Chapter 1432 - 1422: Righteous and Unyielding

"Go to hell, you." Xu Ying only gave a coy little scold and tossed a tissue ball at him. Gotta say, a great beauty is a great beauty—even rolling her eyes looks charming. Jiang Cheng had to admit, Xu Ying really was a very alluring woman.

Heh heh, I'm just joking. Come on, come on, I'll let you attack first. Jiang Cheng said with a grin. He was certain that even with her eyes closed, Xu Ying wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.

Sure enough, half an hour later—"I'm done, I'm done! This lady is done!" Xu Ying huffed, threw the mouse aside, and plopped down to the side.

In the past half hour, you could say Xu Ying had used every trick she had. She was convinced that with the intensity of the attack she'd just unleashed, she'd be able to crack the defense system of an entire region! But who would have thought she couldn't even break through the casual defense system Jiang Cheng had thrown together!

"Are you even human? You're such a freak!" Xu Ying pouted. In all her life she'd never encountered anyone this powerful. She'd already seen a bit of his skills before, but today she'd gotten an even more direct taste of it.

Heh heh, just luck, that's all. You're really good too—you're the second most formidable person I've ever met. Be satisfied. Jiang Cheng said sincerely. Xu Ying was indeed the most capable person Jiang Cheng had seen in this world. If he weren't proficient in network technology from several hundred years into the future, he really wouldn't dare guarantee he could beat her.

Oh? Second best? Then who's the best, Jin? Xu Ying asked as soon as she heard that, then continued, "Eating's all included, right? No problem. Playing's all included too, right?"

No problem.

"Okay then, while I'm in Yanbang these couple of days, I'll teach you a bit." Jiang Cheng agreed. Anyway, he was just hanging around Yanbang with nothing to do, so he might as well teach this little chick a few moves—consider it contributing to the region.

"Really?! That's awesome!" When Xu Ying heard that Jiang Cheng was willing to teach her, she got so excited she actually rushed up and threw her arms around him.

The moment she hugged Jiang Cheng, both of them froze. At that moment, Xu Ying didn't know whether to move or stay still, just hanging there with her arms around Jiang Cheng's neck, locked in this stalemate. This was mortifying! How could she do something like this?! It must be that she was too excited. Yes, she was just too excited, Xu Ying told herself.

"Um… could you let go of me now?" After quite a while, Jiang Cheng finally asked in a weak voice. The truth was he really didn't want to ask, because when Xu Ying was hugging him, those two very springy parts of her chest were pressed right against his own. That unbeatable sensation was something he was thoroughly enjoying. But if they didn't separate, Jiang Cheng was worried Elder Xu or someone else would see and say he was taking advantage of Xu Ying. Then he'd probably never be able to walk out of this estate.

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Xu Ying finally snapped back to her senses. "Ah, um, I'll go see if lunch is ready…" She let go of Jiang Cheng's neck, hurriedly found an excuse, and bolted. The place was filled with awkwardness; Xu Ying couldn't stand staying even one more second.

"Just wander around on your own." Xu Ying's voice floated in from outside the door. Seeing that she'd already gone far, Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "Has my charm gotten this potent already? I'm at the point where beauties are literally throwing themselves into my arms."

Thinking that he didn't really have anything else to do right now, Jiang Cheng followed Xu Ying's suggestion and started strolling around the estate by himself.

The estate was really huge. Jiang Cheng estimated it had to be at least the size of ten football fields. Sure, this was the outskirts, but it was still Yanbang, where every inch of land costs a fortune. From this alone, you could see just how powerful the Xu Family was.

Walking through the Xu Family estate, Jiang Cheng thought to himself that once he had money in the future, he'd definitely buy an estate like this—mountains, water, rivers; a beauty in his arms, delicious food in front of him, counting stacks of cash. How leisurely would that be? Just imagining it felt wonderful.

Just as Jiang Cheng was fantasizing, his phone rang. "Jiang Cheng, where are you? Time to eat!" The voice of the great beauty Xu Ying came from the other end. It still sounded a bit unnatural though, so it seemed she was still a little embarrassed about what had happened earlier.

A huge rotating round table, but only three people were seated: Elder Xu, Xu Ying, and Jiang Cheng.

"Elder Xu, with this many dishes and just the three of us eating, isn't that a bit wasteful…?" Jiang Cheng looked at the lavish spread of dishes in front of him with a hint of fear. Surely Elder Xu wasn't planning to make him finish all this, right?

"Don't worry, just eat as much as you can. It's all home-style dishes. Whatever's left we'll eat again tonight, so it won't be wasted." Elder Xu said with a laugh.

"Relax, Jiang Cheng. It's always like this at home. We cook a bit more for lunch, and at night we mostly eat leftovers. Grandpa says that now that life is good we shouldn't shortchange ourselves, but we also shouldn't overindulge, so this is how it is." Xu Ying explained. But her gaze toward Jiang Cheng was still slightly evasive—clearly she was still a little embarrassed about what had just happened.

There was no way his granddaughter's reaction could escape someone as seasoned as Elder Xu. He gave his granddaughter and Jiang Cheng a meaningful look; he seemed to have figured something out. "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes." This Jiang Cheng was also a rare talent. If the two of them ended up together, that certainly wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Jiang Cheng, we've already heard about the release of the Regional Edition Killer. You really dared set that price, hahaha. You're going to make quite a killing off this!" Elder Xu said with a big smile, his words full of approval for what Jiang Cheng had done.

After all, those Western regions in the West District had never gotten along with the Hua Family, and in the past the Hua Family could only be led by the nose by the West District in all sorts of matters. Now the Hua Family had a company that could give the West District a ruthless slap in the face. The few people from the region were inwardly delighted to see it.

"Wasn't it you who said it? Not to earn their money would be such a waste." Jiang Cheng laughed and echoed him.

"Right, your documents have been processed. After we finish eating, come to my study and I'll give them to you. I heard you registered a new company and are planning to go be a teacher?" Elder Xu suddenly asked.

Jiang Cheng wasn't at all surprised that Elder Xu knew about this. The Hua Family's territory might be large, but at Elder Xu's level there was basically nothing he wouldn't know.

"Yeah. Now that Tencent Company is on track, I registered a new company to develop in a new direction, and I've already found the right people to run it for me. I usually don't have much to do myself, so I want to go teach and nurture people—educate the next generation. After all, the future of the Ancestral District lies in the next generation." Jiang Cheng packaged his boredom as lofty ideals.

"Then you can totally go teach at a university. Your knowledge is exactly what universities need right now." Xu Ying said.

"Ah, college students these days all have their noses in the air. They think they're the greatest and I really don't feel like teaching them. My talent isn't limited to computers. I've decided to become a middle school Chinese teacher. I'm not just going to teach; I'm going to shape people." Jiang Cheng decided to commit to his act all the way.

There was no way Elder Xu didn't know what kind of person Jiang Cheng was. But with someone like him, Elder Xu knew that even if he went off to teach, it wouldn't diminish his value, so he just let it be.

But suddenly, one sentence from Xu Ying almost made Jiang Cheng spray the wine out of his mouth.

"Grandpa, I want to be a teacher too!" Xu Ying said.

Not only Jiang Cheng, even Elder Xu was stunned. As her grandfather, he knew his granddaughter's temperament better than anyone. A teacher? With Xu Ying's personality that can't be restrained, could she really settle down and be a teacher? Whether other people believed it or not, Elder Xu himself certainly didn't.
