Chapter 368: Chen Fei’s Phone Call

“Sir, do you want to buy flowers?” asked a small voice.

Yang Ming raised his head. He noticed a little girl holding a bundle of flowers looking at him pitifully.

“How much?” asked Yang Ming.

“Ten… ten yuan…” The little girl said carefully.

Christmas flowers were more expensive, and Yang Ming knew it well too. He gazed at the pitiful little girl and he said, “Give me a flower.”

As Yang Ming spoke, he took out ten yuan.

“Elder brother… can you buy more?” The little girl hurriedly said, “I beg of you… I have sold merely six of them today. If I don’t sell enough, I will be beaten up at night…”

“Beaten up?” Yang Ming frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I… elder brother, please don’t ask anymore…” When the little girl spoke, her gaze moved to a bench not far away.

Yang Ming followed the little girl’s gaze and saw a man with a fierce appearance sitting on the bench smoking. He looked around from time to time. Yang Ming immediately understood that this guy must be the leader of an illegal network of children who sold flowers. Apparently, there was more than one child selling flowers here.

Yang Ming sighed. In regard to such matters, although he wanted to deal with it, he couldn’t do anything about it. If Yang Ming wanted to stand up for it, the man would definitely say that this little girl was his daughter or simply shoved his crime away. However, Yang Ming didn’t intend to let him go.

“Zhang Bing, Tian Donghua, come over and buy flowers for your girlfriend.” Yang Ming summoned.

Yang Ming bought for Chen Mengyan. Of course, Tian Donghua and Zhang Bing naturally paid for them as well. No one would do anything that would taint their reputation.

As the first girl in a group to receive a flower, Chen Mengyan was delighted. Therefore, Chen Mengyan made an exception to the be generous for once as she dragged Yang Ming aside and whispered, “Yang Ming, Zhou Jiajia hasn’t received any flowers. She is the only one who didn’t receive one. How embarrassing can it be? How about you buy one for her?”

“Ah?” Yang Ming was stunned. You want me to buy flowers for Zhou Jiajia? What international joke is that? However, looking at Chen Mengyan’s eager eyes, Yang Ming couldn’t bear to refuse. Let it be. It’s rare that Chen Mengyan is being generous. Yang Ming simply nodded and said, “Okay.”

So, Yang Ming took out another ten yuan and bought a rose. The little girl was naturally very happy that she got herself another sale.

“This is for you.” Yang Ming extended his hand with the flower in front of Zhou Jiajia.

“Ah…” Zhou Jiajia’s face immediately showed an expression as though she couldn’t believe it. She was surprised and excited yet had a hint of hesitation! What’s Yang Ming doing? Is he toying around with me?

Happiness had come too fast. Zhou Jiajia felt it was surreal. Although she just heard what Chen Mengyan said to Yang Ming, she knew that this rose didn’t mean anything special. They were merely afraid of her being embarrassed, so they bought it for her!

However, Zhou Jiajia was very familiar with Yang Ming’s character. She was clear on Yang Ming’s attitude toward her! At this moment, no matter what, if Yang Ming could buy a flower for her, it indicated that the relationship between them still showed signs of being alleviated!

However, Zhou Jiajia once again recognized Chen Mengyan’s position in Yang Ming’s heart! Indeed, this woman’s position in Yang Ming’s heart is no less than Su Ya’s!

In other words, if I get the approval of Chen Mengyan, it isn’t far from my ideal goal. In any case, Su Ya had become a past tense. Now, Chen Mengyan was the pillow person next to Yang Ming! Therefore, Zhou Jiajia felt that it was necessary for her to adjust her plan. On the other side of Su Ya, she could get her forgiveness later.

Zhou Jiajia trembled and took the rose from Yang Ming’s hand. She was too excited that she didn’t know what to say. Wang Xue smiled and looked at Zhou Jiajia with a deeper intention. “Jiajia, why are you shaking? Is it cold?” As she spoke, she threw an eye signal to Zhou Jiajia.

Yang Ming was also trying to ask this question. She didn’t expect Wang Xue to voice it out first.

After receiving the hint from Wang Xue, Zhou Jiajia quickly hid her emotions! Indeed, Chen Mengyan is still in front of me. I can’t show anything improper. Otherwise, the friendship I just built with her will definitely break down instantly.

If Chen Mengyan is being defensive to me, then the previous efforts would be lost! Zhou Jiajia suddenly woke up and said quickly, “Yes, it’s a bit cold. Haha , I didn’t wear enough.”

