Chapter 1767: I Have a Mental Illness

Cough cough…
 Let me go, quickly… Let me go quickly!
Zhang Kaiyuan’s neck was suddenly grasped by Little Wang. He almost fainted on the spot because he couldn’t breathe.
Wang Lin, what are you doing? Do you want to suffocate me?


How dare you call Brother Yang a gigolo? Do you think I can keep you alive after you called him that? I’ll let you know who’s the gigolo today!
Actually, Wang Lin was very perturbed that Yang Ming would see him using the company’s car for his private matter of attending his girlfriend’s class reunion. Now that Zhang Kaiyuan had insulted Yang Ming and addressed him as a gigolo, Wang Lin suddenly burst in rage in order to compensate for his wrongdoings and show his loyalty.
He was a former security guard at the Song Jiang International Restaurant and had started from rock bottom. He was only accepted when applying for the job because of his strong body. Wang Lin lifted Zhang Kaiyuan like a little chick.
Zhang Wangyuan knew what Wang Lin’s previous job was, and did not dare to resist. He knew that if he resisted, he would be beaten up even worse.



Wang Lin, let me go first… You are going to suffocate me. Let me go first before speaking!
Zhang Kaiyuan begged.

There’s no problem with letting you go, but you have to clarify this first. Who’s the gigolo?
Wang Lin obviously was not prepared to let Zhang Kaiyuan off easily.

I… I am! I am the gigolo! Wang Lin, Brother Wang, let me go first… Cough cough…
 so painful!
Zhang Kaiyuan’s face turned ghastly pale while being suffocated by Wang Lin, and his tone got softer.

Hmph!

 Wang Lin snorted. He pulled his hands back forcefully and let Zhang Kaiyuan go. He tossed him aside.
Don’t think that you’re so capable just because you are a CEO. Widen your gaze. Next time, be more aware. This is Brother Yang, the boss of our Ming Yang Company

In all honesty, Zhang Kaiyuan’s identity was really nothing in Wang Lin’s eyes. He was inferior to Yang Ming. He was just a small trading company’s CEO.
Zhang Kaiyuan refused to admit his defeat, but he had no choice. He never expected Yang Ming to truly be the previous chairperson of Ming Yang Entertainment. He had even given the chairperson position to Jing Xiaolu!
How could such a thing happen?
 He actually wanted Wang Lin to expose Yang Ming, but he got beaten up instead. He practically dug his own grave. He was too unfortunate.

Yes… I got it…
Zhang Kaiyuan gritted his teeth, and told Yang Ming,
Brother Yang, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you before this. Please don’t mind me… I didn’t do it intentionally…

Facing the fierce Wang Lin, Zhang Kaiyuan couldn’t help but lower his head. Of course, he did not know that if Yang Ming were angry, he would be even more wicked compared to Wang Lin. It was just that Yang Ming treated him as a joke, and did not want to argue with him.

I don’t mind,
said Yang Ming with a serious face, shaking his head.



Oh?

 Zhang Kaiyuan was stunned by Yang Ming’s benevolence. He thought, Did I hear wrongly because my ears have some problem? I shamed him so much before this, and yet he’s so benevolent? His underling Wang Lin is here, and now I don’t dare to refute at all. How is this possible?

Even Wang Lin was surprised and looked at his boss. Isn’t this a bit too benevolent? He let Zhang Kaiyuan go just like that?
 Wang Lin himself was not willing to let Zhang Kaiyuan go, but since Yang Ming had spoken up, he had no choice.

I never like to argue with those who are mentally ill,
Yang Ming added this sentence at an appropriate time.
Besides, you seem like you have a mental illness.


You…
Zhang Kaiyuan was filled with rage when he heard Yang Ming’s words. He wanted to swear, but when he saw Wang Lin’s fierce gaze from the corner of his eyes, he immediately held it back and forcefully laughed twice, 
Hehe, keke…



Xiaolu, this classmate of yours really has some sort of sickness. When I said that he has a mental illness, he still laughed. His brain must have some problems.
Yang Ming shrugged and looked at Zhang Kaiyuan in pity.
When Zhang Kaiyuan heard Yang Ming’s words, his eyes rolled in rage and almost burst out. He thought, Can I not laugh? Do I dare not laugh? If I don’t laugh, I will be beaten up!


