Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 349 - Ziyuan

Chapter 349: Chapter 350 Ziyuan

“The person I like is Liusu.”

For the first time, I answered this question positively and simply, because the person who asked me was a friend who I grew up with, so I didn’t have that much psychological pressure, but after the words were spoken, the corners of my mouth twitched unconsciously. I didn’t think I lied, but I didn’t know why there was a pang of guilt in my heart.

Was I really a philanderer… Even when Ziyuan commented that Dong Xiaoye resembled my stepmother, my heart trembled clearly.

“You don’t need to be this straightforward, right?” Ziyuan was slightly surprised, and then sighed pretentiously, “If Officer Dong and Mo Fei heard this answer from you, they would be very sad…”

I didn’t continue this topic. I clenched the steering wheel, looked ahead, and said in a deep voice, “How do you know that Dong Xiaoye is not my cousin? And… I don’t think Xiaoye’s character is something you can see through at a glance…”

Ziyuan sat upright, put away the playfulness on her face, but still kept smiling, “What do you think?”

Before I said anything, my words were blocked by her question, “By the way, I haven’t asked you yet. Who is the girl that came out earlier?”

“Little Dongfang?” I had been a little too nervous recently. Every time I heard the word ‘Dongfang’, it would startle me. I was always worried that a group of people would suddenly jump out, press me on the ground, and accuse me of abducting underage girls while putting handcuffs on me.

So when Ziyuan asked, I was a little panicked. I tried my best to hide my anxiousness so that it would not make me look so guilty, and naturally smiled, “She is a classmate of Yuan Yuan. Because she has a little argument with her family, she is currently staying at my flat.”

“Really? Hehe, nowadays, children are really spoiled, they can be a little bit handful. But from her appearance, she seems to be pretty well-behaved, and she is as cute as Yuan Yuan. How old is she? Is she also sixteen? Why did she run away from home?”

I felt that Ziyuan was changing the topic deliberately. She didn’t want me to guess, nor did she want to tell me why she knew Dong Xiaoye wasn’t my cousin. At least, it appeared so at the moment.

Along the way, Ziyuan was the one who was controlling the topic, and the topics were almost all around Chu Yuan, Dongfang, or the relationship between Liusu, Mo Fei, Dong Xiaoye, and me. I could only answer absentmindedly while thinking to myself that I also had so many questions, but where do I even start?

“Are you staying at a hotel now?”

Earlier I had been wondering why the direction Ziyuan showed me was the direction of the company, but it turned out that she was currently living in a three-star hotel near the company.

“My house was sold five years ago. I originally wanted to stay in your flat for a while, but it’s a pity that your place is full.” Ziyuan’s attitude was unpredictable, I couldn’t tell if she was joking or serious, so I didn’t know how to respond to her. Seeing me smiling bitterly, she smiled and punched me on the shoulder, “I was joking. Knowing that you already have a girlfriend, you think I would disturb you?”

I shook my head and said, “It’s not safe to live in a hotel by yourself alone. I will tell my mom to clean the room. You can live in my parents’ house. After all, there are still two empty rooms…”

Ziyuan was dazed. After a faint light flashed in her eyes, she jokingly said, “Don’t be too good to me, or your love quadrangle will develop into a quinque-angle love.”

“Will it?” My heart beat fiercely. I tried to calm myself down and also jokingly said, “If you can fall in love with other people just because they are nice to you, then your bar is really low.”

My worry was real and sincere, but I also knew that my worry was actually unnecessary. The Third Lady was a powerful and influential woman, even if she was living in a hotel, her safety would still not be a problem. It was just that I didn’t understand why such a wealthy Third Lady was willing to book an expensive room for Shu Tong’s parents in Shangri-La hotel, but she herself only stayed in a three-star hotel? Moreover, it was this hotel…

Ziyuan was silent after I said that. She was walking before me with her head down. Just when I thought that what I said made her angry, she finally said, “My bar varies from person to person. I will not fall in love with other people if they are nice to me. But you are different…” She said softly as we got into the elevator.

