Chapter 70 He really cares about you.

Chapter Seventy: He really cares about you.

Meng Huaiyan looked at Jiang Congyu's ugly face and scoffed.

He and he are essentially the same kind of people, yet now he comes here pretending to be a good person to criticize and question him. What gives him the right?

Meng Huaiyan said coldly, "Mind your own business and mind your own business."

Hearing Meng Huaiyan's cold and impolite words, Jiang Congyu could no longer suppress his anger and stepped forward to punch Meng Huaiyan in the face.

Jiang Congyu only offered this friendly reminder because they were good friends, lest things turn out irreparably.

Not only did I not get away with this, but I was also treated with such sarcasm and ridicule. Who the hell could tolerate this?

Meng Huaiyan was caught off guard by his sudden attack and took a direct punch to the face before he could dodge.

The taste of blood filled his mouth, and Meng Huaiyan rubbed his cheeks, his face darkening.

Meng Huaiyan's pent-up emotions finally erupted at this moment. He clenched his fist and swung it at Jiang Congyu without any hesitation.

The two men started fighting each other without any restraint in the study, overturning tables, chairs, and ornaments with loud bangs.

Qingyang and Jiang Congyu's guards outside the door exchanged a silent glance, then immediately slipped into the room.

When the two men saw Meng Huaiyan and Jiang Congyu fighting so fiercely, like two wild beasts that had lost their minds and gone mad, they were both shocked.

He rushed forward to try and pull them apart, but the two men shouted at him to stop.

Meng Huaiyan: "Don't come any closer!"

Jiang Congyu: "Don't come any closer!"

Since their master had spoken, the two of them naturally dared not disobey and could only watch anxiously from the sidelines.

Jiang Congyu's kung fu was ultimately inferior to Meng Huaiyan's, and he gradually began to struggle towards the end.

Meng Huaiyan delivered a low hook punch to Jiang Congyu's chin, causing Jiang Congyu to stagger backward. Before he could regain his footing, Meng Huaiyan delivered a powerful side kick to Jiang Congyu's chest.

With a "bang," Jiang Congyu was kicked and fell backward to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his chest and a metallic taste rising in his throat.

Jiang Congyu lay on the ground for a while before finally managing to stand up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth at Meng Huaiyan, saying, "Fine, fine, fine!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you later, you'd better not regret it!"

Meng Huaiyan rubbed his aching hand, looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Seeing that he was so stubborn and wouldn't listen to any advice, Jiang Congyu got tired of paying attention to him and stormed off in anger.

Once Jiang Congyu left the Duke's mansion, he could no longer maintain his feigned composure.

Meng Huaiyan is a real bastard, he really went all out. Jiang Congyu was in so much pain that he was grimacing and cursing Meng Huaiyan's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Wang Xi paced anxiously back and forth at home. When she saw Jiang Congyu finally return, she immediately went up to him to ask what had happened.

But when they saw Jiang Congyu's face, which was covered in bruises and welts, they froze in place.

"What...what happened to you? Did you get into a fight with Meng Huaiyan?"

They had gotten into a fight, and Jiang Congyu had lost. He was incredibly frustrated.

But he didn't want to appear so useless in front of Wang Xi, as that would damage his dignity as a man.

He awkwardly replied, "It wasn't a fight, just a friendly spar."

Hearing him say that, Wang Xi stopped asking questions and quickly asked, "Have you found out about Shen Tang's situation?"

Jiang Congyu's expression stiffened slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he told her about Shen Tang's situation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi immediately exploded: "Is Meng Huaiyan out of his mind?!"

"Does he really think that his Meng family can control everything and do whatever they want in the capital?"

Wang Xi became increasingly angry as she spoke, and grabbed the sword from the table and rushed outside.

Jiang Congyu quickly grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?"

Wang Xi slapped his hand away: "I'm going to find that bastard Meng Huaiyan, I'm going to get justice!"

"What good would it do you go? You can't even step inside the Duke's mansion."

"Then I'll go to the Emperor and the Censorate. I refuse to believe that no one in the capital can deal with him!"

Seeing Wang Xi's angry expression, Jiang Congyu also became a little anxious: "Can you calm down!"

“Meng Huaiyan and Shen Tang’s matter is a family affair. Even if you tell the Emperor and the Censorate, what can they do? They have no say in it.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi instantly broke down in tears: "Are you just going to let me do this?!"

Jiang Congyu sighed and comforted him, "Don't worry, there will always be a way to solve this."

"What couple doesn't argue? They fight in bed and make up in bed. Who knows, they'll be fine after a while."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi's eyes widened immediately, and she angrily retorted, "If he's not your friend, of course you're not in a hurry."

“I almost forgot, you and Meng Huaiyan are in cahoots, birds of a feather, neither of you are good people.”

"It's ridiculous that I expect you to help me!"

Upon hearing Wang Xi's accusations, Jiang Congyu immediately lost his temper.

"You can insult Meng Huaiyan if you want, but why are you dragging me into it? Didn't I ask around for you today?"

"I was beaten up like this by Meng Huaiyan because of your best friend, and you don't even care about me, but instead you criticize me like this?!"

"Wang Xi, do you have any conscience at all?!"

Wang Xi wasn't heartless, of course; she was just too anxious and spoke without thinking.

Now that Jiang Congyu had yelled at him, he calmed down a bit. Looking at Jiang Congyu's face, which had been badly beaten, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and ashamed.

But she just couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake.

Jiang Congyu wasn't the type to hold grudges against women, especially since this woman was his wife and pregnant with his child.

Knowing that Wang Xi was concerned about saving face, Jiang Congyu had no choice but to find a way to back down: "I will try to persuade Meng Huaiyan again. Things will eventually be resolved."

"There's no use in getting anxious now. You'd be better off calming down and figuring out a good solution. What do you think?"

Wang Xi lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded awkwardly.

Although Meng Huaiyan had the upper hand in the fight, Jiang Congyu was no pushover either, and he had quite a few wounds on his face and body.

Shen Tang looked at Meng Huaiyan's bruised and swollen face and was slightly shocked. Who was so bold as to beat Meng Huaiyan like this?

Then he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Which hero fought so well? It was truly gratifying.

When Meng Huaiyan saw Shen Tang's obviously excited face, his lips curled up: "You're happy that I got beaten up?"

Is there even a question? Of course she's happy, she's overjoyed!

However, Shen Tang dared not admit it directly and quickly shook her head, saying, "No."

Then, feigning concern, he asked, "Are you alright?"

Meng Huaiyan retorted, "You really want something to happen to me?"

"So hard to please," Shen Tang muttered, "I should have known better than to ask."

Seeing that Shen Tang remained silent, Meng Huaiyan's already unpleasant mood darkened even further. He stared intently at Shen Tang for a while before speaking.

"Jiang Congyu suddenly came to see me today, asking me about your whereabouts, and even got into a fight with me over you."

"He really cares about you."
