Chapter 385 - Elder Brother and Younger Sister
Chapter 385: Chapter 386 Elder Brother and Younger Sister
“What is it?”
“When I was in the hospital this afternoon, I bumped into-”
“Mr. Chu~!” Min Rou appeared suddenly, not only interrupting me, but also startling Liusu. Damn it. Clearly, Liusu and I were a couple, but why did we act like we were having some kind of affair.
Seeing Min Rou’s ambiguous smile, I didn’t let go of Liusu’s hand. “What is it?”
Min Rou looked away from Liusu’s pretty face and said to me, “Grandma Shu said that she would like to eat something light tonight, so I booked a table at Moon Valley. The environment there is very good, and you can pick vegetables and fruits yourself. But the place is a little bit far away, so we should set off now.”
“Moon Valley? Where?”
“Mhm, an ecological garden,” Min Rou thought for a second and said, “It’s a place similar to a farmhouse restaurant.”
‘Light food, vegetables, fruits… Mhm, it is very healthy. More importantly, a farmhouse restaurant is definitely cheaper than in Shangri-La or Great Waves seafood restaurant, right?’
Just when I was about to nod my head, my phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I was startled. It was Sister Tiger…
“Hel-”
“Elder Brother, where are you?”
I looked at the caller ID again to confirm that it was indeed Dong Xiaoye’s number. But why was Chu Yuan using her phone?
“At the hotel, we are just about to go to a restaurant to eat something…”
Chu Yuan smiled and said, “That’s great, we want to go to. Please wait for us, we will be there soon.”
“Huh?” I couldn’t help being curious, “Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to come when I asked you elder?”
“I don’t want to deceive old people, but now I have no choice. Elder Sister Xiaoye was scolded by her boss, so she wants to follow you. Hehe, since she is going to, I don’t mind following you to eat good food.” Chu Yuan said with an obvious gloating tone. Chu Yuan was like my little tail. I knew that she originally wanted to follow me, but she was embarrassed to leave the two guests Dongfang and Dong Xiaoye at home.
“She was scolded by her boss?” Seeing me smiling, Liusu moved her ears closer to the phone, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation.
“Mhm, after knowing that she was sleeping at our flat all day, Captain Lin was very angry, saying that her mission is not only to impersonate your girlfriend but also to protect your safety. The impact of the Xu Heng case has not yet subsided, the police are still in a state of high alert. Although no one should dare to do anything to you, for the time being, the possibility that someone would harm you still exists, so Elder Sister Xiaoye is not allowed to lower her guard. She must always prepare for an attack. Even outside normal working hours, she must also try to protect you as much as possible… Hehe, she was harshly reprimanded by her captain…”
“You bratty girl, no one asked you to say this! I just want you to ask him where he is. Why are you telling him so many things?” Feeling embarrassed, Sister Tiger snatched the phone from Chu Yuan and said, “Hey! Where are you now? Give me the address, I need to follow you!”
Just listening to her voice, I could imagine her unnatural expression at this time. After all, we just had an argument this morning, so no wonder she would ask Chu Yuan to call me…
I was a little grateful to Lin Zhi, he gave me a good opportunity to improve my relationship with Sister Tiger.
After hanging up the phone, Min Rou asked, “Who is going to join us?”
I was dazed. I didn’t know why Min Rou showed such a nervous look, but I still answered, “My younger sister, and… my younger cousin.” I didn’t know how to introduce Dong Xiaoye, so I simply gave her the identity of ‘cousin’.
Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were alcoholic friends who were tarred with the same brush… No, I mean they were best sisters. Hearing that I called Dong Xiaoye my younger cousin, she rolled her eyes. But I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was her who came up with this identity when she lied to Ziyuan.
Min Rou took out her phone and asked, “Just two of them? Is there anyone else?”
“Who else?” I couldn’t help but feel strange, “Min Rou, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Min Rou sighed in relief, tucked her phone back into her pocket, and smiled, “I’m just afraid that the booth I booked will be too small. If there are too many people coming over, it will be too crowded. It will make us look very stingy.”
I only wish she could be stingy… Anyway, her reaction startled me a little. I almost thought that she knew that there were more than two people in my flat. Dongfang had never left my flat since she hid in my flat. Although Ziyuan knew about Dongfang’s existence yesterday, there was no need to tell Min Rou about it. If Min Rou needed to find out everyone living in my flat, it could only prove that the Third Lady was a pervert, and she was seriously infringing on my privacy…
I extremely disliked people who obviously targeted me but always went after the people around me. After all, it is easy to dodge an open spear thrust, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark.
