Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 314 - I Know the Third Lady?

Chapter 314: Chapter 315 I Know the Third Lady?

She couldn’t stop her heart from beating rapidly? And she couldn’t sleep at night? With those suggestive words and coupled with her over-friendly attitude, it looked like she was flirting with me. She made it sound like she couldn’t hold back her desire whenever she thought about me…

Not to mention Chu Yuan, who was whispering to Xingyu on the side, even Dong Xiaoye also could not help but frown her eyebrows. No matter what, she was still my fake girlfriend at the moment. Zhang Lingfang was flirting with me so bluntly in front of her that it could even be treated as a provocation.

As expected of the famous socialite from the capital. No wonder she and Li Xinghui were just a nominal couple. Perhaps for Li Xinghui, Zhang Lingfang was just a tool for him… The reason why I thought of it this way was not that I was being narcissistic, but because I could feel a small foot in silk stockings stretched out under the table, gently rubbing my shin, and constantly moving upward…

Fortunately, it was covered by the tablecloth, otherwise, if it was discovered by Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye beside me, how was I able to explain it?

“You, you are flattering me,” I was a little overwhelmed by Zhang Lingfang’s inexplicable flirting. After all, I was a virgin who had never experienced such a temptation; but I didn’t want to be underestimated, and I didn’t want to lose my face in front of Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye. I raised my glass, got up, and smiled, “if I was really that manly, I wouldn’t use water as a substitute for wine at this moment. Hehe. I’d also like to make a toast to you and Mr. Li. I wish you two live happily together till old and grey.”

I felt that my face was very hot. From the dissatisfied look of Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye, I could tell that they had misunderstood it. They must have thought that I lacked the most basic resistance to beauties. However, I couldn’t conceal the panic in my face. Zhang Lingfang was indeed an out-and-out beauty. She was mature, sexy, dignified, although she behaved coquettishly. Even if I didn’t appreciate, or dislike such a woman, I still couldn’t remain calm in the face of her flirtation.

I had already stated my position to Zhang Lingfang using my action. If it weren’t for Guo Xiang, I would have stood up and left already.

Zhang Lingfang did not expect that I would suddenly stand up. Her body suddenly lowered. It was obvious that her foot had failed to touch my thigh. She hurriedly stood up. But probably because he had taken off one of her high heels, she staggered when she stood up.

“Mr. Chu, you are really funny. There is no need to be so polite.” She winked her eyes at me and said.

I pretended that I didn’t see it and said lightly, “I’m just saying the fact.”

After that, I drank the warm water in the glass. Zhang Lingfang was dazed for a moment. She then smiled slightly at me, and drank the wine in her glass, “Mr. Chu’s shy look is very cute.”

‘Shy? I am freaking scared, alright! !’ Seeing that Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye both were blushing while glaring at me, how would I dare to expose Zhang Lingfang’s act of taking advantage of me under the table? I could only endure it!

“Mr. Chu, when I saw you in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort for the first time, I knew that you are not an ordinary young man,” Li Xinghui didn’t seem to know that his nominal wife was taking advantage of me under his nose. He raised his wine glass and said, “you and Mr. Guo are both very outstanding in the young generation of Bei Tian City’s business world…”

Guo Xiang pretended that he was overwhelmed by Li Xinghui’s flattery and hurriedly said, “you are flattering me, Mr. Li. I am nowhere near to be called outstanding…”

“You are too humble,” Li Xinghui shook his head and said, “I am not trying to flatter you. I’m just stating the fact. Haha.”

This guy directly used my words to reply to Guo Xiang. Although he was definitely trying to flatter Guo Xiang, his words were very pleasant to the ears. I couldn’t help but sigh that it was true that people shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. From this response, it could be seen that Li Xinghui was definitely not a simple man, and his success definitely didn’t just rely on his luck.

“Mr. Li, what you said about my friend Guo Xiang might be true,” I chuckled, “but it is not appropriate to describe me that way. I’m just a little office clerk.”

“Mr. Chu, why do you have to underestimate yourself?” Li Xinghui laughed and said, “Who in Bei Tian City does not know the name of Chu Nan now? My name, Li Xinghui, is nothing compared to you. In fact, it is my honor to meet with you again.”

I was so disappointed by my own reaction. I actually blushed after listening to other people’s flattery. But Chu Yuan took Li Xinghui’s words seriously. “Is my elder brother really that famous?” She asked curiously.

