In the distance, Yang Ming saw that Zhou Jiajia was standing alone close to the bonsai [1]. She was lost in thought, but he couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
Is what I did really too much before? But introducing others to her isn’t going overboard. Yang Ming was somewhat inexplicable, F*ck, this chick is really troublesome!
Your lips are short when trying to eat others [2]. If he hadn’t kissed Zhou Jiajia, Yang Ming would be too lazy to entertain her. But now, Yang Ming had no choice but to go up to her.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Zhou Jiajia immediately turned around. When she saw Yang Ming, she couldn’t help but be stunned. Just now Zhou Jiajia had also figured out that she shouldn’t be angry at Yang Ming for no reason!
Why does Yang Ming have to like me? I have hurt Yang Ming and hurt Su Ya. It’s already great that Yang Ming didn’t look down on me! The results I have gotten now are already very gratifying. Why do I still demand so much more?
At the very least, Yang Ming isn’t so disgusted with me now. As long as it is such, it’s okay, isn’t it? This was much better than Yang Ming’s attitude toward me last time!
Therefore, Zhou Jiajia decided to take the initiative to apologize to Yang Ming. When she saw Yang Ming come over, she said quickly, “Yang Ming, my emotions were a bit unstable before… I’m sorry!”
” En ?” Yang Ming was stunned! Why did Zhou Jiajia take the initiative to apologize to me? Yang Ming couldn’t help but think of another person! Wang Zhitao! At that time, after Wang Zhitao took the initiative to apologize to me, nothing good came out of it. Is Zhou Jiajia thinking about how to set me up?
Yang Ming’s eyes widened and carefully observed Zhou Jiajia’s expression. It’s so sincere without any fake expressions!
Ai! Yang Ming sighed in his heart. Forget it. I am always on guard with her already. Moreover, the Yang Ming then and now was not the same at all. I am not afraid of what Zhou Jiajia would do! So, he waved and said, “Forget it. I won’t matchmake you anymore in the future. Whoever you choose to like, you decide…”
“Really?” Zhou Jiajia’s eyes turned. She smiled and said, “So, I can like you, too?”
“Whatever, as long as you like it…” Yang Ming was afraid that Zhou Jiajia would be enraged again so he simply nodded. Besides, he didn’t take it seriously. Zhou Jiajia had said that she liked him several times already, but Yang Ming never felt that he could attract Zhou Jiajia in any way. So, he only took it as a joke and didn’t really take it seriously.
” Hehe …” Zhou Jiajia giggled twice and was at loss of what to do. Yang Ming answered it this way. Zhou Jiajia didn’t know whether she should be joyous or sad! Why does Yang Ming not believe that I like him?
But the road to love is tough, and Zhou Jiajia had the confidence to continue.
“Right, this is the entertainment card that Sui Guangqi gave to us. Whatever you want to play, let’s go together.” Yang Ming was feeling helpless too. He didn’t know anyone around him. After Sun Haoming went to fool around with the Oiran [3], the only person he was familiar with was Zhou Jiajia.
“Okay!” Zhou Jiajia was very happy. Yang Ming took the initiative to invite her to play with him. As for what to play, it didn’t matter as long as she was with Yang Ming.
Wasn’t there a great sentence about this? It’s not about what you’re playing. It’s about who you’re playing with. Zhou Jiajia was feeling this way strongly. Even if all she and Yang Ming did was to stand stupidly, she would feel very happy.
“Where are we going?” Yang Ming handed the entertainment card to Zhou Jiajia and asked.
“Well, anything. You decide!” Zhou Jiajia said.
“Then… go swimming?” Yang Ming asked. To be honest, Yang Ming had no other lewd thought, but he felt that there were too many things happening in the recent past. So, he could ease his stress in the water.
However, Zhou Jiajia’s face turned red, and she was mumbling. She didn’t say yes, but she didn’t refuse either.
Yang Ming was a bit puzzled, “Are you okay?” But he suddenly thought, Did Zhou Jiajia misunderstand that I want to check out beautiful women? So he explained quickly, “That… I just want to go swimming. No other intentions…”
” En … I know… but I… actually…” Zhou Jiajia blushed and she bit her teeth and said, “I have that today…”
” Ugh … ah ?” Yang Ming immediately understood what Zhou Jiajia meant, and suddenly he was also embarrassed, “Then it’s fine. Let’s go play at the game hall…”
In fact, there was a reason why Zhou Jiajia would be angry at Yang Ming just now. For women, there were a few days every month when their temper wasn’t so good, and Zhou Jiajia was just caught up with this today. Hence, she raged at Yang Ming. Otherwise, Zhou Jiajia wouldn’t be the kind of person who would be easily enraged.