Pfft… Haha!

 Before Jing Xiaolu could even laugh, Little Wang already laughed uncontrollably. He realized Yang Ming really is his boss! Even when discriminating against others, he’s so classy! He thought, I knew that it was impossible for my boss to let Zhang Kaiyuan go so easily. It seems like I was too anxious. My boss already had a plan to begin with.


Yes… I have a mental illness!
Zhang Kaiyuan lowered his head and said grudgingly.

Just say it earlier if you have a mental illness! If you admitted it earlier, then you wouldn’t have to suffer!
Yang Ming nodded his head in understanding.
Since you admitted it yourself, then we’ll leave first. It is a waste of time to continue talking to a mentally ill person here.


Ah
, indeed.
Jing Xiaolu also nodded.
Zhang Kaiyuan, if you have a mental illness, please go visit the doctor. Why are you still planning a student reunion? Are you joking?



Zhang Kaiyuan’s body was trembling with rage. He decided on an evil plan, and a hint of hatred flashed across his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said,
Indeed… I have a mental illness, and I’m going to the doctor very soon…

Zhang Kaiyuan had already made an evil decision. He wanted to let Yang Ming, Jing Xiaolu, and Wang Lin regret their whole lives.

He,
 Brother Yang, look at this idiot. He even admitted to himself that he has a mental illness.
Wang Lin laughed loudly when he heard Zhang Kaiyuan admitting it.

En…

 Yang Ming nodded his head calmly and looked at Zhang Kaiyuan with a strange gaze. A hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.
Yang Ming’s sensitive awareness as an assassin made him suddenly feel a chill and killing intent. Although it was faint and vanished in just a blink of an eye, Yang Ming still noticed it.
Between him, Jing Xiaolu, Wang Lin, and Zhang Kaiyuan, he only trusted Wang Lin and Jing Xiaolu. The only one that could possibly harbor killing intent towards him was Zhang Kaiyuan.
Although Yang Ming did not say anything, he secretly put his guard up against Zhang Kaiyuan. It seems like one can’t be too kind! I didn’t even do anything to Zhang Kaiyuan, and yet he already hates me. He’s probably finding a chance to take revenge against me, right?

Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu walked together to the resort’s hall with Wang Lin, while Zhang Kaiyuan stayed outside to welcome other students. When Wang Lin followed Zhang Kaiyuan outside, many people couldn’t restrain themselves and walked to the door to find out what had happened.
Although Wang Lin had followed Zhang Kaiyuan out, Sun Xiaoran was worried about why Zhang Kaiyuan had looked for him. Because of this, Sun Xiaoran was not in the mood to talk with others and walked towards the door.
With Sun Xiaoran taking the initiative, others did not care so much anymore and went forward as well.


Bi Hai and Ge Xinyao were confused when they saw Zhang Kaiyuan returning to summon Wang Lin. Although they could not hear what Zhang Kaiyuan was talking about with Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu, they were constantly watching them. Why did Zhang Kaiyuan call Wang Lin out?

Wang Lin had not been Yang Ming’s driver for a long time, so Bi Hai had never faced him before. He just felt that Wang Lin was a little familiar, and did not think too much about it. Most of his focus was on Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu.
The classmates didn’t understand what Zhang Kaiyuan, Yang Ming, and Jing Xiaolu were talking about. However, they clearly heard what Zhang Kaiyuan said to Wang Lin after they exited. When they remembered Zhang Kaiyuan’s flustered expression, they understood what had happened. They also understood the reason why Zhang Kaiyuan had called Wang Lin out.
Zhang Kaiyuan saw that Jing Xiaolu had brought a guy to attend the class reunion, and judged that guy as a gigolo in a rage. However, he did not expect him to be Ming Yang Entertainment’s chairperson. He even asked Wang Lin to confirm it and ended up shaming himself. He not only got shamed by others, but he was also beaten up by Wang Lin.
Many people had already known about Zhang Kaiyuan’s one-sided love for Jing Xiaolu. Some of them never understood why such a quality man like Zhang Kaiyuan would fall for such an abnormal woman.
They all felt that Jing Xiaolu was not appreciating Zhang Kaiyuan. Such a capable man, yet she did not accept him. What was she waiting for? Did she have any problems?
Chapter 1768: Blaming or Praising
From their perspective, Jing Xiaolu was just a gold digger and was just acting high and mighty. She would already be considered very lucky if she could find a man like Zhang Kaiyuan.
Of course, this was their opinion during last year’s class reunion. Their opinion this year was vastly different.
Humans were always like this. Their thoughts would always change according to their environment. They saw Jing Xiaolu in the driver seat just now, and saw how respectful Wang Lin, the new popular student in the class, was towards her and Yang Ming. When they heard that Yang Ming was the previous chairperson of Ming Yang Entertainment and Jing Xiaolu was the current one, their opinions changed immediately.


