Chapter 683: Serious Consequences
Chapter 683: Serious Consequences
It was actually easy to understand why Ai Mi and Ren Peng aren’t outsiders.
Whether it was from Auntie Ren or Xiao Qin perspective, I have recognized Ren Peng as a cousin, so from my perspective alone, Ren Peng would also be Ai Mi’s cousin.
So Ren Peng, it wasn’t wrong for you to play games with Ai Mi until you vomited. Ai Mi is your cousin’s (me) cousin, so she would also be your cousin.
Anyway, I’m ready to die for my sisters at any time. Ren Peng, you shouldn’t be so petty, it’s nothing more than getting beat to death by Xiao Qin, or being pissed by Ai Mi to death.
Since I can’t explain their relationship right now, I still classified their argument as a quarrel between “brother and sister”.
So I stood between the two of them and said to Ren Peng first: “Cousin, take it easy, Ai Mi won’t really expel you from the team.”
Ai Mi interjected before Ren Peng could respond.
“You, why did you call him cousin?”
I made up a random lie: “Um… it has been a rule in Dong Shan City since the Qing Dynasty. As long as someone is older than you, but they are not old enough to be called an uncle, then you have to call them cousin.”
“Eh, really?” Winnie exclaimed, then said apologetically to Ren Peng: “I didn’t know the rules, I’ve always been calling you ‘god’, but now I’ll call you cousin.”
Winnie, stop causing more trouble. Also, I’m obviously lying to Ai Mi, but you believed it. Are you even a local of Dong Shan City?
Ren Peng finally opened his mouth and said, “As long as I can continue to be the captain of the team, I’m not going to fight with an elementary school student, how many exams she fails have nothing to do with me…”
“You’re the one who’s an elementary school student, your whole family are elementary school students.” Ai Mi, who was already in junior high school, was furious and sent Obama to bite him, but Obama was afraid of Xiao Qin, who was standing two or three steps away from Ren Peng.
“Ai Mi, don’t rush.” I turned my head to advise, “A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. First make peace, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future to abuse him…”
Ren Peng hurriedly stopped me: “Ye Lin, what are you saying, do you think that I’m deaf? What do you mean there will be a lot of opportunities in the future to abuse me?”
I thought: you were already abused by your cousin, Xiao Qin, for so long and didn’t die, so what if you get abused a bit more by Ai Mi? I’m not even afraid of death, so what are you afraid of?
So I cleared my throat, “Cousin, you’re a university student and you should be the bigger person. It’s the same in game, there are a lot of people who say they would tear you apart in game, but how many can actually achieve it?”
“That’s true.” Once I praised his achievements in the game, he became smug and conceited.
“That’s right, cousin.” Winnie echoed, “Just make up with Miss Ai Mi, it’s a friendship we made playing LOL.”
Ren Peng felt a bit uncomfortable after Winnie called him cousin, but he knew Winnie was always muddled, so he didn’t really put it to mind.
He put his hands in his pockets and once again said: “Anyway, as long as I continue to be the captain, then everything is fine.”
Winnie whispered something in Ai Mi’s ear, Ai Mi then reached out and pointed to Xiao Qin, who was next to Ren Peng, and asked, “You’re really not a spy sent by the violent girl?”
Ren Peng was exasperated, “I was beaten by my cousin until my eyebrows went bald, why would I be her spy?”
Xiao Qin covered her face with both hands in shame.
I think the situation was looking good, so I struck while the iron was hot and whispered to Ai Mi: “You’re current headquarters is based in Qing Zi Academy. If you’re living under someone else’s roof, then you have no choice but to bow down. It’s also a good thing to leave the game addict Ren Peng in your team, so he will also be ‘under your roof’. His father is against him making his own team, so if you take advantage of his weakness, you can use him as you please.
Ai Mi woke up like she was in a dream and nodded, then the corners of her mouth rose into a sly smile.
“Manservant, you’re getting more and more sinister. It won’t be long before you will be on par with mother.”
