Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 338: Chapter 339 Acting VS Acting

Hearing me asking her if she wanted to use the bathroom so bluntly, Min Rou’s face blushed. But she recovered very soon and asked me with a smile, “I didn’t come to the wrong section. I’m here looking for you.”

“Looking for me?” I shook my hands and took a sterile towel to dry my wet hands. After I turned around, I leaned against the sink and said, “Why are you looking for me?”

“I think Mr. Chu has some questions for me.”

My act of pretending to be calm and holding back my urges to ask her questions for a long time was really worth it. This woman finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity. Although it was for other reasons that I accepted her arrangement without questioning her, the reason why I pretended to be confident was to create a false impression; a false impression that I had already guessed who the Third Lady was. I wanted to wait until the moment she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked me directly. At that time, it would be much easier for me to get truthful information from her mouth.

Although I was secretly happy inside, on the surface, my expression didn’t change. I said calmly, “Who is the Third Lady, and why…”

“Can’t tell you,” Min Rou choked me off triumphantly. The two shallow dimples on her cheek did not make me think she was cute, but evoked my desire to pinch her face fiercely, “I’m sorry, Mr. Chu, the Third Lady has specially told me not to reveal any of her information to you.”

Say what…

“Even if I already know who she is?”

“Mr. Chu, you don’t need to test me,” Min Rou looked innocently comely, but she was indeed very cautious. “Whether you guessed it right or wrong, you will not be able to get confirmation from me. Since the Third Lady has assigned this task to me, it means that I have the ability to do it well.”

There was a gleam in this woman’s eyes; it was admiration for someone and contempt for someone else… Even without thinking, I knew that I was that someone else. Fortunately, I knew that she would not respect me from the beginning, so I wasn’t angry.

“Why does she want to help me?” I asked, “This has nothing to do with her identity, so you can answer me this question, right?”

“I can answer, but my answer will definitely disappoint you, because I also don’t know.” I had been working since college, and I had already graduated for two years, so I had enough experience to judge that Min Rou’s bewilderment wasn’t a pretense, “The Third Lady only said that she has a reason to help you, but she didn’t tell me what the reason is. In fact, Mr. Chu, I also find it incredible. Why would a powerful figure like the Third Lady treat you so differently?…”

If the Third Lady was really her, then it would not be difficult for me to understand why she would treat me so differently…

Because I knew she liked to tease me, and now she was deliberately teasing me.

“Last question, are you really a secretary?”

Min Rou smiled slightly, pretending to be mischievous, “What do you think?”

I walked closer to her, stared at her tender face brazenly until the playfulness slowly disappeared on her face. It was not until she felt a little uncomfortable that I took a deep breath and smiled, “With the secretary’s monthly salary, I don’t think you can afford to buy such high-end cosmetics or use such expensive perfumes.”

I didn’t know what makeup she used or what perfume she had sprayed on, but I finally confirmed one thing that I wanted to know. And that was, she was not a secretary.

At the door of the private room, I was stopped by Liusu and Shu Tong again.

“Nan Nan, what is going on?” Liusu squeezed through the door and glanced at Min Rou, who warmly entertained the Shu family, and frowned, “Is she your friend or Mo Fei’s friend?”

Her words stunned me, “What?”

“Don’t play dumb with me!” Liusu felt annoyed, “Isn’t she an actor you found?”

“I found?”

“Still pretending?” Shu Tong grabbed my hand, stared at the Omega on my wrist, and sighed, “She was late because of the traffic jam on the road, and you forgot to wear a watch because you left the company in a hurry, she made it sound so real… She even had all the small details covered. You know how nervous we were back there, but you actually hid the plan from us. Was it fun to see our nervous faces? Were you trying to tease us, or surprise us?”

I finally realized that those two women had completely misunderstood it.

“What are you talking about…”

“You still didn’t want to admit it?” Shu Tong poked my chest with her elbow and said with a giggle, “No wonder you didn’t call my cousin in the last few days, so you are secretly preparing for these things, but. .. In order to deceive my grandma, you actually spent so much effort.”

Shu Tong frowned, “I can’t afford the bill here, so what I owe you, I will pay you back gradually…”

Shu Tong thought that I was trying to please Liusu, and that was why I had deliberately found someone to put on a good showu. But from her distressed expression, it seemed like although she didn’t like this approach, she couldn’t bear to refuse my kindness.

