Chapter 12: I Absolutely Will Not Be the Other Woman

Liu Qingqing quickly slipped into the passenger seat, afraid that her classmates and friends would see she had found a boyfriend who drives a taxi.

"Why don't you drive my Porsche? I don't use it much anyway."

"This car is fine."

Chen Yang refused Liu Qingqing's kindness. Although she doesn't drive that car often, it's well known at Xingcheng University and has even appeared on the forum's hot section. He doesn't want to also become a hot topic by living off her.

Seeing Chen Yang refuse her goodwill, Liu Qingqing could only settle for second best, saying: "Then when you pick me up later, stay farther from the school so classmates don't see."

Chen Yang understood her meaning. Girls ultimately still have a bit of vanity. He only thought of his own convenience, thus overlooking her feelings.

However, the car has already been bought, and he has no intention of changing it. Seeing Liu Qingqing anxiously looking out the window, he joked: "You could easily get a car at the school gate, yet you insist on walking an extra stretch. If they saw you, they'd probably laugh."

"Is that so? What should we do then?" Liu Qingqing began to have a headache. Clearly she's riding in her boyfriend's car, yet it feels like taking a taxi; this feeling always seems weird.

Chen Yang was amused by her expression and continued teasing: "How about this: when you get out, you pay double the fare. That would be equivalent to riding in a high-end car."

Liu Qingqing gave him a glance and snorted: "Do you think I'm that stupid? Hurry up and drive!" While saying this, she kept her head down, looking out the window, afraid of running into acquaintances.

However, what you fear will happen. As Chen Yang was about to press the accelerator, the rear car door was opened and a familiar figure slipped in.

"Driver, go to No. 58 Construction Road."

Chen Yang instinctively looked back and happened to meet Lin Wei's gaze.

"Chen Yang, are you driving a taxi again?"

Lin Wei knew Chen Yang liked to take odd jobs everywhere, so she was only slightly surprised. What truly surprised her was Liu Qingqing in the passenger seat.

Chen Yang scratched his head with a slight headache. Although the three of them know each other, their current relationship is quite awkward. One is his legal wife, the other is a girlfriend he's just starting to develop an intimate relationship with—does this count as a shura field?

"Senior, this is Chen Yang's newly bought car; he's not driving a taxi!" Liu Qingqing lowered her voice to explain to Lin Wei. Because she feared running into acquaintances again, after speaking she urged Chen Yang to drive off quickly.

Chen Yang quickly drove the car away from Xingcheng University; he also didn't want to encounter more acquaintances now.

"Chen Yang, where did you get the money to buy the car?" Lin Wei was somewhat surprised; just a few days apart, how did Chen Yang suddenly have money!

Moreover, didn't he reject Liu Qingqing? How are they together again? Their relationship seems even closer than before...

Could the person he was thinking of that day be Liu Qingqing?

Is this car bought with money from Liu Qingqing?

The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt inside.

"Senior, we also bought a house today!" Liu Qingqing, feeling a bit proud, wanted to show off to Lin Wei. Although Chen Yang had clarified his relationship with Lin Wei on the forum, a woman's intuition told her. The other party is a major threat. She must first assert her sovereignty.

Lin Wei hadn't expected her guess to be correct; that inexplicable feeling in her heart grew stronger.

"It's all borrowed." Chen Yang hurriedly interjected to stop Liu Qingqing from speaking. If Lin Wei found out he had won twenty million in the lottery, she would surely try every means to persuade him to return to Clear Water for investment.

The current situation in Clear Water is that enterprises are barely surviving, and even basic workers' wages can't be paid. Private companies offer high pay but lack strong support. It's truly unsuitable for investment.

Given Chen Yang's current financial strength, returning to small-scale operations would be worse than staying in Xingcheng as a carefree landlord. If he expands, he'll have to face Zhang Jun and the powerful suppression from the Zhang family behind him, with dangers everywhere.

As a Reborn Person, he won't foolishly let himself fall into a dangerous environment again.

"As a college student driving a taxi here, don't you feel embarrassed?" Lin Wei looked at Chen Yang with an expression of exasperation, then kindly advised again: "Why not go back to Clear Water? I'll try to find you a bank job!"

"No profession is noble or base; as long as it's earned through sweat, I don't find it shameful." Chen Yang insisted on his stance. In his previous life, he passed the interview stage at Clear Water Bank, but was ultimately notified of rejection.

With Zhang Jun around, even if Lin Wei could help him smoothly pass the interview, his later days would hardly be pleasant. Rather than daily living in an environment where others scheme against him, it's better to stay in Xingcheng and develop slowly.

Marrying Lin Wei would already halve the official resources of the Zhang family. Dating Liu Qingqing and connecting with Liu Shijie would further halve Zhang Jun's future career resources. In total, he is indirectly taking revenge.

Seeing that Lin Wei couldn't persuade Chen Yang, she could only give up. However, after arriving at the destination, she still didn't forget to remind Chen Yang to keep their relationship secret.

While speaking, she even gave Liu Qingqing a meaningful look.

This gave Chen Yang a terrible headache, even making him regret going with her to obtain that damn certificate.

"Senior, what is your relationship?" Liu Qingqing's curiosity was instantly sparked by Lin Wei's words; she even recalled the explosive controversy that had occurred on the school forum not long ago. "Could what Tang Kun said on the forum really be true?"

Chen Yang had no choice but to reveal that his marriage to Lin Wei was fake. Since Lin Wei was in the wrong first, he had no reason to keep the secret any longer.

After hearing that, Liu Qingqing suddenly felt her chest tighten, and tears streamed down her eyes. Earlier that morning she had been accusing Zhao Xiaoli of being the other woman; she never expected to become the other woman herself in the blink of an eye.

"Qingqing, we just got the certificate; we haven't done anything else." Chen Yang swore to her.

"But you're already legally married!" Liu Qingqing was very displeased; her intuition was indeed correct—Lin Wei is a dangerous woman.

Chen Yang said helplessly: "When I got the certificate with her, we weren't together yet!"

"That's also not acceptable; I absolutely will not be the other woman." Liu Qingqing said firmly: "You must immediately divorce her." After saying that, she quickly got out of the car and hailed a Jetta to leave.

Chen Yang angrily dialed Lin Wei's phone and started scolding: "Lin Wei, you're going too far. I helped you out of goodwill, not expecting anything in return. But don't screw me over!"

Lin Wei deliberately pretended to be clueless: "How have I screwed you over? I didn't say anything! Did you say something?"

"You're ruthless; I'm done. I'll go get a divorce tomorrow!"

"Heh, that's not up to you."

Chen Yang gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could drag her back right now and give her a hard spanking.

Forget it; who let her have a father who is a Public Security Bureau chief and an older brother who is a detective.

Chen Yang gloomily drove the car back to the staff dormitory of the Teacher's University Affiliated Middle School. He knocked on Liu Qingqing's door, but there was no response. He called, no answer. He messaged, no reply. He pressed his ear to the door to listen for any movement inside, but heard nothing. In the end, he could only return home helplessly.

That night, Chen Yang boredly copied Old Man Zhang's cooking notes until dawn.
