Jiang Long frowned and looked at Jiang Xue, "Don't swear."
Then, he smiled at Chen Jie, "I didn't expect you to be engaged to Miss Wang. Then Miss Zhang, and Miss Yang, are they also..."
Chen Jie nodded, "Uncle, you guessed right. Zhang Xinyan and Yang Siqing are both engaged to me."
Jiang Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "I've never met such a shameless person! So many young ladies are engaged to you. Does that mean all women have to revolve around you?"
Chen Jie frowned, "Jiang Xue, there are many things you don't know. Please don't question others with your ignorance."
Jiang Xue's face stiffened, and she snorted coldly.
This brat dared to call her ignorant.
Originally, she had considered giving Chen Jie a chance to be her puppy-dog admirer, but now, she had completely lost that thought.
It was Jiang Long, however, who grudgingly believed Chen Jie's engagement to Wang Xiaoyan. He said with a smile, "Chen Jie, you have no family in Pingcheng. If you marry her alone, you'll be looked down upon."
"How about this? I'm your father's friend, after all. Since you have no other relatives, I'll stand in as your elder and propose to the Wang family on your behalf. If you have nowhere to live, you can stay with Miss Wang at my place first."
Chen Jie felt a warmth in his heart. He knew Jiang Long was genuinely concerned for him.
"Uncle Jiang, although I'm engaged to Wang Xiaoyan, it's not a done deal yet! If she truly accepts me, there are conditions!" Chen Jie said with a smile.
Jiang Long's eyes lit up, "Oh? What conditions are needed?"
"That is, three days from now, I will resolve the Zhou family! If I cannot resolve the Zhou family, the Wang family will not accept me."
Chen Jie wasn't foolish. He knew that even if Wang Xiaoyan was the CEO of Wang Corporation, she couldn't have her way entirely. If he couldn't demonstrate sufficient strength, her family would definitely not accept him.
"What?" Jiang Long's expression turned grim.
What kind of condition was this?
Wasn't this clearly making things difficult for him?
How could Chen Jie, alone, resolve the Zhou family?
Hearing Chen Jie say this, Jiang Long knew their engagement was unreliable. The Wang family clearly didn't want to acknowledge this engagement and had set this condition.
It was likely that even if Chen Jie truly managed to resolve the Zhou family's issue, the Wang family would find other excuses to reject the marriage.
Because you can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep.
"You, resolve the Zhou family? If Miss Wang hadn't sent people to save you today, it's a question whether you would have survived. Don't you understand yet? They simply don't want to fulfill the engagement with you!"
Jiang Long understood this logic, and Jiang Xue naturally did too.
She pierced through his facade without mercy.
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Long snapped.
"I'm speaking the truth! It's questionable whether he can survive in Pingcheng. Dad, we should just kick him out, so he doesn't drag us down!" Jiang Xue sneered.
Chen Jie shook his head. To ordinary people, what they said was indeed correct.
However, he had reason to believe that Wang Xiaoyan, after learning of his abilities, wasn't intentionally making things difficult for him but rather believed he was capable of handling this matter.
Chen Jie looked at Jiang Long and still said, "Uncle Jiang, Jiang Xue is right. I should leave to avoid implicating you."
"You're quite self-aware!" Jiang Xue sneered.
Jiang Long raged, "What nonsense are you spouting? If I kick you out now, are we still human? Chen Jie, your relatives are not here, we are your family. Now that you're in trouble, we should stand together with you and overcome the difficulties! Moreover, didn't you help us when our family was in trouble earlier?"
"If not for Miss Wang, there's my daughter! Uncle won't let you be unmarried!"
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes. It was up to her whether she wanted to marry him or not!
"Since Uncle has said so, I will also give Uncle a promise. I will make the Jiang family one of the top families in society!"
Chen Jie pondered for a moment, touched.
With a puff, Jiang Xue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Then she said dismissively, "You really dare to say that. Survive the wrath of the Zhou family first!"
Jiang Long didn't take Chen Jie's promise seriously either, but said awkwardly, "You stay here with me first. Uncle will think of a way for you."
Saying that, he handed Chen Jie a key, stood up, and said, "The second room upstairs is yours. Chat with Xiao Xue, I'm going out to do something."
Chen Jie naturally knew that he was going to find a solution for him.
However, with his capabilities, he probably wouldn't have any effective solutions.
He originally wanted to tell Jiang Long that he would settle accounts with the Zhou family in three days, but seeing Jiang Long's enthusiasm, he didn't want to dampen his spirits.
So, he nodded.
Soon, only Jiang Xue and Chen Jie were left in the living room.
Chen Jie couldn't help but size up Jiang Xue.
Admittedly, besides her spoiled temper, Jiang Xue's character wasn't bad. If it were someone else, upon hearing they were staying at their home, they would have probably kicked him out long ago.
This was probably due to Chen Jie saving their entire family today.
Jiang Xue's mouth was just a bit too sharp, which was very similar to Wu Li.
And Jiang Xue had successfully inherited the strengths of both Jiang Long and Wu Li. Her body was exceptionally beautiful, youthful, and energetic, completely different from Wang Xiaoyan.
Wang Xiaoyan was gentle with an overbearing nature of someone in power, while Jiang Xue was a pure and petulant type.
Now that the man and woman were alone in the house, Jiang Xue felt Chen Jie's gaze and instantly jumped up from the sofa.
She yelled at Chen Jie, "Take away those lewd eyes of yours! If you dare to do anything to me! I'll make you regret it!"
"You're too self-absorbed!" Chen Jie said plainly.
"Don't think I don't know what filthy thoughts are going on in your mind! Disgusting! Ugh..." Jiang Xue made a vomiting gesture, then pulled the blanket on the sofa over her hips and cautiously ran upstairs.
"Jiang Long, you scumbag, why didn't you take off my underwear? Can't you see a pool of blood? Are you blind?"
As soon as Jiang Xue left, Wu Li emerged from the bedroom, groggy with sleep, cursing.
At the same time, she threw the blood-stained underwear, torn by Jiang Bei, towards Chen Jie's face.
Chen Jie frowned, caught it, and then threw it back at her face, saying unceremoniously, "See who I am!"
"You little brat, why are you still at my place?" Wu Li tilted her head, saw Chen Jie, and immediately said angrily.
"Where's Jiang Long?"
Chen Jie shook his head, feeling a surge of annoyance, but didn't bother arguing with her, "I don't know."
"Go, call a doctor for me! I've sprained my neck!" Wu Li ordered.
Chen Jie was furious. If he hadn't arrived in time today, Wu Li would have been beaten half to death.
And she still dared to be disrespectful to him?
With a thought, Chen Jie figured that since he had promised Jiang Long to discipline them, he would give her a lesson.
So he smiled and said, "Aunt Wu, I can cure this kind of illness."
