Chapter 1669: Meet the Enemy
“Bodyguards…” Yang Ming scornfully looked at the so-called two bodyguards that Chen Xiaolong mentioned. Both of them seemed to be from a regular security company; they could only deal with ordinary people. Not to mention Yang Ming, they could not even deal with people who knew a little Sanda [1]. For example, the security guards inside the Song Jiang International Hotel had been trained rigorously by Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli. They were no less capable than some of the professional Sanda martial artists. It would be a breeze to fight against these two bodyguards.
This was also why they easily let these two bodyguards enter previously. They had absolute certainty to take down these two if an accident happened.
“How? Are you afraid?” Chen Xiaolong saw Yang Ming’s thoughtful expression and thought that Yang Ming was frightened by him. He couldn’t help but feel proud. He pointed at Yang Ming and said, “Let’s do this. If you apologize to me, and then disappear immediately from my vision, I will not blame you for the previous things. Otherwise, hmph hmph… ”
At this point, a hint of resentment and hatred flashed through Chen Xiaolong’s eyes! He had finally figured out why Yang Ming had always troubled him all day long for no reason! Why was he beaten to the point of being awfully bruised every time after he pursued or teased Chen Mengyan!
Initially, he just thought that Yang Ming considered him an easy bully target, so he deliberately troubled him. After all, there were often overbearing students who bullied the weak to show off their strength during school days. Therefore, Chen Xiaolong felt that he was unfortunately the weak tool that Yang Ming used to show his strength.
He had not thought much about it for so many years, but at this moment, Chen Xiaolong suddenly realized it! He finally understood why Yang Ming had beaten him up. It was because Yang Ming liked Chen Mengyan too!
Judging from Yang Ming’s current situation with Chen Mengyan, his guess should be extremely correct! He just didn’t know what tactics a gangster student like Yang Ming used to get Chen Mengyan. This made Chen Xiaolong feel very depressed!
In his opinion, Chen Mengyan was a sensible girl. It was impossible for her to admire some hooligan youth. That was something only a delinquent girl would do. Chen Mengyan should be considering the bigger picture.
Appearance and character were important, but what was the most indispensable thing in life? It was money. Chen Xiaolong did not believe that Chen Mengyan would not consider this. However, looking at the current situation, Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming were indeed in a relationship. Chen Xiaolong had to guess maliciously whether Yang Ming had used any despicable means!
For example, he used sweet words to trick Chen Mengyan into a hotel, then forcefully pushed her down. For a girl who valued reputation like Chen Mengyan, it would be difficult to choose to publicize this afterward. So she accepted Yang Ming instead!
That must be it! Thinking that Chen Mengyan had already been deflowered by Yang Ming, Chen Xiaolong’s resentment against Yang Ming deepened! In his eyes, Chen Mengyan was his goddess and no one was allowed to profane her except him.
Chen Mengyan was likely not a virgin anymore, which made Chen Xiaolong extremely displeased. However, since he liked Chen Mengyan deeply, he could only acknowledge this unwillingly. As long as Yang Ming vanished completely, he would not think about such things in the future.
Chen Xiaolong was simply gauging the heart of a gentleman using his own despicable standards. He had this kind of thought before. That time, he wanted to force a kiss on Chen Mengyan. Then, with Chen Mengyan’s personality, she would definitely not talk about it openly. She could only swallow the insult and humiliation silently. Perhaps Chen Mengyan would have had no choice but to follow him. Then, his goal would have been achieved.
He had that plan before, and so he thought that Yang Ming must have used similar methods. This was because he thought that Yang Ming was no better than him. Yang Ming might look more handsome and masculine than him, but Chen Xiaolong was of the opinion that a man’s appearance couldn’t provide an income! Everyone had grown up. How was it still the generation of loving whoever was handsome? Only money could solve everything.
Therefore, in comparison to Chen Xiaolong, Yang Ming who had no money and no IQ was just a boorish fellow. How could such a person be favored by Chen Mengyan?
