“Someone else gave me two bottles of white wine. Let me give it to you.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Open the door.”
” Oh , you have a kind heart!” Uncle Ma nodded with a smile and then opened the door.
Yang Ming walked into Uncle Ma’s concierge room with two bottles of wine and then put the wine on the table.
“What’s the matter? Do you need something from me?”Uncle Ma glanced at Yang Ming and then asked.
“Nothing. I just came to see you.” Yang Ming felt a chill deep down his heart, but his facial expression was very normal. Nothing seemed to be odd.
“Really? That can’t be, right? Are you so kind? Uncle Ma pressed his lips tightly.
” Oh , actually, there is something…” Yang Ming’s mind began to run fast now, and he had to find a reasonable excuse.
“You see, if you have anything, just say it. It can’t be a big deal for you to find me, a doorman’s old man.” Uncle Ma shook his head.” What else are you embarra.s.sed to say?”
“Here’s the thing. I’d like to inquire who used his original desk after Wu Chiren was gone.” Yang Ming had quick wits, and he came up with such a plausible reason.
” Oh , just that? Do you need to give me a gift? Uncle Ma was shocked. He did not expect Yang Ming to find him to inquire about such information.
“What’s with the need to give a gift or not? I don’t drink white wine. I just bring it along due to convenience!” Yang Ming laughed, “And the person I know at Red Flag Middle School is you!”
” En , I can help you with this, and I will accept the two bottles of liquor with a smile!” Uncle Ma found the matter Yang Ming inquired was a piece of cake and he accepted the liquor given with peace of mind.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Ma.” Yang Ming nodded with a smile. It was just a pretext he came up with spontaneously, and Yang Ming didn’t expect to actually find any clues.
It was impossible for that the subsequent teacher would keep Wu Chiren’s items, especially some of the students’ letters.
However, there is a saying which goes, fancy finding by sheer luck what one has searched for far and wide. Yang Ming didn’t expect the sentence he casually mentioned to actually lead to a discovery…
Of course, it would be in the later part of the story. Now, Yang Ming was sitting by Uncle Ma’s bedside, casually probing him.
“Uncle Ma, after all these years, why do you live in school? Don’t you have any family?” Yang Ming asked, pretending to be very casual.
“Loved ones …” Uncle Ma twitched his mouth twice and his eyes turned a little moist, but it was also only for a moment. He soon covered it up. ” Ai , they are all gone. I can’t find them…”
“Well, I’m sorry…” Yang Ming said while looking at Uncle Ma with guilt and sympathy.
“It’s okay. It’s been so long. It doesn’t matter.” Uncle Ma shook his head.
“Uncle Ma, your home is not in Song Jiang?” Yang Ming continued to ask.
” En , no. I came here later.” Uncle Ma said, “It’s been so many years…”
“It must have been tough…” Yang Ming sighed casually.
“Yes, my family should have been full of children and grandchildren… Ai…” Uncle Ma shook his head.
Yang Ming listened to Uncle Ma’s words and he felt a little odd deep down his heart. This Uncle Ma seems to be hiding something from me? But he didn’t hide it fully, just deliberately revealing some information.
Yang Ming couldn’t help but be vigilant. He shouldn’t have noticed any flaws, right? No, it shouldn’t be. I didn’t communicate with him much. I’m only adopting a student ident.i.ty to get in contact with him. Also, it happens for a reason.
Did I overthink it? That’s a possibility.
“Uncle Ma, don’t get too emotional either. Why don’t I come and see you when I’m free?” Yang Ming said tentatively.
“Did you come to see me? You’re here to ask for information, aren’t you? ” Uncle Ma said while glancing at Yang Ming.
” Ah ?” Yang Ming opened his mouth widely. Did Uncle Ma really notice something?
“Didn’t you come to inquire about who used Wu Chiren’s desk? Do you dare to say that’s not your primary purpose?” Uncle Ma took a little sip of wine and laughed.
” Hehe … You actually noticed it…” Yang Ming couldn’t help but put a smile on his face. He had a sigh of relief deep down in his heart. Fortunately, it’s not like my own imagination. I’m just overly sensitive.
But the shock from Uncle Ma made Yang Ming lose interest in asking further. After a few idle chatters, he got up and said goodbye to Uncle Ma.
