Chapter 141: Oh No - Whose Brother-in-Law Is My Brother?

Zhang Yang stood up and went to the kitchen first.

Inside the kitchen, Bei Wei had prepared a lot-soup simmering on the stove, chopped ingredients, already finished dishes… everything laid out in abundance. It was hard to imagine how she managed to cook so many dishes by herself.

“That’s enough. We’re all family here.” Zhang Yang stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Bei Wei’s slender waist.

“How could that be enough? It’s the first time your sister is visiting.” Bei Wei turned around and kissed Zhang Yang on the face. “Be good. You two just wait and see what I can do.”

Seeing how eager she was to show her cooking, Zhang Yang could only let her.

As soon as he left the kitchen, 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 the things in her hands and affectionately hugged Zhang Yang’s arm. “Aren’t you going to welcome me?”

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

“Brother-in-law? Hmph. Hugging so closely-this is my brother.”

She pouted and walked forward.

“Brother, who is this?”

As she spoke, she also hugged her cousin’s arm as if declaring ownership, while sizing up the girl in front of her.

“Oh, the two of you can get to know each other.” Zhang Yang’s arms were occupied on both sides. Looking at the two girls examining each other, he casually introduced them.

The two girls greeted each other, but their eyes clearly held a silent clash.

Before long, Zhang Yang felt his head starting to ache.

On one side someone was calling him “brother,” and on the other side someone was calling him “brother-in-law.”

It was dizzying.

“Brother.” After a while, Song Yumeng quietly pulled Zhang Yang aside to whisper. “Is she sister-in-law’s real sister? She doesn’t seem like it.”

“She’s more like a cousin.” Zhang Yang glanced at his little cousin. “Why are you asking?”

“Nothing, just curious. I thought she was sister-in-law’s real sister.” Song Yumeng drew out a long “oh.” “She’s so close to you.”

“Why does that sound so jealous?” Zhang Yang laughed.

He hadn’t expected his little cousin to feel such strange jealousy. Brother was brother, brother-in-law was brother-in-law-how could that be the same?

“I don’t care. She’s practically unrelated, yet she’s acting so close. Even if she really were a sister-in-law, there should still be some distance!” Song Yumeng kept complaining.

Zhang Yang didn’t comment, just listened to her ramble on.

By evening, the apartment at Lakeville was brightly lit.

The fragrance of dinner gradually filled the air.

“Wow, sister-in-law, your cooking is amazing.” Song Yumeng looked at the table full of beautifully prepared dishes and sincerely admired them.

“I just learned recently. Some of them are Sichuan dishes though-I don’t know if you’ll be used to them.” Bei Wei blushed slightly after being praised by Zhang Yang’s real cousin.

“I’m used to it! I especially love spicy food. I’ll definitely taste your cooking properly.” Song Yumeng looked eagerly at the freshly prepared boiled pork slices covered with hot oil.

“Brother-in-law, help me take a look at some clothes. I tried several outfits today and can’t decide.” Beside them, Bei Jiajia pulled Zhang Yang over. “My brother-in-law has excellent taste. If you approve, it definitely won’t be wrong.”

“Alright, let me see.” Zhang Yang didn’t refuse.

They sat on the sofa as Bei Jiajia took out her phone and showed several selfies. Zhang Yang casually gave a few comments.

Bei Jiajia immediately looked delighted.

“Brother-in-law, I told you your taste is great!”

Song Yumeng pouted as she watched the two sitting close together, then looked down at her own phone.

“Huh?”

She suddenly saw a long string of messages from Le Yue.

“I’m going crazy. I feel like I lost out big time.”

“What?” Song Yumeng replied in confusion.

“My sister is almost being stolen away by your brother. Don’t tell me you still don’t know?” Le Yue sent messages rapidly. “Let me tell you-my sister didn’t come home last night. She stayed out all night with your brother.”

“But thinking about it, it’s not really a loss. Your brother is so handsome-it would be pretty impressive to have him as my brother-in-law. I just think it happened too fast. It was only their first meeting, and my beautiful sister already fell for him.”

