Chapter 310: Snatching a Partner
Chapter 310: Snatching a Partner
After the exam, Li Kailang carried his things, got on his bike and returned to the courtyard.
"I can finally have a good rest." Li Kailang spread his arms and lay straight on the bed.
Not only other students felt tired, but Li Kailang too.
On the contrary, he felt more pressure. After all, others only needed to get a passing score, but Li Kailang had to get 90 points.
The difficulty is different, and the pressure is naturally different. Fortunately, the results are good and I passed the assessment requirements.
"In August or September, I will be able to enter the second grade and strive to graduate in three years."
After the exam, Li Kailang has completed one year and has two years left.
If everything goes well, he will be able to graduate in 61 and receive a college or bachelor's degree.
No matter which one, it is much better than his current junior high school education.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel outside. Li Kailang listened carefully and found that it was Liu Guangqi and Chen Tongjing in the backyard.
"These two people don't usually meet each other, why are they arguing? Let's go and check it out!"
Li Kailang jumped up from the bed in an instant, ran out of the door and walked towards the backyard.
Many people in the back house and the front yard heard the noise and ran to the backyard.
"Chen Tongjing, what do you mean by this? Are you blind? This is my girlfriend, do you want to steal my girl?"
Liu Guangqi glared at Chen Tongjing who looked indifferent.
Chen Tongjing retorted: "Hey, hey, hey, Liu Guangqi, what are you talking about? What do you mean I'm trying to steal your girlfriend? I asked around, and her father doesn't acknowledge you."
"Since her father doesn't recognize her, then you two have no status. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Why can't I pursue her?"
As he spoke, Chen Tongjing looked at Zhang Lan, the protagonist of this incident, and actually raised his eyebrows to signal her.
Although Zhang's father did not acknowledge the relationship between Liu Guangqi and Zhang Lan, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were a couple, but Chen Tongjing did not mention it at all.
His behavior of stealing someone else's girlfriend made everyone feel ashamed.
"Chen Tongjing!" Liu Guangqi gritted his teeth in hatred and stared at Chen Tongjing with a ferocious look.
Ever since Zhang Lan visited the Liu family and said that she would not marry anyone but Liu Guangqi, she was confined to her room by Zhang's father for a period of time.
In the end, he couldn't overcome Zhang Lan's willfulness and let her go, but this did not mean that Zhang's father was optimistic about Liu Guangqi.
Although their relationship has progressed, their behavior has become stricter than before.
Whenever Liu Guangqi wanted to do something out of line, someone would come out to stop him.
During this period, Zhang's father even deliberately arranged some trouble for Liu Guangqi, hoping that Liu Guangqi would give up, but this made him more and more courageous.
He became more determined to pursue Zhang Lan, and even started to have some little ideas.
Seeing Liu Guangqi had nothing to say, Chen Tongjing was secretly delighted and then added insult to injury:
"What? Liu Guangqi, you have nothing to say, right? I know that her father doesn't recognize you, and you've been pursuing her for half a year and it still hasn't worked."
"I think you are no longer capable of giving happiness to this girl. I think you should stop wasting her time and let her go."
Chen Tongjing's words speaking for Zhang Lan seemed reasonable, but in fact they were full of trickery.
Although women now hold up half the sky, most women have no say in their marriages due to their parents’ and matchmakers’ decisions.
Liu Guangqi shouted, "Chen Tongjing, stop pretending. Aren't you doing this to pursue Xiaolan?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Tongjing, and his little thoughts were exposed.
"Hey, I didn't expect Chen Tongjing to have such thoughts. I was almost fooled by him."
"Me too, but this girl is really good. If I were younger, I would pursue her too."
"Chasing someone? You old man, I've lived with you for decades, you must be disgusted with me!"
A woman suddenly grabbed her husband's ear and twisted it suddenly.
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, I didn't mean that, don't think about it!" The husband grabbed the woman's hand and begged for mercy.
The men nearby all moved away from him, even from their wives, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.
"Is this old Zhang stupid? He dared to say such a thing with his wife next to him. Fortunately, I didn't say anything."
No matter what others think, Chen Tongjing looks indifferent.
He didn't like Zhang Lan at all, he just felt disgusted by Liu Guangqi.
I recall how great Liu Guangqi was in the past. He was the only one in the entire college who went to a technical secondary school. He was very popular and everyone praised him.
Those who were of the same generation as Liu Guangqi in the yard were compared with Liu Guangqi, and they would inevitably be beaten up afterwards.
Chen Tongjing had long harbored disgust and hatred towards Liu Guangqi, and what he did today was purely to vent his anger for his past self.
Talking about single-pointed generals is purely looking for trouble and deliberately trying to disgust Liu Guangqi.
Since Liu Guangqi had misunderstood him, Chen Tongjing simply admitted it, "Yes, I do like Zhang Lan, so what do you think?"
