Chapter 342: Chapter 343 Digging My Own Grave
Actually, even if I didn’t swear, as long as Chu Yuan was staying in the flat with me, I would not be able to kick Dongfang out. Dongfang Lianren should know this very clearly, so I felt a little puzzled when she wanted me to swear. I always felt that she was deliberately changing the topic.
Although I believed that she was doing it deliberately, I couldn’t deny the fact that it was indeed very successful. The reason was that Dong Xiaoye became very angry.
“Who was playing dirty?” Dong Xiaoye knew what I was referring to, so her face blushed with embarra.s.sment.
“You didn’t? Then starting tonight, you need to wash my feet.” Compared to the depressed mood of Dongfang, I cared more about the things that made me depressed.
“Why? You broke the rule first!” I didn’t understand how she was able to say such unreasonable things confidently.
“Nan Nan, how can you make such a shameless request? What did Sister Xiaoye do to you that you are always giving her an att.i.tude?” Liusu, who didn’t know what happened, naturally sided with Dong Xiaoye.
“I’m giving her an att.i.tude? She is giving me an att.i.tude, alright?” Not to mention that the att.i.tude she showed towards me today was very bad; just last night, she had obviously lost the bet, but she refused to admit it. She said that she screamed because my gaze was very lecherous, and it was not that she was not tight-lipped.
Moreover, because she didn’t have a boyfriend, and she couldn’t feel the pressure that she should have, she thought that it was not worth it, and there was no need for her to make sacrifices for the love that did not even exist. And then she accused me of breaking the rules, saying that I had already known about this but I still tricked her into agreeing to make a bet with me.
What was worse was that she even said that although the bet was no longer valid, because I broke the rule, I still needed to be punished. And the punishment was to wash their feet for a week. So how could I not have any resentment?
Chu Yuan could also tell that I was doing it deliberately to retaliate against Dong Xiaoye. She couldn’t help but giggle, her originally tense nerve became relaxed, “Elder Brother, you are really petty-minded. You are a man, can you at least show a little gentleman demeanor? What’s wrong with washing feet for three girls?”
“What’s wrong with it? It’s humiliating!” I said in a bad mood and then thought about it. In order to cheer Chu Yuan up, I stroked her head and said seriously, “You are different. You are my younger sister. Not to mention one week, I would have no problem washing your feet for a lifetime. That’s something that I’m willing to do, and I’m happy to do it. But why should I serve her? She was obviously playing dirty, but she forced me to wash her feet… Fine, if you don’t want to call me Elder Brother, remit the punishment of washing your feet, then I will swear to Dongfang.”
“Elder Sister Xiaoye, you won’t lose anything if you call him Elder Brother Nan, and you can also save me, I’m begging you, please…” I didn’t know if Dongfang little brat heard what I said clearly. Obviously, I said that as long as she could remit the punishment, I would swear to her, but why would she insist on asking Dong Xiaoye to call me Elder Brother?
“Washing your feet?” Liusu finally realized why I was giving Dong Xiaoye an att.i.tude. She looked at me who was full of resentment and was dazed for a moment. After a moment of silence, she suddenly burst out laughing.
Even Dong Xiaoye whose face was livid also couldn’t help herself but laugh after hearing Liusu’s laugher. Looking at Chu Yuan, whose face turned red for no reason, she suddenly asked me, “You mean, as long as I call you Elder Brother, you will be happy to wash my feet?”
From what I knew about Dong Xiaoye, she who was arrogant definitely would not call me ‘Elder Brother’, so even though her laugh scared me a little, I still treated it as her bluff. She definitely wanted to trick me. So I would definitely not be fooled by her!
I firmly said, “Yes!”
“Okay!” Dong Xiaoye took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, but said to me in a very low voice, “Elder… Brother…” (Note. Girls sometimes call their boyfriend Elder Brother in China. It is just like some girls call their boyfriend daddy when doing that thing.)
I was stunned, “You…. really called?”
“Yes, I called.”
“Why would you call me that?”
“Why wouldn’t I call you that?” Dong Xiaoye’s face was extremely red. While feeling embarra.s.sed, she said triumphantly. “If I call you that, not only does it make me look younger, but someone would also wash my feet for me, this is a great deal, who wouldn’t do it?”
This woman actually believed that calling me “Elder Brother” would make her look younger?
