Chapter 256: DOES IT COST MONEY TO SPEAK?
While driving, Ning Jiming glanced at the man side eyedly. This dude has been weirdly quiet for the last three minutes he has been in the car. Not a word was uttered by him. He took in the man’s appearance.
The man looked rather young, perhaps in his early twenties. He had worn a round neck black tee shirt, and loose black cargo pants. And a black jacket over it. He had short styled hairs, that looked pretty good.
Though it may sound a punky type dress up, he looked rather decent.
But what does his face look like? He still has his mask on.
But right now, the more concerning thing for him was that the guy is not talking. Does he know the story? Does he know his role? Does he know what he needs to do? WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
Ning Jiming kept quiet for a while more, in hopes that his co passenger would atleast utter a word. But no. Nothing like that happened. It was as if he was sitting with a mute materialised ghost.
Not being able to handle the silence anymore, he said, " Hey, does it cost you money to talk or something like that? "
The man slowly turned towards Ning Jiming and shook his head, and slowly said, " No. "
Ning Jiming nodded his head as if he learnt something new and said, " Oh? Okay. I thought it did. "
Ning Jiming was expecting this man to talk but instead all his expectations went down the drain, when he just nodded and again turned his head to look out of the car.
Ning Jiming’s grip on the steering wheel tightened and his teeth gritted against each other in visible frustration.
Did this chap come here for sight seeing? What kind of man has this Ning Mei sent to me? Has she sent the wrong person?
He took a deep breath and asked, " What is your name, boy? "
The man turned to Ning Jiming again and said, " Muye. "
Ning Jiming lightly hummed and said, " So Muye, do you know what is your task today? Has Ning Mei told you everything? "
He again nodded and replied , " Yes. "
Ning Jiming was already done with his man’s one word answers. It felt as if he was being cost millions for a word. Heavens! What did he get stuck into.
At this point, Ning Jiming was having a mad urge to call Ning Mei and ask her to take his word- miser man away. He could not hear it anymore.
Still calming his nerves, he said the final thing, " So Muye? Are you going to let that mask on your face only? Or are you planning to remove it in near future? "
The way he asked the question was quite hilarious, as it felt as if he was asking, ’ Are you planning to do a job or start your own business in the near future. ’
Muye turned to look at Ning Jiming again and slowly raised his hands and removed his mask.
The next second when Ning Jiming turned to look at him, he froze for a second. He almost was in a slight shock. But he quickly regained his posture and shook his head.
Seeing that the man was looking at him, Ning Jiming awkwardly laughed and said, " Haha... It’s nothing. You look younger than I expected. "
Muye kept quiet for a moment before saying , " Oh? I thought you were expecting someone else. "
Ning Jiming laughed and said, " Actually there is a different reason too. "
On seeing the interested look on his face, Ning Jiming continued, " Your face looks a little like my sister. Though, there is not much resemblance, of she were a man, she would have looked like you. "
And he laughed it off.
Ning Mei then blinked as she asked in her original girlish voice with a hint of anxiousness, " Is it too obvious or what, Gege? "
The very next second the car came to a dangerously screeching halt. It was such a relief that Ning Jiming was not driving through a busy road right now. God, did this man had to react so excessively?
While the man in question right now looked at Ning Mei as if he had seen some ghost. His mouth hanged open, his eyes widened, disbelief, astonishment and a little fear creeped into him. Also, his face had gone slightly pale.
But Ning Mei did not notice this at first, as her first concern was, " Gege! Move the car to the side and park it at the side. " Seeing him not answering and still looking at her blankly, Ning Mei pinched her nose bridge and almost yelled, " Gege! "
Ning Mei really regretted the timing for her to break the news. She did not expect him to react so extremely. Even her own husband did not react to it like this! She had planned to do some fun by getting on his nerves at first.
But this man... This man had almost killed her! ..
Ning Jiming soon got himself and his thoughts collected and parked the car at the side of the road, rather than in the middle of it.
Ning Mei on seeing that the car was now parked in a safe place, she sighed in relief and turned to look at Ning Jiming and complained, " What the hell was that, Gege! You almost got us dead, do you even understand?! "
But this time, it was Ning Jiming who counter backed in a second and said, " What do you mean by got you dead?! Do you even understand that you had my soul out of my body! What the hell is this! " ’ he asked refering to the get up.
Hell! He had thought that they looked similar, but never even in his weird thoughts, would he have been able to guess that he would be her.
Ning Mei pursed her lips seeing her brother burst out, but then a small smile emerged on her lips and then she grinned she asked, " Is the get up good? "
