Chapter 1180 What She Likes
In front of everyone, Liang Chen couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "Manman, you should go and rest. We can talk about it next time."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry, I'll go back to my room now." After saying that, Jiang Manman went upstairs.
Jiang's mother said, "This child must be exhausted. Let's not worry about her. Liang Chen, your face is so badly injured. Have you applied any medicine?"
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I've already been there." Liang Chen smiled gently.
"That's good. But why would Huo Yanchen hit you for no reason?" Jiang's mother asked.
Liang Chen said, "I don't know either. He's really unreasonable. He'll resort to violence if he can't win an argument. If the police hadn't come, I might have been beaten to death. But isn't that the kind of person Huo Yanchen is? He only knows how to use violence. Don't even mention me, someone who has nothing to do with him anymore. Look at the people in his family. They've all suffered terribly because of him."
Since Jiang Manman didn't believe what he said, Liang Chen spoke to Jiang Manman's parents.
Remind them that Huo Yanchen is not a good person; he is a murderer, arsonist, and has a history of violence.
Liang Chen continued, "It's fortunate that it was me. If it were someone as small as Manman, she would probably have been beaten to death by Huo Yanchen."
Jiang's father's expression turned slightly unpleasant; though his words were rough, the reasoning was sound.
Although their family had a good relationship with Huo Yanchen, and Huo Yanchen had never harmed them, Jiang's father was still somewhat intimidated by Huo Yanchen's methods.
Jiang's mother had a good impression of Huo Yanchen and couldn't help but speak up for him: "I don't think Yanchen is the kind of unreasonable person. He's actually a very good person. If you don't provoke him, he definitely won't make a move."
Huo Yanchen helped their family a lot. Although he was a bit cold and had a bad temper, he wasn't the kind of person who would get angry for no reason.
Liang Chen said, "Auntie, I'm not saying anything bad about Huo Yanchen, but look at me like this, even the police can prove that it was Huo Yanchen who hit me. It's just that my parents said that our family can't afford to offend Huo Yanchen, and told me not to pursue the matter."
Even though Liang's parents felt sorry for their son, they knew the pros and cons.
Today they only got a beating at the police station. If they really angered Huo Yanchen, it's not impossible for them to arrange an accident that would make him disappear from this world forever.
Liang Chen's parents also said, "We really can't afford to offend Huo Yanchen, so we can only suffer in silence. However, I see that your Manman and Huo Yanchen seem to be getting very close, so we should be careful."
Jiang's mother said nonchalantly, "Manman and Yanchen have always had a good relationship. She is currently interning at Yanchen's company. This is actually quite good. If Manman can get help from Huo Yanchen in the future, then her father and I can worry less."
Jiang's father had a strange expression and nudged Jiang's mother, signaling her to say less.
Then he cleared his throat and said, "I think Manman has grown up and is indeed different from Huo Yanchen. I'll talk to Manman later and tell her that she should have less contact with Huo Yanchen."
Jiang's mother looked at Jiang's father with a "Are you out of your mind?" look. Wasn't it Jiang's father who had told Manman to learn more from Huo Yanchen before?
“I think Yan Chen is a good person. What’s wrong with him? If Yan Chen is around, would anyone dare to bully my Manman?” Jiang’s mother said.
Jiang's father quickly said, "Let's not say anything more for now. The problem isn't with our child."
That was a conflict between Liang Chen and Huo Yanchen, how did it get involved with Manman?
Liang Chen's parents also said, "Thank you so much, Manman, for telling us about Liang Chen today. We should thank Manman. How about this, come over to our house for dinner tomorrow?"
“It’s nothing, no need to be so polite,” said Jiang’s mother.
Liang Chen's mother said, "Yes, yes, it's settled then. You and Manman will come to our house tomorrow at noon."
……
After going upstairs, Jiang Manman returned to her room.
She placed the beautifully packaged bag on the small table in front of her and then stared at it.
Both parties are cleared.
Oh.
Huo Yanchen is truly ruthless.
If we're even, then we're even. Who cares what he has to do with us?
If I hadn't felt sorry for him, I wouldn't have been so kind today!
Not knowing what Huo Yanchen's product was, Jiang Manman roughly tore open the packaging.
Inside was an exquisite box, not very big, that looked like something to wear.
Jiang Manman opened it and saw the watch inside.
Is this... the one she had her eye on?
Actually, Jiang Manman noticed this watch when she was looking at it today.
However, when she was with Liang Chen, Jiang Manman didn't look closely, afraid that if she showed that she liked it, Liang Chen would buy it for her.
Jiang Manman wasn't very interested in any of the items the shop assistant brought out, but Liang Chen insisted on picking them out for her, probably thinking that young girls would like those kinds of things.
But this one is different. The white strap is eye-catching and feels incredibly clean, and the dial doesn't have any fancy or messy designs. It's a very simple watch.
Although it doesn't have those designs that are dazzling at first glance, the designer has cleverly and thoughtfully hidden the design elements inside. No matter which angle you look at it from, this watch looks quite good.
Jiang Manman only glanced at it a couple of times at the time, never expecting that this watch would end up in her hands now, especially since it was a gift from Huo Yanchen.
Did Huo Yanchen really see it back then?
Even if she saw it, she wouldn't know that she liked the watch.
Jiang Manman stared at the watch, her heart still pounding wildly.
She tried it on her wrist. Her hands were already very delicate, with fair skin, and they looked very translucent, as if she hadn't done much manual labor.
So lovely!
Jiang Manman thought the watch was indeed beautiful, and Huo Yanchen certainly had a knack for choosing gifts. It was just a pity that this was a gift to settle things with her.
……
The next day was Sunday. After Jiang Manman woke up, she went downstairs and heard her mother say, "Manman, get ready in a bit. We'll go to Liang Chen's house for lunch together."
Why go to Liang Chen's house?
“Your aunt invited us yesterday, saying it was to thank you for calling them about Liang Chen, so she treated us to dinner,” Jiang’s mother explained.
Jiang Manman didn't want to see Liang Chen, let alone go to Liang Chen's house for dinner.
"Mom, can I not go?"
"Well... I already promised them, it wouldn't be right not to go."
"But I didn't agree, and I also have something to do today. I promised Sister Yuanyuan that I would go to her house today. So, Mom and Dad, I'll pack up and head out. Please apologize to Aunt Liang for me. And Mom, I told you before that I have someone I like, and I like him a lot. So please, please don't try to set us up with Liang Chen!"
Jiang Manman had no choice but to escape to Shen Yuan's house.
