Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

No one really minded the presence of Shu Tong, except me… Only after Shu Tong arrived did I regret my decision.

I had been racking my brain, but I still couldn't figure out how I offended Shu Tong. This woman had greeted everyone in the flat, but she ignored me—the head of this flat—completely.

I comforted myself by telling myself that she was probably busy talking with others. After all, women are all very chatty, and there were so many women here. Yet I didn't expect that she would deliberately sit across from me during dinner, as if she wanted to chat with me. However, throughout the dinner, she just stared at me coldly while not saying anything to me.

I couldn't help but ask her several times why she kept looking at me like that, but she deliberately ignored me. In the end, even Liusu and the others noticed it, and they all looked at me strangely, as if I had done something very outrageous.

I was seriously speechless. I didn't do anything wrong, so I wasn't scared of anything. Moreover, Chu Yuan and Ziyuan had just reconciled. It was a great thing, so I was in a good mood. In the end, I didn't bother to ask Shu Tong again. Since she ignored me, I would just ignore her as well.

Ziyuan and Liusu knew that I had a wound on my back, so they didn't want me to send them back. But I was still worried. After all, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and they both had drunk some red wine.

Ziyuan couldn't change my mind, so she called Min Rou, asking her to send a car to pick her up... After Min Rou's relationship with the Third Lady was exposed, Ziyuan no longer concealed her relationship with Min Rou.

Min Rou didn't come in person, but sent a female secretary to pick Ziyuan up in her Rolls-Royce Phantom. This woman finally stopped pretending to be a nobody and revealed her original demeanor.

Thinking that she had claimed to be just a secretary when she suddenly appeared in front of me, I found it really amusing. Her status was actually enough to be on an equal footing with Mo Yizhi.

Ziyuan said that she would send Liusu and Shu Tong home, so I didn't need to worry. But how could I not be worried?

Pulling Liusu aside, I once again reminded her not to press Ziyuan to disclose everything she knew about the Third Lady, Liusu pouted her lips and reluctantly agreed. From her reluctant expression, I could tell that she would definitely do it if I didn't remind her.

"Wait!" Just as the car was about to start, Shu Tong suddenly shouted, startling me. Then I saw her lower the window glass, revealing an indifferent face, and say to me coldly, "The day you went to the station to send off my parents and grandma, you gave my mother money, didn't you?"

This woman finally took the initiative to talk to me, but the first question she asked made me break out in a cold sweat. I tried to remain calm and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Shu Tong's face became even colder. "How much did you give?"

I bent over, pretending that it was much easier to talk to her this way. But in fact, I took the opportunity to make an eye signal at Liusu in the car.

Liusu was also startled by Shu Tong's question. Panicked, she winked at me repeatedly, trying to tell me that she didn't mention that thing to Shu Tong, and Shu Tong might be tricking me.

Seeing Liusu's reaction, I was slightly relieved. I pretended like it was not a big deal and said, "Not much. I just felt that since your parents were leaving, I should give them something as a farewell gift. After all, your grandma believes that I'm dating you, doesn't she?"

Shu Tong blushed and said angrily, "What I want to know now is, why did you give my parents money, and how much did you give them!"

Since Liusu didn't say anything, it meant that it was probably Shu Tong's parents who told Shu Tong about the money. But it seemed that she didn't know how much I gave to her parents.

"I just explained why. Your dad likes to drink wine, your mom likes to play mahjong, and your grandma isn't in good health, so I hope that they can buy more food that she likes to eat for her. As the younger generation, I should show respect to the elders. I heard that there seems to be such a custom in the countryside, is it not?"

I didn't know if there were such customs in the countryside, but giving 50k Chinese yuan to Shu Tong's parents to just buy food and drinks was indeed not normal. However, Father Shu and Mother Shu were already convinced that I was from a rich family. So the key was to not raise their suspicions while giving them money... After all, I couldn't just tell them or Shu Tong that I had accidentally heard that Grandma Shu was terminally ill in the hospital, right?

"You think it's normal to care so much about my family for no reason, but others may not think so!"

"Mhm?"

Shu Tong blushed again when she saw me looking at her in confusion. She hesitated, but eventually grumbled annoyingly, "Asking you to help me is probably the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. It's all your fault..."

"Hey, Shu Tong, why does it sound like you don't appreciate my help at all?" Not to mention that I didn't like what she just said, even Liusu and Ziyuan also felt that Shu Tong's words were a bit too much. Especially Liusu, she knew how bad the matter of Grandma Shu had tormented me.

"Cousin, how can you say that? Nan Nan has done so much for you, but you..."

