Chapter 123 — The Zhong Father and Son [Asking for Monthly Tickets, Five Updates Done, Tang Yun Asks Everyone, Do You Have Any Monthly Tickets...]

Although Wei Zhao did not really feel much pain, he still gave a bitter smile. Tang Yun clearly could not stand the sight of him. That morning he had still been dreaming of developing a pure and innocent romance... and it had been shattered so quickly.

It looked as though Tang Yun was most likely out of the question, which left only Shen Yushu, and she did not seem very likely either...

"Boss, why does Tang Yun seem to hold such a grudge against you?" Kang Xiaobo had never been able to figure it out. Wei Zhao and Tang Yun had not known each other before, so why had Tang Yun been glaring at Wei Zhao from the very moment they met?

"If I knew that, would the problem not already be solved?" Wei Zhao explained with some exasperation.

"That is true, but hey? Boss, do you think it is possible that Tang Yun likes you?" Kang Xiaobo suddenly said.

"Huh? Likes me? What makes you say that?" Wei Zhao froze and stared at Kang Xiaobo in astonishment.

"I heard about a guy from a few classes above us. There was a girl in his class, the study rep, who liked him, so she was always picking on him. Whenever he skipped class or anything, she would give him a good lecture..." Kang Xiaobo said. "Do you think Tang Yun could be the same way?"

Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. You have to take things case by case, do you not?

"What you describe is possible enough, but Tang Yun has only known me for two and a half days, and she already likes me? Is that possible?" Wei Zhao shook his head. If you put it that way, the young miss finds fault with me all day long too, so does that mean she likes me as well?

"That is true enough..." Kang Xiaobo gave two dry laughs and walked on toward the school together with Wei Zhao.

When they were almost at the school gate, Kang Xiaobo suddenly pointed at a spot not far ahead and said, "Boss, look, it is Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu..."

"Oh..." Wei Zhao had been keeping Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in the corner of his eye all along, so he was not surprised at all.

"Eh? Boss, look, the car they are riding in looks just like the one you were riding in just now." Kang Xiaobo's powers of observation were still quite sharp.

"Really? Not quite the same, is it?" Wei Zhao laughed it off. "Come on, forget about them."

"True enough. They are too far above us, not realistic." Kang Xiaobo sighed with a world-weary air. "That lofty, high-above-us feeling of rich people, I know it all too well..."

Wei Zhao had no idea why Kang Xiaobo would suddenly let out such a sigh. Judging from their contact over the past few days, Kang Xiaobo's family background could not be called especially good, but it could not be called bad either. It was middling at best, so what did he mean by that...

But in order to keep Kang Xiaobo from fixating on the car, Wei Zhao did not ask any more questions, and quickened his pace with him into the school.

A Mercedes-Benz S600L stopped not far from the front of the school, still some distance from Uncle Qing's Bentley, and did not pull any closer.

"That old bastard Li Fu's car is up ahead, so I will not drive over. Did you remember what I told you or not?" Zhong Fabai glared at his son in the passenger seat and lectured him with the bitterness of a father disappointed in his son.

"I remembered... Dad." Zhong Yongliang answered carefully. "I will not meddle in that idle business anymore..."

By idle business he naturally meant the affair with Wei Zhao. He dared not say that he himself had wanted to make trouble for Wei Zhao, and instead pinned the blame for picking a fight with Wei Zhao on Zhang Naipao. Zhang Naipao had gotten his foot stepped on by Wei Zhao, so he had only gone to get back his honor for him. That way he could lighten some of the responsibility on himself.

Zhong Fabai moved in a world that was half black and half white, and he naturally honored brotherly loyalty, so he did not explode too badly over Zhong Yongliang standing up for his buddy. He merely cursed Zhong Yongliang roundly and told him to stop meddling in idle affairs, nothing more.

"Do you know you almost ruined my great plan this time? You got my right-hand man Black Panther thrown into the station, and he probably will not get out for years. Luckily he does not know much, otherwise..." Zhong Fabai snorted. "Remember this. Your first and foremost duty at school is to get that little chick Gu Mengyao into your hands. Do not think about anything else, do you hear me?"

"I understand, Dad, I will do my best." Zhong Yongliang hurriedly promised.

"Mm... if you get Gu Mengyao into your hands, your father will never have to watch your uncle's face again." Zhong Fabai patted Zhong Yongliang on the shoulder. "All right, go on, make the most of your time. Before that old fox Gu Pengzhan catches on, turn the raw rice into cooked rice, or it will be too late."

Zhong Fabai was no fool. He did have some influence in Songshan City, but compared with Gu Pengzhan he fell far short. If Gu Pengzhan openly recruited a son-in-law, he would certainly never look twice at Zhong Yongliang, so Zhong Fabai told his son to strike first and gain the advantage.

Zhong Yongliang meekly agreed to his father's words. Although he hated Wei Zhao in his heart, without his father's support he really could do nothing to Wei Zhao on his own. If his father gave him full backing and brought over a squad of guards from the nightclub, Zhong Yongliang refused to believe Wei Zhao could fight four hands with two fists. Even if he could handle four hands, what about ten hands or twenty? He refused to believe they could not beat him to death.

Wei Zhao, I will let you off for now. Once I have hooked Gu Mengyao and Father is pleased enough to hand his men over to me, that will be the day you die. Zhong Yongliang thought hatefully...

Even though he was unwilling, he could only swallow it and keep it in his heart, and see if he could find a way to make a little trouble for Wei Zhao and disgust him. As long as it was not open confrontation, Wei Zhao would not be able to suspect him...

"Yaoyao..." Zhong Yongliang dashed forward a couple of steps and chased after her.

"Sister Yaoyao, the fly is back again... I told you, if you paired up with Shield Brother sooner and flew off together as lovebirds, you would not have all this trouble..." Shen Yushu said with a giggle, pointing behind her.

Gu Mengyao rolled her eyes and turned around with some helplessness. "Zhong Yongliang, are you deaf?"

Zhong Yongliang froze. Why was Gu Mengyao suddenly calling him deaf? What was going on here? He was the one who had called out to her, so why was she talking about him?

"Yaoyao... what do you mean by that? What deaf?" Zhong Yongliang was utterly baffled.

"Last time at the school gate, when you called me Yaoyao, I told you not to call me Yaoyao, call me by my full name... So I can only conclude that either you have an IQ problem with very poor comprehension, or you are deaf." Gu Mengyao said.

Stung by Gu Mengyao's sarcasm, Zhong Yongliang's face turned very ugly at once. In his heart he cursed, you little bitch, you are just a bit prettier and born into a better family, that is all? Just wait until I win you over, hmph, and we will see how I deal with you.

But since he had not won her over yet, Zhong Yongliang naturally wore a pleasant and fawning smile. "Heh heh, my uncle is colleagues with Uncle Chu, so our families count as old family friends. I thought calling you Yaoyao would sound more affectionate..."

"Oh, then call me whatever you like..." Gu Mengyao really was too lazy to bother with him anymore.

Hearing Gu Mengyao's words, Zhong Yongliang was instantly overjoyed. Did this mean Gu Mengyao had agreed to let him call her Yaoyao?

But Gu Mengyao's next words left Zhong Yongliang disappointed. "You can call me Yaoyao all you want, I just will not answer."
