Chapter 1322: Understanding
This helper was Brother Fei’s follower, who usually did this kind of thing. His name was Li Zhan. He met Brother Fei – that was, Liu Jifei, at a wine table. When he noticed that this Liu Jifei was very rich and his family was also very powerful, he volunteered to be his follower.
When a wicked person showed up on the scene, there would always be a follower who introduced the identity of this big bully. Just like in ancient times, when a big local despot was dallying with women, and there was a nosy person, this big local despot would always say, “Do you know who I am?”
Obviously, this nosy person surely didn’t know who the hell he was. So, it was not convenient for this big local despot to state his identity because he would lose face. At this time, a follower of the big local despot was sent out. He would stand up and say, “This is so-and-so. Could you afford to provoke him? If you don’t want to die, you should quickly leave…” and so on.
Li Zhan jumped out and said to Yang Ming as he pointed to Li Jiufei, “This is the Liu Family’s… young master, Liu Jifei. I’m telling you, don’t trample in this matter if you don’t want to get into trouble. This is the grievance between our Young Master Liu and Jing Xiaolu. It’s none of your business!”
Yang Ming was slightly stunned. He didn’t know where a young master of the Liu Family came from, but this imposing manner seemed quite terrifying. However, who was Yang Ming ever afraid of?
Of course, Yang Ming was not a reckless person; he didn’t think that he was second to none. The Liu Family was not an enemy of his yet, so before Yang Ming investigated it thoroughly, he would not be stupid enough to make himself another enemy.
However, there were some exceptions to the situation. Yang Ming was no longer the naive boy he was in the past. The growth of this year allowed him to progress deeper in both grasping and observing people. He also learned to discern what someone thought from his body language. When Li Zhan introduced Liu Jifei, he was hesitant. When he said that Liu Jifei was a member of the Liu Family, he paused. After a pause, he said that he was the young master of the Liu Family!
The lesson here could be significant. If Liu Jifei’s identity was really so bad*ss, the young master of the Liu Family, then Li Zhan could entirely say that Liu Jifei was the Great Young Master of the Liu Family instead of a young master. Yang Ming didn’t think that people like them would be low-key. If they were really low-key, they wouldn’t have this mannerism. So, the only possibility was that Liu Jifei’s identity in the Liu Family was relatively low, or relatively taboo, so it was not usually appropriate to mention. However, now in Yang Ming’s face, Li Zhan had to say this to shock Yang Ming.
In other words, even if this Liu Jifei was the Liu Family’s young master, he was just an irrelevant character. Furthermore, Yang Ming did not believe that the real Liu Jifei was a superior character. Otherwise, he would not get a room with the delinquent, Jing Xiaolu, from the past.
Yang Ming would not doubt that a certain young master would take a liking to the current Jing Xiaolu, but for the original Jing Xiaolu, Yang Ming really questioned Liu Jifei’s taste.
” Oh , it turns out to be Great Young Master Liu Feiji. Sorry for my rudeness…” Yang Ming deliberately said Liu Jifei as a Liu Feiji, but there was no respect at all.
“Motherf*cker, did you deliberately do that?” Li Zhan looked at Yang Ming’s contemptuous face and knew that he didn’t put Liu Jifei in his eyes. Now he and Liu Jifei were a group, and he also had the identity of being Liu Jifei’s follower, so ignoring Liu Jifei was equivalent to looking down on him. How could he not be furious?
“What deliberate?” Yang Ming looked at Li Zhan with a fake shock.
“Our young master is called Liu Jifei, not Liu Feiji!” Li Zhan was so furious that he had to gnash his teeth. If he didn’t see Yang Ming as someone that couldn’t be bullied, he would have slapped Yang Ming in the face.
” Oh , I’m sorry. Liu Jifei and Liu Feiji, I got it wrong. I see this Brother Feiji seems strong in appearance but weak in reality. At first glance, I know he is the master of masturbation…” Yang Ming’s joking expression had no hint of apology.