“Okay…” Zhou Jiajia nodded. She followed Yang Ming obediently and walked together with him to another area.
“Hey, buddy. Let me ask you. Where’s the game hall?” Yang Ming patted the shoulder of a big man in front of him with a security uniform.
“It’s right at the front with a left turn… eh?” When the big man looked back and saw Yang Ming, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Zhang Penbai?” Yang Ming was also stunned. He didn’t expect to meet him again so soon.
“That er … I’m sorry for before… I’m leaving. You both go play…” Zhang Penbai said awkwardly then he wanted to turn and leave.
“Wait!” Yang Ming suddenly stopped him.
“Is there anything else?” Zhang Penbai asked.
“Did Sui Guangqi instruct you all to fake that incident before?” Yang Ming asked directly.
“What incident? What are you talking about…” Zhang Penbai pretended not to understand it and stared at Yang Ming inexplicably.
“Your men teasing my friend before. You can’t forget it so soon, can you?” Yang Ming said coldly.
” Hmph , kid, I was giving you face before. Don’t think that because you are a guest of the young master, I won’t dare to beat you up!” Zhang Penbai realized that Yang Ming had noticed something, so he threatened Yang Ming to stop him from continuing.
“Really? Then I have to see if you really have that ability.” Yang Ming said indifferently, “I’ll ask you again. Yes or no?”
Yang Ming’s fierce spirit made Zhang Penbai felt chilled and a little unbelievable. How old is Yang Ming? But the murderous vibe made me feel a little scared!
“I don’t like being fooled. You directed a play, and foolishly let me become the hero to save the damsel in distress? Was it fun?” Yang Ming said with a sneer.
Yes, Yang Ming was very angry! The only reason he acted was that he couldn’t stand it anymore, but he didn’t expect it to be a drama. E ven if I didn’t take any actions, the two little gangsters won’t dare to do anything to Zhou Jiajia. Then didn’t I waste my effort? Yang Ming had a feeling of being toyed like a monkey, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhang Penbai was rather enraged in his heart. Who asked you to be so meddlesome and busybody? No one asked you to stick up for her anyway. You were the one who decided to do so! Not only did you destroy the good thing of Sui Guangqi, but you blamed it on me!
“Think whatever you want. I am leaving if there’s nothing else.” Zhang Penbai didn’t answer it directly. He turned around and wanted to leave.
“Are you only willing to tell the truth after I give a call to Bao Sanli?” Yang Ming saw that Zhang Penbai wasn’t affected by it, so he had to threaten him with Bao Sanli.
As for whether it would be useful or not, Yang Ming wasn’t clear about that. After all, this wasn’t the downtown area of Song Jiang. Yang Ming asked this question because he was upset and he wanted to vent.
However, after Zhang Penbai heard the name Bao Sanli, his whole body trembled and he quickly turned around.
“Do you know Brother Bao?” Zhang Penbai asked carefully.
“Do you need me to call him to prove it to you?” Yang Ming glared at him and pretended to take out his cell phone.
“No need… No need…” Zhang Penbai quickly shook his head.
If Yang Ming were to really call Bao Sanli, then things would be a big deal!Therefore, Zhang Penbai rather believed it than to risk it. Moreover, only the ruthless talents in the underworld knew Bao Sanli’s full name. Most gangsters who knew “Brother Bao” would be not bad already.
Now, which underworld forces near Song Jiang wouldn’t know of Bao Sanli? The bosses of these border counties have also received invitations to attend Bao Sanli’s banquet for New Year’s Day! They would have to queue up to flatter him. Who would want to provoke Bao Sanli?
Even though Zhang Penbai had a pretty good job with the Sui Family, it didn’t mean that he would be loyal to the Sui Family. If he couldn’t do it here, he could do it for another family. There was not much loss to him. But if he triggered Bao Sanli, the consequences would be severe!
So, having weighed the pros and cons, Zhang Penbai still nodded and said, “Yes, it was arranged by Sui Guangqi.”
Yang Ming nodded. He only wanted a definitive answer. Sui Guangqi, Yang Ming remembered him.
