Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 405 - Min Rou
“You don’t need to feel sorry for me,” I picked up the check, pushed it back to Xingyu, and said with a smile, “You should feel sorry for Xingyu. It was her elder brother who made the mistake, but she has to apologize to me on behalf of him. This is really exasperating… Fortunately, you call me Elder Brother Nan, otherwise, I really don’t want to give him any face.”
Xingyu was surprised, her face was filled with disbelief, “Elder Brother Nan, you… You won’t press charges against my brother now, right?”
“Yeah, I’m an elder brother after all. You probably don’t know, I may look like a guy who isn’t scared of anything, but in fact, I’m actually really scared of my younger sister crying. The moment she shed her tears, I would not be able to bring myself to refuse any request she made. Alas, I really have no backbones when arguing with my younger sister.”
I jokingly said, “Fortunately, you haven’t married Brother Guo; otherwise, when you become his wife, it means you can no longer call me Elder Brother, at that time, I may not be this soft-hearted. If you really want to thank someone, then thank my younger sister. She is very naughty, but I still have no other choice but to spoil her. You on the other hand are so sensible and well-behaved, so how would I have the heart to make you cry?”
Xingyu knew I was joking, but she still shed tears and said gratefully, “Even if I married Guo Xiang, you will still be my elder brother, I… Elder Brother Nan, thank you…”
“Now that Xiao Nan has promised you. Why are you still crying?” Guo Xiang was not happy. He felt even more guilty, “Xiao Nan, I’m really sorry…”
“Sorry my ass,” I chuckled, “It’s not like I haven’t offended anyone before or gotten punched by anyone. What is the big deal about it? Haha, actually, this is not a bad thing. In the past, the Liu family wouldn’t acknowledge your relationship with Xingyu, but now you helped them to save Liu Xiaosheng’s face and the Liu family’s face, so they wouldn’t dare to show a strong attitude in front of you, right?”
I felt that Liu Xiaosheng had already gotten what he deserved, so there was no need for me to kick him when he was down. Not to mention that the Liu family had a lot of money, I might not be able to win the case even if I wanted to sue him. At most, I would only ruin his reputation. But what was the use of it? It was better to sell a favor to the Liu family, and if there was an opportunity in the future, they could return the favor by helping Fengchang in the business world.
I was a realist. I was not someone who cared too much about their own face. Besides, wouldn’t it be much better to make them feel like they owe me?
Guo Xiang was a man, but after hearing my reply, his eyes also teared up, “Xiao Nan, I… Xingyu and I owe you too much…”
“Don’t be like this,” For Xingyu, Guo Xiang had to do something that went against his own principle, but I was also doing the same thing for Mo Fei.
Seeing that he was so moved that he even teared up, I was a little bit speechless. I quickly changed the topic and said, “You just said that you can only beg me, what do you mean by that? Have you begged others before?”
Guo Xiang and Xingyu looked at each other, they both looked ashamed. After sitting down, Guo Xiang said, “It’s Miss Min…”
“Min Rou?” I was confused, “What did she say?”
“The place where Liu Xaiosheng had an accident was in the ecological park of Moon Valley. The Liu family did not know the specific details of the accident, so they demanded an explanation from Miss Min with a strong attitude two days ago.
“They believed that it was the improper handling of the wolf on the Moon Valley’s side that caused the accident. For this reason, some of Moon Valley’s members were asked to come out, saying that it was mediation, but in fact, it was to help the Liu family to put pressure on Miss Min.
“But Miss Min is not an ordinary woman after all. She was very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. On the surface, she appeared to be very apologetic; but in fact, she hadn’t backed down a single step. As a result, in the last two days, it looked like the Moon Valley was really the one who was responsible for what happened to Liu Xiaosheng.
“However, this morning, when the Liu family put pressure on Miss Min again, Miss Min took out a lab document that shocked everyone. Xingyu’s father panicked after seeing the document, and he immediately went to verify it with Liu Xiaosheng. With so many witnesses and evidence, what can Liu Xiaosheng possibly say?”
Guo Xiang absolutely enjoyed the embarrassment of the Liu family. There was clearly a gloating expression in his eyes. “In the end, his father lowered himself and begged Miss Min to forgive Liu Xiaosheng, but Miss Min said that it was not up to her to decide, and he needed to talk to you…”
So this was the reason… Min Rou that scheming woman. She definitely waited for the Liu family to put more pressure on her before she took out the document. She wanted to embarrass the Liu family in front of everyone, thus dispelling their idea of going to court with me. After I thought about it, it actually made sense. After all, the Liu family was not a small family that would be scared of going to court with me. The reason why they gave up going to the court with me was that they had offended Min Rou.
