Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Master of Ingenuity
"Finally gone," Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Chen Bin and the others leave.
She had really been worried about how to bring things to a close with Chen Bin being so aggressive.
Seeing her relieved expression, Yang Fei couldn’t help but tease her with a laugh, "The kid might be a bit arrogant, but he’s handso and cos from a good family. You really don’t fancy him?"
Yang Wen chided, "Brother, why are you talking nonsense? Although I’m from a small place, I’m still quite good at judging people. A rich second generation like Chen Bin wouldn’t be serious about ."
Yang Fei looked at her approvingly and laughed, "How much allowance does the family give you each month?"
It was only then that Yang Wen rembered how she must look. With her face flushed, she placed the rag and basin on the table and explained, "Big brother, you must keep this a secret for . I don’t want to worry the family."
Yang Fei frowned, "How can that be? You’re the only university student in the Yang family. Your job now is to focus on your studies. How can you be doing these kinds of things?"
Biting her lip, Yang Wen said, "Brother, do you think less of ?"
Yang Fei was taken aback and then returned to his senses, saying sympathetically, "Silly girl, how could your brother think less of you? Making money with your own hands is nothing to be ashad of, I couldn’t be prouder."
"Really?" Yang Wen looked at her big brother.
Yang Fei nodded earnestly, then, changing the subject, he said, "Brother hasn’t had dinner yet."
Yang Wen quickly said, "Wait here, I’ll go buy sothing for you."
Soon enough, she ca over with a dinner that had both at and vegetables.
Yang Fei asked, "Have you eaten?"
Yang Wen nodded, "I help clean the cafeteria, so I always eat earlier."
"Brother, don’t tell the family about my work-study program at school. Actually, the family gives
a thousand yuan each month, which is enough." Yang Wen sat across from Yang Fei and said anxiously.
Yang Fei frowned, "With the high cost of living in Binhai, a thousand yuan is too little. You’re a girl and there are many things you need to spend money on."
"It’s really enough. My room and board are covered by the school, and I hardly ever go out," said Yang Wen.
Yang Fei shook his head, "Silly girl, I know you’re thrifty and don’t want to be too much of a burden on your uncle and aunt. Is it because I spent too much on my engagent last year that you think the family’s burdens are too big?"
Yang Wen’s eyes reddened, "Mom working in the fields and dad earning money alone as a bricklayer is not easy. I... I can earn a bit of money now. But don’t worry, brother, it’s not affecting my studies. I’m sure I’ll get a scholarship."
Yang Fei felt a pang of heartache.
The children of poor families matured early; the girl was too sensible.
But now that he was back, he wouldn’t let her suffer anymore.
He took out his phone and transferred fifty thousand yuan to Yang Wen directly.
They had added each other on WeChat after a phone call between siblings before.
Seeing her big brother transfer her so much money, Yang Wen’s eyes went wide with shock, "Brother, why... why are you giving
so much..."
Yang Fei said with a smile, "This is one month’s pocket money. You’re the only girl in the Yang family, how could we let you suffer anymore? Rest assured, your brother is really well off now, I’ll cover your living expenses from now on."
Yang Wen was still in a state of shock.
She had never had so much money at her disposal before.
"Binhai is nothing like our small county town. Since you’ve managed to get out, you’re bound to stay in the big city in the future; you have to get used to the expenses of the big city beforehand. Also, once you’re in university, it’s like being in a small society; you need to make friends at school. Don’t be isolated, or else life will lack a lot of fun," Yang Fei instructed patiently.
Yang Wen humd in acknowledgnt and said, "I know all these things. But I can’t take your money... you... you’re the eldest brother, and the second brother is already engaged. You haven’t even taken a wife yet."
Yang Fei laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, silly girl, your brother is really capable nowadays; I got married a while ago."
"What?"
Yang Wen’s focus shifted, looking at Yang Fei both surprised and curious, she asked, "You’re married?"
Seeing Yang Wen’s skeptical look, Yang Fei was left speechless. "What, in your eyes, can’t big brother even find a wife?"
Yang Wen coughed dryly, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
She was well aware of how difficult it was for n these days to find a wife.
Although big brother was decent-looking, his humble origins probably ant that city girls would look down on him.
He said he was married, which ant he was either lying or he had found the kind of factory girl who had dropped out of school early to work in far-flung areas.
Regardless, she was still happy for her big brother for finding a wife.
The siblings chatted, recalling the happy mories of their childhood, and the initially sowhat strained relationship quickly ward.
After eating, Yang Fei helped Yang Wen clean up the cafeteria.
Once they finished, Yang Wen took him on a tour of the campus, showing him where she studied and lived.
After the tour, as they reached the campus gate, Yang Wen said, "Then discuss it with sister-in-law, and let’s et up next ti."
Yang Fei thought for a mont and nodded, "Okay, I’ll ask her. We’ll et when she has ti."
He and Qin Yanyang were married, but there was still so unfamiliarity between them; he had to ask her in advance to see if she was willing to et with Yang Wen.
Yang Wen couldn’t help laughing when she heard her big brother speak so seriously, "You make it sound like sister-in-law is so big shot, and very busy."
Thinking of Qin Yanyang’s status as a professor, Yang Fei couldn’t help but smile at Yang Wen, "Well, she really is a big shot. You’ll understand when you et her."
They were at the sa university; even if Qin Yanyang wasn’t Yang Wen’s teacher, such a beautiful and outstanding professor was sure to be famous at the school. If Yang Wen t her, she would probably be astonished.
"Alright, you should head back to the dorm. I’m leaving now. Call
if you need anything," Yang Fei waved to her.
Yang Wen nodded and turned to walk back into the campus.
Yang Fei watched her leave; the smile on his face slowly faded, and a trace of fierceness crossed his brow.
He had been worried that Chen Bin would continue to pester his cousin, thinking about how to warn the guy, but he hadn’t expected him to be so brazen, already having people watch him outside the school.
He strode towards the campus gate.
Outside the gate of Binhai University, next to the street, Chen Bin sat in a black rcedes-Benz van, smoking and squinting his eyes, "Brother Pan, that’s the kid. Give him a harsh lesson for . I want him to know what happens when you defy Chen Bin."
Opposite Chen Bin, a man in his thirties with a small goatee looked in the direction pointed by Chen Bin. His eyes fell on a young man’s face and he visibly paused.
Damn, what are the chances?
His na was Zhou Pan, one of Chen Hongbo’s trusted lieutenants.
After receiving orders from Chen Hongbo last night, he had secretly been gathering information and keeping an eye on Yang Fei.
He was ready to take action today, but an hour ago he got a call from the young master, asking for his help to deal with soone.
Zhou Pan was about to refuse, as he had a big job planned for tonight and had no ti for child’s play.
But Chen Bin said that the person was at Binhai University.
Zhou Pan had already been watching Yang Fei; thinking that dealing with a young punk would be a sideshow, he worried that refusing would risk offend this young master.
So, he joined up with Chen Bin, waiting outside the school gate.
What he never expected was that the target his boss and the young master wanted to deal with was the sa person.
Zhou Pan flicked the cigarette out of his mouth and laughed, "It’s like Qiaoqiao’s mom opening the door just for Qiaoqiao, couldn’t be more perfect."
"Brother Pan, has the kid spotted us? He’s coming this way," Chen Bin suddenly said.
