After Being Bent by Reader

Chapter 30: Pt.2

"Sis, look! Doesn't that car look like your boss's daughter's?

Xu Xiangxiang always liked to play pranks, so Xu Chuanchuan initially didn't think much of her little sister's words. However, when she heard the words "boss's daughter," she instinctively snapped her head toward the direction Xu Xiangxiang was looking at.

What entered Xu Chuanchuan's eyes was a black Maserati Quattroporte parked under a tree. Drops of rainwater covered the front of the car, and the sunlight reflecting off the car was a little blinding. When Xu Chuanchuan lowered her gaze to avoid the glare, she inadvertently spotted the familiar number plate, and her pupils immediately shrank.

That doesn't just look like her car! That is her car!

In that case, does this mean she's inside the bank?

Xu Chuanchuan sneakily turned her gaze back to the glass door. Coincidentally, someone had just opened the door from the inside, and two pairs of eyes inadvertently met with each other.

Xu Chuanchuan put away the surprise on her face and greeted, "Miss Murong"

However, as soon as Xu Chuanchuan finished speaking, Xu Xiangxiang immediately overshadowed her voice with an exclamation, "Wow! What a beauty!"

Pinching Xu Xiangxiang's arm, Xu Chuanchuan said in a suppressed voice, "Be more reserved for god's sake! She's my boss's daughter!"

"I know. She's Miss Murong, right? Don't you think she's beautiful?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Struggling free from her elder sister's hold, Xu Xiangxiang approached Murong Shi and said, "What a coincidence meeting you here."

Murong Shi shifted her gaze away from Xu Chuanchuan's face and looked at Xu Xiangxiang. "Yes, what a coincidence."

"Oh, right, has my sister properly thanked you yet?"

"Thank me for what?"

"You gave me a ride last time, so I naturally have to thank you for that properly. If it weren't so late that night, I would've treated you to a meal."

Sending a glance to Xu Chuanchuan, who was wearing an embarrassed expression, Murong Shi smirked and said, "Your sister already treated me to her beloved malatang."

Xu Xiangxiang's eyes widened at Murong Shi's words. "She treated you to malatang?! Heavens, I'm so sorry! My sister has always been a stingy person."

Xu Chuanchuan couldn't bear to listen to her little sister prattling on for any longer. After stomping the ground in anger, she strode over and said, "Xu Xiangxiang! Don't go overboard! How am I stingy?!"

"It's not your sister's fault. It was me who wanted to eat it," Murong Shi said, intrigued by the conversation. Noticing the several bags Xu Xiangxiang was holding, Murong Shi asked, "Have you two been shopping?"

Xu Xiangxiang's eyes curved up in delight at Murong Shi's question. She then said, "We just finished and were about to get some milk tea. Do you like milk tea? Why don't I treat you to a cup?"

Xu Chuanchuan's lips twitched when she heard Xu Xiangxiang's words. "You don't seem to be any more generous than I am."

In a righteous tone, Xu Xiangxiang responded, "Our situations are different. I haven't started working yet, so I can only afford milk tea."

Xu Chuanchuan had no words to counter. So, she carefully turned to look at Murong Shi's reaction. In her opinion, there was no way Murong Shi would agree to Xu Xiangxiang's offer.

However, contrary to Xu Chuanchuan's expectations, Murong Shi smiled and said, "Sure."

"The store's just in front! Let's walk there!" Xu Xiangxiang said excitedly.

"Mhm."

With Xu Xiangxiang holding onto her left arm tightly, Xu Chuanchuan suddenly found that she had lost ownership of her legs as they mechanically moved forward against her wishes. And with Murong Shi standing to her right and shading her from the sun, she felt even more embarrassed by this situation.

The inside of the milk tea store was properly air-conditioned, so Xu Chuanchuan's tense emotions were able to get some relief.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiangxiang grabbed a menu and handed it to Murong Shi. "You order first."

Murong Shi briefly glanced at the menu before answering, "I want a cup of original milk tea with less sugar and ice."

