Chapter 134: Will You Die if You Stop Bragging?!
After leaving the milk teashop satisfied, Wang Haoran was ready to go back to school.
But at that moment…
Screech!
A police car abruptly stopped near the gate.
A valiant, heroic-looking beauty then stepped out of the opened car door.
Besides Ling Duanya, who else could it be?
“Fancy meeting you here, I was actually trying to find you.” She smiled at Wang Haoran.
“Trying to find me? I don’t seem to have done anything wrong recently…” Wang Haoran teased.
“Didn’t you make a report call before? Because of your call, we’ve managed to successfully arrest a large group of criminals.” Rolling her eyes, Ling Duanya decided to cut to the chase, taking out a rectangular bundle wrapped in yellow paper from the car.
“This is the reward for reporting, a total of 50,000, which you deserve.”
“Wow, there was a reward?” Wang Haoran happily accepted it.
“Hum. By the way, we also plan to conduct an interview with you on the joint TV station, setting a public example for the masses. Are you willing to appear on air?”
“Forget it; I don’t want to be famous.” Wang Haoran shook his head without hesitance.
“Alright, I won’t force the matter since you don’t want to.”
“Thanks. And how’s your leg?”
Wang Haoran suddenly seemed to recall something, and looked towards Ling Duanya’s long legs.
He had already given Ling Duanya the prepared medicinal materials some time ago. He wondered if she had used it according to his instruction.
“I feel much better after taking the medicine. Speaking of this, I really have to repay you for your kindness. When you and I are both free, I will surely invite you to dinner!” Ling Duanya raised her hands and clapped Wang Haoran’s shoulders in a carefree manner.
“I’ll be waiting.”
Ling Duanya quickly checked her watch, before speaking in a hurry, “I still have something to do, so I’ll go first.” The policewoman then smiled heartily, returned to her car, and sped off.
As soon as Ling Duanya had left, Tang Bingyun walked over from the opposite road, waist twisting in slight annoyance.
“Aunt Tang, why are you here?”
Wang Haoran pretended as if nothing had happened.
“I’m strolling outside since I have nothing to do in the afternoon, and I happened to see you when passing by, so I came over to say hello.” Tang Bingyun spoke indifferently.
In actuality, she didn’t plan to meet Wang Haoran at all. However, upon secretly witnessing the two beautiful women chatting and laughing with Wang Haoran…
‘This naughty kid is surrounded by so many girls all day long.’
‘If I don’t brush my face in front of him once or twice, he might even end up forgetting about me.’
Thinking of this, Tang Bingyun couldn’t hold back her thoughts, and thus walked over.
“When I woke up in bed that day, my head was spinning, and my body felt rather uncomfortable… What happened to me?” Wang Haoran took this chance and cheekily asked.
Tang Bingyun’s eyes flashed with a panicked light, but she quickly covered it up.
“Humph! You still have the guts to talk about that? Your alcohol intake is really bad, getting drunk from just a single cup of red wine. You couldn’t even wake up! And there’s no way I could let you sleep at the table, right? I could only move you from the 1st-floor restaurant all the way up to the 2nd-floor rooms myself. I almost broke my waist, you know?”
Tang Bingyun babbled on with resentment.
This was actually a half-truth.
But Tang Bingyun felt that it should be enough to pull the wool over Wang Haoran’s eyes for a while.
“Ah, so that’s how it is…”
Wang Haoran pretended to be a fool, and asked again:
“Why were the sheets missing then?”
“Weren’t you drunk at the time? You vomited on the sheets, and I threw them away into the trash afterwards.” Tang Bingyun steadily explained.
Wang Haoran made an “Oh!” sound, indicating that he now understood and had no doubts.
However, in reality, he had already guessed right about the majority of the situation.
He couldn’t get drunk at all, so how could he possibly have vomited on the sheets?
Having said that, Tang Bingyun taking away the sheets because they were dirty should be true.

[At night]
Su Lang, who was in a very joyful mood, soon returned to the apartment.
The house was dark and empty.
It seemed like Yang Jingwan’s family had not returned yet.
But the God of War wasn’t in a hurry. He simply sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, waiting for the entire family to come back.
Ma Hongsheng had already woken up.
And although he was still lying in the hospital in a convalescence period, his consciousness had been deemed completely lucid, making him officially recover from his coma.
Thus, Su Lang managed to acquire a few contacts from Ma Hongsheng.
The engineering projects easily became a wrap.
Su Lang planned to give everyone a big surprise when Yang Jingwan and the others returned home.

“Jingwan ah, you see, I was right! I already told you that you should’ve asked earlier! Now, we can get the project done, and you haven’t even been taken advantage of.” Li Manli was feeling upbeat.
“I was surprised too. I thought he would demand something of me.” Yang Jingwan echoed happily.
“In my opinion, Young Master Wang is not the usual type of rich second generation who only cares about dirty things. He really is interested in you. That’s why he’s being this polite! You should seize this opportunity and get along with Young Master Wang.”
“You might have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family in the future if all goes well; this is a great thing. Both your dad and I will be able to enjoy happiness with you!”
Li Manli’s words were full of daydreamt longing.
“Mom, don’t talk nonsense. How can someone like me, who is already married once, can marry into a wealthy family?” Yang Jingwan whispered in a depressed tone.
“Although it’s a second marriage, you and Su Lang are only husband and wife in name, and there is no real relationship there. Why can’t you marry into a wealthy family?” Li Manli still felt optimistic.
She was a typical idealist.
On the contrary, Yang Jingwan was a realist.
In her opinion, marriages of wealthy families were all about prestige, and exchanging profit.
What Li Manli hoped to pass was strictly impossible.
And more importantly, Yang Jingwan didn’t think of Wang Haoran in that way. She did indeed think that he was rather handsome, but it wasn’t to the level of like or love between men and women, or even the level of a crush.
“Today is a great day, yet you mother and daughter are arguing so much. Let’s just add a few more dishes to our dinner to celebrate this achievement.” Yang Tai acted as the mediator.
While talking, the family arrived outside the apartment.
“I’ve settled the issue with the engineering project.”
Seeing the return of Yang Jingwan’s family, Su Lang flatly revealed his success.
Just waiting for the shock and surprise to hit.
But unfortunately…
“Tch! You’re still sitting there doing nothing? Look at what time it is now! Hurry up and cook, and remember to add a few more dishes.” Li Manli put away her smile, sneering maliciously at Su Lang.
“You don’t do business all day long, and now you won’t cook dinner, don’t you want to stay in this house anymore?” Yang Tai also followed up with an irritated bellow.
“I have no work? I just went and visited Ma Hongsheng today; your problem with the engineering project has long been solved by me.” Su Lang slightly raised his voice and emphasized.
“Talking nonsense all day, will you die if you stop bragging or something?!” Li Manli was riled up.
“I’m not bragging. If you don’t believe the facts, I can make a phone call.” Su Lang then took out an old phone worth a few hundred yuan.
“Keep pretending, just keep pretending!” Li Manli’s face was full of disdain.
“You should just be obediently cooking. We don’t need your help with any project. I’ve received a project already, and if I can complete it, I can earn at least 10 million yuan.” Yang Tai said proudly.
“Dad, where did you get such a big project?” Su Lang suspiciously asked.
“Huh? What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me? Why can’t I get a big project?”
Yang Tai didn’t want to tell Su Lang that Yang Jingwan asked a rich second-generation young master, so he lied and told him that he found the project himself.
However, upon seeing Su Lang’s doubtful expression, Yang Tai felt as if he was being underestimated by this useless househusband, and became very upset.