The only possibility was that Yang Ming had used some despicable means to force Chen Mengyan to be with him. Chen Xiaolong was depressed thinking that his own method had been used by Yang Ming first. At the same time, he hated Yang Ming’s guts even more!
Especially when he thought his first plan’s failure where Li Dagang suddenly appeared and gave him a round of beating. Thinking back carefully now, it must have been Yang Ming who put these obstacles in the way, which led to all these events.
Who is Li Dagang? He is a follower of Yang Ming. It is impossible that Yang Ming was not involved in this! Yang Ming must have been inspired by that forceful kiss incident, and then come up with something like the “forceful kiss”, so that Chen Mengyan would be with him.
“Are you ill?” Yang Ming glanced up and down at Chen Xiaolong, “Uncle Chen is here today. I don’t want to make it difficult for him. So off you go. Don’t be crazy here.”
Damn! Chen Xiaolong was so annoyed by Yang Ming that he was fuming with rage. He said in his heart, If Chen Fei were not present, I would have asked the two bodyguards to grab and beat Yang Ming. Why would I let him leave happily?
Does this kid know how to read the situation? Does he think that it is like school days when he was the boss?
Yang Ming understood Chen Xiaolong and Chen Zhifu’s motive, but he had no intention to bother with them anymore. The current Yang Ming no longer had his original desire to excel over others.
In the past, he had asked Bi Hai to beat up Zou Ruoguang when he made a move on Chen Mengyan. Now, he just treated this Chen Xiaolong like a joke, and he didn’t really bother with him.
“Okay, Yang Ming, you better remember. There will be chances later. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. When you lose your face utterly, don’t regret it!” When Chen Xiaolong saw that his father, Chen Fei and the others had turned their heads to look at them, it was inappropriate for him to continue the dispute anymore. He turned and left after giving some brutal warning.
Although Chen Xiaolong was still somewhat an idiot, he also knew that it would not be good to find faults with Yang Ming now. Not only Chen Fei would be mad at him, but it would also humiliate his father and his uncle. So, he didn’t mind letting Yang Ming go for now. He would wait until the banquet to find a chance to humiliate and shame Yang Ming.
“Why, Xiaolong, do you know the little boy next to Chen Mengyan?” Although Chen Zhiye was chatting with Chen Fei and Chen Zhifu before, his gaze had always been fixed on his son. Although he did not hear clearly the conversation between his son and the young man beside Chen Mengyan, he could also sense the fiery and tense atmosphere.
Moreover, it could be easily guessed that Chen Mengyan and the man next to her had a close relationship. He might be Chen Mengyan’s boyfriend!
Chen Zhiye was also very surprised by Chen Mengyan’s boyfriend. He originally thought that with his current identity and status, it would be Chen Fei’s honor to be in-laws with him. But now, Chen Mengyan actually had a boyfriend. This thing would be difficult to operate!
What was even more difficult was that Chen Mengyan’s boyfriend seemed to have been acknowledged by Chen Fei! Since it was like this, wouldn’t his son have no chance?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiye’s face became a little gloomy. Returning to Song Jiang this time, it was true to say that he wanted to show off back in his hometown. However, the more important thing was his son Chen Xiaolong’s matter!
His son had frequently changed his female companion over the years, and Chen Zhiye had also paid attention to it. But at first, he only thought that his son had gotten into the bad habit of playing with women like other wealthy children. Anyway, those women were not a good thing, but he didn’t care. He was thinking that when his son grew up and matured, he would introduce him to a long-term girlfriend.
After his son went to college, Chen Zhiye introduced several daughters of his business partners to his son. Their family background and looks were not bad. They were considered of equal and compatible status to him. However, when Chen Xiaolong heard that they were to be his formal girlfriend, he shook his head and refused. He even refused to see them. Even if he was forced to meet them, he just brushed them off, and there would be no news after that.
