Chapter 301: Chapter 302 Dongfang Is Going Abroad?
Translator: Doggotranslation
“Is it because you are girls, so I have to turn a blind eye to what is happening and condone you skipping school?” I coldly asked, “are you two planning to hide in the room for the whole afternoon? I guess that when you ran away from the school, you didn’t even ask for a leave from your teacher, right? Are you not afraid that your school will call mom and dad?”
Chu Yuan was stunned. Only until this moment did she realize the seriousness of the consequences. You have to know that as an excellent teacher, my old man had a rigid and strict attitude towards education. No matter how much he doted on Chu Yuan, if he knew that Chu Yuan had skipped classes, he would definitely want to scold her, and maybe also give her an additional PE class.
Seeing that Chu Yuan’s face turn pale, I knew that what I guessed was right. They were clearly very scared when they ran away from the school, so how would they remember to ask for a leave from their teacher? I shook my head and sighed. “Forget it, you don’t have to worry about this. I’ll call your teacher later and ask for a leave for you two. You can now go back to your room to play.”
Chu Yuan and Dongfang Lianren’s faces were filled with disbelief. As if they didn’t believe their ears, Dongfang asked in a surprised tone, “Elder Brother Nan, you... you don’t want to ask me any questions?”
“I do. I am also very curious about what happened to you. But since you don’t want to tell me, naturally, I won’t force you. After all, you also call me Elder Brother Nan, so I have to act like your elder brother. But...” I deliberately paused for a second and looked at Dongfang sternly, “there is also one thing that I want you to know. I won’t scold you, and I am not scared of the trouble you caused me. You know why? It is because Yuan Yuan and I don’t treat you as an outsider. So, you can tell me when you are ready to tell me.”
The subtext of my words was that if she regarded me as an outsider, then she didn’t need to tell me, but of course, I would not be dealing with any troubles that she had caused.
I didn’t want Dongfang Lianren to feel that she was being questioned. That would only give her too much pressure. I simply told her that if she wanted to talk, I was willing to listen. In this way, she might use this opportunity to vent the grievance and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Interrogator and listener, friend’s elder brother and her own elder brother; who she was more likely to trust, the answer was obvious.
I was just playing a simple trick to deceive Dongfang, and Dongfang this little brat was completely fooled by me.
“Actually, whether it is a hunger strike or running away from home, the reason is not very complicated. Moreover, I never want to hide it from you, Elder Brother Nan. Because... I know that the only person in this world that can help me, and the only person who is willing to help me is you...” Dongfang Lianren looked at me with ‘admiration’. There was a little shyness and embarrassment in her eyes, but her quiet voice was filled with infinite confidence. Even if my skin was as thick as a city wall, it would also be melted by this kind of praise. I didn’t expect that I actually had such a great image in her mind…
“After all, you are the only stupid good guy I know...”
Before hearing those words, I felt like I was on cloud nine. But after hearing this, I felt like I fell from the cloud and crashed directly on the concrete ground. Especially seeing the glad expression on her face, I felt very humiliated. Did I really look like a rare stupid good guy in their eyes? !
Chu Yuan wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh. She was trying so hard to hold her laughter back that it made her face red. I was so angry that I almost wanted to press those two bratty girls on the sofa and spank their butts. “I’m sorry, I can’t help you. I am not that stupid as you think. I think it is better for me to call the woman and ask her to pick you up.”
Seeing me take out a piece of paper that had a phone number on it out of my pocket, Dongfang was startled at first, then she suddenly realized whose number it was. She suddenly screamed and jumped toward me, “you can’t give me to her!”
Two soft balls were suddenly pressed onto my face, and a faint fragrance poured into my nose. In order to grab the piece of paper, Dongfang Lianren actually sat on my thigh and leaned forward to reach for the piece of paper in my instinctively raised hands. She had completely ignored that in this way she would be taken advantage of by me. Although, I didn’t want to take advantage of her.
“Dongfang, what are you doing? ! My elder brother has a wound on his leg!” I didn’t know if Chu Yuan was worried about me more, or she was worried about me taking advantage of her friend, she quickly hugged Dongfang’s waist and dragged her off me. Then she stared at me fiercely, her pretty face was red with anger, “you pervert! You actually touched a girl’s chest with your face! Go to hell!” After she said that, she actually looked around as if she wanted to grab something and hit me with it.
‘God damn it! It’s not my fault, alright!’
Dongfang completely ignored Chu Yuan and begged me, “Elder Brother Nan, you can’t tell her that I am here. Otherwise, I’ll be dead!”