Yang Ming didn’t suspect her. He nodded and said nothing. For Zhou Jiajia, she was holding the rose tightly, fearing as though the flower would disappear. Moreover, from time to time, she used her peripheral vision to look at the rose. A slightly noticeable smile came across the corner of her mouth.

Wang Xue sighed secretly. Zhou Jiajia, how can you be satisfied so easily? It’s just a flower, and not specifically bought for you. Yet, it makes you happy like this.

Indeed, Zhou Jiajia now had a feeling of dizziness like the feeling of being stunned by happiness. Zhou Jiajia at this moment was very easy to satisfy. Just like many little girls who were eager to be blessed, a little surprise would make her feel blessed for a long time.

Zhou Jiajia felt that she really didn’t come out in vain today. At least, she had received a flower! Although Zhou Jiajia always received flowers from boys, the one given by Yang Ming couldn’t be the same as those! Even though there was only one, Zhou Jiajia treasured it.

Yang Ming took the free time to call Chen Fei when he headed to the cinema. He took out his cell phone and called Chen Fei. Forcing children to sell flowers, such matters naturally had to be dealt with by the police!

“Hello, Uncle Chen, I’m Yang Ming.” Yang Ming said.

“Oh? Yang Ming. It’s quite late. Why are you looking for Uncle Chen?” Chen Fei asked.

“Haha, Uncle Chen, this is the case. I just bought a rose at the KFC gate of Huahai Main Street. I found out that the children seem to be controlled by a criminal group. Moreover, there are some abused children.” Yang Ming said, “I suspect that the people who instruct these children are nearby.”

“Oh? You went to Huahai Street? Did you buy flowers? Are you going out with your girlfriend?” Chen Fei asked.

“Yes,haha.” Yang Ming smiled.

“With your high school classmate? Is it the study commissary?” Chen Fei asked again.

“En.” Yang Ming nodded and didn’t understand why Chen Fei was so meticulous.

“Oh, did the both of you reconcile?” Chen Fei continued to ask, “Oh ya, was the Disney doll I suggested to you as a gift effective?”

“Yes… but Uncle Chen, shouldn’t you care about the issue of the children first? Why are you always interested in my private life?” Yang Ming sweated.

“Oh, it has already been recorded. Xia Xue had already brought a police team to investigate it.” Chen Fei added on, “Did you expect Uncle Chen to personally lead the team to go out? It isn’t a serious case.”

“Oh, Sister Xia Xue is coming. That’s okay.” Yang Ming said in his heart. Xia Xue, a vicious girl who holds a hatred to the evil. Most likely the leader would face his unfortunate end!

“Haha, then I will not bother you further. Enjoy your time!” Chen Fei said, “Oh ya, Yang Ming. I’m still relatively opposed to premarital sex. You shouldn’t let me down!”

“Huh?” Yang Ming hung up the phone. He thought to himself, Why is Uncle Chen caring about my affairs more than my own mother? Premarital sex? Does he have a say in it? It isn’t illegal!

“Yang Ming, who did you call?” Chen Mengyan asked in a soft voice.

“Oh, I made a call to the police.” Yang Ming didn’t have to hide. “Oh ya, did you realize that the little girl who was selling flowers seemed to be forced?”

“En, I found it strange at the time. It really seems like this when you say it!” Chen Mengyan nodded and said to Yang Ming, “You wait for me. I will call my family.”

Yang Ming didn’t think there was anything odd, so he nodded. Chen Mengyan called her family so Yang Ming didn’t plan to eavesdrop. So, he deliberately took a few steps away.

Chen Mengyan’s heart was very kind. Hearing that the children were forced, her sympathy swelled up immediately. Although Yang Ming made a call to the police, Chen Mengyan was afraid that the police station wouldn’t pay enough attention. Hence, she called her father.

“Dad, It’s Mengyan.” Chen Mengyan said.

“Oh? Mengyan, what’s wrong? Why are you looking for dad?” Chen Fei felt it was odd. How come my daughter calls just after Yang Ming hung up? Are they not together? That doesn’t seem right. Wasn’t Yang Ming saying they were together? Is there another person?

“That… I have something to tell you…” So, Chen Mengyan said the same thing about the little girl who sold the flowers.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but be dumbfounded! It seems that the sense of justice of my daughter and son-in-law is quite strong!

“Mengyan, we have received the police call. We have already sent out the police team. Hence, you don’t have to worry about it!” Chen Fei said with a smile, “Oh ya, Mengyan. Where are you? Who are you with?”
