Chapter 340: Chapter 341 Xue Ziyuan Is the Third Lady?
“Because the Third Lady will keep her words,” Min Rou said with a serious face, “Since she said that she has a reason to help you, then she will definitely help you to the end. So it is useless for me to scream. If this is the case, I would rather not offend the Third Lady. Only a fool would do that.”
“For this reason, you’d rather be… Ahem, I mean would rather be humiliated by us?”
Liusu kicked me secretly. I didn’t know whether she was angry at me for portraying her as a villain, or whether she was trying to remind me not to overdo it… It was probably the former.
“What is important to a successful woman is not her appearance nor her body, but the wealth and power she possesses. In other words, everything I have today is given to me by the Third Lady. So, in order not to lose all of this…” Uncharacteristically, Min Rou suddenly hugged my neck and said flirtingly, “Not to mention if you want to strip my clothes, even if you wanted me to sleep with you, I wouldn’t mind it. The Third Lady has already told me that as long as it is your request, I have to try my best to satisfy it, whether it is material, spiritual, or physical…”
I knew it was impossible that she would meet this kind of request, and Liusu knew it too. But she still couldn’t help but take it seriously. She hurriedly pulled me away from her and said, “how can you be so shameless? !”
“Ms. Cheng’s words are a bit unreasonable. It was you two who wanted to do this to me. I had no other choices…”
“Don’t worry, we will say shameless things, but we will not do shameless things, I hope you are the same,” I interrupted her and moved away from her. In the shocked eyes of two women, I opened the front door of the car and took out a bundle of cash from the storage box in the passenger seat.
I took off the Omega watch from my wrist, stuffed it into the hand of the stunned Min Rou, and said, “Go back and tell the Third Lady that we can handle our own business, we don’t need her help.”
Min Rou looked at the things in her hands and said in confusion, “Mr. Chu, this is…”
“That’s 10,000 yuan. The bill for the lunch was 1800 yuan, and the fee for the hotel room was 6,000. There is still some surplus, but you can think of it as a petrol fee. As for the watch, I don’t need it, so I’m giving it back to you. I am just a poor man pretending to be a rich man. Even if it is a real watch, it still won’t change the fact that I am a poor man…
“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t tell me that the watch is damaged, and you want me to pay for the damage. I’m telling you, it was you who forced that watch on me, I didn’t ask for it, so even if it was damaged, I won’t pay for the damage.”
“No, I didn’t mean that,” Min Rou was even more flustered than when I tried to scare her, “Mr. Chu, the Third Lady has asked me to help you. If you give me all the money, how am I going to explain to the Third Lady? Also, this watch is a gift from the Third Lady…”
“I am not worthy of such an expensive watch,” I interrupted her again and smiled, “Also, I can’t afford such help. I’m just an ordinary white-collar worker. So I don’t want to owe other people such an expensive favor. If the Third Lady really wants to help me, then you can tell her that stop making me owe her is the best help she can give me. Thank you.”
“You are making it difficult for me…”
“I didn’t make it difficult for you, I just asked you to pass a message. You don’t have to do anything else. If you don’t tell her, then you are making it difficult for me,” Min Rou looked very troubled. She seemed to want to say something else, but I was not interested in listening. I simply said to Liusu, “Get in the car. Let’s go.”
…
The Cold War between Liusu and me finally ended. But it was not because she had forgiven me for staying in Fengchang, but because of her curiosity about the Third Lady. It made her unable to remain silent any longer, so she went home with me.
I went home instead of going back to the company because I was very worried about Chu Yuan.
“You mean… That Xue Ziyuan is the Third Lady?”
There were five people in the room. In addition to me, Liusu, Chu Yuan, and Dongfang, Dong Xiaoye were also there. She came back at noon to deliver food to Dongfang. When we came in, she just finished her afternoon nap and was about to go back to work. Seeing that our faces looked very serious, she also stayed.
For Liusu’s question, I didn’t have a definite answer, “It is just my guess. I am not sure…”
“What are you not sure of? The people who have that kind of power, apart from Mo Fei, there is only her left. But there is no need for Mo Fei to do this kind of thing.” Dong Xiaoye said with a sulky tone.
She seemed to be still angry with me about the ‘game’ we had last night. “I told you it was her a long time ago, but you didn’t believe it. Now she has appeared in front of you… There are not many coincidences in this world.”
