Before Song Miaomiao left, she told Shi Lei to wait patiently. This was such a big thing and even if the Yu family had extreme powers, they couldn’t possibly start before the New Year. Even if the Yu family couldn’t wait, none of their allies were going to pick a time like this.
“Have a New Year in peace. I agreed that I will talk to my grandpa and I will. But you can’t panic because I can’t tell my grandpa straightforwardly to decline. He won’t agree even if I did. It’s impossible for my Dad to give Yu Banzhi any definite answers at a time like this if I give him some information.”
Shi Lei nodded and watched Song Miaomiao drive away, feeling somewhat guilty.
No matter what was the source of Song Miaomiao’s feelings were for him, Shi Lei understood that Song Miaomiao would only talk with her grandpa purely for the sake of him. This point alone was enough to make Shi Lei feel anxious.
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, there were three days left until the 30th and one day left until the calculation day.
Shi Lei asked before and he had 37,000 yuan left. He used over 10,000 yuan for buying things for the new house and he had more than 20,000 yuan left.
He must finish spending the money today or he won’t be able to complete the mission.
Shi Lei walked slowly along the streets of Runzhou. Although it was almost the New Year, people were still busy as usual and no one had time to care about Shi Lei who didn’t have a good rest and looked sick.
He went past a mall and there was a sale at the front. Shi Lei went over and they were selling massage chairs.
Thinking that his father was still recovering at home and the new house still seemed somewhat empty, Shi Lei picked up the promotion flyer. The most expensive one was 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. The cheapest was over 10,000 yuan. He asked if they could deliver it today and the seller said that they could immediately deliver and install it. If he paid now, he could go back with the delivering truck.
Hence, Shi Lei bought one for about 20,000 yuan and when the seller was putting the chair onto the delivery truck, he went to the lower ground and bought a large number of snacks, finally spending the money for this month.
After making sure that there was nothing left behind, Shi Lei walked out of the mall with bags of different sizes in his hands. The seller finished preparing the things he bought and Shi Lei finally went home.
Shi Lei’s mother saw that Shi Lei bought a massage chair and remembered that he didn’t come back last night. She couldn’t help but complain. Her expressions were odd as she knew that it was a girl who asked Shi Lei out last night and she was worried that Shi Lei would do something wrong outside.
Shi Lei wasn’t in the mood to explain and only said that he needed to sleep. On the other hand, Shi Zhongping happily watched the workers set up the massage chair and tried using it.
Shi Lei’s mother was muttering something to Shi Zhongping in a lower voice and Shi Lei could hear parts of the conversation in bed in his room. He then heard Shi Zhongping’s reply, “Shitou has grown up now and he has his own thinking. We shouldn’t butt into young people’s business too much. I believe that my son knows what he’s doing.”
He didn’t wake up until the afternoon and Shi Lei was still worried. He tried calling Wei Xingyue again and her phone was still turned off. Shi Lei couldn’t understand; if Wei Xingyue was only in Didu for the godfather who may not even acknowledge her anymore just like what Song Miaomiao said, why did she have to cut connections with all of the outside world?
After dinner, Shi Lei received a phone call. It was from Bai Shu and Shi Lei was rather surprised.
“Brother-in-law…” Bai Shu was as passionate as he was yesterday after the call connected.
Shi Lei had a migraine as he walked to the balcony and lowered his voice, “Can you stop calling me that? I should be two years older than you. Call me Brother Shitou.”
“But you are my brother-in-law. Aiyo, I’m telling you. I know Sister Shui very well. When she looks at you, her eyes say it all. She’s definitely so in love with you that she would do anything…”
“If you are going to be like this, I’m going to block you,” Shi Lei could only use this ace card. When Shi Lei had to face Bai Shu, it wasn’t the way he addressed him that made him troubled. It was Bai Shu’s talkativeness.
Bai Shu laughed awkwardly, “Alright, I’ll still call you brother-in-law if there are no outsiders. If there is, I’ll call you Brother Shitou.”
“Do you need something from me?”
“Of course. I’m inviting you to a party. What do you think? How was the party last night?”
Shi Lei declined subtly, “I’m not really interested in that. Go have fun yourself.”
“Don’t worry about it. Sister Shui left. Tell me which long legs you like. Two or three women are fine too. We are men; Brother Shitou, there’s no need to pretend with me.”
Shi Lei’s headache became worse and he couldn’t understand what was wrong with kids nowadays. Bai Shu was only nineteen or twenty years old and was younger than him. He should be out of the city studying at a university, but he was much more mature when talking about these kinds of things.
“I’m really not interested in this. Don’t consider me when you have these activities…” Shi Lei was speaking but heard a voice which seemed familiar, calling Bai Shu’s name.
He pondered for a while and thought that it should be Vice Mayor Bai.
“Brother Shitou, wait a minute. My Dad is calling me,” Bai Shu lowered his voice and called out with the phone in his hands, “Dad, I’m making a call. What’s up?!”
Vice Mayor Bai’s voice wasn’t loud but Shi Lei could more or less hear it, “I’m heading out and I’ll be back late. Brat, don’t go out today because your Mum didn’t take her keys. She won’t be able to get in without you.”
“Aiyo, I can’t. I already promised someone to go out. I’m only back for a few days every year. Please let me go.”
“Oi, you are really spoiled, aren’t you? With those friends of yours, wouldn’t the activities be all in the second half of the night? Leave later. Wait for your Mum to come back first.”
“Can’t you just wait at home yourself? Which guest is so important?!” Bai Shu complained with dissatisfaction.
Vice Mayor Bai sighed, “I don’t really want to see this person either, but he’s one of the top families in Wudong. Although I’m from the Song family, I need to survive in the Jiangdong districts and I can’t afford to offend him. Ah, you won’t understand even if I tell you. Alright, wait for your Mum at home. It’s decided.”
Bai Shu panicked, “I can’t. I have plans with Sister Shui’s boyfriend.”
“Miss Song’s boyfriend? Are you talking about the boy with the surname Shi?”
“Yes, Brother Shitou. Why, do you know him too? Oh right. Sister Shui treats Brother Shitou so well. He’s from Runzhou too and she would definitely make connections for him.”
Vice Mayor Bai fell silent at this. Of course, he knew how much Song Miaomiao cared about Shi Lei and he knew how much Shi Lei influenced Song Miaomiao. The closeness between Song Miaomiao and Shi Lei was even acknowledged by Song Miaomiao’s grandfather. Song Miaomiao’s father wasn't so happy with Shi Lei as she was a girl and it was bad to be so ambiguous with a boy. However, her grandfather said, “Young people have their own thinking. That Shi Lei can make my rebellious granddaughter change and if anyone dares to talk bad about their relationship, tell them to talk about it in front of me.” Then, Secretary Song never really asked about their relationship again.
So it was Shi Lei. Then Bai Shu had to keep a good relationship with him as he was someone with great potential.
“Alright, you can go then. I’ll arrange for someone to give the keys to your Mum.”
