Chapter 110: Qingshui’s number one rich kid
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Tang Meng held a cigarette in his left hand and the steering wheel in his right. He was driving a Maserati for the first time in his life, speeding down the streets of Qingshui City!
At the same time, he was thinking hard about how to explain to Li Qingchuan how the entire incident had happened.
Tang Meng was put in a tough spot. On one hand, he had his childhood friend, idol, and Big Brother, while on the other hand was his new boss who he had decided to follow for life. Yet, the most intimidating one was the Little Demon Girl Xue Meining, who did not care one bit about Tang Meng!
He couldn’t afford to offend any of those people!
If these three people were to clash, that would be as if Mars and Venus clashed into Earth simultaneously!
Finally, Tang Meng decided to watch his mouth carefully before offending all three of them!
After traveling out of the city, Tang Meng had no qualms anymore. He accelerated the car to 150km/h and sped towards the airport.
Just as he was reaching the airport gate, Tang Meng spotted Li Qingchuan, who was keeping a lookout for him, from afar.
Undeniably, Li Qingchuan definitely was a good-looking man. He stood at a height of more than 1.8m with leather shoes, had a tall and straight figure, a pair of sharp and straight eyebrows, a straight nose and mouth with well defined facial features, and a thick back and slim waist. He wore a snow-white s.h.i.+rt with a clear blue tie and hung a branded suit on his right shoulder, emitting a lazy yet stunning elegance.
He had been only standing there for a while, but many women of all ages had already gathered in front of the airport gate, dilly-dallying, just to take another look at Li Qingchuan.
However, Li Qingchuan seemed used to such attention and was perfectly composed. He even glanced at these ladies flirtatiously upon noticing that they were looking at him.
“Who in the world is this, driving a Maserati to the airport?!” The Maserati caught the eyes of Li Qingchuan, but he did not notice that the driver was actually Tang Meng.
After a beautiful drift, Tang Meng stepped on the brakes and stopped the car right in front of Li Qingchuan. Li Qingchuan looked at him in astonishment while he winded down the car windows.
“Big Brother Chuan, get in!”
“My G.o.d! I was wondering who was so cool to drive a Maserati to the airport. It turns out that it’s you, you little rascal!” Li Qingchuan opened the car door, entered, and threw his suit at the backseat of the car.
“Hehe, my first experience driving a Maserati was really awesome!” Tang Meng started the engine of the Maserati once again and drove away.
“Where’d you get this?” Li Qingchuan asked casually, as he received a cigarette from Tang Meng and lightly tapped it on his palm twice.
“If I tell you it belongs to my future wife, would you believe me?” Tang Meng giggled complacently as he bragged to Li Qingchuan contentedly. It was almost as if he forgot Ling Yun had the most bragging rights in the entire Qingshui City!
“Cheh! With your capabilities? Getting a wife who owns a Maserati? I’m not looking down on you but you’re far from that!” Li Qing Chuan received a lighter from Tang Meng and lit up his cigarette as he snickered.
As expected from Qingshui City’s number rich kid. In spite of how anxious he had sounded over the phone, the natural elegant demeanor he displayed when he saw Tang Meng was still pretty attractive.
Tang Meng glanced at him momentarily. “It’s up to you whether you want to believe me, but this is a gift from my future brother-in-law to my future wife. I’m just taking it for a ride now!”
“Stop the car, let’s change seats…” Li Qingchuan ignored Tang Meng’s bragging. He wanted to take over and drive after seeing how satisfied Tang Meng was from driving the car.
Tang Meng didn’t want to do it, but reluctantly stopped the car and swapped seats with Li Qingchuan.
Li Qingchuan happily grinned at Tang Meng. “Sit tight!”
*Vroom* The engine’s revs were resounding, Tang Meng looked at the Maserati’s speed meter. It reached a staggering 180km/h in just six seconds!
“Drive slower, Brother Chuan. If it breaks down, we won’t be able to afford to pay for it!” Tang Meng reminds Li Qingchuan.
“Bullsh*t. Have you seen me spoil any car before?” Li Qingchuan smiled confidently, enjoying the thrill of speeding. He even had the time to turn to Tang Meng and ask, “Tell me, who’s the person who actually has the nerve to show interest in your sister-in-law?”
This rich kid was even more valiant. When Tang Meng spoke about Ning Lingyu, he had to address her as ‘future’ wife. Li Qingchuan actually directly addressed Xue Meining as his wife.
Of course, he was only so c.o.c.ky behind Xue Meining’s back. If he saw her face to face, he’d probably cower in a brief moment.
Meanwhile, Tang Meng thought to himself. That the person you’re asking for is the owner of the car you’re driving!
However, he said, “Big Brother Chuan, it’s not that I can’t be bothered, but I really can’t interfere in this issue. Don’t make things hard for me, will you? Anyway, you’ll see Little Ning in a moment. Why don’t you clear things up with her?”
