Chapter 130: Chapter 130 A Woman

Ever since the eldest of the Meng Family, Meng Fan, died in combat at the Southern Border Battlefield, Meng Ping, known as the Demon Lord of Mayhem, had met his match. His own father never disciplined him, but every time it was Living Yama who beat him to the point where he dared not even speak his anger aloud.

That man was entrusted to him by his dying brother, what could he do?

In the courtyard, the real leader was still Meng Fan. Everyone in his generation would call him Brother Meng, hence Meng Ping got the nickname Brother Xiao Meng.

Regrettably, he passed away too early. Otherwise, the Meng Family could have progressed even further.

“A woman.” The thought of Sheng Ning brought both love and hate to Meng Ping. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and also the one with the most guts.

The bruises on his body, meticulously measured by Xu Qigang, only doubled in pain because of Sheng Ning’s slap.

...

With a fierce grin, Meng Ping clenched his teeth—he just couldn’t believe he couldn’t deal with her.

“Brother Xiao Meng, let’s not just stand here being silly, let’s quickly go and have a drink.”

“You go if you want, I don’t have time,” Meng Ping snapped as he commandeered the little fat man’s bicycle.

A Phoenix brand with a large crossbar. Apart from the union’s special vehicles, this was considered the most fashionable among ordinary people. Of course, although their group did not engage in proper professions, they at least came from the courtyard and thus possessed taste, knowledge, and demeanor beyond the common folk.

With long legs, Meng Ping easily mounted the bicycle.

“Hey…where are you going?” the little fat man grabbed hold of him, “Brother, please don’t! I borrowed this from a colleague at the factory.”

“How can you be so stingy, little fat man? Brother Xiao Meng needs your bike, and you still make such a fuss,” the group teased him with laughter.

The little fat man made a sour face, “This is the third one this month, people in our factory already avoid me when they see me.”

“Psh! Who in your factory avoids you!”

Unable to leave because the little fat man was holding him back, Meng Ping said impatiently with a straight face, “Enough! It’s just an old bike; tomorrow, big brother will get you a Red Flag.”

“Really?” The little fat man’s eyes, large as mung beans, lit up with excitement. Meng Ping might be idle, but in terms of doing things and dealing with people, he was no worse than his brother—it was even said by the old man at home. Meng Ping wasn’t someone who could be contained; someday he was bound to soar to great heights.

“Bugger off, you think you can exchange my Red Flag for your rickety bike, are you dumb or am I?” Meng Ping scolded with a laugh, pushing the little fat man away and getting ready to ride off when an open-top jeep suddenly stopped in front of him, with Su Hai smiling at him, his cheap nephew.

“Let’s go!”

“Uncle Su!”

“Uncle Su, how come you have time to come over?”

“Picking up my nephew,” Su Hai answered with a resounding tone.

Meng Ping’s mouth twitched, reluctant to interact with this cheapskate of an uncle. But fearing that the old man at home would literally pass out from anger, he obediently returned the bicycle to the little fat man and got into the car.

“Guys, see you next time.”

On the way back, Meng Ping’s expression was sour, he turned to look out the car window, ignoring Su Hai. But Su Hai kept on smiling.

“President Meng asked me to pick you up along the way, I won’t go inside once I drop you at the courtyard.”

“I’m not going in either.”

Su Hai laughed at that, Meng Family now had only this good-for-nothing left, no wonder everyone was turning their hair white with worry.

“How long has it been since you’ve gone home?” Su Hai raised his eyebrows, a hint of anger in his eyes.

“Uncle, you must be really bored, huh? You’d be better off paying more attention to your sister than me.” Meng Ping was the nastiest, never showing mercy with his words, always aiming for the soft spots.

Su Yun had returned from being sent down to the countryside as an educated youth and went straight to marry Meng Xingzhi, who had lost his wife. The two families, being old friends, gave their unanimous approval amidst a chorus of harmony, except for Su Hai who was the fiercest in opposition.
