Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Two Women Were Thinking Too Much
“Fine,” As expected, Dong Xiaoye said to me after pondering for a moment, “There should be a few vacant dormitories in the school. I will go back and talk to Sister Chen and ask her to clean up one of them. But let’s make it clear first, things like bedding, bedclothes, thermos, washbasin, you have to pay for them. As for the old woman, I will find a job for her at the school, but the salary is definitely not high, so you can’t complain about it. After all, the school isn’t rich. It is very hard for Sister Chen to run it. . .”
Tomorrow, I would ask Zhang Mingjie to transfer me one million, so I could deposit them in the old woman’s account. At that time, would she still need to work? She just needed a place to stay, the school didn’t need to pay her. I nodded hurriedly, “Thank you, thank you, Sister Xiaoye, you are really the kindest person I have ever seen in this world. Standing under a street lamp, you are the manifestation of the Bodhisattva. After putting on the chicken wings, you will be the angel descended to the earth, I am so lucky that I am able to get to know you…”
“Get lost!” Dong Xiaoye chuckled, “Is this how you praise girls? And I am not kind, you have to treat me to seafood feasts for a month!”
Without even thinking about it properly, I said with a smile, “I have no problem treating you to seafood feasts for a lifetime, let alone just one month.”
After I finished speaking, I realized how ambiguous the words were. Dong Xiaoye’s delicate face quickly turned bright red, like a shimmering lake in the setting sun, “You wish, and save you sweet words for someone else. If you dare to tease me again, I definitely will ignore this request.”
“I won’t do it again, I promise. . .” I secretly smiled bitterly. Actually, I really didn’t mean to tease her. It was just that I felt very grateful for what she did for me. I was a little too excited when she agreed, so I said something inappropriate. . .
The atmosphere became a little awkward after what I said. Neither of us knew what to say. Our hearts were beating very fast, as if we could feel the thinness of the air and the heaviness of the oxygen. The singer on the stage finished another song, but we even stopped pretending to be fascinated by the singing. Seeing Dong Xiaoye hesitated to speak several times, and seemed embarrassed to speak first, I decided to sacrifice myself and shamelessly mumbled, “Why is Mo Fei so slow. Is the Long Family unwilling to let people go?”
Probably because the formal banquet was about to begin, the singer on the stage did not continue to sing. The crowd began to disperse in unison, moving toward the mansion. Dong Xiaoye seemed to plan to enter the mansion as well, so she said, “Let’s go and find her and you’ll know.”
I couldn’t help but smile, “It would work if this was my flat. But this mansion is so big, how do I know where she might be? Besides, if I met with Long Yifan, it would be strange if he didn’t want to throw me out.”
“Not bad, you still know that you are not welcomed here, so you shouldn’t have come here in the beginning,” Dong Xiaoye rolled her beautiful eyes at me. “Forget it, just come with me, I’ll take you in so you can find her. I don’t think that guy dares throw me out.”
After the dance crowd dispersed, everyone began to flock toward the mansion. Seeing this scene, I guessed that even if Mo Fei wanted to come out, it would be very hard for her to leave, so I nodded.
This was the first time I visited a mansion like this in my life. As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked by the palace-like interior of the mansion. Damn. The outside already looked luxurious enough, but compared with the inside, it was almost insignificant.
The first floor and the second floor actually shared the same ceiling and the glorious lobby made me feel a little bit dizzy, and the high ceiling dazzled my eyes. Just the luxurious and glittering chandelier above my head alone, it was as big as my bedroom, it was extremely spectacular that it was simply jaw-dropping. The colorful Turkish carpet made me feel embarrassed to step on it.
The soothing classical music, elegant and lyrical. It was as if it was able to control people’s bodies, everyone’s movements appeared so soft and charming, even the waiter who passed by by chance with an expensive drink seemed to be like a handsome gentleman.
A tower of crystal champagne glasses had been erected in the middle of the hall. Under the lights, its hazy color was constantly changing, giving people a dreamy feeling. If champagnes were poured from top to bottom later, I believed that the scene would be more gorgeous.
Damn those filthy rich people. . .
“Huh? Chu Nan, I was about to find you outside.” Surprisingly, as soon as I just walked in, I ran into Mo Fei who was walking outside. “I’m sorry, I met an elder when saying goodbye to Uncle Long, so I chatted a few more words with them. I’m sorry to make you wait. Hehe but thanks to that elder, Uncle Long agreed to let us take the old woman and Ku’er away. . .
“Huh?”
