Chapter 19 An Mingjie's Trust

As the situation on the chessboard gradually became clearer and the chess pieces were densely packed, a wry smile appeared on Su Jiang's face. The defeat was irreversible.

Although Su Jiang's chess skills were good, they were still inferior to An Mingjie in front of him.

And he could feel that An Mingjie did not go all out, otherwise this game would not last so long.

He really wanted the system to give him a skill like chess proficiency right now and severely defeat An Mingjie.

When the chess game came to an end, An Mingjie looked directly at Su Jiang and asked directly: "What are your plans in the future?"

Su Jiang shook his head slightly: "I don't know, just take it one step at a time. I really want to live a stable life as before."

An Mingjie chuckled and looked deeply: "But you understand, that is already a luxury. No matter what reasons you used to hide your strength, from the moment you were noticed by Lin Hui, your life was destined to be uneasy. ”

"Even if you kill Lin Hui, it won't change this fact."

Su Jiang nodded silently. It wasn't that he didn't know, but he just didn't want to face the fact.

All these changes were too sudden for him.

From the emergence of the system, to the indescribable subtle feelings towards An Rou, and the grudge against Lin Hui...

All of this stems from that confession.

Sometimes Su Jiang wonders, if the person he confessed to was not An Rou, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

But every time he saw An Rou, he would feel an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart. If it weren't for An Rou, he might regret it.

Such complex and contradictory emotions also made Su Jiang dumbfounded.

An Mingjie was keenly aware of Su Jiang's inner struggle, and he proposed bluntly: "Su Jiang, are you willing to join the An family?"

When Su Jiang heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then, he heard An Mingjie continue: "As long as you can promise to treat An Rou wholeheartedly, join me in the An family."

"Then I, An Mingjie, can guarantee that no one in Jiangdu City can disturb the lives of the two of you."

"Even those leading families entrenched in the gray area can't do it. Anyone who touches you will die."

An Mingjie's eyes were shining with sharp light. He stared at Su Jiang closely, his tone revealing arrogance and confidence.

Su Jiang knew that the man in front of him at this moment was the real An Mingjie, the real king of the An family.

He was silent, while An Mingjie waited patiently for his answer.

After careful consideration, Su Jiang finally slowly shook his head.

When An Mingjie saw this, he stood up and frowned, his voice slightly serious: "Are you rejecting me? Aren't you worried that the An family will become your enemy because of this?"

Su Jiang also stood up, looked directly into An Mingjie's eyes, and said seriously: "I will not join any family, let alone receiving your protection. To me, it is a kind of bondage and shackles."

"An Jia is different. He won't ask you to do anything."

"I know, but how should I put it?" Su Jiang paused and then said: "I like 100% freedom. I hope that my destiny can be in my own hands and not be influenced by any force."

"I don't want to join the An family because I don't want to be an enemy of the An family. I just don't want to join. This is my reason."

"As for An Rou, I will just let nature take its own course. I am willing to take care of her only because she is An Rou, not because of your An family's resources."

After Su Jiang finished speaking, An Mingjie's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Hahahahaha..."

However, after a long period of silence, An Mingjie suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

He smiled and walked forward and patted Su Jiang on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.

"That girl Rourou has really good taste, and you didn't disappoint me." An Mingjie said with a smile.

He paused for a moment and continued: "If you had really agreed to my proposal just now, I would have been very disappointed and would have driven you away without hesitation, so that Anrou would never see you again."

"A truly strong person will never be willing to be inferior to others, and if you really consider An Rou, you will never accept my help."

An Mingjie nodded frequently as he spoke, obviously very satisfied with Su Jiang's answer.

"Su Jiang, I rarely truly trust a person, and I rarely recognize a person."

"To be honest, before you came, I had a lot of doubts about you, but now, I am willing to put aside these doubts and believe in you..."

"Because I, An Mingjie, have never missed anyone with my eyes since I was a child."

A warm current surged in Su Jiang's heart. He could deeply feel the sincerity in An Mingjie's words. This trust and recognition gave him a new understanding of the An family.

With someone like An Mingjie in the An family, how could they be afraid of other mafia families?

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the silence in the study.

An Mingjie tilted his head slightly and succinctly said one word: "Come in."

The door of the study room slowly opened, and the person who came in was also familiar to Su Jiang. It was Li Cai.

Su Jiang also noticed that An Rou was secretly hiding behind Li Cai, her bright eyes full of curiosity, looking into the study room.

Li Cai glanced at Su Jiang, then turned to An Mingjie, and said in a low voice: "It's almost time. Feng Chengye has arrived at Fengting Restaurant, and the Lin family has also set off."

An Mingjie nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to Su Jiang and said, "I'll have to trouble you to accompany An Rou to a place with us later."

"Where to?"

"Fengting Restaurant." An Mingjie answered straightforwardly, "Tonight, people from the Lin family and the Feng family will appear there."

"Brother!!!" An Rou was immediately anxious when she heard this: "It's family affairs, I'll go, why do you let Su Jiang go?"

Su Jiang frowned slightly: "Okay, but you have to tell me the reason."

"I'll tell you in the car later."

After that, several people walked out of the study. An Mingjie gently pinched An Rou's little mouth and whispered to comfort her: "Okay, Rou Rou, don't worry, we won't hurt your little boyfriend."

"Woo woo woo..." An Rou's eyes widened, her mouth covered, and she could only make a faint whimper, her eyes full of shame and anger.

What my little boyfriend, An Mingjie, you bastard!

She was full of doubts. What on earth did these two bastards conspire in the study room just now? How could her brother suddenly become so weird?

"Puchi!" Su Jiang couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw An Rou's appearance.

He didn't expect that Miss An Rou, who was usually fearless, would be completely subdued by her brother. This scene was really funny.
