142. Chapter 142: It's Over, Who Exactly is My Brother-in-Law

Zhang Yang got up and went to the kitchen first.

Inside the kitchen, Bei Wei had prepared a lot: soup simmering on the stove, chopped side dishes, and already cooked dishes... It was quite a sight; I really don't know how Bei Wei managed to prepare so many dishes by herself.

"That's enough, we're all family." Zhang Yang stepped forward and hugged Bei Wei's slender waist.

"How can that be? It's our little sister's first time visiting." Bei Wei turned around and kissed Zhang Yang on the cheek. "Be good, you two wait and see what I do."

Seeing how eager Bei Wei was to perform, Zhang Yang had no choice but to oblige.

I had just left the kitchen when the doorbell rang.

Zhang Yang opened the door and saw that it was none other than Bei Jiajia.

"Brother-in-law!" Bei Jiajia put down what she was holding and immediately hugged Zhang Yang's arm affectionately. "Did you welcome me?"

Not far away, Song Yumeng stared blankly at this scene.

"Brother-in-law? Hmph, hugging him so affectionately, this is my brother."

She pouted and stepped forward.

"Brother, what's this?"

As she spoke, she grabbed her cousin's arm as if asserting her ownership, while also glancing at the young girl in front of her.

"Oh, you two happen to know each other." Zhang Yang's arms were busy on both sides as he looked at the two girls sizing each other up and introduced them casually.

The two girls introduced themselves to each other, their eyes meeting briefly.

A moment later, Zhang Yang was completely bewildered.

I was hearing someone calling me "brother" on one side and "brother-in-law" on the other, and I was feeling dizzy.

"Brother." A moment later, Song Yumeng quietly pulled Zhang Yang aside to whisper, "Is this my sister-in-law's biological sister? She doesn't seem like it."

"I guess she's my cousin?" Zhang Yang looked at his little cousin. "Why are you asking that?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking. Judging from her expression, I thought she was my sister-in-law's younger sister," Song Yumeng said with a long "Oh," adding, "Look how warmly she's getting along with me."

"No, why does that sound so sarcastic?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but find it amusing.

I didn't realize my little cousin was so inexplicably jealous. A brother is a brother, and a brother-in-law is a brother-in-law—how can they be the same?

"I don't care, she's a complete stranger, yet she's so warm and friendly. Besides, even if she were a real sister-in-law, she shouldn't be so unapproachable!" Song Yumeng kept complaining.

Zhang Yang didn't offer any opinion, and then he just listened to Song Yumeng ramble on and on.

As evening fell, the apartment in Lakeville Regency was brightly lit.

The aroma of dinner gradually filled the air.

"Wow, sister-in-law, your cooking is absolutely amazing!" Song Yumeng exclaimed sincerely as she looked at the delicious-looking dishes on the table.

"These are all new dishes I learned, but some of them are Sichuan cuisine. I don't know if you'll be able to eat them." Bei Wei blushed slightly and said shyly after being praised by Song Yumeng, Zhang Yang's real sister.

"I can eat it, I can eat it. I especially can handle spicy food. I'll definitely try my sister-in-law's cooking later." Song Yumeng looked at the boiled pork slices on the table, which had just been drizzled with hot oil, and her mouth watered.

"Brother-in-law, could you help me with the clothes? I tried on a few today, but I'm a little unsure." Bei Jiajia pulled Zhang Yang aside. "My brother-in-law has impeccable taste. If you approve, you definitely won't go wrong."

"Okay, I'll take a look." Zhang Yang didn't refuse.

The two sat down on the sofa. Zhang Yang watched as Bei Jiajia took out her phone and showed several selfies, then casually commented on them.

Bei Jiajia was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother-in-law, I knew you had good taste!"

Song Yumeng pursed her lips, looked at the two people sitting side by side, and then checked her phone.

"Huh?"

She suddenly saw that Le Yue had sent her a series of messages.

"I'm going crazy, I feel like I've been ripped off."

"Huh?" Song Yumeng replied, completely bewildered. She was a little confused.

"Your brother is practically stealing my sister away, you didn't even know?" Le Yue bombarded him with messages. "Let me tell you, my sister didn't even come home last night, she stayed out all night with your brother?"

"Sigh, but thinking about it, it's not a complete loss. After all, your brother is so handsome, it would be a great honor for him to be my brother-in-law. I just feel it's all too fast. It's only the first time we met, and my sister, such a beautiful woman, has already fallen for him."

