A few days later, Chen Cheng really heard the news that Jiang Pengfei and Dai Yin had divorced.

During this period, Dai Xi had tried to make an appointment with Chen Cheng again, but Chen Cheng chose to avoid meeting her.

He was busy and didn't have time to deal with her.

The debt restructuring for the Jiang Family had also been completed.

The house was sold to Chen Cheng's shell company for 70 million.

It was about 90% of the actual market value.

Chen Cheng also bought the portion belonging to the Old Madam, the neighbor who shared the courtyard with the Jiang Family, making it a complete courtyard.

The Old Madam's portion was smaller than Jiang Nansun's family's, so he paid 50 million according to the market price.

This matter was handled by Zhu Suosuo, but in reality, it was Yang Ke who facilitated the transaction.

She traded it for a large river-view flat in the same residential complex as Zhu Suosuo for 40 million, with 10 million left for her retirement.

The transaction plan was well-made, so Yang Ke didn't have to put much effort into persuading the Old Madam.

Chen Cheng mortgaged the Jiang Nansun family's house on Fuxing Road, having Zou Yu find Hu Yue at Shenmao Bank to handle it.

It was originally bought for 120 million, and after bridging the loan himself, he mortgaged it to Shenmao Bank and borrowed another 150 million.

In other words, from start to finish, Chen Cheng was using the bank's money.

He even had a surplus of 30 million from the mortgage loan.

This is finance; what was a sky-falling disaster for the Jiang Family was handled by Chen Cheng.

Although he took on a 150 million loan, he obtained the Jiang Nansun family's house, resolved their debt crisis, and still had 30 million left over to pay off the loan for a long time.

While winning the beauty's heart, Jiang Nansun was also deeply grateful to him.

She, who had been very resistant to playing Fight the Landlord, had been having a great time playing with Chen Cheng these past two days and had even learned quite a bit.

With Zhu Suosuo as her good best friend, she didn't even need Chen Cheng to teach her the theory when playing cards; she could go straight to practice.

Practice is good; practice makes perfect.

And just like that, Princess Jiang's favorability rating was almost full.

On the Jiang Family's side, Jiang Nansun had reached an agreement with Jiang Pengfei and the Old Madam.

They were preparing to move out of Zhu Suosuo's 'boyfriend's' house in a few days.

Jiang Nansun already knew that the house had been bought by Chen Cheng for Zhu Suosuo to keep her hidden away like a mistress.

Chen Cheng didn't really have any objections to them continuing to live there.

But Jiang Nansun felt embarrassed to let her whole family, young and old, occupy her best friend's... well... house that was essentially bought by selling herself.

On the other hand, in order to let Jiang Pengfei adapt to the life of needing to pay off debts now, Jiang Nansun still chose to live a frugal life, asking Zhu Suosuo to have an agent find a three-bedroom apartment, and they were preparing to move in within the next two days.

Chen Cheng had also bought the two debt claims that the Jiang Family had extended.

That is to say, not only did Chen Cheng get the Jiang Family's house and the Jiang Family's daughter, but the Jiang Family also owed Chen Cheng over ten million.

Heh...

To act like a decent human being, Chen Cheng wasn't really planning on making Jiang Nansun pay him back.

Now, it was just the young couple playing a role for Jiang Pengfei.

Chen Cheng was in his office looking at documents when Jiang Nansun called.

Chen Cheng picked up the phone and answered, "It's only been a few hours, do you miss me already?"

While talking on the phone, his hands didn't stop flipping through the documents.

Sometimes Chen Cheng felt very fortunate that his System Daddy had given him the heaven-defying buff of eidetic memory.

With such high efficiency in handling work, he could have so much time to chase girls.

Recently, he basically just came to the office on Mondays to sign some documents and review some reports.

On the other end of the line, Jiang Nansun blushed and said shyly and angrily, "I do not!"

"Can't you be serious for once?"

"Am I not serious?"

Jiang Nansun was speechless. "Where are you serious?"

