Chapter 140: Which Brother Sister?
“Both of you stop it already!” Zhang Bing stopped at a traffic light. He turned around and looked sourly at Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan who were each showing a straight face.
“?” Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were shocked. Could it be that Zhang Bing’s spectacles had the periscope function that could bend light around? Were they discovered by just holding hands?
“Can you guys not behave like strangers? F***, I’m not an outsider!” Zhang Bing was uneasy. He felt like a third wheel. “If that doesn’t work then consider me as air!”
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were both relieved. They looked at each other eyes and smiled tacitly. Because they both knew what they were doing at the moment.
They pinched each other hands tacitly like they were encouraging each other to continue such ambiguity.
“Stop the nonsense… the light has changed already. Aren’t you afraid that the car behind might honk at you?” said Yang Ming as he pointed at the traffic light that had turned green.
As expected, the sound of honk “dididi” came from behind after Yang Ming spoke.
Zhang Bing was still a newbie, so he felt a little nervous. He mistook the brake for the accelerator, so the car engine died.
“F****! An automatic transmission car engine can die as well?” Zhang Bing cursed as he started the engine again. The honking behind them was very loud.
The more you honk, the slower I get. Zhang Bing started the car leisurely. The cab behind him couldn’t do anything, so it drove around to cut in front of Zhang Bing. But no one expected Zhang Bing’s car to make a “ceng” sound and surge forward. Then, “dong,” his car b.u.mped against the b.u.mper of the cab.
Those who have driven before would know that being cut off by a cab is an annoying incident. But looking from a different perspective, a cab makes full use of every minute for a living. The veteran driver usually understands this, but the newbie driver extremely detests it.
Zhang Bing was a person like this. He was p*ssed off. Would you die for waiting a bit longer? Now it’s great. He drove without a license and caused an accident as well. Besides, he might lose his first car!
Zhang Bing and the cab driver got out of their cars. They began to argue with each other.
“Brother Kun!” Yang Ming recognized the driver in front, and he knew what to do at that moment. For a situation like this, Zhang Bing basically had to take the responsibility, and the cab didn’t have any wrong. Yang Ming was worried that the cab driver would report to the police.
“Ai? Brother Yang Ming?” Sun Kun was shocked too. He never imagined Yang Ming would step out from the car behind!
“Brother Kun, I’m sorry. My friend is a newbie, and he just got his license from the driving school.” Yang Ming tapped on Zhang Bing’s shoulder and said.
“Hai! You both are friends!” Sun Kun nodded to Zhang Bing with a smile. “Then there is nothing to argue about! Newbie drivers are like this. I was once a newbie driver too.”
Zhang Bing realized that Yang Ming recognized the cab driver, so he was feeling sorry. Although he wasn’t giving in to the cab who cut him off, he knew that he was responsible for the incident based on what he learned about traffic law in driving school. So he scratched his head and said, “Brother Kun, my name is Zhang Bing, and I’m Big Ming’s brother. I’m really sorry. Why don’t we go and fix your car now?”
“There is nothing to fix. It’s just that the paint has been scratched off. My car is a Jetta. It’s not a Mercedes-Benz or BMW. Don’t worry about it.” Sun Kun waved his hand and said, “If there’s nothing else, then we should go. We are blocking the traffic here.”
“Hehe, alright then. Can I just give you money for the paint, then you can fix it when you have the time?” Zhang Bing said with a laugh.
“Don’t you mention it since you’re Yang Ming’s brother. Yang Ming and I get along with each other too, so we two are considered as friends already! So, how could I ask you for paint that costs thirty or fifty yuan? Isn’t this shaming me?” Sun Kun said, “That’s it. Let’s get together someday!”
Yang Ming knew that Sun Kun was a forthright person, so he pulled Zhang Bing and said, “Yeah, how could brothers argue for such a small amount of money?”
“Hehe, that’s right. Let’s have a drink someday. I’ll buy.” Zhang Bing gave off a smile.
“That’s a good idea!” Sun Kun noticed Zhang Bing was driving a luxury car, but he didn’t look down on a cab driver like him. So Sun Kun was happy. “Yang Ming, bring along your sister, and I shall bring along your sister-in-law too!”
Chen Mengyan didn’t know Yang Ming was a friend of Sun Kun. She was worried and got out of the car too. When she heard Sun Kun say “bring along your sister [1],” she was confused.
“Is this Brother Zhang Bing’s girlfriend? Not bad, this is as good as sister!” Sun Kun looked at Chen Mengyan and said to Zhang Bing.
