Everyone Knows I’m a Good Person-Chapter 125.2
Chapter 125.2
Editor: Sahloknir
When the Jiang family and Shi family sent people out to inquire about the incident, both obtained the same result.
It was so chaotic at the time that no one saw who pushed Shi Qing.
But even though everyone lied and the matter was written off, by the time the people from the two families left they were still punished by their own families.
After all, with the exception of the Shi family, these families in Crane City had no shortage of heirs.
Of course punishment was in order when the child you worked hard to raise brought trouble back home. The ones who were favoured were lucky since they were just reprimanded.
But the sons that didn’t stand out or were unfavoured were in a pickle.
The most unfortunate ones were beaten with a paddle, the slightly luckier ones were told to copy books, and the even luckier ones were just placed under house arrest so they couldn’t get into any more trouble.
Yes, in this chaotic and confusing world, every family was cautious to the extreme. They considered it a crime to just watch people fight.
Just look at how at least three people were still under house arrest today.
When those two young masters fought, the true victims were the pitiful witnesses.
This Young Master Lu was one of the people beaten yesterday. At least his mother noticed the situation in time and quickly told the person carrying out the punishment to hold back. That was the only reason he wasn’t bedridden right now.
This guy was truly scared because of the incident yesterday. He went to cajole Shi Qing with a 12,000% smile on his face.
The little master’s twisted expression eased a bit due to his attitude.
Just a little bit, enough to give this person some face.
This Young Master Lu was relieved to see Shi Qing’s consideration for him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling a little grateful to the little master.
I thought Shi Qng was just a spoiled brat that was too arrogant for his own good. Seems like he isn’t so unapproachable after all.
Then he turned back to look at Jiang Liye. Right now, that guy was still sitting there with an ugly expression and no intention of moving.
His high and mighty act made a hundred thousand grass mud horses run across the plains of Young Master Lu’s heart.
Get it together bro! You’re the one who pissed him off, not me!!
Of course he’s angry, he caught you red-handed badmouthing him in front of so many people! But why are you getting angry too?? You’re clearly the one in the wrong here!!
Relying on other people to smooth things over for you instead of just apologizing and making things right yourself…
Just how shameless are you?!!
Young Master Lu wasn’t afraid to admit that he got close to Jiang Liye so he could mooch off him a bit. It was understandable to vie for more resources in the current state of the world.
But he’s been following this guy for a long time. Even a lackey could become a friend with enough time, right?
But judging by Jiang Liye’s reaction and attitude, he clearly thought of Young Master Lu as just a lackey.
And a disposable one at that.
Young Master Lu was beaten up last night, and now he had to smile and appease people&#k2026;
He was a young master too, okay?
What did this Jiang Liye take him for? A pauper that has to hug his thigh to live?!
As if he didn’t notice that his attitude had made Young Master Lu displeased with Jiang Liye, Shi Qing gave him a casual look before saying with a straight face,
“Is there a more private place around?”
Since this was an entertainment establishment, there were naturally curtained off areas around so that guests could do you know what with their server in relative privacy.
Think about it: the people outside wouldn’t be able to see what was going on, but the two sides would be close enough to carry on a conversation.
And whatever went on behind that curtain, whatever the guest did or did to their server, well…everyone else could only speculate based on the sounds.
This exciting way of playing around was always popular.
It was just that in the past, Shi Qing only showed interest towards eating, drinking and having fun. He had never shown any inclination towards the fairer sex. Thus, everyone in the room was stunned with his sudden request.
Had this little master from Jiangnan been enlightened?
This wasn’t Young Master Lu’s area of expertise any more. He retreated to the side and watched as A-Zheng stood up and laughed brightly.
“Naturally. Servant! Right this way.”
Straight away, he lifted the curtain next to everyone. There was indeed a small bed inside with a plush leather blanket spread over it and a fire basin on the floor.
Shi Qing gave the area a careful look. He quickly caught on to what should be caught.
On the table to the side, there were some tools that should definitely have mosaics placed on them.
A-Zheng even sincerely pulled open the drawer and showed Shi Qing what was inside with a bit of pride.
“There’s these as well. They’re all from those foreigners. I heard they really spice things up. Anyways, you’ll know what I mean once you use them.”
He was kind enough to introduce the mosaics and offer an explanation as well, “This place was recently built so no one’s used these yet. I’ve reserved a place for each of you that won’t be rented out to anyone else, so everyone, feel free to treat this as a place to relax.”
The atmosphere in the room, which had become slightly stifling due to the sudden arrival of Shi Qing and Jiang Liye’s ugly expression, was slowly eased by this thoughtful arrangement.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“Hehe. In that case, then little brother is welcome.”
