Chapter 29

There was something wrong with Jiang Tingzhou, who was in front of her. He was very different from usual. He had cold brows and eyes, his expression was indifferent, and his whole body seemed to be firmly trapped in a layer of frost, which made it impossible for people to approach him easily. Su Meng was agitated by the cold air, and thought of Jiang Tingzhou’s relationship with his father. A thought came to her involuntarily.

“Did Jiang Tingzhou quarrel with his father? This was not impossible. Jiang Tingzhou snuck out yesterday. He should now be in a state of being ‘punished’.” In addition, the small accident made a dent to the jeep. The car driven out by him in the army had to be repaired. If that matter was known to Jiang Tingzhou’s father, the two would inevitably fight. But it was impossible for Jiang Tingzhou’s father to not know that.

“So, his relationship with his father had once again entered a freezing period?” She was unconcerned about him without even realising it herself. If that was the case, then his appearance of a person who stayed outside all night could be reasonably explained.

But why did he appear under the tree near Ling house? His two younger brothers who weren’t much younger than him, and were a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses (twins) in his stepmother’s belly. She sighed. Jiang Tingzhou put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Su Meng. After hearing her old-fashioned sigh, he laughed and said, “Why are you sighing?”

Su Meng shook her head, “No…nothing.”

In the early morning, the sun overhead was lazily shed, and Jiang Tingzhou’s voice was lazy too, “You haven’t answered my question. Where are you going?”

Su Meng thought for a while. There was nothing wrong to tell Jiang Tingzhou, so she replied, “Shanghai.”

She took out her mobile phone and took a look, and found that in a short while, five minutes had passed. Lao Zhang was already at the door. It won’t be good to keep him waiting for too long. So Su Meng said, “Then I will go first, the driver is waiting for me.”

Just as she took a few steps, Su Meng heard a “wait!”

Su Meng paused, turned her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Tingzhou’s lazy look disappeared little by a little and he returned to his former inattentive appearance. He took a few steps forward and walked to Su Meng’s side, “I will go with you.” Jiang Tingzhou didn’t ask Su Meng why she was going to Shanghai. He didn’t plan to ask. He just wanted to leave that place temporarily and calm down.

Su Meng’s eyes widened. She was going to Shanghai for something important, why would Jiang Tingzhou go with her? If Jiang Tingzhou went to Shanghai with her, many more things would fall beyond her plan. And it was indeed not convenient for Jiang Tingzhou to interfere in that matter.

Keeping all those in mind, Su Meng shook her head fiercely, “No.”

Jiang Tingzhou stretched and said, “Why not?”

Su Meng subconsciously stepped back a few steps, “No way means no way.”

Jiang Tingzhou looked like a cynical rogue, “But I want to go with you.”

Su Meng knew that Jiang Tingzhou was used to doing whatever he wanted. Since he said that he wanted to go together, he would definitely follow her. But she really couldn’t take him with her. She was going to Shanghai just to take Xiao Mei out of the fire pit, and she wouldn’t let go of that matter easily. Jiang Tingzhou’s current mood was a bit bad, so his behavior was even more unpredictable.

“What if something happens there?” Su Meng had no choice but to let Jiang Tingzhou dispel this idea as much as possible. She clenched her fists at Jiang Tingzhou, and said seriously, “I am going to Shanghai, so don’t come with me. Please, please.” The words “please” came out of her mouth with a soft and coquettish taste.

Jiang Tingzhou’s bad mood throughout the whole night, instantly disappeared because of that soft ‘please please’. The burden that seemed to be on his mind disappeared all at once, making him light up again.

Every time she acted like a baby, it was so cute that he wanted to take her into his arms and cuddle. After he went home last night, he looked at the happy family for whom he was like an insignificant outsider. That excitement that had always belonged to others, and he never got anything. Later, because he sneaked out and broke the jeep he had a fierce quarrel with his father. Such quarrels happened many times after his mother passed away, and he eventually became numb. But no matter how many times it happened, his mood was irresistibly affected.

After that argument, he left home alone in a rage, and walked aimlessly in the colony by himself. As he walked, he came near Ling house without realising it. Then he stood there all night. Perhaps subconsciously, he felt that being with Su Meng would make him feel relaxed and happy. Therefore, he came to her place unintentionally.

Jiang Tingzhou chuckled lightly, and took her hand in a good mood, “Kid, let’s go to Shanghai.”

“Jiang Tingzhou, you!”

“I?” 

Su Meng bit her lower lip. It would be useless to ask him.
