The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(4)

 

**Chapter 4: Meeting**

Jiang Chenchen had already climbed up from the grass, seemingly unharmed.

Jiang Zhong's suppressed anger immediately erupted. He couldn't stand such unruly behavior, even if she was mentally ill!

He rushed over, intending to give her a slap. Zhang Lanmei followed behind, unable to stop him, and shouted loudly, "Ah Zhong, don't hit her! You can't!"

Jiang Jie'er, hiding in the corner of the room upstairs, watched everything with indifference.

Jiang Zhong's hand didn't have time to retract; it had already struck.

However, Jiang Chenchen took two steps back, avoiding his slap.

Her movements were quick, imperceptible; he couldn't see how she avoided it.

Zhang Lanmei grabbed his hand. "Luckily, it didn't hit her. Her face can't withstand your slap. If she had bruises on her face, how could she face others?"

Jiang Zhong only realized then; fortunately, he didn't hit her.

But it seemed like she dodged it. What was wrong with this silly niece?

"Chenchen, are you okay?"

Zhang Lanmei blocked Jiang Zhong from approaching and looked at Jiang Chenchen. She took her hand and examined it, finding only a few scratches from the grass, thankfully.

She sighed in relief. "Child, you can't do this in the future. It's very dangerous, you know?"

Jiang Chenchen allowed her to examine her, pat off the grass leaves on her body, and comforted her in a soft voice.

She showed no expression at all.

Zhang Lanmei also sighed; how could a silly child understand what was right or wrong?

After this incident, Jiang Zhong locked that window, afraid that she would climb on the roof again. He also didn't let her go out, only allowing her to stay in her room. They locked the door from the outside, providing only three meals a day.

"Ah Zhong, are you going too far?"

"I can't stand all that trouble. We'll talk about everything after the formal meeting."

Three days passed quickly.

Zhang Lanmei specially dressed up Jiang Chenchen. Despite her dull expression, she was very beautiful. They were sure that a girl like her would catch someone's eye.

Jiang Jie'er hurriedly came over, smiling, "Mom, I also want to meet that son of the Li family. What does he look like?"

Zhang Lanmei frowned, "Nonsense. Don't be so cheeky. Focus on your studies at home! You're in your senior year, can't you be more serious?"

She kept talking, and Jiang Jie'er immediately surrendered, "Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go."

Jiang Zhong urged from downstairs, and Zhang Lanmei quickly responded, "Coming, coming down."

Before getting in the car, Jiang Zhong looked at Jiang Chenchen with emotion. "If she weren't mentally ill, her appearance would be more than enough to marry into a wealthy family."

After getting in the car, they went to a restaurant.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were satisfied when they saw Jiang Chenchen. Although she seemed a bit foolish, she wasn't crazy. Being with their son was just right, and he wouldn't be bullied.

"Does this child not speak?"

Jiang Zhong awkwardly smiled, "Mr. Li, since her parents passed away in an accident when she was young, she has been traumatized and almost completely closed off, not speaking. But she doesn't make trouble, and she's obedient. She matches well with the young master."

Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded with smiles.

Mrs. Li looked at her son affectionately. Pitying him for being born with a disability, he had suffered a lot from childhood to adulthood. Now that he was almost thirty, they couldn't wait any longer; hence, they needed to find someone for him.

Although they initially considered Jiang Zhong's daughter, the current girl seemed good enough.

Mr. Li said, "Old Jiang, if this works out, I will help you solve the crisis in your company, and we can settle the debts as well."
