Chapter 90: Chapter 090: Preparing to Confess

The monkey silently sipped his tea, because he knew very well that if he spoke up and got it right, all would be fine, but if he messed up, he’d be the one to suffer when Chen Cang started to ask questions. However, if he didn’t speak, Xiao Guobing would.

"Brother Cang, I think we can give it a try. Even if the confession doesn’t succeed, at least you can make your feelings clear to Liu Mengting. Plus, after this, no one would dare to compete with you. It’s like staking a claim – that bumpkin is just some distant relative and won’t have any reason to stop you later. Surely Tang Ming can’t be meddling every day with his relative’s suitors, right?"

Xiao Guobing said with a sly grin.

"Good, let’s do that."

Chen Cang slammed his hand on the table in agreement.

Only then did the monkey chime in, "Brother Cang, it’s already Sunday today. If we don’t act fast, classes will start soon, and Liu Mengting usually sticks to a very predictable routine. You won’t have many chances during the school term."

"Right, strike while the iron is hot. We’ll get this done today."

Chen Cang said eagerly, bursting with enthusiasm.

"Today? But how do we get Liu Mengting to come out?"

The monkey scratched his head, puzzled.

"Right, how could I forget about that? I’ve asked Liu Mengting out before, but unfortunately, she’s never shown up."

Chen Cang said, looking dejected.

"Brother Cang, look quickly, opportunity has arrived."

Chen Jianwen, who had been quiet while playing with his phone and checking his social media feed, now excitedly held out his phone to Chen Cang.

"What is it?"

Chen Cang’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the phone screen and saw a message in the social media feed: "Fell sick today, this damn fever, don’t know when it will get better."

"Whose is this? It’s not Liu Mengting’s, is it?"

The monkey leaned in to look and casually asked.

"It’s not Liu Mengting’s, I know her online nickname."

Chen Cang shook his head.

"It’s Li Xiaoli’s. I went through a lot of trouble to get her contact information and then added her as a friend, so I’m the first to know about any updates from her,"

Chen Jianwen said with a smile.

"Li Xiaoli’s figure is definitely domineering."

The monkey leered, licking his lips and smirking shamelessly.

"Enough already."

Chen Cang had actually taken an interest in Li Xiaoli before but his current attraction to Liu Meng was even stronger. If he could secure a relationship with Liu Meng, wouldn’t opportunities to get closer to Li Xiaoli come naturally? After all, they were good friends.

"Brother Cang, Li Xiaoli is sick, and it seems she’s even staying at Liu Mengting’s place. We could find a chance to visit her today with some people. I reckon Liu Mengting wouldn’t refuse. Then later in the evening, we could all go out singing to relax. Wouldn’t that give you the chance you were looking for?"

Chen Jianwen suggested with a smile.

"Great idea, Jianwen. You really have an agile mind. Let’s do that."

Chen Cang said, laughing and slapping his thigh.

After a meal, the monkey and the others started calling their classmates, inviting a few of both boys and girls, and they all drove straight to the villa where Liu Mengting lived. Chen Cang had been there a few times; although he had never entered the house, he knew the location quite well.

Once they arrived outside the villa, they were stopped by the security guards. Chen Cang had one of the female classmates call Liu Mengting.

This female classmate had an okay relationship with Liu Mengting at school, and she said she was coming to visit Li Xiaoli out of concern. Naturally, Liu Mengting welcomed her and after calling the security guard, directly let her into the villa complex.

A few cars pulled up into the open space in front of the Liu family’s villa, and then a group of people got out and knocked on the door.

At that time, Tang Ming was resting on the villa’s lawn. Since Li Xiaoli was sick and recovering, and Liu Mengting had to take care of her, they naturally couldn’t go out. If they didn’t go out, Tang Ming was also stuck at home.

But he never expected that Chen Cang, whom he had taught a lesson to a few times, would dare to come knocking at his door.

As soon as he saw Chen Cang, Tang Ming stood up from his chair and walked over with a smiling face. He coldly said, "Dead fly, still daring to come to the Liu family villa. Are you asking for another beating?"

Although Chen Cang was the school bully, Tang Ming had long since stolen his limelight, not to mention having been beaten several times and sent to the hospital. A shadow had been cast over Chen Cang’s heart, and upon seeing Tang Ming stand in front of him, his legs involuntarily began to tremble.

"Tang Ming, I’m here today as a classmate to visit Li Xiaoli, so don’t mess around."

Chen Cang said with a trembling voice.

"Visiting them?"

Tang Ming thought for a moment. The dead fly had been behaving a lot recently, and he really had no reason to cause trouble with the other party.

"Tang Ming, have they arrived?"

At the second-floor window, Liu Mengting poked her head out. But when she saw a large group of classmates on the front lawn, especially with Chen Cang and a few others among them, she was immediately a bit shocked.

At that moment, Li Xiaoli also popped her head out of the window, glowing with health, and when she saw so many people downstairs, she said,

"Wow, it looks like I’m popular at school, huh? So many people coming to see me now that they’ve heard I’m sick. I’m so happy."

"Even the dead fly came, are you happy about that?"

Liu Mengting said, rather frustrated.

"Ah, he came too? It seems like this time it’s not about the wine at all; it’s not about me completely. It’s all directed at you, Meng Meng sis."

Li Xiaoli curled her mouth and also said in a frustrated tone.

Of course, she could guess that Chen Cang had come to see Liu Mengting and had taken the excuse of visiting her illness to come to the villa. In other words, she was just being used as a verbal excuse; the real person they were visiting was Liu Mengting.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli walked downstairs together. At that moment, the butler, Uncle Quan, came over and asked,

"Miss, many people have come outside claiming to be your classmates. Should we entertain them in the living room or somewhere else?"

"Just set up chairs and stools on the lawn. They are guests since they’ve come over, so we should fulfill our duties as hosts and prepare some fruit and the like as well."

Liu Mengting instructed after some thought.

"Okay."

Uncle Quan hurried down to make arrangements.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli knew why these people had come, but unfortunately, a guest was a guest, no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to entertain them.

On the lawn, Chen Cang, seeing that Tang Ming really didn’t dare to mess with him, suddenly gained confidence and said to Monkey and the others, "How can we come empty-handed? Monkey, go get the things we prepared in the car."

"Okay."

Monkey was also afraid of Tang Ming. Upon hearing this, he led Chen Jianwen and the others toward the cars parked in front of the villa.

Watching Monkey and the others each carry in a large bag of stuff, Tang Ming couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly to the dead fly anymore.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli walked out of the villa’s gate, and instantly, several familiar girls crowded around them, chattering and inquiring warmly.
