Fourth Master Jiang gestured straight ahead.
Jiang Shiheng hesitated briefly, then gradually turned his head.
His gaze locked onto Lu Shuangshuang's eyes, brimming with tears.
Lu Shuangshuang had been weeping steadily for some time, gripping a handkerchief now completely drenched.
Her tear-soaked eyes looked hazy, much like an autumn lake veiled in swirling mist.
A refined nose and petite lips, complexion as pale as fresh snow, and an elegant silhouette.
Beauty defined Lu Shuangshuang without question.
Furthermore, the tailored cheongsam she donned radiated sophistication, while the jade bracelet adorning her wrist amplified her refined presence.
This version of Lu Shuangshuang stood in stark contrast to the one etched in Jiang Shiheng's recollections.
Back in her younger days, Lu Shuangshuang carried a lively spark, her stare often fierce and commanding.
Yet the current Lu Shuangshuang exuded a calm and peaceful vibe overall, her eyes notably gentler now.
She gazed at Jiang Shiheng, her lips quivering, rising unsteadily to whisper, “Ah Liu…”
Jiang Shiheng let out a soft sigh and responded, “Sister Shuang.”
Sister Shuang.
Lu Shuangshuang pressed a hand to her mouth, her features streaming with tears.
“I knew you wouldn’t forget me! All these years, I’ve been searching for you, waiting for you! I knew you would come back! Ah Liu, you’ve finally returned!”
She dashed toward Jiang Shiheng, almost flinging herself into his embrace.
In that instant, Cheng Cheng moved swiftly ahead, positioning himself before Jiang Shiheng, and called out firmly, “Godfather…”
His move felt spontaneous, as though he needed to convey something crucial to Jiang Shiheng, oblivious to Lu Shuangshuang's impending rush.
He simply ended up wedged right between them.
Due to how abrupt his step was, it caught everyone off guard, particularly Lu Shuangshuang, who failed to halt and bumped hard into Cheng Cheng's back.
The sturdy young Supervisor Guard absorbed the impact, sending her stumbling backward while she held her forehead, on the verge of collapsing.
Jiang Yunqing, positioned nearby, hurried to steady her.
“Sixth Aunt, be careful.”
The girl's clear, sharp voice heightened the awkward tension in the air even more.
Cheng Cheng glanced back at the pair.
He creased his forehead, looking confused, and inquired, “Who is this lady?”
His untimely interjection already felt odd, and now probing into Lu Shuangshuang's identity only irked the Jiang Family further, prompting scowls and glares of annoyance toward him.
“Who is this Supervisor Guard? How did he get in here? Today is our Jiang Family’s…”
Fourth Master Jiang's expression soured as he demanded.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I hadn’t had the chance to introduce myself yet, but I just remembered that my godfather just returned to D State and might be experiencing discomfort due to the change in environment, so he’s not feeling well these days. I wanted to remind him to sit down and talk.”
Cheng Cheng answered calmly, his face impassive.
Hearing his fabricated excuse, Chen Baoshen struggled to suppress a chuckle.
It was obvious to all that Sixth Young Master Jiang appeared perfectly healthy at the moment, with clear eyes, firm strides, and a relaxed stance, showing no signs of illness.
Cheng Cheng was obviously acting deliberately.
However, he didn't foresee that while he saw through it, not everyone else might.
As a result, some people actually took Cheng Cheng's words at face value.
For example, Old Master Jiang and Lady Eighth.
