Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 139 - The Rival Who Has Never Met

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 The Rival Who Has Never Met

“Yeah, I understand.” Liu Xiaosheng’s reaction was beyond my expectation. He smiled lightly, and did not implicitly deny or tactfully admit, but openly confessed, seeing Shu Tong’s satisfied smile, I felt a chill. If he isn’t really an upright person, he must be a very cunning man who knows how to read other people.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion. I always feel that when those two people stand together, it seems very off. It is like the modern version of Cinderella. Perhaps it is because one is too native and the other is too sophisticated.

I was hesitating whether to go out and pretend to meet them by chance, and say hello to them, but then Liu Xiaosheng, who was about to turn around and leave, asked Shu Tong as if he suddenly remembered something, “Oh right, about your cousin’s boyfriend, what is his name again?”

I couldn’t help being dazed, then I heard Shu Tong say: “Chu Nan.”

“Chu Nan… Chu Nan of Fengchang Group…”

“What happened?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, just asking,” Liu Xiaosheng smiled slightly, and then said: “He and your cousin, are they really… boyfriend and girlfriend?”

Normally it was quite normal that Liu Xiaosheng would want to ask about my name. However, although he tried his best to show a natural tone, the following question still made me feel very strange. He was questioning my relationship with Liusu! Moreover, there was a surprise that could not be suppressed in his tone. The eyes he used to look at Shu Tong were full of ardent expectation.

Shu Tong was too dense, and she didn’t think much about Liu Xiaosheng’s question. She smiled: “They are colleagues, and they all work in Fengchang Group. Chu Nan’s little sister happens to be my student. It is such a small world.”

“Yes, it is…” Liu Xiaosheng still smiled, and he was extremely happy, but the taste of happiness is intriguingly complicated, and his tone was more perfunctory, and he seemed a little absent-minded, “Chu Nan, Cheng Liusu, haha, It is indeed a small world…”

There was a faint uncomfortable feeling in my heart. I can’t tell what exactly it was, but I just felt that when Liu Xiaosheng repeated my name, his tone was quite strange. It seemed like he was not unfamiliar with my name…

There were probably other people in the room, and Liu Xiaosheng, who had reformed his expression, said to the people in the door: “In that case, Director Tang, Xiao Tong, and her friends, I will trouble you to take care of them.”

“Mr. Liu, don’t worry, I didn’t know that Miss Shu is your distinguished guest earlier, so I have neglected her, but I’ll handle it personally from now, and make sure that Miss Shu and all her guests can enjoy the resort, and all the meals and accommodations will be arranged by me.”

My eyeballs almost fell on the ground, and the guy who walked out of the room while talking, turned out to be Tang Lian who had just invited Dongfang Lianren, Director Tang!

Shu Tong was flattered and hurriedly said: “This is not suitable…”

“Miss Shu, don’t be so polite, you are Mr. Liu’s…friend, then you are my friend as well, and please give me the opportunity to fulfill the friendship as a landlord here.” This Tang person was surely not an ordinary person. He could tell that the relationship between Liu Xiaosheng and Shu Tong, and to what extent has their relationship developed, the words he said were neither obsequious nor supercilious, but in fact, it cleverly bid up Liu Xiaosheng’s status. This flattery is clever!

Liu Xiaosheng was also not an ordinary person. From his expression, I couldn’t even tell if he was happy with Tang Lian’s flattery. He just smiled lightly at Shu Tong: “Just listen to Director Tang. We are all friends. Too polite will make us feel like we are strangers.”

The joy that flowed between Tang Lian’s eyebrows finally made me realize something, the distinguished guest that he told Dongfang was probably Liu Xiaosheng.

