In fact, Liu Jihao did not think anything was wrong. The casino here was opened by Huang Lele’s family, and Wang Mei and Huang Lele were good friends, so it was not strange for Wang Mei to come out from here.
Although the driver was an unfamiliar man, there was nothing to doubt about this. Liu Jihao took out his mobile phone and called Wang Mei.
Wang Mei looked at the caller ID on the phone and was stunned. She looked at Zhang Bing in some panic.
What’s wrong? Why don’t you answer the phone?
Zhang Bing felt it was odd when he saw Wang Mei hold the phone and did not pick up.
My boyfriend…
Wang Mei whispered.
Zhang Bing looked at the phone in Wang Mei’s hand and said,
Would you want me to pick it up?
You pick up for what?
Wang Mei was shocked and instructed immediately,
Don’t say anything. I’ll pick it up.
Mei Mei, where are you?
Liu Jihao called for a long time, but no one answered. He was about to hang up the phone, but it connected.
I… I am with Lele.
Wang Mei looked at Zhang Bing and said.
Oh
, only the two of you?
Liu Jihao questioned.
Yeah, I am at Lele’s home.
How can Wang Mei say that there was someone else?
Really?
Liu Jihao was stunned. He hesitated and said,
Oh
, then so be it. I have to accompany my guests…
He hung up after the call.
Liu Jihao frowned. Did I see wrongly just now? But it is impossible. My eyes are not so bad. Others I can be mistaken about, but how can I mistakenly see my girlfriend?
She is actually in the car. Why would she say she is in Huang Lele’s home? Is there anything to lie about? Could it be… she wants to hide something?
Initially, Liu Jihao didn’t think so much, but now he began to be suspicious.
Well, he seems to be somewhat suspicious…
Wang Mei turned off the phone and said with some concern.
Did he see us?
Zhang Bing guessed and said.
Ah
!
Wang Mei was shocked, and she lost her voice.
It must be like this. This is bad. What should I do?
You shouldn’t have lied to him. What is wrong with saying you’re with your friends?
Yang Ming also heard the conversation between Wang Mei and Zhang Bing.
I am nervous subconsciously…
Wang Mei said with a bitter face,
But it is too late to say anything. I hope he does not doubt. That is the best outcome.
Under Huang Lele’s guidance, Zhang Bing drove to a shop called Tai Lei Loi Kei Coffee House [1]. It was a simple facade. Yang Ming couldn’t imagine that a miss like Huang Lele liked to eat at roadside stalls.
However, after listening to Wang Mei’s introduction, Yang Ming then knew how famous this seemingly insignificant little coffee house was! It even became a landmark in Macau. Many native people in Macau would come here for a cup of coffee and eat a pork chop bun in their spare time.
Huang Lele familiarly found a table, took the lead to sit down and ordered four cups of coffee and four pork chop buns. Because the pork chop buns were fresh out of the oven on time every day at three o’clock in the afternoon, and since now it was just past two o’clock, it would take a while before they can eat it.
Do you often come here to eat?
Yang Ming took a sip of the coffee that came first. It tasted delicious.
Yeah, every time I am on leave, I come here with Wang Mei.
Huang Lele nodded.
My favorite is to eat the pork chop bun here. I even learned how to make it, but I can’t replicate that taste.
Yang Ming smiled. This was natural. This kind of shop relied on these specialty foods to attract customers. If ordinary people could make it, there would not be as many people visiting.
Looking at Zhang Bing and Wang Mei who sat opposite of him, in this case, the two of them frequently had small interactions – stepping on the feet, scratching the palm of their hands. Yang Ming could not help but be angry and funny. They really are not afraid of death. They have been suspected, and yet they still dare to act like this?
Not long after, the number of people here had increased. It seemed that they came all came for the fresh out of the oven pork chop buns at three o’clock. In a short while, the pork chop buns would come out, but because there were many people, the waiter was probably anxious. When he was serving the pork chop buns, he accidentally knocked over half a cup of coffee that Zhang Bing had not finished drinking. Fortunately, it didn’t spill on his body. After the waiter apologized, he gave Zhang Bing a new cup of coffee.
Why didn’t he knock over my cup of coffee, then he could give me a new one…
Huang Lele swung her cup with a little coffee left and looked at Zhang Bing’s full cup of coffee with some envy.
After listening to that, the three of them laughed out loud. Huang Lele was really cute. With her family background, why would she care about a cup of coffee?
Zhang Bing pushed the cup of coffee to Huang Lele.
I’ll give it to you. I don’t want to drink anymore. I just want to eat the pork chop bun.
I… will order another cup…
Huang Lele embarrassingly declined and said.
Since he gave it to you, just drink it. He is a carnivorous animal.
Yang Ming smiled and brought the coffee back to Huang Lele.
Then Huang Lele picked it up and took a sip.
The pork chop bun here was delicious. It was very tasty. Because Huang Lele’s and Wang Mei’s appetites were relatively small, they ate a bit, and they couldn’t eat it anymore. However, Zhang Bing and Yang Ming ate eight more of them at a go, in total each eating five of them.