Xu Xiangxiang was surprised by Murong Shi's order. "You ordered the cheapest one I have more than enough pocket money to spend, so you can order anything you want."

Shaking her head, Murong Shi said, "I won't be drinking it. I'm ordering it for someone else. She's quite old, so she might not be used to drinking such sweet drinks. It's fine so long as it's cooling."

In a subdued voice, Xu Chuanchuan asked, "Are you buying it for Aunt Lian?"

"How did you know?" Murong Shi was briefly stunned.

Awkwardly, Xu Chuanchuan said, "We met her in the supermarket just now."

Murong Shi quickly understood the gist of the situation. She then said, "Your turn to order. I'll pay."

Hearing this, Xu Xiangxiang hurriedly refused Murong Shi's offer, saying, "No, no, that won't do. I already said I'd be treating you."

"You can do that after you get a job, little girl," Murong Shi said, utilizing her height advantage to put pressure on Xu Xiangxiang effortlessly.

The two Xu sisters exchanged looks with each other.

"Sis"

"Just listen to her," Xu Chuanchuan said, holding her forehead.

Competing with one's superior to foot the bill was equivalent to competing with one's superior for the limelight. Xu Chuanchuan naturally wouldn't dare do such a thing.

After the two sisters decided on their orders, Murong Shi paid the bill.

When they got their orders and took a seat, Murong Shi quietly observed the two sisters, who looked identical to each other, sitting across the table. Suddenly, she commented, "You two have completely different personalities."

After downing half of her milk tea in one big sip, Xu Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows and pridefully said, "Everyone says that I'm cute and lively while my big sis looks a little dumb."

Xu Chuanchuan lightly stomped on Xu Xiangxiang's foot under the table.

In response to the attack, Xu Xiangxiang discontentedly muttered, "But it's true."

Meanwhile, Murong Shi mused over Xu Xiangxiang's words and said, "I think you're right. You are indeed cuter than your sister."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Xu Xiangxiang had grown up being spoiled, so she was always tactless with her words. While holding onto her cup of milk tea with both hands, she leaned forward, stared at Murong Shi's face, and said, "You're really beautiful. You're much more beautiful than the top beauty of my department."

Pleased with those words, Murong Shi said, "Thank you."

"Is my sister dull at work as well?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..." Why must you involve me in the conversation?

Murong Shi briefly swept her gaze across Xu Chuanchuan's face before saying, "Basically. Though, she's sometimes quite bold as well." Such as badmouthing her superior.

Xu Xiangxiang was skeptical about Murong Shi's words. "My sister? Bold? Impossible! She can't even bring herself to speak whenever the teacher calls on her to answer a question!"

Gritting her teeth, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Xu Xiangxiang, that's enough from you."

Meanwhile, Murong Shi shook the unopened cup of milk tea in her hand as she looked at Xu Chuanchuan meaningfully.

Patting Xu Chuanchuan on the back, Xu Xiangxiang said, "There's a KFC across the street. Sis, let's buy some chicken wings afterward."

Coldly, Xu Chuanchuan replied, "Buy it yourself if you want to eat it."

"Tch, you think I can't afford it?" Xu Xiangxiang said, chewing her straw. Suddenly, a gleam flashed in her eyes as she said, "Miss Murong, let me tell you something funny."

Maintaining her composure, Murong Shi said, "Go on."

Ignoring the warning signals her elder sister was giving her, Xu Xiangxiang delightfully said, "Apart from being stingy, my sister is also a glutton. The last time she went to KFC, she ordered ten chicken wings and finished everything by herself. Afterward, she went to the toilet, leaving half a cup of Coke on her table. When she returned, she found that a fierce woman had mistakenly grabbed her Coke and splashed it onto a scoundrel. She was so heartbroken over the matter that she even had asked the woman for compensation. How embarrassing is that? She even complained about this on her social media, saying that"

"Xu Xiangxiang!" Xu Chuanchuan yelled, her face turning bright red. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

While Xu Chuanchuan was burying her head into the table, she heard Murong Shi casually saying, "I know about this."

Surprised, Xu Xiangxiang said, "Did you see her social media as well?"

