Chapter 99: Danger Draws Near

  The owner of these eyes is none other than Tang Jiaqiang, who made a miserable return at Old Man Song's birthday banquet.

  Although his parents forbade Tang Jiaqiang from having any further involvement with Song Le, he had always gotten what he wanted since childhood, especially when it came to pursuing girls, and Tang Jiaqiang couldn't accept the fact that he had failed this time. From that day on, he had been thinking of ways to take revenge on Xiao Ping and Song Le, and recently, he finally found a way. Today, Tang Jiaqiang originally brought people to recognize Song Le, but unexpectedly saw an unacceptable scene at the school gate.

  The middle-aged man sitting next to Tang Jiaqiang noticed his abnormality and couldn't help but ask with a cold smile: "What's wrong? You look like you're going to eat people?"

  If Xiao Ping saw this middle-aged man, he would also think that this guy was Hu Qiang, who had tried to take liberties with Zhang Yu Xin at the Blue Moonlight Bar last time. This guy was originally a socialite in the provincial city, and helping people vent their anger was also his business scope. Tang Jiaqiang's father was the deputy general manager of the Provincial Construction Group, which was considered a high-ranking official by Hu Qiang's standards. Moreover, this young master Tang was willing to spend money, so Hu Qiang would personally accompany him on this trip.

  "Hey, Brother Hu, see that girl in the blue down jacket at the school gate?" Tang Jiaqiang said viciously: "I'm going to teach her a lesson! And that guy with her is also going to get it, I'll pay double the price!"

  Hu Qiang first saw Song Lei and couldn't help but whistle softly: "The little girl is pretty good, Tang Da Shao, how can you bear to ruin her face with nitric acid?"

  Tang Jiaqiang gritted his teeth and said: "This cheap woman made me lose face, I won't let her off!"

  "Alright, you're the customer, whatever you say goes." Hu Qiang shrugged indifferently and said: "Xiao Qi, follow that little girl and wait for an opportunity to make a move, quickly take action and give Tang Da Shao an explanation!"

  "Got it, boss!" A man with scars on his face in the front row responded coldly and opened the car door to get out.

  At the same time, Hu Qiang's attention shifted to Xiao Ping. When he saw Xiao Ping clearly, he was immediately shocked and couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart: "It's actually this little rascal! I've been looking for him for a long time, didn't expect them all to gather together, great, excellent!"

  Recently, the encounter at the entrance of the Blue Moonlight Bar was considered a great humiliation by Hu Qiang. Not only did he lose the girl who was about to fall into his hands, but he also got beaten up himself. Since then, Hu Qiang has been searching for Xiao Ping everywhere, and unexpectedly, he is also one of Tang Jiaqiang's rivals in love, which can be said to be a gathering of grievances.

  Although secretly approving in his heart, Hu Qiang still pretended to be unfamiliar with Xiao Ping on the surface and asked Tang Jiaqiang: "Tang Da Shao, how do you plan to teach that man a lesson?"

  "I'll break his two legs and make him a cripple for life!" Tang Jiaqiang said venomously: "Let them be a cripple and an ugly freak, let them live together for the rest of their lives!"

  In Hu Qiang's view, it wasn't worth making such a big deal over a woman. However, since Tang Jiaqiang had spoken up, he wouldn't refuse, and nodded calmly: "Alright, I'll do as you say! I'll get my men to take care of it ASAP, Young Master Tang can just wait for the good news!"

  Tang Jiaqiang nodded reluctantly, opened the car door and got out. Hu Qiang let the driver drive away, he still had something very important to do today, and couldn't waste all his time on this matter.

  Xiao Ping and Song Lei were completely unaware of the danger approaching. As it was already lunchtime, Xiao Ping naturally invited Song Lei to eat. Originally, Xiao Ping wanted to invite Song Lei to a better restaurant, but Little Chili had class in the afternoon, so the two could only make do with a meal at a nearby restaurant near the school.

  Compared to the last time they had dinner together at Raffles Western Restaurant, Song Le's mood was much better today. She talked a lot during the meal, chattering non-stop. Xiao Ping also liked Song Le's outgoing personality, so he smiled and listened to her talk.

  Song Lei's topic is very broad. First, tell Xiao Ping that since Grandpa's birthday banquet, Tang Jiaqiang has never come to bother himself again, it seems he really gave up. And Song Lei's uncle and aunt no longer dared to mention introducing a boyfriend to her, seeing her parents also being more polite. What made Song Lei happiest was that after the Spring Festival holiday, her parents' work was transferred to a position with both light workload and high salary.

  Song Le stopped here, her bright and beautiful eyes staring at Xiao Ping without blinking: "All these changes are because of you, every time I think about it, I am very grateful, my impression of you is getting better and better!"

  Xiao Ping knew that only Song Lei would speak so directly, so he also spoke very directly: "Actually, you don't need to take these things to heart. I'm doing this because I quite like you too, and being able to help you makes me happy."

  Song Lei's mood became extremely pleasant when she heard Xiao Ping say that he liked her, and she began to talk more. Next, Song Lei mentioned the opinions of her relatives towards Xiao Ping. Since Old Man Song's birthday banquet, everyone had a high evaluation of Xiao Ping. Her uncle and aunt even suggested inviting Xiao Ping for dinner several times, but were rejected by her. Song Lei wasn't foolish, of course she knew why her uncle and aunt wanted to invite Xiao Ping for dinner, she didn't want her simple relationship with Xiao Ping to be entangled in too many benefits.

  What made Little Chili feel most proud was that both Grandpa and Uncle Song Tianming had high praise for Xiao Ping. Being able to get the two people with the highest cultural level in the family to compliment Xiao Ping nonstop, even Song Lei felt very proud.

  Seeing Song Le say happily, Xiao Ping couldn't help but tease her: "So you're saying that the adults in your family have all accepted me, and they're just waiting for me to propose?"

  Every time she saw Xiao Ping's complacent look, Song Lei couldn't help but want to strike him down. She wrinkled her nose and said: "You think you're so great, they said it doesn't count, this girl hasn't accepted you yet!"

  But Xiao La Jiao immediately worried that what she said might be too discouraging to Xiao Ping's enthusiasm, and hurriedly added another sentence: "My mother has been mentioning you lately, and asked me if you have a house in the provincial city."

  Song Lei's words made Xiao Ping's heart "thud" for a moment, and he shrugged his shoulders somewhat helplessly: "To be honest with you, I really don't have a house in the provincial city."

  Xiao Ping seemed somewhat displeased, so Song Lei hastily said: "My mom was just asking, she didn't say you must have a house."

  "What did you think then?"

  "Me?" Little Chili looked at Xiao Ping with a glance, deliberately turning her head and saying: "I'm not your anything, what does it have to do with me whether you have a house or not?"

  Looking at Song Le's cute appearance, Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh. Actually, Xiao Ping didn't plan to buy a house in the provincial city either, and Song Le happened to remind him that maybe buying a house here was also a good idea. After all, he would come to the provincial city more and more often in the future, and having his own place here would be much more convenient.

  Xiao Ping made a decision and smiled at Song Le, saying: "I've decided to buy an apartment in the provincial city, can you help me keep an eye out for any suitable properties?"

  In Song Lei's eyes, Xiao Ping decided to buy a house completely for himself. She couldn't help but be overjoyed and impulsively jumped over to hug Xiao Ping and kissed him on the lips!