When they checked out, they found out that the things here were really not expensive. The four people only spent less than two hundred MOP. Because Wang Mei had something in her heart, she did not go to another place after eating this. Huang Lele wanted to go out with her second brother, so Yang Ming and Zhang Bing took them back to Huawei Casino.
In the meantime, Shu Ya sent a short message to Yang Ming and asked Yang Ming if he had any time tonight. Yang Ming naturally replied to the message saying that he had time. Shu Ya said that after the concert, she would look at the situation and try to get out.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Bing laid on the bed, a little melancholic. Yang Ming watched the TV and found that Zhang Bing was still silent. So he questioned Zhang Bing with some feeling of surprise,
What happened to you?
Zhang Bing sighed and sat up with some confusion. He said after a long while,
Bro, I fell in love with Wang Mei…
Huh
?
Yang Ming was stunned. He somewhat could not understand what he heard.
You? Fall in love with Wang Mei? What do you mean?
I found out that I developed a feeling for her… and it is particularly strong. It is just like love at first sight.
Zhang Bing held his head in his hands and said, overwhelmed.
Are you kidding me?
Yang Ming looked at Zhang Bing in amazement. Zhang Bing doesn’t seem like an irrational person.
What about Zhao Sisi?
I don’t know… but it’s two kinds of liking…
Zhang Bing shook his head and said,
Zhao Sisi is more like a loved one to me, plain but indispensable, yet there is no passion. However, Wang Mei and I are not the same…
Yang Ming waved his hand and stopped Zhang Bing from going on. Instead, he asked,
What are you going to do?
What can I do? I just don’t know what to do. That is why I am distressed. Just before, I hoped that Wang Mei and her boyfriend quarreled and broke up so that I have a chance…
Zhang Bing smiled bitterly.
Does Wang Mei know about your feelings for her?
asked Yang Ming. This is the key.
I don’t know…
Zhang Bing still shook his head.
Bro, what should I do?
You’re asking me?
Yang Ming looked at Zhang Bing and suddenly laughed.
Zhang Bing was inexplicable about being laughed at by Yang Ming. He somewhat confusedly said,
Bro, what are you laughing at…
If you ask me, the answer is very simple. That is, you have to accept them all…
Yang Ming smiled.
Right!
Zhang Bing hit his thigh and said,
How did I not think of it? Then it’ll be just like this…
Today in the corridor of the casino, I talked to Wang Mei. She has no feelings for her boyfriend. They are together mainly for the vanity of a woman. After all, her boyfriend’s family is rich. But you are not bad. It’s not bad to have her follow you.
Yang Ming analyzed,
Just, Wang Mei’s character is… You must at least confirm whether she loves you or not, or you will have a green hat to wear[2] in the future…
Zhang Bing nodded and did not say anything else, but he must have thought so, too. Since Wang Mei could betray her boyfriend and be together with Zhang Bing, how could he guarantee that she would not betray Zhang Bing in the future?
However, Yang Ming did not say anything. Zhang Bing knew about all this. It only depended on how he makes his decision. No matter what he thought, Yang Ming would support it. After all, this was a personal matter, and Yang Ming would not interfere too much.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Zhang Bing received a call from Wang Mei asking him to go out and meet. It could be heard in Wang Mei’s voice that she was crying.
Zhang Bing was sleeping. But after he took the call, he started to put on his clothes without saying anything.
Going out? Do you want me to go with you?
Yang Ming was afraid that Zhang Bing would cause trouble.
No need. I have to settle this kind of thing on my own.
Zhang Bing shook his head.
I will go by myself.
Then you must be careful. Probably, Wang Mei’s boyfriend already found out about the thing between the both of you.
Yang Ming said,
If there is any trouble, call me right away.
I got it. Bro, rest assured.
Zhang Bing patted his chest confidently.
Yang Ming had nothing to do here, but something happened at home. Yang Ming was watching TV when he received a call from Yang Li.
Big sister, is there something?
Yang Ming was surprised that Yang Li suddenly called him. Although the relationship with Yang Li had eased, and it was not like the tit-for-tat as before, after all, Yang Li attended a school out of town, so her intersection with Yang Ming was not big.
Big Ming, something happened with my dad and me.
Although Yang Li said that, she did not sound anxious. Maybe what happened was not really serious.
What happened?
asked Yang Ming.
Under my dad’s suggestion, Second Uncle’s company, which is your dad’s, started to work on some heavy engineering equipment, right? My dad and I went to an engineering company in Phoenix City to talk about business, but we were stopped by another local engineering equipment factory.
Yang Li said,
They threatened us not to sell our company’s products in Phoenix City. Otherwise, we would be at risk.
Originally, it would be alright to call Yang Dahai, but since the kidnapping incident, Yang Li had an inexplicable trust in Yang Ming. The first thing she thought of was to call her younger brother.
Oh
? Are you all right?
asked Yang Ming.