Her eyes were filled with tears. She was scared. My eyes were also filled with tears. But it was caused by pain.
Holding my thigh tightly, I could feel the big beads of sweat coming out from my forehead. I gritted my teeth and asked with a shaking voice, “you will be dead? I think you want me dead, right?!”
“Ah! Elder Brother, are you alright?” Chu Yuan knew that I was a person who wouldn’t show a painful expression easily, so she was taken aback. She hurriedly put down the chair she had just picked up, rushed to me in three steps, and squatted down in front of me, her big eyes filled with panic and fear. Seeing that I was holding my thigh tightly, her both hands stopped in the air suddenly, not daring to touch me.
“I’m sorry, Elder Brother Nan, I didn’t do it on purpose...” Dongfang little brat was startled. Seeing that I was in so much pain, she also couldn’t help but tremble in fear, “Does it really hurt that much?”
“I, I’m fine...” Pretending to be a strong and fearless man was the basic quality of any man, so I lied. ‘Damn it!’
“Elder Brother Nan, I’m sorry. I will never laugh at you anymore. You must not tell Zhen Nuo that I am hiding in your house. Please...” Dongfang Lianren pursed her mouth. Although she was trying very hard to hold back her tears, she still couldn’t hold them back and cried out in the end. “I don’t want to go abroad, I don’t want to transfer to other schools. I don’t want to leave you and Yuan Yuan! Elder Brother Nan, I’m begging you, can you please let me hide here, I really don’t want to leave!”
‘Go abroad? Transfer to other schools?’ I didn’t know why Dongfang was crying, and I couldn’t understand what she was talking about; but there was one thing I was certain of, and that was, she really knew Zhen Nuo!
Seeing Dongfang cried, Chu Yuan’s eyes also started to tear up. I couldn’t help but frown and say, “Why are you crying? If you have problems, then just say it. Will crying solve any problems?”
I shouldn’t have said this in such a harsh tone. It only made Dongfang cry even louder. It was not that I hadn’t seen her cry before. When she thought I would stop Chu Yuan from playing with her, she cried. But that time, her tears were more like a tool for performance. They were very contrived. But now she was like a child, and her cry was simple and innocent.
Chu Yuan sobbed and said, “Elder Brother, Dongfang’s mother wants her to study in France...”
“Go to study in France?” I was taken aback. After thinking for a while, I tried my best to make a smiley face, “but that’s a good thing...”
“Waah....!” Good god. Dongfang Lianren’s cry increased several decibels all of sudden, almost deafening my ears.
“Not good at all!” Chu Yuan seemed to forget that she was still worried about my injury. She hit my thigh and cried, “her mother said that she bought her a house in France, and she doesn’t need to come back to Bei Tian city anymore!”
That was even better! After the two of them were separated, I didn’t have to worry about Dongfang, this bratty girl, having any bad influence on Chu Yuan anymore! I thought so in my heart, but I didn’t dare to say it. I had to pretend to ask with regret, “Why? Don’t you have a good time here?”
“If... if I knew, why would I... I... go on a hunger strike and run away from home.? !” Dongfang Lianren was still crying, and she couldn’t even say a whole sentence properly.
“Your mother didn’t say why? I remember you said that your mother has a business in France, right? It must be for your own good. After all, after you move to France, it is more convenient for her to take care of you...”
Of course, I hoped that Dongfang would move to France to live with her mom, whether it was for Chu Yuan or her own future; but subconsciously, I also felt a little reluctant to see her leave, because I seemed to have never defeated this sly little fox before.
Dongfang’s reaction to what I said was completely unexpected to me. She shouted angrily while tears still flowed down her cheeks, “She’s not doing it for me! Since when did she really care about me? She comes back to Bei Tian city for at most ten days a year, but she bought two houses in Bei Tian City. Since I entered junior high school, she never lived with me again. To someone who left her daughter in the sole care of a nanny, what difference does it make?where I live?!”
I was both shocked and speechless. I couldn’t believe what Dongfang Lianren had just said, because I really didn’t believe that there was such an irresponsible mother in the world. Even in the same city, she still didn’t live with her daughter? And she bought two houses for this purpose? Was her attitude towards family love as casual as her attitude towards money? No wonder Chu Yuan said that the relationship between Dongfang and her mother was not harmonious. Compared with Dongfang, I always felt that how great my life would be if my mother could stop nagging at me…
“Then why did she want to send you abroad?” I was a stubborn person. I firmly believed in the greatness of maternal love, so I was hoping to hear a reason that would justify this decision.
