5: Chapter 5 It turns out he's the brother-in-law.

Just as everyone was discussing it, a fairly handsome young man walked out of the school surrounded by a crowd; it was the "Young Master Jiang" that the person had mentioned.

Young Master Jiang was named Jiang Mingcong. His father, Jiang Shan, was a billionaire running a real estate company and was considered a famous big shot in Jiangcheng.

Jiang Mingcong had publicly declared that Xiao Yuxin was his woman, and anyone who dared to approach Xiao Yuxin would be an enemy of his, Jiang Mingcong.

To win over Xiao Yuxin, Jiang Mingcong had confessed to her in public, but Xiao Yuxin rejected him. Even so, Jiang Mingcong did not want to give up and continued to pester her as usual.

"Look, Young Master Jiang is here. That kid is probably going to be in trouble."

"That's for sure. We're in for a good show now."

Everyone was gloating; although they couldn't win the favor of the goddess, they loved watching the drama.

Seeing a crowd gathered, Jiang Mingcong walked over out of curiosity.

"What are you all looking at? School's out, and you're not going home, just standing here blocking the way. Do you have any civic virtue?" Jiang Mingcong lectured everyone from a moral high ground.

Seeing Jiang Mingcong approach, everyone shut their mouths. However, a few of Jiang Mingcong's lackeys, wanting to curry favor, took the initiative to explain the situation and pointed toward Xiao Yuchen, who was not far away.

Following the direction of the finger, Jiang Mingcong saw Xiao Yuxin and Xiao Yuchen beside her at a glance. His brows furrowed instantly.

"Who is that kid? He doesn't seem to be from our school, yet he dares to make such intimate gestures toward my Xiao Yuxin. He is playing with fire."

Jiang Mingcong was clearly very Life Qi, but since he didn't know the identity of Xiao Yuchen, he didn't act rashly.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Jiang Mingcong couldn't hold back anymore and walked quickly toward Xiao Yuxin with his two bodyguards.

"Hey, do you think Young Master Jiang will cripple that kid?"

"That's a given. Competing for a woman with Young Master Jiang, can that kid have a good ending?"

"Probably not, right? After all, there are so many people watching here; Young Master Jiang should show some restraint."

"Heh, restraint? That's ridiculous. You don't know Young Master Jiang well enough. Previously, Young Master Jiang's bodyguard crippled a student at the school gate. There were many people watching then too, and Young Master Jiang was still fine."

Just as everyone was speculating about how Jiang Mingcong would deal with Xiao Yuchen, Jiang Mingcong arrived in front of the two and glared at Xiao Yuchen.

"Kid, which class are you in? How dare you try to snatch my woman? You're tired of living."

Because he was very happy to see his younger sister, Xiao Yuchen hadn't paid attention to Jiang Mingcong. Only when he heard Jiang Mingcong's words did he turn to look at him.

"Are you talking to me? I don't think I know you, do I?" Xiao Yuchen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Nonsense, who else but you? Xiao Yuxin is my woman. You actually dare to compete with me for her? You really have guts."

Because he hadn't figured out the identity of Xiao Yuchen, Jiang Mingcong didn't order his bodyguards to attack. If Xiao Yuchen had an extraordinary background, acting rashly would bring trouble to his Family. However, although he didn't strike, his words were extremely arrogant.

"You say Xiao Yuxin is your woman?"

Xiao Yuchen turned to look at Xiao Yuxin. He understood his younger sister; she would never like such a bully and playboy.

Sensing her older brother's gaze, Xiao Yuxin immediately explained, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. I have nothing to do with him. He did confess to me before, but I rejected him. He just won't give up and keeps pestering me."

Although Jiang Mingcong had been harassing her, which affected her studies to some extent, Xiao Yuxin hadn't told Xiao Yuchen about it because she knew Jiang Mingcong's father was a big shot in Jiangcheng with high status, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her brother.

"Brother? You are Xiao Yuxin's brother?" Jiang Mingcong was clearly stunned.

"Otherwise? Why are you pestering my sister?" After learning what happened, Xiao Yuchen's expression changed immediately.

Upon learning the identity of Xiao Yuchen, Jiang Mingcong smiled awkwardly, and his attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

"So it was my brother-in-law. I was reckless just now. Please forgive me, brother-in-law."

"Who is your brother-in-law? My sister has already rejected you. Why do you still pester her? If this affects my sister's studies, I will make you pay the price."

Although he didn't know the status of Jiang Mingcong, it was all the same to Xiao Yuchen. If this Jiang Mingcong didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

"No, no, how could I disturb Xiao Yuxin's studies? I truly like Xiao Yuxin. Please, Big... Big Brother, forgive me."

Xiao Yuchen couldn't be bothered to argue with such a playboy. He pulled Xiao Yuxin and prepared to leave. Even if he were to punish Jiang Mingcong, he wouldn't do it in front of his sister, so as not to make her worry.

"Get lost, and don't pester my sister again in the future." Xiao Yuchen said again.

"Big Brother, since we are meeting for the first time, how about we have a meal together? I really want to be friends with you."

"A meal? There's no need for that. We aren't even close."

"It doesn't matter. We can get to know each other over a meal, right? There is a nice restaurant not far from here called Yanbinxuan. Let's go there."

"This... alright, you lead the way."

Hearing that her brother had actually agreed to eat with the other party, Xiao Yuxin was anxious and tugged at Xiao Yuchen's sleeve.

Her brother might not understand the character of Jiang Mingcong, but she knew him quite well. This person was not suitable to be friends with.

Xiao Yuxin's small action naturally didn't escape the eyes of Xiao Yuchen, but Xiao Yuchen pretended not to see it and followed behind Jiang Mingcong toward the restaurant ahead.

After walking about three or four hundred meters, a fairly luxurious restaurant appeared before them. It might not count as five-star, but it was likely four-star.

Walking into Yanbinxuan, Xiao Yuchen found it very lively and basically full, showing just how popular this restaurant was.

Seeing Jiang Mingcong walk in, the waiter immediately came up to greet him.

"Young Master Jiang, you've arrived. Quickly, please come in."

Jiang Mingcong didn't even mention a room, and the waiter took him directly to a private room on the second floor, showing that Jiang Mingcong was already a regular here.

Xiao Yuchen followed Jiang Mingcong into the private room. The room was spacious, and the decoration was luxurious. Xiao Yuchen knew that a meal here definitely wouldn't be cheap.

"Big Brother, you and Xiao Yuxin sit inside. I will have someone bring the dishes now."

Jiang Mingcong gave his bodyguard a look, and the bodyguard left knowingly. This action was naturally under the surveillance of Xiao Yuchen, but not knowing the intention of the other party, Xiao Yuchen didn't expose it.

Before long, the bodyguard returned with several waiters. The waiters carried various exquisite dishes on trays, and two of the waiters were holding four bottles of Moutai and four bottles of red wine.

Xiao Yuchen didn't know what kind of wine that was, but by the looks of it, it certainly wouldn't be cheaper than Moutai. This meal would cost at least over a hundred thousand; this Jiang Mingcong had really splurged.

"Big Brother, since we are meeting for the first time, we must drink until we are drunk today. It doesn't matter if we get drunk; there are suites upstairs where you can rest." Saying that, Jiang Mingcong poured a full glass of white liquor for Xiao Yuchen, and of course, he poured one for himself as well.
