Chapter 1239: The Questions that Had Been Asked
Dong Lijia glanced at Luo, then at Deng Chenfei. Then, he looked at them both and said, “Would you guys believe me if I told you the truth?”
Luo Yuanjun made eye-contact with Deng Chenfei, then said, “Of course! I just want to know what made you guys sell the huge group company of yours! Has someone been threatening you? Is there a serious problem with the company? Why did you sell all the stocks? Don’t tell me the company is dying.”
Deng Chenfei looked around, then blinked and said, “All the valuable things in your house are gone. What’s going on? Are you going to run?”
He looked around the living room carefully. The house used to be decorated with some really valuable art pieces, antiques, and other objects. Now, it was almost empty. Except for some furniture pieces, nothing valuable could be found in the living room. The place even looked larger than before.
On hearing Deng Chenfei’s words, Luo Yuanjun paused briefly with surprise, then started paying attention to the house. After taking a glance around, he gave a start and said, “No way! Are you guys going to run away? What kind of crisis made you sell out all your stocks and everything in your house? You didn’t sell your little wife too, did you…”
Dong Lijia sighed as he raised a hand to stop him from keep imagining. “It’s not like what you think. But… I have sold my little wife already indeed.”
Luo Yuanjun popped his eyes with disbelief and said, “It’s not like what I think? If it’s not like what I’m thinking! How could you possibly sell your beloved car! If you needed money, you could ask us for help! We’re like your brothers. We might not be rich enough to save your family company, but we would help you as much as we could. We can figure out something together. Isn’t that what friends do? Or, do you think that we’re the kind of friends that you can only have fun with?”
Deng Chenfei nodded with a serious look. He didn’t say a word, but he clearly agreed with Luo Yuanjun.
Seeing how agitated Luo Yuanjun was, Dong Lijia hurriedly put an arm around his neck and said to him, “I’ve told you, it’s not like what you think it is. The situation is probably worse than you imagined. You definitely can’t imagine it.”
On hearing that, Luo Yuanjun furrowed his eyebrows, then closed his eyes for a second. After that, he re-opened his eyes as he pointed at Dong Lijia and said, “Just tell me what happened.”
Dong Lijia looked at him, then at Deng Chenfei. Next, he walked to the couch and took a seat as he waved at the two, “Chenfei, do you remember the question I asked you at the beach?”
Deng Chenfei stopped short as he looked at him with slight confusion and asked, “The question you asked me… at the beach?”
Luo Yuanjun and Dong Lijia were both looking at him. Before Dong Lijia could say anything, the impatient Luo Yuanjun asked his own questions, “He asked you a question? What is it? Did he ask you that question when we were at the beach? Is that question special?”
Deng Chenfei spent some time thinking. Did Dong Lijia ask him a question a month ago at the beach? He had a good memory. He thought hard, then recalled that question Dong Lijia asked him when they were strolling on the beach.
Abruptly, he blinked his eyes as he stared at Dong Lijia and said, “That question? I thought it was a joke.”
Dong Lijia nodded as he gave an unconfident smile and said, “Would you think that I’m crazy if I told you it’s gonna happen for real?”
Once his voice faded, Deng Chenfei gawked at him with disbelief.
“What? What are you guys talking about? Chenfei, what question did he ask you?” Luo Yuanjun hurriedly urged Deng Chenfei to explain to him, as he didn’t even understand the conversation between Deng Chenfei and Dong Lijia.
Seeing Deng Chenfei stare at Dong Lijia as if the latter were crazy, he grew even more curious. He was so desperate to know the truth, and his curiosity was killing him by now.
“Oh, he asked me what would I do if the apocalypse happened someday. Then, he said it was just a joke. I asked him what kind of apocalypse it would be. Would it be a volcano eruption? Or a ma.s.sive earthquake? Or tsunami, or some other kind of natural disaster…” Deng Chenfei couldn’t finish his words.
“Huh? Apocalypse? What the h.e.l.l?” Luo Yuanjun was utterly confused. He didn’t understand why Dong Lijia asked a question like that. But in the next moment, an idea crossed his mind. He immediately turned to Dong Lijia and said, “You’re not gonna tell us that the question you asked Chenfei is gonna happen for real, are you?”
Under the gaze of the two who clearly didn’t want to believe him, Dong Lijia nodded helplessly.
“Are you okay? You didn’t lose your mind, did you?” Unlike Deng Chenfei, who was merely staring at Dong Lijia with disbelief, Luo Yuanjun said the words out loud. He widened his eyes so much in surprise that his eyeb.a.l.l.s even seemed to fall out of his face.
Dong Lijia spread his hands and said, “See, I’ve told you that you wouldn’t believe me. You wanted me to tell you the truth, and now you think I’m crazy. I really wish that I’m just crazy.”
After saying that, he gave a sigh, then leaned against the back of the couch and continued with, “When my sister comes downstairs, you’ll know who’s crazier.”
“They’re talking about you. Why do you mention me?” A silvery voice was heard from the upstairs.
The three turned to the stairs and saw a small-sized, adorable girl walk down the stairs with a bland face. She wore no expressions, but her voice sounded a little cold. Her words didn’t make the three react strongly, but her body shape did. Luo Yuanjun and Deng Chenfei both popped their eyes in shock. They stared straight at her as if she were a ghost.
“Oh my G.o.d! Dong Xinxin! Are you Dong Xinxin?” Luo Yuanjun sprung up and looked at Dong Xinxin, who had already lost over fifteen kilograms. She not only looked much slimmer than before, but also had full b.r.e.a.s.t.s, a beautiful waist, and straight legs… Those legs weren’t super slender though. Her face stayed round, but was much less fleshy than before.
Her face looked delicate and lovely. Her small size made her look like a cute little bird. Without seeing her chest, one might think that she was only about fourteen years old!
Luo Yuanjun was honestly dumbfounded, and so was Deng Chenfei. After all, they remembered Dong Xinxin as a very chubby girl, who looked literally like a ball.
As the boys were gawking at her, Dong Xinxin suddenly put on a frosty face and swiftly darted down the stairs. She rushed up to Luo Yuanjun and grasped a hand of his, then turned and bent over, putting forth her strength through her legs as she raised her round and strong hip.
“Ah!” In the next second, Luo Yuanjun was thrown to the other side of the tea-table.