Liu Jifei’s face turned sour immediately, but he did just proclaim that he had masturbated for a whole night before. However, it was just a sentence he used while dallying with Jing Xiaolu. He didn’t intend for Yang Ming to hear it.
“Who are you?” After Liu Jifei’s short anger, he calmed down. Yang Ming was now sticking up for Jing Xiaolu this time, so he was in a bit of a dilemma. He didn’t know what Yang Ming’s identity was.
He understood Jing Xiaolu. With Jing Xiaolu’s economic strength, she couldn’t buy a BMW X5. If she could buy this car, would she con him for thousands of yuan?
So since this was not Jing Xiaolu’s car, it must belong to the man next to her who was sticking up for her. The reason was very simple. He also sat here just now. If this car were not Jing Xiaolu’s nor his, did it fall from the sky?
Liu Jifei was just a distant nephew of the Liu Family. He was not considered as the great young master. The car he drove was just a Honda Accord; Yang Ming’s car was better than his. He naturally was a bit terrified and did not dare to offend Yang Ming. At least, he did not dare to offend him before he figured out Yang Ming’s details.
“Yang Ming, Xiaolu’s boyfriend.” Yang Ming looked at Liu Jifei and spoke faintly. Yang Ming naturally wouldn’t say that he was just a friend of Jing Xiaolu; that way, it would be a bit unjustified for him to stick up for her. Therefore, Yang Ming directly gave an identity that he could use to intervene in this matter.
“Boyfriend? Hmph hmph , okay. Jing Xiaolu, you’re very capable? You caught such a dumb rich guy?” Liu Jifei planned to investigate Yang Ming’s identity tomorrow and make a decision. As for today’s situation, it was not good to stay too long.
“You pay attention to your words.” Yang Ming coldly glanced at Liu Jifei and said, “How much does she owe you? I will give it to you.”
“I don’t want money.” Liu Jifei looked at Yang Ming with some bitterness. He didn’t come today for the money, but to get Jing Xiaolu in bed. A thousand yuan meant nothing to him. “Since you must stick up for this girl today, I’ll give you face. However, this is not finished. Let’s wait and see…”
” Pa !” Before Liu Jifei finished talking, Yang Ming slapped his face; he was stunned by the slap. He looked at Yang Ming somewhat incredulously. I haven’t made a move yet, and he took action first!
“You… you dare to slap me?” Liu Jifei didn’t anticipate that Yang Ming would slap him. Liu Jifei just thought that Yang Ming should thank him profusely for not looking for trouble now, but this Yang Ming was even more arrogant than him! Although Liu Jifei’s status in the family was very low, possibly non-existent, he was still very bad*ss outside. Very few people dared to do anything to him. He was undoubtedly unwilling that Yang Ming beat him, so he was furious on the spot.
“I already told you. Pay attention to your words.” Yang Ming grabbed Liu Jifei’s waving arm, preventing him from moving a single step. “Jing Xiaolu is my girlfriend. If you say something similar in the future, I will tear up your mouth.”
Liu Jifei was not a fool. He moved his arm and found that he couldn’t move at all, so he shrank down. He knew that even if Li Zhan joined, they could barely be Yang Ming’s opponent. Although their builds seemed scary, it was all to show off. The wine had long worsened it, so everything was fat and did not have combat power.
Just when Liu Jifei was going to rebuke Yang Ming angrily to release him, Yang Ming suddenly let go and dropped Liu Jifei. Liu Jifei looked at Yang Ming with resentment, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he didn’t leave any ruthless words. He just resentfully ran away with Li Zhan.
Jing Xiaolu was not afraid at all, but her eyes lit up, just like a little fox. “Yang Ming, is what you said just now true?”
“What is true?” Yang Ming frowned. “Look at the trouble that you have caused. There are still a lot of things like this, right? If they find you in the future, what would you do?”
“Aren’t you helping me out?” Jing Xiaolu said without hesitation.
“Me? Do you think I am by your side every day?” Yang Ming said without a good tone, “These people do things unscrupulously; if they really get you to a place with no one, use your own brain and think of what the consequences are!”
