Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 317: Chapter 318 Digress From the Topic

Translator: Doggotranslation

“Why don’t you just join them?...” Dong Xiaoye’s smile was very beautiful, but it was also very cold, “as long as you nodded, not only can you reconnect with your childhood sweetheart, but you will also get a lot of money. Moreover, there are beautiful women like Zhang Lingfang. How wonderful is that? Don’t you men all like the noble and coquettish type of women?”

My face blushed, and I said with guilt, “what are you talking about? How does elegance become coquettish in your mind?”

“Bah!” Dong Xiaoye also blushed, glaring at me sideways, and scolded in a low voice, “rubbing your thigh under the table barefoot, can such a woman be called elegant?”

“How did you know? !” I instinctively blurted it out. Only then did I realize that I had admitted it too quickly. I felt so embarrassed that I wished there was a hole on the floor that I could hide into.

“Why didn’t I know?” Dong Xiaoye’s face was red, and she glanced down at her little feet that were wearing the large flip-flops. I couldn’t tell whether she was shy or contemptuous. She then glared at me vigilantly, as if I dared to look at her feet, she would punch me, and said in a bad mood, “the tablecloth was always shaking and you always found some excuses to stand up from time to time. Who couldn’t tell that there was something going on under the table? That Zhang Lingfang is a married woman. You two are actually doing that kind of thing under the table... Hmph, if it wasn’t for Yuan Yuan, I would have already lifted up the tablecloth and let everyone see what you two were doing under the table. I really wanted to see what kind of expression Li Xinghui would have when he found out that his wife was flirting with another man under his nose. Hmph!”

I was absolutely certain that it was Li Xinghui who asked Zhang Lingfang to seduce me...

Seeing that I didn’t speak, Dong Xiaoye was even angrier. She even tried to scare me by saying, “Maybe, Yuan Yuan is angry at you because she’s noticed your dirty little actions under the table too. Probably that’s why she doesn’t want to talk to anyone this whole evening. How do you want a little girl to talk about that kind of thing?”

No way... I had just taken a shower, but sweat was oozing out of my forehead again.

Dong Xiaoye stared at me contemptuously, and said with disdain, “huh! Pervert! I finally know what kind of person you are. You are really a womanizer. As long as the other person is a beautiful woman, you will not refuse it and happily accept it, right?”

“How did I not refuse it?” I shook my head and smiled bitterly. “Sister Xiaoye, if I was really a pervert, I would’ve already promised him to cooperate with him directly to get all the women and money he offered to me. Why would I put Guo Xiang in a difficult position? And accept it happily? Do I look like I am happy now?” I was telling the truth, but whenever I thought of Dong Xiaoye knowing that Zhang Lingfang was flirting with me under the table, I still felt very embarrassed.

Dong Xiaoye seemed to believe what I said. Although she still looked disdainful, I could see that her expression softened a little, “then why didn’t you agree? You don’t like Zhang Lingfang because she is older than you?”

“Nonsense!” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I really didn’t know what Dong Xiaoye was thinking. Such a ridiculous question, she actually asked with a serious tone, “I’ve told you already. I don’t know who the Third Lady is, so I don’t know why she is doing this for me. But I am sure that she would not do this for no reason.”

Dong Xiaoye was dazed by my reply, and then asked carefully, “so... you are also interested in women who are older than you?”

What was the matter with her disdainful look? I felt that Dong Xiaoye had a prejudice against me. But if I denied it, I felt like there would be more people who would have a prejudice against me. People often said that the age gap was not a problem when it comes to love. Although I had never experienced it, I also agreed with it.

“What are you talking about? Being interested in a woman who is older than me is not the same thing as being interested in a coquettish woman like Zhang Lingfang,” I frowned, “It’s a serious topic, why do you always digress? Are you interested in my private life?”

“Bah! Who is interested in you?” Dong Xiaoye’s face flushed, although she was still angry, she was obviously feeling guilty. Her eyes were a little evasive, and she quickly returned to the main topic, “did you refuse to agree to it because you were afraid?”

“If it were you, would you not be afraid?” I didn’t feel ashamed, and frankly admitted that I was afraid, “if the Third Lady really has any bad intentions towards me, what should I do?”

“Don’t be so full of yourself. That Third Lady is a woman who treats an investment that is worth billions like playing a game, and you are just a poor young man who looks like a malnourished cucumber. What kind of bad intention would she possibly have towards you? What could she possibly do it for?” Dong Xiaoye pouted her lips and said, “no matter how I look at it, she still sounds like your old flame...”

