Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 278 - Dongfang Is Missing?

Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Dongfang Is Missing?

“Then don’t say those things again, hehe.” Dong Xiaoye patted Liusu on the shoulder and said with a smile. When she turned to look at me, the smile on her face disappeared all of sudden. Just when I was startled by the sudden change, I heard her carry on with a tone that was neither indifferent nor enthusiastic, “By the way, Little Chu, what I said to you last night was all just drunk talk, so don’t take it seriously.”

My heart skipped a beat. I glanced at Liusu instinctively, and then subconsciously pretended to be confused, “what you said? What did you say?!”

Maybe I was pretending to be stupid, or maybe, I was really stupid…

Dong Xiaoye’s cheeks flushed, and she said lightly, “it’s better if you don’t remember. As long as you remember that once you recover, you have to invite me to a seafood meal for a week.”

“Sure, that’s not a problem…”

“Hump! You don’t have the dirty money to pay the bill this time, I’ll definitely bleed you dry by ordering tons of food.”

“Although I don’t have much money, it shouldn’t be a big problem to feed you for a week. Besides, Little Dongfang’s family seems to have a seafood restaurant. Hehe, based on her friendship with Yuan Yuan, she will definitely give me a discount.”

“What do you mean by feeding me? Do you think I’m a pig like you?” Dong Xiaoye scolded with a smile. She then bade farewell to Liusu and took Zhu Danchen away, leaving me with a dashing view of her back and a complicated feeling inside my mind…

Unlike how we bickered and joked with each other, today Dong Xiaoye and I both put on a layer of mask, no one could see each other’s real expression…

…

The incident of Long Xiaotian caused quite a big stir in Fengchang, but according to Liusu, Zhang Mingjie didn’t seem to be involved in the incident that day. For these two days, he went to the company as usual as if he had never been to the banquet that day. Today, he even took the initiative to ask Mo Fei when I would return to the company.

Liusu clearly wasn’t happy about it. Although she didn’t say it directly, the smell of jealousy in her words was very obvious. Zhang Mingjie went to ask Mo Fei, but Mo Fei went to ask her. This kind of relationship was indeed quite complicated…

Zhang Mingjie was really insidious. I had just extorted a million from him, so it was very unlikely that he would hope that I could collect money from him as soon as possible. Therefore, his purpose for doing this was very simple. He deliberately made Liusu doubt my relationship with Mo Fei.

‘This punk! Did he still not give up pursuing Liusu?’ I was very angry. So I decided to make it clear to Zhang Mingjie how serious the consequences of going after my woman were.

Seeing Liusu’s jealous look, I suddenly thought of Dong Xiaoye and Shu Tong’s misunderstanding of me, so I made up my mind that I would return to the company tomorrow and hand over the resignation letter that contained multiple meanings to Mo Fei.

I needed to announce loudly that I, Chu Nan, was in love! And I was in love with Cheng Liusu!

I wanted to completely get rid of “womanizer” this title!

. . .

“Knock-knock”

The light door-knocking sound appeared twice on the door. Without turning my head back, I continued to type on the keyboard, busy with my resignation letter, “Come in.”

My stepmother did not come to my flat today. After all, it was inappropriate to leave my old man alone at home. So the only person who could knock on the door of my room at the moment could only be Chu Yuan.

Sure enough, the person who pushed the door in with a plush kitty in her hand was Chu Yuan. The little girl was like a little thief, crept up to my bed and sat down. After staying silent for a while and seeing that I had no reaction, she couldn’t help but clear her throat awkwardly and asked, “Elder Brother, what are you doing? Do you have a minute? I want to ask you something…”

Hearing Chu Yuan’s footsteps sound behind me, I quickly saved the document and closed it. After I turned around, I smiled at my little sister who pretended to have amnesia, and joked, “what? Are you not angry with me anymore? You finally want to talk to me.”

“I… Who is angry with you? I just don’t like you lying to me!” Chu Yuan’s little face immediately flushed. She lifted the plush Kitty and smashed it on my head, but she didn’t use much effort, as if she thought that I was made of porcelain, and she would break me.

