Chapter 116 - The Beauty’s Apology 

Translator: Lav

Editor: Levs

Zhang Meimei was so furious that she was at loss for words. She shakily pointed at Zhang Liangliang, then pointed at Shi Lei, feeling that her values were collapsing. 

Shi Lei turned around and said to Zhang Liangliang: “Stop the nonsense! Is that how you talk to your mother? Apologize right now!” 

“But she’s telling you to leave! I don’t want you to leave!” Zhang Liangliang shouted through sobs. 

Shi Lei looked at her in the eyes and repeated it word by word: “I’ll say it again, apologize to your mother!” 

Zhang Liangliang didn’t dare to make eye contact with Shi Lei as she avoided Shi Lei’s gaze. Although she was extremely unwilling to do it, she quickly said to Zhang Meimei: “I’m sorry, I panicked. But, Mum, please don’t tell him to leave, I was just joking. He’s very shy and I always tease him like this. Plus, he has a girlfriend, his girlfriend is very pretty, I even saw her before. Yi’jie is a really nice person! And, her full name is Sun Yiyi, her name is Yi, so I called her yi’jie, and she calls me er’jie, don’t you think that we were brought together by destiny……” Zhang Liangliang explained in a hurry and she was terrified that Zhang Meimei wouldn’t believe her. She quickly took out her phone, opened her WeChat and showed Zhang Meimei Sun Yiyi’s WeChat. 

When Zhang Meimei heard Shi Lei scolding Zhang Liangliang and Zhang Liangliang’s explanation, she knew that she overreacted. She finally realised that she was a mother and it didn’t matter how strong and independent she seemed on the outside, she was and could only be Zhang Liangliang’s mother at home. When she discovered that her daughter may stray off onto the wrong path, it evoked her motherly instincts. 

Zhang Liangliang calmed down. She thought that if she was in the role as a lawyer and sees a situation like this, she would definitely analyse the situation in a composed manner, or at least wait for further progression of the event. Then, she may see a different result and definitely wouldn’t solve the problem with such impulsion. 

In this moment, she was displaying her instincts as a mother and that’s why she was so impulsive. She did not only chose to not believe Shi Lei and her daughter, but she also decided to hurt Shi Lei in order to solve the problem. Seeing that Zhang Liangliang was sobbing uncontrollably, Zhang Meimei had a lump on her throat. She hesitated for a while and eventually touched Zhang Liangliang on the head. 

“I’m sorry, I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have doubted, and I should’ve believed teacher Shi.” Lightly, Zhang Meimei hugged Zhang Liangliang as they enjoyed this moment of love and gentleness. 

“Mr. Shi, I’m sorry, I was too impulsive, I shouldn’t have said that you. You are right, the outcome of communications isn’t that important. What’s more important is that I need to participate in er’jie’s process of growing up. I should be in all of the process and that’s what a mother should do. I’m sorry, I apologise to you for my bad attitude. I hope you don’t mind it and will still come to tutor her.” 

Shi Lei smiled and said: “How nice is this? Er’jie, looks like the present will have to wait. You should let your Mum eat with you today!” 

“Huh? What present?” Zhang Meimei was confused. 

Zhang Liangliang opposed immediately. She pushed Zhang Meimei away and grabbed Shi Lei in a hurry: “No! You promised me, you can’t leave!” 

Shi Lei shrugged helplessly and explained to the confused Zhang Meimei: “The story is that I made a promise with er’jie, if she could score the average of 85 marks, I’ll give her a present. Except I don’t know what present er’jie wants so I asked her after she checked her marks from her teacher’s daughter. She teased me to be her boyfriend but she was too proud and her voice was too loud, so you heard it. That’s the situation, I think you two should celebrate the fact that er’jie is returning to the top students without my interruption. Er’jie, I won’t forget the present I promised……” 

Zhang Meimei finally understood and thoroughly knew that Zhang Liangliang’s request would only be a joke. 

Except, Zhang Meimei didn’t know that Zhang Liangliang really had thoughts of that. Except, Shi Lei purely treated her as a kid and didn’t mind. Although whenever Zhang Liangliang mentioned it, he would be flustered and embarrassed. Hence, she loved to tease him like that as it made her extremely happy to see him being impatient. 

Of course, it was only the liking which a 15 year old girl had to a boy. Even if she did, it wasn’t nothing big as wouldn’t lead to a great mistake. Every girl would have a phase like this around the age of 15 or 16. 

Zhang Meimei cast a glance in apology to Shi Lei again. She picked up the 200 yuan and didn’t pass it to him until she exchanged the 100 yuan note to a 20 yuan note. 

“This is your pay for today.” 

Shi Lei beamed and didn’t reject it. 

But Zhang Liangliang opposed again. She said loudly: “No, I can’t let dashu go, he said he would eat with me! Zhang Meimei, don’t you have dinner outside today? Just go, I have dashu with me and it’s enough!” With that, she skipped next to Shi Lei and grabbed his arms. 

Shi Lei felt awkward but didn’t know how to explain it to Zhang Meimei as they were too close. 

Except, Zhang Meimei suddenly beamed. This woman was really beautiful. Although she was almost 40 years old, but her beauty was breathtaking. She was much stronger than those idols who relied on makeup and plastic surgery. 

“What about this, if er’jie wants you to eat with her, and I already turned down the business dinner tonight, we can eat together. Teacher Shi, what do you think……?” 

Shi Lei didn’t really mind. He would be pestered by Zhang Liangliang if they were on their own, but if Zhang Meimei was there, this girl would be much more reserved. 

And, eating with two beauties was a pleasant thing by itself anyways. Seeing that Shi Lei didn’t mind, Zhang Meimei looked at Zhang Liangliang and asked: “Er’jie, what do you think?”

“Fine, fine. How annoying. Us two kids are eating and you, as an adult, just have to follow us.” She pouted in dissatisfaction, but at least she agreed. 

Plus, Shi Lei could tell that Zhang Liangliang was really happy. He guess it wrong before. It wasn’t calm because Zhang Meimei ate with her everyday for the whole week, but it was because she was busy preparing for the exams and didn’t have time to bug him. 

After they made up their mind, Zhang Liangliang and Zhang Meimei both went to change and Shi Lei waited for them in the living room. 

Not long later, Zhang Meimei came out first. This woman was really conservative and inflexible as she never had the idea of makeup or dress up, although she did pay more attention to it today, it was still professional clothing but in lighter colours. On the contrary, Shi Lei didn’t have to think and knew that Zhang Liangliang was definitely doing makeup, except she wouldn’t do it the same way as before. 

“Uh, before when she held my arms, it was just her habit, you……” Shi Lei explained uneasily. 

Zhang Meimei smiled slightly and said: “I trust that you are not the type to hook up with young girls.”
