Chapter 150: Keeping a Secret and Sleeping During the Exam
Chu Xiyan was in a bad mood. After thinking for a while, she said, "Xia Wanwan, you still need to accompany me."
Xia Wanwan was shocked, "Are you crazy?!"
"Jiang Mian cheated on Cheng Ye, this is a fact." Chu Xiyan said firmly, "As Cheng Ye's fiancée, I should bear the responsibility of exposing her hypocritical true face."
Xia Wanwan waved her hands unhappily, "I won't go, even if you kill me. Besides, Xiyan, do you know Jiang Mian as well as Cheng Ye does?"
"You hated Cheng Ye so much at the beginning that you didn't treat him as your fiancé. It's too late to try to keep him now!" Xia Wanwan thought Chu Xiyan was daydreaming. "Anyway, I'm not going. You go if you want to go."
Xia Wanwan was desperate, "Our Xia family has gone bankrupt because of Jiang Mian. Now all we have left is our lives and the funds in China that need to be transferred."
"You let me go, and you let me die, what's the difference?!" Xia Wanwan snorted coldly, "Xiyan, please let me go quickly, I really need to take care of things."
Chu Xiyan frowned, "If you don't go as a witness, how can I expose Jiang Mian's true face?"
"No, didn't Jiang Mian just hide the truth about his great strength?" Xia Wanwan expressed her incomprehension, "It doesn't count as touching Cheng Ye's bottom line, does it?! It's not like he cheated on her."
Chu Xiyan has a stubborn personality. "But she pretended to be weak, so she got the upper hand and became Cheng Ye's girlfriend. Don't you think it's weird?"
Xia Wanwan was upset. She sat on the sofa, feeling very upset.
"When I meet someone I like, what's wrong with having a little tea?" Xia Wanwan looked at the time on her watch irritably. She was almost dying of anxiety.
Every second she stayed in the country, her fear grew.
Xia Wanwan looked impatient, "She's not the kind of green tea who plays two girls at the same time. Xiyan, wake up! If Cheng Ye liked you, he would have confessed to you a long time ago!"
"Why are you still so stubborn? Cheng Ye likes Jiang Mian's type!" Xia Wanwan spoke a little aggressively.
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, clenched her hands, and her eyes showed determination, "I won't give up."
Xia Wanwan couldn't help but complain, "It's hopeless! I've said everything I need to say! Can I go now? Anyway, I can't go with you! You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you!"
If she had to die anyway, she would not choose the death that Jiang Mian would bring upon her! !
Chu Xiyan said helplessly: "Forget it, go away, I will think of other ways."
At least tonight wasn't completely a waste.
At least she knew Jiang Mian's true identity.
When Xia Wanwan heard that she could leave, she immediately fled from the Chu family's living room without saying a word, fearing that if she was a second slower, Chu Xiyan would regret it.
Chu Xiyan sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought for a long time.
Half an hour later, Chu's father, mother and old man all came back from the company.
Seeing that her daughter did not look well, Mother Chu hurried to Chu Xiyan's side and asked worriedly, "Xiyan, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered anything unhappy recently? Who provoked you? Mom will seek justice for you."
Chu's father and the old man of the Chu family also looked at Chu Xiyan nervously.
Chu Xiyan felt their concern, and her depressed mood finally improved a lot.
"I'm fine." Chu Xiyan said, "I just found out something that's not good for me tonight."
Father Chu immediately asked, "What bad things?"
The old man of the Chu family looked at Chu Xiyan's depressed face with heavy eyes.
Chu Xiyan didn't intend to hide it. She sent someone to bring Xia Wanwan to the Chu family. Finally, when she learned that Jiang Mian was the daughter of the Jiang family, she told the Chu family everything.
Chu's father and others were filled with disbelief.
Jiang Mian is actually the daughter of the Jiang family who has never appeared in the public eye? !
This is incredible.
The old man of the Chu family had had this suspicion before, when Cheng's father brought Cheng Fenghao over and showed him the physics competition ranking list.
He inadvertently noticed the name "Jiang Mian", but did not think of Jiang Mian as the daughter of the Jiang family.
You know, the Jiang family has been living overseas for many years and has rarely been active in the country.
What's more, with the Jiang family's daughter's academic talent, it is impossible for her to still be in high school.
He once thought that they just had the same surname.
But he never expected that Jiang Mian's family background was so powerful.
The old man of the Chu family looked solemn.
Not only the old man of the Chu family, but also Chu's father and mother had solemn expressions.
Originally, the Chu family wanted to promote the marriage between Cheng Ye and Chu Xiyan, and did not take Jiang Mian seriously at all.
The bloody facts told them that unless Jiang Mian gave up Cheng Ye on his own initiative, it would be almost impossible for Xiyan to marry Cheng Ye!
Father Chu sighed deeply, "Xiyan, it's too difficult to capture Cheng Ye. You should consider other boys."
Chu Xiyan's eyes widened, her tone full of dissatisfaction, "Dad, how can you persuade me to give up?! Cheng Ye and I were engaged to each other, and we were engaged before he was born!"
"According to the chronological order, I am the perfect match for Cheng Ye! Jiang Mian is a latecomer, why should she be with Cheng Ye!!"
Chu's father and mother looked at each other, and both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Xiyan, our Cheng family can't afford to offend the Jiang family, let alone Jiang Mian." Mother Chu said earnestly, "It would be wise to give up as soon as possible."
Chu Xiyan didn't listen to the advice, "No! I can't give up! If I hadn't given up, how would Jiang Mian have had the opportunity to contact Cheng Ye?! I was careless before! That gave Jiang Mian the opportunity!!"