"Never mind, by the way, has my brother-in-law eaten? What is he doing right now?" After a few words, Le Yue changed the subject and openly called him her brother-in-law.

Song Yumeng was dumbfounded.

As she watched Bei Jiajia on the sofa calling him "brother-in-law" repeatedly, and then glanced at her phone at her roommate also calling him "brother-in-law," she suddenly felt dizzy.

··

In the evening, the four of them sat around the table, which was full of dishes prepared by Bei Wei.

"Come on, Yu Meng, have some food." Bei Wei was especially warm to Song Yumeng today. "Stay and play a little longer. If your brother is busy, I'll go shopping with you."

"No, no, sister-in-law, I have to go back in a couple of days. Maybe next time, definitely next time." Song Yumeng felt Bei Wei's enthusiasm and kept calling her sister-in-law.

Bei Wei was overjoyed.

We're all the same age; we're not that much older than each other.

Girls actually have a lot in common, so much so that sometimes Zhang Yang doesn't know how to join in the conversation.

So I just let them chat and get to know each other better.

"Sister-in-law, your skin is so good, so fair!" Song Yumeng asked enviously. "By the way, what skincare products do you use?"

"Me? I haven't been doing much skincare lately. Oh, right..." As she spoke, Bei Wei seemed to remember something, and got up to get a whole set of skincare products. "Here, this is for you."

Song Yumeng blinked as she looked at the entire La Mer in front of her, then suddenly gasped in surprise.

"La Mer Genaissance de la Mer? That's so expensive! I can't accept that."

"Take it, take it. Let's go shopping again tomorrow. Sister-in-law... sister-in-law will buy you some more clothes." When she referred to herself as sister-in-law, Bei Wei blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Zhang Yang.

"Ah, I really can't..." Song Yumeng looked at Zhang Yang for help.

She felt that the item, costing nearly 20,000 yuan, was far too valuable, and she truly hadn't expected her sister-in-law to be so generous.

"Just take it if I give it to you," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

How could he not understand Bei Wei's intentions? Wasn't she just trying her best to make a good impression on his family?

Since such an opportunity was rare, he was naturally willing to grant Bei Wei's wish.

"Then... then I'll accept it, thank you sister-in-law!" Song Yumeng accepted it with considerable embarrassment, her expression still somewhat shy.

She glanced at Bei Jiajia beside her, but only saw Bei Jiajia smiling, seemingly unaffected.

"That's strange, why isn't she reacting at all?"

In fact, what could Bei Jiajia possibly feel? At this moment, she even felt it was only natural. After all, Zhang Yang had bought Bei Wei a car and a house, and arranged for her to open businesses and so on. Therefore, it was only right for her to treat Zhang Yang's cousin well.

Besides, Zhang Yang has been incredibly good to her, his adopted sister-in-law. He's spent a fortune on her, so how could she possibly feel resentful?

After dinner, it was getting late.

Bei Jiajia was the first to suggest leaving.

Her family also runs a company, and from a young age, Bei Jiajia has always been very mature in her interpersonal skills.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'll head back now." Bei Jiajia waved gently. "Oh, by the way, Yu Meng, take me with you when you go shopping tomorrow. I have a card, you can swipe it as much as you want."

She suddenly started showing interest in Song Yumeng.

Song Yumeng was taken aback. Looking at the girl in front of her with a sincere expression, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

Am I being too petty?

"Okay." Thinking of this, she smiled and responded.

After Bei Jiajia left, only the three of them remained in the house.

Song Yumeng glanced at Zhang Yang, then at Bei Wei, and immediately understood. She spoke up, "Brother, I'll go back to the hotel by myself first."

"Hey, don't go back, it's not like we don't have a room." Bei Wei stepped forward and gently pulled Song Yumeng, "Stay here tonight."

"No, no, I'd better go back," Song Yumeng insisted.

You can't be a light bulb, you know.

Besides, she felt a little uncomfortable staying at someone else's house, and she couldn't wait to go back to her hotel room and savor the joy of the day by herself.

"Then how about this, I'll take you back," Zhang Yang offered.

Bei Wei hesitated, then gently tugged at Zhang Yang, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

"Don't worry, I'll come over after I drop off my cousin."

"Okay." Bei Wei smiled sweetly.

··

On the way back, my little cousin sat in the passenger seat with the window down, enjoying the evening breeze and clearing her head.

