The two of them stopped midway and found an eyeglass store. The pair he had earlier were broken by Xiao Lang, so Rattlesnake got himself a new pair of sunglasses to cover his black eyes.
When they arrived at Huadu District, Xiao Lang originally wanted him to stay at a hotel. But when Rattlesnake heard that Xiao Lang and several of his sisters-in-law were moving to Bay Villa, he eagerly tagged along, completely unbothered by his bruised face.
Inside the room, Yunxi, Qin Lingyan, and Xiang Suizi were there, while Han ngting was at school. However, after school, Xiang Suizi would pick her up and head to Bay Villa. Xiang Suizi always drove to pick up Han ngting, and with all the coming and going, they considered buying another car for convenience.
The appearance of the bruised-faced Rattlesnake surprised the won. They were clueless about where Xiao Lang found this wounded soul. Except for Xiang Suizi, none of the other won knew Rattlesnake.
If it weren't for those signature sunglasses, even Xiang Suizi wouldn't have recognized him. It wasn't until Rattlesnake cheerfully walked over, extended his hand, and said with a grin, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Only then did Xiang Suizi confirm that he was the leader of the Kaiyang Palace branch of the Longn, and also the most loyal person to Xiao Lang within Longn. She exclaid in surprise, "Rattlesnake, what happened to you?" She spoke in Japanese, as the others present didn't know Rattlesnake, and the nickna sounded a bit intimidating. It was best not to let them know.
"Haha, got into a car accident..." Naturally, he wouldn't admit to being beaten. He softly shook Xiang Suizi's little hand, careful not to be too forward, bending over with a cheeky grin.
Qin Lingyan, on the other hand, couldn't stand it. Why did he know Xiang Suizi was a sister-in-law as soon as he walked in, yet ignored her? She forcefully intervened, extending her hand, "Hello, I'm Qin Lingyan. May I know your na?"
Rattlesnake hadn't t her yet, but after she introduced herself, he knew she was also a sister-in-law. Seeing her lukewarm attitude, he imdiately felt a bit dejected. He nodded and bowed, shaking her hand, and laughing, "I've heard from Brother Lang about how beautiful and virtuous you are. Seeing is believing. My na is Shen Yue, 'Shen' with three drops of water, and 'Yue' as in more handso."
Xiao Lang also noticed that Qin Lingyan had been a bit jealous because he hadn't treated her equally last night. He'd spent all night focusing on Xiang Suizi, neglecting Qin Lingyan. But actually, he wanted Qin Lingyan to rest a bit since they'd had enough fun in the bathroom.
Won don't see it that way though; although Qin Lingyan didn't say it outright, she was feeling a bit sour. She wasn't a petty person, and such things would typically pass in a day or two. But with Rattlesnake arriving the very next day, imdiately recognizing Xiang Suizi as his sister-in-law, it was tough for her to take.
Finding so confidence, Qin Lingyan promptly introduced the girl next to her, Yunxi. Upon hearing that Yunxi was Xiao Lang's recognized god-sister, Rattlesnake lifted his sunglasses to his head, examined her carefully, then laughed and shook Yunxi's hand, nodding and bowing.
Rattlesnake truly had it tough, perspiration dripping from his brow. The room was filled with formidable won, none of whom he could afford to provoke. Qin Lingyan particularly gave him a lot of pressure. As soone with a sales background, she was savvy and articulate, unlike Xiang Suizi who sat quietly. A single casual remark from her left Rattlesnake flustered.
Surprisingly, the two sisters-in-law didn't clash much despite being together, and Rattlesnake admired Xiao Lang's thod of handling relationships. But saying they didn't clash at all was unrealistic, for the entrance already brought Rattlesnake imnse pressure.
The won and Xiao Lang sat together, while Rattlesnake sat laughingly in a corner, much like a new bride in her in-laws' house, not daring to breathe loudly or know what topic to bring up.
Qin Lingyan appeared bright and intellectually equipped. She only slightly contested with Xiang Suizi earlier. Seeing that Xiang Suizi wasn't trying to compete with her, she felt guilty and quickly sat beside Xiang Suizi, warmly expressing her intent to reconcile.
Xiang Suizi wasn't one to hold grudges, and besides, in that situation, she too would have felt a twinge of jealousy, just that she wouldn't show it as Qin Lingyan did. Qin Lingyan was frank and open-minded, without scheming intent.
If it weren't for this, Xiang Suizi wouldn't have been able to get along peacefully with Qin Lingyan for so long. Quickly, the two sisters were chatting and laughing again, leaving Xiao Lang smiling bitterly, entirely surrendered to Qin Lingyan's style.
"May I ask where Mr. Shen is employed?" Qin Lingyan held Xiang Suizi's little hand, smiling as she looked at Rattlesnake.
"Sister-in-law, please don't call Mr. Shen. You can call Little Shen, or Rattlesnake, or even Peach Blossom Eyes... I'm just an idle person..." Rattlesnake smiled obsequiously.
Qin Lingyan pouted, discovering this guy had quite a few nicknas. Rattlesnake didn't sound like sothing good.
"Lingyan, he's a brother I've known since childhood, nicknad Rattlesnake. You all might as well call him Peach Blossom Eyes." Xiao Lang quickly stepped in to diate; otherwise, Rattlesnake wouldn't think about sticking around the house in the future.
Yunxi tilted her little head, examining Rattlesnake's eyes with curiosity. "Brother, Peach Blossom Eyes doesn't quite suit him. Where's the peach blossom? It's more like panda eyes; we'll call you Panda Eyes."
"Uh..." Rattlesnake blinked mournfully. Can't they stop rubbing salt in the wound? Panda Eyes didn't sound good at all.
Xiao Lang just took a sip of hot tea and spat it all out, laughing repeatedly, "That's a good nickna, Panda Eyes." He elbowed Rattlesnake and whispered, "Congratulations on earning another nickna."
Qin Lingyan and Xiang Suizi also chuckled, though they wouldn't be as guileless as Yunxi. It was clear Rattlesnake's panda eyes were from a beating, quite a miraculous result for a car accident. But seeing Rattlesnake refusing to speak the truth, they gave him no face, calling him Panda Eyes as well.
Rattlesnake gave a few bitter laughs but didn't mind. He had so many nicknas already that he'd lost count. Hearing Panda Eyes a few tis, he found it rather cute.
After chatting in the living room for a bit, they started packing. Yu Shifei had already called Xiao Lang in the morning to inform him that Bay Villa was ready, officially handing it over to him. Hence, he decided to start moving today, and Rattlesnake called a few of his Kaiyang Palace brothers to help.
In these tis, having people just makes things easier. A call later, several burly n showed up with a van, quickly loading the won's bags and boxes without them lifting a finger.
Xiao Lang, with a cigarette in his mouth and hands behind his back, occasionally directed tasks. Rattlesnake walked over to the TV, slapped it, and joked, "Brother Lang, you've only been living here for less than two months and collected all this furniture. Why not leave it to , and I'll get it sold at the second-hand market for you."
"Alright, by the way, co with to the car mart later." Xiao Lang took a deep drag on his cigarette, lying lazily on the sofa, he said.
Rattlesnake raised an eyebrow skeptically, "Why the car mart? You planning to buy a car? Plenty of cars at Kaiyang Palace, whichever you want, I'll bring it over."
"Get lost. I'm buying your sister-in-law a vehicle to get around, none of your junky used cars. Who knows what you do in them..." Xiao Lang showed him no courtesy.
Rattlesnake chuckled dryly, scratched his face, and dared not say another word.
