Chapter 1982 Miss Lu, Long Time No See
Shu Yu didn't expect to hear this familiar name here. But was this the Cheng Xian she knew?
She couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the entrance of the main room.
At this moment, Xia Yan was sizing up Cheng Xian. Although he did not know Cheng Xian, judging from the attitude of the Cheng siblings towards him, he must have some background.
Having been by Meng Yunzheng's side for so long, Xia Yan has seen a lot and learned how to judge a person.
The other party wanted to speak with him alone, presumably not wanting to escalate the situation. His attitude was acceptable, and Xia Yan didn't insist on being unreasonable. Fine, let's hear what the other party has to say first. If the result isn't satisfactory, then it's not too late to see the authorities.
However, just as Xia Yan was about to agree, Cheng Jiatong was not very satisfied with what Cheng Xian had said.
What do you mean by "a trivial matter"? Was her being beaten just a trivial matter?
Brother Cheng is a bodyguard of the governor, whose official rank and power are much greater than that of the prefect. The other party is just a minor official under Lord Qi, who is only an acting prefect and not a formal one.
Why should Brother Cheng be polite to someone from such a different social class? He only needs to reveal his identity to make the other person tuck their tail between their legs and kneel down like a dog.
Cheng Jiatong was inwardly dissatisfied, but outwardly said in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, it's clearly their fault. I'm not afraid even if we go to the authorities. Would Lord Qi dare to defend this minor official in front of you? He..."
Before he could finish speaking, he looked up and saw Shu Yu walking out from inside.
Her eyes widened immediately, and she suddenly pointed at Shu Yu and said, "Brother Cheng, brother, it was her, it was her who hit me."
Cheng Wenbao followed her finger and looked down, his face dark and gloomy.
Chengxian also looked over, and then froze. This wasn't...
Cheng Jiatong felt confident because this was his home, he had servants around him, and he also had the skilled Cheng Xian.
The slap mark on her face was so clear, and it still stung. How could she not retaliate?
Without thinking twice, Cheng Jiatong charged straight at Shu Yu, shouting, "I'll beat you to death!"
Her hand was raised high, but just as she was about to swing it forward, it was grabbed by someone.
Cheng Jiatong was taken aback, thinking it was Shu Yu again, but when she looked up in the direction of his finger, she found that the person standing next to her was actually... Cheng Xian?
"Cheng, Brother Cheng?"
Cheng Wenbao strode forward, and Cheng Xian pushed Cheng Jiatong toward him, saying with a stern face, "Are you going to lay a hand on me?"
Cheng Jiatong was furious. She never expected that Cheng Xian, who should have been her greatest source of confidence, would be the first person to stop her.
She stomped her foot. "She hit me first. Brother Cheng, you were clearly on my side, so why didn't you help me?"
Xia Yan and Ying Xi were also very curious about this question.
They both followed Shu Yu after he returned from exile, so they had never met Cheng Xian and did not know his identity.
Cheng Xian ignored Cheng Jiatong, but turned his head and smiled at Shu Yu, saying, "Miss Lu, it's been a long time."
Everyone, "..."
Cheng Wenbao and Cheng Jiatong looked at him in astonishment. What did he just say? They... they actually knew each other?
Shu Yu also laughed, "Guard Cheng, it really is you! I knew it couldn't be such a coincidence that I ran into two people named Cheng Xian. When did Guard Cheng arrive at Changjin Manor?"