I couldn’t help but wonder. Combining the conversation between Tang Lian and Dongfang, if the person he prepared the banquet for was Liu Xiaosheng, then it proved that Liu Xiaosheng decided to show off his wealth in front of Shu Tong, and Tang Lian wanted to invite Dongfang to the banquet obviously also had the intention of showing off to Liu Xiaosheng. From this, it was not difficult to get a surprising conclusion – the background of Dongfang brat was even scarier than Liu Xiaosheng…

However, what made me even more strange was that since Tang Lian dared to invite Dongfang Lianren, it meant that he was very sure that Liu Xiaosheng would stay for dinner, otherwise, he would definitely disrespect the ‘Miss’. Seeing that Tang Lian was so clever and scheming, he was definitely not a self-defeating fool. Therefore, Liu Xiaosheng was anxious to leave, it must be a decision that he had just made. But why is he so anxious? Is it really something urgent that he needs to deal with in the company?

Perhaps, I was thinking too much, but… What kind of urgent matter would make him unable to even spare a little time to meet Liusu and me? And, when he asked my name, why did he look so weird?

Maybe, I was really thinking too much…

“Eh? Ms. Shu, you are here.”

Only after Tang Lian walked away with Liu Xiaosheng did I walk out of the bathroom.

“Chu Nan?” Ms. Shu was startled.

I pretended to look at the corner where I could no longer see the two of them and murmured as if talking to myself: “The person who walked past just now looks like Young Master Liu of The Liu family’s corporate group..”

Shu Tong was about to turn around and call Liu Xiaosheng. Hearing my words, she couldn’t help but stop. She looked at me in surprise and said, “Do you know Liu Xiaosheng?” She was really a dense woman, she didn’t realize that I was pretending. There was no way I would be able to see them if I just got out of the bathroom now.

“Liu Xiaosheng? Is it really Liu Xiaosheng from The Liu family’s corporate group?” Shu Tong’s reaction undoubtedly confirmed my suspicion. A thin layer of sweat suddenly surfaced on my forehead, but I was secretly ashamed. Lying to innocent Ms. Shu gave me a weird guilty feeling as if I was a strange uncle who was trying to deceive a little girl.

“Mhm,” Shu Tong said with a ruddy face, “He is my friend, but there are some urgent things in his company, so he must rush back to deal with it immediately…”

I wasn’t listening to Shu Tong at all. There was confusion in my mind. It seemed that one of the people who sent flowers to Mo Fei yesterday and wanted to invite Mo Fei to dinner was the young master of the Liu Group. Could it be that these two young masters are the same person?

Even if it is the same person, sending flowers and inviting Mo Fei to dinner does not mean admiration or pursuit. It may be just normal business social activities, but Mo Fei’s attitude of rejection was obviously difficult for people to think about it this way. Then I remembered what Song Jia said yesterday, that Young Master Liu and Zhang Mingjie seem to have known each other for a very long time…

If the two young masters are really the same person, it is no wonder that Liu Xiaosheng would be excited after knowing my name. Suppose Zhang Mingjie told him about the “scandal” between me and Mo Fei, and he also had the intention of chasing Mo Fei, then he naturally cared about me being in the banquet. If he misunderstood my relationship with Mo Fei, and he suddenly knew from Shu Tong that I and Liusu were going out…

Could it be that… the reason why he left in a hurry was to hide from me? This was probably the only explanation.

He was happy to know about my relationship with Liusu, but he did not want to be known about his relationship with Shu Tong. There was only one reason, he wanted to get rid of me, this enemy on the path of pursuing Mo Fei…

I glanced at Shu Tong, who was still talking with a complicated mood, but I could not hear her voice at all. A strange worry began to emerge from my mind; does Liu Xiaosheng really like her, or is he simply playing with her?

There was no strange relationship between me and Mo Fei. With Liu Xiaosheng’s appearance and family background, if Mo Fei became his girlfriend, what about Shu Tong?

Then the young master’s Liu’s actor-like eyes flashed across my mind, and I couldn’t help but shudder…

What am I worried about? As I wiped the sweat from my forehead, I comforted myself and said: It is not certain whether the two Young Master Liu are the same person. Whether they have any intentions of chasing Mo Fei is just my own conjecture. Even if it is like what I think it is, it also has nothing to do with me.

Alas, Chu Nan, if you have time to think about other things, why not solve your own problems first!

But the more I want to let go, the more disgusted I felt. Damn it, don’t tell me that, that Liu person will really speak ill of me in front of Mo Fei?
