Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1486 -1476: Unclear and Ambiguous

Jiang Cheng looked at Elder Xu’s appearance, and suddenly understood everything. Elder Xu, no matter how formidable he was, ultimately had to defer to the big boss.

Indeed, as the boss said, joining the army involves hardship and fatigue. But once you get out, your status is untouchable. Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng’s lips curled into a helpless smile.

Looking at Elder Xu’s curious baby-like expression, he still nodded. Elder Xu saw Jiang Cheng’s nod and internally sighed with relief, luckily it was no issue.

He didn’t want to have any entanglement with the boss’s people. Because he knew well, the boss’s identity was something he couldn’t afford to provoke.

Today he initially wanted to introduce Jiang Cheng to various circles of people, and also take the chance to publicize Jiang Cheng and Ying’Er’s relationship, but who knew things would turn out like this.

Actually, as long as he publicized the relationship. Ying’Er and Jiang Cheng would have to comply. Thinking of this, Elder Xu’s lips curled into a smile, as if everything was already calculated.

Jiang Cheng looked at Elder Xu’s lewd smile, a bad feeling rose from his heart. But he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Elder Xu looked meaningfully at Jiang Cheng’s back. Jiang Cheng followed Elder Xu’s gaze and turned his head, only to see Liu Yu staring at him intently.

Jiang Cheng turned his head indifferently and shrugged. He never cared to compete with such people. On the contrary, Elder Xu in front of Jiang Cheng, threw Liu Yu a knowing glance.

“What’s going on between you and Liu Yu?” Elder Xu frowned at Liu Yu and then turned to ask. Liu Yu looked at him with disdain and shrugged saying: “Maybe it’s because of Xu Ying!”

Elder Xu nodded knowingly but didn’t say anything.

Suddenly, a round of applause erupted from the crowd, Elder Xu turned his head. Jiang Cheng quickly took the opportunity to find a quieter corner to slip into, but there were still people nearby.

Another quieter corner was next to Liu Yu. Although what happened outside wasn’t talked about, everyone was smart enough to avoid Liu Yu.

Liu Yu stood awkwardly looking around, then threw Jiang Cheng a hateful glance. In fact, there were many people coveting beauties like Xu Ying, but not everyone was as brainless as Liu Yu.

“Ahem, I’m very happy to have received the host’s invitation to speak, I won’t say much, enjoy yourselves,” a familiar voice reached Jiang Cheng’s ears, Jiang Cheng looked up to see the boss standing in the middle of the hall.

The boss clearly saw Jiang Cheng’s gaze, raised an eyebrow in Jiang Cheng’s direction, and Jiang Cheng chuckled softly, lowering his gaze. The boss also glanced away.

However, this silent interaction was noticed by many observing people, making people increasingly curious about Jiang’s identity. Naturally, this included Elder Xu.

The boss swirled the wine glass in his hand, the strong liquor clearly couldn’t captivate the boss. Elder Xu stood in front of the boss like a child knowing not where to put his hands and feet, eyes filled with a hint of nervousness.

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” the boss looked at Elder Xu with interest, then downed the strong liquor in his glass.

“You have a connection with that kid Jiang Cheng?” Elder Xu looked at the boss expectantly, despite the blank expression on the boss’s face.

The boss heard this and stared at Elder Xu for a few seconds, then burst into laughter, staring at Jiang Cheng playing on his phone in the distance, saying: “You mean that kid.”

The teasing in the words made Elder Xu more confused, with a bit of panic. If Jiang Cheng was related to this person, it might complicate Ying’Er’s intentions.

“No!” uttered the boss, Elder Xu sighed in relief. At least Ying’Er still had hope, if related to this person, his little calculations would need shelving.

“But, you better keep an eye on this person. He is quite a genius!” the boss put the glass aside, smiled at Jiang Cheng, turned and walked away, leaving Elder Xu helplessly dumbstruck.

Elder Xu glanced over, Jiang Cheng sat at the table, savoring the wine and eating the dishes.

The dishes indeed tasted nice, accompanied by good wine, truly a feast. Life is short, one should enjoy themselves, why not eat and drink to one’s content.

Just as Jiang Cheng was completely immersed in the feast, a dark silhouette suddenly blocked the light, Jiang Cheng turned his head to see it was none other than Liu Yu.

Liu Yu stood there straight, holding a wine glass: “Jiang Cheng, earlier we had some misunderstandings, let me toast you, we are all men and shouldn’t fuss over trivialities, hoping for you to be generous and let bygones be bygones. At this point, if Jiang Cheng still holds grudges, it would seem petty, displeasing. Moreover, in that conflict, Jiang Cheng didn’t suffer, he actually benefited.”

Jiang Cheng picked up the decanter, filled his glass, and stood up, clinking glasses with Liu Yu, saying: “Let bygones be bygones,” then directly downed the glass in one go.

Liu Yu, being straightforward, also downed his drink without leaving a drop in the glass.

“Jiang Cheng, I sincerely wish you and Xu Ying happiness and bliss, growing old together,” Liu Yu sincerely blessed Jiang Cheng, his gaze reflecting honesty.

Jiang Cheng was suddenly puzzled, wondering how Liu Yu suddenly made a 180-degree change, guessing perhaps Liu Yu hoped Jiang Cheng to be happy. Since he couldn’t get it, he blessed them, which is most men’s choice, unlike women who become rivals, complain, curse, cry, argue, relentless, a headache to think of. First, I thank you for the blessing, but it’s inaccurate, because I’m not in any special relationship with Xu Ying,” Jiang Cheng said calmly, feeling Xu Ying meant nothing to him, almost like a stranger.

So calm, like the Dead Sea.

“What!” Liu Yu was also shocked, the query sounded loud enough to turn heads towards them.

Appalled not only was Liu Yu but also Xu Ying, because Xu Ying sat beside Jiang Cheng, upon hearing Liu Yu’s blessing, felt blissed like immersed in a honey pot.

She was a bit unnatural, face flushed, using her fingers to tuck her hair behind her ears.

But upon hearing Jiang Cheng say they had no relationship, her body trembled slightly, the boiling warm heart pierced ruthlessly, causing Xu Ying piercing pain.

From honeyed joy to Arctic isolation, she felt confused, bitter as if about to spit blood.

Xu Ying stood, ran out quickly, the thin figure stabbing pain watching Liu Yu.

“Wait, I’ll be back for you,” Liu Yu left this for Jiang Cheng and chased out, truly worried about Xu Ying’s well-being.

Emotions are complex, one loves another who doesn’t love back, reciprocally hurting and entangling, unclear, ambiguous.
