After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

Chapter 83  Scotty Now Knows! by Harem-Fan

     This Monday morning when we got up things felt different. No the exercise, breakfast, and loving goodbyes to my wives are the same, but realizing my family is growing is wonderful.

     But I guess when Mei asked me.

     "Rick, I will pick you up after school in the limo and at lunch time, but do you want to take it in the morning?"

     "Huh? What do you recommend for me to take in?"

     She grins and tells me. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "You're my Tang Master now so let's go big or go home. I will make you look good, Rick. Actually now that you became a Tang, I can send back a positive report to the Empire so thanks for that, fufu."

     I smile while she is pulling out my outfit. I told her.

     "Make sure and take the credit for getting Scott thrown out, and getting me into the Tang. I think that will make them happy and be less suspicious of me."

     "See Rick, now you're thinking like a good spy. Oh, and no more track suits for you, wear this tie-less casual black. Don't embarrass the Tang by looking like you are exercising, well for this first week. When everyone can recognize you as a noble, you can walk around naked and no one will say anything."

     As she hands me the gold accessories for the suit I asked her about later.

     "Why wear this then change into another suit later?"

     "I will bring you your suit in a bag to wear after your Kung-Fu club and give it to you after lunch, for why? Do you think the Tang Twins are going to not hug all over you today?"

     I think about how Nadia with no breaks on will act the first week and shake my head in defeat.

     Soon Mei loads me into the limo, and funnily, she is wearing a driver's outfit instead of her maid uniform, and she looks surprisingly good in it.

     So the interior of my new limo is very nice. The main back seat is luxury for two, but three can sit here. Then from the left of the limo all the way to the driver and curving to behind the drivers seating area is a L shaped couch. This can comfortably seat another 5 to 6. On the right side of the back-end, is a bar and entertainment stand. There are snacks and refrigerated beverages. The refrigerator has a rechargeable battery to keep things cold for up to two days.

-

     Mei made sure to drop me off in the most eye-catching part of the drop-off for the limo section and I was not aware of this,  but I just rolled with it using my Acting Basic.

     "Okay master~ you're here, oh and don't look back at me, I am going to give you dreamy-eyes for others to see, Ufufu."

     My lips twitched hearing her words, but like a good actor I did not look back, though I really wanted to see her giving dreamy eyes.

-

     As I walked into business class a few eyes noticed me. I think one or two people might know but I play it cool.

     Oh, and the twins have been on fire with texting me today like they have been holding back for months, sigh. My phone is sad because it is overworking.

     As I put my bag down, James asks.

     "Um, brother, why are you dressed like that?"

     "Jim, it is a long complicated story, but the short version is... I am part of the Tang clan now."

     James and Cat Woo.exe brains stopped working after hearing my words. Linda grabbed my left-wrist and asked me.

     "Your Tang now! And does that mean..."

     "Scott is out, and I don't know what your father will do now? I think Scott will join the Song clan now and your engagement is up in the air. So you would know more than me. But, I am not Scott, so only your Lang clan will know what to do. I have to take attendance."

     "Hello Mr Tang, fufu."

     Tina, a member of Harem-Chat has been fully aware of the events due to the twins constantly going on and on in the chat. I smile and say to this succubus.

     "Hello Miss Feng, and don't worry the Head of Tang fully supports the contest and grand prize."

     "Then I will send a message to my Father conveying the official stance of the Tang here, fufu."

     I grabbed my form from teacher Long's desk, but she has not arrived yet.

     As I sat back at my seat, I saw that Linda left the room, probably to call her home.

     Then Scott with bags under his eyes came in looking like he did not have a restful night. He took his seat and looked around and his eyes landed on me.

     I see he must know from his mother, so like a good villain I hold up three fingers slowly folding one down to show two left. Scott seemed to get the meaning when his eyes opened remembering Saturday night!

     When his fist tightened, I only pointed with my other hand to the two remaining fingers still standing and he paled in thought.

     James with a look of amazement then held up his phone showing me the main school chat page, and my eyes opened wide at the information the twins publicly announced to the whole University just now! Oh fuck me!

     [Nichole and Nadia Tang are divorced from the now disowned Scott Tang due to the fact our children belong to our lover Rick Lee-Tang, but don't worry, tonight we will marry the babies true father, so congratulate us when you see us, thanks. We love you Ricky!]

     Rick.exe has stopped working! James, attempting to restart my thoughts, asked in amazement and disbelief.

     "Brother, is this some kind of prank the twins are up to? Or have you been green-hatting Scott all along?!"

     I looked at my friend and I really wanted to lie, but I just nodded to confirm his thoughts.

