110 Donst Worry, It Will Be Fine (1/2)
In certain circles, some harmless topics travelled fast. In the two hours Ye Shuang had spent drinking tea at the private club, the news that Brother Shuang originated from San Lin City had spread from a small group to half the clubhouse.
The few socialites who were chatting among themselves branched out to talk to others, and thus, the news spread from one to the next, and the insider information became a public post. Facing the situation where the handsome 'commercial star' was as popular as Luo Mingxin, Ye Shuang had to quietly retreat.
She was not going to find her potential client that day… unless she decided to pimp herself.
That kid is still not home‽ Ye Shuang was confused because she did not see Little Brother Ye when she returned home. Twenty years of sibling relationship could not rival a golden retriever that he had just met. Yes, the man knows a little about computer games, but do you need to be so unprincipled‽
Still not seeing the man after dinner made Ye Shuang call to give him a piece of her mind. With a roar, she demanded, ”You're still out there even after dinner time‽ Are you not planning to come back home tonight‽”
Based on the background sound, it appeared that they were inside a taxi. There was an occasional sound of wind brushing against the car window. ”Sis, I'm going to the night market with Tony, and we'll return together. Don't worry, Tony knows boxing, and I am a local, so it'll be fine.”
Considering he had to stay a year at San Lin City, Anthony went to apply for membership cards at places that he would visit, like the boxing center. Little Brother Ye acted as a helpful guide and personally saw how Anthony managed to knock the boxing coach of the gym out with just two punches. His level of admiration for the man had only increased to a whole new level.
”Come back home together‽” Ye Shuang gasped. ”What time do you two plan to come home? And he is staying at the hotel; you want him to drop you home and then go back to the hotel? For shame.”
”Tony said that the room next to ours has been bought by his friend, so he checked out from the hotel this afternoon. I've even bought him everyday necessities to help him settle in. Tonight, he'll move in next door to us,” Little Brother Ye exclaimed excitedly. ”Sis, let me tell you. This new computer that Tony has is amazing. Next time, I'll bring you next door to come see it…”
Looks like it is time to cut off this little brother. I've fed him for so many years, but it took him less than a few days to turn to the outsider.
After hanging up on his biological sister, Little Brother Ye sighed in relief before turning to Anthony next to him with a victorious 'V' and a wicked grin. Anthony could not help but laugh. He removed the headphone from his ears with one hand and patted Little Brother Ye's head like one would pat a kid's head. ”Boy, you shouldn't lie to your big sister.”
”But I didn't lie,” Little Brother Ye replied confidently.
”You said that we're going to the night market. If I'm not mistaken, we're actually going to the nightclub.”
”Night market, nightclub, po-tay-to, po-tah-to. So, I misspoke slightly. It's fine.” Little Brother Ye shrugged before rubbing his hands together wickedly. ”Actually, I've always wanted to go to one of these nightclubs, but my sister refused to let me go.”
The taxi driver glanced at them through the rear-view mirror and chuckled. ”It's normal for a man to visit the nightclub; there's nothing wrong about that. We just go there to look and nothing else. The womenfolk just like to make a big fuss out of nothing; my mother is the same.”
The driver did not look that old, and he resonated with Little Brother Ye's thoughts. Anthony did not comment further. Foreigners had always respected personal freedom. In their eyes, everyone was responsible for their own actions, and elders dictating their children's life. Furthermore, Anthony himself was an untamed horse. Even if someone jumped off a building before him, he would have been able to stand there with a smile to enjoy it. He was never going to butt into other people's business.
Thus, the two guys headed for the nightclub, the smaller one purely to see the world, while the bigger one had a motive that he did not reveal. In any case, he was not going there because he felt like it.
On the other hand, Ye Shuang did know how proficient Anthony was at fighting; it was stated on his file that he was the champion of amateur boxing. Since Anthony was Han Chu's friend, she believed that she would not suddenly receive a phone call saying that Little Brother Ye had been kidnapped. Then again, the son of the family not returning late at night, as a parent, one had to worry.
Basically, Ye Shuang stayed at home to watch the television and would call every hour to check up on Little Brother Ye. The few first calls, Little Brother Ye only answered them when he was hiding inside the bathroom, so he was not discovered. However, the latest call that was made around midnight finally let slip to Ye Shuang the noisiness of the nightclub.
Ye Shuang, who finally knew what Little Brother Ye was up to, was at the height of her fury. ”Ye Feng, you sure have guts!”
Little Brother Ye did not know whether to cry or laugh. He immediately tried to plead for forgiveness. ”Sis, I know I'm in the wrong, but Tony is drunk, and I cannot move him alone. Can you please come help us‽”
”Drunk‽” Ye Shuang gritted her teeth. ”Since he dared get drunk at a place like that, you leave him be. Just drop him by the roadside or something!”