"It's exactly because he has done so much for me that I say that... Liusu, there are some things you don't know! I… I don't want you to know either." Shu Tong's expression was even more distressed than mine, making Liusu very puzzled. But Shu Tong didn't explain to her. She turned her head to stare at me and said, "Did you call my mother recently? The extra 300 yuan credits on her mobile phone was also your doing, right?"

"Yea– Ahem, it happened that your mother's mobile phone account was suspended due to an outstanding payment, so I bought 300 yuan credits for her..." Speaking of talking to Mother Shu over the phone, I also felt very helpless. I was just worried about Grandma Shu's condition, but I couldn't ask her directly. So every time when I called her, we would talk about other stuff first before I could finally ask her about Grandma Shu's situation. Because of this, our conversations over the phone usually last very long. This was also the reason why she had an outstanding payment...

"Humph! You called her more than once, right?!" I couldn't tell whether Shu Tong was embarrassed or annoyed , she pinched my shoulder fiercely and said, "Thanks to you, I don't even know how to explain my relationship with you to my parents! It's all your fault! I hate you! Drive! I don't want to see him again! Seeing his face would only make me even more angry."

Uh... It turned out that Shu Tong was angry because of this...

Watching the car driving away, I couldn't help feeling that it was hard to be a good person...

If Shu Tong one day found out that her grandmother had a terminal illness, I believed that she would understand why I was doing this... But I would rather she never find out...

…...

"You want to visit Liu Xiaosheng with Zhang Mingjie?" Mo Fei looked at me with disbelief. Ziyuan, who happened to bring the documents in, couldn't help frowning.

Mo Fei stood up and went around the desk. She covered her forehead with one hand, pressed her other hand on my forehead, and murmured, "Are you okay?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm fine. Why are you so nervous?"

"Xiao Nan, there are some things I wanted to ask you since yesterday. Your attitude towards Zhang Mingjie is different from the past. Do you really believe that he has changed?" Ziyuan just joined Fengchang not long ago. Normally, it would take her a while to find out everything that was happening within Fengchang. But sadly, Fengchang's power struggle was simple and straightforward; it was clear at a glance. As the assistant of Mo Fei, the hot topic of everyone's discussion, she could completely see the tension between the two factions within Fengchang from the conversations of those who were vying to flatter her. Although Ziyuan was working for the Third Lady, that didn't prevent her from siding with the Mo family. I believed that this was also the attitude of the Third Lady.

"Of course not." I shook my head and smiled. "But he is right. Now that the Liu family is having a hard time, I'm afraid Xingyu will be under a lot of pressure as well. No matter how shameless her older brother is, she is innocent. Besides, Lao Guo is not only my friend, but also the best student of my old man. He doesn't want to trouble me, but can I really pretend not to see it? Fei… Ahem, Ms. Mo, did you forget that Guo Xiang also helped us before?"

"I would never forget that..." Mo Fei murmured as her face turned red slightly. Investing in Guo Xiang's company to make money to pay off her mother's gambling debts was an opportunity for our relationship to develop to this day. But even until now, I still couldn't tell if I made the right decision at that time or not.

"I heard from Song Jia that Officer Dong's colleague got drunk yesterday and came to the company to cause trouble to you. You got into a fight, and Zhang Mingjie was implicated. In the end, it even disturbed Vice-chairman Zhang. Is it true?" Mo Fei changed the subject abruptly.

Seeing me nodding, she said lightly, "I heard that you were injured. I wanted to call you, but there seemed to be no shortage of people looking after you, so I didn't call. So, was the injury serious?" Mo Fei said with a mocking tone, her eyes filled with jealousy as she stared sharply at Ziyuan, making Ziyuan look away in panic.

Ziyuan was embarrassed, and I was even more embarrassed. It seemed that after five years of separation, I had become a hopeless philanderer. I smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm fine. My injury was not as bad as Mr. Zhang's..."

"Oh really?" Mo Fei sneered sarcastically, "I saw Zhang Mingjie walking around like a normal person in the morning, and there was only a Band-Aid on his nose. But unlike him, you have several women taking turns to massage your back."

Ziyuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but stutter, "How, how do you know?!"

Mo Fei smiled like a cunning fox. "It's a secret. As long as I want to know, there is nothing I couldn't know, hee hee..."

Seeing that Ziyuan was looking at her with a strange look, Mo Fei, who was smiling triumphantly, hurriedly stopped her out-of-character smile, returned to her usual cool and dignified look, and turned around to pick up her bag that was resting on the table.

Then she said to Ziyuan , "I need to go out with him. If there's anything, you can deal with it for me. Only call me if you don't understand something."

"Wait!" I didn't want Mo Fei to leave such ambiguous words to Ziyuan, so I quickly asked, "Go out with me? Where are we going?"
