Chapter 1683: The Consequences of a Stupid Mouth

“Big Ming, you are really back!” Mother Yang was scrubbing the living room’s floor. As she turned around, she saw Yang Ming walking through the door.

“Mom, why are you still doing house chores so late at night? Didn’t I hire a maid?” Yang Ming couldn’t help but frown when he saw that his mom was personally scrubbing the floor.

“When I worked part-time in the community before, I did this sort of work the whole day. Now that I’ve become the manager of a logistics company, there is nothing for me to do. However, my body can’t just slack off. I will feel uncomfortable if I don’t do house chores for a day,” Mother Yang laughed. “I am old now. I’ll just treat this as an exercise to move my body around.”

Yang Ming nodded helplessly after hearing his mother’s words. This habit had been with her for her whole life. She wouldn’t be able to change it that easily.

“Where is dad?” Yang Ming asked.

“He is watching the television while lying down in the bedroom. He probably didn’t hear you return,” Mother Yang told Yang Ming as she looked at the closed bedroom door. “You want to see him?”

“En,” After Yang Ming changed into slippers, he walked through the living room to his parent’s bedroom. Yang Ming knocked on the door, pushed it open and entered.

“What is wrong with you? Why bother knocking on the door when you want to come in?” Yang Dahai thought that it was his wife who had come in, so he mumbled. His eyes fixed on the television screen, and he did not look back.

“Dad, it’s me. I’m back.” Yang Ming turned on the bedroom’s light and walked to the bed’s side.

” Oh? Didn’t you have dinner with Mengyan’s family? Why did you come back so fast?” Yang Dahai was a little shocked when he saw that it was Yang Ming. He immediately sat up.

“Don’t mention it…” Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, “We parted unhappily.”

“Parted unhappily? What happened? You argued with Chen Mengyan?” Yang Dahai frowned and asked.

“Of course not,” Yang Ming shook his head. ” Uncle Chen was with some members of the Chen Family Village. Today, an entrepreneur came back from the South. He thought that he was very rich since he had just a few hundred million yuan. After he came back, he wanted to treat everyone from the Chen Family Village to dinner. Uncle Chen’s family naturally went along.”

“A few hundred million? You’re quite full of yourself!” Yang Dahai looked at Yang Ming, but did not say anything else. Indeed, a few hundred million was worth nothing to the current Yang Family. “After that?”

“After that, he kept trying to please Chen Mengyan. The worst thing was that the old patriarch of the Chen Family Village announced that Chen Mengyan had to marry that entrepreneur’s son…” Yang Ming felt that it was both infuriating and funny when he spoke until here “Does he think that he is an emperor? In the end, we naturally ended up parting unhappily.”

Yang Ming did not say anything about the two bodyguards and his fierce conflict with them. Instead, he described everything simply, which made it sound like a joke. He was afraid that his father would be worried after discovering the truth.

Although Yang Ming had enough power to protect himself, his father didn’t know about it. He didn’t want to make his father worry too much.

“Is that so…” After hearing what Yang Ming said, Yang Dahai shook his head helplessly. “All gentlemen want to pursue a pretty lady. It is very normal. As for that elder patriarch… After all, old men tend to be a little stubborn. Don’t be too harsh on him.”

” Hehe, of course I know this.” Yang Ming smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about such unhappy stuff. Let’s talk about you and mom. How’s your body condition recently?”

“How else can it be? We enjoy good food and drinks every day. There are even personal doctors to give your mom and I annual check-ups. What problem can we have?” Yang Dahai smiled bitterly, “Thinking about it, other than that brief sense of accomplishment you get from ordering people around, it’s not as free like it used to be.”

“The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. You have to think of the future of the business and the benefits of thousands of workers. Naturally, we have less time for ourselves,” Yang Ming let out a sigh when he spoke until here. Although it seemed like he was comforting Yang Dahai, he was actually comforting himself as well. Ever since Yang Ming had gotten the special abilities, he had become the King of Assassins’ disciple, taken control of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group and the Charles Family, and had become a member of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. He had too many affairs to deal with every day. Although it involved both private and official matters, he wasn’t as free as he used to be.

