Chapter 18: Premeditation Before the Graduation Ceremony

Brother Jun, why not just forget it? There are plenty of other women. Losing one Lin Wei, there's still Li Wei, Zhao Wei, Chu Wei. With your conditions, what kind of woman can't you find?

Yeah, that Lin Wei just likes to act aloof. Only you, Brother Jun, are broad-minded enough to tolerate her temper. If it were me, I'd drag her over and punish her on the spot. No matter how aloof a woman is, once in bed she'll be obedient.

Zhang Jun gave Zhao Shunfa and Tang Kun a contemptuous look, thinking how he'd ended up with these two useless lackeys.

What do you know? I don't want a woman; I want the Lin family's connections.

My old man said, if I can marry Lin Wei, he'll give me two hundred million. Tell me, what woman in the world is worth two hundred million?

Tang Kun, you fucking have your head full of lust; you'll die over a woman sooner or later. And summary execution? You actually thought of that? Half the officials in Dongjiangsheng's political and legal system have ties to the Lin family. If you want to die, go ahead, don't drag me down.

Tang Kun was so scared his legs went weak.

Brother Jun, I was wrong—just treat what I said as a fart! I didn't say anything!

Zhang Jun rolled his eyes at him. 'You think I'm stupid? Everyone at Xingcheng University knows you're my guy. If I sold you out, could I cut ties?'

Hearing that, Tang Kun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled: 'Brother Jun, this isn't the brothers' fault. If I'd known she had that background, I'd surely have worshipped her like the Guanyin Bodhisattva!'

Zhang Jun snorted coldly: 'Do you have your brain in your ass? Leaking this kind of info, am I not just asking for trouble? Don't I already have enough rivals?'

Tang Kun gave a foolish hehe laugh, but inside he cursed Zhang Jun's ancestors eighteen generations over. Damn it, if I'd known Lin Wei had that background, I wouldn't need to watch your face!

Who knows which bastard got lucky.

Tang Kun suddenly thought of someone.

Brother Jun, do you think Lin Wei's man might be Chen Yang? This kid's been missing for ages; maybe he's hiding at Lin Wei's place.

Zhang Jun's expression shifted slightly. When Lin Wei said she had a boyfriend, he had actually suspected Chen Yang. Tang Kun's reminder made him realize Chen Yang had truly vanished from public view for a long time.

The forum login time was still from when he last clarified his relationship with Lin Wei.

Tang Kun, after winning second prize in the football lottery, treated everyone, inviting instructors and a bunch of classmates—only Chen Yang and Lin Wei didn't show up.

Tang Kun, give Chen Yang a call and ask what he's up to.

Well… the last time I talked to him like that, would he even answer my call?

Go ahead and give it a try!

Tang Kun, helpless, took out his phone and dialed Chen Yang's number—just a busy tone.

He wouldn't have blocked me, would he?

Zhang Jun then looked at Zhao Shunfa, who also hurriedly dialed Chen Yang's number—same result.

Zhang Jun grew a bit uneasy, took out his own phone, hesitated a moment, and still placed the call.

Still a busy tone!

Fuck, sure enough it's that damn guy.

Zhang Jun angrily threw his phone to the ground, stomped on it twice, even shattering the circuit board—as if the phone were Chen Yang himself.

Brother Jun, tomorrow is graduation day; he'll definitely come. Should we get a few guys to block him at the school gate? Zhao Shunfa, as Zhang Jun's top enforcer, knew Zhang Jun's mind. He knew only beating Chen Yang up would calm Zhang Jun.

Is it reliable?

Rest easy; once it's done, I'll have them leave Dongjiangsheng overnight.

Fine, I'll give you 500,000 to have them cripple Chen Yang's leg.

Also, don't touch Lin Wei!

……

Staff dormitory of the Affiliated Middle School of Xingcheng Normal University.

Chen Yang lay in bed, at times wondering what Lin Wei was up to at school, at times worrying whether Liu Qingqing might do something drastic; after tossing and turning for half a day he still couldn't sleep. Just as he thought of going out for some fresh air, a knocking came from outside.

He opened the door to find Lin Wei standing there.

How do you know my address?

Qingqing is a member of the new student council; the council has her contact address. You live right across from her—how hard could it be to find someone?

Chen Yang feared Liu Qingqing would hear Lin Wei's voice, so he hastily pulled her inside.

Lin Wei glanced at Chen Yang's living room; it was neat and tidy, just the furniture was a bit shabby.

It's so hot in Xingcheng; you're practically a multimillionaire now—why won't you even install an air conditioner?

I'll buy it tomorrow. Chen Yang had been busy outdoors all this time, leaving early and returning late, with no time to make improvements to the rental. Since Lin Wei brought it up, he could only give a perfunctory reply.

And Qingqing? Her car's parked downstairs—why don't I see her? Lin Wei asked as she walked into Chen Yang's bedroom, looking left and right, finally breaking into a satisfied smile.

Chen Yang was annoyed by her behavior. He'd already drawn a clear line with Liu Qingqing, yet this woman still wasn't reassured and wanted to come straight to his door to catch them in the act.

Lin Wei, if you have something to say, say it; if not, go back and don't disturb my sleep.

Oh, you're mad? Lin Wei slowly walked up to Chen Yang, sat ambiguously on him with a flirtatious air, exhaling like orchids. Dear, I'm doing this for your own good. If my dad finds out you just got married and took a mistress… he'll break your leg!

Chen Yang actually hated being threatened, but given his understanding of Lin Guojiang, Lin Wei really wasn't just bluffing.

With so many good guys at Xingcheng University, why did you pick me?

You're from Qingshui City, close to your parents' home.

Zhang Jun is also from Qingshui City, he was your high school classmate, and his family is filthy rich!

Hehe, I like handsome guys.

Then you should go for Li Ming—he's even more handsome!

Li Ming is handsomer than you, but I don't want to spend my life with an old man!

……

Chen Yang had nothing to say. Still, he felt pretty good inside. Given Lin Wei's attitude, he decided not to be jealous of Li Ming.

But Lin Wei's next words gave him a headache.

Go call Qingqing over; I want to talk to her.

She's definitely in a bad mood right now—don't pour oil on the fire!

If you won't go, then I will!

Chen Yang ignored Lin Wei, never expecting Lin Wei to simply open the door and walk out.

When Chen Yang rushed out, she was already knocking on Liu Qingqing's door.

What was more surprising was that Liu Qingqing actually opened the door. Her eyes were red and swollen; she gave Lin Wei a resentful look, then lunged at her wildly.

"Senior sister, you liar, I'll fight you to the end!"

Chen Yang hurried forward to try to pull them apart, but unexpectedly Lin Wei grabbed both of them with her hands and easily pressed Liu Qingqing against the wall.

"Qingqing, we're both cultured people; we should talk things out nicely and win people over with virtue."

"Hmph, you don't keep your word; you said you'd return my senior to me."

"Qingqing, this isn't my fault. I wanted to go with Chen Yang to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but my dad wouldn't allow it! He said getting married then divorced right away would bring shame the Lin family couldn't bear, and he even threatened to break Chen Yang's legs. What could I do..."

"Ah... is this really true?"

Chen Yang looked at Liu Qingqing's clueless expression and felt a pang of pity. This girl is far too easy to deceive!