Looking at a certain someone's forehead oozing cold sweat, Murong Shi smiled and said, "Because I am the fierce woman you mentioned."

Xu Xiangxiang: "..."

After parting ways with Murong Shi and returning home, Xu Chuanchuan gave Xu Xiangxiang a thorough scolding. "Can you not spout nonsense in the future? She's my superior! Now that you've badmouthed me in front of her, how am I supposed to keep my head up in front of her?"

Aggrievedly, Xu Xiangxiang said, "Aren't you exaggerating things? I think Miss Murong is a nice person."

Infuriated, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Go back to your school now. I don't want to see you anymore."

"I don't want to! My dorm's air conditioning is broken, and nobody does repairs on the weekend. I want to stay at your place for two more days."

Later on, Xu Xiangxiang, for some unknown reason, started putting on makeup and trying on the various accessories she bought. She even had Xu Chuanchuan help appraise her outfit.

With her thoughts interrupted one time after another, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't concentrate on writing at all. Giving her little sister's waist a tight pinch, she threatened, "Keep on tormenting me, then."

Although Xu Xiangxiang grimaced in pain, she still shoved the camera she held into Xu Chuanchuan's hands and said, "Help me take some pictures."

By the time Xu Xiangxiang was satisfied and decided to stop tormenting her elder sister, it was already ten in the evening. While Xu Xiangxiang made her way to the bathroom to remove her makeup, Xu Chuanchuan threw her exhausted body onto the bed.

At this time, the phone in Xu Chuanchuan's hand suddenly vibrated, and she feebly took a look at it.

Passerby Shi: "Why did you send me a red packet?"

I Love Malatang: "I sent it to a random reader, and you just happened to receive it. It's just a small token of appreciation. I hope you don't dislike it."

Passerby Shi: "This app is terrible. I've been trying to top-up for the entire day now, yet I still haven't succeeded."

I Love Malatang: "This is the bad part about jjwxc. Its server is garbage, and it would choke frequently."

After giving the matter some more thought, Xu Chuanchuan added a follow-up message.

I Love Malatang: "You don't need to send me Deep-waters every time. You can also give me point additions and leave comments like everyone else. [Covers face]"

Passerby Shi: "Too troublesome. I can't be bothered to type."

Xu Chuanchuan: What are you doing now, then?

I Love Malatang: "Actually Compared to donations, I'm more concerned about comments. What I'm trying to say is that, apart from having a relationship based on money, we can talk about the book as well. You've given me so many Deep-waters thus far, and I am grateful for that, so I want to hear about your thoughts on my novel. [Shy]"

Passerby Shi: "I'm not familiar with you, so I can't make an objective evaluation."

Xu Chuanchuan: Didn't you diss me in the group calling me dumb and stupid?!

I Love Malatang: "What about the book?"

Passerby Shi: "Do you really want me to say it?"

I Love Malatang: "Mhm!"

Passerby Shi: "I have a lot of opinions. I don't think I can finish even after three days and nights."

I Love Malatang: "*Cough* Is my writing that bad?"

Passerby Shi: "Dou Xiaoye is 160, while her wife is 178. In a situation where Dou Xiaoye doesn't wear any heels, don't you think it'll look very awkward if she hugs her wife's waist?"

I Love Malatang: "It is indeed problematic. I'll change it to wrapping her arms around her wife's neck. Thank you. [Heart]"

Passerby Shi: "Since Xiaoye is acting spoiled in front of her wife, I think that simply hugging her wife's neck wouldn't be sufficiently sweet."

For some reason, whenever Xu Chuanchuan listened to Passerby Shi's words, she always found herself dragged along with the other's pace. Sincerely, she asked, "How do you think I should change it, then?"

Passerby Shi: "Bury her head into her wife's breasts. You've set the wife to have a model's body. While Xiaoye might not be tall enough for a hug, her height is just right for her to bury her head into the wife's breasts. You can also take advantage of this opportunity to create some ambiguity."

Xu Chuanchuan:

I Love Malatang: "Tycoon, you're a pervert."

Passerby Shi: "You flatter me."