     "NO FUCKING WAY! Brother, are you telling me, you made babies with those two EVIL women?!"

     No, I can't be mad at him for calling them evil, why, well they have very sharp tongues with others that are not Rick or harem, so I just tell him.

     "It was a complicated event, but I fell in love with them. And yes their children are mine."

     James had his world turned over, how did his friend fall in love with his bullies from high-school?! Then James' eyes opened wide for getting the big picture.

     "Fuck, now I have to be nice to them! Um, Maybe they will be nice to me now?"

     Then Victoria and Ashley walked into class and the two gave me interesting looks. Victoria nodded to me and went to her desk, James immediately, like a trained puppy, rushed to Ashley's side and went to her desk next to Scott.

     While I was marking attendance, Cat Woo asked.

     "If you're a Tang now, will you stop the contest for Tina Feng?"

     "Nope."

     "Why, you can't lead the Fire Birds while handling Tang duties?"

     "Cat Woo, I will not let your husband have Tina Feng or my Mary. So I will fight him to knock him off his prideful pedestal of thinking his Woo Clan made him excellent."

     Cat laughed and explained to me.

     "His Woo clan? No, it is my Woo clan and he only took my name because he was only a talented commoner. So the pride he is showing is from me not his own. He only has talent and had the pick from Tony Feng behind him. Do you think if he was not Number 1 this Woo princess would have given him the time or day, no."

     I shake my head and tell her flatly.

     "Then I feel bad for you, because he only has a 1% chance of beating me. Even Tina's father knows I will beat his choice. So if you only married him because of his possible marriage to Tina or the control of the Fire Birds, then you are going to lose your investment."

     Cat's blue-eyes assessed my words for falsehoods and asked me.

     "Did my sparring matches with Steve truly reveal his art?"

     I stood up to take the form to Vicky and I told her.

     "Nope, I saw it the moment he targeted my wife. He took a stance subconsciously to want to kill me. I saw it then. I just wanted to not say that in public and shame you. Sorry for your loss."

     Cat Woo frowned at my words, like she knew her horse was going to lose after betting all her money on it. The Woo Clan is one of four subordinate families to the Feng in the Crimson State, like the Song is to the Tang.

     All subordinate families are distantly related to the main family they serve. That is why they are loyal. They are also the clans the main four families tend to look for spouses from.

     As I put the attendance onto Victoria's desk, her purple-eyes looked at me with complicated thoughts and asked me.

     "Rick, how should I address you in class now? Lee, Lee-Tang, or Tang?"

     "Teacher Long, just calling me anyway feels right for you is fine. Don't worry I don't have any intentions of shunning you for being a Long. I did not grow up as a noble, and my uncle told me to mostly do as I please."

     She smiles at my words of not taking the avoid Long approach with her. Then she smiled with a bit of interest and asked the rough question while holding up her phone-screen.

     "Student Lee, do your wives know about this interesting forum thread that came up this morning?"

     I scratch my cheek not expecting her to ask but it is out there now so...

     "My wives know everything, and yes it is true, but I had not expected them to openly expose it so suddenly."

     Victoria lost her smile and put on her teacher mode and asked.

     "Rick, I am sorry if this is a rude question but, are you sure they are pregnant with your children?"

     I can tell she is looking out for me here and I explain.

     "With 100% certainty. I have seen all the medical and time data. I um, was there after-all and well, they tricked me at the time."

     Victoria blushed a bit seeing my awkward face knowing her questions crossed the line of what a teacher should or could ask. But she had to know.

     "Did they know you were a Tang when they tricked you?"

     I can see curiosity in her eyes and I tell her.

     "No, that part caught them off guard. Well they did not want his child so they found a man that they wanted, but they and I fell for each-other in the end. Sorry if I disappointed you Miss Long, for my actions are shameless."

     She shook her head and told me.

     "You're my business student, and I only want you to be happy so you can succeed in our field. You seem happy so I am happy, now class will start soon so go back first."

     I had not noticed Victoria pulling out her phone to start texting someone concerning me. But I would find out tonight who she was talking with after my wedding.

     I see James is still flirting with Ashley as Scott sits there blankly forced to listen to the two. Then I sat down and readied for work. I had noticed Linda was still out and figured her Father was giving him the runaround not sure of their Lang stance on this sudden development.

     I suddenly notice all the students slowly start to look at me and gossip. They were holding their phones or looking at their laptops with amusement, and were just missing popcorn. I can of course guess it's because of my twins.

     Scott must have overheard something because he is pulling his phone out, oops don't do it bro!

