Chapter 257: Chapter 221 Steal Home
As evening approached, Jiang Cheng figured it was about time for Hai Lan to head home.

“Hai, it’s getting dark, let me arrange for someone to send you home.”

While Jiang Cheng didn’t have a car, Shen Menghan did.

Both the Shen Family and Miaodan Workshop had needs for travel and business.

Therefore, as soon as Miaodan Workshop caught its breath, they gradually equipped themselves with these comfort facilities.

Jiang Cheng was ready to see his guest out, and Hai Lan didn’t wish to overstay her welcome either.

She was quite satisfied with Jiang Cheng, but those two greenhorn girls from Miaodan Workshop were constantly opposing her, which was extremely annoying.

Hai Lan was about to agree when Yue Linger preemptively invited, “Jiang Cheng, Hai doesn’t come over often, aren’t you going to invite her to dinner?”

Jiang Cheng looked at Yue Linger strangely, thinking to himself, why are you suddenly so generous?

Even Shen Menghan, who was always occupied with numerous tasks and scarcely had any free time, chimed in, “Yeah, why not have dinner before leaving?”

Jiang Cheng turned to Hai Lan and said, “What do you think, Hai?”

Hai Lan glanced at Yue Linger and Shen Menghan, thinking to herself: a weasel paying New Year’s visit to a chicken. The little girl isn’t old but has more schemes than hairs on her head.

“Maybe not this time?”

Jiang Cheng nodded, as he didn’t plan on inviting Hai Lan to dinner either.

Just as things were about to settle, Yue Linger shifted her strategy and prepared to unleash a big move.

“Is Hai afraid of being in the limelight? We’re all friends here, what’s there to feel embarrassed about? Besides, even if you don’t come, Jiang Cheng was planning to treat us to dinner anyway.”

Jiang Cheng looked at Yue Linger with a confused face, not knowing what she was up to.

The tactic of provoking by challenge really worked, for although Hai Lan knew Yue Linger probably had ulterior motives, she wanted to see what tricks the younger girl had up her sleeve.

Thinking that just a meal would persuade her to leave Jiang Cheng?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

No chance.

“Fine, let’s eat.”

The three lady cultivators turned their gaze to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was full of question marks.

He hadn’t done anything, so how had everything been arranged already?

“Jiang Cheng, where shall we eat?” Yue Linger asked.

After some thought, Jiang Cheng felt that since they were all eating together, it couldn’t be too casual.

Then Shen Menghan spoke up for him, “There’s a good seafood barbecue place across from Lotus University, let’s go there.”

Yue Linger readily agreed in unison, “Alright, let’s settle on that place. It’s close to your house, and Liu hasn’t eaten either, right? Let’s call her over.”

Jiang Cheng: “I’ll ask Liu Qing…”

“She’ll definitely come! Shen, could you arrange the car, and then we can head out.”

“Okay.” Shen Menghan agreed immediately.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Huh?”

Jiang Cheng was dragged by Yue Linger out of the Miaodan Workshop.

He now very much felt like a new emperor under the ‘regency’ of ‘Empress Dowager Yue’.

The key point: ‘Empress Dowager Yue’ had no pressure in commanding her Shen, and Jiang Cheng didn’t understand how their relationship seemed to be so good.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng felt that Shen seemed to be somewhat subdued by Yue Linger.

This wasn’t right at all.

In terms of cultivation level, looks, and proficiency in alchemy, Shen Menghan was not inferior to Yue Linger.

In age, student council position, and family background, she was definitely stronger than Yue Linger.

By all accounts, it should be Yue Linger listening to Shen Menghan, so why was the reality the opposite?

Could it be that Yue Linger had some hidden advantage?

Jiang Cheng didn’t understand.

In the car, Hai Lan found herself squeezed into the front passenger seat by Yue Linger.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Jiang Cheng and Yue Linger sat in the back.

The ‘Empress Dowager’ now had an air of using Jiang Cheng to command the nobles.

She directly called Liu Qing.

“Hello?”

There was no sound from the other end of the talisman, but based on Yue Linger’s understanding of Liu Qing, she was surely listening.

Yue Linger glanced at Jiang Cheng, deliberately not mentioning him.

“We plan to eat seafood barbecue this evening. Do you want to come?”

The other side of the talisman was quiet.

Yue Linger glanced at Jiang Cheng again.

This time she hesitated a bit.

“Ahem, Jiang Cheng is here too, do you want to come, sister?”

“Mhm.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Alright, then I’ll ask Shen to drive over and pick you up.”

Phew.

At the affirmative answer from the other side of the talisman, Yue Linger breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure from being Jiang Cheng’s roommate was indeed something else, managing to make her quell her rebellious heart even through the talisman.

Hai Lan, sitting in the front, heard the soft tone of Yue Linger, and her lips curled into a disdainful smile.

She had thought Yue Linger was some sort of formidable independent woman.

But this was it?

“Yue has quite a temper, huh. I thought you were straightforward by nature and not one to submit to others.”

Yue Linger just smiled and didn’t say a word.

In her heart, she thought: Keep laughing, keep laughing. You’ll only laugh a little while longer. Once Jiang Cheng’s roommate arrives, I’ll see if you can still smile.

Jiang Cheng and company, led by Yue Linger, soon arrived at the seafood barbecue restaurant across from Lotus University.

Yue Linger confidently ordered dishes and shamelessly took the seat next to Jiang Cheng, which made Hai Lan grind her teeth.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

In Hai Lan’s view, the one called Shen Menghan was still somewhat modest.

But this Yue Linger, she acted completely at ease, as if she had no care for appearances.

She didn’t seem like Jiang Cheng’s friend, more like his personal maid, ready to warm his bed at his slightest beckon.

Hai Lan just couldn’t comprehend it.

Yue had the looks and the figure.

Although Hai Lan felt Yue Linger definitely couldn’t match her, she wasn’t bad either.

Why was she so attentive to Jiang Cheng?

“I can handle these myself, Yue.” said Jiang Cheng.

Yue Linger argued confidently, “We’re friends, what’s wrong with helping you tidy up the plates? Don’t be too formal.”

Jiang Cheng:…

Why did those words sound so familiar?

Soon after, Yue Linger’s talisman vibrated.

Yue Linger took it out and immediately saw a message from Shen Menghan.

Shen Menghan: Two minutes.

No more words necessary, sisterly understanding didn’t need to be spelled out.

Yue Linger quickly tidied and arranged the plates on the table, and got up from her seat next to Jiang Cheng a minute early.
