Chapter 109: Chapter 109
Ye Ling every time she replied to Wang Ping’s words had to lean half her body out, after doing this several times she got tired, while waiting for Wang Ping to speak again she just responded with "uh-huh," leaving Wang Ping with nothing to say, so he turned his attention to Zhao Guodong, but Zhao Guodong was in a bad mood, not responding to Wang Ping at all.
Zhang Linong kept looking at the book in his hand, Wang Ping also found it dull and quieted down.
Ye Ling sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window all the way, she didn’t initiate a conversation with Zhao Guodong, Zhao Guodong never spoke up but internally he couldn’t calm down, always waiting for Ye Ling to greet him. Yet when they got off at the company and this person followed his father and left, she hadn’t said a word to him.
Zhao Guodong cursed angrily saying "ungrateful," turned his head to see Zhang Linong looking at him, felt embarrassed, and turned his head away without speaking.
Zhang Linong had long noticed these two were having a spat, smiled and said, "If you’re talking about being ungrateful, I’d say you are the ungrateful one. Ye Ling promised to help you get into high school and she did, yet you’re calling her ungrateful? Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black."
"What do you understand? Anyway, she’s just ungrateful," Zhao Guodong replied stubbornly.
Zhang Linong shook his head, "Yesterday after separating from you, Ye Ling argued with Song Mei, this matter started because of you, but Ye Ling didn’t blame you."
"When did this happen?" Zhao Guodong’s voice rose immediately.
Walking ahead, Zhao Liangguo and Zhang Youguo turned their heads simultaneously, Zhao Guodong instantly lost his bravado like a mouse encountering a cat.
"I say let these three kids join us at the company for a few days of training," Wang Lijun spoke up.
Zhao Liangguo and Zhang Youguo liked the suggestion, nodded, called over the officer beside them, and took the three to arrange accommodation, then see what training they could join.
Zhao Guodong glared at Wang Ping, Wang Ping helplessly said, "You’re the one who shouted loudly, they decided because of that, how can you blame me."
Zhao Guodong understood, didn’t bother with him, continued to press Zhang Linong about what he knew, Zhang Linong repeated what he knew, when Zhao Guodong heard Song Mei say he and Ye Ling were a young couple, he blushed red.
"You’re not a real couple, what’s there to be embarrassed about." Wang Ping muttered, looking at Zhao Guodong’s tomato-red face.
"What do you know, go away," Zhao Guodong threw his bag into Wang Ping’s arms, face still red, and asked Zhang Linong, "Was Ye Ling really angry at the time?"
Zhang Linong nodded and added, "She was just short of hitting someone."
Zhao Guodong showed disappointment, "Does she really dislike me that much?"
Zhang Linong raised his eyebrows, "Haven’t you always liked Ye Qian? When did you start liking Ye Ling?"
Asked without any face left.
Zhao Guodong shouted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking? I’ve always liked Ye Qian, okay? Who likes Ye Ling? Wang Ping’s the one with silly thoughts, why are you following him, don’t say random things here, you also know how fierce she is, who would dare want her besides I like quiet types anyway."
"Ye Qian," Wang Ping interjected.
Zhao Guodong didn’t glare at him this time, nodded vigorously as if to prove himself, "Yes, yes, it’s Ye Qian."
Zhang Linong shook his head slightly, smiled, "Ye Ling, do you also live around here?"
As his words fell, Zhao Guodong’s face suddenly froze.
When he turned back, his entire body seemed stiff.
Ye Ling, smiling, looked at the three of them, "Weren’t you walking ahead? You’re not walking fast."
Facing Zhao Guodong and Wang Ping’s gaze, Ye Ling looked the same as usual, this person obviously stood there, so how could she not have heard Zhao Guodong’s words? Yet she didn’t ask or say anything more, as if she heard nothing, making Zhao Guodong even more uneasy.
Zhang Linong laughed, "Isn’t this because we were chatting? Just now Uncle Wang said he wanted us to join the training too, would you like to experience it?"
Ye Ling had already walked to the front of the group, continuing forward, "I’m not going, can’t handle that hardship."
Zhang Linong followed, "Seeing you so thin, working out wouldn’t be bad."
"Spare me this time." Ye Ling pleaded.
Zhang Linong also chuckled.
Behind, Zhao Guodong and Wang Ping followed silently, they distanced from the front two, Wang Ping worriedly asked Zhao Guodong, "Will Ye Ling be angry after listening?"
"No," Zhao Guodong was much quieter now.
Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "I also think she won’t be angry, if she liked you she might be angry, not liking you she won’t care what you say of course."
Wang Ping talked to himself and didn’t realize Zhao Guodong was already glaring at him, continued talking, "Actually I’m not worried about Ye Ling getting angry, it’s just the midterm exams rely entirely on her. She hasn’t been doing well at home, always felt should take care of her since, though you don’t like her, but like her sister, you know her mom favors her sister, yet she helped you with the exams, now hearing what you said, how can she be happy?"
"Ouch, why did you kick me?" Wang Ping shouted, jumped forward, and rubbed his butt while glaring at Zhao Guodong.
Zhao Guodong glared, "Who told you to be so talkative."
Wang Ping muttered, "I’m trying to help you analyze it."
"No need." Zhao Guodong replied fiercely, gritting his teeth, he strode after Zhang Linong and Ye Ling.
Wang Ping didn’t understand why he was angry again, wasn’t anything said was bad, didn’t like meant didn’t like, what’s the big deal.
Wang Ping couldn’t figure out Zhao Guodong’s problem, but his feet didn’t stop, he chased after them quickly.
At the front Zhao Guodong caught up, seeing Zhang Linong and Ye Ling chatting merrily, he couldn’t cut in, so he stayed behind watching Ye Ling’s profile closely, seeing her not upset, feeling silently upset himself, then thought, this country bumpkin has no heart, why worry about her being unhappy, besides liking her sister but treating her like a buddy, what’s there to worry about her displeasure.
Zhao Guodong opened his eyes but still felt uncomfortable, even when reaching the accommodation he still pondered it.
Zhang Linong glanced at him, a smile played on his lips, this blockhead hadn’t realized yet, clearly hard days were ahead, although Ye Ling wasn’t mad, given Ye Ling and Ye Qian’s relationship, Zhao Guodong really offended Ye Ling this time, he’ll pay for it later, even though interaction with Ye Ling wasn’t long, he knew she held grudges.