Mo Fei had originally said with a smile, but after she saw the gorgeously dressed Dong Xiaoye next to me, a layer of frost suddenly appeared on her face. This was the coldness that I was familiar with, and it was the expression she usually had. She instinctively kept the distance from me, concealed her true feeling, and asked, “This young lady is. . .”
The feeling of women was always very sensitive. Dong Xiaoye was no different. She also hurriedly took a step to the side, as if it was embarrassing to stand next to me, “Hello, Miss Mo, my name is Dong Xiaoye. We have met before.”
“Met before?” Mo Fei frowned slightly. But soon she remembered where she had seen Dong Xiaoye, “Oh—I remember, at the police station, you are a policewoman!”
“Shhh—” I quickly made a silent gesture, “Keep your voice down.”
Mo Fei didn’t know why I asked her to keep her voice down. Although she recognized Dong Xiaoye, her suspicious expression did not fade.
“Chu Nan, why is Officer Dong with you?” Mo Fei, who was originally good at concealing her feelings, actually had the word suspicious written all over her face at this moment. For fear that I could not understand how she felt, she actually directly asked me why I was with Dong Xiaoye.
How could Dong Xiaoye not tell that Mo Fei had misunderstood her relationship with me? But just when she was about to explain hurriedly with a flushed face, I said first, “Xiaoye came here with me, and just like you, she is my friend.”
I thought that my response was very smart. Not only did I answer Mo Fei’s question without letting Dong Xiaoye misunderstand that I had betrayed Liusu, but I also helped Dong Xiaoye to cover up the real reason why she was here.
“Is that so? She came with Guo Xiang and Miss Liu as well?”
“Mhm.” I nodded quickly.
“And just like me, she is your friend?” Mo Fei’s question made me dazed. Seeing the resentful expression in her eyes, I suddenly remembered that I had promised to let her be my ‘girlfriend’ for one night. Then. . . Wouldn’t my answer just now cause even more misunderstanding? Then Mo Fei suddenly smiled slyly, “Like us? So more than just friends?”
Mo Fei did it on purpose, she definitely did it on purpose! Dong Xiaoye frowned immediately, her expression revealed a trace of obvious suspicion and hostility. Mo Fei’s words were too ambiguous, and Dong Xiaoye obviously mistakenly thought she was provoking her, saying that she was not worthy of being compared with her.
Women’s imagination was so rich. When they suspected that men were deceiving them, they didn’t even realize that they could be thinking too much. Especially at this time, both women were clearly thinking too much.
I didn’t like the “naughty” side of Mo Fei. Although I knew she was joking and “teasing” me, Dong Xiaoye didn’t know. Just when I wanted to express my dissatisfaction, the lights in the hall suddenly went out. The change immediately caused the people, who were dancing, to let out a surprised cry at the same time. My heart instinctively skipped a beat, and an ominous feeling flashed past my mind!
“Happy birthday to you—”
Birthday song? I looked at the place where the sound came from. The wooden door of the room on the right side of the hall was slowly opened, and the soft candlelight slowly came out.
Led by Long Yifan, several men and women in gorgeous clothes pushed a cake trolley out carefully. On the decorated golden trolley was a huge birthday cake that had around seven or eight layers. . .
Including Long Yifan, the people who were pushing the birthday cake trolley were three men and five women. They should all be Long Xiaotian’s children. Behind them, there were also several people singing the birthday song. The eldest one was about thirty or forty years old, and the youngest was still in his infancy. As soon as I saw them, I knew that this was the family of Long Xiaotian’s children.
However, hearing their singing, I could help but think to myself that Long Yifan should really invite a music teacher in advance to teach them how to sing songs. Damn, it was supposed to be a happy birthday song, but the way they sang it sounded like ghost howling. It would probably scare people to death. Mo Fei hugged my arm in fear immediately, and even Sister Tiger dashed behind me and her right hand had already reached into her handbag. . .
God damn it, was she really a policewoman. Why was she using me, a civilian as a shield?
Since we realized that it was a false alarm, everyone began to smile and sing along with the Long family.
“What is Long Xiaotian doing!?” Dong Xiaoye blushed under my gaze, and coughed embarrassedly, blaming Long Xiaotian for making her lose her composure. “He clearly wants to make it difficult for us to do our job. We have told him beforehand that he must tell us all plans for the party. . .”
If Long Xiaotian would cooperate with the police so much, then probably that he would not be real Long Xiaotian. After all, no one would like police disturbing their guests during a birthday banquet.
