Chapter 213 Catching the Thief
Chapter 213 Catching the Thief
He didn't seem to mind Chen Mei's presence at all. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said it.
Jiang Man was stunned, his face stiffened, and he was speechless for a long time.
Chen Mei's face darkened. "Chen Hao, what nonsense are you talking about?" She changed the subject and looked at Jiang Man with a friendly expression. "Manman, you know Chen Hao loves to joke around."
Jiang Man nodded, glared at Chen Hao fiercely, and smiled awkwardly, "I know, I know."
"Miss Jiang and Mr. Chen seem to have a good relationship, don't they?" Zheng Rui couldn't help but sneer as she watched this farce.
"They are uncle and sister-in-law, of course it's okay." Chen Mei hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" Zheng Rui's lips curled up into a playful smile. "I didn't expect that Young Master Chen had such a hobby?"
Chen Hao chuckled, "How can it compare to the romantic scandal between Miss Zheng and her brother?"
"Chen Hao!" Chen Mei shouted sternly.
Chen Hao shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Apologize." Chen Mei clenched her fingers, her anger obvious.
"Ms. Zheng, don't take it to heart. I'm still young and I don't speak without thinking." Chen Hao said with a smile.
"It's okay." Zheng Rui took a sip of tea, her eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Manman, let's go." Chen Hao looked at Jiang Man who was sitting beside him with gentle eyes.
Jiang Man understood that staying any longer would only cause more trouble, so he nodded gently, turning his gaze gently to Chen Mei and Zheng Rui, and spoke with a touch of propriety and relief: "Madam Su, Chen Hao and I will leave first."
Chen Mei suppressed her anger, nodded, and her face was gloomy.
After getting her consent, Jiang Man stood up and left step by step with Chen Hao.
She lowered her head and remained silent all the way.
"Why?" Finally, she walked under a street light and asked solemnly.
"What why?"
"Are you using me to make your mother give up?"
Chen Hao nodded and did not deny it.
"So this art exhibition is just one part of your plan?"
"Yes."
"Chen Hao, if you need my help, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to do this." Jiang Man frowned, feeling deceived.
"I'll go back first." She said coldly.
After saying that, she turned and left. Chen Hao looked at her back and naturally understood that she was angry.
It was indeed his fault for taking advantage of her, but being caught by Chen Mei this time was truly unexpected.
He pursed his lips, chased after her, and grabbed her wrist, "Manman."
"Shut up."
"I won't close it."
"Let go."
"I won't let go."
"Listen to me, Manman." Chen Hao held her shoulders, with a hint of grievance in his voice. He knew that Jiang Man could not stand his appearance the most.
"I did use you just now, but this was an emergency." He raised three fingers and swore.
"I know I shouldn't have made this decision without consulting you first, but this is my lifelong decision, and you wouldn't want me to marry a woman I don't love, would you?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Man pitifully.
Jiang Man looked at him, "Really?"
"I dare not deceive the Queen."
"Your Lady Queen?"
"Look at how majestic you were just now. Don't you look like a queen?"
"Ok?"
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so willful." Seeing her tone become serious, Chen Hao immediately changed his tone and started smiling again.
Jiang Man saw him acting funny and his anger instantly dissipated.
"Really wrong?"
"Yeah, yeah." Chen Hao nodded quickly.
"Next time you need my help, please tell me first."
"Otherwise I'll be in trouble."
"Okay." Chen Hao nodded and agreed to her.
In this way, the two walked one after the other and came to the bustling city, where old men and women were dancing in the open space.
"Catch the thief!!!" a scream suddenly rang out.
Jiang Man looked back and saw a dark shadow bumping into her.
She staggered a few steps and was supported by Chen Hao.
At this moment, a girl ran up to them breathlessly, pointing at the running figure in front of them, "Catch the thief!"
Jiang Man was stunned and quickly chased after him.
Before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Chen Hao, "Miss, you are a weak woman, chasing a thief?"
"Are we just going to let him run away?" Jiang Man blinked and pulled away Chen Hao's hand.
Chen Hao looked at her, feeling quite helpless. "Wait for me here."
After saying this, the figure disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Man widened his eyes and looked at the disappearing Chen Hao, secretly marveling in his heart, this man is really amazing.
"Miss..." The girl behind him caught up and spoke blankly.
"What's going on?" Jiang Man turned around. "Is this your boyfriend?"
"No."
"He's so handsome!" The girl looked excited, completely ignoring the fact that she had lost her wallet.
Jiang Man was speechless. This girl seemed to have missed the point.
"Can you introduce him to me?" the girl asked expectantly.
"Maybe I can get him to be my boyfriend."
"It's exciting just thinking about it." After saying that, she covered her face. In fact, this little girl is very sweet, and her rosy little face is full of excitement.
After a while, Chen Hao brought the thief back to them.
He kicked the thief and said, "Take out your things."
The thief glared at him fiercely, but still handed over the things obediently. If he had been slower, he would have been beaten again.
The crowd gradually gathered around, accusing and cursing the thief.
The girl clutched her lost and found wallet tightly. After a careful inspection, she found that nothing was damaged. Her cheeks blushed shyly, "Hello, my name is Bai Xue."
Chen Hao raised his eyes and a playful smile appeared on his lips, "Hello."
He spoke half-seriously, and Bai Xue's face instantly became filled with an infatuated look when she heard it. "Can I treat you to a meal?"
Chen Hao was about to refuse when he turned and glanced at Jiang Man. He then nodded, "Okay, but." He paused deliberately and put his arm around Jiang Man's shoulders, "You have to take her with you."
Jiang Man was stunned, "No need."
"Yes!" Chen Hao interrupted her, as if he didn't see her puzzled look, "She is my girlfriend." He lied without changing his expression.
Jiang Man turned his head stiffly and whispered, "You don't have to do this in front of outsiders, right?"
"Yes." Chen Hao answered straightforwardly.
"why?"
"Look at her face, she looks like she wants to hit on me."
Watching the two of them talking in low voices, Bai Xue felt a sense of loss in her heart, "But this lady just said that you are not her boyfriend."
"She's shy." Chen Hao explained.
"My daughter Manman is more shy than other girls." After saying that, he gave Jiang Man an ambiguous look.
Jiang Man took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm and not lose his temper easily.
"Didn't you say you would treat us to a meal?" Chen Hao smiled, revealing his neat teeth.
Bai Xue nodded reluctantly, her expression somewhat gloomy.
The three of them left together, leaving the thief to the onlookers.
Thief: Who did I offend?
