Chapter 16 Lei Tingting
When Lei Tingting woke up in the morning , she found herself in a fragrant bed, wearing soft pajamas. She stretched her arms straight and stretched herself. Her skin was crystal clear in the morning light. Her head was still a little heavy, but it was no big deal. It was good to be young. After a night's rest, her mood became cheerful, but she seemed to have a little blackout - how did she get back to the room?
Nanny Aunt Wang was cleaning the carpet at the door. Lei Tingting asked, "Aunt Wang, were you the one who gave me a bath yesterday?"
Aunt Wang glanced at her and asked, "How much did you drink?"
Lei Tingting smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you again. By the way, how did I get home?"
"Don't mention it, a young man brought you back."
"Young man?" Lei Tingting was a little dazed. She tried hard to recall . The last thing she remembered yesterday seemed to be the police checking the car. Then... the next fragments were intermittent. She vaguely remembered that a young man took care of her along the way.
Aunt Wang said, "You still said that was your boyfriend."
"Ah? Did I say that?" Lei Tingting said in surprise, and then laughed. She knew what kind of person she would be when she was drunk.
Aunt Wang continued, "You don't know that young man. He and your dad started arguing after just a few words. He said your dad was a scammer who was trying to scam an old lady."
Lei Tingting sat up suddenly with her eyes wide open: "My dad? He yelled at that guy?" She knew Lei Xiaohu's prestige in the underworld. Which boss wouldn't be terrified when seeing him? He actually yelled at a young man? Lei Tingting asked hurriedly, "What happened later? Didn't my dad beat him to death?"
Aunt Wang said, "No, it was sent out safely."
"Interesting." Lei Tingting had an inquiring smile on her face. She asked, "Do you know this person's name?"
"I don't know. They say he opened a car repair shop on Changsheng Street."
Lei Tingting put on her clothes, jumped to the ground, opened the door and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Aunt Wang called after her, "Your dad won't let you run around."
"Play!" Lei Tingting left a single word and disappeared.
…
Zhang Nianzu’s car still hadn’t been repaired in time.
He had planned to finish it in one go after dinner with Old Wu last night, but ended up spending most of the night doing good deeds. Lei Xiaohu really sent someone to take him down the mountain and left him alone, causing him to spend more than 100 yuan on a taxi, and it was almost dawn when he came back. When he woke up, the smell of the girl's alcohol on his pants was still hitting his nose, so Zhang Nianzu had to wash clothes in the store.
Watching the clothes spinning in the drum, Zhang Nianzu was distracted and smiled bitterly, "What do you call this?"
"What's wrong?" Old Wu asked from the side.
"Everything went wrong. I shouldn't have gone out yesterday."
Old Wu asked, "Is it because you are bothered by your sister-in-law's offer to help you find a girlfriend?"
"Hey, what are you thinking, no."
"That's good. But what she said makes sense. Once this kind of thing is put on the agenda, it should be treated as a big deal. Whether a person is successful in life is a matter of others, but only you know whether you are happy or not. Who will be the one to accompany you for the rest of your life? Your other half..." Old Wu kept on talking and unconsciously entered the parent's preaching mode.
At this time, a black Mercedes stopped at the intersection of Changsheng Street, and a young and beautiful girl got out of it. She walked into the street, and looked inside every repair shop she saw, which attracted the gang of bad boys who whistled and chatted with her. They followed her like a group of flies and couldn't be driven away.
The girl was neither angry nor responsive. After a while, she arrived at Zhang Nianzu's door. She stretched her neck to look inside, and Zhang Nianzu turned his head to look outside. The two of them came face to face.
"So you are here!" The girl was overjoyed and rushed to Zhang Nianzu.
"Who are you?" Zhang Nianzu was vague. The girl had long hair and a slim figure, and she was full of energy and vitality. But he had never seen her before.
"It's me, Lei Tingting!"
Zhang Nianzu was shocked: "So it's you."
The bad boys followed and when they saw the girl had gone to Zhang Nianzu, they immediately ran away.
Old Wu wondered, "Do you two... know each other?"
"know!"
“I don’t know him!”
Lei Tingting and Zhang Nianzu answered together, but their answers were very different. Zhang Nianzu denied it very firmly.
"How could I not know him? We were together last night." Lei Tingting said to Lao Wu.
"Well... I'm going to go for a walk outside." Old Wu didn't think the topic was a good one, so he went out with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Nianzu looked at Lei Tingting warily and said, "Why did you come to see me? - Don't spray me!"
Lei Tingting chuckled: "I was really embarrassed about yesterday, so I came here today to thank you. Fortunately, my memory is still good, and I vaguely remember what you looked like."
Zhang Nianzu sighed and said, "No need for that. Haven't you harmed me enough?"
Lei Tingting smiled and asked, "Did I say yesterday that you are my boyfriend?"
Zhang Nianzu was furious and said, "Your father interrogated me for half the night because of this. Do you know what you are doing? You are a typical example of repaying kindness with enmity!"
Lei Tingting smiled, then asked cautiously: "Then do you know who my father is?"
Zhang Nianzu nodded.
"Are you afraid?"
Zhang Nianzu said in a loud voice: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door!"
Lei Tingting smiled and said, "Why don't you do anything wrong?"
"What do you mean?"
Lei Tingting asked: "Am I not pretty enough?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "How could I care about feeling guilty in the situation yesterday? I had to drive, and I had to be busy from time to time to prevent you from choking yourself. Your face was covered with vomit as if you were covered with a facial mask. To tell you the truth, I was busy all night and I didn't even see what you looked like--" At this point he looked at her carefully. Lei Tingting was as her name suggested, graceful and elegant, with a very lively and cheerful personality. This surprised Zhang Nianzu, as he had thought that even if the daughter of the underworld was not ugly, she must be the kind of little sister that evil people would fear.
Lei Tingting insisted, "Then you really just sent me home honestly without any evil intentions?"
Zhang Nianzu waved his hands vigorously: "You may still not have a direct feeling about what happened yesterday. After I got in your car, you were like a fountain, and I can't swim, so you drowned me again."
Lei Tingting chuckled and then blushed. She had seen her car this morning. To describe it as a mess was simply an exaggeration. Thinking about how many embarrassing things she had done were seen by others, even an outgoing girl would feel embarrassed. She interrupted, "I don't want my car anymore. I'll sell it to you at an 80% discount on the second-hand price."
Zhang Nianzu said bluntly: "No, we don't accept cars that have been soaked."
Lei Tingting was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She immediately burst into laughter and stretched out her hand and said, "You are really interesting. Let's be friends. By the way, what's your name?"
While Zhang Nianzu was wondering what was so interesting about himself, he unconsciously reached out his hand and shook hers, saying, "My name is Zhang Nianzu."
Lei Tingting asked: "Are you an overseas Chinese?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Only the sons of overseas Chinese like to call him Nianzu."
Zhang Nianzu said: "I have hardly ever left the province."
Lei Tingting smiled and said, "Since you are so interesting, I will take you to an exciting place!"