Li Qingchuan smelled a rat. He took a puff of the cigarette and asked perplexedly, “Even you can’t interfere? In the entire Qingshui City, could anyone be more despotic than us?”
Tang Meng smiled awkwardly, “Big Brother, no matter how powerful we are, I’m afraid when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps, it does not matter after all, does it?”
Yup, Tang Meng’s strategy currently was to drastically reduce Li Qingchuan’s ego. Otherwise, judging by Ling Yun’s temper, he would definitely give Li Qingchuan a beating first before clearing things up, and Li Qingchuan would then get his father to stand up for him with his political authorities. When it comes to that, Tang Meng would be truly helpless!
“Little rascal, you seem to have matured quite a bit, trying to teach me a lesson!” Li Qingchuan laughed casually, seeming to have seen through Tang Meng’s intention, but he did not question further.
“How’s Little Ning recently?” he changed the topic and asked about Xue Meining’s well-being.
Upon hearing Li Qingchuan’s question, Tang Meng’s eyes lit up all of a sudden and he asked, “Big Brother, don’t you have a congenital heart disease which even Doctor Xue can’t cure? I know this person whom I could perhaps bring you to…”
Li Qingchuan was born with congenital heart disease. His parents had brought him to well-known doctors all over the world but found no cure. At last, when Li Qingchuan was thirteen years old, Li Fengyi managed to bring his son to Doctor Xue to seek a cure after much effort.
That was when Li Qingchuan first met Xue Mei Ning, who was ten years old back then, and when he made a vow to make her his wife.
However, Doctor Xue’s miraculous hands were only able to keep Li Qingchuan alive, but he was not able to totally cure his congenital heart disease.
This became a huge burden to the Li Family. Because of this, Li Qingchuan lived a life of luxury and comfort as the Li Family treated and protected him like a gem.
The only grievances of his life came from Xue Meining.
“Enough of your bragging. Even Grandpa Xue couldn’t cure my disease, how could a random person you found possibly cure it? You’ll get it from me if you continue spouting nonsense!”
Li Qingchuan stared intensely at Tang Meng, clearly angry at him.
Tang Meng immediately shut up after Li Qingchuan stared at him. After all, he had only heard from Ling Yun himself about his capability to cure illnesses and he did not believe him totally.
Meanwhile, the Maserati exited the expressway, Li Qingchuan decelerated the speed of the car to 120km/h and continued driving towards the city.
“Little Ning is doing just fine, and as usual, she’s still the top few in cla.s.s in terms of studies, even though she never really cared much about her results…”
After some time, Tang Meng mentioned to Li Qingchuan gently.
“Mmm, what about the fella hara.s.sing Little Ning? Do you know him?” Li Qingchuan still asked the question he yearned to know most, after much talking.
“I do.”
“Which big shot’s son is he?”
“He’s not, he’s just a student from Qingshui school…” Tang Meng says.
“Just a student? And you’re so scared of him? F*ck!” Li Qingchuan scorned Tang Meng and couldn’t help but hurl vulgarities at him.
“Let’s go. We’ll go meet Little Ning first, then bring a few brothers along as I go find out who that c.o.c.ky b.a.s.t.a.r.d is!”
“Big Brother, should you send Little Ning a message first?”
“Message? I’ve been sending hundreds of messages and received no replies until I realized I couldn’t call her phone at all. She definitely changed her mobile number!”
Tang Meng trembled, thinking Little Ning definitely changed her mobile number, and it was probably the same batch as his!
He stopped talking, but he was already preserving his energy, getting ready for a physical fight.
…
As the Maserati entered Qingshui High once again, the bell, signifying the end of the third period, rang.
Of course, Ling Yun was worried about the luxurious car he just got. He rushed out of the cla.s.sroom, only to realize the Maserati was not there anymore. He was instantly enraged.
Without a doubt, Tang Meng definitely couldn’t control his urge to take such a good car for a ride!
“Great, I was concerned about the petrol fee. Now I can count on you!” Ling Yun said cunningly.
“Hey, look! The Maserati is back again!”
“Huh? Why is it parked here this time around?”
“Isn’t that Tang Meng? Why is he the one coming out of the Maserati?”
“Wow, look! That handsome lad looks so stunning! He’s even more good-looking than Xie Junyan!”
“Wow, he really is handsome! Let’s hurry up and go take a closer look…”
Tang Meng and Li Qingchuan parked the car right at Xue Meining’s cla.s.sroom block. As they got off the car, they instantly caught the attention of the Grade 10 and 11 female students. Li Qingchuan’s unique charm attracted everyone’s attention.
“Let’s go. Let’s go and find Little Ning!”
As Li Qingchuan got out of the car, after reminiscing momentarily about the school he left two years ago, he walked towards Xue Meining’s cla.s.sroom elegantly, with a charming grin on his face.