Chen Cheng chuckled. "At least my buddy is very straight!"

"Ahhhh~ Chen Cheng, go to hell!"

Jiang Nansun was about to go crazy. Talking to this person on the phone, he really couldn't go three sentences without making a dirty joke.

She had almost forgotten the serious matter at hand, and it took her a long time to remember. She let out a long sigh and spoke slowly:

"Um... do you have any plans tonight?"

Chen Cheng frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it. Even if I had plans, wouldn't I have to make time for my Princess Jiang?"

When Chen Cheng said this, a smile immediately appeared on the corners of Jiang Nansun's mouth, her eyes filled with charm, and she giggled twice.

"Hehe~ Um," Jiang Nansun lowered her voice and asked tentatively, "My mom is going to Italy with my aunt."

"She wants to meet you."

"I'm sorry, my aunt guessed that there was someone behind me."

"And then... then my mom found out."

"I explained that you are just a teacher at our school."

"We don't have any other relationship."

"But they don't believe it and are forcing me to ask you to come out so they can meet you before they leave."

Chen Cheng was stunned. I'm going to meet Dai Xi?

And with Jiang Nansun?

That would probably make for a very interesting expression on Dai Xi's face, wouldn't it?

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, the corners of his mouth curling up. "With that look of spring on your face every day, if you say it has nothing to do with a man, you might be able to fool a little girl."

"But trying to fool your mom and your aunt, those two old foxes, you're just too naive."

Jiang Nansun's fair cheeks instantly turned crimson. "Who..." She was too embarrassed to say the words, "Who has a look of spring..."

Chen Cheng chuckled and didn't tease her anymore. "Just your mom and your aunt?"

"What about your dad?"

"My dad went out to look for a job."

Chen Cheng widened his eyes. "Him? A job?"

Jiang Nansun giggled. "I told him that although I'm guaranteeing the remaining ten million plus, and it can be paid back slowly, it still has to be paid back."

"If he doesn't pay it back, I'll have to."

"I've hinted to him about 'not being able to think straight' and 'a father's debts being paid by his daughter'."

"He understood."

"His state is quite good now."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. "Did the divorce with your mom have no effect on him?"

Jiang Nansun shook her head. "They haven't just started talking about divorce today. It feels like he was mentally prepared for a long time, accepted it quickly, and is very calm."

"My aunt even gave me a sum of money today to send Grandma to a nursing home. I refused, and I didn't take the money either."

Chen Cheng, this Mythical creature known for attracting wealth, felt his addiction acting up again and blurted out, "Are you stupid? Free money, and you don't want it?"

On the other end of the line, Jiang Nansun proudly lifted her chin. "In this matter, I'm not stupid at all."

"My stupidity was that when our family was under the pressure of debt, I didn't ask to be kept as a mistress directly."

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. She had realized it, and was a bit jealous of Zhu Suosuo.

This made Chen Cheng burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~"

Jiang Nansun huffed and pouted, and Chen Cheng stopped laughing after a few chuckles. "It's not too late now."

"Get lost!"

Hearing this word, Chen Cheng held back his laughter and asked about the serious matter. "Send me the time and location."

"Are you coming?" Jiang Nansun asked in disbelief, then immediately added, "Don't worry, I didn't really tell my mom and them about our relationship."

"I just said you are a teacher at our school and I happened to take your class."

"And then asked for some advice on debt processing."

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up. She was quite sensible.

He smiled. "I'll come!" He then asked, "Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up when I go over?"

Jiang Nansun shook her head. "No need, we're eating at the hotel restaurant where my aunt is staying."

"I'm with them right now, we'll be heading back to the hotel in a while."

"Alright, then I'll be there on time."

The two chatted for a bit and hung up the phone.

Chen Cheng put down his phone and rested his chin on his hand, wondering what expression Dai Xi would have when she saw him.

If she knew that buddy was her 'nephew-in-law', would she still want to have a goodbye romp with buddy?