“Nan Nan, this is too much. If you think I would be happy because you did this, then you are very wrong. You are causing trouble to my cousin!” Even Liusu also thought that I was trying to use this to coax her.

I asked cautiously, “If I say, this is not my arrangement, would you believe it?”

The two women looked at each other and said to me in unison, “No!”

As I expected…

“I’ll explain to you later. The task now is to make the old people happy.” If I told them that this was all arranged by the Third Lady, probably they would no longer be interested in eating.

“Also, Shu Tong, don’t underestimate men. At least I am not the kind of man who would squander a woman’s money to please another woman. I will pay for this meal. You don’t need to worry about it. If you still think that we are friends, then don’t mention anything about the money again. After all, I grew up in Bei Tian City, and it is natural for locals to welcome guests from afar.”

Shu Tong was dazed, “But it’s expensive here…”

I said proudly, “No matter how expensive it is, it is just a meal. Can’t I even afford a meal?”

Min Rou had also noticed us discussing outside the door. But she only smiled sweetly at me. I didn’t know how many secrets were hidden in her smile, but I knew one thing well. That was, I shouldn’t avoid it.

This Third Lady, it must be her…

“Nan Nan, you…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…” I know that Liusu must have seen something on my face, but she didn’t point it out. She knew me very well. Even if the mask I put on my face deceived myself, it wouldn’t deceive her.

The old woman had been sitting on the train for a long time, resulting in poor appetite. She didn’t eat much, but she said a lot of things; on the other hand, Shu Tong’s parents were feeling very nervous during the whole meal. Compared with the unfamiliar seafood on the table, it seemed that I was even stranger to them than this meal. They didn’t have the mood to enjoy the meal at all. Shu Tong’s mother even called Shu Tong and Liusu out in the name of going to the bathroom. Obviously, she wanted to confirm my real identity from them.

The old woman asked me a lot of questions. I followed the plan agreed by Shu Tong in advance and answered all the questions smoothly. I told her that I had a small company, mainly in the sales industry, and occasionally investing in real estate…

Shu Tong was worried that I would forget what I needed to say, so the background of this fake company I had was completely copied from Fengchang.

It was very awkward to brag to other people in front of Min Rou, a mysterious outsider; but what was even more awkward was that she would say a few words from time to time to help me patch up my lie and make it more believable.

For example, my company had invested heavily in expanding the technical department, and in the next few years, it would transform and develop towards the electronics industry… It could also be seen that she not only knew me well, but she also knew about Fengchang Group well. The things she said, I only got to know them recently. Mo Yizhi had been very low-key and secretive about the company’s transformation work. Except for the company’s top management, the employees at the lower level had never even heard of it.

From this, I was even more sure that the Third Lady was her, and Min Rou was sent to me by her…

I originally thought that the reason why she asked Min Rou to take us to Great Waves for a meal was to make fun of me. She wanted to make me embarrassed because of my lack of cash. But when I wanted to go out to pay the bill, the hotel manager came in with a plate of fruit and told me that someone had already paid for our meal, but it was not Min Rou, but my friend, the boss of Great Waves…

The boss of Great Waves was my friend? Seeing Min Rou thanking the generous and enthusiastic boss on my behalf, Liusu and Shu Tong finally realized that it was not arranged by me. It was completely beyond my control. Because of this, Shu Tong’s parents and grandmother firmly believed that I was a super-rich young master now…

But the funny thing was, I didn’t even know if the boss of Great Waves was a man or a woman, and what his or her name was. The seemingly innocent Min Rou’s mouth seemed to be sewn with thread. I couldn’t get any information from her.

The best hotel in Bei Tian City was the Shangri-La Hotel. Even during the price fluctuation period, the listed price of a presidential suite was as high as 6,600 a night. My monthly salary was only enough to live in such a room for one night, let alone the family of Shu, whose annual income was only about 10,000 yuan.

I believed that no one would have the courage to walk into such a place with a rustic backpack and wearing cheap knockoff clothes, because it would definitely attract the scornful gaze of many people.

However, it was exactly this kind of gaze that dispelled my thoughts of changing to other hotels. Because I didn’t think they were qualified to look at us that way. Maybe Shu Tong’s parents would feel inferior, but I chose to avoid those gazes, it would make them feel even more inferior.

Not to mention that there was no sign at the entrance saying that only rich people were allowed to stay here, right?