"Since Zhang Lan's father hasn't acknowledged your relationship, that means Zhang Lan doesn't have a partner. Let's compete fairly and see who Zhang Lan likes."
"Bah!" Liu Guangqi was so angry that he spat out saliva.
"Chen Tongjing, you are dreaming! Who would compete with you fairly? Everyone in the yard knows that Xiaolan is my girlfriend. You are trying to steal her away!"
What Liu Guangqi said was true. Chen Tongjing's behavior was indeed morally wrong, so some people opposed Chen Tongjing.
"Chen family boy, what Liu Guangqi said makes sense. They are together, how can you break them up and interfere with them? This is immoral."
Chen Tongjing said, "Alas, Uncle Zhao, you are going too far. I am pursuing future happiness, how can I bring morality into this?"
"Besides, it's his father who doesn't acknowledge Liu Guangqi, not me. Zhang Lan's father doesn't acknowledge him, so they are not a couple. What's wrong with me giving it a try?"
"Besides, how can I be better than Liu Guangqi? I am now a third-level fitter, while Liu Guangqi is just a warehouse manager!"
Chen Tongjing is a third-level fitter and earns 45.2 yuan per month. Liu Guangqi is a warehouse attendant and although he is a cadre, he only earns 37.5 yuan per month.
The most important thing is that if nothing unexpected happens, Chen Tongjing will be able to continue to be promoted to a higher level, but Liu Guangqi will have to stay in the warehouse for the rest of his life.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who spoke for Liu Guangqi immediately shut up and watched how Liu Guangqi would deal with it.
Although Liu Guangqi was born in a technical secondary school and is a cadre, his current position is indeed not very good, even lower than some people in the courtyard.
Chen Tongjing looked at Liu Guangqi, "Liu Guangqi, if you don't want me to pursue Zhang Lan, it's not impossible."
"Well, you can tell everyone that you, Liu Guangqi, are not as good as me, so I can be merciful and not pursue Zhang Lan."
After saying that, Chen Tongjing straightened his head and chest, then raised his hand to signal Liu Guangqi to speak.
"Impossible, Xiao Lan doesn't like you at all, so don't dream on!"
Liu Guangqi glared at Chen Tongjing ferociously; his self-esteem would not allow him to say such words.
After saying that, Liu Guangqi turned to look at Zhang Lan and pointed at Chen Tongjing.
"Xiao Lan, tell me, do you look down on him at all? Tell me!"
Zhang Lan was frightened by Liu Guangqi's ferocious appearance. It was the first time she saw Liu Guangqi lose his composure like this.
But no matter what Chen Tongjing said, she has always liked Liu Guangqi in her heart and that has not changed. She is undoubtedly in love.
Everyone looked at Zhang Lan expectantly, waiting for her to give a different answer, but Liu Haizhong's eyes revealed a hint of madness. "Say you don't like him, you don't like him, say it quickly!" Liu Haizhong muttered viciously.
Zhang Lan was a great help in his promotion to workshop director. With the example of Guo Dapiaozi, Liu Haizhong did not think that he could not compare with Guo Dapiaozi.
As long as he has the help of Zhang's father, it is a sure thing for him to become the workshop director.
Now he would not allow anyone to ruin his plan!
Being stared at by everyone, Zhang Lan couldn't help but feel a little scared. He looked at Chen Tongjing, whose eyes were full of love, and then looked at Liu Guangqi, whose ferocious look revealed madness.
Zhang Lan lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering left and right, as if he was really thinking about this problem seriously.
But she remembered what her mother and best friend had told her to do, that when faced with a choice, she should pretend to be hesitant.
Make men feel a sense of crisis, let them cherish themselves, and don't let them feel that it is easy to get you.
The simple Zhang Lan didn't understand what it meant, but she obeyed and did as she was told, pretending to be hesitant.
But her thinking made Liu Guangqi and Liu Haizhong feel uneasy and flustered, but also surprised Chen Tongjing.
"Could it be that Zhang Lan really likes me?" Chen Tongjing couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. It seems that his charm is quite good.
"Why is Xiaolan looking at Chen Tongjing? Could it be that Xiaolan is really interested in him..." Liu Guangqi watched and felt something was wrong.
"Xiao Lan, you have to think carefully. This Chen Tongjing is not a good person. He was uneducated and did a lot of bad things in the past."
"Also, he hasn't even graduated from middle school and doesn't like studying. He's not worthy of you and you're not a good match."
Listening to Liu Guangqi belittling him, Chen Tongjing shouted, "Liu Guangqi, stop saying bad things about me!"
Seeing Chen Tongjing panic, Liu Guangqi was very happy.
"I said something bad about you? Where did I say that? I was clearly telling the truth. Ask everyone, is there anything I said that is false?"
