Chapter 176: Chapter 174 Confrontation

Jiang Kechu’s sharp gaze pierced Xiao Bai, as he asked with an oppressive aura:

"Who are you? Why are you living here?"

Xiao Bai took a slight step back. Why does this guy give off a bloodthirsty vibe? Could he be a pig butcher? Has he butchered thousands of pigs, hence the terrifying aura?

He couldn’t help but grin and said, "Big brother, who are you? And why are you knocking on my door?" Xiao Bai usually laughs more when he’s nervous.

Jiang Kechu was slightly surprised by the man’s composure in front of him, suppressing the impulse to punch him to smithereens.

The two men stared at each other uncompromisingly, as if wanting to kill one another, causing the air pressure at the small doorway to plummet suddenly.

Xiao Bai couldn’t withstand the other’s intimidating presence and blurted out, "Don’t look at me like that, staring won’t make you recognize me."

Jiang Kechu glanced at Xiao Bai expressionlessly, then turned and left without hesitation.

Watching Jiang Kechu’s icy silhouette vanish swiftly down the hallway, Xiao Bai scoffed, "So what if you have long legs? Big deal!"

During the days when Wan Chu’er was not around, Xiao Bai had been staying here. He closed the door, took a few steps into the room, then suddenly cried out, "Ouch," wondering if that guy could be Wan Chu’er’s old flame.

That’s why he looked like he wanted to devour him upon seeing him—a definite misunderstanding.

Xiao Bai looked down at his baggy pajamas, feeling it’s quite likely a misunderstanding. He should have spoken properly just now; he could have probed some more information out of that guy.

That fellow’s jealousy was no joke.

And he didn’t even bother to introduce himself, seeing his aggressive attitude, Chuchu definitely shouldn’t hook up with this guy so easily!

Wan Chu’er is tight-lipped indeed. If it weren’t for this pig butcher knocking on his door, he would have thought Wan Chu’er was truly focused on studying and hadn’t come to her senses yet.

Impressive, really impressive!

After Jiang Kechu got into his car with a dark face, he dialed Wan Chu’er’s phone, but it was turned off.

After a moment of thought, he called his sister, Jiang Xiaoxiao. This time Xiaoxiao picked up quickly, and Jiang Kechu barely said, "Xiaoxiao..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao from the other end of the line hurriedly said, "Brother, you’re back? Wait a moment, please." Then she hung up.

Jiang Kechu stared at the disconnected call, dumbfounded, and began to have some unpleasant suspicions.

Why did Xiaoxiao hang up his phone? Did she guess he was looking for Wan Chu’er? And did she guess that he saw an unfamiliar man entering and leaving Wan Chu’er’s house?

And where is Wan Chu’er?

He was certain that Wan Chu’er wasn’t home just now.

So, who exactly was that sleazy-looking man? Why was he in Chuchu’s home, dressed so casually?

In the short span of two minutes, Jiang Kechu’s face turned uglier than ever.

It felt like a century had passed before Jiang Xiaoxiao called back.

Jiang Kechu curled his lips into a mocking arc, ready to hear how she would fabricate lies to deceive him.

"Bro, sorry, I couldn’t talk on the phone just now," Jiang Xiaoxiao started off the call, which sounded like an excuse to Jiang Kechu’s ears.

Jiang Kechu, without revealing any emotions, calmly asked, "Do you know where Wan Chu’er might be?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken aback, feeling that her brother had forgotten his sister once he had Wan Chu’er to think about. The moment he opened his mouth, he asked about Wan Chu’er, not even bothering to say where he was, or to ask after her.

"Bro, you didn’t even ask why I couldn’t answer the phone just now," Jiang Xiaoxiao said discontentedly.

Jiang Kechu paused for a moment and amiably asked, "So why couldn’t you answer the phone just now?"

Although he was internally anxious and eager to find out what had happened during his absence and where Wan Chu’er had gone, his voice remained steady.

Jiang Xiaoxiao snorted and said, "Forget it, I might as well tell you about Wan Chu’er."

Jiang Kechu’s heart tensed up, and he gripped the phone more tightly.

"Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi went to participate in a summer teaching program; their school organized it. Qiqi mentioned that they’re going to a remote mountain village and that they’ll be there for a month. They won’t return until school starts, so you better not fret and just wait for them to come back," she explained.

Jiang Kechu quietly let out a sigh of relief and then asked, "Do you know who the man living at Wan Chu’er’s house is?"

"Man?" Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t catch on immediately, but after a brief moment, she exclaimed "Oh" and asked, "Is it that guy with the peach-blossom eyes who looks kind of silly?"

Jiang Kechu: "...I suppose."

Thinking back, the man did indeed seem rather silly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Wan Chu’er calls him Second Brother. I think he’s from the same place. We all call him Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai is so much fun. He’s especially good to Chuchu. Bro, you should learn from Xiao Bai and how to be a brother. Xiao Bai nearly spoils Chuchu rotten, he’s so good to her. I’m really envious of Wan Chu’er, having such a great Second Brother."

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s envious sighs over the phone almost turned Jiang Kechu’s face black as the bottom of a pot.

Envious?

Spoiling Chuchu rotten? Jiang Kechu was the one that should be spoiling Chuchu!

Jiang Kechu coldly interjected, "Stick to the main point. How did this guy come into the picture?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao exclaimed "Ah," then burst into laughter, "Bro, you can’t possibly be jealous of Xiao Bai, right? Hahaha... Don’t worry, although Chuchu is quite close to Xiao Bai, they’re not in that kind of relationship. Chuchu developed a game and An Zihao thought it had great market potential, so he wanted to collaborate with Wan Chu’er. You know what Wan Chu’er is like, she doesn’t enjoy dealing with people, so she got Xiao Bai to come to Beijing to handle things for her."

Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke lightheartedly, but it only fueled Jiang Kechu’s ire!

What did she mean by "Chuchu being quite close to Xiao Bai"?

Containing his anger, Jiang Kechu clarified the location of Wan Chu’er’s teaching mission and then hung up the phone.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Kechu stewed over Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words. The more he thought about it, the angrier and less rational he became.

Suddenly, he threw open the car door with a swift motion and strode back to the entrance of Wan Chu’er’s house.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Xiao Bai was on the phone with An Zihao, organizing the day’s tasks, when he heard a knock at the door.

"Hold on, someone’s here. I’ll go check," he said to An Zihao before heading to the door with his phone in hand.

Then he saw Jiang Kechu, "Hey, why are you back again?"

Xiao Bai blurted out the question, then blinked rapidly, about to inquire about his relationship with Wan Chu’er, but before he could get a word out, Jiang Kechu’s iron fist struck with the speed of lightning.

Directly hitting Xiao Bai in the nose.

"Ow! Fuck!" Xiao Bai bent over, clutching his nose, convinced it was broken from the burning pain.

Jiang Kechu hit and left without dragging his feet.