The ordinary school life was already very far away from Yang Ming. Yang Ming really hoped that he would be able to end his current busyness and fighting one day, and enjoy his university life with peace of mind.

However, it seemed impossible in the near future.

“You’re right.” Yang Dahai nodded. “This was also why I insisted on not moving to a bigger house. Actually, your uncle has already advised me to turn the abandoned factory into a new residence and build a few villas there. However, I feel that it won’t be as comfortable as it is here. Although this place isn’t very big, it contains some of our family’s warmest memories.

Now, you’ve grown up, and I have become much busier than before. You seem to be much busier than me. Only your mom is still considered to be leisurely. Now, we’re spending less and less time together. Other than the few days during Chinese New Year, you didn’t come back at all.”

“…” Yang Ming could not do anything about it. Many matters had arisen after Chinese New Year.

The whole night was spent without any more talking. Yang Ming stayed overnight at his house. The next morning, he went to Chen Mengyan’s house first to fetch her before he went to the villa in Huashang District. There, he saw Zhou Jiajia and Lin Zhiyun.

The two of them had calmed down and stopped panicking when they knew that Chen Mengyan had returned safely yesterday. When they saw Chen Mengyan, they just showed how much they had missed and worried about her. They showed no signs of shock.

It had been a long time since Yang Ming had last gone to school. Today, he naturally wanted to go to school to take a look. However, as the four of them walked out of the villa and were preparing to get into the car, an unexpected incident happened.

“Teacher Zhao… Sister Ying?” Chen Mengyan’s voice made Yang Ming anxious. Although nothing physical had happened between him and Zhao Ying, they were both well aware of the flirtatious and cold war that existed between them.

At such a time, he met Zhao Ying! It was also under the condition where he was together with Chen Mengyan, Zhou Jiajia, and Lin Zhiyun.

“Mengyan, you’re all going to school together?” Zhao Ying’s tone was very dull. It had no ripples of emotions in it. She just smiled at Chen Mengyan in a friendly manner.

“Sister Ying …” Yang Ming had no choice but to turn his body around. As he called Zhao Ying Sister Ying, his gaze fell on Wang Xiaoyan who was beside her. It seemed like Zhao Ying had stayed overnight in Wang Xiaoyan’s house. Today, they were planning to go to school together, but they did not expect to meet their neighbor.

Wang Xiaoyan smiled faintly and blinked at Yang Ming. After that, she looked at Chen Mengyan and greeted her with a courteous wave. Wang Xiaoyan and Chen Mengyan had previously met each other on Valentine’s day. They had even had their hair done together. At that time, Chen Mengyan’s junior high school classmate was still chasing Wang Xiaoyan.

Chen Mengyan also nodded her head back politely. The two of them were not close and had no deep bonds with each other. She was just a little curious as to why both Wang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ying would appear together near her house’s gate.

Wang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ying had come out first, so Chen Mengyan did not realize that Wang Xiaoyan was her neighbor.

“Sister Ying, are you also going to school?” Yang Ming asked a pointless question.

” En. Yanyan and I have classes this morning.” Zhao Ying nodded. Her face showed a complicated expression. It only appeared for a few moments, so it was barely noticeable.

Hearing the voices of the girls around Yang Ming, Zhao Ying’s heart had another ripple. Initially, she had planned to not have anything to do with Yang Ming anymore. However, an unrealistic idea popped into her mind when she saw Yang Ming.

“You appeared just in time. Let’s go together…” Chen Mengyan did not currently have her guard up against Zhao Ying. Instead, she felt sorry for what had happened last time.

“Sure.” Initially, Zhao Ying wanted to reject it. However, the word she blurted out was “sure” instead.

Yang Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her saying “sure”. He thought, What do you mean by sure? There wouldn’t be a problem if only Zhao Ying was here. Now, there is the great assassin Wang Xiaoyan as well. This matter will not turn out good if she is angered.

Yang Ming really wanted to slap himself. Why is my mouth so stupid? Why did I ask such a stupid question? I asked if she’s going to school… This will turn out to be a tragedy.

