Chen Cheng smiled and extended his hand. "Uncle Jiang, our last meeting was a bit rushed, so I didn't get to introduce myself properly."

"Aside from my part-time job at school, I also have a private equity fund, Zhencheng Capital."

Jiang Pengfei's hand, which was shaking Chen Cheng's, froze. "Zhencheng..."

Isn't this the super private equity fund rumored in the stock trading groups?

Suddenly, Jiang Pengfei's eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Cheng.

"Uncle Jiang," Chen Cheng reminded him. Jiang Pengfei snapped back to reality and released Chen Cheng's hand.

Li Yifan seized the opportunity to walk over and hand him a business card.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Li Yifan. I'm a private investor and occasionally do stock commentary on TV."

Stock commentary?

As soon as this profession was mentioned, Chen Cheng found it hard to keep a straight face.

No wonder Jiang Pengfei eventually jumped off a building.

Finding a stock commentator to set up on a blind date with his daughter—he was truly desperate.

These people are just mouthpieces for the market manipulators behind the scenes. Listening to their analysis only leads to getting fleeced.

Given the Jiang Family's original assets, he was probably the top whale in those stock trading groups.

Plus, having a beautiful daughter—otherwise, he might not have even been able to book Li Yifan, a broker who has already made his way into the inner circles.

Chen Cheng smiled faintly and did not take his business card.

"Hello."

Li Yifan's hand, holding the business card, froze in place.

However, he was an old hand, so he replied "Hello" to cover up his embarrassment.

He knew very well that in front of Chen Cheng, he had no room to throw a tantrum.

Chen Cheng scanned both their faces with a playful look. "Uncle Jiang, what is this about today?"

"Oh..." Before Jiang Pengfei could explain, Li Yifan spoke up first. "Mr. Chen, it's like this. Mr. Jiang had some investment questions to discuss with me, so we arranged to have a meal together."

"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to know you, Mr. Chen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to analyze the economic situation with him."

As he spoke, an awkward smile appeared on Li Yifan's face.

By now, Jiang Pengfei and Dai Yin had caught on to something.

This Li Yifan, who looked so imposing and well-mannered, seemed a bit reserved upon seeing Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng smiled. "Oh, so that's how it is."

Li Yifan reacted quickly, checking his watch before looking at Jiang Pengfei. "Mr. Jiang, we've talked enough. Shall we end it here for today?"

"Ah, okay, I'll see you out."

"No need, Mr. Jiang."

The couple, Jiang Pengfei and his wife, still saw Li Yifan out.

After all, with the blind date turning out like this, the couple felt a bit embarrassed.

After the three of them left the private room, Chen Cheng wore a mischievous smile, leaned down, and breathed into Jiang Nansun's ear, "You owe me another one."

Jiang Nansun blushed instantly and acted shamelessly. "So I owe you, so what?"

Seeing her cute, coquettish look, Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. Keep owing, you'll have plenty of time to pay me back.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to leave?"

Jiang Nansun thought for a moment. "Are you going back to Fuxing Road?"

Chen Cheng's mind raced, thinking lightning-fast. Eleven? Or Jiang Nansun? Screw it, there's no sleeping plan for Jiang Nansun tonight anyway.

"I am going back, but I drove a four-seater today."

Jiang Nansun shook her head. "No, never mind my mom and the others, they'll go back on their own. I mean, can we go back later?"

Chen Cheng's lips curved upward. "Don't want to go back and continue being interrogated?"

"Hmm." Jiang Nansun nodded. After thinking, she added, "Suo Suo should be off work by now. How about I call Suo Suo, and we go to a livehouse?"

"My treat!"

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and changed the subject. "Don't you feel like something is wrong?"

"Huh?" Jiang Nansun was stunned and turned her head to look at him.

"This Li Yifan isn't young anymore, is he?"

Jiang Nansun nodded. "Yeah, he's forty, and his child is already in elementary school."

Chen Cheng coaxed her. "With your family's background, why would they let you become someone's stepmother?"

"Although I don't like Zhang Anren, it's still better than being a stepmother."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Nansun's eyes widened.

"You should observe carefully. Is your family in trouble? Otherwise, you might get sold out by your dad without even knowing it."

Hmm? Jiang Nansun's face instantly turned bitter. "No way, could it just be that they don't like Zhang Anren?"

Guided by Chen Cheng, Jiang Nansun quickly thought of several possibilities.

"Gulp." Jiang Nansun even swallowed nervously.

Chen Cheng smiled. "Then do you like Zhang Anren?"

Jiang Nansun leaned back tactically. "What kind of question is that? Zhang Anren is my boyfriend, okay?"

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly, and he didn't respond directly.

As the two were chatting, Eleven actually walked in. Seeing Jiang Nansun holding Chen Cheng's arm, her expression tightened.

Jiang Nansun noticed her gaze and finally realized she hadn't let go of Chen Cheng's arm.

She hurriedly let go. In an instant, her pretty face turned as red as a monkey's butt, feeling very embarrassed.

She was so used to holding it that she hadn't even noticed.

Chen Cheng also felt a bit awkward. It must have been that they had been out too long, and Eleven had come looking for them and found them here.

Eleven walked up to Chen Cheng.

"Eleven," Jiang Nansun started to greet her.

But she was interrupted by Eleven's cold tone. "Boss, I've already paid the bill."

As she spoke, she handed the bill in her hand to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng sighed, knowing that tonight was ruined.

He reached out to take the bill and waved his hand. "You take a taxi back first, leave the car for me."

Eleven's eyes widened. You really have the nerve to say that.

Thinking about it, he really did say it.

I'm just his Bodyguard, not his girlfriend.

Eleven nodded huffily. "Fine, then I'll go first."

"Don't overdo the thing I told you about."

Eleven rolled her eyes, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Jiang Nansun breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Chen Cheng, "What's wrong with Eleven? Why is her temper so flared?"

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. You really have no idea.

Chen Cheng shrugged 'innocently'. "How would I know?"

Jiang Nansun pouted. "Sigh, why haven't my dad and the others come back yet?"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes. "Is it possible they're asking Li Yifan about me?"

"Huh?" Jiang Nansun was stunned. That really is possible.

If not one hundred percent, there's at least an eighty percent chance.

Jiang Nansun pushed Chen Cheng. "Let's go, hurry up."

"Otherwise, when they come back, they'll start trying to play matchmaker again."

Chen Cheng's lips curved upward. He raised his hand and rested it on Jiang Nansun's shoulder. "Listening to my girlfriend."

A flush immediately spread across Jiang Nansun's fair face. She slapped his hand away. "I have a boyfriend, don't get handsy."

"Careful, or I'll report you for sexual harassment."

Chen Cheng chuckled and imitated her tone, lifting his chin in a haughty manner, his voice sounding a bit affected. "Careful, or I'll report you for sexual harassment~"

After saying that, he lifted his legs and walked forward quickly.

"Chen Cheng!" Jiang Nansun's eyes widened, her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly chased after him. "How dare you tease me!"
