

Jiang Manxi naturally knew that her sister-in-law referred to An Lian, but she immediately became puzzled.

Didn't Sister Anlian divorce that scumbag? She even accepted her former brother-in-law and mother-in-law back into the family. Sister Anlian is such a good person.

However, this was just something he kept to himself, and naturally he wouldn't ask it aloud.

However, Zeng Yichen seemed to be aware of her doubts, and he spoke to himself in a self-deprecating manner.

"The best thing my brother ever did was probably divorce his wife."

"Huh??" Jiang Manxi couldn't help but voice her doubt.

How can it be considered right for a scumbag to abandon his wife?

Zeng Yichen continued:

"In this way, my sister-in-law's family can be protected from being implicated to the least extent. Moreover, thanks to his leaving with nothing, all his property was transferred to my sister-in-law's name, which is why the house they are currently living in has been spared."

"Oh, oh..." Jiang Manxi understood; that was the situation. However, she was quite surprised. "Your brother actually left with nothing??"

Didn't he previously announce in the media that he was going to file a property lawsuit? And he was criticized relentlessly because of it.

Seeing the embarrassment on Zeng Yichen's face, Jiang Manxi realized that her words had been too sharp.

"I'm...I'm sorry...I judged your brother without knowing the details..."

Zeng Yichen smiled as if relieved, "It doesn't matter, this is the impression he wants to leave on the public."

Jiang Manxi shrank back, her gossipy heart barely able to contain itself.

Why did he do that?

Zeng Yichen opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Jiang Manxi quickly added, "It's okay, you don't have to say if you don't want to..."

Zeng Yichen took a deep breath.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it; selfishly, he naturally hoped that others would dislike his brother less.

It's just that the story is too long, and he really doesn't know where to begin.

"Beep~" A message came through on my phone.

He reached into the inside pocket of his damp coat and pulled out his phone; it was a message from his mother.

"Yichen, are you coming home for lunch?"

Jiang Manxi hadn't intended to peek at other people's messages, but she somehow managed to catch a glimpse of just one sentence.

Naturally, I also noticed the sender's nickname in the notes: 'Mom'.

In an instant, she remembered that Zeng Yichen had just said that he and his mother lived at his sister-in-law's house.

She hadn't thought much of it and subconsciously assumed he was referring to Yuan Yamei.

But then it dawned on me that Yuan Yamei was still in detention.

Furthermore, Zeng Yichen shouldn't call Yuan Yamei "Mom".

After Zeng Yichen finished replying to the message, Jiang Manxi finally couldn't help but probe:

"Zeng Yichen, you...you said you live with your mother?"

Zeng Yichen's expression became slightly unnatural for a moment, clearly indicating that he was avoiding the topic.

"Yes, my biological mother."

Jiang Manxi was truly shocked this time.

Didn't everyone say that Zeng's first wife had passed away long ago? How come she suddenly came back to life?

However, this was a very private matter, and she knew her limits, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Both fell silent.

After a long while, they decided to leave today and headed outside together.

First, they went to the park service center to return the general's coat, and then walked together out of the park.

Jiang Manxi looked at his still-wet coat and felt a little worried.

"How about I go back and buy that coat from them? You'll catch a cold if you go home like this."

“It’s okay,” Zeng Yichen shook his head. “If you have a cold, just take medicine. You’ll get better eventually.”

He pronounced the last four words very clearly, as if he was not just talking about a cold, but also encouraging himself about life.

Jiang Manxi seemed to understand, and she simply sighed softly, "Then shall I take you home?"

"No need, it's easy for me to take a taxi."

Zeng Yichen refused. He impulsively asked her out today, and then he pretended to jump into the lake, scaring people, and then he played the victim to ask someone to lend him 10 yuan... He was already very embarrassed and didn't want to cause her any more trouble.

"If you really consider me a friend, don't be so formal with me. It's just a matter of stepping on the gas."

Jiang Manxi patted his back casually.

"Besides, you're all soaking wet. What if the ride-hailing driver refuses to take you?"

Zeng Yichen turned to look at her, and saw her nodding at him expectantly.

"...Alright." He finally stopped being coy.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Manxi visibly became much happier, and then she cautiously probed further:

"Then... will we be able to meet again next time?"

Zeng Yichen was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to still be willing to see him. Although he didn't want to cause any more trouble for this simple and kind girl, he still nodded as if possessed.

"Okay."

"Hehe." Jiang Manxi even chuckled with delight this time.

When Zeng Yichen heard her clear laughter, his heart was inexplicably stirred.

He tilted his head slightly, secretly observing her, the corners of his mouth turned up, humming a little tune happily, and swaying his head slightly.

Her happiness seems to be truly infectious.

Before they knew it, the two had almost reached the park entrance.

Jiang Manxi lowered her head and started to take out her car keys. After searching for a while, she remembered that Zeng Yichen had just stuffed them into her pocket.

When she took out her keys, she realized that the person beside her hadn't followed.

She turned around and looked at Zeng Yichen, who was standing there in a daze.

"Why don't you leave?"

Zeng Yichen's face showed a clear hint of panic.

Jiang Manxi turned her head in the direction of his gaze, puzzled.

The next second, she froze on the spot.

"Dad...Dad..."

Jiang Sheng stood at the park entrance for an unknown amount of time, with his driver and bodyguards following behind him.

His face was expressionless at the moment, but his eyes were icy cold, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

Zeng Yichen seemed to realize what was happening and immediately bowed his head respectfully.

"Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Sheng gave a curt "hmm," refusing to look at him again, and turned to his daughter, uttering two words.

"Manxi, let's go home."

His tone was calm, yet carried an unyielding authority.

Jiang Manxi bit her lip, seemed to struggle for a moment, but still shook her head and said:

"I promised to take him home."
