V4C35 – Speak Less (2/2)

Therefore, in the car, Zheng Shaopeng used hundreds of methods he could to please Mother Yang. Mother Yang’s bad mood also improved because of his flowery words.

…………………………

“You saw that, right! I said that your mother won’t agree. Do you really think we will be able to make her lose heart with this ploy of ours?” In the taxi, I said with a sigh.

“She will lose heart!” Yang Mei said.

“I doubt that. Didn’t you see that? She already treats that Zheng Shaopeng as her son-in-law!” I said.

“That’s her business. If she likes Zheng Shaopeng, then she can give birth to another daughter and let her marry him!” Yang Mei said with anger.

“……” I shook my head, “You are just talking nonsense. Now I will have to think of ways to deal with him. It’s such a tiresome matter!”

“How would I have known my mother would be so serious this time. But it’s just a blind date. As long as I don’t agree, my mom will certainly not try to force me!” Yang Mei said as she shook her head.

“Maybe it’s because the people before him didn’t have the same background as this Zheng Shaopeng. So now, your mother wants to make sure she catches this golden tortoise as his family is quite rich!” I said with a laugh.

“You are still laughing. Do you want to lose to him? How are you going to deal with him, think of something!” Yang Mei shouted.

“I?” I stared at Yang Mei’s current appearance. I didn’t know if she was too worked up or what, but she really got into the role, treating me like her real boyfriend, “There’s nothing for me to lose!”

Yang Mei was stunned. Only then did she realize the way she was talking before was a bit improper, so she coughed twice and said, “What I mean is that you should treat me like your real girlfriend now! Only then will you be able to have any motivation! Don’t think that we are acting. You must thin that Zheng Shaopeng is really your enemy. Think about how you will deal with your enemy!”

“That’s a good idea! If you were really my girlfriend, that Zheng Shaopeng would be lying in a hospital already!” I said as I laughed.

“Can you be serious already! Why are you joking and laughing again?” Yang Mei glared at me.

When was I joking? I was serious! My temper had become milder over the last two years. It was no longer the same hot-bloodedness and excitement that I had when I had just been reborn. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be impossible for Zheng Shaopeng to get beaten savagely. Yu Gang son and father were a good example. {TL Note: Refer to the first volume. If I remember right, then Yu Gang was the dude who threw Liu Lei and Chen Wei’er down the mountain on a school trip.}

“Let’s try something different first. First, we need to understand why your mother likes that Zheng Shaopeng. It should be an easy matter!” I said.

“That’s a good idea! Now that it’s decided, I will look for my former classmates and ask them to inquire about this Zheng Shaopeng and his family!” Yang Mei said as she took out her telephone and dialed a number.

“Hello, Liu Ying? I am Yang Mei!……Yeah, I returned to D City today. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I will ask you out on a meal another day!…… It’s like this: I wanted to ask if you know a person named Zheng Shaopeng?…… Well, I will be waiting for your reply!”

“It’s such a big city. Will you even be able to inquire about a single person?” I looked at Yang Mei and asked.

“Others might not be able to, but this friend of mine can!” Yang Mei smiled mysteriously.

“How? Don’t tell me she’s a detective!” Although China didn’t have the private detective industry, there were many information consultation companies. They were also a kind of detective business as well, helping people handle some investigations, company disputes, inheritance disputes, or track people, so on and so forth.

“She’s naturally not a spy but does similar work. She is the family registration control officer in the local police department, so she can pull out information and addresses of all people living in the city. As long as Zheng Shaopeng is from our city, he will certainly have a record!” Yang Mei said happily, “Liu Ying was my classmate in Junior Middle School and she’s also my good sister. I can certainly depend on her for the matter!”
