Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Chapter 306Dong Xiaoye and Shu Tong’s Confrontation

Yao Wan’er took deep breaths two times. She took the cup, stood up timidly, and said, “Officer Dong, I’d like to propose a toast to you…”

Dong Xiaoye was dazed for a moment. She looked down at the police uniform she was wearing and smiled, “there is no need to call me Officer. Wan’er, since we are all friends, and I am two years older than you, if you don’t mind it, you can just call me Elder Sister Xiaoye, or sister Xiaoye in short. This is how Liusu calls me.”

Shu Tong also nodded and said, “Yes, don’t call me Ms. Shu as well. I am Liusu’s elder cousin, so you can also call me Elder Sister Shu, Sister Shu, or Cousin Shu. I’d also like to propose a toast to you. Liusu is a very careless girl, so she will definitely make silly mistakes very often in the company, if it’s not much trouble, please look after her if you can.”

I didn’t expect that the natural airhead Shu Tong would have the demeanor of a reliable elder sister in front of other people. She didn’t have that silly and clumsy look she had when I first met her.

“No no,” Yao Wan’er said in a panic, “it is Liusu who usually takes care of me in the company, so I should propose a toast to Liusu.”

Seeing Yao Wan’er raise her glass to her, Liusu hurriedly stood up. Yao Wan’er was supposed to drink a toast to Dong Xiaoye, but in the end, all four women stood up. This showed that Yao Wan’er was not good at dealing with this kind of occasion.

Because no one mentioned me, I was sitting in my chair, looking at the four women standing up very awkwardly. Those women had also noticed my awkward situation. Shu Tong rolled her eyes at me and said to Yao Wan’er and Dong Xiaoye, “there is no need to act cautiously to save Chu Nan’s face. He is not paying the bill. It is my treat.”

I didn’t know what I had done that offended her. I always felt like she was trying to give me a difficult time. Whenever she saw me, she would show an annoyed look. Since she didn’t want me to pay for the bill, why did she take the initiative to invite me to this dinner?

“Of course it should be your treat,” Dong Xiaoye said with a smile, “last time you dragged Ms. Mo and me out of Little Chu’s flat, you said that you wanted to treat us to a meal, right? But in the end, you actually broke your promises.”

“How can you count that as I broke my promise?” Shu Tong responded without changing her face. “It was Mo Fei who said that she couldn’t go because she had something else to do, so I said that I would treat you two to a meal some other time. Since Officer Dong minds it so much, then please accept this glass of wine I poured as an apology.”

When Shu Tong mentioned Mo Fei’s name, Yao Wan’er and I looked at each other involuntarily, and then we both quickly looked away in a panic. Although it was just a glimpse, I clearly saw the look in her eyes. Sure enough, she was still thinking about that kiss. She was still curious about my relationship with Mo Fei.

Originally, Shu Tong thought that Dong Xiaoye was making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, so she also pretended to say a few ceremonial words. But she didn’t expect that when she raised her glass, Dong Xiaoye really took it over and then finished it in one gulp. “Ms. Shu is too serious. It is just one meal, why would I keep it in mind? If you have time, I will invite you to Great Waves Seafood City. The seafood there tastes very good. It’s much better than the hot pot here.”

This damn woman. She actually said that she didn’t mind it after she had already finished the glass of wine Shu Tong poured. It was so pretentious. Moreover, after she sat down, she even used her chopsticks to stir the meat in the hot pot and gave such a mocking remark to provoke Shu Tong. Not just Liusu and me, even Yao Wan’er could also tell that there was something wrong between Dong Xiaoye and Shu Tong.

Dong Xiaoye was acting very strange. Although she had a hot temperament, she was definitely not the kind of person who would embarrass her friend in front of so many people.

“Oh? Great Waves? That is the most famous seafood city in Bei Tian City. A meal there would cost tens of thousands of yuan, right?” I didn’t know if Shu Tong was really dumb or she was just pretending to be dumb, she asked like she didn’t know Dong Xiaoye was mocking her, “I didn’t expect Little Dong Dong to be such a rich girl. Do police nowadays have a very high salary…”

Dong Xiaoye poured another glass of wine, got up, and clinked her glass against Yao Wan’er’s. Yao Wan’er who was standing in a daze hurriedly took a sip, but Dong Xiaoye once again finished the glass of wine in one gulp. She waved her hand to signal Yao Wan’er to sit down, shook her head, and smiled at Shu Tong, “I live from paycheck to paycheck. Even if with the bonus from the overtime, my monthly salary is still less than three thousand…”

“Then why do you want to invite us to eat seafood in Great Waves? I may be skinny, but I can eat a lot of food…” Shu Tong was pretending! She was definitely pretending to be dumb! Her words had already revealed a trace that she would definitely make Dong Xiaoye invite her to the Great Waves. She clearly wanted to see Dong Xiaoye make a fool of herself.

There must be a problem between these two women! Otherwise, there was no reason for such tit-for-tat exchanges. They had only met once before, it was the day after the incident in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort and the day I failed to hide my injury from Liusu. Could it be that after Shu Tong pulled Dong Xiaoye and Mo Fei away that day, something unpleasant happened that made Sister Tiger dislike her?

