Chapter 183 — Zhong Yongliang's Scheme
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
In all of vast Songshan No.1 High School, there were only three such girls! Two of them he simply could not touch, for whoever touched them was asking for death, and Zou Ruoming was no fool!
Gu Mengyao's father was the chairman of the Gu Group, a man who could shake Songshan with a stamp of his foot, and only someone with a family background like Zhong Yongliang's dared to pursue her, yet even Zhong Yongliang did not dare to use force.
And Shen Yushu... that little girl even Zhong Yongliang dared not touch, with Wu Xiaocan's painful lesson still fresh before everyone's eyes!
But Tang Yun came with no such complications. Zou Ruoming had looked into her family background until it was crystal clear. Her parents were both laid-off workers, her father bedridden for years from a work injury, and her mother running a food stall in the snack street behind the school!
A family that could not even get compensation for the father's medical bills, what power could they possibly have? So in Zou Ruoming's eyes, having Tang Yun in his grasp was a foregone conclusion, and even if he forced himself upon her, a family like hers could only swallow the insult in silence!
That was also why Zou Ruoming had been so unscrupulous from the start in pursuing Tang Yun, driving her nearly to despair with no way out, for in his view, if Wei Zhao had not butted in, Tang Yun would already have been his woman!
Now Tang Yun had actually accepted Wei Zhao's confession. Saving a beauty might be a cliche, but it was also very effective, and it must have been his own turn as the villain that day that had given Wei Zhao his chance!
Zou Ruoming felt some regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he might as well have hired a few underlings to play the villains and then shown off his own prowess!
Sitting under the basketball hoop, Zou Ruoming sulked, and his lackeys, knowing he was in a foul mood, stood by in fearful silence, not daring to speak...
"Brother Ming, what's the matter? Why so glum?" Zhong Yongliang had spotted Zou Ruoming sitting under the hoop from far away with a miserable look on his face, his expression shifting between anger and regret, and he could naturally guess why. At once Zhong Yongliang keenly realized this was a perfect chance to teach Wei Zhao a lesson!
"Oh, it's Liangzi..." Zou Ruoming lifted his eyelids for a glance, and seeing it was Zhong Yongliang, he felt no embarrassment. Zhong Yongliang was no better off than he was, having also suffered at Wei Zhao's hands, with even his father's right-hand man thrown into the lockup. The two of them were just the pot calling the kettle black. "Come to laugh at me..."
"Brother Ming, what kind of talk is that! I have always respected you..." Zhong Yongliang slapped a lackey standing beside Zou Ruoming, and the lackey hurriedly gave up his seat so Zhong Yongliang could sit down beside Zou Ruoming.
"Liangzi, your brother has been slapped in the face this time..." Zou Ruoming sighed and said bitterly, "Everyone who matters in this school knows I was pursuing Tang Yun, yet that bastard Wei Zhao beat me to it. I cannot swallow this insult..."
"Brother Ming, I think you have just been too conservative in this matter..." Zhong Yongliang said with an air of deep regret. "With Tang Yun's little family background, she cannot make any big waves! As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. Brother Ming, if you had just taken her by force, would Tang Yun not be yours by now?"
"As for me, even if I wanted to use force now, I would not dare! You know as well as I do, Gu Mengyao's family is even more powerful than mine..."
"Ah, Liangzi, you are so right! You have no idea how much I regret it now!" Zou Ruoming's face darkened. "If I had known, I would have forced myself on her. Your brother is a professional at that sort of thing, I have done it before!" "Exactly..." Zhong Yongliang said. "Then how could that dog Wei Zhao have beaten you to her..."