I don’t think it’s a compliment. The reason why I have to scheme a little is because of my heart disease. My ability as a “general” is now weakened, so I have to reluctantly develop into a “strategist”.
Besides, I listened to my dad talk about “Sun Tzu’s Art of War”, “The Prince”, etc… so I already knew a lot of schemes and tricks, but since it didn’t fit the Spartan style, I was unwilling to use it.
But I didn’t feel guilty at all for using Ren Peng. He might not know it himself, but Ai Mi would also count as his cousin. It really doesn’t matter if you get abused by your younger female cousin.
“Fine.” Ai Mi crossed her thin arms in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and said with a condescending look, “Since you’re begging me on your knees, I’ll reluctantly agree to let the violent girl’s cousin stay in the team.”
Who kneeled down and begged you? You were worried that Ren Peng would use his father’s power to expel you for failing multiple exams and insulting the teacher.
Ren Peng didn’t really care about letting Ai Mi talk all she wants, he didn’t have any more goals other than staying as captain.
Peng TouSi saw that I had settled a dispute peacefully and gave me a look of approval, then he proposed:
“As the saying goes: shake hands to make peace. Since you and Ren Peng have solved your differences, then let’s shake hands as a show of friendship.”
Ai Mi clicked her tongue, “Who wants to shake his dirty hand.”
“Then I can shake hands with him on your behalf.” Peng TouSi said.
“Me too.” Winnie put her hand out.
“No.” Ai Mi said in a high-pitched voice, “You two are also responsible for putting sunscreen on me. If your hands get dirty, then won’t my body get dirty too?”
“Then let Lin shake hands with him…”
“The manservant can’t either, he also has to help me apply sunscreen.”
Ren Peng looked at me with a strange gaze after Ai Mi shouted out, as if I was a deranged lolicon who took advantage of Ai Mi’s favorable opinion of me to apply sunscreen on her naked every day.
In Ren Peng’s eyes, I’m just a manservant Ai Mi “picked up from the streets”, so even when I said he and Ai Mi are not outsiders, he won’t believe he was actually Ai Mi’s cousin.
Finally, it was Winnie who picked up Obama and let Obama shake hands with Ren Peng. Obama even had a condescending expression.
Ren Peng was also magnanimous, he held onto Obama’s front paws and said very formally: “As long as I stay as a captain, I will still carry you guys.”
He doesn’t know how much he will suffer because of those words.
It’s probably easier to carry Obama in LOL, than it is to carry Ai Mi.
It’s not easy being the eldest cousin.
Regardless of the future, the matter was finally solved for the time being. Winnie and Ren Peng began to discuss the arrangements of the team, then Xiao Qin could finally talk to me because Ren Peng moved away.
“Ye Lin classmate, I really didn’t deliberately poison that tank of goldfish…”
Are you still thinking about that, isn’t it because you put too much water purifier? Is a tank of goldfish more important compared to beating up your cousin?
“Also… you called Uncle Ye ten minutes ago right? I think you were asking if you can check deleted text messages…”
That’s right, the class leader deleted the text message on my phone, so I went to ask my dad with a glimmer of hope to see if we can check SMS records.
My dad responsibly told me: you completely can, he has a classmate who works in telecommunications, so you can look up both phone calls and text messages.
I was overjoyed, but before I could laugh, my dad immediately poured cold water over my plans.
“You can check, but all communication operators have signed confidentiality agreements. Only in the case of national security, or involving major criminal offenses, can these records be checked. The premise is that the public security department must have opened a case and reported it o the relevant departments for approval…”
“Even if you work in the telecommunications bureau, if you do not meet the requirements, there is a possibility of losing your job or even jail. I won’t beg my classmate to help you check the content of text messages, what’s in the text message that is that important?”
Pri… prison? I may end up in prison if I want to find out about the class leader’s text message. The class leader isn’t even a police officer yet, but why does it feel like the legal department is part of the class leader’s family?
The class leader is taking advantage of her position to bully others. I’m going to report her to a women’s association.
