Chapter 62: Both Weird People
Li Jingjing who sat in Yang Chen’s car felt that this was the happiest day of her life, it was even more exciting than the day she graduated from university.
There was a constant sweet smile on the girl’s face; this made Yang Chen, who was driving, speechless.
“Are you that happy?” Yang Chen couldn’t resist asking.
Li Jingjing nodded seriously, “But I think Department Head Jiang isn’t very happy.”
Yang Chen glanced at Li Jingjing ponderingly, and couldn’t resist smiling as he said, “So it turns out that you knew everything, yet you still pretended to be ignorant.”
“Hehe.” Li Jingjing pursed her lips and laughed then said, “Actually I didn’t know everything, but by carefully thinking through I was able to understand some of the things big brother Yang did.”
“Listen here, if Jiang Shuo bullies you in the future or makes things difficult for you, let me know. I’ll help you take care of it, just like the Chen family’s father and son previously.” Said Yang Chen seriously.
“Yep, understood big brother Yang.”
From the beginning till the end, Li Jingjing didn’t ask about the matter regarding the Chen family’s father and son, and her wits made Yang Chen surprised. Yang Chen also felt relieved, perhaps this girl knew a lot more than what he had originally thought, but most of the time she preferred to act as a silly girl-next-door, who was silently concerned about him.
When they arrived at Li Jingjing’s home, Old Li and his wife just returned from their walk, seeing Yang Chen and Li Jingjing get off the car, they revealed a look of astonishment.
“Good young chap! You’re rich!” Old Li saw the car Yang Chen drove, and couldn’t help but to be pleasantly surprised as he said, “I knew you weren’t simple little Yang, but I never expected things to change so fast. You changed your job, and your single-wheeled car has been changed to one with 4 wheels!
[TL: The single-wheel car refers to Yang Chen’s mutton skewer stand.]
Aunt Li instead had her eyes on the bags of clothes in Li Jingjing’s hands as she got out of the car, and agitatedly asked, “Jingjing, why did you buy so many clothes? Even the bags that are holding them look so nice, these clothes must be very expensive, right!?”
“Mom……” Li Jingjing shyly called out, and said, “It’s big brother Yang who bought these for me.”
The couple revealed strange expressions, but were happy. The way they looked at Yang Chen also turned increasingly affectionate.
Li Jingjing knew what was on her parents’ minds, but if she revealed that Yang Chen was married, then they definitely wouldn’t allow her to get in touch with Yang Chen in the future. So she could only endure her blushing face, and quickly picked up her bags of clothes and sped into the house. She even forgot to say goodbye to Yang Chen.
Old Li sincerely said, “Little Yang, it has been hard on Jingjing ever since she was a child, don’t disappoint her.”
Yang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, and also didn’t know what to say, so he could only nod in an honest manner. Explaining at a time like this would be redundant, and would only bring about more trouble.