“Cousin, what are you talking about? Sister Xiaoye was joking with you.” On the one side, it was her close friend, and on the other side, it was her cousin. Seeing that they didn’t get along with each other, Liusu who was caught in the middle was in a dilemma. She could only repeatedly winked her eyes at Shu Tong, hoping that she would stop.

As if Shu Tong didn’t understand what Liusu’s eye signal meant, she said with a silly smile, “Oh? So Little Dong Dong was joking, hehe. That’s a shame, I thought I could really enjoy a big seafood feast…”

If Shu Tong was really the kind of person who would spend other people’s money, she wouldn’t have refused to spend Liu Xiaosheng’s money. From this, I could come to two conclusions: First, Shu Tong was really not a dumb woman…; Second, she and Dong Xiaoye were really having some sort of argument.

“I wasn’t joking. Although I can’t afford to eat there, I don’t need to spend money from my own pocket. Someone else will pay the bill for me. After all, as a woman, there are always men around me who like to pay for my meal.” Dong Xiaoye glanced at me slyly, causing my heart to skip a beat. Then I heard her pretentiously ask Shu Tong, “is there no such kind of men around Ms. Shu? Seriously? I thought you are about the same age as me. But don’t you have a boyfriend?”

Her surprised expression was so fake! In Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort that day, when I was talking on the phone with Liusu, Sister Tiger was listening on the side. She knew that Shu Tong had just broken up with Liu Xiaosheng. Now she was deliberately poking at someone’s wound. Seeing Shu Tong’s face become cold, I secretly kicked Dong Xiaoye’s leg underneath the table. What she did was clearly too much.

In fact, Shu Tong had just broken up with her boyfriend. But her? She was already twenty-six, but she never had a boyfriend before. She even had the audacity to mock other people? Without asking, I knew that when Dong Xiaoye said that there were “men” who like to pay for her meal, she was talking about me…

“Sister Xiaoye has a boyfriend?” Liusu asked curiously. Poor Dong Xiaoye. She had just won the secret battle against Shu Tong, but then she was immediately defeated by Liusu.

“Ah?” Sister Tiger’s skin wasn’t as fair as the other three women. Although her healthy wheat-colored skin turned red, it wasn’t that obvious. However, not knowing how to answer Liusu’s questions, she could only reply vaguely, “uh… Mhm..” At the same time, she secretly glanced at me from time to time.

‘What are you looking at me for? !’ I could only smile bitterly while questioning her using my eyes.

“Eh, by the way, I forgot to ask just now.” Seeing the three women sit down again, I quickly changed the subject, “Wan’er, didn’t I tell you to bring other people of the general operation team? Why didn’t Yang Wei, Elder Sister Liu, Elder Brother Gao, and Qin Lan come? Didn’t you tell them?”

“Huh?” Yao Wan’er looked at Liusu and Shu Tong in confusion and said strangely, “didn’t… Didn’t Cousin Shu and Liusu say that there is something they want to discuss with you? And it is something that is not appropriate to be discussed in front of many people, so they didn’t let me call everyone. Elder Brother Yang even told me that he would call you to scold you over the phone. He complained that you didn’t even let him know when you came back to the company, and now, you don’t even want to invite him to a meal.”

I didn’t receive a call from Yang Wei because my phone was out of power, and I was still charging it at home… But thinking of Yang Wei’s playful personality, I knew that most likely he was joking with Yao Wan’er. But… Liusu had indeed mentioned to me before that she wanted to discuss something with me. But what kind of thing would make her not want to invite everyone?

Seeing my confused expression, Yao Waner curiously said, “Liusu, haven’t you mentioned the thing you want to discuss to Elder Brother Nan?”

“Not yet…” Seeing that I frowned, Liusu panicked a little. She quickly explained, “a lot of things have happened to you recently, so I feel embarrassed to mention it to you. And this matter is really not suitable to discuss in front of many people. If it weren’t for my cousin who insisted on inviting you to dinner, I would’ve already told you.”

So it was about Shu Tong? I asked curiously, “What is it?”

“This…”

Liusu felt embarrassed and looked at Shu Tong. Shu Tong’s face instantly blushed and she hurriedly said, “it is a very important thing, but there is no rush. I will talk to you alone later…”

Saying that it was very important, but she didn’t want to discuss it immediately. Clearly, she didn’t want to discuss it in front of a certain someone…

Dong Xiaoye felt a little uncomfortable. As expected, Shu Tong glanced at her secretly and then said in a low voice, “I thought you would come here alone, I didn’t expect Officer Dong would come here with you. Maybe I should listen to Liusu and discuss it with you at your flat tomorrow…”

I didn’t know if it was accidental or intentional, but what she said was not very polite. So when Dong Xiaoye heard it, she couldn’t just pretend that she didn’t hear it. She chuckled and said mockingly, “oh, I’m sorry, but I have to come here. Because I have something important that I need to tell Liusu. Otherwise, there will be a big misunderstanding tomorrow when you get to his flat.”

It would only be strange if it didn’t cause a misunderstanding if Liusu suddenly discovered that Dong Xiaoye was living in my flat.