“You… don’t you think you are deceiving yourself? I was born two or three years later than you. This is an unchangeable fact. Even if you call me Elder Brother, you will not be young…”
I was caught off guard by Dong Xiaoye’s unexpected response, so I made a terrible mistake to mention Dong Xiaoye’s age. What Dong Xiaoye was most sensitive about was her age. As if I had touched her sore spot, she suddenly replied in a huff, “I like to deceive myself, it is none of your business! ! So what if you are younger? Can’t I call your Elder Brother? I will just call you Elder Brother! Elder Brother! ! Elder Brother! ! You said yourself that you are willing to wash your younger sister’s feet for a lifetime. So from today, I will be your younger sister. Didn’t you say that you don’t like me calling you Little Chu? Then I will stop calling you that, I’ll just call you ‘Elder Brother’ from now on. I don’t even care anymore. Aren’t you a big man? Then don’t go back on your words if you are a big man! Starting tonight, you need to wash my feet!”
I was shocked, “Are you serious? I was just joking. ”
“Sure!” Dong Xiaoye clearly didn’t want to let this go easily, “As long as you admit that you are not a man! I will treat it as a joke.”
“I—” There was no way I would admit that I was not a man.
Seeing Chu Yuan, Liusu, including Dongfang who was originally acting very strange, all held their bellies, rolling on the ground laughing, I almost wanted to die. I had dug my own grave, and now I needed to bury myself in it.
‘G.o.d d.a.m.n it! I really don’t understand how women think!’
. . .
In the evening, I returned to the Shangri-La Hotel with Liusu after I “got off work”. I wanted to take Shu Tong’s parents out for dinner. But I was afraid that Shu Tong’s parents would misunderstand our relationship. So we discussed it in the elevator and agreed that we would meet downstairs…
I finally understood a little why Shu Tong didn’t tell her parents about my relationship with Liusu, a man with two women who were siblings… It would really give people a strange feeling.
After I rang the doorbell of the room, the person who opened the door was not Shu Tong, but Min Rou!
“What are you doing here? ”
“I need to be here.” Min Rou smiled. Her smile was no longer that pretentious. To be precise, she still loved to smile, but it was no longer a sweet smile, but a sly smile. She then said loudly, “Isn’t it Mr. Chu’s idea to ask me to come over?”
“I asked you to come here?”
“Little girl, is Little Chu here?” The old woman’s voice still seemed to be tired, but there was a trace of excitement in it.
“Yes.” Min Rou winked her big eyes at me, shrugging her shoulders provocatively. It was very cute, but I really wanted to punch her in the face.
Only until now did I realize that the words she said were for other people in the room.
“Little Chu, why did you waste so much money for us? Why did you buy so many things.” The old woman was leaning on the headboard. When she saw me, she reprimanded me in a soft tone. And I was completely stunned…
It was just changing a set of clothes, but Shu Tong’s parents’ appearances changed drastically. I almost didn’t recognize them. If I had to use a word to describe what they looked like before, I would choose the impolite word “dowdy”. But now, I had to replace it with the word ‘fashionable’! So it was true clothes make the man. This change was simply earth-shaking!
The simple and honest father Shu put on a white shirt, a black casual suit jacket, a pair of loose blue jeans, and a pair of white shoes. He who didn’t wear gla.s.ses even had a pair of currently very popular non-lens black-framed gla.s.ses on his nose bridge. In the morning, I still felt that his stubble was a little long and his hair was a bit disheveled. But at the moment, with this simple and fashionable outfit, he looked like an artist.
And Shu Tong’s mother dressed up like a very wealthy lady. She looked elegant and graceful. She who was sitting at the dressing table was very embarra.s.sed when she saw me.
I didn’t deny that I was taken aback by her look because the foundation on her face was half applied; the white powder concealed her healthy complexion. She looked like Miss Sadako who came out of the mirror… making me not daring to look her in the face directly.
Seeing many bags of different sizes on the bed, as well as the various cosmetics and perfumes on the dressing table, I almost wanted to cry… Armani, Chanel, and the bottle of cream that Shu Tong was holding in her hand was most likely Lamer, the most expensive cream in the world. I remembered that when I asked Song Jia about Mo Fei’s information in the past, she tried to blackmail me to buy her a bottle of that, but when I checked the price on the Internet, I had a mental breakdown… That thing was expensive as h.e.l.l.
Since face creams were so expensive, probably other cosmetics that didn’t even have a Chinese character would not be cheap goods. Plus a bunch of other designer clothes and footwear… This was definitely Min Rou’s revenge!
Sure enough, Mother Shu said, “Xiao Chu, these clothes are very beautiful, but aren’t they expensive?”
‘Of course they are expensive!’ I really wished I could tell them that, but…
“It’s not expensive,” Min Rou clearly wanted to make me angry. She was a devil but smiled like an angel. “Our company has its own shopping mall. These clothes, shoes and socks, and cosmetics are all brought from the mall. The cost of them is several times cheaper than the market price.”
