Liusu curiously said, “a big misunderstanding? What big misunderstanding? Sister Xiaoye, what do you want to tell me?”


  Dong Xiaoye deliberately looked at Shu Tong, shook her head, and smiled, “if I can tell you in front of other people, I would’ve already done it. Liusu, what I need to tell you is a very serious police business, and I can only tell you. This is discipline.”


  What Dong Xiaoye said was a fact. However, it also clearly showed that she was trying to provoke Shu Tong.

  Yao Wan’er didn’t seem to notice the smell of gunpowder in the air. She naively said in a surprised tone, “it’s really a coincidence. No wonder no one said anything just now, it turns out that everyone is the same as me…


  “The same as you?” Liusu frowned and said, “Wan’er, you also have something to say, but it is not convenient for you to say it in front of other people?”


  Liusu didn’t ask Yao Wan’er who she wanted to talk to because she had already noticed that Yao Wan’er’s eyes were fixed on me. Hearing this, I instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

  Yao Wan’er’s face flushed, realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue. Not knowing how to respond to it, she could only nod her head and say, “mhm.”


  ‘Of course it is not convenient!’ I knew that she wanted to ask me about Mo Fei. But Liusu and the other two women didn’t know about it.

  Seeing Yao Wan’er’s face turn red, it would only be strange if they didn’t get the wrong idea. Especially Liusu. She had secretly stretched out her little hand under the table and pressed it on my thigh. The bratty girl only suspected that I might be cheating on her. But she seemed to have forgotten that there was a bullet wound under her palm.

  “Oh?…” She deliberately drew out her voice and sneered, “Wan’er, it is not that we want to hide it from you, but it is indeed very embarrassing for my cousin to discuss that thing in front of everyone. But I don’t know what kind of secret do you have that it is not convenient to share with us? After all, we are all women.”


  On the surface, it seemed like Liusu was trying to explain why Shu Tong couldn’t discuss her thing in front of everyone, but actually, she was asking what kind of secret did Yao Wan’er have that only I could know. I really didn’t understand. Liusu was a very boyish girl, but why would she get jealous so easily? Was it because she was a boyish girl, so her possessiveness was really strong?

  Fortunately, Yao Wan’er was not too dumb. Seeing that the expressions of the three other women were very strange, she hurriedly explained, “Liusu, Cousin Shu, Sister Xiaoye, please don’t get the wrong idea, I just want to ask Elder Brother Nan something, and it is about business.”


  Business? Not just those three women, I was also confused about it. I had already left Fengchang, what kind of business did she want to talk to me about? Unexpectedly, Yao Wan’er, who looked very innocent, would actually tell lies so easily.

  But Yao Wan’er’s reaction made my heart tremble. Her eyes actually tear up, “I made a serious mistake at work this morning, and Elder Brother Nan saw it. I want him to keep it a secret for me, otherwise. …… Otherwise Ms. Mo will definitely fire me.”


  ‘A serious mistake? Is she talking about Mo Fei kissing me? Uh… There is no way she is referring to that. Besides, it was Mo Fei’s fault at that time. Why would she fire Yao Wan’er? Mo Fei is definitely not that kind of unreasonable person.’


  I thought about it and said in a tactful way, “are you talking about… your disguise?”


  After thinking for a while, I used this slightly implicit word to ask her.

  “Ah!” Yao Wan’er let out a cry, “Elder Brother Nan, your food is getting cold, hurry up and eat it…”


  Sure enough…


  Liusu was puzzled, “what are you talking about? What disguise? Wan’er, why does Ms. Mo want to fire you?”


  “I, I…” Yao Wan’er probably also realized that her acting skills were terrible, and she couldn’t deceive other people. She sighed dejectedly and said, “Liusu, if you want to know, you can ask Elder Brother Nan when you go back. But please keep that a secret for me, and don’t let Ms. Mo find out that you know it. Otherwise, if she finds out that the colleagues in the general operation team or the people in the company know about this secret… even if my aunty is a senior executive, and even if the chairman intercedes with her, she will definitely still fire me…”


  Hearing Yao Wan’er’s explanation, Liusu was startled, “is it that serious? Wan’er, don’t scare me…”


  Yao Wan’er looked at me sadly and said, “as long as Elder Brother Nan doesn’t tell others in our company, it won’t be very serious…”


  Hearing this, Liusu was relieved. He glared at me and then said, “I dare him!”


  I smiled bitterly at Liusu and said, “of course I don’t dare to do it.” Then I turned to Yao Wan’er and pretended to be angry. “Do I look like the type of person who likes to gossip about other people’s secrets? Do you think I am Song Jia, that nosy girl?”


