Ye Tiao spoke, visibly annoyed as she sharply rapped Tang Jingming on the head and cursed, "And Shi Lingyan is your sister’s man, and now that bastard has married someone else, wouldn’t you beat him up? But no, you have to take care of his wife too?"
Tang Jingming was hit so hard that his eyes brimmed with tears, and with a whine, he protested, "My sister has been dead for three years now, and my brother-in-law is still so young, you can’t expect him to spend his whole life with a dead person!"
The one thing Ye Tiao couldn’t stand to hear was this kind of talk, and she got so angry that she started swinging her fist, ready to throw another punch.
Tang Jingming immediately grabbed her hand, "Sister Ye, Sister Ye, there are girls here, give me some face!"
"She’s supposed to be dumb, what does she know about ’face’!" Ye Tiao snapped, but she still lowered her fist.
Tang Jingming let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Tiao slapped the cigarette case on the table, ’ding’, and opened the heavy men’s lighter.
The metal lighter bore the image of a dragon roaming the clouds; its flame flickered to life, casting an especially sinister glow across Ye Tiao’s face.
Ye Tiao, sporting a crew cut and wearing only a tank top and shorts, revealed muscles and lines on her pale skin, and as she sat back with her legs crossed smoking, she looked every bit the street thug.
What a pity, born the wrong gender.
Ye Tiao blew a long smoke ring and then said nonchalantly, "What did you bring her to me for?"
Tang Jingming chuckled, "Your bar’s business isn’t what it used to be. Xiao Yuan said you’re barely hanging on."
"What, you want to take over?" Ye Tiao flicked ash from her cigarette, her smile tinged with mockery, "Twenty million, and it’s yours."
Tang Jingming appeared embarrassed, "I don’t have the money, but as an old friend, I thought of you first for a side job."
"Yeah, didn’t you use to be my sister’s stylist? You looked really trendy and cool. Our little junior doesn’t know how to dress up; you could give her a makeover."
Tang Jingming immediately responded, "My brother-in-law!"
"How could he," Tang Jingming scratched his head, looking somewhat sheepish, "of course I came on my own. They also want to hire a tutor for the little junior; all that needs to be done is take good care of her. But you definitely can’t do that job, I’m planning to find someone from a tutoring center."
Ye Tiao gave a derisive snort.
Just as she was about to refuse, the cell phone on the table buzzed once.
The words "Special Attention" were particularly eye-catching.
Tang Jingming keenly noticed that Ye Tiao’s gloominess had notably lessened as she picked up the phone.
Tang Jingming grinned and teased, "Boyfriend?"
Ye Tiao ignored him, holding the smoke in her mouth and squinting as she read the message.
A simple word: Agreed.
Ye Tiao was perplexed.
"Special Attention": Take me in.
Ye Tiao’s eyelids twitched; she looked up to see the little junior, who had been as quiet as a mouse behind Tang Jingming, gently shaking her phone.
A tug in her heart, Ye Tiao’s eyes involuntarily widened as she gazed at her.
Shi Mei pursed her lips, tugging gently at Tang Jingming’s sleeve, whispered, "Tang Baobei, I need to pee."
Ye Tiao’s eyes bulged, and she inadvertently took a deep drag of the smoke.
The thick smoke filled her nostrils, and she immediately started coughing violently.
The half-smoked cigarette dropped from her mouth, the orange-red burning ember landing solidly on her thigh, causing her to jump up.
Shi Mei looked at her with large, round eyes, full of innocence, "Sister Ye, what’s wrong?"
And Ye Tiao, one hand covering her mouth coughing, the other pointing at Shi Mei, looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Go to hell with your act of a five-year-old mental retardation!"
If this person was a retard, she’d chop off her head and use it as a football!
