MPLB-21.2 Why Do You Pester Me

_____

---

Hepeng had already driven the car out of the hall.

As Zhan got on the car, his mobile phone rang. Yangzi?

“Zhan, do you have a minute? I have something to do with you,” As soon as the phone was connected, Yangzi’s gentle voice came over.

Compared to her enthusiasm, Zhan looked very cold, “Sorry. I have a class. I have no time.”

“What time do you finish class? I’ll come to see you.”

“After class, I still have a lot of things to do. I’m very busy during this period. If you have anything to say, you can say it on the phone now.”

What else could Yangzi do to find him? She was either trying to frame him up or get something out of him.

Zhan had already seen through this woman.

“Yangzi, if you don’t have anything to say, I’ll hang up first. I have to read a book.”

“Zhan, don’t you care about your mother’s affairs?” Yangzi said with a smile.

Mom…

Zhan, who was about to hang up, was stunned.

His fingers tightened subconsciously, “What do you want to say?”

“I want to tell you something about your mother. But you seem to be very busy.”

“Twelve thirty at noon, Island Coffee.”

Zhan hung up. But looking at the gradually darkened mobile phone screen, he fell into deep thought.

He didn’t know much about his mother.

His mother wasn’t at home for a long time. Xiuqing said that she was dead, but no one knew where she was buried.

For so many years, Zhan had never seriously worshipped his mother.

But if his mother didn’t die, why didn’t she come back to see his son for more than ten years?

What did Yangzi know?

***

Less than 12:30, Yangzi’s graceful figure appeared in Island Coffee and she sat by the window.

Holding her cell phone, she was looking at the street outside.

On the other side of the street was Beijing University.

The school gate was facing this side.

As long as Zhan came out, Yangzi could see him.

Sure enough, Zhan’s slender figure appeared at the gate soon.

“Sir, I have an appointment with him now. But he will certainly ask me about his mother later. I don’t have much information.”

“I’ve investigated her last night, and I’ll send you the information. You just need to get his blood sample.”

“Well, I see.”

Yangzi hung up and received the message from the man as expected.

“Why is that so?”

Yangzi was shocked. It had only a little information.

Crystal, a woman who seemed to have no family, used to work in a bar, and then was with Xiuqing.

A few years later, she took her son back to Xiuqing.

Of course, Xiuqing did paternity testing with her son. With Xiuqing’s personality, he would not raise children for others.

But Crystal just lived in the Xiao family for more than a year, and then was forced away by Huting.

It was said that she died outside, and Xiuqing did not go to find her.

Anyway, she was just a woman. Xiuqing did not care that she had gone.

After this, Zhan was left at the Xiao family, and Crystal had never appeared again.

No one knew where Crystal came from.

Even sir could not find out.

As for Old Madam Wang’s previous investigation into this matter, the private detective disappeared after he went abroad.

No one knew what Old Madam asked the private detective to investigate.

Seeing Zhan walking into the gate of Island Coffee, Yangzi turned her special ring and waved to her.

Zhan walked up to her expressionless and sat down opposite her, “What do you want?”

“What’s the hurry? We haven’t eaten yet.”

Yangzi waved and called the waiter, “Two medium-done filet mignon. Thank you.”

After the waiter left, Zhan stared at Yangzi’s smiling face once again, “What do you want to say?”

“Are you and Young Master Wang OK? Is he good to you? Have you had sex with him?”

Zhan’s face sank and he was about to stand up.

Yangzi said with a smile, “your mother Crystal used to be a prostitute. She was not a daughter of an eminent family you have thought.”

Zhan clenched his hands and calmed down. Then, he just sat down again.

Since his mother had been dead, it didn’t matter whether she was a daughter of an eminent family or a prostitute.

“If you just want to say that to humiliate me, I don’t have time to listen to you anymore.”

“Do you believe that she really died outside?”

Zhan’s hands suddenly tightened, “Yangzi, if you want to say it, just say it. If you don’t want to say it, don’t jerk me!”

Did Yangzi know anything? Was his mother really alive?

“I have a lot to say. But I also want to listen to you first. Why don’t you want to say it?”

The smile on Yangzi’s face was elegant and charming in the eyes of others.

But in Zhan’s eyes, it was synonym of malice and hypocrisy.

“What do you want me to say?” He knew that if he wanted to get something from Yangzi, he had to pay first.

Yangzi said with a smile, “Didn’t I asked you a question just now? Why don’t you answer me? Have you had sex with Young Master Wang?”

“Is he really willing to touch you? Was it you who seduced him on your own initiative? How many times has he had sex with you? How about his sexual ability?”

