Chapter 1996 How Much Trouble Can You Get Into?

That night.

Lu Chengwen was on the bed, holding Jiang Yuanshu in his arms.

"Aunt, you are so beautiful."

Ouch, you stepped on my hair!

"Oh. Eh? Where did that mark on your neck come from?"

"You're disgusting! I'll beat you to death!"

"Hehehe! Hehehehe..."

Ding dong——!

Doorbell rang.

Jiang Bo is here.

Jiang Yuanshu didn't dare get out of bed. Lu Chengwen was sitting in the living room, chatting with Jiang Bo.

"Cheng Wen, I heard you drank too much today?"

"Yeah, that's so unbelievable, haha. I wanted to go to the bathroom halfway through the banquet, but I ended up falling asleep. Grandpa wasn't angry, was he?"

"No, that's normal."

"Cheng Wen, your father will be talking to you next. Have you thought about what you're going to say?"

Lu Chengwen looked at Jiang Bozheng and said, "Uncle, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you first."

"Well, you said."

"Is my little monkey alright now?"

"Great, she's fully recovered. She really wants to see you, but... she's worried you're still angry with her."

"No, not at all." Lu Chengwen awkwardly straightened his clothes. "Actually, I can understand the matter of the arranged marriage. Let's be frank and talk things out. I understand that you want me to be with Little Monkey to protect her. I also understand that. Grandpa probably hopes to use me to connect this matter with my master and the Fifth Elder... which is understandable."

"go on."

"But this kind of thing can actually be done without a marriage alliance. I've always considered Little Monkey my little sister, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. It feels a bit strange to suddenly bring up a marriage alliance. I just feel that this matter is a bit...hehe, I don't know how to say it."

"To tell you the truth," Jiang Bo said patiently, always with a smile on his face.

"What I mean is... I've always seen her as a younger sister, and suddenly she says she's getting married, so it's... it's a bit awkward, a bit strange."

Jiang Bo was laughing: "You don't think the little monkey is cute?"

"Beautiful! Very beautiful, super pretty."

"So you think she doesn't like you?"

“I do like her, but…” Lu Chengwen leaned closer: “I think she’s a bit… crazy.”

Jiang Bo looked a little embarrassed: "This girl suffered a lot when she was young, so she's a bit different from other girls. But I can see that she likes you a lot, even to the point of loving you with her life. Don't you feel anything at all?"

"Of course I am, and I'm not a blockhead. It's just that the current situation... is completely different from what I expected. Uncle, do you really want me to be your son-in-law from the bottom of your heart? Wouldn't you prefer someone better, like a hero from a wealthy family like White Teeth? I don't think I'm your first choice. If it's just to save Little Monkey, then there's no need for that."

Lu Chengwen began to showcase his grand plan.

"Now that Fourth Uncle has saved Miss Rufeng, the tense situation between the Jiang family and Tianwu has been greatly eased. The people of Tianwu always repay kindness and grudges, so they will definitely express their gratitude. Then the two families can resume negotiations. Once strategic mutual trust is reached, there's no need to have anyone repair the great formation! The little monkey is safe, and their Liu Ruyan won't need to reinforce the formation. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation for both sides?"

Jiang Bo sighed, "Cheng Wen, you mean well, but you're too idealistic. Do you think Tianwu will believe us? Or that we will believe Tianwu? I'd love to, but we've been fighting for so many years, and both sides have lost loved ones to the other. This hatred can't be resolved overnight. Mutual trust... how easy is that?"

"Then let's bind them together with mutual interests. If we can facilitate cooperation between the four major families and Tianwu, then everyone can temporarily put aside their grudges and prioritize making money. Especially Tianwu, they desperately need development and a... peaceful and safe illusionary realm so that their people can live a good life."

Jiang Bo was looking at Lu Chengwen: "Don't you want to marry the little monkey?"

"I'll put it nicely that I'm a disciple of the Heavenly Gang, but as you know, my strength and talent are nothing but rubbish."

"Hahahaha!"

Jiang Bo laughed: "You three brothers haven't even stepped into the Boundless Realm, yet you can fight my second brother to a standstill. And you still say you're not powerful? You have no talent?"

"That was Second Uncle's oversight, and he didn't intend to kill him. The matter of Brother Little Dog was just a lingering resentment. The rest of us... were just lucky to get away with it. Plus, Fourth Uncle was there to mediate, so we barely survived."

Jiang Bo said, “Cheng Wen, I really admire you. If I had any doubts about your identity, ability and character before, I now really think you are a righteous and upright gentleman.”

Lu Chengwen glanced back uneasily in the direction of the bedroom.

"Well... I'm not that perfect. I have a lot of flaws, especially in terms of morality. I have... flaws."

"Although you may give the impression of being a profit-driven and unscrupulous businessman on the surface, you are capable of heroic acts in critical moments. I have read Xia Ying's investigation report on you, and she gave you a very high evaluation. Moreover... your performance in the illusion truly deserves the title of hero."

"I... well, that doesn't mean anything. Marriage is about living together and having feelings for each other; whether someone is a hero or not is irrelevant. Besides, heroes may have bad habits. For example, some heroes like gambling, some like fighting, and some may even have... chaotic private lives. These things can have a devastating impact on a life."

Jiang Bo was frowning, looking somewhat displeased.

"Why do I feel like you're deliberately making excuses? Do you think our Jiang family isn't good enough for you? Or do you think we're all plotting against you?"

"No! No, no! Uncle, please calm down. I'm just... You know, someone like me, if I don't cause trouble for three days, I'll be in trouble for four. The Jiang family rules are so strict, won't I be making you angry every now and then? What if I cause a big mess one day? Will I even survive? The Jiang family rules are so strict, won't they skin me alive?"

"How much trouble could you possibly cause? I don't believe it's serious enough to warrant being skinned alive."

Lu Chengwen scratched his head: "It might be beyond your imagination."

"Heh, if you think our Jiang family would expect you to stay with only Little Monkey and not touch other women, you're dreaming. With your status and position, it's simply unrealistic for you to stay with one woman. We won't make that demand of you. Besides, you're marrying into the family, not moving in. I'll handle things for the Jiang family, and I'll take responsibility for any trouble you cause. As long as you don't bully my daughter, I'll take care of everything for the Jiang family."

"Alas, there are some things you can't bear."

"What did you say?"

"I...it's okay."

“Cheng Wen, I know you’re a womanizer, you’ve had a lot of girlfriends. I know your resume very well, it’s just a few women, it’s not a big deal.”

"Uncle, please remember what you said today."
