So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 698 - A Chance Encounter at a Restaurant

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

All the way until the evening, Yang Ming hadn’t received any valuable news. It wasn’t that Bao Sanli didn’t work hard. He had done his best. Yang Ming had not given him many tasks. This time, he had the opportunity, so he would definitely sharpen his mind and finish it.

However, even if Song Jiang was turned over, the modern van was nowhere to be found. Instead, he got information from the vehicle management office. This license plate was reported lost six months ago and the original car had been replaced. Moreover, the original model wasn’t a modern van but a Toyota Hiace van.

Yang Ming didn’t expect any clues from the license plate. After all, no one would drive his own car to commit a crime. Bao Sanli went to check it out simply because he didn’t want to let go of the slightest possibility.

The modern van disappeared completely. No one knew the people in the van. This group of people and the van vanished from the face of the earth and was concealed quietly.

Or, they had left Song Jiang and there was no way to start looking for their whereabouts.

The trail was broken. Although Yang Ming was unwilling, he could only give up. He informed Bao Sanli to have a few people continue with the follow up of this event. The others would return to their respective positions, each performing their duties.

The incident was over but it left a knot in Yang Ming’s heart. As long as Yang Ming couldn’t figure out the truth of the incident, he would feel a little worried.

Originally, the jewelry company was a legitimate industry, so Yang Ming didn’t think too much of it. But after this incident, Yang Ming had to add some additional manpower to protect the daily safety of the company.

Since Chen Mengyan already knew about Lin Zhiyun’s matter, Yang Ming didn’t have to avoid it anymore. It turned out that Lin Zhiyun had never come to the jewelry company to work because Yang Ming was afraid that Chen Mengyan would make a fuss after knowing it.

In fact, Yang Ming felt that he really owed Lin Zhiyun. After Chinese New Year, the number of times Yang Ming went to Lin Zhiyun’s home was quite small.

Yang Ming looked at the time. It was only two o’clock in the afternoon. Yang Ming had been dealing with some of the after events at the jewelry company with Zhao Sisi. He had been busy until now and hadn’t eaten yet.

Yang Ming stepped into Auntie Hong’s “Popular Snacks.” In the vicinity, the decent snack department was also here. Yang Ming sometimes didn’t eat when he came to Fang Tian’s house, so then he would settle his meal here.

Auntie Hong also knew that Yang Ming was Lin Zhiyun’s boyfriend, so she treated Yang Ming enthusiastically every time he came.

“Little Yang, you are here. Come in and have a seat.” Auntie Hong welcomed him warmly. “Do you want to sit in the private room?”

“I’m alone. Why do I need a private room?” Yang Ming was a bit puzzled. “It’s fine to sit outside.”

“That… Ai …” Auntie Hong sighed and tried to speak but then stopped.

This made Yang Ming even more inexplicable. As Yang Ming entered the store, he simply found a table to sit down. He noticed there was a group of people drinking at another table just as he raised his head. Li Dadong was sitting among them.

Yang Ming thought for a while and understood Auntie Hong’s intention. She must be aware of my awkward encounter with Li Dadong. Hence, she pushed me into the private room as soon as I came in.

However, since the encounter had already happened, Yang Ming couldn’t pretend to not know him. Never mind that Yang Ming had spoken well with Li Dadong last time.

(Author Notes: For Li Dadong, read “Chapter 549: Contest” for details.)

“‘Big Winter Melon [1]’!” Yang Ming smiled and nodded to Li Dadong as he greeted him.

“Yang… Yang Ming…” Li Dadong was caught off guard as he replied in awkwardness. He didn’t expect to meet Yang Ming here.

“Da Dongzi, who is he?” Asked another young man who was drinking with Li Dadong.

“A friend…” Li Dadong said vaguely.

“Come and drink together then?” Another man who was bold greeted Yang Ming.

“I will pass. I have an appointment. I need to go after the meal.” Yang Ming said with some regrets. Before he came, he called Lin Zhiyun. Yang Ming said that he was a little hungry and he wanted to come over to eat. Since Lin Zhiyun had nothing to do, she replied to Yang Ming that she would meet him at the restaurant.

Now that Yang Ming encountered Li Dadong, he was thinking whether or not he should call Lin Zhiyun and ask her not to come. After all, it was awkward.

However, from another perspective, Yang Ming thought that Li Dadong had to face this matter sooner or later. It was absolutely impossible for Yang Ming to give up Lin Zhiyun, so there was no need to avoid anything. So Yang Ming dismissed the idea. He picked up the menu and ordered fried rice in addition to a small plate of sauced beef.