A-Zheng grew more and more proud, “There’s no need to be polite. I’ve also arranged quite a few beautiful women for everyone. They will be brought here shortly.”
The smiles of the men in the room became a few degrees warmer. Even Jiang Liye’s complexion looked a little better.
Shi Qing coldly interjected, “You don’t need to arrange any women for me. I’ve brought someone already.”
At once, the eyes of the crowd fell on him again.
He brought someone with him?
Then where is she?
Everyone looked around again, but there was no woman with Shi Qing.
Some of them glanced at Jiang Bieyu, but they dismissed him as he was a grown man with a clearly strong and tall build.
The air was immediately filled with suspicion.
Jiang Liye even snorted, “What do you mean you brought someone with you? You’ve been up here for so long but no woman’s come in. You probably can’t even get it up based on that wimpy body of yours. Is this an excuse because you don’t want to do it here?”
Anxiety flashed by in A-Zheng’s eyes.
At this moment, he really wanted to go back in time and give his past self, who invited Jiang Liye here, several big slaps on the mouth.
Jiang Liye…what a piece of work.
If he had a grudge against Shi Qing, it was fine for him to sneer and taunt and whatever. It wasn’t A-Zheng’s problem even if the two of them fought.
But why didn’t he pay attention to where he was every time he clashed with Shi Qing? This was A-Zheng’s territory, a good location that he specifically picked out.
Why did he invite all of these people here? So that they could all enjoy themselves and put in a good word for him once they go home! So they could advertise this place!
But look at what had happened. The person who would normally be the most difficult customer, Shi family’s little master, had no requests. In fact, he seemed rather interested. But Jiang Liye just had to come out and ruin everything.
If A-Zheng wasn’t very aware about how he couldn’t afford to offend Jiang Liye, he would have kicked him out already to relieve his anger.
What a shitty person, this guy. Did it kill him to see other people be happy?
However, Jiang Liye didn’t get how much he annoyed A-Zheng, nor did he notice the discontent of the young masters around him.
He had become used to behaving arrogantly outside. When Shi Qing wasn’t here yet, none of this city’s second generations dared to so much as cough in his presence. But since this new player came to town, he, the former number one Crane City second generation, had been knocked down a peg.
Since he was used to being number one, how could Jiang Liye possibly be willing to be number two now?
Therefore, he was dead set on making Shi Qing lose face. He was just dealing with a sixteen year old snot-nosed brat who was also his brother-in-law, that’s all. Was it a crime to voice his suspicions if he didn’t resort to insults or violence?
If Shi Qing had flipped out over a couple of ‘casual’ remarks, Jiang Liye would’ve been happy. That meant he still came out on top.
But it was different for Shi Qing.
At the end of the day, other people would definitely think him too hot headed because of his age.
Jiang Liye almost smiled just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Shi Qing didn’t become angry. That face, so pretty it made Jiang Liye want to grit his teeth, was even smiling right now.
“Who said this young master was bringing a woman?”
Shi Qing’s face was full of unconcealed smugness. If it wasn’t the middle of winter, he might even have taken out a fan and acted the part of a flamboyant gentleman.
“I’ve brought a boytoy.”
A boytoy?
Some of the young masters in the room were interested. Their eyes immediately lit up.
Shi Qing was known for his discerning eye.
He accepted only the best of everything, be it clothes or chess boards.
This problem that could only be the result of being spoiled rotten made many envious.
And now, he said he’s found a boytoy?
How good-looking must this boytoy be in order to satisfy the high maintenance little master of the Shi family?
The little master raised his chin in triumph under the expectant gazes of everyone. He reached out and grasped the long, slender hand of the man beside him.
He even interlocked their fingers intimately and presented their hands to everyone. There was an indescribable degree of pride on his face.
“Look, he’s my boytoy.”
Everyone: “…”
They looked at this ‘boytoy’, who was at least a head taller than Shi Qing, whose body was clearly very sturdy at a glance.
No one said anything for a long time.
As if he wasn’t satisfied with how much he had provoked them, Shi Qing actually stretched out his white arm, stood on his tiptoes, and struggled to place a hand on the neck of the man.
You must understand, this action was very difficult since he was only sixteen.
The ‘boytoy’ also lowered his head in a particularly submissive manner. He wrapped one hand around the little master’s waist and lightly rested his head on the side of Shi Qing’s neck.
Because of the huge difference in size between the two, it looked more like the man was encircling Shi Qing in his arms.
For some reason, the little master was still particularly proud of himself. While being encircled, he took the time to explain to them, “Look at how well behaved my boytoy is. He clings to me like a pitiful little birdie.”
Again, everyone was like: “…”
Where’s the pitiful little birdie supposedly clinging to you??
It’s more like a big fucking bird—
…No.
It’s more like a giant fucking bird is eating you!!!