Chapter 1684: Terrified

“Yang Ming, what happened to you?” Chen Mengyan asked confused when she noticed Yang Ming’s strange expression.

“No… Nothing…” Yang Ming laughed forcefully twice, “Can so many people fit in the car?”

“they should be able to,” Chen Mengyan looked at the spacious X5 and pointed at the back seat, “You can fit four people here. We’re not fat, so it won’t be cramped at all! If we really can’t fit, I’ll drive alone and fetch Sister Zhao Ying.”

Alone? Yang Ming was suddenly terrified. He immediately said, “We should be able to fit in? Oh, then let’s get into the car…”

Chen Mengyan frowned after hearing Yang Ming’s rambling. However, she did not notice anything suspicious. After the car door was opened, she let Wang Xiaoyan and Zhao Ying get inside first. After that, Lin Zhiyun and Chen Mengyan beside them. She told Zhou Jiajia, “Jiajia, how about you sit in front?”

“En…” Zhou Jiajia could tell that Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun wanted to let her interact more with Yang Ming for some unknown reason. After giving it deep thought, she finally thought of the shameful reason. Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun acted like this because Yang Ming had not slept with her yet.

Every time Chen Mengyan hinted her about it, Zhou Jiajia would blush a little. Since Zhao Ying was there, Zhou Jiajia was better off not saying anything. She nodded and sat in the front passenger seat.

Yang Ming only hoped that he could reach school faster so Zhao Ying, Wang Xiaoyan and Chen Mengyan could split up. This way, he wouldn’t expose anything at least.

Naturally, Wang Xiaoyan was aware of why Yang Ming was so nervous. She laughed secretly. He usually looks like he has everything under control. It turns out that he can also be so anxious.

“Sister Ying, is this the person who bullied you during the new year temple fair?” Wang Xiaoyan suddenly had an idea. She decided to make fun of them.

“Ah?” Zhao Ying was shocked. She never expected Wang Xiaoyan to suddenly bring up this matter. Zhao Ying had previously told Wang Xiaoyan about everything that had happened. Is she implying something by mentioning this now?

Yang Ming broke out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth angrily. This Wang Xiaoyan is really too much. I’ll find a chance to subject her to a spanking session. She only gives me troubles. Wasn’t she the reason why this conflict started?

However, Zhao Ying did not reply to her. Instead, Chen Mengyan quickly said, “That’s right, Wang Xiaoyan. After we went to the temple fair together, he accompanied Sister Ying there. Because of some accident, he fell onto Sister Ying’s body. Coincidentally, I saw it, which made me accuse Sister Ying… Sister Ying, are you still angry now?”

“I… I’m not angry. It is already in the past,” Zhao Ying shook her head in fear. Her intention of wanting to face Yang Ming started to waver.

When she remembered how angry Chen Mengyan was during that time, Zhao Ying still felt afraid. While Chen Mengyan normally looked very calm and peaceful, she was terrifying when she became really angry.

Zhao Ying also knew why Chen Mengyan had accepted Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia, but not her. It was because she was Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming’s teacher, and she was a person whom Chen Mengyan trusted and respected. If they were to become sisters, Chen Mengyan would not be able to accept it mentally.

The teacher and elder sister that she had always relied on was suddenly sharing her man with her. No matter who it was, they wouldn’t be able to accept it. Chen Mengyan wouldn’t be at fault if she became angry. It was just a matter of mindset and mentality interfering with her.

This was also why Zhao Ying had rejected Yang Ming under that summer night sky. She was worried about her identity.

Although Zhao Ying and Yang Ming were both university students now, her mindset still remained. This was why Zhao Ying did not dare to take a step forward.

” Oh right, Sister Ying. Why did you appear in front of my house gate?” Chen Mengyan asked as she suddenly remembered what had happened before.

“That place is not your house door. It’s actually Yanyan’s.” Zhao Ying smiled, “You’re all Yanyan’s neighbor. Didn’t you know about it?”

” Huh? Wang Xiaoyan is living next to us?” Chen Mengyan was dumbstruck as she looked at Wang Xiaoyan. Although she was not that close to Wang Xiaoyan, they had met a few times. Chen Mengyan was shocked when she found out that Wang Xiaoyan was actually her neighbor.

