So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 157: Cold Observer

“May I ask what is the esteemed career of Mr. Yang?” Guo Jianchao said as he raised his wine glass.

“Me?” Yang Ming smiled as he said, “Hehe, unemployed.”

Yang Ming had seen some online novels before. Many main characters in those novels would say that they are unemployed. This way, not only they would appear to be mysterious and unpredictable, but even when the lies were seen through by others, there wouldn’t be much awkwardness. Because I was really unemployed, I wasn’t lying to you!

“My cousin is just attending his university this year. Hehe, how would he be like you guys with such great careers?” Yang Li suddenly interrupted. When Yang Li saw how calm Yang Ming was, she felt irritation swelling within her. She wanted to invite him to cause some negative impact. How could she allow Yang Ming to trick everyone as Sun Jie’s boyfriend? Therefore Yang Li decided to spill the secret.

Yang Ming frowned, thinking, Weren’t you in too much of a rush? I still wanted to pretend and brag for a while. If this was the case, then I won’t even greet your grandfather!

Sun Jie also looked at Yang Li curiously. If you say things this way, wouldn’t you reveal everything?

However, Guo Jianchao’s face turned into joy, showing an expression of being enlightened.

“Ah? Hehe, I was saying it jokingly. I saw how Mr. Yang also has the surname of Yang, so I simply called him my cousin.” Yang Li pretended to have slipped her tongue and started defending herself. But in actual fact, she was making things worse.

“Hmph.” Yang Ming let out a cold hmph. Then he just casually opened the button on his shirt, showing his muscular chest and leaned backward openly. He lit a cigarette and put it into his mouth, looking completely like the mafia. “Alright, cousin, I know you don’t look up to people like us who mess around in the underworld, but Sun Jie and I are truly into one another. Since she didn’t say anything, you shouldn’t be too concerned about it.”

As he spoke, Yang Ming held the cigarette with one of his hands while he put his other hand on Sun Jie’s shoulder. Because he touched her thigh in the car before, Sun Jie wasn’t as resistant toward Yang Ming’s skin contact and they didn’t show any flaws. She merely smiled at the others charmingly, appearing happy with it.

Yang Li was stunned. Guo Jianchao was also stunned. President Hua and Vice President Liao were also stunned. They were people who had a higher rank in society. Since when would they meet such a rough gangster like Yang Ming? Seeing Yang Ming behave like a mafia boss, everyone felt a bit strange in their heart.

These people were men with culture, so they were quite disdainful toward Yang Ming’s status. However, since Sun Jie was present, they didn’t say anything bad either. But President Hua had a more scornful look.

What kind of person is a gangster? Do you think you would be a mafia boss if you look after a few punks? You are actually just the rubbish of the lowlifes in society!

Initially, Guo Jianchao thought that Yang Ming was just a boyfriend who got invited at the last minute. But looking at Yang Ming’s thuggish face and his strong muscular figure, he was obviously a gangster. Even if you were finding someone to pretend as a boyfriend, shouldn’t you have found someone with better quality? It could truly be that this Yang Ming is Sun Jie’s boyfriend!

Guo Jianchao’s heart was feeling hopeful at the start, but in that split moment, it was sent back to rock bottom. How would Yang Li know that her initial effort to ruin the situation would otherwise contribute to the deceit of the scenario?

In the beginning, Yang Ming was already a gangster, so when he spoke about things it appeared rather authentic. Even though Guo Jianchao didn’t say anything on the surface, he was pi**ed off in his heart. I am Xiongfeng Group’s vice president, and I am no match for a small gangster?

Looking at Yang Ming’s features, Guo Jianchao couldn’t take it anymore. If it weren’t for President Hua who kept signaling him with his eyes, Guo Jianchao would probably have started mocking Yang Ming.

Even though Vice President Liao was maintaining the harmony on the table, Guo Jianchao was obviously unhappy. Therefore, the feast didn’t reach its peak.

But Yang Ming didn’t care that much. He just ate whatever was available and swallowed everything into his stomach. Since they weren’t people from his community anyway, whatever others want to think about him is up to their own discretion.

“I will go to the washroom.” President Hua stood up and secretly gave an eye signal to Guo Jianchao.

Guo Jianchao understood it immediately, stood up and replied, “I wanted to go anyway. Let’s go together.”

There was a trace of a smile that appeared on Yang Ming’s mouth. The little gestures that they showed had already caused Yang Ming to be extra cautious. Therefore, Yang Ming would just throw a few glimpses into that one direction as if he weren’t looking at it.

In the washroom.

“That pi**ed me off! Brother Hua, do you think that gangster is really Sun Jie’s boyfriend?” Guo Jianchao clenched his teeth as he said.