Zhan did not expect that Yangzi, who seemed to be very gentle at ordinary times, would ask such a dirty question.

Although Zhan clearly knew that Yangzi was hypocritical, but at least she still had some self-restraint.

Now, he had lost his temperament because of these questions.

It was so… disgusting,

“How about it? You don’t want to say it, do you? Then you can’t hear from me the reason why your mother left the Xiao family.”

Yangzi was not worried that Zhan would leave now. From Zhan’s expression, Yangzi had learned how to control him.

Zhan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Then he said expressionless, “Yes, we have had sex more than once. He has a strong ability and makes me happy.”

“Shame on you!” Yangzi’s face sank in an instant. She was so angry that she wanted to take up the glass and pour the water on him forcefully.

“Isn’t Miss Yangzi ashamed to ask me such questions all the time?”

Zhan had no expression on his face. After restraining his shyness, he could control his emotions.

He would not lose his reason because of Yangzi’s provocation.

“I have answered your questions. Can you tell me why my mother left the Xiao family?”

“Didn’t Xiuqing tell you?”

The waiter brought the steak over, and Yangzi just calmed down a little.

Originally, she just wanted to humiliate Zhan. But she didn’t expect that she would lose her cool completely because of Zhan’s few words.

After the waiter left, Yangzi was playing with the ring on her ring finger while staring at Zhan and smiling.

“Your mother was forced to leave the Xiao family by my mother.”

Saying this kind of words, Yangzi did not have the slightest apology and even took the attitude of a winner.

Zhan still didn’t speak, Even though he was pinching his palm and almost hurt himself,

Zhan still showed no concern.

“Is it?” Zhan smiled and cut the steak.

“So, what do you want by inviting me to dinner today?”

“Aren’t you sad? Your mother was forced away by my mother. After she was forced to leave, she had a hard time outside. Do you not feel distressed?”

“What does it have to do with you whether I feel distressed or not?”

Anyway, Yangzi had ordered a meal, so Zhan could only eat it first. After all, he could save money for a meal, right?

The purpose that Yangzi asked him to come out would not be simply to say a few words which made him feel unwell.

What was strange was that Yangzi had not let out any flaws until now, Zhan could not guess what she wanted to do.

“Well, you don’t want to talk about your mother. So, let’s change the subject.”

Yangzi suddenly reached out and took the mushroom sauce to Zhan.

“The mushroom sauce here is delicious. Try it.”

Before Zhan could refuse, Yangzi poured the mushroom sauce on Zhan’s steak.

When she put down the mushroom sauce, she suddenly waved and pressed her hand on the back of Zhan’s hand by accident.

Zhan frowned and took his hand back.

“Sorry, I am a little dizzy” Yangzi murmured.

But she resented Zhan a little more. This Zhan was so far away from her that she couldn’t touch him!

Yangzi thought that it should be very easy to take Zhan’s blood sample.

She just needed to talk to Zhan and distract his attention. Then she could pretend to bump into him by accident and prick him with a fine needle on her ring.

But she didn’t expect that she could not get close to Zhan at all.

In order not to arouse Zhan’s suspicion, Yangzi lowered her head to eat steak and looked for some boring topics.

“I heard that the elder sister will finish the overseas projects ahead of time and come back early.” Yangzi said.

Zhan was stunned.

The elder sister was not bad, but Zhan was stupid in his previous life. He was often used by Yangzi to frame the elder sister up in front of Xiuqing.

The elder sister was not Huting’s daughter. She had been targeted by Huting and Yangzi in the Xiao family.

Yangzi said again, “You used to have a bad relationship with elder sister. This time, you can’t make her angry again after she comes back.”

“Don’t worry. Without your sowing discord, elder sister and I will get along very well.”

Zhan still ate the steak attentively, as if he was not interested in any topic, Yangzi said.

He only wanted to finish quickly and left.

If it was not for getting Zhan’s blood sample, Yangzi had already left. Why should she stay to be bullied by this ugly boy?

“Anyway, the elder sister will come back. You should get along well with her.”

Yangzi really couldn’t find a topic to distract his attention. Zhan was not interested in any topic!

“I’ll get some drinks.” Yangzi stood up.

Zhan felt something was wrong.

What was Yangzi thinking?

Unexpectedly, when Yangzi walked by Zhan’s side, she sprained her foot and rushed straight to Zhan.

Zhan, who had been on guard for a long time, suddenly stood up and dodged from the other side of the chair.

Seeing Yangzi fall on his chair, Zhan said in a deep voice, “Yangzi, what exactly do you want?”

Did she want to attack him in public?

