Chapter 217 - 217 217 Make a call ask my sister to send money over

217: Chapter 217: Make a call, ask my sister to send money over 217: Chapter 217: Make a call, ask my sister to send money over “Brother-in-law, you have no idea what a sneaky bastard Jiang Yunpeng is.

He’s a completely different person in front of my sister and in front of me,” Chen Di vented more freely after downing a few drinks.

At the dinner table, men always find the perfect opportunity to bond and strengthen their relationships.

As the alcohol flowed, Chen Di became increasingly uninhibited.

Lin Fei didn’t join in the conversation because he had observed that Chen Di had a deep-seated prejudice against Jiang Yunpeng.

In every two sentences Chen Di said, one and a half were complaints about Jiang Yunpeng.

“Brother-in-law, you don’t think I look down on Jiang Yunpeng, do you?

Just because that bastard bullied me when I was a kid?!” seeing that Lin Fei wasn’t responding and about to toast with a glass of red wine, Chen Di sulkily drew back his glass.

“Isn’t that so?” Chen Di could sulk all he wanted, but Lin Fei clearly didn’t care.

Previously, due to Chen Di’s talkativeness, Lin Fei had his ear bent way too much.

Now that it was Chen Di’s turn to be sulky, Lin Fei didn’t mind twisting the knife a little more.

“Brother-in-law, you really underestimate me.

That was all in the past,” Chen Di defended himself resentfully.

“I dislike Jiang Yunpeng because he’s incredibly hypocritical and full of malice.

If my sister ends up with him, she’ll definitely be unhappy.”

“Anyway, isn’t he the youngest lieutenant in the Azure Dragon Army?

That has got to be more promising than being a spokesperson for the news,” Lin Fei retorted.

Knowing both yourself and the enemy ensures your survival in all battles.

Since Jiang Yunpeng was intent on putting Lin Fei in a compromising position, learning more about him through Chen Di was a good strategy.

“Nonsense!

If it weren’t for his old man paving the way for him, he wouldn’t hold a candle to me,” Chen Di couldn’t help but swear.

“Brother-in-law, I can’t explain all the goings-on in our military unit right now.

But one thing I can tell you: without his old man pulling strings, Jiang Yunpeng would never have become the youngest lieutenant in our military’s history.

Do you get what I’m saying, brother-in-law?”

Understood—how could Lin Fei not?

After all, he had been in the military for years and knew some of the ins and outs.

Chen Di’s meaning could be summed up in one sentence: it’s nice to have a powerful backing.

Once Lin Fei understood this, he completely relaxed.

From a fresh recruit to the youngest colonel since the founding of Mo Country, Lin Fei knew very well what effort was needed to advance to lieutenant and what contributions were required for the country.

If Jiang Yunpeng had truly become the youngest lieutenant in the Azure Dragon Army through his own efforts, even as an adversary, Lin Fei would have felt some respect for him.

Now, that kind of thought no longer crossed Lin Fei’s mind.

“Brother-in-law, let’s forget about that bastard.

My sister has already slept with you, so Jiang Yunpeng has no chance,” Chen Di bluntly stated the obvious.

On Lin Fei’s part, he clearly wasn’t about to let Jiang Yunpeng cuckold him.

There was simply no one in this world who could put Lin Fei in such a position.

And Chen Qi, the violent cop, clearly wasn’t an easy match either.

The chances of Jiang Yunpeng conquering the fortress that was Chen Qi were virtually nil.

“Brother-in-law, while my sister’s not here, you can tell me—is my sister still as violent in bed as she is normally?” After drinking too much, Chen Di’s loose lips began to spill secrets again.

“That question, I think you should ask your sister,” Lin Fei replied.

“I’m scared to death.” Chen Di spoke frankly.

Having grown up under the shadow of Chen Qi’s violence, even with ten or eight more guts, he wouldn’t dare ask Chen Qi such questions.

“So you think, how do my fists compare to your sister’s?”

“Forget I asked.

Brother-in-law, let’s drink, this one’s for you.” Sensing the subtly spreading menace in Lin Fei’s eyes, Chen Di wisely gave up asking.

It just didn’t pay to be unwise, as the patchwork of blue and purple bruises on his face served as a clear reminder.

Lin Fei’s fists were obviously much tougher than his older sister Chen Qi’s.

“Brother-in-law, you, you’ve really disappointed me!” After the third round of drinks and a variety of dishes, when it came time to pay the bill, Chen Di rummaged through Lin Fei’s utterly empty pockets, his face a mix of sorrow and loss.

“Brother-in-law, I really don’t know what my sister sees in you.

I mean, you come out to eat and don’t even bring money, you—”

Bang!

Lin Fei, with a darkened face, sent Chen Di flying with a kick, chair and all.

“If I remember correctly, you’re the one who dragged me here.” And indeed, it was Chen Di, this oddball, who had insisted on dragging Lin Fei out for drinks.

If it hadn’t been for Chen Qi’s sake, and the fact that he was genuinely a bit hungry, Lin Fei would have never bothered to travel all this way to the Star Hotel just to accompany Chen Di for drinks.

After the initial exchange, Lin Fei thought he had fully grasped the peculiarities of Chen Di.

However, Chen Di had managed to surprise Lin Fei with yet another “gift”!

The audacity to pester and drag him, Lin the official, out for drinks, and once they had indulged, this oddball, Chen Qi, actually expected Lin Fei to foot the bill.

Chen Di had his reasons for wanting Lin Fei to pay, and they were quite solid.

First, Lin Fei was the brother-in-law and he was the brother-in-law’s brother-in-law, so it was only natural for the brother-in-law to pay for the younger man.

Second, Lin Fei had just returned to Zhonghai City and should fulfill his duties as a host to offer him a welcoming feast.

But most importantly, Chen Di didn’t have a penny on him—his pockets were even emptier than Lin the official’s!

Chen Di’s reasons were indeed very sound, since Lin the official had a fling with Chen Qi, the violent policewoman.

The problem was, Lin the official also hardly had any money on him, which was not ideal.

Despite having the wealthy Mu Shanshan as a backer, Lin Fei rarely received financial support from the major CEO because he often sneaked around behind her back, refusing to give Lin Fei money to flaunt.

At that moment, if Lin Fei were to call Mu Shanshan and ask her to send money, and if the loose-lipped Chen Di said something careless, Lin Fei would undoubtedly be digging his own grave.

“Brother-in-law, I think you better call my sister and have her send us some money.” Having picked himself up and taken a seat next to Lin Fei again, Chen Di advised him.

“Why should I be the one to call?” Lin Fei was quite annoyed since it was Chen Di who had forcefully brought him here to drink in the first place.

Even if they did call Chen Qi to send money, it should be Chen Di who made the call.

“If I call, my sister will definitely scold me on the phone.

But brother-in-law, it’s different for you; you’ve already slept with my sister, she definitely wouldn’t dare to scold you.”

As he spoke, Chen Di took a cell phone and called Chen Qi, then handed the phone straight to Lin Fei.
