Chapter 136
Song Luokui and Chi Yu walked out of the bar. Outside, several black cars were parked, all belonging to Chi Yu's men. Song Luokui glanced at Chi Yu, and he immediately opened the door of one of the cars.
Song Luokui got in right away, and Chi Yu followed suit. The men behind them also got into their respective cars, and several cars drove off.
In the car, Chi Yu explained to Song Luokui, "The person you saw earlier was my cousin. He has recently picked up some bad habits from the wrong crowd, so..."
Song Luokui thought about how that man made someone lick his shoes. This was not just a bad habit, but a cruel act.
Seeing Song Luokui frown, Chi Yu said, "I've already arranged for him to be sent to plant trees in the northwest. If he doesn't learn his lesson, I won't let him come back."
Noticing that Song Luokui hadn't spoken, Chi Yu grabbed her hand. "Do you think my approach was too cruel?" After all, he had beaten someone in front of her.
Song Luokui shook her head. "No, is he really from your family?" How could Chi Yu, who seemed so upright, have such an ill-mannered cousin?
Song Luokui suddenly realized that she didn't really know much about Chi Yu's family. "Apart from him, are there any others in your family who are so... ill-bred?"
For families like theirs, every move they make, if magnified, could cause harm to the entire family. A few days ago, when her brother Song Luosheng and Chi Yu fought—or rather, when Chi Yu was beaten up—the video that was uploaded made her worry about the impact it might have on her parents.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
Fortunately, the issue was quickly resolved, and the videos and comments on the internet were removed.
Chi Yu said, "He's the youngest child of my uncle's family, so he's been spoiled and unrestrained, and he's also made some bad friends."
Song Luokui shook her head. "Friends are secondary; one's own character is most important. If it were my family member, sending him to plant trees in the northwest wouldn't cut it. I think he should go to prison for reform."
Chi Yu replied, "You're right, so I had him sent away. If he doesn't improve, I'll have him go dig mines in Africa."
Song Luokui asked, "Apart from you, who else is in your family? I don't seem to know much about your family situation."
Chi Yu explained, "It's just me in my immediate family, but there are many branches and relatives from my mother's side too. You don't need to worry about the rest of them. You probably know my parents. My grandparents have retired and are currently not in Jing City, but in S City, where my grandmother is from."
Song Luokui wondered, "Then why did you have to deal with your cousin?"
A flicker of coldness passed through Chi Yu's eyes. "They couldn't bring themselves to discipline him, but I could."
Looking at her calm expression, Chi Yu was afraid she might develop a negative impression of him, so he asked, "What made you go there today?"
Song Luosheng widened his eyes. "So you're saying Chi Yu is more outstanding than your brother?"
Song Luokui reassured him, "Of course not. It's just that apart from you, Chi Yu is the most outstanding."
Song Luosheng seemed satisfied. "That's more like it."
He then continued, "From now on, you have to be home by 10 pm whenever you go out with him. You're not allowed to stay out overnight. Let me know what you're up to."
Song Luokui was delighted. "Brother, does that mean you approve?"
Song Luosheng replied, "No, I just figure you can play around for a year or two at most before kicking him to the curb."
Song Luokui thought to herself, well, she would take that as his approval.
"Alright, I'm going to go rest now."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Song Luokui went upstairs, Song Luosheng sat on the sofa for a while before finally punching it in frustration. Damn that Chi Yu!
The next day, since she had promised to have lunch with Chi Yu, Song Luokui went straight to Chi Yu's car after school, and the two headed to the restaurant that Chi Yu had booked.
"Brother, I'm going out for lunch with Chi Yu today. I'll go back after the meal, so you don't need to wait for me," Song Luokui informed Song Luosheng.
Song Luosheng asked through gritted teeth, "Where are you having lunch?"
Song Luokui didn't hide it, "At XXX."
Song Luosheng said, "I see."
...
Half an hour later, Song Luokui was at a loss for words when she saw Song Luosheng sitting between her and Chi Yu.
Song Luosheng said, "What's wrong? Don't you welcome me? Can Song Luokui bear to let this lonely old man eat alone at home?"
Song Luokui said, "...Haha. No..."
