Chapter 282: The God of Retaliation Possesses
The solitary Wang Minlei usually wasn't the type to wear makeup.
But today, she still carefully dressed up before going out, putting on a light blue chiffon dress and a pair of simple high-heeled sandals, looking fresh, unworldly, and elegant.
Just as she was about to leave.
Elder sister Wang Minjuan repeatedly urged: "You're all grown up and still haven't dated; if you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed for you. I set up this meeting hoping you'll find someone you like. No matter their background, as long as they treat you well, even if they're a poor kid, it's fine—our family isn't short on money."
"I know, so long-winded."
So far, Wang Minlei still didn't know that her QQ friend nicknamed Fanren was actually Lin Dongfan of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
This also happened to be something that gave Wang Minjuan a headache.
Wang Minjuan could be certain of one thing:
When her younger sister finally meets Lin Dongfan in person, she will surely recognize him.
Because when Lin Dongfan went to the Green Bamboo Ridge Holiday Resort to make arrests, her younger sister watched the whole thing from the second floor and personally saw her and Xiao Yunce being taken away by Lin Dongfan.
To prevent her younger sister from turning against Lin Dongfan at the crucial moment,
Wang Minjuan again struck a wistful pose and deliberately reminded her: "In the adult world, there are no such things as enemies; we merely stand on different sides."
"Sis, why are you saying this?" Wang Minlei felt her elder sister was acting strangely today.
Wang Minjuan smiled and said: "I'm telling you this to let you know: as long as the person is someone you like, no matter who they are—even if they're my enemy—I'll support you being with them. Our parents passed away early, and I raised you myself. As long as you're happy, I, as your sister, will have no regrets."
"Sis, you're really good to me."
Wang Minlei excitedly hugged her elder sister.
She felt the elder sister was more warm-hearted than the second sister. Second sister Wang Minjun, after marrying into an official's family, had cut ties with the relatives. When the elder sister was arrested, the second sister turned a deaf ear.
But Wang Minlei didn't realize that the truly heartless person wasn't the second sister—it was the elder sister, Wang Minjuan.
The naive, unworldly Wang Minlei, who had never been battered by society nor known the dangers of the martial world, could never have imagined she had already become a weapon in her elder sister's hands.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Wang Minlei promptly entered the Luoming Tea Restaurant on Tingchao Road.
The tea restaurant had a nice ambiance, with a quiet, elegant setting full of Zen feeling. But today there wasn't a single customer, and a sign at the door read—"Temporarily Closed."
In fact, it wasn't closed; it had been rented out entirely by Lin Dongfan.
Yang Qing sat alone in the first-floor hall.
Lin Dongfan and Zhang Yong occupied booth No. 8 by the second-floor corridor, from where they could glance down and see the whole panorama of the first-floor tea restaurant.
"Fange, where did you find this beauty? She's so gorgeous."
When Zhang Yong saw Wang Minlei walk into the tea restaurant, his eyes widened—though many beautiful women exist in the world, few combine beauty with a fresh, unworldly aura.
Lin Dongfan was also stunned by this lovely sight.
I never expected that Xiao Ningzi, whom I've chatted with for years, would actually be a pretty girl; this should satisfy Yang Qing's matchmaking criteria, right?
Thinking of that, Lin Dongfan's lips curled into a faint smile.
He gave Zhang Yong a silent gesture, indicating that Zhang Yong had disturbed the downstairs matchmaking; as a brother, just widen your eyes to watch the show, don't interrupt.
"You are..."
Wang Minlei approached Yang Qing, looked him up and down, seeming startled by his unkempt appearance: "Fanren?"
"What are you saying? I'm not a mortal—am I a deity?"
Yang Qing still didn't realize he was standing in for Lin Dongfan, having forgotten that Lin Dongfan's online alias was Fanren, and he replied without any courtesy.
Wang Minlei gave an embarrassed smile: "You're a bit different from what I imagined."
Indeed, not the same.
In her impression, Brother Fanren was a graceful gentleman, yet the Yang Qing before her didn't even shave his beard and had a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Yang Qing, cigarette in mouth, said: "Looks are given by parents; it's inevitable to have a somewhat flawed beauty."
"You're right—I was superficial, almost falling into the trap of judging by appearance." In Wang Minlei's heart, Brother Fanren is perfect.
She simply took Yang Qing to be her Brother Fanren and quickly brushed aside his shortcomings.
She sat down opposite Yang Qing.
Like Zixia Fairy admiring the Monkey King, she gazed affectionately at Yang Qing: "You look a bit old; how old are you this year?"
"I have five million." Yang Qing, cigarette in mouth, exuded a nouveau riche aura.
Wang Minlei broke into a spring-breeze-like smile: "Why say that? I already said I don't care whether you have money—how old are you?"
"I really do have five million." Yang Qing said.
Wang Minlei immediately furrowed her brows: "I really don't care about money either."
"You don't care about money?" Yang Qing questioned.
Wang Minlei replied dismissively: "What's the point of so much money? Money can't easily buy my happiness."
"Sorry, then you're not my type—goodbye." Yang Qing got up and left, muttering: "Who doesn't like money? Damn, what a pretender..."
"Wait a moment!"
That final mutter made Wang Minlei's face flush slightly with anger.
Yang Qing turned back and replied: "Nothing to talk about—you don't like money, so I look down on you."
"It's fine if you look down on me—I won't quarrel with a blind person." At this moment Wang Minlei seemed possessed by Lin Daiyu, retorting without mercy.
She had already realized that this person before her was definitely not Brother Fanren, because Brother Fanren would never be so arrogant and rude, lacking even basic respect for women.
She confronted Yang Qing: "This seat was reserved by me and my friend; why did you just take someone else's spot? If you hadn't taken someone else's seat, today we wouldn't have these misunderstandings!"
"We're all here for matchmaking, with no misunderstandings." Yang Qing shook his head regretfully: "What's the use of being pretty? Just a nice skin with an abnormal brain."
"Compared to a pig's brain, mine really isn't normal." Wang Minlei said.
Yang Qing, brows furrowed from being retorted, said: "I'm a pig, then what are you? Do you really think you're Chang'e the immortal? Don't forget to take your medicine before going out next time."
"You take medicine every time you go out, yet you still haven't transformed into a human?" Wang Minlei remarked dismissively: "Next time don't take it—I suggest you lie on the ground and let a donkey kick you; you'll become a Buddha instantly."
"!!!"
I can't argue back, I absolutely can't argue back, I'm even more argumentative than Lin Daiyu.
Yang Qing looked up and shouted at the upstairs: "Pretentious asshole, what the hell is this you introduced to me! Just escaped from the mental hospital, right? You're totally messed up!"
Wang Minling looked up and took a glance.
When Wang Minling made eye contact with Lin Dongfan, Wang Minling was startled and lost color, instantly forgetting that there was still an argumentative Yang Qing standing nearby.
Wang Minling's entire mind had already been occupied by a huge exclamation mark.
How could it be him?
The Anti-Corruption Bureau's Lin Dongfan, could he be my mortal brother?
No!
How could it possibly be him?
My mortal brother, how could he possibly be my sister's enemy…
This utterly melodramatic plot drop from heaven made Wang Minling collapse; she gazed up at Lin Dongfan upstairs with tear-filled eyes: "Mortal brother, do you know who I am?"
