Chapter 1609 I Know I Was Wrong...
Jiang Cheng's attention was still on the soft touch on his arm.
Si Qing's straightforward approach made him slightly stunned.
He turned around and caught a glimpse of Si Nian's furrowed brows.
The rivalry in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
When chatting with the twin sisters during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Cheng vaguely felt that the two were somewhat at odds with each other.
There was just some undercurrent when we met the day before yesterday.
I didn't expect that I would compete so openly in front of him today.
It was as if the delicate window paper was suddenly broken.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Xiaodong's panicked call of "Mr. Jiang" brought his thoughts back.
"Why are you here?"
Cheng Xiaodong still had sweat on his forehead from running, and he avoided looking directly at Jiang Cheng.
He rubbed his hands against the seam of his pants, his voice drifting: "I, I just happened to be passing by and wanted to find a friend..."
"Oh?" Jiang Cheng dragged out the last word, his eyes fixed on his pale face, without moving or responding.
Jiang Cheng's eyes were so dark, like a deep pool with no bottom to be seen, staring straight at Cheng Xiaodong.
Cheng Xiaodong felt like his blood was about to freeze.
The torment of the past few days flashed through my mind uncontrollably.
Ever since Xingchen prepared to withdraw its investment, Tianlong Real Estate’s stock has been on a downward slide.
The drop was shocking within a few days.
Billions have evaporated during this period.
I heard from my mother that Cheng Gui's temples have turned white.
Everyone in Tianlong Real Estate Company was in a panic.
After reading the major financial news, Cheng Xiaodong finally felt the true fear.
"Mr. Jiang..." Cheng Xiaodong's voice began to tremble, and his legs felt like the bones had been pulled out.
He knew that if he didn't show some sincerity today, there would be no way to end it.
With a determined heart, he knelt on the ground with a thud. The crisp sound of his knees hitting the stone pavement startled everyone around him into silence.
"Boss Jiang! Please have mercy!" He buried his head almost to the ground, his voice filled with tears, "I'm the bastard, I didn't recognize the great man! Please spare our family, if this continues, we're really finished!"
This kneeling was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue.
A few students passing by were just chatting and laughing, but now their hands holding milk tea froze in mid-air, their eyes wide open.
Someone's handbag fell to the ground with a "clatter", but they didn't bother to pick it up, just staring at the dramatic scene.
Whispers surged like a tide, and when they saw Jiang Cheng's calm expression, they were suppressed into gasps.
"No way, kneeling down??" Who is the boyfriend of these twin sisters?
"This must be a big boss... This is too scary..."
"Look at Lin Weiwei's expression. Did you see the photos on the forum yesterday?"
"Look, wasn't this guy standing with Lin Weiwei just now? Is he here to apologize to the twin sisters?"
Lin Weiwei stood aside, completely stunned.
The bag in his hand fell to the ground at his feet with a "bang".
The color on her face drained away completely, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, but she couldn't utter a word.
Just now she was trying to please Cheng Xiaodong and even secretly slandered Si Nian and Si Qing.
But in the blink of an eye, this "Brother Xiaodong" whom she wanted to get close to actually knelt down in front of Jiang Cheng?
Yesterday she pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose in the parking lot and provoked him...
Cold sweat instantly crawled up my spine, and the clothes on my back were soaked in an instant.
Her legs were shaking uncontrollably and she could barely stand.
Si Nian and Si Qing, who were standing beside Jiang Cheng, were also stunned by this sudden scene.
The two sisters looked at each other subconsciously and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The competitive spirit that I had just had was temporarily suppressed.
Instead, there is a mixture of emotions.
Jiang Cheng always seems to bring them unexpected shocks.
The moment his knee hit the ground, Cheng Xiaodong's head buzzed, as if something was broken.
It hurt. Not just a dull ache in my kneecap.
The surrounding discussions were like a needle, piercing through the shell he had been wrapped in over the years with arrogance and superiority.
The days in the detention center a while ago flashed through my mind again.
The iron railings were cold, and it was so quiet at night that I could hear my own heartbeat.
He thought a lot at that time.
How could Jiang Cheng be so cruel?
Why did I go crazy and provoke this person?
Thinking about my obsession with An Xin over the years, I realized it was all wishful thinking.
On the way here he thought he had it figured out.
He thought that admitting his mistake to Jiang Cheng was nothing.
But at this moment, in front of so many eyes, she bent her knees in front of Jiang Cheng.
All the memories that he had deliberately suppressed suddenly came flooding back.
When he was young, he was bullied by others and An Xin helped him, so she fell in love with An Xin.
But when he grew up, he became the person he disliked the most when he was a child.
Even last year, a waiter accidentally spilled some wine on his limited edition sneakers.
He forced people to kneel in the restaurant lobby for ten minutes.
Seeing the other person saying "I'm sorry" with red eyes, he laughed loudly along with Huangmao and the others.
Even this year at the bar on New Year's Eve, the girls at the neighboring table looked at them a few more times.
He had someone block the other person in the alley, and finally forced the person to pay the bill with a nod of respect, and even had to say "Mr. Chen, you are so generous"...
Those images of tyranny and the image of himself kneeling on the ground at this moment were like two balls of fire, colliding in his mind, burning his cheeks and making his eyes sore.
So this is what it feels like to be forced to bow your head.
It turns out that the dignity that he had once despised was so heavy when he picked it up again.
"Boss Jiang..." His voice was shaking, tears welled up in his eyes, falling down his cheeks and hitting the ground, leaving a small wet mark. "I know I was wrong... I really know..."
After saying that, Cheng Xiaodong kowtowed hard.
With his forehead pressed against the cold ground, his voice was filled with tears, but it was clearer than before: "I used to be a bastard, walking around Rongcheng like a jerk, bullying others because my family had some power... I'm not a human..."
"I'm really awake this time. If you forgive my family this time, I will behave myself and never do anything stupid again!"
"Really, Mr. Jiang, I swear, my dad said that to show his sincerity, for the projects in the eastern region, you Xingchen will take 80%, and we Tianlong will only take 20%." He kowtowed again, his voice choked with sobs, but revealed a seriousness of risking everything.
