Chapter 123 Yang Lan’s “fiancé”
"Do you know each other?" Peter looked at the policeman angrily, and must have thought of the idiom "in cahoots with each other".
"Mr. Yuan, is there any misunderstanding here?" The police officer asked cautiously, fearing that a wrong word would offend Yuan Yongkai and ruin his future in this life.
"This gentleman tried to take advantage of my friend's drunkenness to commit a crime, and he even accused us of trespassing. I only attacked him in self-defense and to protect my fellow citizens."
Yuan Yongkai said seriously, cooperating with the police in filing a case.
"You, you, you...it's obviously you guys..." Peter jumped up anxiously, ignoring the pain in his body, pointing at Yuan Yongkai's nose, but he was so excited that he couldn't say anything.
"Can you please keep your voices down? Lanlan finally fell asleep!" At this time, Meng Zhiling came to the living room and scolded the people there.
"Ms. Meng, you are here too?" The policeman looked helpless. It seemed that if he couldn't handle this matter well today, he would have no chance of getting into trouble in the future. The people involved were too big, okay?
"Wow, you actually dare to call the police!" Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows, not taking the young man in police uniform seriously at all.
Peter was even more confused watching from the side, not understanding what the relationship was or what was going on.
Why would someone like him, who was there to pick up his drunken fiancée and take her home, attract these people? And who are they, and why do the police seem so afraid of them?
"Comrade Police Officer, I know you will enforce the law impartially and uphold justice for me. I'm the fiancé of the owner of this house. It's only natural for me to bring my girlfriend home, right? Could you tell me what the relationship is between these two people and the owner of this place?"
Peter was anxious and immediately told everything.
"What? What's your relationship with Yang Lan?" Yuan Yongkai looked at him with red eyes. If the people in front of him weren't ordinary people, Meng Zhiling suspected that he would open his mouth and eat the other person directly.
"What's the relationship? Do you even need to ask? She is my fiancée!" Peter said proudly, raised his head, and looked at Yuan Yongkai with an inexplicable sense of superiority.
A man's intuition told him that this violent man in front of him must be interested in Yang Lan, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous. But so what? So many men admired Yang Lan, but only he could be her husband, her fiancé!
"Fiancée? Engaged?" Yuan Yongkai frowned and remembered Yang Lan's drunken words just now. It turned out that she meant that she didn't want to get engaged to this pretty boy and didn't love this pretty boy.
After sorting out the problem, Yuan Yongkai suddenly felt enlightened and his brows relaxed.
There is a sense of indescribable happiness in my heart, and I don’t know where it comes from.
"So what if they're not engaged? I came to China to pick her up to get engaged. The day is coming soon and everything is ready. In your words, it's a done deal!" After Peter said this, he instantly felt that he looked very powerful and majestic.
"Hmph, fake foreigner!" Yuan Yongkai was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him. He just sneered and kept complaining.
"So what? Officer Wang, Yang Lan is my friend and an employee of my company. This is well known to everyone. But wouldn't it be a bit awkward for this foreigner, whose nationality is unknown, to claim that he knows my friend? What if we believe him and let him stay? Wouldn't that be giving him the opportunity to commit a crime? So, Officer Wang, it should be clear what we should do, right?"
Meng Zhiling looked at the work ID on the police officer's chest, smiled slightly, and spoke slowly.
When Officer Xiao Wang heard Meng Zhiling address him, he was flattered and immediately nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, Miss Meng is right. I will take this gentleman back to the police station and will not bother you and Miss Yang again!"
After all, if you have been working in the police station for thirty years and have achieved nothing, and are still just a police officer, everyone has ambitions and ideals in their hearts. Even if they are just empty talk, you will be excited.
"Sir, come on, let's go to the police station!"
Peter had no choice. Now he was in someone else's territory, and it seemed that Mr. Yuan and Miss Meng still had a little status, so he had to admit defeat. He was resentful in his heart and prayed for them, praying that they would not fall into his hands one day.
In an instant, the villa returned to silence, and Yuan Yongkai then realized that he had lost his composure and was too excited just now.
"Yongkai, it's so late, you should go back first. I will stay here with Lanlan tonight!" Meng Zhiling saw his embarrassment and didn't want to point it out, so she said sympathetically.
"Well, look, I finally invited you to dinner, but it turned out like this!" Yuan Yongkai felt a little embarrassed.
Meng Zhiling shook her head. "It's okay. You can grab something on the way back. I'll see what's in her fridge. She just vomited, and her stomach is empty. I can just make do with whatever I want!"
"Okay then, let's make an appointment to talk about that later."
After Yuan Yong drove away, Meng Zhiling called Qiao Surong on her landline and explained the reason why she was not going back so as not to worry him.
"Are you awake? Time for breakfast!" The next morning, Meng Zhiling had just finished making breakfast when Li Yao came downstairs. Looking at her swollen face, Meng Zhiling was too lazy to laugh at her.