They now thought that Zhang Kaiyuan was pursuing someone far out of his reach. What identity did Jing Xiaolu have? She was the chairperson of Ming Yang Entertainment. What was Zhang Kaiyuan compared to her? He just had a small trading company. He was not so capable.
And yet, Zhang Kaiyuan did not know his limits and blabbered nonstop to them. He practically dug his own grave. When they saw Wang Lin grabbing Zhang Kaiyuan, they felt very satisfied. They felt that Zhang Kaiyuan was blind, and had to be taught a lesson to remind him of his position.
Those who negatively thought of and looked down on Jing Xiaolu last time suddenly changed their attitude. Many people were like this. When facing someone a little mightier than them, they would show their jealousy and envy.
However, when facing someone far more powerful than them, they would not be jealous anymore. Instead, they would have the type of respect for someone far out of their reach. Those that knew about Ming Yang Entertainment’s outline understood how large this company was, and how solid their social relations were.
Jing Xiaolu’s identity had already reached a point which they could never reach in their entire life. Because of this, they were no longer jealous or envious towards her.
When Bi Hai heard Zhang Kaiyuan calling Yang Ming a gigolo, he knew that it was over. This Zhang Kaiyuan was finished; he would definitely be finished! Bi Hai still remembered clearly about the time when Yang Ming sent Wu Xinkai to the hospital in a tragic condition. If Wu Xinkai had not offended Yang Ming, Bi Hai could not work under Yang Ming and flourish.
Now that Zhang Kaiyuan was insulting Yang Ming like this, how could Yang Ming let him be? Bi Hai was imagining the scene of the blooming peach blossom in his mind. However, he did not see Yang Ming take action because Wang Lin did first.
After Wang Lin took action, Yang Ming did not do anything to Zhang Kaiyuan. Bi Hai rubbed his eyes. Is Brother Yang’s temper better now? Did he let Zhang Kaiyuan go just like that?

No matter what, since Yang Ming was walking in his direction, Bi Hai fastened his steps towards Yang Ming and greeted him with a smiling face.
Brother Yang, Sister-in-law Xiaolu, are you both fine?


I’m fine.
Yang Ming shook his head while smiling.
I just met a mental person.

When Jing Xiaolu heard Bi Hai call her
Sister-in-law Xiaolu
, she immediately blushed. When they were on the road, Jing Xiaolu argued with Yang Ming because Bi Hai referred to Lin Zhiyun and her differently. Now that she heard the address she desired to hear from Bi Hai, she suddenly felt a little shy.

Ha,
 it’s just a lunatic. Brother Yang, don’t bother with him!
Bi Hai smiled,
Should I teach him a lesson?


