Chapter 729 - Chapter 680

Yuwen Jing held Chen Meng’er and walked towards the sofa. Qiu Jing and Chen Haoxuan followed behind.

Su Jinming subconsciously wanted to catch up. Qiu Kaifeng, who was quick-witted, pulled him back with Xu Zhengle. “Jinming, it’s impossible for you and Chen Meng’er to be together.”

Xu Zhengle’s grandfather, Elder Xu, had a good relationship with Yuwen Hou. The two lived in the same courtyard, so, Xu Zhengle could often hear Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing’s name from his grandfather’s mouth.

It was not the first time he heard his grandfather mention Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing being together. It was amazing when he mentioned their young ages. He heard from his grandfather in the capital that the Yuwen family had long treated Chen Meng’er as their granddaughter-in-law. It seemed that Yuwen Jing’s family had long recognized Chen Meng’er.

Moreover, Xu Zhengle did not think that his friend, Su Jinming, had the ability to snatch Chen Meng’er from Yuwen Jing’s hands.

Qiu Kaifeng, who did not understand what was going on, was not convinced after listening to Xu Zhengle’s words. Although he did not agree with Su Jinming being together with Chen Meng’er, it was because he did not want his friend commit to a relationship so early. However, Xu Zhengle’s words, made him unable to help but help Su Jinming retort, “Le, are you still Jinming’s friend? What do you mean there’s no possibility between him and Chen Meng’er? Yes, Chen Meng’er is the young lady of the Green Gang, but Jinming is not bad either. He is the heir of the Su family.”

“Qiu Kaifeng, that’s not what I meant.” Qiu Kaifeng’s words made Xu Zhengle a little angry. He turned his head to look at Su Jinming, who had been silent the whole time, and said, “Jinming, do you know what I mean?”

Su Jinming, who had kept his head lowered and did not speak, raised his head and looked at Xu Zhengle with a smile. Then, he reached out and patted Xu Zhengle’s shoulder, he said, “Le, I understand what you mean. Actually, I also know in my heart that the gap between me and her is very clear. It’s impossible for me to be with her.” And it was precisely because he knew that it was impossible for him to be with her that Su Jinming was in so much pain during this period of time.

He knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to be together. His rationality told him to forget about her, but he couldn’t do it no matter how hard he tried. Her smile would appear in his mind from time to time, causing him to unconsciously look for an opportunity to be able to see her again. Just by watching from afar, he felt very satisfied in his heart.

Xu Zhengle, who grew up with Su Jinming, saw Su Jinming’s smile and his heart skipped a beat. He knew that this time, Su Jinming was really stuck.

Looking at Su Jinming, who was obviously smiling but had a sense of sadness in his bones, Xu Zhengle’s heart ached, he couldn’t help but want to throw caution to the wind and say to Su Jinming, “Jinming, it’s not a foregone conclusion. Why don’t you give it a try?” However, Xu Zhengle’s rationality was still there, so he swallowed his words.

This was because he knew that if Su Jinming continued to charge forward regardless, Su Jinming would be the one to be injured in the end. When that time came, Su Jinming wouldn’t be so simple as to reveal his sadness.

On the other hand, Qiu Kaifeng, who was more impulsive, couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Jinming, if you really like Chen Meng’er, we will support you. Go ahead and chase after her.”

After Qiu Kaifeng finished speaking, Xu Zhengle loudly berated, “Qiu Kaifeng.”

Su Jinming and the others had made quite a commotion. As for Su Jinming, Xu Zhengle, and Qiu Kaifeng, they could be considered as the sons of influential families in the capital city. Usually, everyone would fawn over them when they saw them, so their every move was also the target of everyone’s attention.

Those who didn’t know Chen Meng’er were extremely curious. They were all guessing who Chen Meng’er was and why Su Jinming was so concerned about her.
