“You are dead! Dongfang, it’s all your fault! Come back here! I’ll show you the consequences of talking nonsense!”


  “Am I talking nonsense?” Dongfang was obviously much more agile than Chu Yuan. It was just running around the sofa and the tea table, but Chu Yuan just couldn’t catch up with her. Then I heard her carry on with a weird smile, “some jealous brocon once told me that she just couldn’t stand seeing her elder brother banter flirtatiously with Cheng…”


  “Ah!” Chu Yuan shouted loudly, and suddenly climbed onto the back of the sofa with anger, trying to catch Dongfang Lianren, “you are talking nonsense, when did I say that? !”


  God would not make anyone perfect. Chu Yuan liked watching football and basketball precisely because she was not good at sports. Even if she never lacked exercise, she still couldn’t change the fact that she was so clumsy that she would even trip over on the flat ground, let alone climbing something.

  Just when the weight of her body shifted forward slightly, she who was kneeling on the back of the sofa fell towards the floor with her head down. My soul almost jumped out of my body in fear when I saw this. Fortunately, I was sitting next to her. I hurriedly reached out and hugged her little waist, stopping her from falling in time. Then I pulled her towards me and let her lay on my lap.

  The two little girls were startled. Both of their faces had already turned pale from fear and they had completely fallen silent. I had also broken out in a cold sweat. I couldn’t help but angrily said to Chu Yuan, “stop playing around! What if you injured yourself?”


  Chu Yuan came back to her senses, her small face became even redder. She stared at Dongfang Lianren angrily and whimpered, “she was the one who started it!”


  “Yes, Elder Brother Nan, it was my fault. Please don’t scold Yuan Yuan…” Seeing that Chu Yuan’s eyes teared up because of anger, Dongfang also realized that her joke was a bit too much. Feeling guilty. she wanted to shoulder the blame for Chu Yuan.

  “I also want to scold you too!” I coldly said. “I am trying to discuss a serious matter with you. Why are you joking around? If you don’t care about it yourself, then why do I need to care about it? You can just go to France with your mother!”


  “No, please. Elder Brother, I do care about it. I’ll stop joking around. I will listen to you, I will do anything you say, so please, can you not kick me out?” Chu Yuan was still sniffling, and Dongfang Lianren started to cry anxiously again.

  “Elder Brother, Dongfang was playing with me, please don’t kick her out.”


  Uh…


  Alas, girls’ emotional transition was like changing weather; it was cloudy for a moment, and then sunny for another moment. They were chasing each other around giggling a few seconds ago, but now all their faces were covered with tears.

  Moreover, earlier Chu Yuan still wanted to hit Dongfang, but now she actually wanted to plead for Dongfang. It made me not know how to react for a while. Seeing that I didn’t say anything for a long time, Chu Yuan leaned back with a blushing face, timidly said, “Elder Brother, can you let me get up first…”


  I had already been irritated by the two girls’ unserious attitude towards the serious matter. At this moment, I was like a gasoline tank that was about to explode. I tried very hard to hold my anger back. But the moment I heard Chu Yuan asked, I finally couldn’t help but shout, “No! You just stay like this and don’t move!”


  Maybe it was because I rarely lost my temper. The rare outburst of anger caused Chu Yuan to tremble with horror. She panicked and said, “Oh.” She was actually like a kitten, lying on my lap obediently, not daring to move again.

  Speaking of which… This posture was really awkward. Besides, Chu Yuan was already a sixteen-year-old girl, so when she laid prone on my lap, it felt very odd.

  I was really angry. But was it because Dongfang wasn’t serious about her own problem? Or was it because of the ambiguous topic they had just mentioned? I didn’t know, and I habitually didn’t dig deeper into the topic.

  I didn’t know when it started, but whenever I talked about topics involving Chu Yuan and Liusu, I would have an inexplicable fear in my heart. In the past, I was only upset about the fact that Chu Yuan didn’t like Liusu, but now, it seemed that there were more things that made me worried…


  “Stop crying! I haven’t said that I’ll kick you out!” I pulled a straight face and said with a harsh tone. Although they were crying, I couldn’t allow myself to go easy on them at this moment. I could only try to end this topic quickly so that Chu Yuan could get up. “The Zhen Nuo I met at the door just now, you know her?” I asked Dongfang Lianren.

  “Mhm,” Dongfang Lianren seemed to know what I really wanted to ask, and took the initiative to confess, “her eye was scratched by me. I was angry that she listened to my mother like a dog and betrayed me.”