“But I don’t think there is a need for Ziyuan to do this kind of thing either.”
“Why not?” Dong Xiaoye said, “It is all about surprises. Surprise, do you understand? Women all like this, they like men to surprise them, and they also like to surprise their men. This is called romantic.”
“Oh?” I stroked my chin, looked at her in a look as if I had just learned something new about her, and jokingly said, “I didn’t expect that the word ‘romantic’ would pop out from your mouth. By the way, how do you know that women like surprises?”
Dong Xiaoye knew that I was deliberately making fun of her. She immediately lifted her leg and wanted to kick me, “Are you blind! I am a woman too!”
I dodged Dong Xiaoye’s kick, but I couldn’t dodge Liusu’s attack from the back. I got kicked in the butt and almost fell into Chu Yuan’s arms. Then I heard Liusu say angrily, “Don’t deliberately change the topic!”
Alas, she knew me too well…
Just like Dong Xiaoye would habitually play with a drink can, Liusu would habitually sit cross-legged, or Shu Tong would habitually hug a plush toy, I habitually placed my hand on Chu Yuan’s head after I stood firm behind the chair. Feeling her soft hair, I smiled and said, “What else is there to discuss about? We have already discussed everything, and since there is nothing left to say…”
“Who said there is nothing to discuss?” Liusu glared at me and said, “Is that Xue Ziyuan the Third Lady or not? First, she asked you to be the negotiator on behalf of Fengchang and made very generous negotiation terms, and now she is helping you like this. What purpose does she have?”
I didn’t want Ziyuan to be the mysterious third lady, because if she was really the third lady, her identity would make the relationship between us become distant. So before she told me in person, there was still a glimmer of hope in my heart; a hope that she was not the third lady.
However, I had a premonition that she was the Third Lady, although I didn’t like this premonition at all. If two people were already living in different worlds, then they were destined to move further and further away from each other. If she was really the Third Lady, I would lose a friend from now on because of her help. This was no longer a surprise, but proof that we no longer understood each other…
Probably it was the lack of courage to face the reality, I smiled bitterly, “Didn’t Sister Xiaoye say it already? She wants to give me a surprise…”
“So, the Third Lady is really her…” Liusu’s expression was a bit complicated, and there was no doubt she was jealous again, “What is your relationship with her?”
“We are friends who grew up together.”
“What kind friend?”
“What do you mean what kind of friend? Because we got along well, so we had a good relationship.” Seeing the jealous look of Liusu after she clearly had a wild imagination, I couldn’t help but chuckle. “When she left Bei Tian city, we were just high school students. Don’t tell me that you are thinking that we used to date each other, and then before she left Bei Tian city, we had some kind of vow that we would only marry each other.”
Hearing that I clearly pointed out the suspicion in her mind, Liusu hurriedly denied it, “I didn’t say that…”
“Is it that strange to think that way?” Dong Xiaoye suddenly intervened, “You are just like a woman magnet. Not to mention high school, I wouldn’t be surprised if you said that you started dating when you were in primary school.”
“Even if I started to date someone in kindergarten, I have never dated her!” I looked at Dong Xiaoye’s contemptuous eyes and said lightly, “Alas, Xiaoye, I really feel sad for you. Your words seriously exposed how boring your teenage life is.
“It is precisely because you have never dated someone when you were young that you would say such naive words. Do you know what the typical final outcome of puppy love is? It’s a disappointment, and it is the realization of how fragile and absurd all the vows of eternal love are in the face of the test of reality.
“Do you really think teenagers would understand love? They are just curious about what love is. Not to mention that Ziyuan and I are pure friends. Even if we had really dated each other before, you think our feelings for each other would last until today? I mean, even if you have never dated a boy before, you must have seen a lot of them, right? How many people would end up marrying the people they loved at high school? I don’t think I need to tell you this, right?”
“Who, who said my teenage life was boring?” Dong Xiaoye hurriedly retorted with a blushing face. She became so angry that she completely forgot that she once claimed to be a relationship expert in front of Chu Yuan and Dongfang. “So what if I have never dated a boy before? Even if I have never dated a boy, it does not mean that my teenage life was boring, alright!”
“It is exactly because you still think that there is a thing called eternal love like a little girl, and you haven’t lost the childish innocence, that I said your teenage life was very boring…”