Watching Yang Ming drive away, the originally drunk Ma Xiaoyao with his eyes barely able to open came to be wide awake. The dispirited old man became energized.
He took a stack of photos out of a small box in the drawer near the headboard and looked over them…
The characters in the photos were actually Yang Ming and Lan Ling holding hands together!
…
Yang Ming parked his car at the entrance of the Nightless Club. After the expansion and renovation, the Nightless Club was now Song Jiang’s leading large-scale entertainment dining place.
Luxury cars were everywhere in the parking lot, and Yang Ming’s Audi R wasn’t too conspicuous here.
Towards nine o’clock, Yang Ming received a text message from Sun Jie asking Yang Ming whether he had arrived. She had finished dinner.
Yang Ming replied in a message telling Sun Jie where he was.
Before long, Yang Ming saw Sun Jie accompanied by Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli walking toward the entrance. It seemed the three of them were in good mood. It was most probably pleasant chatter just now.
Suddenly, Yang Ming’s nerve jerked and became tense. He wanted to jump out of the car and rush to Sun Jie’s side. But the distance was too far and Yang Ming also knew that it was impossible. Yet, he still subconsciously jumped out of the car.
The reason was that Yang Ming saw a dark shadow rushed over to Sun Jie!
Fortunately, when Yang Ming could finally see clearly the object in the hand of the person who rushed over, he was secretly relieved. The man was holding a bouquet of roses!
“Sun Jie, I finally found you. This is for you.” The man handed over the flowers in his hand to Sun Jie. This man was Guo Dongchuan, the son of the underworld boss in Jidun City.
“Guo Dongchuan, how did you find this place? “Sun Jie frowned.
Today, Sun Jie was tired to death. This Guo Dongchuan came to Song Jiang in the morning. He constantly called to ask Sun Jie out. Sun Jie, of course, refused directly.
I wonder how did Guo Dongchuan find out and appeared at the Nightless Club directly!
In fact, the person to be blamed for this matter was still Yang Ming! How could Guo Dongchuan get to know where Sun Jie went? An underling who came with him to Song Jiang just happened to see Sun Jie’s Audi R in the parking lot of the Nightless Club and told Guo Dongchuan. Only then did he rush over.
“Sun Jie, I missed you, so I came to see you!” said Guo Dongchuan who thought he was very affectionate.
“…” Sun Jie frowned. “Guo Dongchuan, my words have been made very clear. I don’t like you, and you aren’t my cup of tea. There’s simply no possibility between us.”
“No. Feelings can be nurtured!” “Guo Dongchuan shook his head. “Give me a chance. I will prove myself!”
Guo Dongchuan, this person, didn’t seem like a rogue ruffian, but he gives people a refined feeling. If the person he doted on wasn’t Sun Jie, but rather the little girl from campus, perhaps she would have been captivated by Guo Dongchuan’s flirtatious words.
“Guo Dongchuan, it’s not a matter of opportunity. It’s just that I don’t have feelings for you at all.” Sun Jie said with great determination.
“But I…” Guo Dongchuan saw that Sun Jie wanted to go, so he hurriedly stretched out his arm and stopped her in front of him.
“This gentleman, please respect yourself. Miss Sun had made it clear enough. Please go back.” Hou Zhenhan frowned and spoke to Guo Dongchuan.
“Who are you? Is there a place for you to speak here? “Guo Dongchuan said so because he subconsciously took Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli as bodyguards sent by the Sun Family to protect Sun Jie! I’m speaking to Miss Sun. Does the bodyguard have the right to interject?
” Oh ?” Bao Sanli smiled abruptly. “If there’s no room for me to speak, is there a place for you to speak up? Considering that Miss Sun knows you, I will forget about it this time. F*ck off now!”
“Who are you talking to? Let me f*ck off? Do you know who I am?” Guo Dongchuan wasn’t such an arrogant person, but now he was in front of Sun Jie. Guo Dongchuan couldn’t endure being disrespected by a few minor bodyguards!
A burst of anger surged into his brain. He pointed at Bao Sanli and said, “The master of your family spoke politely to me and yet you are arrogant?”
“Master?” Bao Sanli was shocked. Is it Mr.Y? Now, he also dared not to retort. He just looked at Hou Zhenhan. But, Bao Sanli noticed Hou Zhenhan shake his head to show that he didn’t know this person. Bao Sanli was thoroughly angry…
