Chapter 389 - Exposed?
“Your boss? Took the initiative to invite him? ”
“Yes,” Manager Tian said, “The Siberian tiger whip Mr. Liu offered to buy with 1.5 million yuan is a gift that my boss prepared for Mr. Chu. It was not an excuse for raising the price…”
Liu Xiaosheng stared at me in shock as if this was the first day he met me. He even stammered, “For, for him?”
Seeing Manager Tian nod, Liu Xiaosheng was so shocked that he couldn’t even speak. I, on the other hand, smiled and said, “It’s really a shame, Mr. Liu. If you came here five minutes earlier, there might still be some soup left for you, but now… hehe… There is nothing left.”
Since the boss of this club was the Third Lady, Manager Tian’s words could prove my relationship with the Third Lady. If Liu Xiaosheng originally didn’t believe the recent rumors about that cooperation and concession, then now he had no reason not to believe it.
I could finally let out a sigh of relief. Now Liu Xiaosheng would not expose my true identity because to him, I was even more mysterious than the Third Lady.
As expected, Liu Xiaosheng was silent.
The girl in the cool dress was also a little anxious, “Xiaosheng, why don’t you say anything? Who is he? Do you know each other?”
This was what was remarkable about Liu Xiaosheng. Clearly, he was trying to mock me earlier, but now, he pretended like it never happened and said to the girl next to him, “Song’er, let me introduce my friend to you. He is Chu Nan…”
“You are Chu Nan?” The girl’s eyes lit up, “The Chu Nan from Fengchang Group? I know you, my dad often talks about you recently.”
‘Your dad? Who is your dad?’ I was confused, “You are?”
“My name is Li Song, Xiaosheng’s girlfriend,” The girl no longer showed any contempt in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and said in gratitude, “My dad is Li Xinghui from Blue City Real Estate.”
“Oh, so you are Mr. Li’s daughter. Nice to meet you…” I was surprised, not because she was Li Xinghui’s daughter, but because she was Liu Xiaosheng’s girlfriend. He had just broken up with Shu Tong not long ago, but in just a few days, he already found a new girlfriend? Moreover… Based on Li Xinghui’s appearance, was this girl really his biological daughter?
I secretly took a peek at Shu Tong. There was no anger in her eyes, only self-deprecating and relief. Indeed, how could a person like Liu Xiaosheng treat her sincerely? Whether she gave up on Liu Xiaosheng or Liu Xiaosheng gave up on her, it was a kind of luck for Shu Tong.
“Me too.” In addition to admiration and gratitude, the last expression in her eyes was a trace of disappointment. “I’ve long wanted to meet the hero who saved my dad. But I didn’t expect that I would meet you here. Thank you for saving my dad’s life.”
Reputations were not necessarily always true, especially when being compared to Liu Xiaosheng, Guo Xiang, and the two brothers of the Zhang family, I was nowhere near them in terms of appearance and demeanor. So it was understandable why she would feel disappointed.
“You are flattering me. I don’t deserve the hero title. Without me, he would still be saved. Your father is a lucky man. Hehe.”
Li Song smiled and said, “You are very humble and funny.”
“Thank you for your compliment. I- Ow!” Seeing me smile at Li Song while talking to her, the bratty girl Chu Yuan pinched my waist all of sudden. Only until this moment did I notice that the faces of Liusu, Shu Tong, and Dong Xiaoye, were full of dissatisfaction.
I quickly concealed my embarrassment with a dry cough and then said to Liu Xiaosheng, “I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang here…” If I knew I would meet you in advance, I definitely wouldn’t have come here.
Like Liu Xiaosheng, Zhang Mingjie was also a little flustered at first because he thought that Mo Fei was there. The relationship between Mo Yizhi and Zhang Li was more sensitive. Even if he accidentally interrupted Mo Fei’s dinner, he still didn’t want Mo Fei to see that he was with Liu Xiaosheng lest there would be some misunderstanding. After realizing that Mo Fei was not with me, he was relieved. “Hehe, actually, we are here to hunt wild animals.”