After all, I've seen her in an uglier state last night.
"Why are you here? Where's Peter?" Yang Lan rubbed her hair, looked around, and made sure this was her home.
"Peter? He was beaten by Yuan Yongkai and sent to the police station. He's probably recovering in the hospital now!"
Meng Zhiling said calmly, secretly observing her expression, wanting to see what kind of feelings she had towards these two people.
"What?" Yang Lan had a piece of bread in her mouth, but after hearing what Meng Zhiling said, she was so shocked that the bread fell to the ground. While she was talking, the bread foam in her mouth flew everywhere. Her current appearance was simply a disaster scene!
"Just as you heard!"
Meng Zhiling shrugged, thinking her reaction was a bit exaggerated. Hadn't she hugged her last night and said she didn't want to get engaged to Peter and didn't love him? Judging from this reaction, it didn't seem like she didn't care at all.
"Ah... I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Yang Lan grabbed her head frantically. Her short hair was difficult to manage to begin with, and after she grabbed it, she looked like a madman.
"Okay, don't worry. You won't die. It's just a broken bone!" Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes at her. She was really not calm at all!
"Ah? Fracture? Whose fracture? What I mean is, I embarrassed myself in front of you. Why didn't you tell me that Yuan Yongkai was here? Tell me quickly, did I say anything nonsense last night? Did I lose control of myself?" Yang Lan grabbed Meng Zhiling's shoulders and asked her several questions in a row, which made Meng Zhiling confused.
It seems this girl isn't really worried about Peter, right? It seems her focus is still on Yuan Yongkai! I'm so impressed!
"You didn't lose your composure that much. You just hugged Yuan Yongkai and cried, saying that you didn't want to get engaged to Peter and that you didn't love Peter. You also asked Yuan Yongkai if he would be sad or feel a little lost if you really married someone else!" Meng Zhiling smiled at Yang Lan, talking nonsense seriously and adding fuel to the fire.
"Really?"
Yang Lan was half-believing and half-doubting, because she had a vague memory of hugging someone and saying something random.
Meng Zhiling nodded seriously, very sincerely!
"You are too serious. I don't quite believe you. You must be talking nonsense!" Yang Lan shook her head and comforted herself.
"Haha, okay, forget it if you don't believe it!" Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows and began to enjoy her breakfast.
After a while, seeing that Meng Zhiling had almost finished eating, Yang Lan was still standing there, staring at Meng Zhiling without moving her eyes.
"Why don't you eat?"
"You really didn't lie to me?" Yang Lan was still struggling with the previous topic.
"Are you annoying? If you don't believe it, what's the point of confirming it again?" Meng Zhiling put down the milk impatiently and glared at Yang Lan.
"Zhiling, then, what was his reaction?" Yang Lan asked in a low voice, hesitating. Her shy look gave Meng Zhiling goosebumps.
"Who?"
Meng Zhiling asked knowingly. It was so rare to see Yang Lan so gentle and shy, she had to play with her.
"Who else could it be, Yuan Yongkai!" Yang Lan said, pursing her lips and looking at Meng Zhiling with wide eyes expectantly.
"You talk about him, he is very gentleman, he didn't react much, he didn't respond at all to you, a drunkard, okay?" Meng Zhiling said contemptuously.
"Haha, it's really like his usual style, as indifferent as before. How could I have any expectations of him? I'm so stupid!" Yang Lan laughed bitterly and said self-deprecatingly.
Meng Zhiling looked at her smile with heartache. She wanted to comfort her and tell her the truth, but she was afraid that Yuan Yongkai still didn't know his own heart and would make Yang Lan discouraged as always.
"Lanlan, I was just lying to you, don't hit me!" Meng Zhiling looked up and said softly. After thinking about it, she decided that this way of comforting her would be better.
"Meng...Zhi...Ling!" Yang Lan gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite Meng Zhiling twice.
"But Yuan Yongkai really was here, and it was indeed he who beat your fiancé into the hospital and the police station, and the person you were hugging was me. I just slightly changed a few details!" Meng Zhiling blinked her big eyes innocently, trying to gain Yang Lan's trust and sympathy.
"Don't talk to me, I'm going to break up with you for two hours!" Yang Lan took a glass of milk and went back to the house.
It was an hour later when she came out again. With neat clothes, exquisite makeup and smooth hair, the capable Yang Lan was back again.
"Where are you going? Are you feeling better?" Meng Zhiling followed behind Yang Lan and asked flatteringly.
"Don't talk to me. It's not time to break up yet!" Yang Lan raised her head, picked up her bag, and ignored Meng Zhiling.
"Are you going to meet your fiancé or Yuan Yongkai? You are dressed so beautifully!"
Meng Zhiling still didn't give up and followed him and nagged him all the way.
"Get out! If you say anything about my fiancé again, I'll fight you to the death!" Yang Lan suddenly stopped, turned her head fiercely, and glared at Meng Zhiling!