     Suddenly from my back-left from the class doors, Linda came in crying her eyes out, and without saying anything pulled my arm to come into the hall where others could not see.

-

     When we got around the corner, she fell into my chest sobbing and I patted her back to calm her down. I now remember Mei telling me to wear a different suit, and seeing the tears and snot coming from this normally ice-cold beauty made me glad I did.

     "Linda, what's wrong? I can't help if I don't know what's wrong?"

     Linda hearing my caring words only squeezed me tighter and cried harder in my chest. She was shaking her head in a 'no' motion like my words are wrong, but she has not looked into my eyes yet. So I assumed it must be the worst news and rubbed her back and asked.

     "Is your dad still making you marry Scott?"

     Still crying in my chest her head shook for no.

     "That is good, right?"

     This time she nodded yes, so I see she just can't talk right now but she can understand all of my questions so I asked.

     "Then is your father going to have you marry another man?"

     She started to calm down and she really did wipe her tears on my jacket. Without looking up she mumbled to me.

     "Rick, please marry me?"

     I pat her back and take a deep breath, then I explain.

     "Linda, I am Tang now and I don't want to start issues with your Lang family. And if you leave them and wanted to be with me, my clan and yours would have problems, so I-"

     Linda, still with wet-eyes, looked at me and kissed me with no experience. No tongue was exchanged, but her salty lips from tears were transferred to me. Her eyes are closed and she is letting me feel her care for me.

     My arms betray me and hold her to show I am not regretting her confession. 

     I sigh in my heart because I might have to go to economic war with her father and the Lang on behalf of the Tang. I believe if I am serious I can hurt them economically.

     Still holding me like I will escape, she stopped the kiss and with her flat expression and a hint of hope in her eyes she asked again.

     "Rick, please marry me?"

     "Linda, I am not doing this to protect you. I am not doing this out of guilt. But.. I will do this because you asked and I have always liked you. Just don't be mad at me if Lang and I have a falling out because of this 'Yes' I give you."

     Linda had the slightest genuine smile as she held up her phone to me. So I read the latest text she got.

     [George Lang: Alright I just got off the phone with Anthony Tang and found out what is going on. I have discussed this with your mother as well. This is what the situation is... Head Tang personally still wants the marriage of Tang and Lang to continue despite the terrible fallout in their family at the moment. He said if Rick Lee-Tang accepts it, he would fully support the union between the two of you. However he said you must have Rick's agreement to marry you. If he refuses, then I shall find another husband. That's it, find out his answer. If he agrees however, the wedding will still not happen until next summer after your sister's. That is all.]

     Her grey-eyes looked at me while I finished reading and I asked.

     "Do you know that I am marrying Nadia and Nichole tonight?"

     "Yes."

     "Then do you still want to be my fiance after knowing that?"

     "Yes."

     "Then do you want to come and explain our decision to everyone at the wedding tonight?"

     "Yes."

     "Then tell your father and I will tell my uncle about it."

     Her face has returned to her default but her eyes are so happy at this moment getting her wish granted, and not 3 days after I promised her.

     "Yes."

     Just as the mood was getting warm we heard a wounded animal!

     [AARGH!]

     Slam! Busting through the door I closed, was a crying and ashamed pissed Scott!

     It was apparent he found out everything and was fleeing in anger and shame, and when he ran into the hall, he froze mid-yelling and only saw me holding Linda in an intimate embrace as the two of us looked at him dumbly.

     Linda crueler than I ever imagined saw Scott's face and she only leaned her head into my chest again and smiled. Fuck vicious!

     Thunk! Fortunately for Scott the door automatically closed keeping the class from seeing his broken face.

     "Ha... Ha-Ha... I can't believe it, ha-ha! Wow I think the world is backwards! Ha-ha... sniff-sniff-sniff. No, You're still trash... You stole everything from me... sniff-sniff-sniff."

     He only slowly turned to walk to the elevators. He knows I can fight and I carry a gun, so he has only begun to sniffle and calmly leave. I say one last thing to him.

     "Our slate is now clean. But if you want to come at me some more... I will play you to death. I will take more than your life Scott, so think really hard on your actions."

     While wiping his face he just looked at me and it was like we both just relived our whole 5 years together at that moment. He looks like I did before my awakening.

     As the elevator doors opened he just gave me the middle-finger and as the doors started to close,  I returned my own middle-finger and we both smiled at each-other.

     "Will you and he continue to fight?"

     "Dunno, but I hope he can stop, or I will have to kill him."

     "Rick, I will make up for my first words to you in high-school. You proved me wrong in every-way, and I will listen to you from now on."

     Before going back to class, I kissed Linda one more time, and she was very eager...