This was probably also the reason why Dong Xiaoye was talking to her secretly at that time. No wonder Min Rou advised Dong Xiaoye not to get the police involved. If the police intervened in the investigation, there would be no room for negotiation in this matter. If that really happened, Min Rou would not have any problems, but I would be in deep trouble.
Sure enough, it was because of me that Dong Xiaoye gave up her principles… Now that the Liu family wanted to cover this matter up, using money to compensate me seemed to be the only solution. Min Rou cleverly tied me to her position, so that the Liu family didn’t dare to offend me easily. But why did she want to give me such a big favor for no reason? Could it be the Third Lady’s idea again?
What did the Third Lady want to do this time?
The five million Xingyu brought was not just hush money. They wanted me to intercede with Min Rou for them. I was very curious. Min Rou said that few people in Bei Tian City knew about her relationship with the Third Lady, so what kind of background did she have that made the Liu family who had offended her so scared? Five million… It was just a fee for me to say a few words to her…
Guo Xiang and Xingyu didn’t know Min Rou well. Moon Valley Club was just a name that people called privately. In fact, Min Rou owned a number of regular hotels, restaurants, hot springs, clubs, resorts, and high-end entertainment centers. Moon Valley Club was a special chain of business services that combined all of her businesses and offered them to a small group of people.
To put it bluntly, it was a high-end service that provided extravagant enjoyment. Because of its strong confidentiality, it had attracted a group of members with high social status. Among them, there were many high-ranking government officials. As a result, a special place for influential people to socialize with each other was formed. Because of this, Moon Valley had a powerful network of resources…
As to why Min Rou, a seemingly weak woman, had such a strong economic background, there were many different opinions. Because she kept a low profile, rarely showing her face in public, people’s knowledge of her was extremely limited. There were rumors that she was the illegitimate daughter of an overseas business tycoon; some say that she was the daughter of a high-ranking government official; there were also people saying that she was the mistress of a financial tycoon.
In short, there were different opinions, and it was difficult to tell which one was true and which was not. Anyway, no one believed that she started from scratch. After all, she was too young.
In order to get close to Min Rou, many people would compete with each other for the qualification to join the Moon Valley. There was even a saying in this special circle: “If you want a leisure life like the one an emperor has, you need to first make Min Rou smile.” This showed how indifferent Min Rou normally was in front of other people. The difficulty of making her smile was almost the same as the difficulty of pursuing her, and whoever was able to make her smile, would be able to live a leisurely life like an emperor…
Speaking of which, did Min Rou really not like smiling?
I finally realized why I didn’t need to pay for the bill when I took Shu Tong’s family to Great Waves seafood restaurant. It turned out that that was Min Rou’s business…
Just because of a request from the Third Lady, a mysterious indifferent woman who always kept a low profile came to me and became my secretary… I suddenly did not want to know the identity of the Third Lady, fearing that it would scare me…
Guo Xiang and Xingyu wanted to invite me to a meal, but I told them that I had other things to do. After parting with them, it was almost time for Ziyuan to get off work. I hurriedly called Liusu, telling her that we were going to host a party for Ziyuan tonight. I told her the location and asked her to come over after she sent the Shu family back to the hotel.
Because of what I learned from Guo Xiang and Xingyu, I was no longer in the mood to visit Liu Xiaosheng, lest that guy would say that I was shedding crocodile tears. Not to mention that I was not stupid enough to visit someone who wanted to harm me.
After thinking about it, I gave Chu Yuan a call, asking her to ask Dong Xiaoye if she wanted to join us. After all, her mission was to protect me, so if I didn’t inform her, he would probably get mad at me again. In terms of why I didn’t ask her myself. It was because since she saw my naked body, she always gave me attitude when talking to me…
In fact, the attitude of Chu Yuan and Dongfang towards me wasn’t any better. Chu Yuan would glare at me from time to time and always use various methods to find fault with me. She would even kick me for no reason.
And Dongfang Lianren… She would blush whenever she saw me and run away before I could say anything. Even when we were having a meal together, she would not dare to look at me. She became less talkative and often fell into a daze when looking at me secretly. When I noticed it, she would run away in a panic again… I seriously didn’t know what she was thinking…
When I walked back to the company, Chu Yuan also called me, saying that Dong Xiaoye would come over after picking her and Dongfang up.
It was a party for Ziyuan, but I didn’t expect that Chu Yuan would want to come as well. But she told me that Dongfang had been staying at our flat for too long, she needed some fresh air.