No need.
Yang Ming shook his head.
When everyone saw how Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu parted the crowd in front of them they started to respect Jing Xiaolu even more. The two new students who had high positions were Jing Xiaolu’s underlings. How could they not respect Jing Xiaolu?
They had already accepted Jing Xiaolu’s current identity, and totally forgot about the previous Jing Xiaolu. Nobody could relate to the previous ordinary Jing Xiaolu with the current pure and elegant Jing Xiaolu. However, they were indeed the same person.
There was a saying,
You don’t ask a hero about his origins
. Now that Jing Xiaolu had become Ming Yang’s chairperson, most of them had forgotten about her past.
Those who had a good relationship with Jing Xiaolu in school and those who distanced themselves away from her during the past few years surrounded her. They started to ask her about her recent conditions.
Jing Xiaolu was also more experienced than before. She simply answered some questions calmly and then entered the resort’s lobby together with Yang Ming while everyone else was surrounding them.
While Zhang Kaiyuan was looking at Jing Xiaolu’s silhouette, he was planning something evil…
Before this, Ge Xinyao, Bihai, Sun Xiaoran, and Wang Lin had caught everybody’s attention. After Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu entered, the four of them started to follow the two of them around.
Sun Xiaoran was a little afraid when she knew that Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu were her boyfriend’s bosses at first. She started regretting a little to ask Wang Lin to drive to the class reunion using the company’s car. However, when she saw how Yang Ming did not mention this matter, Sun Xiaoran let out a sigh of relief. She decided to accompany Wang Lin and sit beside Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu. She started to express her goodwill to them.
In this class, Jing Xiaolu had the highest position and identity. Those who thought they were doing quite decently, started to butter up both Jing Xiaolu and Yang Ming.
Yang Ming did not really care about them anymore. He didn’t really pursue the initial satisfaction he got from being a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Hearing everyone’s cringe sweet-talk, Yang Ming just replied to them plainly. He also did not show much pleasure.
As for Jing Xiaolu, she was enjoying the feeling of this sudden comeback. Before this, the others looked down on her. Now, everybody sweet-talked her.
Yang Ming understood Jing Xiaolu’s current feelings well. At that time when he was very powerful, he also had such emotions when taking revenge against his uncle.
The classmates came to them continuously, and almost all of them were present. Zhang Kaiyuan entered the resort’s lobby again. Originally, the main character of this class reunion was Zhang Kaiyuan. Right now, his feelings were very complicated. When he saw how Jing Xiaolu had become the main character of the class reunion, Zhang Kaiyuan’s grudge deepened even more.
Jing Xiaolu, you’re looking down on me. Very good, hmph hmph! Very good! Since it’s like that, I’ll make you pay!

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Kaiyuan adjusted his mood. He then walked to the side of the crowd and said,
Almost everyone is here. Only Li Xiaohui, Zhou Jiaming, and Wang Siqi aren’t here yet. Let’s not wait for them any longer. I have already notified the receptionist to let them find us at the restaurant if they arrive.

Are we going to eat now?
A student heard Zhang Kaiyuan’s words, and responded,
We’re all hungry!


Everyone is hungry? That’s right. We’re going to eat at the restaurant now!
Zhang Kaiyuan smiled and said,
Everyone, pack your stuff and go to the receptionist to claim a room number. Those who brought their families can eat in a private room with their family. Those who didn’t bring their partners can get a room with your close friends. We follow the old rules. Everyone shall pay for their own room fees!


Brother Yang, sister-in-law Xiaolu, I’ll help you both claim a room number,
Little Wang and Bi Hai both said at the same time as soon as Zhang Kaiyuan finished speaking.
When Little Wang heard Bi Hai call Jing Xiaolu as sister-in-law Xiaolu, he thought that he should start calling her that too. Before this, he had always called Jing Xiaolu as President Jing. Now that he remembered that he was serving Yang Ming and addressed him Brother Yang, he felt that calling Jing Xiaolu as sister-in-law Xiaolu would obviously make them sound closer.
Little Wang was Yang Ming’s driver. It was reasonable for him to help Yang Ming claim a room key. However, Bi Hai was the manager of the property company, yet he was so caring.
However, when he remembered how Bi Hai and Yang Ming came here together, he knew that their relationship was quite close. Even Sun Xiaoran never expected her classmate Jing Xiaolu to be a chairperson. She had already known about the close relationship between Jing Xiaolu and Ge Xinyao. She was not surprised when she saw Bi Hai working so hard for them.

Let’s get it together,
said Yang Ming standing up from the sofa.
Jing Xiaolu was happy with Bi Hai and Little Wang’s behavior. She gave the two of them a praiseful glance. Bi Hai was aware of what it meant, but Little Wang did not really understand it. What does Jing Xiaolu mean by that? Is it blaming, or is it praising?