“Aren’t you my boyfriend? Aren’t you obligated to protect me?” Jing Xiaolu blinked and still didn’t care much.
“You know what the situation was just now. If you take this thing seriously, don’t blame me for turning around and walk away.” Yang Ming poked her little head with his fingers. “If I want to stick up for you, there must be a reason, right?”
Jing Xiaolu smiled. “Alright, but even if it’s a joke, I am very happy. Good night. Pick me up tomorrow morning!” Jing Xiaolu turned and walked to the dormitory building.
Yang Ming was annoyed, but there was nothing that could be done. Jing Xiaolu asked him to pick her up tomorrow morning. She said it so vaguely, like a lover’s order, but Yang Ming couldn’t reject it. There would be a meeting in the company tomorrow morning, so Yang Ming would naturally pick up Jing Xiaolu, but his feelings changed after she said it like this.
Upstairs, Jing Xiaolu proudly patted two kinds of devices in her backpack, a high-voltage electric baton, and a pepper spray. She thought, You think I’m a fool. With no means of self-defense, would I dare to walk on the streets? Today, I just deliberately gave you an opportunity to be a hero saving the beauty. Otherwise, without you in the past, I would have been raped by others a hundred times.
Yang Ming didn’t expect Jing Xiaolu to have these thoughts. He got in the car, started it, and headed for the school gate. On the way, Yang Ming saw Liu Jifei and Li Zhan hidden in the darkness. Both of them hid behind the transformer box. Yang Ming ignored them and drove the car.
“D*mn, is this license plate real or fake?” Li Zhan pointed to the dusty BMW tail smoke and exclaimed somewhat incredulously. Just now, the BMW car was parked sideways, so they didn’t pay attention to the license plate. It was only at this time that they saw it clearly, and they were, of course, surprised.
Liu Jifei also frowned. “Check it out and see what his background is! If he snatches a woman from me, he is looking for death.”
Liu Jifei was strong in appearance but weak in reality. Li Zhan naturally noticed it, but he was not worried. Although Liu Jifei was an illegitimate son of… the Liu Family’s collateral relative, he was still accepted by the Liu Family in previous years, so he was considered a son of the family. Although the family did not value him, the only advantage of the family was that they wouldn’t not care if he were bullied outside even though he was considered as a nobody in the family. After all, this involved the family’s face. They would definitely send someone over to regain their dignity. Otherwise, they couldn’t mingle in the upper class.
Therefore, Liu Jifei was always arrogant, and he was not afraid that someone would treat him badly. It’s just that Liu Jifei was not stupid. He just thought that he was not Yang Ming’s opponent, so he planned to bear it for a while before making a decision. Now, when he saw Yang Ming’s car, he felt that he had to be more careful by first finding out Yang Ming’s background.
After all, he didn’t know from what kind of power Yang Ming came. If it were the three other major families, then Liu Jifei could only remain silent as he went to provoke others and was taught a lesson. He might even need to approach the families and apologize. Liu Jifei would definitely not do this kind of silly thing.
Of course, if it were not the other three major families, Liu Jifei would not care. He wouldn’t care if you have more power in the place because the Liu Family could also destroy you. Liu Jifei was not afraid to cause any trouble.
Yang Ming still didn’t know that this Liu Jifei was “very influential” and didn’t take him seriously. When he returned home, Chen Mengyan had already come back from class and was eating something with Lin Zhiyun in the dining room.
Seeing Yang Ming come in, Chen Mengyan looked up and asked, “Yang Ming, you came back? Have you eaten? Sister Lin and I have just started eating.”
“Not yet. I will also have some food together.” Yang Ming nodded. Apparently, Lin Zhiyun had not eaten before but waited for Chen Mengyan to come back. From the time point of view, Chen Mengyan just left school. So the two people should have just started to eat. This could be seen from the food on the table; nothing much was touched.
Lin Zhiyun got up and passed utensils to Yang Ming. Yang Ming washed his hands and changed into his pajamas before he had dinner with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun.
