Chapter 750 - 748
Guan He waved the chopsticks in his hand angrily, "Don’t mention it, it’s all tears once I start talking, a bellyful of bitterness. I just found that little girl pleasant to look at, and as a result, I got caught by that kid’s ex-wife. And the most irritating part is that the little girl listens to Ye Xinyan the most. Tell me, isn’t my life hard?"
Forget it, there’s nowhere to reason this out. Guan He lowered his head and took a big sip of the fragrant bone broth, feeling somewhat comforted.
Zheng Pengfei was a bit puzzled. What did Guan He’s last two sentences have to do with pressuring him into marrying? If he didn’t want to, who in the world could force him? What’s the situation with this guy, even talking about being full of tears... It just looks so out of place.
He turned to Jiang Yifan, "What’s really going on with your ex-wife? Look at how she’s got Guan He cornered. Your brother here has always been the kind to take off without a word if things don’t go his way. Could it be that this time he doesn’t even have a chance to run away?" As he spoke, it suddenly seemed like he’d thought of something. He slapped his forehead and pointed at Guan He, "You, did you not control yourself and do that thing to the girl?"
Guan He’s hand trembled, and a dumpling fell from his chopsticks into the soup bowl, splashing a few drops. Guan He exclaimed angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of person do you take me for?"
Zheng Pengfei sneered dismissively, "Pssh, what kind of person are you?" But he also knew he couldn’t provoke Guan He and was wise enough to know when to back down. He turned to Jiang Yifan and said, "Bro, I’m going to speak the truth here, don’t get mad. Your ex-wife isn’t all that great. You finally got rid of her, why would you go back into the fray?"
Jiang Yifan glanced sidelong at Zheng Pengfei but was not annoyed, and said, "Brother Zheng, as you said, the bad one was the ex-wife. This time I’m marrying her, naturally, because she is a good one."
Zheng Pengfei had met Jiang Yifan when he was still a young lad, and he’d also received guidance from Jiang Yifan’s master. Therefore, he was quite informal with Jiang Yifan.
When he heard Jiang Yifan so nonchalantly utter such an ambiguous statement, he laughed out loud and lifted his thumb, "You’ve got guts. Those few years, I came to the capital to visit you twice, and you didn’t even want to mention you had a wife. I never expected you, brother, to be so bold, to dive back into danger after being burned once. I admire this kind of courage the most."
Guan He disdainfully said, "He doesn’t have guts at all, if you ask me. Ever since he took his ex-wife to heart, there are only two kinds of people in his world. The important ones are Ye Xinyan and Ye Xinyan’s family. The rest are unimportant—anyone who is not Ye Xinyan or her family."