"Brother, what are you thinking? You're always flirting with other women. Sister Bei Wei is so nice. I think you should really think about what to do about this."

"What do we do?" Zhang Yang looked at his little cousin.

"Which one should I choose?" Song Yumeng blinked and asked very seriously.

To be honest, as a young woman who hasn't yet entered society, she actually longs for love and has always abhorred the behavior of two-timing.

She hates scumbags the most.

But the man in front of her is her brother! He's so handsome and treats her so well. He's not her biological brother, but he's even better than a real brother.

Naturally, this maximizes tolerance.

"This isn't something a child should worry about," Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing.

Being a womanizer is nothing to brag about. Whether something is right or wrong, doesn't he know that himself?

"I'm not a child, brother," Song Yumeng said softly, sounding dissatisfied. "In college, we girls do talk about which guys are like what, which guys are pretty good, but some guys with bad reputations, once that gets around, are immediately rejected by us girls."

Zhang Yang nodded as he drove.

"Anyone who tries to have their cake and eat it too, or tries to please both sides, will never have a good ending. Brother, you must cherish the person in front of you." Song Yumeng looked at Zhang Yang earnestly.

"Let nature take its course," Zhang Yang said.

Song Yumeng glanced at Zhang Yang in the driver's seat, at her brother's handsome profile in the night, feeling the overwhelming charm emanating from him. Her original intention was to continue persuading him.

But for some reason, she suddenly gave up.

People are different after all.

Those guys who are clearly not that great but still have fickle hearts are undoubtedly digging their own graves. But for a perfect guy like her brother, it feels like a waste of resources to stay with one person forever.

Outside the W Hotel, Zhang Yang asked Song Yumeng to get out of the car.

"Brother, drive carefully on your way back, I'm going up now." The little cousin waved.

"You go up quickly, I'll go back first." Zhang Yang nodded and drove away first.

Standing there, Song Yumeng looked down at Le Yue, who was still excited and seemed ready to have a long chat with her, and suddenly felt a little awkward.

"You'd better not know that the brother-in-law you're talking about might be someone else who calls him that too."

···

Zhang Yang drove his Cayenne straight back to Lakeville Regency.

I've owned this house for a while now, but this is the first time I've spent the night there.

Standing in front of the house, Zhang Yang took out his key and gently opened the door.

The house was still brightly lit, but all the pots and pans on the table had been cleared away. There were some slight noises coming from the kitchen, and it seemed that Bei Wei was busy at work.

"You're back." Bei Wei turned around and smiled sweetly, looking quite domestic with her apron on.

"Let me help you." Zhang Yang walked into the kitchen, smiling as he offered to help. Although he was now wealthy, he wasn't truly detached from worldly affairs, and he still did housework as usual.

"Honey, you don't need to do anything." Bei Wei gently pushed Zhang Yang out of the kitchen. "Don't worry, I'll be done soon."

Standing outside the kitchen, Zhang Yang could only wander around the house as a vacant person.

Although it's worth several million, it's only a little over a hundred square meters, which doesn't mean it's small.

However, compared to the 300-plus square meters of space in COFCO Seaview No. 1, it is undoubtedly inadequate.

Although Bei Wei had only lived here for a few days, the house already showed signs of being owned by a woman, with everything from bed sheets and duvet covers to various household items and toiletries.

"This toothbrush." Zhang Yang looked at the unopened electric toothbrush, which happened to be a matching couple's model with Bei Wei's.

"Honey." Bei Wei, who had just finished her chores, ran over and hugged him tightly. "Oh, by the way, I'll show you around."

She pulled Zhang Yang along and enthusiastically showed him around the entire setup.

"Honey, look, these are the summer slippers I prepared for you."

"And here, these are the toiletries I prepared for you."

The two toured the place and entered the master bedroom's walk-in closet.

"Look, I've prepared pajamas for you; everything you need is here."

After the introductions, Bei Wei looked up at me with hopeful eyes. "Honey, look, is everything I prepared for you complete? Is there anything else you need?"

"All done." Zhang Yang smiled and playfully pinched the little girl's nose.

"Then... take a bath?" Bei Wei blushed and took the initiative to hug Zhang Yang's waist.

That night at Lakeville Regency was naturally another unforgettable one.

Perhaps it was because she was playing at home, but Bei Wei was unusually proactive tonight, so passionate that she didn't fall into a deep sleep until late at night.

Zhang Yang wasn't sleepy yet; he held the sweet girl in his arms, his mood just beginning to calm down.
