Chapter 61: Picking Up a Bargain
"Brother Zilong, go call that girl over here, I'll kneel down and apologize to her. If she doesn't forgive me, I'll never get up again!"
"Is this what you mean by 'one person takes responsibility for his own actions'? This is clearly an attempt to blackmail the girl morally, putting her on the spot and forcing her to forgive you!"
Chen Zilong said this through gritted teeth, his tone was cold, his face was ashen, and his fists were almost clenched so hard that they could make a crackling sound.
Rage swept over him, and his cold black eyes were stained with two shades of scarlet. "Get out of my house, and don't call me brother anymore."
Chen Zilong thought about the past two days of getting along with Ye Siran. He liked her personality very much and felt that she had extraordinary conversation skills.
She is beautiful and very strong. She came here from Beijing alone at a young age just to accompany her grandparents.
Whenever he saw her, his heart leaped with joy, like fireworks rising in the sky.
He was looking forward to the two of them continuing to be together until they got married, so he happily took the letter of introduction from his father's office and immediately rushed home.
I wanted to test my mother's intentions and ask her to cook a few more delicious dishes to entertain Sister Siran and her brother.
But as soon as he opened his mouth to test the water, his mother slapped him on the arm and glared at him with disappointment.
He even asked sarcastically, "Son, were you deceived by that girl?"
"Mom, how can you not like Sister Siran when you haven't even met her? Besides, how could she lie to me? What can she lie to me about?" Chen Zilong looked horrified.
When Chen's mother heard this, she was shocked. It seemed that Tongtong was right. Her son had really fallen into the trap set by that girl.
It seemed that the girl was indeed not simple, so Chen's mother slapped his arm hard again.
And he said earnestly: "Think about it, if she didn't lie, why would she let you buy so many things?"
"She asked me to buy a lot of things? Mom, who told you that?" Chen Zilong asked in disbelief.
Seeing her son's denial, Chen's mother said angrily, "Tongtong saw you carrying a lot of bags at the store entrance."
"Li Tongtong? You are so ignorant. I clearly told her that I was buying for the company, but she actually said bad things about Siran's sister to you?"
"Are you still lying? I've already called your army, and I didn't ask you to buy anything at all!"
"I bought necessities for my comrades. Mom, you actually called the army just because of Li Tongtong's nonsense?"
"Li Tongtong, you still have the nerve to come to my house? Look at what nonsense you are talking about in front of your mother."
So he became furious and argued with Li Tongtong until his father and elder brother came home from get off work.
Seeing his second son's eyes red with anger, Chen Wei said in a stiff tone: "Tongtong, don't come to our house in the future. You disappoint me so much."
When Li Tongtong heard that Uncle Chen and Chen Zilong were going to drive her away, her face changed drastically and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
She had been pursuing Chen Zilong for five years, but he was like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard. She wanted to pursue someone else, so she came to Chen's house.
She just wanted to find out where the man today was from, and told Aunt Chen that Chen Zilong had a girlfriend.
Don't let Aunt Chen think that you are fickle, because you didn't expect it to end up like this.
Li Tongtong felt as if she had eaten a fly. She felt extremely uncomfortable and tears of grievance flowed down her face.
Seeing Li Tongtong's expression as if she had eaten shit, Chen Zilong snorted in his heart and said nothing more.
He was extremely anxious, but his mother kept holding him back and wouldn't let him leave. He didn't want his mother to misunderstand Sister Siran, so he didn't want to disobey his mother and just leave.
Chen Zihao gloated and said, "Li Tongtong, did you hear that? My dad and my brother told you not to come to our house anymore."
"Brother Zihao, I know Brother Zilong has never liked me. Now that he has a partner, I just want to ask him, who was the man following him today?"
"That guy is pursuing Sister Siran. I have been arguing with you for so long because I know that you are fickle and have fallen for that guy, and you want to ruin other people's good fortunes."
Chen Zilong lied expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on Li Tongtong, as if trying to see through all her thoughts.
If he had known that Li Tongtong wanted to pursue Ye Jingxiao, he would never have wasted time arguing with her.
But he has wasted so much time and doesn't know where Si Ran and her brother are now!
He lied just because he wanted his mother to stop detaining him. He wanted to go pick up Si Ran and her brother as soon as possible.
Sure enough, when Chen's mother heard Chen Zilong's words, her expression visibly eased a lot.
She grabbed her second son's arm and asked in a high voice, "Zilong, why didn't you tell me earlier that the girl had a boyfriend?"
She saw the coldness in her husband and son's eyes and she was also scared. Fortunately, fortunately, the girl has a partner!
Before, she saw her son, who was usually not good at speaking, arguing with Li Tongtong about that girl until her husband and eldest son came home from get off work.
She thought the father and son would stop the second son, but they blamed Li Tongtong together.
Mother Chen was extremely angry. She cursed Ye Siran thousands of times in her heart, but the girl was not her son's match!
This made her very embarrassed, and Chen Wei saw that his wife no longer held on to their second son.
He happily raised the cigarettes and alcohol in his hand and put them in front of his wife to show off, "Look, these are all given to me by Ye Zhiqing when he asked me to do something for him.
That child is sensible and capable. No wonder our Zilong would quarrel with Li Tongtong for her. What about you! Without asking any questions, just..."
"Can you blame me for this? Tongtong said that our Zilong has a girlfriend and bought her a lot of things in the store. I was afraid that he would be cheated!"
"Mom, can I go pick up Brother Jing Xiao now?" Chen Zilong asked anxiously.
"Okay, go and pick them up to come home for dinner." Seeing that her husband and sons looked better, Mother Chen smiled and gave the order.
Ye Siran had no idea that the Chen family had gotten into trouble because of her, and she had never really thought about finding a partner.
At this time, she was picking and choosing in the recycling station. She first picked up a large pile of waste newspapers to pass the time for her grandfather and those big guys.
In a corner she saw a gold bracelet inlaid with sapphire, turquoise and agate gems.
Because it was covered with a thick layer of dust, its beauty could not be seen, but Ye Siran knew that this bracelet came from the palace.
They weren't the kind that were dug out from the ground. There were several other pieces of jewelry next to the bracelet.
Her eyes lit up slightly. Many people are struggling to make ends meet now and would never spend money to buy these dusty jewels.
She hadn't quite wiped the dust off the bracelet yet, but she could see the colours.
It turned out that there were bargains to be found at the scrap recycling station, and she put several extraordinary antiques directly into the space, not wanting to leave them behind.
She hurried to the entrance of the department store and saw her brother pushing a bicycle and looking out the door.
"Brother, you bought it so quickly? Uh, why is it women's?"
