Chapter 40 Huang Chengcheng's Mischief
"Ah Chao, this is the last lion's head meatball on the plate. Do you want it? If not, I'll take it!"
The lion's head meatballs were sent over by Director Liu through a third party. The crisp water chestnuts and chewy meat filling were combined together and were incredibly delicious.
Jiang Chao gave him a cold look, picked up the lion's head meatball, and put it into the empty porcelain bowl. "There's only one for each person. Not only did you eat two, but you're also eyeing a third. Put away that disgusting, aggrieved expression. This one is for Yunxia!"
As the eldest brother, he was like a father to the little girl. He had to distribute the rare food evenly. Jiang Chao snorted and placed the bowl in front of the little girl. "Whether you give it to her or keep it is up to you."
Yunxia had vomited all morning and now only wanted to eat something light, but... Feng Jingling had already eaten two, while Jiang Chao hadn't even tasted a single one.
His eyes flashed, and he thought of a clever idea. He used chopsticks to cut the lion's head in half and served it to Feng Jingling and Jiang Chao respectively.
"Since I'm in charge, you two will each get half. No arguing, no fighting, and no giving it away to anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jingling happily started eating the large meatballs, while Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment before slowly munching on the meat after hearing someone's urging.
The pleasant weekend always passes by quickly, and before you know it, it's time to go to school in the morning sun again.
The three of them were drinking milk and making noise as they made their way forward when suddenly a woman in pink appeared at the fork in the road, spreading her arms and blocking their path.
"Brother Ling, please don't ignore me. I was wrong about what happened last time, sob sob, please forgive me, okay?"
The exquisitely dressed young girl, with pearly tears in the corners of her eyes, looked like a pear blossom in the rain, perfectly embodying the image of someone who evokes pity and sorrow. She had the girl completely under her thumb.
But there's no one here who cares about women!
"Huang Chengcheng, a good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way, or... you'll regret it."
"How could you say such things about me, Brother Ling? Have you forgotten the happy childhood days we spent together?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not even a friend to you."
Feng Jingling thought she was crazy and didn't want to deal with her. She took Yun Xia and Jiang Chao's hands and tried to walk past them from the side of the road.
Seeing his heartlessness, Huang Chengcheng frowned, moved her position, and blocked their way again.
"Brother Ling, please consider the Buddha's sake, even if you don't care about the monk. My father treated you very well when you were a child. Could you please accept this batch of goods?"
"Heh, don't the Huang family know what kind of goods they have? Are they looking for a sucker?"
Fengjingling: Thanks to Achao, I successfully learned how to roast people.
"Brother Ling, if we don't sell this batch of goods soon, the factory's cash flow will dry up. I'm begging you, sob sob!"
"Huang Chengcheng, there's no stage here, no one's watching your act. Stop crying like that. Not only will I not take this guy, no one in the entire Jiangcheng will take him. You'd better think of another way to make a living!"
Having said that, he disregarded maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, pushed her aside, and led Yunxia and Jiang Chao away.
Staggering a few steps before regaining her balance, Huang Chengcheng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned her head, and glared angrily at the tightly clasped hands, thinking to herself, "Brother Ling is mine, and no one can take him away from me."
"Big brother, what's the deal with the goods Huang Chengcheng mentioned?"
"Oh, her dad owns a toy factory, but business hasn't been good lately, so he got the idea to do something crooked. He's using cheap materials to copy a foreign brand. Not only is the quality poor, but it's also been exposed that the toys are harmful to children's health. Who would dare to take his orders?"
"But... one shipment and it's causing a cash flow crisis? That's terrifying!"
"Heh, Huang Yiming is planning something big, he's throwing in a lot of money. Little Butterfly, you can't even imagine how big this batch of goods is."
"You two stop chatting. Whether you make a lot of money or the factory goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with us. If you don't hurry up, you'll be late."
"Phew, big brother, Jiang Chao, let's have a race and see who runs the fastest! One, two... Bye-bye!"
"Little butterfly, you're cheating! You haven't even counted to three yet!"
With that, he slung his backpack behind his waist, used his leg muscles to propel himself forward, and ran after the girl who was as fast as the wind.
"childish!"
Even so, Jiang Chao still ran to catch up!
After watching Yunxia enter the room, Jiang Chao led the panting man away.
"Ah Chao, slow down, I... I can't keep up."
"You're out of breath after running this short distance; your physical condition is terrible, you need more exercise."
"Hey, you can be sarcastic, but don't make personal attacks!"
Pinching my aching belly, I moved forward at a snail's pace, resulting in... being late and being punished by standing in the corner!
In the corridor, Feng Jingling, who was being punished, tilted her head and said apologetically, "Ah Chao, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been late. You can hit me or scold me, I will definitely not fight back."
Jiang Chao rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "Shut up, don't disturb my class!"
Inside the classroom, the math teacher was passionately explaining formulas and theorems, and Jiang Chao, who was sitting close to the wall, had been listening intently.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jingling pursed her lips, lowered her head, and silently played with her toes, thinking to herself that there was a reason why someone got first place in every subject.
...
Ring ring! Ring ring!
As soon as the school bell rang, Yunxia quickly packed her schoolbag and dashed headlong toward the dumpling restaurant.
Bang!
Before anyone could even see who it had hit, a loud crash rang out, and the exquisite crystal ball fell to the ground, shattering glass everywhere and splashing water all over the place. The colorful carousel inside the ball also broke into countless pieces.
"Waaaaah, my birthday present! Waaaaah, will you pay me back?"
That affected, pretentious voice... why does it sound so familiar?
I looked up and was instantly stunned. Wasn't this the obstacle that had blocked my way this morning?
"Huang Chengcheng, it was clearly you who bumped into me!"
Just as I was running with great enthusiasm, she suddenly rushed from the left. Luckily, I had good coordination, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground.
"You're the one who bumped into me! Everyone, be the judge! I'm wearing a pretty dress, and I have to walk very carefully. She, on the other hand, is covered in filth, and there's sweat on her forehead. You can tell she was in a hurry to get home and do chores!"
The whispers of the onlookers made Yunxia's ears itch. She irritably scratched at them a few times, "Hey, what exactly do you want?"
"Pay me back! A thousand yuan! This was bought from abroad by someone my dad asked!"
"A thousand dollars? Why don't you just rob someone?"
"Hehe, since you're Brother Ling's friend, I even lowered the price! This model is discontinued, it's priceless, and even when someone offered two thousand yuan, I couldn't bear to sell it!"
He contradicts himself, saying one minute it's about buying birthday gifts from overseas, the next it's about discontinued styles that are priceless and unavailable. Haha, let's see what's going on.
"Huang Chengcheng, do you think I'm stupid? Are you trying to extort money from me? Fine, I'm going all out today. Let's go to the police station and let the police determine who is responsible for this."
Upon hearing that they were going to the police station, the girl in pink immediately became agitated. "You think I'll just go like that? Wouldn't I lose face? Heh, you don't have the money to pay, so you're trying to whine and beg an adult to let this go?"
"Look at your pathetic state, you probably couldn't afford to pay back my crystal ball even if you sold yourself. Fine, I'm magnanimous, as long as you do me a favor, you won't have to pay back the money!"