The old man of the Chu family had a heavy expression on his face, and his words became serious, "Xi Yan, there are so many men in the world, there is no need to hang yourself on a tree. Since Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian are already in a relationship, if we break them up, it will only bring disadvantages to the Chu family."
Chu Xiyan's eyes turned red, and her voice trembled slightly, "Grandpa, you said there are so many men in the world, but there is only one perfect boy like Cheng Ye!"
"Most men are either good-looking but have no talent, or talented but look shabby, and quite a few even have neither good looks nor talent."
"Men who are both good-looking and talented are already very rare. Besides—" Chu Xiyan choked up when she said this, "there are also different levels of appearance and talent."
"Let's not talk about the rich young men, just talking about the entertainment industry where there are many handsome men, among all the famous stars or internet celebrities, no one looks better than Cheng Ye, and no one has a better body and height ratio than Cheng Ye."
"He is also talented. Cheng Ye is only 18 years old, but he has already won the first place in the final of the highly prestigious Global Mathematics Competition!!"
"It's not like there haven't been geniuses in previous math competitions, but there's really only one person like Cheng Ye."
Chu Xiyan became more and more disappointed as she spoke. "Now that Cheng Ye has set up a company, he is financially independent and can make a lot of money. This is another plus."
"There are probably only a handful of men in China who are as outstanding as Cheng Ye, right?" Chu Xiyan felt very uncomfortable, "Cheng Ye is my nominal fiancé."
"Taking all the advantages into account, the only boy who can perfectly meet my requirements for an ideal partner is Cheng Ye."
Chu's father and others were silent.
Xiyan was right. Cheng Ye had too many shining points. Picking out any one of them would make him instantly kill other boys.
However, in this situation, Cheng Ye’s girlfriend is Jiang Mian, the daughter of the Jiang family!
Cheng Ye is hard to conquer already, and his girlfriend is the daughter of Jiang family, so the difficulty of conquering him suddenly rises to hell level.
Chu's father, Chu's mother and the old man of the Chu family couldn't help feeling melancholy and regretful.
If Cheng Ye had just been taken back to the Cheng family, at that time, Cheng Ye had not yet achieved these achievements.
If they had been nicer to Cheng Ye, perhaps Cheng Ye's feelings would not have mattered to Jiang Mian.
Unfortunately, everything is just if.
There is no regret medicine in the world.
The past cannot be changed.
Not only did they not treat Cheng Ye well, they also often framed him at the instigation of Cheng Fenghao, and their attitude towards Cheng Ye was extremely bad.
Chu's father and others regretted their decision.
Chu Xiyan looked at them, with a hint of hope in her voice, "Do you support me?"
Father Chu pinched his brows in embarrassment, "Xiyan, Cheng Ye is too difficult to pursue. If things go wrong, it might offend Jiang Mian."
Chu's mother was also in a difficult situation. She began to comfort Chu Xiyan, "My daughter, I suggest you change your target. You used to have a mediocre relationship with him, unlike Jiang Mian, who became good friends with Cheng Ye from the beginning."
The old man of the Chu family felt very embarrassed. "Yes, of course we hope that you will marry him, but we have to consider the reality."
Hearing this, Chu Xiyan was in a bad mood. "Why don't you encourage me? You just throw cold water on me. Forget it, I'll go upstairs and rest first."
After saying that, Chu Xiyan went up the stairs in a depressed mood.
She won't give up.
Downstairs, the Chu family was at a loss.
After Chu Xiyan climbed the stairs, she suddenly remembered something very important.
She turned back and stood at the stairs, and said to the Chu family seriously: "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Jiang Mian is the daughter of the Jiang family. Don't tell the Cheng family."
Father Chu's eyes flashed with confusion, "Why?"
Chu's mother and the old man of the Chu family looked up at Chu Xiyan.
Chu Xiyan took a deep breath and explained the reason, "Because once the Cheng family knows that Jiang Mian is the daughter of the Jiang family, they will definitely not take the marriage between the Cheng and Chu families seriously."
"After all, as for Cheng Fenghao, since he drugged me and his health is not good, the Cheng family knows it very well. I will not consider Cheng Fenghao anymore, but only Cheng Ye."
"The Cheng family didn't know that Jiang Mian was a daughter, so they wanted to promote the marriage between me and Cheng Ye. But once they knew that Jiang Mian was a daughter of the Jiang family, Cheng Ye and the daughter of the top-class Jiang family were still in a relationship."
Having said that, Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, a sense of insecurity arose, and her eyes became dim.
"The Cheng family has made some comparisons in their minds, and they are likely to choose the daughter of the Jiang family as their primary marriage partner."
"So, don't tell anyone and keep this secret for me. Xia Wanwan is busy with her own affairs and won't say anything in China. As long as you don't tell anyone, the Cheng family won't know the actual situation!"
After hearing what Chu Xiyan said, the old man of the Chu family couldn't help but frowned, "Xiyan, have you ever considered that Cheng Ye already knows about it. The two of them get along very well, maybe Cheng Ye knows Jiang Mian's identity in advance."
"As for whether the Cheng family knows, if Jiang Mian reveals his identity, the Cheng family will know everything."
The old man of the Chu family stroked his beard and solemnly reminded Chu Xiyan, "Xiyan, Jiang Mian's identity will be known to everyone sooner or later. It's only a matter of time."
"What will you do then?" The old man of the Chu family felt sorry for his granddaughter.
Chu Xiyan was stunned and clenched her hands tightly.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, just don't tell anyone. Let's keep it a secret for as long as possible." Chu Xiyan returned to her bedroom with a proud and lonely back.
Father Chu smoked a cigarette in annoyance, "Cheng Ye is so lucky, how did he do it to make our Xiyan so obsessed with him?!"