How dared she? This woman was getting bolder and her actions were also getting more and more impudent!

“Unbelievable!” Saying this, Zhan did not look at her again and walked quickly to the door.

“Zhan, wait!” Yangzi was so anxious that she immediately caught up with Zhan.

But the waiter came quickly and stopped her, “Miss, you haven’t checked out yet.”

“Can’t I afford it?” This was the first time Yangzi was stopped by a waiter for fear that she would dine and dash.

She threw a few bank notes to the waiter, and immediately ran out.

However, there were so many people on the street that Zhan had already disappeared.

Damn! Wasn’t it easy to get some blood samples? Why couldn’t she do such a small thing well?

She didn’t know why Zhan was so defensive to her!

It should be easy for her to stab Zhan with a ring as she fell to him just now. Why could she fail!

Could it be that Zhan had seen through her minds?

How could she tell sir about this?

….In fact, Zhan did not see through anything. But he did see that Yangzi harbored evil intention.

But he couldn’t understand it at all. Even if Yangzi wanted to attack him, she shouldn’t choose a café with so many people.

Yangzi was not so stupid.

So, what exactly did she want?

“Oh–” Thinking too much, Zhan didn’t see the way ahead clearly and bumped into a warm chest.

“Sorry…” Zhan covered his nose which was hurt and retreated in a hurry.

But because he retreated too fast, he stumbled over something. Then, he was unstable and fell behind him.

“Be careful.” The man reached out and helped him.

“Thank you.” Zhan finally stood firm and looked up at him.

The next second, his eyes were immediately filled with defense.

“It’s you. You… Hiss.”

The back of his hand hurt. Zhan raised his hand and found that there was a bloody wound.

Although the wound was not big, it still hurt.

YangYang’s sight fell on the back of his hand. He winced gently with good-looking eyebrows, “Do I hurt you? Sorry!”

“It is me who accidentally touch your button.”

As soon as Zhan looked at YangYang’s shirt, he knew it was very expensive. Every button was carefully carved out.

YangYang also looked at his button and was a little helpless, “It seems that the next time I can’t wear this kind of clothes. It will become a sharp weapon to hurt people.”

He took out the tissue and held Zhan’s hand to wipe the blood on the back of his hand.

Zhan immediately took his hand back. He was still on guard against him.

YangYang said with a smile, “At least, I didn’t hide the fact that I knew your fiancé, right?”

This was true.

In fact, Zhan didn’t know why he was on guard against him. After all, YangYang didn’t do anything.

“You can treat me as an ordinary person. I hurt you. So, I want to treat you to dinner, okay?”

“No. I’ve already had a meal.” Zhan still refused.

“Well, you dirtied my button. You offer me a meal to make amends, okay?” YangYang changed his words.

“Why do you have to eat with me?” Zhan looked at the button on his shirt. He did leave his blood on the button.

“Nothing. I just want to have dinner with you.”

“But I don’t want to.”

“Then, I’ll still find a chance to have dinner with you until you accept.”

“You…” Zhan glared at him. He had never seen such a thick-skinned person.

YangYang smiled softly.

It has to say that YangYang was very handsome.

But as long as Zhan thought of that he and Yibo knew each other, he didn’t want to see him more even if he looked handsome.

“Come on, I’m hungry.” YangYang crossed him and walked in front of him.

The used tissue was thrown into the trash can at the side.

Zhan was not willing to go with him, he still stood where he was and did not move.

“Class 1801 of the design department of Beijing University, right? If you don’t agree to have dinner with me now, I’ll go straight to your school to see you next time.”

“You…” This psychopath!

But YangYang smiled and looked back at him.

The light smile was so amazing that it made the surrounding scenery lose color instantly.

All the girls who passed by were staring at him and were attracted. (These all girls are readers who are reading it now.)

Zhan couldn’t understand why this man insisted on pestering him.

“I’m really hungry. I have a bad stomach. If I don’t eat on time, I will have stomach ache. Can you have a meal with me?”

He was so humble to make a request. It was just like a man begging for his boyfriend.

Passing girls all glared at Zhan. Seeing that he was so cold and heartless, they all wanted to kick Zhan away and took this super handsome guy with stomach trouble to dinner.

The man had said that if he didn’t eat on time, his stomach would feel bad.

How could his boyfriend be so indifferent?

Zhan closed his eyes and took a deep breath to not be in a sulk.

Staring at YangYang, Zhan said coldly, “My time is limited.”

“Don’t worry. It’s just a meal.” YangYang smiled.

The girls were crazy again.

How could there be such a good-looking man? How could there be such a good-looking smile?