“We can’t tell. It could be; it could not be. But the possibility of not seemed higher.” President Hua analyzed, “What kind of status is Sun Jie? How would she find a little gangster as her boyfriend? Moreover, that person is Yang Li’s younger cousin, who was younger than Sun Jie by three years. Do you think this is possible?”

“En, not bad. I also thought it wasn’t possible.” Listening to President Hua’s explanation, Guo Jianchao had a solid determination in his heart, “Oh yeah, the plan that we mentioned, are we still doing it?”

“Why, brother. Are you afraid?” President Hua smiled.

“Afraid? What would I be afraid of? That little gangster?” Guo Jianchao laughed.

“Of course not that little gangster. I am talking about Sun Jie’s family.” President Hua shook his head.

But this phrase was speaking out what was in Guo Jianchao’s heart, and he went quiet immediately. However, he quickly shifted and started saying fiercely, “What else could women be? As long as you satisfied her in bed, do you think she wouldn’t obey you?”

“Hehe, that’s right.” President Hua smirked, “Then I would like to congratulate you, brother, for you are going to be the son-in-law of the Sun family soon!”

“Hahaha! No worries Brother Hua. If I have such a day, I definitely wouldn’t forget the favor from President Hua.” Guo Jianchao wasn’t usually a mad person, but today’s things were his weakness. So he didn’t notice President Hua’s expression.

“Why are we still talking about these as brothers? I look up to you!” Even though President Hua was smiling, there was a chilly hidden agenda in his glare.

“That medicine… It can’t be traced right?” After laughing, Guo Jianchao still said worriedly.

“Of course not. It’s the latest technology from America. Even the FBI wouldn’t be able to figure it out!” President Hua assured.

“Oh! Let’s do this. I will go back first. You wait for a while before returning back to the room, or else it could raise their suspicion.” Guo Jianchao said happily.

Looking at Guo Jianchao’s disappearing figure, President Hua smiled as he said, “America’s technology? That was what I picked up from the sexual health store by the roadside with fifty yuan. How would the FBI not detect it! Let’s not talk about FBI, but any hospital would be able to figure it out. Little brat, in the future I will have you in my hands. Let’s see whether you dare to disobey me anymore!”

Inside the Lilac room.

“Yang Ming, what kind of attitude are you showing? Have you already forgotten all of the things I told you before?” Yang Li reminded softly.

“Do you mean the way I am behaving now wasn’t what you intended for me to do?” Yang Ming smirked.

“I will report to second uncle.” Yang Li threatened.

“Sure, then I will confess about how you forced me to pretend to be Sun Jie’s temporary boyfriend.” Yang Ming smiled.

“You!” Yang Li was thinking about saying something, then the room door opened. Guo Jianchao walked in with a smile.

Yang Li and Sun Jie were feeling confused. This brat went out with a sour face, but once he was back he appeared so happy. All that we could see was Guo Jianchao taking down a bottle of red wine from the wine rack behind him as he said, “Today’s atmosphere just doesn’t seem to be there. Sun Jie, how about you have some red wine?”

“Don’t drink if you don’t want to die.” Yang Ming plainly reminded Sun Jie with a sentence.

“Die? What do you mean?” Sun Jie was stunned.

Yang Ming frowned, Why does this lady have such a terrible comprehension skill? But Yang Ming couldn’t tell her all the scenes that he “saw” just now. Luckily, he was far more clever now. He said perfunctorily, “You drove here. Why are you drinking alcohol?”

Seeing how Yang Ming was frowning, Sun Jie’s desire to show-off started to come out, she said softly, “It’s nothing much. A cup of red wine shouldn’t be any problem.” The tone was a bit sarcastic. It also meant: Aren’t you the one who’s afraid to die instead?

Understanding how Sun Jie had mistreated his fine intention, Yang Ming got really angry. I was doing it for you. Whatever you want to drink, then drink it. Whatever happens later, don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

Guo Jianchao took out two goblets and passed one to Yang Li, and another one to Sun Jie. However, the bottom of Sun Jie’s cup was sprinkled with some transparent powder when the others weren’t paying attention. The lighting in the room was dark, so without detailed attention, no one could have seen it. Moreover, Guo Jianchao poured the wine into the goblet right away, therefore, Sun Jie didn’t even notice this detail in the whole scene.

But for Yang Ming, he was staring at this whole situation coldly, recalling the last sentence that President Hua said to himself.

A cup of red wine wouldn’t be anything much to Sun Jie. She originally had a large capacity. Which woman who is in the business world cannot drink?

When Guo Jianchao observed how Sun Jie had emptied the goblet and put it back on the table, he felt happy in his heart. “Let’s finish it here today. Later on, let’s go and sing together. President Hua had already booked a room for us. Once he’s here we could go – nuo – President Hua is here now!”