Chapter 1670: You Will Be in Trouble Later
Then only Chen Zhiye realized that his son had a problem! At first, he didn’t expect that his son had someone in mind. Instead, he thought that maybe his son had some psychological illness.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiye had become more and more worried. After hiring a few psychiatrists for Chen Xiaolong, Chen Xiaolong really couldn’t resist the annoyance, so he told him the truth!
Only then did Chen Zhiye know that his son liked his former high school classmate, Chen Mengyan. She was the daughter of Chen Fei who came from the same village. After such a long time, his son was still thinking about this girl. Chen Zhiye could only feel deeply helpless.
After all, his son’s obsessive nature was inherited from him. Didn’t he still remember his ex-wife after so many years? Although his ex-wife had betrayed him, Chen Zhiye knew that he would forgive her wrongdoing as long as she came back to him.
So the main purpose of returning this time was actually for the life event of his son. He never thought that his son and his dream lover would have a bad start as soon as they met.
Chen Zhiye intended to explore Yang Ming’s background first, then gauge whether his son was likely to win over her love. His thoughts were similar to those of Chen Zhifu. Since Yang Ming was the son-in-law of Chen Fei, his family must be extraordinary. Otherwise, Chen Fei would not easily give his daughter to him. But there were many types of extraordinary. Chen Zhiye mainly wanted to look into the gap between their family backgrounds. If their background was really equal, there was nothing that Chen Zhiye could do.
“I know him. Like Chen Mengyan, he is our high school classmate!” After Chen Xiaolong replied, he suddenly saw the hint in his father’s eyes and the word that he silently mouthed to him. That mouthed word was exactly the word “background”.
Chen Xiaolong immediately understood and said, “He is Yang Ming! Yang Dahai’s son!”
“Yang Dahai?” Chen Zhiye frowned after he heard this name. He had no impression of it. Could this person be a former famous person in Song Jiang City?
Seeing Chen Zhiye frowning, Chen Xiaolong knew that his father probably didn’t remember who this person was, so he quickly reminded, “Dad, you have forgotten. When you were in the Song Jiang Bus Factory, Yang Dahai was in your workshop. This man is Yang Dahai’s son!”
” Oh? That Yang Dahai?” Chen Zhiye looked at Yang Ming with an incredible look and mumbled, “Song Jiang Bus Factory? Did Yang Dahai become the factory manager?”
“Song Jiang Bus Factory collapsed long ago. It has gone bankrupt!” Chen Zhifu reminded Chen Zhiye, “I also remember this person, Yang Dahai. He is just a laid-off worker!”
Chen Zhifu and Chen Zhiye had both worked in the Song Jiang Bus Factory during their early years. Therefore, when Chen Zhifu heard Chen Xiaolong’s reminder, he immediately recalled who Yang Dahai was. But he also knew that Song Jiang Bus Factory went completely out of business half a year ago. It was said that some companies had acquired it, and many of the original workers in it were given a redundancy package.
” Oh, it turned out to be the son of a former co-worker.” After Chen Zhiye knew Yang Ming’s family history, his eyes which were looking at Yang Ming became extremely cold and sinister. He felt very strange in his heart. How could Chen Fei let his daughter find such a person as a boyfriend?
This is not just a bad family background; it’s extremely bad. How can you decide your daughter’s life-long affairs so casually?
“Uncle Chen Zhiye,” Yang Ming glanced at Chen Zhiye and called him uncle indifferently, but it was also entirely out of respect for Chen Fei. How could Yang Ming not know what Chen Zhiye was thinking about?
It was nothing more than being surprised and planning to undermine his relationship with Chen Mengyan after learning that his father was previously a worker at the Song Jiang Bus Factory.
However, the Yang Family had undergone tremendous changes inside out due to Yang Ming’s efforts. But when Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming had just gotten together, Yang Ming was just an ordinary teenager, and Yang Ming’s father was not the chairman yet.
Therefore, Yang Ming looked coldly at the malicious speculations of Chen Zhifu and Chen Zhiye, but said nothing.
