Chapter 158 Are you the princess of this country?!
In Adrian's comment section, there was a huge amount of discussion about the house.
Jiang Chengcheng walked in front, and Adrian, recovering from his shock, followed her.
"We've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name. What's your name?" Adrian was wandering around Jiang Chengcheng, just like a golden retriever running around its owner.
"Jiang Chengcheng." Jiang Chengcheng stopped in her tracks, looking at Adrian pacing back and forth in front of her. She sighed deeply, feeling dizzy.
"My name is Adrian! Hello! It's nice to meet you!" Adrian seemed to have a tail that kept wagging behind him, and he came close to her and said.
“You said that before,” Jiang Chengcheng reminded him expressionlessly.
"Oh! How can that be the same?! This is a formal introduction!" Adrian looked utterly astonished, as if to say, "Are you serious?"
"Whatever." Jiang Chengcheng really wasn't good at dealing with people like Adrian.
She'd seen her fair share of exceptional people, but she was somewhat at a loss with someone like Adrian, a social bully.
"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you if you just come home with me like this?" Jiang Chengcheng finally asked the question that had been bothering her, looking at Adrian jumping around.
Thinking back to what the other person had said before, he probably wasn't a complete fool. How could he dare to follow him in a foreign country?
"Haha! No way! You're so beautiful, you must be a kind-hearted beauty! Besides, China isn't like our country, even at night the security is quite good!" Adrian rubbed the back of his head and said with a hearty laugh.
“I think Adrian is absolutely right. China is probably the safest place I’ve ever been to in all the countries I’ve traveled to, provided you don’t use methamphetamine.”
"That's right, but China's efforts to ban ice are truly unparalleled in the world! Sometimes I really don't understand why they have such a low tolerance for ice. Our country has never cared about it. Isn't this a matter of personal freedom? It's the only thing I can't agree with."
"Hey, do you even know anything about Chinese history? How can you talk so casually about it? If you knew about the humiliations China suffered decades ago, you'd understand why they hate methamphetamine use so much!"
"You can't understand other people's actions until you've experienced the pain yourself. Just wait, isn't the United States reaping the consequences of its own actions? I hope you can say the same thing with a smile then."
"I agree with the comment above. The US may not care, but you haven't mentioned the many homeless people and meth users on their streets. Also, because they don't ban guns, don't you know how many massacres happen every year? Both freedom and security come at a price, but China has kept that price to a minimum, which is what I admire most."
"Add one! I really want to immigrate to China in my lifetime. There are so many delicious foods there that I've never seen before! They look so good, and it's quite safe to go out at night. I don't have to worry about being indiscriminately shot by some killer who suddenly appears on the street!"
"I agree, but it's really hard to get a green card in China; it's unique in the whole world!"
The comments section echoed Adrian's sentiments, sparking a lively discussion. However, it's unclear who started it, but the conversation quickly veered off-topic.
As Jiang Chengcheng and Adrian were still talking, a heavy wooden door opened from the inside, and Uncle Zhong came out with a group of servants.
The bodyguards who were originally on patrol were also standing in neat rows not far away.
"Welcome home, miss!"
Even though the voices of the crowd weren't loud, the combined sound of so many people was still quite impressive.
This scene left Jiang Chengcheng, who hadn't been home for a long time, somewhat bewildered.
This?
Was she like this when she came home before?
Why is there such a big difference all of a sudden?
Jiang Chengcheng looked at Uncle Zhong in front of her with a completely bewildered expression.
"Miss, is this your friend?" Uncle Zhong asked, bowing as he looked at the unfamiliar foreign face beside Jiang Chengcheng.
"Um... sort of. Have someone prepare a guest room for him. He'll stay at home tonight," Jiang Chengcheng replied, scratching her head.
“Yes, Miss, I’ll make the arrangements right away. Dinner is ready, and it’s all to your liking.” Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhong nodded to a maid behind him, who then bowed and walked up to Adrian to ask.
"Hello, do you need me to leave any items or luggage?"
Upon seeing Adrian's expression, the maid immediately spoke in English to inquire.
"Uh...no! Thank you, I don't have any luggage to put down." Even someone as shrewd as Adrian was a little taken aback by this exaggerated display.
Who exactly is this beautiful woman?
This place is amazing!
Is she a princess of this country?!
But surely there are no princesses in China?
Adrian was momentarily confused, and the maid bowed and left, heading towards the door.
"By the way, what's going on today? Why are so many of you out here?" Jiang Chengcheng usually opened the door herself when she came home, but today it was like a prince returning to his residence. She was a little confused.
“Miss, this is the true standard that a wealthy family should have. It’s just that the staff was not fully in place before, so it seems inadequate. This is my fault.” Uncle Zhong bowed his head in apology. In fact, he originally planned to report this matter to Jiang Chengcheng before starting to implement it.
However, news had come from outside that Miss had brought guests home, and Uncle Zhong thought that he couldn't let the guests look down on his young lady, so he took it upon himself to put on the show just now.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Chengcheng originally thought it was unnecessary to make such a big fuss, but then she thought that Uncle Zhong was doing this to make her look good, and she couldn't very well blame him after he had done a good job. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
Jiang Chengcheng turned to ask Adrian.
"Did you have dinner?"
"Oh! Miss Jiang, I've been robbed of everything. Where am I supposed to get money for dinner?" Adrian's expression was full of helplessness and grievance, and his stomach rumbled in perfect sync with his expression.
"Let's eat together then, but let me make this clear first, I can't guarantee the taste will suit you." Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Adrian's stomach growling.
She prefers spicy and sour flavors and can't live without them. Of course, she also eats sweets, but she eats spicy food more often. Adrian, being a foreigner, might not necessarily like it.
"Oh my god! You're my savior! Don't worry! I'm not picky about food! I'll eat anything!" Adrian looked at Jiang Chengcheng with shining eyes, expressing his gratitude.
"Miss, it's cold outside. Shall we go back first? It wouldn't be good if you caught a cold," Uncle Zhong said, feeling the howling wind outside and noticing Jiang Chengcheng's rather thin clothes.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Jiang Chengcheng felt a bit cold upon hearing this, so she called to Adrian beside her and went inside first.