Men had an innate yearning for guns. When Min Rou mentioned hunting just now, Father Shu already showed great interest. After the alcohol went to his head, he no longer held back his interests and asked with excitement, “Hunting wild boars?”
“No, hunting wild boars is not fun at all. We want to hunt more fierce animals.” Liu Xiaosheng shook his head and waved his hands arrogantly. “Our targets are not wild boars, but wolves.”
“Wolf?!” I almost gasped in shock. Was this Moon Valley a zoo? How come there were wolves here?
Liu Xiaosheng clearly enjoyed the fearful expressions of women in the room, he added a piece of even more scary information, “This is one of the most exciting games in Moon Valley. They would release the wolves that have been hungry for two days into the hunting park, so you don’t need to worry that they will not take the initiative to attack humans.”
Mother Shu asked in fear, “Isn’t that dangerous?”
“What’s fun about unilateral slaughtering?” Li Song was polite to me, but she clearly looked down on other people in the room. “Only people who have no courage would think that it is dangerous. But to us, it is an exciting and thrilling experience.” She said disdainfully.
I didn’t think that Li Song was deliberately targeting us. She was probably just a girl who had been spoiled since childhood and didn’t know how to behave humbly in front of other people. However, her words gave Liu Xiaosheng an idea. Looking at our expression, he suddenly said, “Mr. Chu, would you like to join our little hunting game?”
Was this guy serious? Why would I join their stupid hunting game? Not to mention that it was to hunt wolves. Just as I was about to politely refuse, Chu Yuan pulled my cuff and said while pouting her mouth, “Elder Brother, you haven’t recovered from your leg injury. So don’t do it.”
My dear little sister was really smart! I was so moved that I almost wanted to hug her and kiss her on the spot. She had just helped me to find a perfect excuse. It was not because I didn’t want to join them, but because I hadn’t recovered from my injury. But before I could smile, I heard Father Shu said loudly, “I’ll go. Wild boars and wolves are the same, they are all animals. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Everyone was dazed for a moment. Seeing that Father Shu was glaring at Li Song’s contemptuous gaze with a pair of bleary eyes, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was definitely drunk.
Just when I wanted to persuade Father Shu, Dong Xiaoye also said, “I’ll go too!” She could no longer hold back her anger when she heard the other woman say that she had no courage.
Liu Xiaosheng did not recognize her, but Zhang Mingjie did, “You are…”
“His younger cousin!” Sister Tiger pointed at me and said. Then she sneered at Liu Xiaosheng and Li Song, “What? Women can’t join your little hunting game?”
Originally, I thought Sister Tiger was drunk as well, but after I noticed that her eyes were very clear, and she suddenly interrupted Zhang Mingjie, I knew that she was not provoked by Liu Xiaosheng. She had other plans.
“Tianhe, stop making trouble. You may not be scared of those animals, but have you thought of Little Chu? What if he was bitten?”
Grandma Shu’s words were even more provocative than Li Song’s words. I could only chuckle bitterly and said, “Uncle, you’ve drunk a lot of alcohol today, so…”
“What’s wrong with drinking a lot of alcohol? I can still kill a wolf even if I’m drunk!” Father Shu rolled up his sleeves and said. “Even a little girl like her is not scared of it, why would I be scared of it? Xiao Chu, don’t worry, I will protect you.”
Mother Shu was still worried. She couldn’t help but say, “Protect him? Do you realize how old you are now? You don’t mind getting yourself killed, but have you thought about our daughter? What if something happened to Xiao Chu, do you want her to become a widow?”
Shu Tong felt so embarrassed that she couldn’t help but blurt out, “Mom, what are you talking about?”
“Mom?” A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Xiaosheng’s face, and my heart instantly sank.
