“Boss, sorry. I have failed your expectations…” said the thief carefully.
“Forget it.” The male voice on the phone said, “You are also indispensable for our organization’s achievements today. As long as this matter is successful, you will take most of the merit. In addition, didn’t you do well in Yunnan?!”
“Thank you, boss!” The thief spoke with joy after hearing it. “In Yunnan, the task was successfully completed because of boss’ personal guidance…”
“Well, you are my apprentice. I am strict with you for your sake.” The male voice said, “Come back now. We will discuss after that.”
“Yes, boss!” The thief relaxed his tense mood. It seemed that the boss did not really blame him, which made him feel very happy.
……
Yang Ming drove quietly. When he pa.s.sed through the corner of a dark alley, he subconsciously stepped on the brake. He inadvertently turned to look at the corner of the alley.
Then he looked back and looked at the people in the car. He stepped on the gas pedal again and drove the car away.
“Brother, when did you change your car? This car is a BMW. This X5 off-road car was introduced last year, right?” Yang Xiaobo liked cars very much. He would browse the autohome.com.cn site when he was free. He often bought magazines about cars in school.
“En, I just changed it. The Volkswagen Pentium belongs to my friend. I can’t always drive his car.” Yang Ming smiled, “Why? Are you interested in cars too?”
“Yeah!” Yang Xiaobo nodded and said, “I often buy the Autohome magazine. At that time, I felt that this car was so cool. I didn’t expect that I would sit in it one day!”
“When you graduate from high school, big brother will give you a car that you want.” Yang Ming smiled. Buying a car was nothing for Yang Ming.
“Ah! Is it true?” Yang Xiaobo exclaimed excitedly after hearing Yang Ming’s words.
“Of course, it is true. Has big brother lied to you before?” Yang Ming looked at Yang Xiaobo’s youthful and lively look. He could not help but think of himself in high school. “Mengyan, do you think that we looked like them during our time in high school?”
Yang Ming surged with emotions, but Chen Mengyan misunderstood. She thought Yang Ming was talking about the relations.h.i.+p between Yang Xiaobo and Shen Hua, so she blushed. “In high school, we were just cla.s.smates…”
“En?” Yang Ming was stunned, and he suddenly said happily, “Mengyan, I’m talking about the look… I didn’t mean anything else…”
“Ah…” Chen Mengyan’s face was red. She felt embarra.s.sed instantly. “I don’t mean anything else…”
Yang Xiaobo and Shen Hua who were in the back seat of the car felt really funny about their big brother and sister-in-law. However, they didn’t dare to laugh. They felt discomfort keeping themselves from laughing.
“How do we go?” Yang Ming wasn’t familiar with the route of the 87 bus. At the time, he only went there a few times during high school. He only took this route once when going to the bookstore with Chen Mengyan, so he didn’t remember it much.
“En… turn right at the intersection ahead!” Yang Xiaobo said as he looked at the route.
“Oh, you are quite familiar with this place. It seems that you go there quite often.” Yang Ming teased.
“I often take Shen Hua home…” Yang Xiaobo scratched his head and said with embarra.s.sment.
“Have you met her parents?” asked Yang Ming.
“Not yet… Today is the first time…” Yang Xiaobo whispered.
“En, later, you need to leave a good impression with Shen Hua’s parents!” Yang Ming reminded, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Don’t worry, brother. I know what to do.” Yang Xiaobo said confidently.
Yang Ming suddenly felt that he sounded like a busybody. Why am I like an old man who keeps nagging? He smiled and shook his head, then he started to drive according to the route indicated by Yang Xiaobo.
“It is up ahead!” Yang Xiaobo pointed to a neighborhood not far away.
“Here… are all villas, right?” Yang Ming was baffled looking at Shen Hua from the mirror. I didn’t expect the little girl’s family to be rich. Not sure what her family does?
It seems that Yang Xiaobo is good at picking girls. He actually gets a rich princess. Originally, Yang Ming wanted to ask Yang Xiaobo what Shen Hua’s family did, but he gave up on the idea later on.
At the age of Yang Xiaobo, he wouldn’t pay attention to his girlfriend’s family background. Just like when Yang Ming was in love with Chen Mengyan. Yang Ming only discovered that Uncle Chen was the father of Chen Mengyan after a long time.
“En, Shen Hua’s house is also a small single isolated villa.” Yang Xiaobo said. “I only send her close to her house. I dare not to go near. Shen Hua’s parents sometimes will stand in front of the villa to wait for Shen Hua to come back from school.”
“You have finally come to this step!” Yang Ming smiled.
According to Yang Xiaobo’s instructions, Yang Ming parked the car in front of a villa.
“Brother, it’s here.” As Yang Xiaobo said, he opened the door, “Thank you, big brother! You can go back with sister-in-law already.”
“Well, I will watch you go in. I will leave after you enter.” Yang Ming nodded.
After getting off, Shen Hua rang the doorbell of the villa. It didn’t take long for the villa’s door to open. Four people came out together from the courtyard gate.
