Chapter 702: Coaxing
After Guan Tang finished speaking, she forced a smile on her face.
Old Master Yin could not help but pity Guan Tang. He said, “I want to see who dares to say such things!” After that, he glared at Cheng Che.
Guan Tang said again, “Grandpa, Cheng Che and I have already discussed it. We’re family friends, to begin with. We can just treat each other like friends in the future. Let us handle our own matters, alright?”
Old Master Yin’s expression eased slightly. “Guan Tang, it’s been hard on you. Don’t worry. No matter what, Grandpa will always support you. No one can bully you.”
Old Master Yin naturally noticed Cheng Che’s indifference so he did not say everything he wanted to say.
Guan Tang smiled. “Grandpa, who dares to bully me? Even if you don’t say it, everyone knows you support me.”
Cheng Che lowered his gaze, hiding the shock in his heart. If he did not personally see the secret room in Guan Tang’s house and Jiahui being imprisoned in that room, no matter who said it, he would not have believed Guan Tang was so vicious. Despite her elegant and graceful appearance, she had the heart of snakes and scorpions.
With that thought in mind, Cheng Che’s back broke out in sweat.
Everyone present was likely unaware of Guan Tang’s true colors. She was too scheming and terrifying.
On the other hand, after she single-handedly resolved the crisis caused by Old Madam Yin and improved her image in everyone’s minds, Guan Tang was very pleased with herself. Her gaze inadvertently swept past Ye Cheng and Cheng Che. Cheng Che remained indifferent as usual while Ye Cheng’s eyes were sparkling.
Guan Tang did not understand why Cheng Che was so devoted to Jiahui. Jiahui was indeed cute, but it was not to the extent where it could make a man so devoted. Men were usually like Ye Cheng; they would be moved by the slightest bit of temptation.
Cheng Che did not relent; he did not agree to return to the Yin family. As such, Old master Yin was determined to find a way to meet Jiang Jin.
With the help of Ye Cheng, the future son-in-law of the Yin family, the atmosphere was rather good. Everything went smoothly and was not too awkward.
Old Madam Yin and her daughter-in-law did not reap many benefits from the outing this time. Since they were afraid of Old Master Yin, they did not dare to go too far.
On the other hand, Yin Bin and his family basked in the light of glory this time.
After leaving the restaurant, Yin Jia got into Ye Cheng’s car.
Ye Cheng asked Cheng Che to send Guan Tang home.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Yin used his status as an elder to pressure Cheng Che to agree to it.
Cheng Che hesitated briefly before he agreed in a gentlemanly manner.
Guan Tang got into Cheng Che’s car in a reserved manner before she fastened her seatbelt. When the car started, she asked Cheng Che worriedly, “Did I make you unhappy today?”
Cheng Che looked slightly surprised. “No. How can that be? Moreover, I’m just a guest today.”
Guan Tang sighed. “That’s not true. You’re the host today. Everyone was looking at your expressions before they said and did anything.”
Cheng Che frowned and did not say anything.
Guan Tang continued to say earnestly, “Cheng Che, you have to learn to hide your emotions in the Yin family. This is the best way to keep yourself safe. Old Madam Yin, her son, and her daughter-in-law aren’t on the same side as Uncle and Aunty. You have to be careful not to get involved in their fights.”
Cheng Che drove the car as he said bluntly, “They have nothing to do with me. I’m not returning to the Yin family.”
Guan Tang sighed. “Cheng Che, you’ll have to return sooner or later. The situation in the family is complicated. You have to remember what I said. I grew up in the Yin family. I can’t say much, but I don’t want you to be bullied when you return to the family.”
Cheng Che looked at the road ahead intently. He really did not dare to face Guan Tang at this moment.
