Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142 True Proof (18)
A table full of delicious dishes left Wang Chen with a full stomach.
Wang Zhengyang, having little ambition in his official career, was a content person who had developed decent cooking skills to feed the won at ho.
During the al, he enthusiastically served Wang Chen food, making Wang Xiaong jealous.
After finishing this sumptuous dinner, Wang Xiaong imdiately acted coquettishly towards Wang Chen, “Brother, don’t you have any gifts for ?”
Wang Chen smiled and playfully pinched her small nose: “Let’s go buy it now, you can choose whatever you like!”
Looking at his charming sister, Wang Chen couldn’t help but rember the toughest ti in his senior year of high school when Wang Xiaong, not knowing from where she had heard of his situation, had given him her entire piggy bank.
Inside it was several thousand dollars!
Wang Xiaong smiled from ear to ear: “Let’s go to Yintai.”
Tian Wenxiu frowned: “Wang Xiaong!”
She did not like her daughter asking Wang Chen for gifts, even if it was just out of sibling affection.
Wang Xiaong pursed her lips in a pout.
“It’s okay.”
Wang Zhengyang indulgently said: “You siblings haven’t seen each other for a long ti, go out and have fun, but rember to co back before ten.”
Compared to the strict Tian Wenxiu, he was more lenient towards his daughter.
And he enjoyed seeing Wang Xiaong and Wang Chen getting along.
“Thanks, Dad!”
Wang Xiaong was overjoyed, hugging Wang Zhengyang’s arm and showering him with flattery: “Love you!”
Wang Zhengyang happily patted his daughter on the head.
Wang Xiaong, fearing delays might complicate things, quickly dragged Wang Chen away, leaving dear old dad alone to face their somber mom.
The siblings left the neighborhood and hailed a taxi on the roadside to head for Yintai City.
Yintai City is one of the largest and busiest malls in the provincial city, offering everything from dining, entertainnt, to upscale shops.
Inside the mall, Wang Chen asked, “Xiaong, what do you want to buy?”
Wang Xiaong already had an answer to this question: “I want to buy a Casio digital watch, we can’t bring phones into school, and my old watch is so outdated, I’ve been wanting to replace it!”
“Okay.”
So, Wang Chen took her to the Casio boutique on the first floor of Yintai.
However, they argued over the choice of watches.
Wang Xiaong wanted to buy a digital watch that only cost a few hundred, while Wang Chen chose one for her that cost more than a thousand.
“I am your brother, you have to listen to !”
Wang Chen didn’t argue further and simply told the shop assistant: “Go ahead and do the billing.”
The shop assistant smiled and said: “Okay.”
She then turned to Wang Xiaong and said: “Your brother is really good to you!”
Wang Xiaong proudly responded: “Of course.”
In the end, they bought the more expensive digital watch with more features for over a thousand.
Wang Xiaong delightedly wore it on her wrist and sweetly said to Wang Chen: “Thank you, brother. I’ll get you a watch for your birthday too.”
Only then did Wang Chen rember that his birthday was coming in half a month.
He didn’t say much, just smiled and said: “Okay.”
“Wang Xiaong?”
Just then, a surprised voice suddenly ca from beside them: “What are you doing here?”
Wang Chen and Wang Xiaong both turned their heads, seeing a group of boys and girls by the elevator, with a T-shirt-clad boy’s eyes wide open: “Is this your boyfriend?”
His companions all looked awkward.
“Why can’t I be here?”
Wang Xiaong wrinkled her nose, responding discontentedly: “Sun Baiyun, what nonsense are you talking about, this is my brother, my real brother!”
Cousin is also a real brother, a true family mber.
“I didn’t even know you had a brother.”
The T-shirted youth scratched his head, sowhat embarrassed, and said, “Sorry, I misunderstood. By the way, didn’t you check the class group? Zhang Yung has booked a large private room at Planet KTV on the sixth floor and invited all our classmates to hang out!”
“Tian Tian is already there, you should co too.”
“I didn’t see it.”
Wang Xiaong hesitated for a mont, then shook her head and said, “I need to accompany my brother, so I won’t go. You guys have fun.”
Although Tian Tian was her best friend, Zhang Yung was her nesis, especially with Wang Chen around.
“Oh no!”
The T-shirted youth stubbornly approached her and persuaded, “Wang Xiaong, we’ve been classmates for three years, everyone has graduated now, whatever grudges there were, they’re all in the past. Why hold onto them?”
“Let have Tian Tian talk to you.”
And his companion, who was also Wang Xiaong’s classmate, followed up with persuasion: “Yes, let bygones be bygones, we’re all good friends!”
Wang Xiaong was not a person with a strong resolve, and the collective persuasion made her very hesitant.
Soon her phone rang again.
“Tian Tian?”
“Yeah, I ran into Sun Baiyun and others.”
“Oh dear, I’m with my brother!”
“Then I’ll ask him…”
Standing nearby, Wang Chen heard everything clearly, so without waiting for Wang Xiaong to ask, he directly said, “It’s fine, you go with your classmates. I’ll go watch a movie and co back to pick you up at 9:30. Call if there’s anything.”
The intent of Wang Xiaong’s classmates was to have her brother join them upstairs too.
But what fun would Wang Chen have with a bunch of kids?
Wang Xiaong felt sowhat guilty, feeling it would be rude to just leave Wang Chen behind, but ultimately she couldn’t go against her group of classmates.
Thus, the two temporarily went their separate ways.
Wang Chen wandered alone through Yintai City and then bought a box of tokens in the arcade on the third floor, thoroughly enjoying a variety of gas and even recapturing so of the joy from his younger days.
Having a lot of fun and still many ga tokens left, he went to play the claw machine.
The claw machines in the arcade were devious, with catch probabilities set by the operators. Skilled players could use observation to find opportunities, but ordinary people just had to rely on luck.
Wang Chen had often been tricked by this before and had held a grudge.
But now, an opportunity for revenge had arrived!
Under his control, the claw of the claw machine precisely grabbed one toy after another, hardly ever missing.
Even if the claw was set loose, with the boost of spiritual energy, he could still grab them up.
Wang Chen didn’t just settle for one machine; after grabbing one toy, he would switch machines, quickly accumulating more toys than he could hold in both hands.
Then he went to the front desk to get a big plastic bag and continued grabbing.
He felt very happy.
Although this happiness was sowhat shallow and actually ca from cheating, it was thrilling nonetheless!
Due to his incredible performance, quite a few kids who couldn’t grab a toy gathered around to watch, intermittently letting out childish exclamations and cheers.
With such a crowd supporting him, Wang Chen was generous, deciding to give all the toys he grabbed to them.
Then he had a string of kids following him.
And just as Wang Chen used his last ga token, his phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Wang Xiaong, and her voice was very flustered, “Brother, where are you? Can you co over now, I’m in private room 188 at Planet KTV on the sixth floor!”
Wang Chen’s heart sank, and he imdiately said, “I’ll be right there!”
