Just as he finishes speaking, he sees Yeâs brother coming over. Tang Zhou was somewhat taken aback: âHuh, Brother Ye, what are you doing here?â
âIf Iâm not here, how would I know that youâre outside defending your little friend to such an extent?â Brother Ye looked at Leng Chenmo.
At that, Tang Zhouâs bravado instantly faded. He pulled a long face without saying a thing. Only after leaving the main hall did he snort: âWhoâs defending him? It doesnât matter if he loses face, but I absolutely canât. If even the people from Tang Zhouâs clan are casually insulted, where do I put my face, where do you put yours, Brother Ye, where does the Ye family put its face, where does Brother Ting, who is about to be the president, put his face? Iâm considering the big picture, looking at the long term.â
Brother Ye watched Tang Zhou for a while making him super uncomfortable: âBrother Ye, why are you staring at me? What I said is all true. If even the Ye familyâs son-in-law can be bullied, wouldnât others think that the Ye family has fallen from grace?â
âNothing much.â Brother Ye withdrew his gaze and said, âJust realized that youâre indeed my little brother.â
âHuh?â
Brother Ye recalled the call he had with their eldest brother in the hallway, and tossed out a phrase: âYouâve truly learned from me.â
Then he repeated Elder Brotherâs closing remark: âHehe.â
What does that mean?
Tang Zhou didnât understand?
Tang Zhou asked Leng Chenmo who was behind him: âWhat does my brother mean by that?â
Leng Chenmo said: âNothing much, in summary, itâs probably âsaying one thing and meaning another.â
Tang Zhou: â!!!!!!â
Tang Zhou was fuming: âHoly shit! When did I ever say one thing and mean another? Everything I said was the truth!â
However, Leng Chenmo couldnât hide the restrained smile at the corner of his mouth: âYeah, I believe you. Itâs the truth.â
âThen what the fuck are you laughing for!â Tang Zhou felt tremendously embarrassed, and emphasized firmly: âYou best not think that I have feelings for you! Iâm telling you, donât flatter yourself. The reason Iâm defending you is that I, Tang Zhou, cannot tolerate anyone bullying those around me. Even if itâs a cat or a dog, as long as itâs raised by me, itâs got to strut its stuff in this city. It canât be subservient, otherwise, Iâll lose face. You get it?â
âI get it.â Leng Chenmo still had the same tone, a whispering voice with a hint of a gentle laugh.
Holy shit, Tang Zhou felt like swearing at any moment. If you understand, then you understand, but can you please not laugh when you say you do? That laugh makes me lose so much face. Has he gone mad and misunderstood?
He could have feelings for Leng Chenmo?
Hahaha, thatâs too laughable!
Tang Zhou rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing half of his delicate white arm, and roared: âYouâre still laughing? Donât tell me you think that Iâm defending you because I have feelings for you? If youâre still confused, I suggest you go to the menâs restroom and clear your head!â
Initially, Brother Ye was walking side by side with Tang Zhou, but he suddenly quickened his pace. Not wanting to be an awkward third wheel, he tossed out a sentence: âI have other social engagements, you guys have fun.â
âDonât go!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tang Zhou was still fuming: âBrother Ye, you tell him, isnât it my first love, Passion Fish, that I have feelings for? Speaking of which, Brother Ye, I havenât settled the score with you yet. You actually turned the love token of my first love into an ankle bracelet and gave it to Little Starlight. Thatâs mine! Give it back!â
