NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Cheng Jinjin Says Chen Lang is Ten Thousand Times Better Than Ye Chen?
Cheng Jinjin ignored him and asked, “Did you see Chen Lang today?”
She had just read the diary and stumbled upon some juicy gossip!
Chen Lang and Jiang Mengyao—there was definitely something going on between them!
Jiang Mengyao rubbing against Chen Lang with her stockings? This ignited Cheng Jinjin’s gossip fire.
Ye Chen said, “Oh, you already know? But don’t worry, the bodyguards he brought were just rabble. I took them down easily!”
Cheng Jinjin asked, “Jiang Mengyao was there too, right? Did anything happen between her and Chen Lang?”
Ye Chen said, “Yes, Jiang Mengyao was forced by the Chen family and had to stand on their side. It’s all because of that cunning Chen Lang, tricking me! Otherwise, he’d be the one lying in the hospital!”
Cheng Jinjin was speechless. “Listen carefully, I was asking if there was any interaction between Chen Lang and Jiang Mengyao?”
Ye Chen was puzzled, “Interaction? No, there wasn’t. I defeated Chen Lang’s bodyguards, then got trapped by his trick. But how could they hold me? I fought my way out and didn’t see anything happening between them.”
Cheng Jinjin was completely at a loss.
She asked about one thing, and he answered something entirely different?
She hadn’t found out any gossip at all, just listened to him boasting!
And claiming he fought his way out?
Chen Lang’s diary mentioned he was thrown out like a dead dog! And he was still bragging.
Forget it, this guy probably knows nothing.
The incident with the cat-eared and other cosplaying girls must have happened after he was thrown out.
Ye Chen said, “I know our engagement must have surprised you. It was sudden for me too.”
“So, we don’t need to rush. We can get to know each other…”
But suddenly, Cheng Jinjin directly took out the other half of the ‘Nine Heavenly Dragon Slayer’ manual and threw it at Ye Chen.
“This is the second part of the technique promised by the Cheng family and this is it.”
“The Cheng family has fulfilled its promise!”
“The engagement is over. From now on, don’t mention anything about it, understand?”
After saying this, Cheng Jinjin turned and left.
Ye Chen watched her leave with a sly smile.
He felt that Cheng Jinjin couldn’t possibly be as cold as she appeared on the surface. Otherwise, why would she ask about what happened at the club?
It showed she cared about him! She wanted to know why he got hurt!
As for saying the engagement was canceled, it must be because she was shy!
Holding the “Nine Heavens Dragon Slayer” technique, his master’s words echoed in his ears.
The complete “Nine Heavens Dragon Slayer” technique contained a map.
Following the map to find the treasure would lead to a great fortuitous adventure.
Ye Chen decided that once he was discharged from the hospital, he would follow the map to see what kind of adventure awaited him.
…
In the evening, in Xiao Mingyue’s office.
“It’s so horrifying, Mingyue! I might actually be engaged to that idiot Ye Chen!”
“My God, being engaged to him? I’d rather bang my head on the ground and die right here!”
In the past, as Xiao Mingyue was forced to marry Chen Lang, and Cheng Jinjin had comforted her for a long time.
But now, she hadn’t expected that the engagement drama would turn around and happen to her!
Not to mention, with Ye Chen?
Oh God, Ye Chen’s actions at the auction yesterday were still fresh in her mind.
What kind of weirdo says, “If I don’t open the door, none of you can get in”?
If she married this joker from Nanjing’s University, Cheng Jinjin felt she’d rather die.
Xiao Mingyue sipped her coffee and asked, “What does your family think?”
The dejected Cheng Jinjin rested her chin on the table and replied: “My family had forgotten about the engagement. It was just a joke back then. Who would’ve thought Ye Chen’s master took it seriously.”
“Right now, my family plans to keep quiet and observe Ye Chen’s future development. He’s currently a security guard, and a mediocre one at that. There’s no way my family would marry me to him.”
“But he can practice that powerful Nine Heavens Dragon Slaying technique. It’s quite dangerous.”
Xiao Mingyue put down her coffee cup.
“That’s actually not too bad. Unlike your family, my family wants me marry to Chen Lang after he’s recovered. I can’t avoid the wedding.”
“It’s different. We all know what a weirdo Ye Chen is. Can he be compared to Chen Lang? Chen Lang is ten thousand times better than Ye Chen!”
Xiao Mingyue got interested. “Oh? Jinjin, you think highly of Chen Lang now? You didn’t say that before!”
“Mingyue, think about it. The old Chen Lang would never let a truck hit him without seeking compensation and forgiving it lightly. At the very least, he wouldn’t take revenge on the driver.”
Cheng Jinjin’s eyes were bright. “And, after the accident, I was his attending doctor. After five days in the hospital, I’m certain.”
“Chen Lang is definitely different now!”
Xiao Mingyue fell silent. They couldn’t mention the diary.
But she understood Cheng Jinjin’s point!
It wasn’t that Chen Lang had suddenly turned over a new leaf; rather,
The current Chen Lang might not be the same person as before!
Xiao Mingyue shrugged, “Anyway, we’re both in the same boat.”
“However, I don’t even have time to worry about marriage because the company is facing financial issues. There’s an unexplained deficit.”
Xiao Mingyue sighed, looking out the window.
The company’s financial problems made her think of the hidden agenda mentioned in the diary.
It smelled like a conspiracy.
From being forced into marriage to company troubles, it seemed like an invisible enemy was targeting her, Xiao Mingyue.