"You!" Chen Tongjing pointed at Liu Guangqi angrily, but couldn't say a word in rebuttal, and looked at Zhang Lan.
"Comrade Zhang Lan, I admit that I didn't do well in the past, but that was in the past. I am better now and will be better in the future."
"You see, I am now a third-level fitter. I am very different from before. You will have a bright future if you follow me. It will be ten or even a hundred times better than some people!"
"You're talking nonsense. How good can you get by like this?" Liu Haizhong immediately expressed his support when he saw his son was at a disadvantage.
When the two of them quarreled before, Liu Guangqi had the upper hand and he didn't need support, but he couldn't do that now.
Chen's mother also spoke up immediately: "You are talking nonsense, Liu Haizhong, your son is like this, he went to a technical secondary school and only got a job as a warehouseman, you ruined him."
"Having a father like you is ruining your son's future now, and you may even ruin your grandson's future in the future."
The second aunt yelled, "Chen bitch, what are you talking about? My son is in a technical secondary school after all, it's not something you, an illiterate person, can say!"
The two families quarreled with each other without giving in, which was very refreshing for everyone to watch. The gossip was very strong and everyone was addicted to it.
However, the protagonist of the incident, Zhang Lan, stared with wide eyes, quietly watched the quarrel between the two families, chuckling from time to time, and found it very interesting.
It was rare for her to see such a lively scene in the compound.
The two families argued for a long time, but still could not reach a conclusion.
If both families didn't want to leave a good impression in front of Zhang Lan, they would have fought each other long ago.
"Xiao Lan, say it!" Liu Guangqi suddenly shouted.
"Ah ah?" Zhang Lan finally came back to her senses after being shouted at. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she tilted her head and asked.
"What are you talking about?"
Everyone just thought that Zhang Lan was frightened and didn't know what to say, and had no idea that she had forgotten something.
"Xiao Lan, you said you don't like him!" Liu Guangqi repeated, pointing at Chen Tongjing.
Zhang Lan looked at Chen Tongjing, and this time he did not hesitate, and bowed to Chen Tongjing, "You are a good person, but I'm sorry, you and I are not suitable."
Chen Tongjing said it was impossible for him not to be sad after being rejected by a beautiful woman, but fortunately he didn't have this idea from the beginning.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Tongjing calmed down and no longer cared about being rejected.
Liu Guangqi laughed loudly and mocked, "Hahaha, Chen Tongjing, look at you, look at you, you still want to steal my girl, you are still a little naive!"
"Hmph!" Chen Tongjing could only snort in dissatisfaction.
But Liu Haizhong breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, fortunately, my daughter-in-law didn't run away."
This crow's mouth in Liu Haizhong is bound to get what he fears.
After Zhang Lan bowed, he looked around at the crowd watching the fun, including Liu Guangqi, Liu Jia, and Chen Tongjing.
Suddenly he said to Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, I'm leaving first."
After Liu Guangqi heard these unclear words, Zhang Lan turned and ran away.
Everyone looked at this nonsensical scene in silence, and watched Zhang Lan run away, at a loss as to what to do.
"What's going on? Didn't she refuse? Why is she running away?"
"I don't know? Could it be that this girl is really interested in Chen Tongjing and feels that she can't lose face?"
"Don't talk nonsense there."
"Son, go chase him!" The second aunt reacted and hurriedly pushed Liu Guangqi.
"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, wait for me!" Liu Guangqi immediately chased after her.
Mother Chen laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the girl ran away, it seems that she has seen through what you are like."
The second aunt yelled, "Chen bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Mother Chen was not afraid at all: "Oh my, I'm so scared. Come on, try it. Look how scared you are. It's like you're afraid that my son will be snatched away from you."
"You are so afraid that the girl will run away, don't you have some ulterior motive? Ah!"
"You're talking nonsense. Stop talking nonsense." The second aunt retorted in panic.
"Bitch Chen, my son and Xiaolan are in love with each other. They like each other. I don't allow you to say bad things about them." Liu Haizhong agreed, strongly denying the breakup.
But the two men's guilty rebuttal made everyone think wildly, it seemed that they really had some ulterior motive.
But everyone couldn't help but be curious about the purpose of this.
"Go, go, go." Liu Haizhong waved his arms in panic, signaling the second aunt and the Liu Guangtian brothers to go home.
"Hey, Second Uncle, don't go. Tell me what your purpose is!" Xu Damao shouted loudly at an inappropriate time.
Everyone looked at him with admiration and secretly gave him a thumbs up. He was indeed the fearless Xu Damao who dared to ask such a question.
"Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. What's the purpose of that?"
Liu Haizhong said this and closed the door in a hurry.
"Oh, I'm leaving now. What a pity, I didn't get the answer." Xu Damao shook his head regretfully.
"Let's go."
There was nothing exciting to watch, so everyone left the backyard and went home.