“I rarely live here. I was also shocked to see you and Yang Ming live beside me.” Wang Xiaoyan smiled plainly, which made Yang Ming calm down. It seemed like Wang Xiaoyan was scaring him just now for the excitement of it. She did not want to actually leak anything.

“Is that so? That’s such a coincidence. You can come to visit my house next time.” Chen Mengyan was not suspicious of anything. Indeed, she rarely saw anyone in the villa beside hers.

” Hehe, sure. Sister Ying also lives in this residence. Do you know about it?” Wang Xiaoyan suddenly winked and said.

” Ah? Sister Ying also has a house in this district?” This time, Chen Mengyan was really shocked. These two people whom she knew were living in her district, and yet she knew nothing about it.

Yang Ming suddenly started sweating. He thought, Is Wang Xiaoyan done yet? She keeps on playing with such a dangerous topic. Isn’t she afraid of exposing anything?

“It’s close to school,” Zhao Ying suddenly felt nervous and glared at Wang Xiaoyan. After that, she said unnaturally, “The house was lent to me by a friend. He owns many houses…”

“Oh.” Chen Mengyan didn’t give it any thought. After all, Zhao Ying’s words were not suspicious. It was very normal to borrow a friend’s house. “Sister Ying, remember to come to visit me lots! If not, there is nothing to do in our house because Yang Ming is always not around. If you all come, it will be more lively…”

Lively, huh… Yang Ming smiled bitterly. I t would be great if you still feel that it’s very lively if the two of them were to move in and stay together with you.

“Alright, we’re here. My classroom is over there!” Zhao Ying pointed at a teaching building in the school.

” En , I’ll get down here too,” said Wang Xiaoyan.

Finally arrived? Yang Ming stopped the car beside the teaching building. He smiled forcefully, “Sister Ying, Yan… Wang Xiaoyan, goodbye.”

Yang Ming almost called Wang Xiaoyan as Yanyan.

The school was only a few minutes away from the district. But for Yang Ming, it felt like he had been tortured for a long time. His whole body was filled with cold sweat. He finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw the silhouettes of Zhao Ying and Wang Xiaoyan getting further and further away.

After Yang Ming sent both Lin Zhiyun and Chen Mengyan to their individual teaching buildings, he dropped Zhou Jiajia by the computer science teaching building.

Zhou Jiajia’s facial expression was very subdued. She had not said anything after Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun had left. She seemed to enjoy the warmth of being alone with Yang Ming.

When Yang Ming parked the car at the teaching building, Zhou Jiajia reluctantly got off. “Last time when I was in junior high school, I yearned to be like Sister Su Ya whenever I saw the two of you coming to school together.”

Listening to Zhou Jiajia’s mumble, Yang Ming’s heart was shocked. This girl’s needs and dreams are so simple. And yet, the me from last time had always been ignorant of her feelings. In fact, Yang Ming could have helped Zhou Jiajia fulfill this dream long ago… He had been together with Zhou Jiajia for so long, and yet he had never gone to school with her before… Although part of this was also because he was busy, Yang Ming still felt terrible.

“Let’s go together at night?” Yang Ming said after locking the car.

” Hehe, there’s no need to. I want to find Sister Xiao Qing later, as I still have some projects to work on.” Zhou Jiajia smiled, “I was just complaining a little. I’m very satisfied now. Now that I can stay with you every day, it has already exceeded my dream from last time.”

“Alright then… I’ll wait for you to finish your stuff.” Yang Ming nodded and walked into the teaching building together with Zhou Jiajia.

The scene of Zhou Jiajia walking down from the luxurious car was witnessed by Li Boliang. He felt as if he was struck by lightning. He almost fainted as his vision turned black.

Li Boliang had heard of cases where a pretty female student was having an affair with a rich guy, and she was driven by a luxurious car every day. However, since it was not related to him, he never thought about it. Now he saw the girl he admired come down from a BMW with a young boy. They were also flirting with each other. How could Li Boliang accept this?