  Seeing my exaggerated angry expression, Yao Wan’er couldn’t help but burst out giggling, “You don’t…”


  “Is Mo Fei really that harsh? But to me, she looks like a person who is easy to talk to.” Shu Tong put down her chopsticks. She wiped her mouth with a tissue, stood up, and said, “I really don’t understand what you are talking about. You can carry on, but I’m going to fix my makeup…”


  “You didn’t take your bag,” Dong Xiaoye called to Shu Tong, who had walked quickly to the door, and smiled, “if you need to use the bathroom, just say it. Why do you have to say that you want to fix your makeup?”


  ‘Oh, so she just wants to use the bathroom…’ When I realized what she really wanted to do, I also couldn’t help thinking that sometimes, women’s words could be very euphemistic…


  Shu Tong glanced at me, the only man in the room, and blushed with embarrassment. She quickly snatched her handbag and fiercely said to Dong Xiaoye, “thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot it.”


  “You are welcome,” Dong Xiaoye smiled indifferently and said, “it’s just that I also want to go to the bathroom, but I didn’t bring a bag, so I can’t use the excuse of fixing up my makeup.”


  I really couldn’t figure out the connection between this explanation and her pointing out the real reason why Shu Tong wanted to go to the bathroom. But Shu Tong unexpectedly did not refute her. She coldly snorted at me and said, “having a meal with a man is really troublesome!”


  ‘What the heck! What did I do that offended them again? !’


  Liusu also got up and said, “wait for me, I’m going too.”


  I could swear to god that I really didn’t mean to do it, but I just couldn’t help but subconsciously ask, “is there a problem with this wine? Or do you all suffer from frequent urination?’


  “You are suffering from frequent urination!” Liusu punched my shoulder severely and then said, “Are you really that dumb? Wan’er has something to say to you, and Sister Xiaoye also wants to tell me something. Why do you want me to explain it clearly to you? Do you understand it now?”


  Seeing the contemptuous gazes of Shu Tong and Dong Xiaoye, I couldn’t help but think to myself again that sometimes, women’s words were so damn euphemistic…


  When only me and Yao Wan’er were left in the room, she became even more nervous.

  I knew that Yao Wan’er didn’t attend this dinner invitation just because of her identity exposure. Maybe she wanted to avoid it. So I spoke first and asked, “Wan’er, you and Mo Fei…”


  “My mother and Ms. Mo’s father were old friends,” Yao Wan answered me like a well-behaved and nervous primary school student answering a teacher’s question, “they were college classmates, but not many people know about this, Uncle Mo is a very good person. When my parents got married, they didn’t have the money to buy a house. Uncle Mo sold one of his houses to them at a low mortgage price that was almost as cheap as it was free. Then our families became neighbors. Uncle Mo was always busy with work. Aunty Wu… was also very busy, so she often asked my mother to help them take care of Ms. Mo. It can be said that we both grew up together. We didn’t separate until Ms. Mo graduated from junior high school and they moved away…”


  Wu Xueqing was very busy, and she had no time to take care of Mo Fei? From Yao Wan’er’s expression, I could tell that that woman obviously did not care about her family!

  “My aunty was also recommended by Uncle Mo to enter Fengchang and she got promoted very quickly also because of him,” Yao Wan’er smiled suddenly and said, “Elder Brother Nan, you probably don’t know. The feeling you give to people is very similar to Uncle Mo, and my aunty often said so. ”


  “Oh?” I smiled bitterly, “Is it my look? I’ve heard people say this already…”


  “Just a little bit similar, but that’s not the only thing that makes people think that way.” Yao Wan’er shook her head, “Actually, I think your temperament and the way you do things are more similar to Uncle Mo’s than your look. Uncle Mo was also very humorous and interesting. He was also the type of person that would not attract much attention in a crowd of people, and he didn’t like to attract attention as well. But he was a kind person. He was willing to help anyone who was in trouble. Even until now, whenever my mom and dad talked about him, their eyes would tear up. They always say that this world is not fair, why would it want to take away such a good man…”


  ‘You could’ve just said that apart from being a stupid good guy just like him, there is nothing extraordinary about me…’ I felt that it hurt my self-esteem a bit.

  “Although you both are the kind of people who look very ordinary at the first glance, you also exude a gentle and amiable feeling. This kind of feeling would make people unable to help themself but treat you as their family members.” Yao Wan’er’s face flushed, “Elder Brother Nan, you probably don’t remember it. A year ago, on the day you came to the company for the interview, you helped me…”


  “I helped you?”


  “You really don’t remember…” Yao Wan’er pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, and her eyes had a trace of disappointment, but her tone was full of gratitude and admiration, which made me feel ashamed and flattered…
