Chapter 77 – Something happened to Chen Yong (1/2)

“Xiao Liu, don’t blame yourself too much! It’s a good thing for young people to hide their own talents, but not too much, doing so too much would be being fake!” Zhao Limin said to me.

“Wanbei understands!” I said respectfully. Looking at Grandpa Zhao’s expression, he seems rather pleased with me.

“How is it, Old Ye! Now you’re convinced from your heart right!” Zhao Limin said proudly.

“I am convinced from the heart, but Elder Zhao, we have been friends for so many years, even if we aren’t brothers, we’re close like brothers right?” Ye-bobo said.

“Yeah, back in the days when we were fighting Vietnam, the two of us came out form the same trench, I have always treated you as my real didi!” Zhao Limin exclaimed.

“Then say, isn’t my daughter your real niece?” Ye-bobo said, then a crafty smile appeared on his face.

“About this, I suppose she is!” Zhao Limin could faintly feel something amiss, but still answered.

“So, for my daughter who’s also your real niece, I’ve decided that, I will definitely fight over this son-in-law with you!” Ye-bobo said and slapped his thigh.

Suddenly, I saw a smile that would only appear when their ploy worked flash across Zhao Limin’s face, although it was jus for a split-second, I still saw it.

The fuck? These two old fellows couldn’t have worked together to trick me right? Why do I feel like I’ve been tricked?

That night, Ye-bobo said that he had something else to do, and left. I wanted to ask Zhao Limin several times what Ye-bobo actually does, but didn’t know how. On one hand it isn’t very polite, but most importantly this Ye-bobo actually wanted to marry his daughter to me, I didn’t want to have too much relationships with him.

That person called Yu-ma made delicious dishes, as expected of Grandpa Zhao’s personal assistant, I don’t know if it was because I was hungry, or because Yu-ma’s cooking was spectacular, the food was actually more delicious than good I’ve ate in five-star hotels in my previous life.

I finally felt the feeling of being an important guest, which Zhao Yanyan felt in my home at noon, at Grandpa Zhao’s home, the whole family kept on giving me good, after the dinner, my tummy was totally round, and I kept on burping.

After dinner, Grandpa Zhao wanted to find a car to send me back, but I rejected the offer. This was the night of a festival, even drivers had to rest, it was fine if I called a cab, it’s not like I didn’t have any money.

When the taxi passed by the market, I suddenly had an urge to go and see Chen Weier.

“Just stop at the market place in front,” I said to the taxi driver.

“Ah? Didn’t you want to go to Huaxing Compound?” The driver asked.

“Not now, I’ll get off here,” I said.

The driver didn’t say anything else and directly stopped the car in front of the market place. At this time, there wasn’t a fare meter for cabs yet, it was five kuai anywhere you went, the closer you went to happier the driver got.

I paid the fare, then hurriedly got off. I momentarily blanked without even walking a few steps, the scene in front of my eyes freaked me out. Chen Weier’s family’s “Chen’s Mala Tang” sign was broken on the floor, the pot for Mala Tang was also flipped over, the seasoning and coriander where everywhere. Chen Weier and her mother were hugging each other and crying.

I quickly went in front of them and asked anxiously, “ Weier, what happened here?”

Could it have been done by the delinquents on the street? That’s impossible, Guo Qing was the true head here, there were any rascals that dared to make a move on people protected by Guozi.

“My older brother was just arrested!” Chen Weier looked at me, and couldn’t hold in her sorrow and started crying.
