Chapter 73: Chen Fatty, the Biggest Troublemaker

Chen Mengyun and Xu Xuejiao stood awkwardly in the Lu family's courtyard.

Chen Mengyun spoke first: "Do you... like Chengwen?"

"Ah?" Xu Xuejiao felt embarrassed as if she had stolen Chen Mengyun's boyfriend.

"Um, yes... yes."

"Why? You said you liked him before, but I thought you were joking. Didn't you hate him the most?"

"I did before..." Xu Xuejiao sighed. "But... a few days ago, when I went to treat Grandpa Chen, I... suddenly realized... I could hear Brother Lu's inner thoughts, very clearly. You might think I'm crazy, but I really can hear them, even with the tone of his voice."

Chen Mengyun smiled sadly: "Me too, and from what I've observed, so can Leng Qingqiu."

Xu Xuejiao said: "Then you can understand me, right? I mean... I hated him before. I felt like this person was capable of anything, especially since he was both scummy and annoying. Later, he stopped being scummy and became a bootlicker, which was simply disgusting."

"But then... I heard his inner voice and realized that his thoughts are often good. This person is so strange. He wants to do good deeds in his heart, but he pretends to be a big bad guy. He doesn't want people to know when he does good deeds and even deliberately leads others to misunderstand him. It's as if he wants to be far away from everyone and wants everyone to be far away from him."

Chen Mengyun nodded: "He has indeed changed a lot recently, I've noticed it too. This person... although he is fierce to me, I can feel that he doesn't hate me. I believe he still has feelings for me."

Xu Xuejiao couldn't respond to this.

He has feelings for you, and he has feelings for Leng Qingqiu. So what am I?

Chen Mengyun, also a girl, immediately understood Xu Xuejiao's thoughts and changed the subject: "Why do you think such a strange thing is happening? How can we hear his inner thoughts? It's so weird."

With the topic changed, Xu Xuejiao immediately said excitedly: "I've been researching it for a long time, and it feels very strange! It seems like only certain people can hear it. I don't think Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, or Zhao Gang can hear it."

Xu Xuejiao deliberately challenged Chen Mengyun: "Being able to hear his inner voice makes me feel very secure. I'm not afraid of him lying to me, I'm not afraid of him becoming bad, I know how good his heart is, how loyal and filial he is. And he really hasn't messed around much in the past three years."

Chen Mengyun thought to herself, You're praising him? Who are you to praise him?

"That's right." Chen Mengyun smiled on the surface, her voice gentle, as if echoing Xu Xuejiao. In reality, she was secretly competing:

"When he was a child with me, he was very innocent. Although he was a little naughty, he was very attentive and took good care of people. Later... during puberty, he was handsome and rich, so it was too easy for him to find girls. Occasionally going out for a fling is understandable. What boy in his teens isn't curious about this kind of thing? It's simply unstoppable."

The implication was that she had already come to terms with the past and didn't care at all. They were the real childhood sweethearts with a strong emotional foundation.

Xu Xuejiao smiled slightly, secretly competing:

"Although I haven't known him for long, we have really experienced a lot together. Especially today, he pretended to be fierce to me, wanting to do that to me in the car... but I heard all his inner thoughts! He was just waiting for me to beg for mercy! Hehe, I just wouldn't beg, and the way he was stuck between a rock and a hard place was so cute!"

At this point, the two women understood each other.

This war was inevitable.

Xu Xuejiao was officially declared: that she would never give up on pursuing Lu Chengwen. Don't talk to her about how strong their emotional foundation was or how she could forgive the past.

The man I, your sister, have my eyes on, I will never let go.

Chen Mengyun's smile became stiff, and she understood.

To get Lu Chengwen, both Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao were her rivals. She had to be better than them to win back Lu Chengwen's heart.

The two fell silent again, having nothing left to talk about.

Xu Xuejiao said awkwardly: "Then... I'll go back now, see you later."

"Hmm, be careful on the road."

At that moment, Lu Chengwen strode out, shouting: "Zhao Gang! Get the car ready!"

Seeing Chen Mengyun, he threw out a sentence: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Xu Xuejiao pushed open the car door: "Brother Chengwen, where are you going? I'll give you a ride?"

Lu Chengwen said angrily: "You should go quickly! Don't come to my house again to cause trouble. I'm completely exhausted by you today!"

"Hey! I didn't do anything to you, why are you mad at me?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[You haven't done anything? You're more of a headache than Leng Qingqiu and Chen Mengyun combined!]

[Being with you will take ten years off my life!]

But at the moment, he was in no mood to talk nonsense with her: "I have urgent matters, no time to deal with you."

Chen Mengyun heard Lu Chengwen's inner voice and felt very happy.

And both girls knew that the other could hear it, which made it even more meaningful. Chen Mengyun suddenly felt smug.

"Brother Chengwen, I'll give you a ride since you're in a hurry."

Lu Chengwen thought:

[No, I can't let Chen Mengyun give me a ride. This girl is too gentle and easily frightened.]

He immediately said with a straight face: "Go back to where you came from!"

[Time is tight, and it's too torturous to stand here with both of them.]

Lu Chengwen directly pulled Xu Xuejiao's driver down: "Get down, get down."