“The food is not very tasty,” Chen Mengyan complained while eating. “It’s too greasy; it’s not good for the skin.”
Yang Ming nodded. Nowadays, many small restaurants’ dishes were very greasy, but it couldn’t be helped. After all, this was just a small community area. It was impossible to have a particularly large restaurant here.
“Then, let’s cook some ourselves. Right. Did Aunty Li say when she is coming back?” Yang Ming was asking about the family’s nanny, who was responsible for taking care of Zhou Jiajia in the hospital. Later, after Zhou Jiajia recovered, Yang Ming kept her around to work in the house.
Only a while ago, something happened in Aunty Li’s family, so she went back to her hometown. At that time, Yang Ming was in Africa, and he only knew after he came back.
“There was a phone call a few days ago, saying that things have not been handled well so that she couldn’t come back during this time.” Chen Mengyan shook her head. “Initially, it was nothing. I used to cook with Sister Lin and Jiajia every day. Even if one of us had classes at night, the other two could cook together. There were very few evenings where two or three of us had classes. But after Jiajia joined the research group, Sister Lin and I often don’t have a late class together, so we don’t really like to cook alone.”
“It’s fine. Aren’t I back? After I’m done with the art festival, I will cook with you every day.” Yang Ming said with a smile.
“This is what you said. Don’t renege at that time.” Chen Mengyan was happy and then said again, “But, you are busy every day. Until then, who knows what would happen? You aren’t someone who we could count on.”
Yang Ming was a bit ashamed, but he couldn’t help it. Indeed, he was too busy during this time. “I’m sorry…”
“It’s fine. You are busy with serious matters. How am I such an unreasonable person?” Chen Mengyan glanced at Yang Ming, and then casually asked, “Right, are there any other women outside? Why don’t you let them live with us? Then, we won’t need you.”
“I… ah …” Yang Ming didn’t defend himself; he almost slipped his mouth. He suddenly felt a cold sweat coming out. Chen Mengyan was not so easy to talk to. As Yang Ming looked at her carefreeness, it was hard to say whether she was testing him again. Yang Ming was shocked.
Chen Mengyan was just casually talking about it, but when she saw Yang Ming’s nervous look, her heart tightened. Did he hook up with someone outside? She said, somewhat sourly, “Did you?”
“Lan Ling is coming back soon. It has been half a year since the one-year timeline. If she progresses smoothly, she can come back earlier…” Yang Ming explained quickly.
” Oh … Lan Ling.” Chen Mengyan now had no hostility towards Lan Ling as compared to the past. Perhaps it was because her heart had opened up, maybe because she grew up, or because she loved Yang Ming too much, or because she was somewhat numb towards Lan Ling ever since the matters with Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia.
In the beginning, the hairs that she split were a bit extreme, but now, Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia had joined her life. They had not caused any confusion or influence. Instead, they had added a lot of joy. In the days when Yang Ming was not there, didn’t these three people spend time together?
So even if Lan Ling came back, as long as she was not too difficult to get along with, it was fine. As long as she came around to the idea, Chen Mengyan would not have her previous grudge. The facts had to be acknowledged sooner or later. So what if these facts were acknowledged a bit sooner than later?
“Then, welcome!” Chen Mengyan smiled and said, “I have long wanted to see her.”
Seeing that Chen Mengyan looked normal, Yang Ming was a bit puzzled. When did she become so easy-mannered? But recalling what Chen Mengyan had done in the past six months, Yang Ming knew that she really changed.
She was powerless to change Yang Ming, and she was unable to change some facts, so she could only change herself. Only in this way could she continue to be with Yang Ming. Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn’t help but be moved. “You are not angry?”
“Am I so narrow-minded?” Chen Mengyan glared at Yang Ming and pointed to Lin Zhiyun. It was apparent that she was trying to avoid saying some words she had said before in front of Lin Zhiyun to prevent Lin Zhiyun from hearing something and feel uncomfortable afterward.
Seeing that Chen Mengyan was so understanding, Yang Ming sighed softly and felt that if he didn’t treat her well in the future, there would be bad karma.