“Since you are all classmates, you should get closer to each other!” Chen Zhiye glanced at Chen Xiaolong, implying him to grasp the opportunity. Currently, it was inconvenient for Chen Zhiye to say anything since Chen Fei was here. However, he would talk to Yang Ming personally once he got the chance. He did not believe that Yang Ming would not leave Chen Mengyan at a sufficient price.
“Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming, let’s go. Let’s go together,” Chen Xiaolong laughed and came over as if he had forgotten the previous enmity. But when he walked past Yang Ming, there was still a trace of evil.
Yang Ming ignored him and got into the elevator with everyone. Chen Xiaolong’s flickering gaze was fixed on Chen Mengyan’s body. No knew what evil ideas were running through his mind.
“Mengyan, how have you been all these years?” Chen Xiaolong glanced at Yang Ming and whispered to Chen Mengyan when he thought Yang Ming was not paying attention.
Yang Ming slightly sneered at the corner of his mouth when he heard Chen Xiaolong’s words. Although Yang Ming’s eyes were not looking at Chen Mengyan or Chen Xiaolong, Yang Ming’s special ability enabled him to easily monitor every move of Chen Xiaolong. Every word that Chen Xiaolong whispered was observed by Yang Ming’s eyes.
Yang Ming naturally knew the meaning behind Chen Xiaolong’s words. It was a test of how Chen Mengyan had been in these years, whether she was fine or not. Whenever Chen Mengyan had a little hesitation or bitterness, Chen Xiaolong could use the topic to talk about some wonderful life to seduce her.
“Very good!” Chen Mengyan replied to Chen Xiaolong directly without thinking. It made it hard for Chen Xiaolong to continue speaking.
“This way…” Chen Xiaolong forced himself to laugh twice and said, “How did you and Yang Ming get together? I remember the relationship between the two of you didn’t seem to be so good at the beginning?”
Chen Mengyan frowned and didn’t want to answer this question. But Chen Xiaolong moved his face to her front, much to her displeasure. It was as if he would not leave if she didn’t answer. Chen Mengyan only said, “We were admitted to the same university and got together naturally. ”
” Oh? Is that really the case?” Chen Xiaolong wasn’t convinced by Chen Mengyan’s words. In his opinion, it was impossible for Chen Mengyan to like Yang Ming. Yang Ming must have used some despicable means. Therefore, he asked unwillingly, “Chen Mengyan, are there any hidden things in this. I know that Yang Ming is not a good person. If you have any hidden difficulties, just tell me. My identity is not what it used to be. Even if Yang Ming is very capable, he can’t do anything to me. ”
Chen Mengyan frowned suddenly after listening to Chen Xiaolong’s words. She moved backward, feeling a little disgusted. She was unwilling to answer Chen Xiaolong’s question at all. She knew that if she spoke, Chen Xiaolong would probably latch onto something else. But if she didn’t speak, Chen Xiaolong would not give up easily. Chen Mengyan somehow regretted coming to this dinner.
When he noticed that Chen Mengyan was in a dilemma, Yang Ming turned his head and said coldly to Chen Xiaolong, “Chen Xiaolong, are you finished?”
“Ah…” Chen Xiaolong didn’t expect Yang Ming to speak suddenly. Although he was asking Chen Mengyan questions before this, he kept focusing on Yang Ming. He saw that Yang Ming wasn’t paying attention to him, so he dared to say these to Chen Mengyan.
“Chen Xiaolong, do you think that just because you have a good father, you are greater than before?” Yang Ming looked at Chen Xiaolong sarcastically. “Actually, to tell you the truth, whether it’s your uncle or your father, they’re nothing in my eyes. ”
Chen Xiaolong was seething with anger due to Yang Ming’s remark. He stared fiercely at Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, wait for me! You will be in trouble later.”
“Wait? Okay.” Yang Ming shrugged and said, “But Chen Xiaolong, don’t blame me for not reminding you. I was able to beat you up badly three years ago, and I can do it now too, even if you have those two so-called bodyguards around you.”