I couldn’t see her expression, but I could see the blush spread across her neck. If it weren’t because the elevator door had been closed, I believed that I would’ve already run away after hearing this answer…

As soon as we entered the room, Ziyuan took off her shoes, jumped onto the bed barefoot, and grabbed the landline at the bedside. While dialing a number, she turned her head, and smiled at me, “What do you think? It’s not bad, right?”

This woman. She seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing atmosphere in the elevator. Seeing her behaving like this, I didn’t know whether I should laugh or cry. Sometimes, she behaved like the Ziyuan I used to know, but other times, she behaved like the Ziyuan that I had never met before. This was the feeling she gave me.

“This hotel is the most economical and most affordable in Bei Tian City, especially on the sunny side of this floor. Looking out the window, not only can you see the Fengchang Headquarters building, but you can also overlook the neon lights of the entire commercial street. This night view is also worth the money.”

“Oh? It seems like you know this hotel quite well,” Ziyuan pouted her mouth and said, “I was trying to give you a surprise, but I think it failed terribly.”

As expected, she knew already that I would send her back… If it weren’t for Min Rou’s sudden appearance, the Shu family would’ve been staying in this hotel right now. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

As the “elite” of the general operation team of the investment department, we would not only run errands between various departments, but also receive the company clients. Of course, the so-called “receive” here was not to accompany the clients to restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Those were the tasks of the public relations department. We were only responsible for the hard work behind the scenes, such as arranging clients to stay in a certain hotel and contacting special services for lecherous clients…

Anyone who had stayed in a hotel knew the real messages behind calls like “Do you need a massage service?”. On the surface, the hotel denied that it had nothing to do with the type of people who provided sexual services, but in fact, they were working together. Because the people in the general operation team were only qualified to receive those low-level clients, so over time, I became a regular “customer” of the “massage club”.

One of the benefits of becoming their regular was that the ‘Massage Club’ would provide me the room that the hotels gave them for free at a low price. For example, for a business suite that would normally cost around RMB 400 to RMB 500 per day, I only needed to pay RMB 100 to RMB 150…

When working in the general operation team, I would receive at least three to four guests every month. Every time, I would book at least two to three rooms, and each client would stay at least two to three days at a time. So you can imagine how much money I would be able to make from this task a year…

I never said that I was a righteous person. To me, liking Mo Fei and making some money off the company’s allowance were always two different things to me. At least the expenses I claimed were the expenses that every other person would get, it was just that other people would not get a discount, but I would.

Unlike the public relations department, there would always be a few sums of money that could not be accounted for every month. Besides, the public relations department also looked down on such small clients who only lived in three-star hotels.

Anyway, I digressed. Back to the hotel that Ziyuan booked. It was exactly because I knew this hotel was involved in this kind of dirty business, so I felt that it was inappropriate for a girl like her to live here.

“Hi, is this the restaurant? Could you please send me some supper to room 8088. I need two sets of tableware. Any dishes are fine. Wine?” Ziyuan turned her head to look at me again, smiled, and continued to speak to the person on the phone, “I don’t need wine. But can you please send me two wine glasses and an ice bucket?”

After that, she hung up the phone and took out two bottles of red wine from under her body like magic. “I already got wine. Hehe, I declined Chairman Mo’s dinner invitation tonight, but he insisted on giving me two bottles of Lafite. Xiao Nan, you wouldn’t mind accompanying me to eat something before leaving, would you?”

Lafite… If Ziyuan was really just a ‘normal girl’ who just got a degree and went to Fengchang to apply for the position of assistant to the general manager, I really couldn’t think of the reason why Mo Yizhi would invite her to dinner.

However, I had to decline her invitation. There were three reasons. The first one was that Chu Yuan would definitely get angry if I drank any alcohol; the second one was that my alcohol tolerance was low; the third one was that I was used to seeing Liusu getting drunk, so I didn’t like alcohol. So when I saw the wine bottles in Ziyuan’s hand, I frowned slightly, “Didn’t you just finish your dinner earlier?”

“I just bought a midnight snack and brought it to Yuan Yuan, but I haven’t eaten anything myself,” Ziyuan finally put away the hypocritical or reluctant smile and said, “You know that I was just using that as an excuse to go to your flat. Besides, you also have a lot to ask me, right? “