“Ga?” Zhang Bing was shocked. Chen Mengyan was shocked. Yang Ming was even more shocked!
Yang Ming noticed Chen Mengyan frowned at him slightly. Yang Ming thought. I’m dead now! Troubles are indeed coming one after another. The problem with Lan Ling hasn’t even been settled yet, and now Sun Kun brought Zhao Ying into the mix!
“Yang Ming, what’s wrong with you guys?” Sun Kun noticed the three of them looking at each other without a word, and he felt rather strange. “They never meet sister before?”
“Ugh…” Zhang Bing was the first who reacted. He thought Sun Kun was talking about Lan Ling, so he gave a few coughs and said, “With regard to that… Brother Kun, let me introduce you. This is my sister-in-law, Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming’s girlfriend…”
“Ga?” This time it was Sun Kun who was shocked. What’s going on? Could it be that Yang Ming had changed girlfriends? Based on the current situation, it seemed like the present girlfriend didn’t know about the existence of the previous one.
Or does Brother Yang Ming have his feet on two boats [2]?
When he thought of such a possibility, Sun Kun had cold sweat on his back! My bad mouth, why do I have such a bad mouth? Why do I keeping finding trouble? I’m nearly a qian er deng [3]!
“Ha, I suddenly remembered something important I have to do. I have to go now… We’ll contact by phone!” Sun Tzu’s 36th technique – escape [4]! Sun Kun knew he had caused trouble, so he should leave as soon as possible.
After Sun Kun left, Zhang Bing showed a helpless face, and Yang Ming was feeling awkward. Chen Mengyan returned to the car with a gloomy face.
“Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. Yang Ming couldn’t help himself!” Zhang Bing noticed they didn’t talk, so he tried to persuade her with good intention.
But how was this persuading? This was making it even worse! Yang Ming wanted to lambaste him! What is “couldn’t help himself”? Isn’t this making things more complicated?
To prevent Zhang Bing from speaking more, Yang Ming spoke before him. “Mengyan, your thinking is wrong. The person that Sun Kun mentioned was Sister Ying…”
“Sister Ying?” Chen Mengyan was hoping Yang Ming could explain to her. Although her face was gloomy, and she pretended to be indifferent, her eyes were all open and focused on Yang Ming’s every reaction.
When Yang Ming spoke, Chen Mengyan subconsciously followed up with a sentence. But she realized this wasn’t appropriate. Why am I in a hurry? If I had already been taken advantage of at the start of the relations.h.i.+p, what should I do in the in the future?
“Yes, it’s Zhao Ying, the math teacher of our cla.s.s.” Yang Ming explained.
“F***, bro, aren’t you too strong already? You even got Zhao Ying? That’s what I was saying. Zhao Ying was treating you way better… Ugh?” Zhang Bing was focused on driving, so he spoke out his mind subconsciously. But after he blurted it out, he noticed something was wrong. Chen Mengyan was still sitting at the back!
Yang Ming was nearly crazy after he heard Zhang Bing! If you stay quiet, no one will say you are mute! Aren’t you purposely making a mess for me? Do you still think that I have nothing else bothering me?
I’m done for. It’s all messed up! Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan. Only then did he feel relieved. Chen Mengyan was doubting him, but she wasn’t p*ssed off. That meant Chen Mengyan didn’t believe Zhang Bing.
No wonder. The story about a student having an intimate relations.h.i.+p with a teacher is only common in web novels. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist in the real world, but it was rare! Besides, Chen Mengyan knew men’s words were always exaggerated. So, she was only doubting it and never thought it was real. She had some thoughts about it because Zhao Ying’s age was close to theirs, and she was pretty too. If not, Chen Mengyan wouldn’t even consider such a possibility.
“Mengyan, I recognized Zhao Ying as my sworn sister. You should have known that my improvement in the mathematics grade and her extra cla.s.ses for me are directly correlated.” Yang Ming thought for a while and said, “This is very simple. One night, Sister Ying was tutoring me, then we went for supper at a food stall. We met Brother Sun Kun when we hailed a cab, but he mistakenly thought that Zhao Ying and I were a couple.”
“Why are you explaining this to me?” When Chen Mengyan heard Yang Ming’s explanation, she calmed down immediately. After all, his explanation was reasonable.
“Hehe, looks like I worried too much. Then I won’t be explaining next time…” Yang Ming gave a hollow laugh. How could he not understand what Chen Mengyan was thinking?
“How dare you…” Chen Mengyan blurted out, but she blushed immediately. She changed her words again, “It doesn’t matter to me whether you are willing to speak or not.”
