Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 216 - The guest is him

Chapter 216: Chapter 216 The guest is him

“Little Dongfang, please stay with us for lunch. Auntie will cook some special dishes for you, haha,” my stepmother was so happy after hearing what Dongfang said. Holding her in her arms like a Barbie doll, she was reluctant to let her go. Dongfang little brat also shot the work this time. In order to curry favor with my stepmother, she didn’t hesitate to let her ravage her delicate face. After my stepmother stroke and squeezed her face repeatedly, her facial skin seemed to have become even smoother.

My old man also smiled and said, “Xiao Nan, isn’t it your day off today? So you can stay here too. It just happened that we have two guests visiting us today. You can help me entertain them and have a few drinks with them.”

How would I dare to tell my old man that I had already resigned from Fengchang. If I told him, he would definitely kill me. You have to know that although my old man never mentioned it in front of me, he was secretly proud that I was able to get into such a big company this young. I could only suppress the panic in my heart and try to make a joke to distract myself, “entertain guests and have a drink with them? I am not a pretty bar girl, are you not scared that I would scare away your guest? Hehe, besides, all your friends are knowledgeable and learned scholars, are you not worried that I would do something that would make you feel embarrassed?”

I was not trying to be modest. My old man thought highly of himself. Although he had a wide social circle, he didn’t have that many close friends. He would occasionally get together with the friends and colleagues that he had known for many years and the topics they talked about were either the philosophies of life or the great truth of life, which would always make me want to stay far away from them.

“It’s not those people,” my old man took a sip of the tea brought by Dongfang little brat and said, “I can guarantee that you will definitely have a lot of common topics. On the contrary, you probably don’t want to have this old man around. Hehe.”

I was dazed, but then I saw my stepmother smile at me, her eyes were full of satisfaction and pride. Like my old man, she also didn’t want to disclose who the guests were. But Dongfang little brat couldn’t help asking: “Auntie, uncle. Since there will be guests coming later, I think it is not appropriate for me to stay. . .”

Dongfang Lianren frowned slightly. Even Chu Yuan also looked at me, feeling troubled. Only until this moment, did I remember that those two girls didn’t like noisy environments. Moreover, they didn’t like to stay around strangers. Originally, I also wanted to leave, but looking at those two girls’ reactions, I changed my mind. If they kept staying like this, it would not be good for them in the future.

“There is nothing inappropriate.” My stepmother stroked Dongfang’s head and smiled, “he will come with his girlfriend, who seems to be just a few years older than you. So please stay, it will be more lively to have more people around.”

My stepmother looked at Chu Yuan first, then looked at Dongfang again, and then sighed helplessly. From this, I could tell that she must have found out that she had been misled by the false impression created by Dongfang little brat. She had mistakenly thought that Dongfang Lianren was a lively and talkative girl. But she didn’t expect that this kid would only be close to the people related to Chu Yuan, or. . . It was because of Chu Yuan that she would pretend to be lively and talkative. At other times, she would probably be even more shut-in than Chu Yuan.

Dongfang Lianren didn’t know how to refuse it, so she could only agree to my stepmother’s request. Then my stepmother happily took the two girls out to buy groceries. I even suspected that the reason why my stepmother wanted them to stay so much was probably that she wanted a helper in the kitchen. After all, Chu Yuan has inherited her great cooking skills, and although my stepmother looked like a diligent person, she was actually a very lazy person. Otherwise, Chu Yuan wouldn’t have been able to develop such great cooking skills, and she wouldn’t have asked Dongfang little brat before leaving the house, “little Dongfang, can you cook?”

From this, it could be seen that my dear stepmother was really something else. . .

The guests arrived before my stepmother came back. Hearing the doorbell rang, I hurried to the door. When our eyes met, all of us were dazed.

“Xiao Nan, I didn’t know that you would be home.” Putting down the fruit basket and several bags of gifts, the man gave me a bearhug like we were close friends for many years. This affectionate attitude made the quiet girl behind him completely dumbfounded.

“Lao Guo?” Only until this moment did I realize who the guest the old man mentioned was. I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “so the guest my old man said was you.”

The visitor was the owner of the Heng Xiang Group and the proud student of my old man, Guo Xiang!

Guo Xiang also laughed heartily, “what, am I not welcomed?”

“How could I? Please do come in. By the way. . . Can you stop hugging me now?” I looked at the quiet girl who was standing behind him with a slightly surprised face, and said, “I am not a pretty girl. If you keep hugging me so passionately, are you not afraid of being misunderstood by the real pretty girl?”

Hearing this, the quiet girl hurriedly shook her hand, “No, no, I did not mistake you two for being gay. . . Ah! Sorry, I didn’t mean that!”

I was speechless. . . She had already said what she had in her mind. Guo Xiang and I looked at each other and couldn’t help laughing at the same time.