When we went downstairs, Liusu, Shu Tong, and I were walking in the back. Liusu asked, “Nan Nan, what did you want to tell me earlier before you were interrupted by Min Rou.”
I glanced at Shu Tong next to her and smiled, “It’s nothing, it’s not an important matter, I will tell you after the meal.”
“Tsk.” Shu Tong clicked her tongue, “If you don’t want me, this third wheel, to hear it, you can tell me directly. It must be some mushy sweet-nothing, you think I want to hear it?”
I secretly sighed. Of course, I didn’t think Shu Tong would want to hear it, and I also didn’t think that she would be able to withstand it.
….
“Why are you kicking me again?”
“Who asked you to call me your younger cousin?” Dong Xiaoye had no choice but to call me cousin in front of other people, but after she called me, she secretly kicked me, which annoyed me a lot.
“What else do you want me to tell her? Min Rou knows Xiao Zi, and it was you who told her that you are my younger cousin.” I said helplessly. Dong Xiaoye was clearly more than two years older than me, but Shu Tong’s family didn’t suspect our relationship at all. They were just slightly surprised that she was a police officer.
Dong Xiaoye didn’t know Min Rou’s identity, but Min Rou definitely knew Dong Xiaoye’s identity. However, apart from smiling ambiguously at me, this woman didn’t expose Dong Xiaoye.
When Chu Yuan heard that Min Rou knew Ziyuan, she immediately became nervous, “Elder Brother, is… Elder Sister Ziyuan here too?”
I was dazed for a moment and then patted her on her shoulder lightly, trying to comfort her, “No.”
Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and then she held my hand on her shoulder in fear. Min Rou just happened to see this scene when she turned her head. She couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Mr. Chu, you get along very well with your little sister.”
Mother Shu was worried about my relationship with Liusu, but like most people, she couldn’t resist Chu Yuan’s charm. “Yes, in our village, when siblings grow up, they will no longer be as close as they used to be. Some even fight each other like they are enemies. It is really rare to see siblings still getting along with each other after growing up.”
Liusu, who was walking with Dong Xiaoye, couldn’t help but secretly chuckle. Except for me, only she knew that Chu Yuan was acting in front of other people. Although she was indeed very clingy to me, our relationship was definitely not as harmonious as everyone thought. Not to mention that Chu Yuan bullied me very often.
“Yes, yes,” Min Rou said with some emotion, “I also have an elder brother who treated me very well when I was young, but he no longer cared that much about me when I was in high school. I don’t know if it was because he had a girlfriend. Sigh, we don’t even talk to each other often nowadays.”
Mother Shu said with a smile, “That’s pretty normal in our village. Once people get married, they will talk to their siblings less often.”
Dong Xiaoye’s eyes dimmed, probably thinking of her elder sister who ran away from home. Liusu knew what she was thinking, she couldn’t help holding her hand. Feeling that Chu Yuan was also holding my hand tightly, I turned my head and looked at her in confusion. Chu Yuan was looking at me with a pale face. When our eyes met, she hurriedly lowered her head.
“What’s wrong?”
“I… nothing…” Chu Yuan stopped talking, holding my hand even tighter. I could feel that her palm was a little wet and cold…
I couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “Don’t worry, I won’t ignore you in the future.” After all, with Chu Yuan’s character, even if I wanted to let go, I had to make sure that she could live independently first…
“Who is worried about this? Who cares if you will ignore me in the future or not!” Chu Yuan’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment. Although she denied it, a smile finally returned to her face.
Sure enough, she was really worried about this…
I originally thought that the ecological garden was just planting radishes and vegetables, focusing on developing green food. As soon as the car drove in, I realized that my understanding was wrong, because I felt like I was entering Jurassic Park.
There were so many trees in this park that it was like a forest. Not only were the trees tall, but there were also wild animals running through the forest. The most ridiculous thing was that a sign was hung on the electric fence on the roadside, saying: “Watch out for wild boars!”
Were there wild boars in Bei Tian City? Or was there a part-time wild boar farm here?
But Min Rou’s answer made me regret coming to this place. She said that those wild boars were for the guests to hunt and kill…
