Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 187 - Not Friend Arc— Foolish

Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Not Friend Arc— Foolish

I knew all about Mo Fei’s misfortune, but I didn’t know why Mo Yizhi wanted to tell me this, so I interrupted: “Please answer my question!”

As if immersed in sad memories, he didn’t answer my question but continued to say: “She was originally a very quiet girl, but then she became even quieter since that accident, gradually alienating her friends around her. I was worried that she would develop some kind of mental problem if she kept living like that, so I sent her out of the country to study abroad. I thought that living in a new environment for a while would help her ease the pain in her heart, but that was not the case. She still shut herself off, not willing to speak to anyone or smile or make any friends. But she was a good kid. She understood that I was worried about her, so whether it was study or work, she tried her best to do it. It was not until you appeared that she began to change. Especially in the past month, her smile became more obvious and she became more lively. I thought she finally stepped out of the shadow and gradually opened her heart to others. . . But now I know, I was wrong. . .”

“Chairman, I just want to know why Fei Fei was lying to me?” I was trying to deceive myself, thinking that the person who lied to me was actually Mo Yizhi.

“She didn’t treat you as a friend, she just longed for your care. That’s why she lied to you.” Mo Yizhi reached out and pointed to his desk, and Long Shan immediately went over and took a small picture frame on the table. While she handed it to me, I heard Mo Yizhi continue to say: “You were treated as a stand-in by her, his stand-in.”

I took over the frame in confusion and looked at the person in the photo. Then I was stunned.

Judging from the style of clothing and some displayed objects, this photo was taken at least ten years ago. The background should be in an office, and there was a thin, handsome, and scholarly man, who was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses that were absolutely avant-garde at the time sitting behind a messy desk. There was a kind smile on his slightly exhausted face, which seemed familiar. . .

My hands were shaking, and my voice was trembling, “This person is. . .”

“Does he look like you? No, it should be said that you look a lot like him. If he is still alive, he will be fifty years old this year,” Mo Yizhi said sadly: “He is Fei’er’s father, my younger brother who had already passed away.”

The tea did not moisturize my throat. The dry feeling of my throat made me swallow my saliva, otherwise I would not be able to make a sound, “Chairman, you said Fei Fei lied to me because. . .” Such a reality was so shocking that it made me completely feel at a loss for words.

“A year ago, when you were accepted by the Investment Department, I had already noticed you. It was just that Fei’er had almost no contact with you, so I just thought it was a coincidence. After losing the original assistant, you gradually became familiar with her, I still thought that this was normal. . . Until yesterday, I learned that you secretly cooperated with Heng Xiang Company. . .”

I have calmed down a little bit. From what Mo Yizhi said, I could tell that he suspected that the reason why Mo Fei hired me was that I looked like her father, “You have known about Wu Xueqing’s debt long ago?” Regarding the way I addressed Wu Xueqing, I was longer polite.

“That kind of heartless woman always lingers by Fei’er side, how can I not pay attention to her?” As Mo Fei said, Mo Yizhi’s dislike for Wu Xueqing was really deep, but then I saw him sigh and say: “Fei’er has already lost her father, so I can’t really drive her mother away from her. I can only watch her silently with one eye closed, hoping that she can realize one day that that woman is not worthy to be her mother. However, she is too emotionally attached to her mother. Even when the loan shark found her mother, she still didn’t tell me. Only until then did I know that I was very native. All Fei’er saving was wasted by that woman. Where was she going to get three hundred thousands?”

“So you pay off the debt for her?” I had always found it strange that although Sang Yingjie was bluffed by me and promised to give me one more month to pay off the debt, it was impossible that he would not investigate my background afterward. For those people, this kind of thing was not a difficult task at all, but they never came to my house, and even until the repayment date, they had never urged it once. So there was only one reasonable explanation left – the money had already been paid back, so they didn’t need to investigate me.

“The money has long been paid back. I asked Shan’er to do it personally, but it was in your name.” Mo Yizhi smiled at me with a complicated expression. “Young man, you are really courageous. In just a few words, you are able to fool them to give you one more month’s time, but have you ever thought that it would bring you a lot of trouble afterward if they find out what your background really is.”

There were mixed feelings inside my heart, and I couldn’t tell whether it was ashamed or moved. Mo Yizhi was so thoughtful that it made me feel ashamed that I was taken care of by him without knowing it.

“But I still want to thank you. Using your name could also avoid the embarrassment of the Mo family. If people know that the Mo family actually borrowed money from a loan shark. . . We can’t afford to lose this face. . .”

Er… I was speechless. . . It turned out that they were trying to save their own face. . .

I asked in confusion, “About the bluffing, where did you hear it? From Fei Fei?” Only me, Mo Fei, and Wu Xueqing knew about this, Wu Xueqing and I wouldn’t tell him anything about this, so I could only be Mo Fei.

“Mhm. . .” Mo Yizhi nodded slightly, pushing my heart deeper into the bottomless pit. Sure enough, Mo Fei had already known that Mo Yizhi had paid the loan shark for her.

“That day, because of persuading Fei’er to leave her mother, she also had a big argument with me, and the result was that she cried until her eyes became swollen. She was afraid that her mother would find out when she went back home, so she didn’t dare to go back home that day, and the next morning, she also didn’t come to the company. After that, I had no choice but to promise her that I would let her mother off the hook this time. Originally, I thought this thing was already over, but I didn’t expect that this kid would. . .”

Cried until her eyes became swollen? Didn’t come to work the next morning? My heart skipped a beat and I interrupted him, “In. . . Shangri-La Hotel?”

Mo Yizhi was confused for a moment, “How did you know?”

How could I not know it? ! It turned out that Mo Fei was with Mo Yizhi that day. So, last night too?

“Guess it.”

“Oh, right, you sent Fei’er her mother there yesterday.” Sure enough, Mo Fei was also with Mo Yizhi yesterday. Then I heard Mo Yizhi sighed and said: “Now you understand? Why do I want you to leave Fei’er?”

So Mo Fei didn’t have a boyfriend. . . I was inexplicably relieved. Returning to the original topic, my mind was a little confused, “Why?”

“Because, she didn’t treat you as a friend, but as a substitute for her father,” Mo Yizhi’s calm expression covered the traces of helplessness and worry. She longs for you to care for her like a father, and wants to act like a child in front of you, that’s why she hid the fact that I had already paid off the debt from you. . .”

Although Mo Yizhi did not carry on, I already understood what he meant. Mo Fei did not regard me as a friend, but as a substitute for her father. . . What was this? Was this father complex?

My first reaction was mocking myself. But this incomprehensible reaction made my heart skip a beat again. Father complex? Now it finally made sense. . . Thinking about it carefully, if Mo Fei really treated me as a substitute for her father, then many of her weird behaviors could be easily explained. For example, she insisted going to the amusement park with me at that time was not because she wanted to go out with her friends, it was because she was jealous that Kang Kang called me “daddy”!

No wonder she knew my relationship with Liusu, but she still wanted to get closer to me! No wonder she would kiss my cheek without thinking about any consequence because she was acting like a little girl!

So it turned out that this was the reason. . . I was such a ridiculous existence!

I wanted to laugh, laughed at how foolish I was! But the corners of my mouth could only twitch, and the muscles on my face were no longer under my own control. From the sympathetic eyes of Mo Yizhi and Long Shan, I could imagine how pitiful my expression was.

As Mo Fei just said before running out, ‘Chu Nan, you don’t know, you don’t know anything at all!’

Yes! I was a fool! Because I didn’t know anything!