“Forget it, forget it. By the way, has my brother-in-law eaten yet? What is he doing now?” After a few lines, Le Yue suddenly started openly calling Zhang Yang brother-in-law.

Song Yumeng was stunned.

She looked at Bei Jiajia on the sofa calling Zhang Yang “brother-in-law,” then looked at the messages from her roommate also calling him “brother-in-law.”

Her head started spinning.

In the evening, the four of them sat around the table, which was filled with dishes cooked by Bei Wei.

“Here, Yumeng, try this.” Bei Wei was especially warm toward Song Yumeng today. “Stay a few more days. If your brother doesn’t have time, I’ll take you shopping.”

“No, no, sister-in-law. I have to go back in the next couple of days. Next time, definitely next time.” Song Yumeng felt overwhelmed by Bei Wei’s warmth, calling her sister-in-law again and again.

Bei Wei was delighted to hear it.

They were all about the same age, and girls naturally had endless topics to talk about.

So Zhang Yang simply let them chat.

“Sister-in-law, how is your skin so good? It’s that cool white complexion.” Song Yumeng asked enviously. “What skincare products do you use?”

“I don’t really do anything special. Oh right…” Bei Wei suddenly remembered something and went to get a full set of skincare products. “Here, take this.”

Song Yumeng blinked at the full set of La Mer products in front of her and suddenly cried out.

“La Mer Genaissance! That’s really expensive! I can’t accept it.”

“Take it, take it. Tomorrow we’ll go shopping together again. Sister-in-law… sister-in-law will buy you some clothes too.” When she called herself “sister-in-law,” Bei Wei blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Zhang Yang.

“I really can’t…” Song Yumeng looked helplessly toward Zhang Yang.

Because she felt that something worth nearly twenty thousand yuan was far too expensive. She had never expected this sister-in-law to be so generous.

“If she’s giving it to you, just accept it.” Zhang Yang smiled.

He understood Bei Wei’s intentions perfectly-she simply wanted to make a good impression in front of his family.

Since she rarely had such an opportunity, he was happy to support her.

“Then… then I’ll accept it. Thank you, sister-in-law!” Song Yumeng finally took it, still a little shy.

She glanced at Bei Jiajia, only to see her smiling calmly.

“How strange. Why doesn’t she react at all?”

In fact, what reaction could Bei Jiajia have?

To her, it all seemed natural. After all, Zhang Yang had bought Bei Wei a car, a house, and even arranged businesses and stores for her.

Of course she would treat Zhang Yang’s cousin well.

Besides, Zhang Yang had already spent plenty of money on her as well. Why would she feel unbalanced?

After dinner, it was getting late.

The first one to suggest leaving was Bei Jiajia.

Her family also ran a company, and she had grown up with a fairly mature sense of social awareness.

“Sister, brother-in-law, I’ll head back first.” Bei Jiajia waved. “By the way, Yumeng, take me with you when you go shopping tomorrow. I have a card-I can swipe as much as you want.”

She suddenly showed goodwill toward Song Yumeng.

Song Yumeng was stunned, seeing the sincerity in her expression and feeling a bit guilty.

Had she been… too petty?

“Alright.” Thinking that, she smiled in response.

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

Song Yumeng looked at Zhang Yang, then at Bei Wei, and immediately understood.

“Brother, I’ll go back to the hotel first.”

“Oh, don’t go back. There are plenty of rooms here.” Bei Wei stepped forward and gently grabbed her hand. “Stay here tonight.”

“No, no, I’d better go back.” Song Yumeng insisted.

She didn’t want to be a third wheel.

Besides, staying at someone else’s house made her feel a little uncomfortable. She would rather return to the hotel and quietly process the happiness of today.

“Then I’ll drive you back.” Zhang Yang offered.

Bei Wei hesitated, gently pulling Zhang Yang’s sleeve, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

“Don’t worry. After I drop my cousin off, I’ll come back.”

“Okay.” Bei Wei immediately smiled sweetly.

On the way back, Song Yumeng sat in the passenger seat with the window open, letting the night breeze clear her head.

“Brother, what are you thinking? Being such a flirt. Sister Bei Wei is so good. I think you should seriously think about what you’re going to do.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Yang asked.