“Of course,” Zhang Lingfang smiled and said to Chu Yuan, “little girl, you didn’t see how brave your elder brother was in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort that night. Almost all the famous and influential people in Bei Tian City were in that hall. At ordinary times, which one of them isn’t arrogant and overbearing? But when their lives were at stake, all of them became cowards. The only person who dared to resist those gunmen was your elder brother. Who doesn’t admire the heroic and fearless spirit he showed at that time? Not to mention that he fought with those gunmen and took back the remote control of the bomb from the gunmen and saved our lives, even the ruthless gunmen leader also admired your elder brother and treated him with respect. Little girl, you are truly fortunate to have such a great elder brother.”

Girls always had an unrealistic fantasy or longing for heroes. Perhaps this was their romance. Dong Xiaoye tried to show an indifferent look, but she couldn’t conceal a faint approval on her face, and Liu Xingyu’s face was full of admiration. Chu Yuan’s eyes lit up immediately. Her little face flushed with excitement, and she still asked Dong Xiaoye for confirmation, “Sister Xiaoye, is my brother really that awesome?”

“Is he awesome?” Dong Xiaoye showed a faint disdain, but realizing the occasion, she immediately swallowed what she wanted to say, and replied embarrassedly, “Mhm, a little bit… but he had clearly overestimated his ability that night…”

“Actually, even if he overestimated his ability, his effort has paid off, has it not?” Zhang Lingfang said ambiguously, “you are able to sit here today is the best proof, no?”

“I…” Dong Xiaoye felt extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, Guo Xiang and Xingyu had known beforehand that Dong Xiaoye was ordered to pretend to be my girlfriend to protect me. But even so, this was still very embarrassing. What Zhang Lingfang meant was that what I did was to win Dong Xiaoye’s heart, and the fact that she came to attend the dinner invitation tonight was the best proof that I had succeeded.

“Let’s just get straight to the point,” I got Dong Xiaoye out of the embarrassing situation and said, “Mr. Li, the reason why you want to invite me today is not just to express your gratitude, right?”

Li Xinghui was dazed for a moment. He put down his knife and fork and smiled, “what do you mean, Mr. Chu?”

Guo Xiang and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, “Mr. Li, one of the reasons why you want to invite Guo Xiang is to discuss your future corporation with Heng Xiang Group, right? Although Guo Xiang and I are good friends, I don’t work for the Heng Xiang Group. As a Fengchang employee, Mr. Li has no reason to let me hear your trade secrets.”

“Oh?” The doubts in Zhang Lingfang’s eyes looked very pretentious as if she had seen through a person’s lie but did not bother to expose it. “Didn’t Mr. Chu resign from Fengchang?” she pretentiously asked.

Chu Yuan and I showed the same surprised expressions. But one was a faked surprise and the other one was a genuine surprise, “I resigned? Hehe, you are very funny. Who said that I resigned from Fengchang?” This was not a lie. I did submit my resignation letter twice, but for the time being, I still hadn’t left Fengchang.

Li Xinghui and Zhang Lingfang were confused, and they both turned their gazes to Guo Xiang involuntarily. Guo Xiang confirmed, “Xiao Nan is telling the truth. He is doing a great job in Fengchang, why would he want to resign from Fengchang? Mr. Li, where did you hear this rumor?”

Guo Xiang knew that I would resign, but he wanted to know what Li Xinghui had in mind, and why he was interested in me.

“Really?” Li Xinghui frowned and muttered to himself, “but the Third Lady wouldn’t make such a simple mistake…”

“The Third Lady?” I was taken aback, “who is the Third Lady?”

“You don’t know about the Third Lady?” Li Xinghui looked even more surprised than me.

“That third lady knows me?” I didn’t answer his question but asked him a question instead.

Seeing that I didn’t seem to be pretending, Zhang Lingfang said, “Of course she knows you…”

“Ahem—” Li Xinghui suddenly cleared his throat, causing Zhang Lingfang’s expression to change instantly. She stopped abruptly, and her expression became a little flustered.

“The Third Lady knows Xiao Nan?” Guo Xiang should be as surprised as I was, but he concealed it well. “That’s impossible, I have heard a rumor a while ago that the Third Lady wanted to get to know Xiao Nan after she heard some interesting things he had done. But that was just a rumor. I think Mr. Li must have misunderstood it. We don’t know the Third Lady, we have never even met her before.”

“Oh…” The complex expression in Li Xinghui’s eyes disappeared in a flash. “I don’t know if I have misunderstood it, but Mr. Chu, I am sure that you and the Third Lady must have met before. Although it’s not convenient for me to disclose any information about her, I can tell you for sure that not only have you two met before, and the relationship between you two is much deeper than you think.”

Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye were both confused. Even Guo Xiang and Xingyu were also puzzled. I couldn’t help but wonder if I had really met this mysterious third lady before?