‘I look like a malnourished cucumber? Damn, this woman.’ Although I was on the skinny side, and my skin was a little bit pale, saying that I was a malnourished cucumber? I felt like my self-esteem suffered a critical hit.

“I’m warning you seriously, Comrade Dong Xiaoye, you can belittle Chu Nan who is sitting in front of you, but you must not insult the innocent and pure me in the past. What do you mean old flame? She and I are just friends,” I sighed and jokingly said, “why do I always feel like you are jealous? Could it be... you are also interested in me, this malnourished cucumber?”

“Are you looking for a fight? !”

“I’m kidding, kidding!” Seeing Dong Xiaoye clenched her fists in anger, I quickly raised my hand to surrender myself and said seriously, “there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there are no gratuitous benefits in the real world. In the absence of proof that the Third Lady is Xiao Zi, I will not be so foolish to agree to anything. Who knows what the other party is really planning?”

Dong Xiaoye’s fist landed on my head feebly, and she was taken aback when she heard the words, “Xiao Zi?”

“It’s my friend who went abroad,” I said.

“Oh?” Dong Xiaoye retracted her hand and said, “it sounds like you two were very close.”

“What?”

“Nothing,” Dong Xiaoye suddenly pushed me off the chair, sat down on the chair herself, and said coldly, “You are not really going to stay in Fengchang temporarily to avoid Li Xinghui and Guo Xiang, right? Just with the ambiguous relationship between you and Mo Fei alone... Leaving aside the problem of how you are going to explain to Liusu, are you not afraid that Mo Yizhi will push you to meet the Third Lady?”

“No. I won’t stay in Fengchang, so I won’t help them to get this cooperation project. Tomorrow, I will go back to Fengchang to give them the resignation letter, but I will also ask Mo Yizhi to do me a favor. I want him to tell other people that I am still working for Fengchang.” I waved my hand to interrupted Dong Xiaoye, who wanted to ask me questions, and carried on, “don’t worry, Mo Yizhi is not a fool. He would not force me to meet with the Third Lady. On contrary, he would happily accept my resignation letter and help me to cover up my lies. After all, he definitely would not like to see me join Fengchang’s competitor.”

After saying this, a thought suddenly came into my mind. Maybe the reason Mo Yizhi tried his best to keep me was also because of this. After all, he was also an old fox...

Dong Xiaoye frowned and thought for a moment. After figuring out what I said, she sighed, “lies and tricks, are they not tired of them? No wonder people often warn us to not trust any businessman.”

“I am not a businessman, I just work for a businessman, but I don’t quite agree with your view,” I patted the dining table and chuckled, “in my opinion, ideals and dreams are always not realistic. It doesn’t matter whether people eat to live or live to eat. The important thing is that we all have to eat. In order to get something to eat, we must learn skills to find a job. You think that it is very tiring to be a businessman because they have to think about how to trick other people all day long, but I think it is even more tiring to be a police officer. There is no point to compare which job is more inferior or noble than the other. After all, we all need to eat...”

Dong Xiaoye said angrily, “I didn’t become a police officer for that reason!”

“I know you like to be a police officer, and you have your own dreams, but if becoming a police officer means that you would not have salary or benefits, would you still go to the police academy? Therefore, the food problem can also influence a person’s so-called dream...”

“Even if I didn’t get anything, I would still go to the police academy and become a police officer!” Dong Xiaoye’s reply surprised me a bit.

Was it because I was too pessimistic? Were there really such unrealistic people in real society?

Seeing that I fell into a daze, Dong Xiaoye’s expression suddenly darkened, and she suddenly said softly, “I didn’t say that businessmen are inferior or police are nobler. Those things vary from person to person. I understand this. Not to mention that I never feel that I am nobler than other people. Just like you said, I like this profession, but if it doesn’t pay me, I will probably only like it and will not join this team. But like is not the only reason for me to be a police officer. I want to... with this profession, it will be easier for me to find my elder sister...”

I had a complex feeling in my heart. I didn’t mind Dong Xiaoye digressing from the topic, but why did she have to mention such a sad topic. But at the same time, I also felt sorry for her. When her elder sister left home fifteen years ago, she was still very young. The desire to meet her elder sister again was not something I could understand.