After hitting me softly with the plush kitty a few times to vent her anger, her eyes were red, her expression darkened, and she was upset and ashamed. Looking at me guiltily, she said regretfully, “if you told me that you were shot in the leg that day, and Cheng Liusu just wanted to see your wound, I wouldn’t have misunderstood it. I also wouldn’t have followed you deliberately, watching you limping around looking for me. It only made me feel like a bad girl, and I actually did such excessive things…”

This bratty girl. Did she think that this was the only excessive thing she had done to me? Besides, I also wanted to explain it to her. However, on that day, she didn’t give me any chance at all.

I smiled, then deliberately pulled a long face, and said unhappily, “do you know what you did that day was wrong now? Then why did you give me an attitude in the past few days?”

Although my stepmother had been coaxing her in the past two days, Chu Yuan seemed to be giving up her image as a good girl. She actually stubbornly ignored me in the past few days. This was something that I had already been accustomed to, but my stepmother was very worried, because Chu Yuan had seldom or even never shown that she disliked me in front of them.

Chu Yuan slightly lowered her face and snorted in an embarrassed manner, “what else should I do if I don’t give you an attitude? Confess my mistakes to you in front of mom? How, how embarrassing is that…”

I was speechless…

It turned out that this bratty girl felt embarrassed to admit her mistake in front of my stepmother. No wonder she took the initiative to talk to me when my stepmother was not here.

“Yes, I was wrong, but you were not right either,” Chu Yuan changed her tone, and said in a dissatisfied manner, “You lied to me about spraining your foot. Compared to Cheng Liusu, it seems that I am an outsider. We live together, but I am the last one to know that you were injured by a gun. You didn’t treat me as your little sister at all. So shouldn’t I be angry at you?”

It was better to get the unpleasant things out of the chest before they developed into even more serious problems. So when Chu Yuan said these words, I was really relieved. As long as she gave me a chance to explain, I would definitely be able to explain it clearly.

“It is exactly because I treat you as my little sister, so I wanted to keep it from you,” I coaxed her, “Yuan Yuan, you don’t understand the psychology of men. The more you care about someone, the less you are willing to see them worried about you. Did you see how worried mom and dad were? That was why I didn’t want you to know.”

Chu Yuan’s face lit up immediately when she heard what I said, and she asked excitedly, “so, you are saying that you don’t care about Cheng Liusu?”

Er… This bratty was really easy to digress?

“Huh? No,” Chu Yuan’s pretty brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself, “maybe you told her on purpose. You wanted to see her worried. Then you could pretend to be pitiful so it would be easier for you to take advantage of her…”

‘This bratty girl. What kind of person does she think I am? Does she think that I am the scumbag in her novel?’

“I didn’t tell Liusu, she knew it, because she read the newspaper…”

Chu Yuan immediately pulled a cold face, “so, that means you care about her?”

“I care about all the people around me… but the one I care about the most is my lovely little sister.” I hurriedly said in an obsequious tone. I scratched Chu Yuan’s little nose and tried to change the topic, “you just said that you have something to ask me, what is it?”

Chu Yuan was obviously not satisfied with my perfunctory flattery. She covered her nose with a red face and wanted to carry on questioning me. But when she heard my question, her expression suddenly changed.

“Elder Brother, has Sister Booby contacted you recently?”

“Yike?” The corner of my mouth twitched, “No, she hasn’t. What’s the matter?”

Chu Yuan frowned and said, “I don’t know what happened. I couldn’t get through to her over the phone, nor was I able to contact her on the internet. It seems like she is deliberately avoiding me…”

I felt very guilty. She was not hiding from Chu Yuan. Obviously, she was trying to hide from me. But according to what Liu Xingyu said, it seemed like she went to her class in the university as normal, so she should be fine, right? “Probably… She is busy with her study…” I pretended that I didn’t know anything and said.

“What about Dongfang?” Chu Yuan didn’t seem to notice that I wasn’t confident about my reply. She asked again, “Did Dongfang call you in the past two days?”

Why did Chu Yuan always like to mention that bratty girl to me? I frowned instinctively and said, “why would she call me?”

“Then have you called her?”

This was even more ridiculous. “Why would I want to call her? Asking for trouble? Yuan Yuan, if you have nothing else to ask, go play with your computer.”

“This is serious! Dongfang is missing!” Chu Yuan shoved her Kitty cat into my arms and pouted sadly, “the last time I saw her was the night you had an accident. She hasn’t come to school for three days!”

“Huh?” I was startled, “She hasn’t gone to school for three days?”