As soon as he smiled, the flowers around him seemed to be about to bloom.

As he smiled again, even the sky had become particularly clear.

The blue sky and white clouds were beautiful beyond words!

This man was really very very handsome!

They walked into a nearby restaurant which was selected by Zhan.

After walking in, YangYang’s smile disappeared.

The restaurant was so small that there was no box.

Zhan was in a better mood when YangYang did not smile.

“I like the food of this restaurant. If you don’t like it, let’s go. You can go to another place to have a meal by yourself, OK?”

YangYang looked at him. This boy intentionally chose this place.

He said faintly, “it’s OK. I haven’t eaten in this kind of restaurant. It’s OK to try it.”

“However, it is very likely that we will share tables with others. The bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs may not be very clean.”

“Since it’s not clean, why do you still eat here?” YangYang frowned.

Thinking of greasy things, YangYang felt the stomach unwell.

“I don’t care. I’m used to it. I’m just afraid that your clothes, which are all famous brands, will be dirtied by oil. Then, you will lose hundreds of thousands.”

Zhan’s words were originally meant to satirize YangYang.

Unexpectedly, when people around them heard that the clothes YangYang was wearing were worth hundreds of thousands, they moved aside one after another, fearing that they might dirty his clothes.

The restaurant owner was also scared, and quickly wiped the oil on his hands with a towel.

Looking around, the restaurant owner found that the customer of one table had finished eating and left. So, he hurried to carefully clean up that table.

“Sir, can you sit here?” The restaurant owner asked carefully.

YangYang still frowned.

Zhan had already sat down by the table and looked at him, “How about it? Do you want to eat? If you don’t eat, let’s go.”

“Why not?” YangYang walked past, but his eyes were fixed on the table top.

Although the restaurant owner had just wiped it carefully, he still felt that the table top was still greasy…

And the chair, which was greasy….

“The chair is not dirty. Really It’s just a little old.”

The restaurant owner came over, wiped the chair with his hand, and spread out his hand to show YangYang.

“You see, sir, the chair is really not dirty.”

Seeing that the restaurant owner was so cautious, Zhan felt a little sorry.

After thinking about it, he was about to tell YangYang that they could change the place to not embarrass the restaurant owner.

Unexpectedly, YangYang had already sat down and looked at him and said, “I’m not familiar here. Please order.”

Zhan looked at him, and then at the restaurant owner.

The restaurant owner was still standing on the side, fearing that he did not serve them well.

This kind of small restaurant couldn’t afford to offend such rich customers.

“Hey, please serve some of your specialty dishes as soon as possible.”

Anyway, Zhan was not full just now. After eating two mouthfuls of steak, he did not feel like eating because of Yangzi.

Now, he was hungry, too.

“OK. Please wait a minute.” The restaurant owner went to prepare the food immediately.

Zhan looked at YangYang. “Can you tell me why you keep pestering me? What do you want?”

“I don’t know.” YangYang looked him in his eyes.

When they sat together, YangYang found that the boy was so short.

“Humph” He said with a smile, as if he was really puzzled, “How can he like you, a short boy?”

“Who’s short? I’m over 170cm tall!” Zhan stared at him.

This guy said he was short!

If he could be regarded as short, how about those who was just over 150cm?

In order not to show weakness, Zhan looked up and tried his best to look him in the eyes.

After a while, his neck became sour. Then he found that this guy was as tall as Yibo.

“Can you tell me why you always pester me?”

Boy was really annoyed. Someone inexplicably pestered him. He was very innocent and helpless.

“If your goal is Young Master Wang, then you’re looking for the wrong person. I’m nothing to Young Master Wang. It’s useless for you to pester me.”

“Do you think I want to get information about Yibo from you?”

“Then, why?” Boy was not good at guessing at all.

“I said, I don’t know.” YangYang’s words didn’t sound fake.

His beautiful eyes were full of innocence and a trace of confusion, which made it hard for people to doubt his sincerity.

But was this really the case?

He didn’t know why to pester him, but he always pestered him. How could Zhan be convinced of this excuse?

“Probably because I am unwilling to be driven away by you that night.”

Unwilling? Why did he sound like a child?

“Was it the first time you had been rejected by a boy?”

The restaurant owner served the first dish, Zhan said casually while holding chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, YangYang thought about this question seriously.

After a moment, he nodded seriously, “you are the first boy to refuse me.”

“Cough!” Zhan almost choked to death on the Sweet and Sour.

Did he have to pester me just because I refused him?

But what was the point?

“You hurt my self-esteem.” YangYang said seriously once again.

