Chapter 179: Chapter 179: [Extra] It Turns Out He is Cheng Yi

The car ride was smooth all the way. Zhou Ming glanced at the extraordinary man in the rearview mirror. He was very quiet, having not spoken since he got in, while his companion next to him was completely drunk, resting his head against the window, and Zhou Ming couldn’t see his face clearly.

Time passed by the minute, and suddenly, a harsh ringtone shattered the silence.

Zhou Ming heard the rustling of clothes; then, the call was answered, and the man’s magnetic and gentle voice resonated, "We’re already on our way."

"Okay, I called a designated driver, Tan Bo got drunk, so I’m taking him home first."

"Okay."

Upon hearing the name "Tan Bo," Zhou Ming subconsciously furrowed his brows. If he remembered correctly, that was also the name of Yurou’s brother...

Because the car’s windows were all down, the cold wind slapped against their faces, together with the ringtone’s interruption. By now, Tan Bo had sobered up quite a bit. He sat up straight, but when he saw the driver’s face in the front mirror, his mind became extremely clear.

He paused, then scoffed lightly, his voice indifferent, "It’s you..."

It was then that Zhou Ming finally saw Tan Bo’s face clearly. The world really was small...

He hummed softly, then shifted his gaze away, his hands steering the wheel, focusing on the road ahead.

Hearing the exchange between the two, Cheng Yi glanced at Tan Bo, his eyebrows slightly raised, "You know each other?"

Tan Bo replied, "Yeah, we’ve met once."

If it was just a casual friend, Tan Bo wouldn’t have described it so lightly; thus, Cheng Yi quickly guessed the relationship between the two. If not friends, then it must be love rivals.

This caused Cheng Yi to start sizing up this driver, wondering what kind of person could steal a lover from Tan Bo.

But soon, Cheng Yi withdrew his gaze and concluded internally: He looks okay, but he’s not suitable for Yurou.

In fact, when Cheng Yi heard that Yurou had fallen for someone who repaired phones, he didn’t really take it to heart.

Because he knew the rules of this circle all too well. Even if no one was overseeing Yurou for now, being the only daughter of the Jiang Family, how could they possibly let their daughter marry a man who repaired phones?

Given the years of good relations between the Tan Family and the Jiang Family, just one word from Tan Bo, and Yurou couldn’t possibly marry someone else.

But Cheng Yi knew that Tan Bo was also very aware of these relationships; he just didn’t want to force Yurou, which is why he kept indulging her unchecked, over and over again.

After all, it was all for the sake of love.

The car first drove into the Tan Family’s villa, then turned around and headed towards Luming Academy.

Upon arriving at Luming Academy, Cheng Yi gave Zhou Ming a very generous tip. Zhou Ming was surprised and wanted to refuse, but then he heard him say, "Take it, I give the same amount to others."

Zhou Ming bowed his head and chuckled softly to himself. Yeah... what was he being prideful about? In the eyes of others, it was just a little money.

"Thank you." Zhou Ming accepted the money, but as he was leaving, the other party called out to him.

Zhou Ming turned around and saw the man standing there, his demeanor indifferent yet exuding an undeniable fierceness and dominance.

"Do you know Jiang Yurou?" he asked.

Zhou Ming’s brow furrowed slightly, "What are you trying to say?"

"It turns out I’m her half-brother," Cheng Yi’s lips curled into a sly smile, but his eyes were filled with darkness.

Zhou Ming had already guessed his identity during the car ride, so he wasn’t surprised.

Cheng Yi took a few steps forward, slowly beginning, "The person in the car just now is another brother of Yurou. He and Yurou grew up together, and their relationship is even better than that of real siblings. Normally, the person Yurou is supposed to marry would be him, but now you’ve suddenly come into the picture."

Cheng Yi’s gaze grew sharp, "What do you think we should do?"

Zhou Ming looked straight into Cheng Yi’s eyes, undaunted even by such a powerful aura, "What do you mean by telling me all this?"

Cheng Yi did not answer his question but instead asked, "Do you know the Tan Family?"

The Tan Family? If it was the famous Tan Family, Zhou Ming certainly knew them. He moved his lips and said, "Is it the Tan Family I’m thinking of?"

"Exactly," Cheng Yi hooked his lips and reminded him, "Now think about Jiang Yurou’s surname."

"Jiang Family..." Zhou Ming murmured, then suddenly looked up sharply at Cheng Yi. In Jing City, there were four major families, and their surnames were Cheng, Tan, Han, and Jiang, each one a famous great family, with the Cheng Family being the most powerful.

Zhou Ming knew that Yurou’s identity might not be as simple as he had thought, but he had not expected that she was the daughter of the Jiang Family.

"You’re quite smart. I’m telling you this not for any other reason but to help you realize the reality sooner. You and Yurou are not suitable; she and Tan Bo are a match of equal social standing."

Zhou Ming laughed softly, "So what? Does Yurou like him?"

"Whether she likes him or not is none of your concern. You just need to stay away from Yurou," Cheng Yi said bluntly.

"And what if I don’t?" Zhou Ming asked.

Cheng Yi smiled coldly, "Then you can try..."

"Cheng Yi?" Just as he finished speaking, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from a distance.

Zhou Ming glanced at the man in front of him. So, this was Cheng Yi... the youngest authority of the Cheng Family.

Looking toward the direction from which the voice came, he saw a woman in a light blue chiffon dress approaching.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, slender, with fair skin, and she was very pretty.

The moment he saw Xinan, Cheng Yi’s face immediately changed to a soft and doting expression, "Why did you come out?"

His voice was so gentle it was hardly recognizable compared to just moments before.

Xinan replied indifferently, "It was a bit stuffy, so I came out for some air."

She noticed Zhou Ming standing nearby and asked, "Who is this?"

"My driver." Cheng Yi’s gaze remained fixed on Xinan, unwilling to turn away even slightly.

Xinan nodded and smiled slightly at Zhou Ming, "Hello."

Zhou Ming was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Cheng Yi’s wife to be so approachable, "Yes, hello."

Cheng Yi took Xinan’s hand and said, "It’s getting a bit cold outside, let me take you inside."

After speaking, he glanced back at Zhou Ming, "You can go now. I hope you will consider what I’ve said."

Zhou Ming didn’t speak until their figures had disappeared from sight, then he slowly walked out of Luming Academy.

Back at the villa, Xinan asked Cheng Yi, "What did you mean by what you said to him just now?"

Cheng Yi rubbed Xinan’s head and said with a smile, "It’s nothing, just a casual remark."

There were some things he didn’t want Xinan to know too much about, as it would only add to her worries. As for Tan Bo and Yurou, it was up to their own fate now; he had done all he could.

Xinan nodded, "Okay."
