Chapter 1094: Betraying a Friend! (1)
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the private room, several parties were confronting each other.
Pei Huai and Jiang Chu stood on one side while the others sat on the other.
There was a clear distinction.
Jiang Chu glanced at Pei Huai. Neither of them wanted to stand next to the other.
When Shen Mu saw Jiang Chu, his radar was on full alert!
This person was actually in this western restaurant today?
However, what was even stranger was…
Why did he go back to the private room with his CEO?
Only then did Shen Mu realize that the atmosphere was not quite right.
Su Cunyi’s expression was tense, without a trace of warmth.
Although he could not believe it, Shen Mu felt that someone was caught red-handed?
However, before he could stand in front of his CEO protectively, Madam Xu, who was sitting in the middle, said, “Wei Wei, you and Special a.s.sistant Shen can leave first.”
Wei Wei adjusted her gla.s.ses in a business-like manner. “Yes.”
Then, Shen Mu was dragged away.
Jiang Chu looked at the family of three sitting together and guessed Su Cunyi’s ident.i.ty.
And when his gaze inevitably met Su Ji’s…
“Long time no see.” Su Ji held her face with one hand and said slowly.
She was the only person in the room who did not look angry at all. However, there was a deeper meaning in her expression.
“Do you know this girl?” Su Cunyi asked in surprise.
“Yes, we…” Su Ji looked at Jiang Chu. “We’re friends.”
Jiang Chu’s hands froze.
Xu Mingzhi sized him up with an iron face.
“What?” Su Cunyi placed his hand on the table.
Acquaintance crime?
That would be an even greater crime!
Su Cunqi was extremely angry. Pei Huai noticed his hand movements. Just before he slammed the table and stood up, Pei Huai took the initiative to explain. He was concise and went straight to the point. “He is a man.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Cunyi’s movements stopped. He raised his head, and his gaze landed on Jiang Chu’s face.
Jiang Chu looked at Su Ji.
He was not ready to admit his true gender to Su Ji, and he did not expect to be betrayed!
What a scheming man!
Su Cunyi slowly straightened his body, put his hands behind his back, and looked Jiang Chu up and down three times.
Could this girl be a man?
Su Cunyi narrowed his eyes.
If he was a man, then Su Cunyi would claim to be a woman!
However, Pei Huai’s expression was serious. He did not have the slightest intention of joking.
Xu Mingzhi didn’t say anything.
“Little girl, are you a man or a woman?” Su Cunyi asked Jiang Chu to say it himself.
Jiang Chu was numb to death today.
It was another day when he didn’t look at the almanac. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone on a blind date according to his father’s arrangements!
He remembered that he had been approaching Su Ji as her best friend, asking Su Ji to watch shows at his house and even attend a best friend’s party at Su Ji’s house. He even drank the divine item soup!
Jiang Chu didn’t know how to explain this to her. He lowered his head and stammered.
The next second, he heard Su Ji say calmly, “dad, he’s a man. I know.”
Jiang Chu looked up at her.
Pei Huai also looked at his baby.
As for Su Cunyi, “hmm?”
His precious daughter knew?
She turned to look at Jiang Chu with a meaningful expression.
Jiang Chu had no choice but to admit it.
Su Cunyi frowned.
In the past, society valued boys over girls. It was understandable for a child like Xu Ni to dress up as a man, but this person in front of him…
He really didn’t understand young people these days…
After a few seconds, he cleared his throat. “So it’s really a misunderstanding. In that case, young lady…” His eyebrows twitched awkwardly, and his mouth felt hot as he changed his words. “I mean, young man. Do you have anything else to do? Uncle won’t delay you any longer.”
Jiang Chu was stunned for a moment before he remembered the spokesperson he had left in the next room!
However, just as he was about to leave, Xu Mingzhi, who had been silent all this while, said coldly, “stop right there.”
Jiang Chu’s heart tightened.
To be honest, when Su Cunyi misunderstood that there was something going on between him and CEO Pei, he was indeed very angry and his tone was very strict. However, Jiang Chu did not feel that way at all.
Xu Mingzhi just sat there calmly and spoke.
Jiang Chu had gooseb.u.mps all over his body!
From the moment Jiang Chu entered the room, Xu Mingzhi knew that he was not a woman.
Moreover, even if it was a woman, Xu Mingzhi would not suspect that his son-in-law would do anything with her.
Putting him together with her daughter…
He did not have the conditions to pose a threat.
Xu Mingzhi’s serious att.i.tude from the beginning was because of another matter…
“Please explain.” Xu Mingzhi crossed his arms on the table and stared at Jiang Chu. “What’s your purpose for dressing up as a woman to be friends with my daughter?”
Jiang Chu pursed his lips.
The “interrogation” segment regarding Pei Huai had ended. He returned to the dining table and sat down opposite his wife.
Jiang Chu became the target of public criticism.
Originally, Jiang Chu wanted to come up with other excuses, but he couldn’t seem to lie to the woman in front of him!
His true form would be revealed in an instant!
Under her watchful eyes, Jiang Chu gritted his teeth and told her everything about the feud between the Jiang and Pei families.
Su Ji was not surprised when she heard this. It was obvious that she had guessed it before.
His reason was clear, and Xu Mingzhi looked away after he finished speaking.
“So,” she glanced at the empty teacup beside her hand, “you had something to do with the Pei family’s press conference?”
Jiang Chu clenched his fists. “Yes!”
He looked up. “But I really thought that Pei Huai did it! Su Ji is my friend, and I felt conflicted!”
“Young man,” Xu Mingzhi interrupted him. His tone was calm but could not be ignored. “I just heard my daughter say that you two are still ‘friends’, so I can talk to you like this now…”
Pei Huai served tea to his mother-in-law, and the sound of the water flowing seemed to burn Jiang Chu’s heart.
Xu Mingzhi picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. “But normally, for betraying a friend…you’ll be sentenced to death. Good luck.”
She said the last words with great force.
Jiang Chu’s ears buzzed.
Xu Mingzhi didn’t like to beat around the bush. With the words ‘betraying friends’, she directly tore apart all the excuses that Jiang Chu had been thinking of for a long time!
Yes, he said that it was for Su Ji’s own good.
To put it bluntly, he had betrayed his friend!
Jiang Chu clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head in shame. His eyes were bloodshot.
“I will definitely not make the same mistake again…”
At the same time, Jiang Chu’s phone screen lit up.
A message came from Ms. Lan.
[ “Have you thought about what you said that day… Young Master Jiang?” ]
Yes, Ms. Lan addressed him as Young Master Jiang…
