Chapter 172 – Madman (3)

In the quiet room, the aunt slowly retreated as Jiang Cheng softly blew the steam coming from the bowl of soup. While Lan Jinyao watched his movements, her heart beat like a drum.

“Jiang Cheng!”

She rolled her eyes nimbly before calling out his name.

Jiang Cheng stopped what he was doing and looked up at her with a trace of doubt in his eyes as he asked, “Yes? What’s wrong?”

Lan Jinyao took a deep breath before saying, “In fact, you already know that I am me and Chen Meimei is Chen Meimei. My thoughts, memories, and character are all different from Chen Meimei’s. I’m just myself, but the person you used to like was Chen Meimei, right?!”

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. “That’s right!”

Lan Jinyao then added, “But, the person you like now is me, right?”

This time, he didn’t hesitate at all as he nodded and replied, “Correct!”

So, Lan Jinyao went on and said, “In that case, the main question I want to ask you is: How much do you love Chen Meimei, and how much do you love me? We’re not the same person to begin with; aside from this body, we are two completely different people. So, tell me, with you being so fickle, how can you make others believe that you’re actually an affectionate person?”

In the past, when she was filming a case-solving suspense drama, she came into contact with this kind of brainwashing tactic. Though she wasn’t a professional in this field, she was able to apply the technique into practice. After she’d finished asking this, Jiang Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

“Look, you’re actually a very sentimental person. To be precise, a so-called womaniser. You have money, authority, and a powerful background. You can have whatever you want, so I don’t understand why you have to pretend to be so infatuated. You expect me to believe that you are? No, there’s no way I’d believe that and Chen Meimei, who is currently watching us from above, won’t believe it either.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng’s expression suddenly dimmed.

“You’ve talked so much until now, but what’s your purpose? To brainwash me? I’m telling you, it’s of no use, so don’t waste your time. I liked the former you, but I love the current you even more. If you don’t want to stay, you can go; just leave this body behind for me.”

Initially, when Lan Jinyao had heard him say ‘you can go’, she’d started to feel a rush of joy in her heart. However, Jiang Cheng’s latter words made her stare at him in shock.
