Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
âSir, do you want to buy flowers?â asked a small voice.
Yang Ming raised his head. He noticed a little girl holding a bundle of flowers looking at him pitifully.
âHow much?â asked Yang Ming.
âTen⊠ten yuanâŠâ The little girl said carefully.
Christmas flowers were more expensive, and Yang Ming knew it well too. He gazed at the pitiful little girl and he said, âGive me a flower.â
As Yang Ming spoke, he took out ten yuan.
âElder brother⊠can you buy more?â The little girl hurriedly said, âI beg of you⊠I have sold merely six of them today. If I donât sell enough, I will be beaten up at nightâŠâ
âBeaten up?â Yang Ming frowned. âWhat do you mean?â
âI⊠elder brother, please donât ask anymoreâŠâ When the little girl spoke, her gaze moved to a bench not far away.
Yang Ming followed the little girlâs gaze and saw a man with a fierce appearance sitting on the bench smoking. He looked around from time to time. Yang Ming immediately understood that this guy must be the leader of an illegal network of children who sold flowers. Apparently, there was more than one child selling flowers here.
Yang Ming sighed. In regard to such matters, although he wanted to deal with it, he couldnât do anything about it. If Yang Ming wanted to stand up for it, the man would definitely say that this little girl was his daughter or simply shoved his crime away. However, Yang Ming didnât intend to let him go.
âZhang Bing, Tian Donghua, come over and buy flowers for your girlfriend.â Yang Ming summoned.
Yang Ming bought for Chen Mengyan. Of course, Tian Donghua and Zhang Bing naturally paid for them as well. No one would do anything that would taint their reputation.
As the first girl in a group to receive a flower, Chen Mengyan was delighted. Therefore, Chen Mengyan made an exception to the be generous for once as she dragged Yang Ming aside and whispered, âYang Ming, Zhou Jiajia hasnât received any flowers. She is the only one who didnât receive one. How embarra.s.sing can it be? How about you buy one for her?â
â Ah? â Yang Ming was stunned. You want me to buy flowers for Zhou Jiajia? What international joke is that? However, looking at Chen Mengyanâs eager eyes, Yang Ming couldnât bear to refuse. Let it be. Itâs rare that Chen Mengyan is being generous. Yang Ming simply nodded and said, âOkay.â
So, Yang Ming took out another ten yuan and bought a rose. The little girl was naturally very happy that she got herself another sale.
âThis is for you.â Yang Ming extended his hand with the flower in front of Zhou Jiajia.
â Ah âŠâ Zhou Jiajiaâs face immediately showed an expression as though she couldnât believe it. She was surprised and excited yet had a hint of hesitation! Whatâs Yang Ming doing? Is he toying around with me?
Happiness had come too fast. Zhou Jiajia felt it was surreal. Although she just heard what Chen Mengyan said to Yang Ming, she knew that this rose didnât mean anything special. They were merely afraid of her being embarra.s.sed, so they bought it for her!
However, Zhou Jiajia was very familiar with Yang Mingâs character. She was clear on Yang Mingâs att.i.tude toward her! At this moment, no matter what, if Yang Ming could buy a flower for her, it indicated that the relations.h.i.+p between them still showed signs of being alleviated!
However, Zhou Jiajia once again recognized Chen Mengyanâs position in Yang Mingâs heart! Indeed, this womanâs position in Yang Mingâs heart is no less than Su Yaâs!
In other words, if I get the approval of Chen Mengyan, it isnât far from my ideal goal. In any case, Su Ya had become a past tense. Now, Chen Mengyan was the pillow person next to Yang Ming! Therefore, Zhou Jiajia felt that it was necessary for her to adjust her plan. On the other side of Su Ya, she could get her forgiveness later.
Zhou Jiajia trembled and took the rose from Yang Mingâs hand. She was too excited that she didnât know what to say. w.a.n.g Xue smiled and looked at Zhou Jiajia with a deeper intention. âJiajia, why are you shaking? Is it cold?â As she spoke, she threw an eye signal to Zhou Jiajia.
Yang Ming was also trying to ask this question. She didnât expect w.a.n.g Xue to voice it out first.
After receiving the hint from w.a.n.g Xue, Zhou Jiajia quickly hid her emotions! Indeed, Chen Mengyan is still in front of me. I canât show anything improper. Otherwise, the friends.h.i.+p I just built with her will definitely break down instantly.