"Mr. Lu, I am..."

"You can report who you are later, get out of the car, leave the car keys. Xuejiao, get out of the car, I'll have Zhao Gang take you back later."

"No way! This is my car!"

Lu Chengwen had no time to talk nonsense with them: "Then sit tight!"

With a step on the gas, the car drove away.

Xu Xuejiao was very proud.

Hehe, in the end, you still fell into my hands!

Xu Xuejiao wrapped her arms around Lu Chengwen's neck from the back seat and said in a very sweet voice: "Brother Chengwen, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Lu Chengwen was annoyed: "I'm driving! I'm driving! Sit back, sit back! Fatty Chen is being blocked, I have to go save him."

Xu Xuejiao said: "What does 'being blocked' mean?"

"It means he's being surrounded, probably by a lot of people. If I'm late, this kid might get hurt."

"Wow! That's dangerous!"

"I'll let you off at the intersection ahead, and you can call your family to pick you up."

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of danger, I'll just follow you."

Lu Chengwen said impatiently: "Then sit still, don't get out of the car when we get there, lock the doors."

Lu Chengwen's driving skills were excellent, and the car itself had excellent performance. He overtook cars all the way, arriving at a relatively remote section of the road.

Sure enough, there were several cars ahead, trapping a sports car in the middle.

About twenty people, carrying sticks, were smashing the car and shouting:

"Get out here, you fatso!"

"Damn it, don't be a coward!"

"You can't escape today!"

The sports car was hit by several cars and was completely deformed. The headlights and windshield were broken, and the windows had been smashed with holes. Someone was poking inside with a stick, and another guy pulled out a knife, ready to stab Fatty Chen inside.

Lu Chengwen was shocked.

What kind of grudge did they have to want to kill Fatty Chen?

Lu Chengwen's expression became serious. He said in a deep voice: "Xuejiao, hold on tight!"

"Oh!"

Lu Chengwen floored the accelerator. The roar of the car immediately startled the group. They saw that the speed and sound of the car were not to be messed with and quickly moved out of the way.

Lu Chengwen's car crashed directly into a sedan, which then hit another car and a few people.

Lu Chengwen unbuckled his seat belt and said with a stern face: "Stay in the car, lock the doors."

Xu Xuejiao said worriedly: "Brother Chengwen, be careful!"

Lu Chengwen pushed open the door, took off his watch, and walked towards the crowd.

A young man pointed a stick at Lu Chengwen: "Damn it, can you drive? Didn't you see Brother Jun doing business here?"

Lu Chengwen stepped on the hood of a sports car and walked directly onto the roof.

Xu Xuejiao's eyes instantly turned into stars.

So fucking cool!

At this moment, Lu Chengwen showed no fear of facing a dozen or twenty people.

He had the aura of "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil"!

Xu Xuejiao liked it!

She liked this kind of man! Just like the great heroes in the storytelling books!

And he walked directly on the roofs of the cars, stepping from one to another.

Full of domineering, not afraid at all!

A group of underlings pointed their sticks at Lu Chengwen:

"Get the fuck down here, you little brat!"

Lu Chengwen stood on top of an SUV: "Who's in charge here?"

From a distance, a man stood up in an open-top off-road vehicle, embracing two glamorous beauties, and picked up a loudspeaker: "Damn! You're pretty arrogant, kid! Who are you?"

The sports car's sunroof was smashed open, and Chen Moqun crawled out with a baseball bat.

Fatty Chen's head was covered in blood. Seeing Lu Chengwen, he laughed out loud, very arrogant.

"Good brother! I fucking knew you'd come! I only have one brother in my life, and that's you, Lu Chengwen."

Lu Chengwen frowned: "Why did you come out? How are you?"

"I won't die." Fatty Chen climbed out, stood on his sports car, and held up the baseball bat: "Erlong, I'll fuck you up! Didn't you want to cripple me? My brother is here, I'm telling you, if you want to cripple me, you have to cripple my brother first!"

He turned to Lu Chengwen and said: "Where are the brothers you brought? Don't hide anymore, come out, let's fight it out!"

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "It's just me."

Fatty Chen's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

He then suddenly understood: "Oh! You want to launch a surprise attack, right? Okay, okay, listen up, it's just the two of us brothers today, not a single brother in ambush! Come on up if you're not afraid of death, fuck! That kid, you, the one with the yellow hair, don't you dare run, I'm gonna chase you down today!"

Lu Chengwen understood that Fatty Chen's life was too boring.

Just buying cars, modifying cars, playing with yachts, and hooking up with various girls...

Even a life like a fairy would have become dull after a long time.

Now he was excited, feeling his chuunibyou spirit burning again.

Lu Chengwen said: "Shut up."

He turned to look at the leader: "You're called Erlong? Why are you beating up my brother?"

Erlong tilted his head and held the microphone: "Do I need a reason to beat him up?"

Lu Chengwen said: "I thought you were a reasonable person, let's talk things out first. I'm always up for a fight, but I also need to know what happened."

Erlong laughed: "Sorry, my style is to fight first and talk later! Ten minutes later, if you're still standing, I'll reason with you slowly!"

Erlong roared: "Brothers! Cripple them!"
