While driving, Chen Cheng asked casually:

"What did you do today?"

"Huh?" Jiang Nansun paused for a moment, "Oh, I went to the construction site."

Construction site?

Songjiang Hotel, isn't Wang Yongzheng there too?

Chen Cheng's lips curled into a playful smile. He turned his head to look at her and teased, "You went to the construction site with a full face of makeup?"

Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at him, "I'm an architect. Going to the construction site is just to check the site, not to pour concrete."

"What does that have to do with wearing makeup?"

"Besides, the main structure of the Songjiang Hotel is finished, and they are currently doing decoration and installation work."

"It's not as dirty as you think."

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes, "Didn't go to take down the air conditioning hangers?"

Jiang Nansun was stunned, "Why would I go to take down hangers? Isn't that the HVAC specialist's job?"

Chen Cheng's lips curved slightly; reality was still a bit better than the TV show, as it wouldn't make an architect go to the construction site to take down HVAC hangers.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Nothing."

Jiang Nansun pouted and explained, "When we go to the construction site, it's just to see if the construction site is strictly following the design intent."

"If there are any problems, we can communicate on-site with the construction party and the owner."

"If it can't be solved on-site, we record it."

Chen Cheng thought about it, if that's the case.

Then the incident in the plot where Wang Yongzheng changed the paint would be impossible.

Because even if he is the design representative, he has no authority to change the owner's procurement.

The design party only has the right to suggest, where would they get the right to execute?

In the show, they actually changed the paint that had already arrived.

And they changed it themselves without permission.

Was Wang Yongzheng paying for this new paint?

Without even needing the owner's permission?

Back to the main topic.

Before long, the two arrived at the alley on Fuxing Road, and Chen Cheng was about to drive the car to the entrance of Jiang Nansun's house.

Jiang Nansun spoke up to stop him, "Don't, just park at your own door."

"It's still early, they haven't slept yet, and if they see the lights, they will definitely come out to ask questions."

Chen Cheng glanced at the Jiang Family house at the end of the alley, where the lights were still on, and nodded.

He parked the car at the entrance of his own courtyard.

Just as Jiang Nansun was about to get out of the car, Chen Cheng teased, "No goodnight kiss for your boyfriend?"

Jiang Nansun turned her head in horror to look at Chen Cheng, a blush appearing on her fair face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she glared fiercely at Chen Cheng, "Will you die if you don't tease me?"

A satisfied smile hung on Chen Cheng's face.

Watching her be shy, for some reason, Chen Cheng felt a different kind of pleasure.

"Hmph~"

Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at him, pushed open the car door, and got out.

Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't move, she leaned over to look at Chen Cheng in the driver's seat.

"Aren't you getting out of the car?"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her, "Mind your own business."

Jiang Nansun pouted, closed the car door, and walked away.

Looking at the alley illuminated by the car lights, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes and looked back.

She happened to see Chen Cheng resting his head on his hand, sitting lazily in the driver's seat watching her.

In that instant, an uncontrollable smile curled at the corners of Jiang Nansun's mouth.

Turning her head back to continue walking home, her expression changed again, and she muttered, "Jiang Nansun, wake up, you have a boyfriend, you cannot betray Zhang Anren."

Walking to the entrance, Jiang Nansun did not enter the house immediately.

Instead, she stood at the entrance and hid herself in a position that Chen Cheng couldn't see.

It wasn't until the car lights went out that she breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood at the entrance and looked at the figure who got out of the car and walked into the courtyard.

After the figure disappeared for a while, Jiang Nansun finally came back to her senses.

She glanced at the situation in the living room, took a breath, pushed the door open, and walked in.

The house belonging to the Jiang Family is at the end of this alley and has no courtyard; the entrance door faces the alley directly.

Standing at the entrance, one can see the situation in the living room through the window.

This building originally had a courtyard, which is the section of the alley at the entrance.

Because part of the property rights for this building is still in the hands of others, the courtyard has been used as a public walkway, and it gradually became part of the small alley.

The three members of the Jiang Family are currently sitting in the living room watching TV.

Jiang Pengfei is accompanying the Old Madam, saying "Mom~" "Mom~" with every breath, coaxing the Old Madam until she couldn't be happier.

And Dai Yin is sitting on the other end of the sofa, looking at her phone absent-mindedly.

Hearing the movement of the door opening, all three of them turned their heads.

As soon as Jiang Pengfei saw that it was Jiang Nansun who had returned, his temper flared up instantly.

He shouted at Jiang Nansun: "Didn't you say you weren't coming back?"

At dinner time, Jiang Pengfei asked Dai Yin when Jiang Nansun would be back.

Dai Yin said, 'She won't be back tonight, and she won't be living here in the future either.'

'I'm the one who asked her to move out. If you have any objections, then I'll move out too.'

She shut Jiang Pengfei down completely.

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Nansun knew that her message had been sent in vain.

Her mother hadn't asked anything.

Jiang Nansun let out a breath, changed her shoes, and then walked over unhurriedly, facing Jiang Pengfei, who was huffing and puffing with his hands on his hips.

"I came back just to ask how much money you actually lost on your stocks?" Seeing his bossy manner, Jiang Nansun was instantly furious.

It was exactly the same as when he hit her this morning.

Jiang Nansun swallowed, "I'll leave as soon as I'm done asking."

Jiang Pengfei frowned immediately; how could this girl ask such a question?

However, he couldn't just admit that he lost money. His voice grew louder and louder, using his tone to cover up his guilty conscience.

Almost roaring, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting every day?"

"I've been trading stocks for decades, how could I lose money?"

How could he lose money?

"Heh~" Jiang Nansun sneered, you really don't learn your lesson.

We just argued this morning, and you've already forgotten?

Seeing his "dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water" attitude, Jiang Nansun thought for a moment and said, "Chen Cheng told me that a father wouldn't let his daughter be a stepmother unless he was at the end of his rope."

"Huu~" Jiang Nansun took a deep breath, "So how much did you actually lose?"

Jiang Pengfei panicked instantly, his thoughts spinning rapidly.

Seeing Jiang Nansun say this, a sharp light flashed in the Old Madam's eyes.

She looked up at Jiang Pengfei, then at Jiang Nansun, and asked, "And who is this Chen Cheng?"

Jiang Nansun glanced at the flustered Jiang Pengfei, "He is a part-time teacher at our school's School of Economics and Management."

"He is also the founder of Zhencheng Capital."

"Zhencheng Capital is a multinational private equity firm."

"It is one of the best funds in the industry."

"And Teacher Chen was recently on the cover of Time Magazine."

The Old Madam smacked her lips, roughly understanding the weight of this.

She looked up at Jiang Pengfei and said calmly, "How much did you lose?"

"Oh, mom, why are you getting involved too," Jiang Pengfei was instantly anxious, squeezing over to hug the Old Madam.

The Old Madam clearly didn't buy this, looking at him coldly, "How much did you lose?"

"Oh, I didn't lose much. It's just tied up, and when the market improves in a while, it will naturally be untied."

Jiang Nansun snorted, "Do you dare to show us your stock account?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Jiang Nansun, but the Old Madam and Dai Yin also turned their gazes toward him.