If Chen Mengyan is being defensive to me, then the previous efforts would be lost! Zhou Jiajia suddenly woke up and said quickly, âYes, itâs a bit cold. Haha , I didnât wear enough.â
Yang Ming didnât suspect her. He nodded and said nothing. For Zhou Jiajia, she was holding the rose tightly, fearing as though the flower would disappear. Moreover, from time to time, she used her peripheral vision to look at the rose. A slightly noticeable smile came across the corner of her mouth.
w.a.n.g Xue sighed secretly. Zhou Jiajia, how can you be satisfied so easily? Itâs just a flower, and not specifically bought for you. Yet, it makes you happy like this.
Indeed, Zhou Jiajia now had a feeling of dizziness like the feeling of being stunned by happiness. Zhou Jiajia at this moment was very easy to satisfy. Just like many little girls who were eager to be blessed, a little surprise would make her feel blessed for a long time.
Zhou Jiajia felt that she really didnât come out in vain today. At least, she had received a flower! Although Zhou Jiajia always received flowers from boys, the one given by Yang Ming couldnât be the same as those! Even though there was only one, Zhou Jiajia treasured it.
Yang Ming took the free time to call Chen Fei when he headed to the cinema. He took out his cell phone and called Chen Fei. Forcing children to sell flowers, such matters naturally had to be dealt with by the police!
âh.e.l.lo, Uncle Chen, Iâm Yang Ming.â Yang Ming said.
â Oh? Yang Ming. Itâs quite late. Why are you looking for Uncle Chen?â Chen Fei asked.
â Haha , Uncle Chen, this is the case. I just bought a rose at the KFC gate of Huahai Main Street. I found out that the children seem to be controlled by a criminal group. Moreover, there are some abused children.â Yang Ming said, âI suspect that the people who instruct these children are nearby.â
â Oh? You went to Huahai Street? Did you buy flowers? Are you going out with your girlfriend?â Chen Fei asked.
âYes, haha .â Yang Ming smiled.
âWith your high school cla.s.smate? Is it the study commissary?â Chen Fei asked again.
â En .â Yang Ming nodded and didnât understand why Chen Fei was so meticulous.
â Oh , did the both of you reconcile?â Chen Fei continued to ask, â Oh ya , was the Disney doll I suggested to you as a gift effective?â
âYes⊠but Uncle Chen, shouldnât you care about the issue of the children first? Why are you always interested in my private life?â Yang Ming sweated.
â Oh , it has already been recorded. Xia Xue had already brought a police team to investigate it.â Chen Fei added on, âDid you expect Uncle Chen to personally lead the team to go out? It isnât a serious case.â
â Oh , Sister Xia Xue is coming. Thatâs okay.â Yang Ming said in his heart. Xia Xue, a vicious girl who holds a hatred to the evil. Most likely the leader would face his unfortunate end!
â Haha , then I will not bother you further. Enjoy your time!â Chen Fei said, â Oh ya , Yang Ming. Iâm still relatively opposed to premarital s.e.x. You shouldnât let me down!â
â Huh ?â Yang Ming hung up the phone. He thought to himself, Why is Uncle Chen caring about my affairs more than my own mother? Premarital s.e.x? Does he have a say in it? It isnât illegal!
âYang Ming, who did you call?â Chen Mengyan asked in a soft voice.
â Oh , I made a call to the police.â Yang Ming didnât have to hide. â Oh ya , did you realize that the little girl who was selling flowers seemed to be forced?â
â En , I found it strange at the time. It really seems like this when you say it!â Chen Mengyan nodded and said to Yang Ming, âYou wait for me. I will call my family.â
Yang Ming didnât think there was anything odd, so he nodded. Chen Mengyan called her family so Yang Ming didnât plan to eavesdrop. So, he deliberately took a few steps away.
Chen Mengyanâs heart was very kind. Hearing that the children were forced, her sympathy swelled up immediately. Although Yang Ming made a call to the police, Chen Mengyan was afraid that the police station wouldnât pay enough attention. Hence, she called her father.
âDad, Itâs Mengyan.â Chen Mengyan said.
â Oh? Mengyan, whatâs wrong? Why are you looking for dad?â Chen Fei felt it was odd. How come my daughter calls just after Yang Ming hung up? Are they not together? That doesnât seem right. Wasnât Yang Ming saying they were together? Is there another person?
âThat⊠I have something to tell youâŠâ So, Chen Mengyan said the same thing about the little girl who sold the flowers.
Chen Fei couldnât help but be dumbfounded! It seems that the sense of justice of my daughter and son-in-law is quite strong!
âMengyan, we have received the police call. We have already sent out the police team. Hence, you donât have to worry about it!â Chen Fei said with a smile, â Oh ya , Mengyan. Where are you? Who are you with?â