The girl was dazed for a moment and immediately laughed with us. Until the laughter subsided, she blushed and said, “Elder Brother Nan, don’t get me wrong. I am just a little bit surprised because I have never seen him like this. He is usually very polite to people, rarely so passionate. It seems that your friendship is really deep.”

Working side by side for a month during the investment period, Guo Xiang and I got to know a lot more about each other. After everything was done and after we both got what we wanted, our trust in each other increased a lot. However, although our relationship indeed got closer, it still has not reached the level of a best friend. So when the girl said that our friendship was close, we both blushed. But even though we were pretending to be close friends at the moment, with the nature of our characters, there was no doubt that we would really become good friends in the future.

“Haha,” I laughed. Looking at the young girl, I had already guessed who she might be, but I still was not sure. So I asked, “Lao Guo, this young lady is. . .”

“I’m sorry. I forgot to introduce you to each other first,” Guo Xiang patted his forehead and said slightly shyly, “Xingyu, he is the son of Teacher Chu I mentioned to you, our great benefactor, Chu Nan, Xiao Nan, this is my girlfriend, Xingyu.”

Xingyu? I seemed to have heard this name somewhere. I was a little dazed, but I couldn’t remember it clearly. . . I shook hands with this quiet girl, but I felt a little strange. When Guo Xiang said “girlfriend”, his tone was quite unnatural.

“Er. . . Excuse me, Miss Xingyu. . .”

“Elder Brother Nan, you can just call me Xingyu. You and Guo Xiang are good friends, calling me miss would make me look like a stranger.” This girl named Xingyu looked quiet and shy, but when she spoke, she exuded a faint demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family. Looking at her dress, although it was very simple, it was all very famous brands. So she definitely came from a wealthy background.

“Hehe, in fact, based on your relationship with Lao Guo, I should call you an elder sister-in-law.”

“Please don’t!” She was still a girl after all. Hearing this, her face instantly flushed red, and her voice also became as quiet as a mosquito, “Elder Brother Nan is older, I should call you elder brother.”

“If this is the case, then I won’t insist on it anymore,” I said with a smile: “Xingyu, how old are you?”

Xing Yu immediately responded with a red face, “Elder Brother Nan, that’s not a polite question.”

I also knew that it was rude. The biggest secret in the world was the age of a woman. So the girl already gave me enough face without scolding me on the spot when I asked this kind of question. I chuckled and said, “Don’t get me wrong. Because you look almost as old as my little sister, so I am a little curious.”

This girl had an oval-shaped face, thin eyebrows, and big eyes. With her exquisite facial features, her look was above average, which could be considered a pretty girl. But she was still not comparable to the pretty women that often appear around me. However, I was curious that she was clearly a young girl, but why did she want to pretend to be mature?

But, no matter how young she was, she should be in her early twenties.

Guo Xiang sighed and then used a teasing tone to reply, “see? I told you not to deliberately make yourself look older. His eyes are very sharp, no matter how you disguise yourself, and how you pretend it, he can see through it at one glance. Moreover, he is only twenty-three, but you call him elder brother as soon as you meet him, isn’t that tantamount to telling him your age?”

From what Guo Xiang said, it could be seen that Xingyu was indeed very young. And probably because she was afraid of being laughed at, so she made herself look more mature. Guo Xiang was also a little embarrassed and smiled at me: “I knew it would not deceive you. Xingyu is twenty years old this year, and she is still a college student.”

“Lolicon?” As soon as I blurted it out, I felt that this joke was quite inappropriate. Xingyu’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment. Seeing this, I laughed and said, “Having such a young and pretty girlfriend, Lao Guo is a truly fortunate man.”

“You are flattering us,” Guo Xiang held Xingyu’s hand lovingly and said modestly, “whether it was talent or appearance, Xingyu is still nowhere near miss Mo.”

Why did you want to compare them? As expected, this guy has misunderstood my relationship with Mo Fei. . .

“Please come in, let’s talk inside, hehe, my old man is waiting for you.” I didn’t know if it was my illusion. When Xingyu heard ‘Miss Mo’, there were obviously a few ripples in her gentle watery eyes, and the way she looked at me also became strange.

“Wait! . .” Guo Xiang suddenly grabbed me, his expression became serious, and he lowered his voice and asked, “Xiao Nan, I heard that you were fired by Fengchang, is that true?”

Seeing the guilty expression on Guo Xiang’s face, I guessed that he probably thought that I was fired because of him. “No, they didn’t fire me. I resigned.” I tried to say it casually, but at the thought of the real reason that I left the company, my response became slightly unnatural.

Guo Xiang was not curious about the difference between the two. His face became more guilty. He glanced at the equally apologetic Xingyu, and then sighed and said, “I’m sorry, it was all because of me that you lost your job. . .”

Tears also appeared in the corners of Xing Yu’s eyes, she lowered her head and said, “Elder Brother Nan, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect that it would cause you such big trouble. . .”