  “She works for your mother?” I couldn’t help but be surprised. No matter from which perspective, whether it was the way she acted or the elegant temperament she showed, that woman Zhen Nuo was like a shrewd and capable daughter of a wealthy family like Mo Fei. Such a woman was actually working for her mother? Who was Dongfang Lianren’s mother exactly? And what did she do for a living?

  “Yes, actually she was supposed to work for me,” Dongfang Lianren’s words continued to shock me. She carried on saying in a disdainful tone, “she is the babysitter I just said. She is responsible for taking care of me in Bei Tian city.”


  My mouth was wide open in shock. It was so wide that I could even stuff two boiled eggs in my mouth at the same time.

  Zhen Nuo was a babysitter? ! That woman who looked like an arrogant lady from a wealthy family turned out to be Dongfang little brat’s nanny?! At the door just now, one of the bodyguards probably wanted to give me Zhen Nuo’s business card. But why did a twenty-four or twenty-five years old babysitter have a business card? And she even had bodyguards…


  This was too unbelievable. No wonder Dongfang Lianren used the word ‘betrayal’. No wonder Zhen Nuo didn’t want to give me her business card…


  “Are you sure… she is your nanny?”


  “Of course,” Dongfang Lianren wiped away her tears with her sleeves and frowned, feeling very dissatisfied with my distrust of her. “She has been taking care of me since she was sixteen. It has been eight years now. Elder Brother Nan, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Yuan Yuan, she also knows Zhen Nuo.”


  Since she was sixteen years old! When she was still in school? Seeing the disbelief on my face, Chu Yuan nodded and said, “Elder Brother, it’s true. I’ve told you in the past that Dongfang was always sent to the school and picked up from the school by a nanny. That person was Sister Zhen Nuo. I knew her when I was still in junior high school. She always called me Lady Chu…”


  I had absolutely no prejudice against people who worked as a nanny, but… the appearance of Zhen Nuo absolutely subverted my understanding of the word nanny. It turned out that there was such an elegant nanny.

  Thinking about the respectful attitude of the two strong bodyguards towards her, I couldn’t help but sigh, ‘this is so ridiculous.’ At the same time, I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘what is the background of Dongfang’s family?’
……

  “Elder Brother Nan, please come back early. If there are only Yuan Yuan and me at home, we will be scared… Maybe, maybe you can take us with you?”


  For the third time, I pushed away Dongfang Lianren’s hand that grabbed my shirt. “Can you stop sticking to me like a tail? You also said that Zhen Nuo may have arranged for someone to guard downstairs. If I took you out, wouldn’t that expose that I lied to her? Besides, all the people who want to find you are working for your mother. So what is there to be afraid of? You two just stay in the flat and don’t come out. Without knowing that you are actually in my flat, I doubt they would dare to break into my flat.”


  “Forget it, Dongfang, even if you just knelt down and begged him, he wouldn’t take us with him” Chu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and playing live football on my PS2. She didn’t even turn her head when she said those words. But her tone was very strange, “It’s not like you don’t know why he is going out. He is going to have a date with Elder Sister Cheng. You think he would bring two third wheels? You can stop saying that you are scared, otherwise, you will just give him an excuse to let Elder Sister Xiaoye stay with us.”


  Dong Xiaoye who was walking in front stopped all of a sudden. She couldn’t help but turn her head and ask, “Is that true? Little Chu, if you think it is not convenient, I can stay…”


  “Please don’t. Because of what she said, you need to go with me even more.” Then I turned to Chu Yuan, “haven’t I said it already? Your Elder Sister Liusu knows that I have a leg injury, so she also doesn’t want me to walk too much, but in the morning, I have promised to invite a colleague to a meal. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your elder sister Xiaoye when we come back. Besides, you’ve also eavesdropped on my conversation with Liusu, so don’t tell me that you didn’t hear it. Your teacher Shu Tong is also with Liusu. If you are not afraid of Dongfang being tied home by her, then you can also change your clothes and go with me.”


  “That little antique teacher is also there? Then I’m not going!” There was no way Dongfang would dare to see Shu Tong. She subconsciously let go of the hand that grabbed my cuff again.

  Chu Yuan also knew that her little trick had been exposed, so he avoided the topic, and said, “Who eavesdropped on your conversation? I just happened to go to your room to borrow something. I waited for a while because you were talking on the phone. I even massaged your shoulders for you. How could you say that I deliberately eavesdropped on your conversation like I am a nosy person?”