Lin Zhiyun’s home was close to this place. As Yang Ming just put down the menu, Lin Zhiyun arrived swiftly. Perhaps Li Dadong also saw Lin Zhiyun, and he was afraid that it would be awkward, so he lowered his head. Lin Zhiyun didn’t realize his presence at all.

“Yang Ming, why don’t you go to my house to eat?” Lin Zhiyun was dissatisfied that Yang Ming came to eat at the restaurant despite being so close to her place.

“Aunty Shen isn’t home. No one will prepare food for me even if I came. Also, even if Aunty Shen was there, this isn’t mealtime. I’m so embarrassed to trouble her!” Yang Ming said.

“But I can prepare it for you. Food like fried rice can be served quickly.” Lin Zhiyun said.

Yang Ming was shocked but he immediately understood it. It seemed Lin Zhiyun also knew how to cook. At this day and age, there weren’t many girls who could cook. Yang Ming didn’t expect to have more than one at his side.

” Hey ? Dadong, isn’t that your Lin Zhiyun?” The bold young man who was drinking with Li Dadong suddenly realized something.

Li Dadong could only smile bitterly. Those who drank with him were his high school buddies. These people knew Li Dadong’s matter very well. Many of them knew Lin Zhiyun and knew that Li Dadong had feelings for Lin Zhiyun.

Originally, they thought that these two people would naturally become a pair, but they didn’t expect that Lin Zhiyun was chatting and laughing with another man.

Just now, the bold young man asked Li Dadong to invite Lin Zhiyun over. Li Dadong answered perfunctorily. The bold young man didn’t think much, but now, he understood that Li Dadong lost his love!

The other thin man who ate together with them also frowned as he spoke to Li Dadong, “Da Dongzi, what the hell is going on? Who is that kid? Why is he sitting with our sister-in-law?”

” Ai !” Li Dadong knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore and sighed, “He is Zhiyun’s boyfriend…”

“Damn, Da Dongzi, what the hell happened? What’s wrong between you and Lin Zhiyun?” The bold young man was hot-headed.

“I don’t know… When I came back during Chinese New Year, Lin Zhiyun already had a boyfriend…” Li Dadong shook his head. His words were full of sorrow.

“But, you should ask her out clearly. You have so many years of feelings with her. How is it incomparable to a boyfriend who she just met?” The thin man was also puzzled. “We are all from the same high school. All of us have witnessed your journey with Lin Zhiyun. How come a boyfriend just appeared out of nowhere?”

“Forget it… Some things, especially feelings… is hard to talk it out clearly…” Li Dadong picked up the beer in front of him and drank it.

“Damn! Li Dadong, are you a damn man? Did you give up just like that?” The bold young man threw a glare and said, “Aren’t you quite a gentleman? Looking at your beloved woman chat with another man in laughter, how can you really bear it?”

“I…” Li Dadong blushed and couldn’t speak.

The voice of the bold young man was a little loud. Both Lin Zhiyun and Yang Ming heard it. Lin Zhiyun also noticed Li Dadong sitting not far away.

“Brother Dadong…” Lin Zhiyun also understood Li Dadong’s intention, but she knew it was simply impossible between her and Li Dadong. In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Zhiyun got up and said hello to Li Dadong.

“Zhiyun…” Li Dadong opened his mouth but only these two words came out.

“Lin Zhiyun, what the hell happened? Why did you find a boyfriend?” The bold young man was hot-headed. Since Li Dadong didn’t talk, he couldn’t hold it in.

“Brother Yao Yang, I did look for a boyfriend… What is wrong with that…?” Lin Zhiyun clearly knew the bold young man.

“A few of us were all optimistic about you and Da Dongzi. Why did you betray him?” The thin man’s words weren’t as polite as the bold young man named Yao Yang.

Lin Zhiyun frowned. Yang Ming, who was sitting on the side, was also a little displeased. He looked at the thin man with a squint and said, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

“How does it have nothing to do with me?” The thin man was hot-headed from Yang Ming’s remarks. He turned to Li Dadong and said, “Li Dadong, if you are still a man, stand up now and kill this brat with a beer bottle!”

“Forget it, Zheng Zetao.” Li Dadong shook his head, and said to Lin Zhiyun in embarrassment, “I’m sorry. He drank too much…”

“Li Dadong, you are a f*cking pussy!” Zheng Zetao slammed the table and shouted, “We have three people. Do we need to be afraid of him?”

Auntie Hong also noticed the quarrel here, and she quickly came over to mediate the situation. “What happened? Don’t be angry…”