“Which one will you choose?” Song Yumeng said seriously.

Honestly, as a girl who hadn’t entered society yet, she still believed strongly in love and hated men who dated multiple women.

She despised playboys the most.

But the person in front of her was her brother-so handsome and so good to her.

Naturally, her tolerance for him was much higher.

“That’s not something a kid should worry about.” Zhang Yang smiled.

Being a womanizer wasn’t something to be proud of. He knew very well whether some things were right or wrong.

“I’m not a kid.” Song Yumeng said softly. “In college, girls talk about what different guys are like. Some guys have bad reputations-once it spreads among girls, they’re immediately rejected.”

Zhang Yang nodded while driving.

“If someone tries to date two girls at once, it never ends well. Brother, you must cherish the person in front of you.” Song Yumeng looked at him seriously.

“Let things take their course.” Zhang Yang replied.

Song Yumeng looked at Zhang Yang’s handsome profile under the night lights.

She originally wanted to continue persuading him.

But for some reason, she suddenly gave up.

People are different from one another.

Those boys who aren’t that great yet still want to play around with multiple relationships are simply digging their own graves. But for someone as perfect as her brother, if he stayed loyal to only one person, it almost felt like a waste of resources.

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

“Brother, drive carefully on your way back. I’m going up first.” His little cousin waved.

“Go on up quickly. I’ll head back now.” Zhang Yang nodded and drove away first.

Standing there, Song Yumeng lowered her head and looked at the excited messages from Le Yue, who still seemed eager to chat endlessly with her. She suddenly felt a little awkward.

“You’d better not find out that the brother-in-law you keep talking about is also being called brother-in-law by someone else.”

Zhang Yang drove the Cayenne straight back to Lakeville.

He had owned this apartment for some time already, but tonight was actually the first time he was staying there overnight.

Standing at the door, Zhang Yang took out the key and quietly opened it.

Inside the house, the lights were still on. The dishes and cookware on the table had already been cleaned up. Faint sounds came from the kitchen-it seemed that Bei Wei was still busy.

“You’re back.” Bei Wei turned around and smiled sweetly, wearing an apron and looking very homely.

“I’ll help you.” Zhang Yang walked into the kitchen with a smile and prepared to help. Although he was rich now, he wasn’t someone completely detached from everyday life-he still did housework when needed.

“Husband, you don’t need to do it.” Bei Wei gently pushed him out of the kitchen. “Be good. I’ll finish soon.”

Standing outside the kitchen, Zhang Yang had no choice but to wander around the house.

Although the apartment was worth more than twenty million yuan, it was only around a hundred square meters.

That wasn’t small.

But compared to the more than three-hundred-square-meter apartment he had at COFCO Seaview No. 1, it naturally seemed modest.

Even though Bei Wei had only moved in a few days ago, the apartment already had the clear touch of a hostess.

From the bed sheets and blankets to the household items and toiletries, everything was fully arranged.

“This toothbrush.” Zhang Yang looked at the unopened electric toothbrush. It matched Bei Wei’s as a couple’s set.

“Husband.” Bei Wei, who had just finished her work, ran over and hugged him with open arms. “By the way, let me show you around.”

She eagerly pulled Zhang Yang along, showing him everything she had arranged.

“Husband, look. I prepared summer slippers for you.”

“And here-these are the toiletries I prepared for you.”

They walked around until they entered the walk-in closet in the master bedroom.

“Look, I prepared pajamas for you. Everything you need is here.”

After introducing everything, Bei Wei looked up at him with anticipation.

“Husband, do you think I prepared everything properly? Is there anything else I should get?”

“It’s all complete.” Zhang Yang smiled and lightly tapped the sweet girl’s nose.

“Then… shower?” Bei Wei blushed and hugged Zhang Yang’s waist.

That night at Lakeville naturally became another unforgettable night.

Perhaps because it was her own home turf, Bei Wei was unusually proactive tonight-so passionate it felt almost scorching.

It wasn’t until late in the night that she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Yang, however, wasn’t sleepy yet. Holding the sweet girl in his arms, his mood had only just begun to settle down.
