91 Ism Done with You! (2/2)
Long Tianze could no longer tolerate what he was hearing any further and interjected, ”If you don't wish to hear him out, then just hang up and turn off your phone. You won't have to listen to him anymore, then.”
”Shut up!” Jin Qingyue retorted.
Mei Yangyang turned to look at Long Tianze, only to realize that he seemed to be in a foul mood.
What happened shortly after caught Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang by surprise. Jin Qingyue, who had been raging with anger just minutes ago, began to laugh and beam with happiness. How strange!
Furthermore, the initial animosity between the two began to fade as they began to speak sweet nothings to each other over the phone.
Long Tianze could not believe what he had just witnessed. The swift shift in her mood was just too sudden and extreme. What an expert Shi Shaochuan was at cajoling women!
Jin Qingyue finally ended the call before she arrived home. Having changed her mind, she said, ”I've decided not to go home, drop me off at the traffic light.”
All of a sudden, Long Tianze stepped on the brakes, catching Jin Qingyue off guard. She hit her head against the seat in front of her. ”What are you doing!?!” she hollered.
Mei Yangyang remained still in the passenger seat because she had buckled the safety belt. She could sense that Long Tianze was extremely upset.
”I'll give you a lift if you're heading home, if not, please get down from my car. I'm not your personal chauffeur.”
Jin Qingyue was taken aback by his words and felt slightly embarrassed as she said, ”Forget it, I'll alight right here. Are you happy now? What a petty miser.”
She alighted from the car and slammed the door close forcefully with a thud.
A sullen and stern expression formed on Long Tianze's face as he drove off abruptly.
Sensing the austerity and tension which filled the air, Mei Yangyang dared not speak a word, though she found his angry self rather charismatic.
Several minutes later, Long Tianze broke the silence, ”Why aren't you speaking?”
”I don't know… what to say. Do you fancy Ms. Jin?” she asked softly.
”Who said so?”
”No one, it's just, I could tell. Do you not?” Mei Yangyang continued to ask as she shot him a glance.
”Of course… I don't.” Long Tianze mellowed his voice, and he continued to speak, ”We grew up together, and everyone knows she's dating the wrong guy. Everyone except herself. She's going to suffer and be taken advantage of, sooner or later.”
Upon seeing his denial, Mei Yangyang did not continue to try and guess if he was speaking the truth. It did not concern her, anyway.
Having arrived at her doorstep, Mei Yangyang quickly thanked him, ”Thank you so much for sending me home.”
Just as she was about to alight, Long Tianze reached out to grab her by her arm. Mei Yangyang turned around and asked, ”Is there anything else?”
He let go abruptly and said instead, ”Nothing, goodnight.”
”Goodnight,” Mei Yangyang alighted and waved him goodbye after closing the door.
Long Tianze watched as she closed the car door and left afterwards.
”What are you doing here?” Mei Yangyang asked at the sight of Mei Shuangshuang standing behind her.
”Who was the man in the luxury car?”
Mei Yangyang avoided her question and instead brushed her off coldly, ”That's none of your business.”
Mei Shuangshuang followed closely behind her and continued to probe, ”Sis, is he your boyfriend?”
”No.”
”In that case, introduce him to me. If I succeed in getting him to date me, I'll share some of the benefits with you.”
Mei Yangyang stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Mei Shuangshuang, whose face was covered in thick makeup. ”Save it, drop that idea of yours. You may go look for that toad in the river instead,” she sneered.
”You…” Mei Shuangshuang was at a loss for words.
Completely ignoring Mei Shuangshuang, she entered the house.
”Then tell me, was that man in the car the same one who carried you home that night?”
Mei Yangyang continued to ignore her as she switched on the heating carpet, removed her shoes, and climbed onto bed, not speaking a word to her at all.
Upon seeing her sister's hostile attitude, Mei Shuangshuang stopped probing further and went to sleep after removing her clothes.