“Is Little Hua back?” A middle-aged woman shouted as she walked.
“Mom, it is me.” Shen Hua replied.
“Little Hua, you are back.” Shen Hua mother nodded. “Is the friend you mentioned here already?”
“Yeah.” As Shen Hua said, she quickly hinted to Yang Xiaobo, and he promptly said, “Uncle, Aunty, greetings.”
When the gates of the villa courtyard opened, Shen Hua and Yang Xiaobo could clearly see the people in front of them. Two of them were Shen Hua’s parents, and they didn’t know the other two. A middle-aged man and a young man who was almost as old as Shen Hua stood next to each other.
“Little Hua, this is Uncle Liu.” Shen Hua’s father, Shen Zhiguo, introduced them to Shen Hua. “This is Uncle Liu’s son, Liu Cha. He came here before when he was a kid.”
Shen Hua naturally had no memory at all. She looked strangely at Uncle Liu and Liu Cha. She greeted them out of courtesy.
Shen Zhiguo was actually helpless about it. He actually opposed her daughter’s puppy love, but her daughter’s academic performance did not deteriorate after half a semester. Instead, her academic performance improved a lot; her boyfriend’s academic performance was quite well too.
Shen Zhiguo wasn’t a narrow-minded person. He also knew that his daughter was more rebellious at this age. If he interfered forcibly, she might cause some trouble, so he simply turned a blind eye to it.
However, a few days ago, Shen Zhiguo was in a dilemma! An old friend of his… Let’s say he was considered an old friend, after all, they hadn’t seen each other for many years. This old friend was Liu Chan who was standing beside him.
At that time, Shen Zhiguo was a business partner with Liu Chan at the beginning of his business. Their relations.h.i.+p was quite good. It so happened that the wives of the two men were pregnant at the same time, so they gave birth to a girl and a boy after one another. At a celebration party, Liu Chan proposed to become a family with Shen Zhiguo, and Shen Zhiguo felt that it wasn’t a bad idea, so he agreed to it.
After a few years, their paths separated. Shen Zhiguo started his own business; Liu Chan became a senior executive of another company. They didn’t keep in touch with each other. Later, Shen Zhiguo seized the opportunity to invest all his money, and he immediately earned a fortune. Then, his business in grain and cooking oil had grown larger. He acc.u.mulated three to four million yuan of property in a few years.
As for Liu Chan, he had terrible luck. His boss had committed a crime, so his boss asked him to be the scapegoat. His boss promised to take care of him after he got out of jail. Liu Chan took the accusation from his boss. Wasn’t it just three years? It would be over soon! However, he didn’t expect his boss to commit another crime and become his prison buddy! His boss’ sentence was even longer than his. It was for twenty years!
This time, Liu Chan was dumbfounded. The boss’ company was seized. He couldn’t do anything once he got out. However, after he was released from prison, Shen Zhiguo helped him due to their previous friends.h.i.+p. However, they never mentioned the marriage of their children.
Later, Liu Chan found a job at w.a.n.g’s Century Xiongfeng Group. At that time, w.a.n.g Xifan, the boss at the time, saw that Liu Chan could endure hards.h.i.+p and was loyal, and he went to prison before, so he kept Liu Chan because he could deal with some illegal matters.
However, he wasn’t a.s.signed with any heavy responsibility, because w.a.n.g Xifan also went into jail after a while. Liu Chan felt that he was really unlucky. His career just started to improve a little, then the boss went to prison for a crime.
However, the surprise was that after the reorganization of w.a.n.g’s Century Xiongfeng Group, Liu Chan was suddenly a.s.signed great responsibility by the new chairman, Guo Jianchao, so his position was promoted again!
Guo Jianchao’s matters involved the legal and illegal side. He was short of underlings like Liu Chan, who could settle the illegal matters, so Guo Jianchao appointed Liu Chan as his confidant. This was good for Liu Chan. Now he was considered a boss character in Song Jiang. His ident.i.ty wasn’t the same as before.
At first, Shen Zhiguo was happy for Liu Chan, but he did not expect Liu Chan to become more and more arrogant, and even looked down on others. Even Shen Zhiguo who helped him during his hards.h.i.+p had to labor to seek help from him.
However, a few days ago, uncertain of how Liu Chan’s son, Liu Cha, found out about the marriage agreement, he purposely went to Shen Hua’s school to see her appearance! After he took a look, the matter became problematic. Liu Cha told his father to reconsider the marriage.
When Liu Chan was in prison for several years, he felt that he didn’t take care of his son. Therefore, Liu Chan was attentive to his son’s request. He thought about it for a long time. Shen Zhiguo was doing quite well in Song Jiang. If they had a marriage, it wasn’t shameful at all. Therefore, he called Shen Zhiguo to talk about this matter.
When Shen Zhiguo listened to Liu Chan’s suggestion, he immediately did not know what to do. He knew his daughter’s personality well. Never mind that she had a boyfriend now. Even if she didn’t, she wouldn’t agree to have a relations.h.i.+p with a man that she didn’t know!