Zhan looked at him carefully to study his expression.

Since he found that the man’s words were true. He did not lie to him.

OMG! These noble men were born to be loved by thousands of people.

In particular, YangYang was so handsome. He must have lived in the flattery of girls and boys all the time.

Now, he was occasionally refused by a boy. Then, he felt that this boy hurt his self-esteem?

“I refuse you to approach me because of Young Master Wang, I don’t want to have any contact with Young Master Wang’s friends. It’s just so simple.”

Zhan felt that it was necessary for him to make it clear to him, so that he would not really hurt his self-esteem.

“If you are not Young Master Wang’s friend, with your so handsome face, I should not have refused you so thoroughly when you want to talk to me.”

Of course, Zhan was not the kind of person who would only be attracted by face. Even if YangYang was handsome, it depended on whether he was pleasing to his eyes and the situation at that time.

Like that night, so many people were there. Under that circumstances, Zhan would not refuse a good-looking guy.

After all, it was a group of people playing together. It did not matter to have one more friend.

Of course, if Zhan was alone, he would probably refuse.

So, he said, it depended.

“Really?” YangYang didn’t seem to believe it. He turned his head and looked at his face.

“Yes. Most girls and boys won’t refuse a man like you.”

“Will you refuse me?”

“Will you break away your friendship with Young Master Wang?”

“No.” YangYang answered firmly.

Zhan gently took a breath and said helplessly, “So, you are Young Master Wang’s friend, and I’m not willing to make friends with you. It is so simple.”

So, after this meal, he should do his own things and not pester him again.

YangYang still stared at his small face and wanted to say something. But his eyes finally sank and he didn’t speak.

His depressed expression made Zhan uneasy immediately,

Could it be that I hurt his self-esteem again?

But, why was this noble Young Master so fragile? Could he be a little bit stronger?

The people around, especially the girls, looked at Zhan fiercely and almost wanted to tear him apart.

It was as if Zhan bullied their beloved God and made their Prince Charming so depressed.

“Hey, the Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs are here it’s really good. Would you like to try them?”

In order to avoid those eyes which wanted to tear him, Zhan wrinkled his nose and gave a piece of Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs to YangYang.

YangYang did not even look at the bowl, but looked at him, “My name is not ‘Hey!”

“….”

Zhan was speechless. Do you even need to care about such a small matter?

Anyway, after the meal, they could go their separate ways. Zhan didn’t think he needed to know his name.

But now, this guy’s more and more depressed expression almost made him feel sorry with all the girls.

“Well, you… What’s your name?”

“YangYang.” YangYang finally was in a better mood than before, “How about you?”

“Don’t you know my name?” As a friend of Yibo, it was impossible for him to not know Xiao son’s engagement to Yibo.

“I only know that you are the young son of the Xiao family.” As for his name, he really hadn’t checked.

“Xiao Zhan.” Zhan said peevishly. “Now, can we eat?”

The restaurant owner served one soy-braised pork. Although the color was not good, it smelled delicious!

Zhan’s mouth was watering and he immediately ate a piece of soy-braised pork.

“Oh…” Boy covered his mouth and looked embarrassed.

“What’s wrong?” YangYang thought that boy choked. So, he immediately patted his back, “Eat slowly, I won’t grab.”

“No. I..Wuuwuwu…. It hurts…” It hurt so much that his tears almost started from his eyes, “No… Don’t…don’t….pat…”

Seeing that boy expression was not right, YangYang increased his strength, “Eat slowly.”

“No, you..Wuu… Don’t pat me… It hurts.”

Zhan turned and pushed his hand away.

Finally, Boy swallowed the piece of soy-braised pork, he glared at him and his eyes were red.

“You pat me so hard. Do you want to kill me? Do you know it hurts?”

“I’m afraid you’re choking.” What’s more, he didn’t use much strength… Well, maybe he didn’t control his strength well after he had been trained for so many years.

However, this boy was actually so weak that he couldn’t withstand even a little bit of strength.

This understanding was a bit new.

Zhan covered his mouth and breathed. He felt wronged.

“Are you scalded, little boy? The dishes are all cooked now. They are very hot. Don’t be so greedy. Eat slowly.”

When the restaurant owner served the third dish, he looked at Zhan with a smile.

He looked at YangYang again and said with a smile, “Your little boyfriend is so lovely.”

“Yes.” YangYang nodded and did not explain.

He never liked to explain the irrelevant things.

But Zhan was different. As he wanted to explain that they were not lovers, the restaurant owner had gone far away

He glared at YangYang and said unhappily, “Why don’t you explain? We are not lovers.”
