Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 294: Chapter 295 The Long Family’s Trick

I frowned and struggled for a long time before I took out the phone from my pocket. While scrolling through the contact list, I curiously asked Dongfang little brat, “Do you know the Long family?”

“I don’t know any family that is both brainless and tasteless,” Dongfang said with disdain, then stared at my thigh, and asked, “Elder Brother Nan, is your leg injury serious? Does it still hurt now?”

The reason why I only leaned against the table and didn’t sit down was that I was scared of bending my leg; it would cause a lot of pain. But when I heard Dongfang Lianren ask this, I was surprised, “how did you know that I was injured?”

“How can I not know about it?” Dongfang Lianren said in a mocking tone, “as soon as Yuan Yuan saw me today, he told me everything about you. You were really brave, Elder Brother Nan. I still have a hard time believing that you really did it.”

It was not that she had a hard time believing it, she totally didn’t believe me at all! From Dongfang’s expression, I knew that Chu Yuan must have exaggerated what had happened when bragging about what I had actually done. Dongfang was no ordinary little brat. It would only be strange if she couldn’t tell that Chu Yuan was exaggerating the story.

I didn’t deny it, and turned to Dong Xiaoye, “just like Dongfang said. It is just an apology, but to build a new school because of it, Xiaoye, don’t you feel strange?”

“Didn’t I say it already? I also find it strange, that’s why I wanted to discuss it with you first,” Dong Xiaoye said, “they explained the reason to me, but how do I know if you find it was acceptable or not. Captain Lin also asked me to ask your opinion. After all, you are all in the same circle, and the Long Family and the Mo Family have some personal relationships, so you should know something about them…”

It turned out that they wanted me to ask the Mo family. Lin Zhi, this old sly fox… He must have misunderstood the relationship between me and Mo Fei, thinking that the Long family was trying to get some information about the Mo family through me…

I found the phone number I was looking for, but I didn’t dial it immediately. “What did Long Yifan say?” I asked.

Even if it was building a new school, Dong Xiaoye wouldn’t fall for Long Yifan’s trap easily, so Long Yifan must have given her a good enough reason to convince her to talk and discuss it with me.

Sure enough, after hearing what I said, Dong Xiaoye said, “he said that what had happened in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was all caused by his father’s stubbornness, and the Long family indeed needs to take full responsibility. He also said that he didn’t know that Qiao Mei had secretly filed a complaint against us. Otherwise, he would have definitely stopped it. He even said that he originally wanted to thank you in person after he settled his father’s funeral matter. He said that whether it is about business or privately, he wants to form a friendly relationship with you, so he hoped that you could accept his apology…”

“Why?” I was puzzled.

Chu Yuan, who came out from the kitchen carrying food, also heard the conversation we had just now, and said in a sulky tone, “if it weren’t for my elder brother, many people would have been killed. Do they think an apology and meal can buy my elder brother’s forgiveness? And that can heal my elder brother’s leg injury? They wish!”

Chu Yuan’s attitude made Dong Xiaoye, who came to be a peacemaker, somewhat embarrassed. “There is also a new school…” She said guiltily in a low voice.

“Even with that, it still won’t be able to heal my elder brother’s injury!” Chu Yuan heavily put the bowls on the table, frightening the hungry Dongfang Lianren who was drooling because of hunger, “my brother almost lost his life and saved so many people, but they actually filed a complaint against him…”

Dong Xiaoye corrected and said, “it was his younger brother and younger sister-in-law who did it. Long Yifan didn’t know about it…”

“It would be a wonder if I believe it!” Chu Yuan snorted coldly, “They are a family, not to mention my elder brother, but they also targeted Elder Sister Xiaoye, you as well, and caused a lot of trouble to you in the police station. Even if Long Zili didn’t tell Long Yifan about what he did, did that Long Yifan really didn’t know anything about what his younger brother did? There was no reason that the police wouldn’t inform him about it, right?”

What Chu Yuan said was completely reasonable, making Dong Xiaoye unable to refute her. I could see that Dong Xiaoye’s mind was also wavering. She didn’t believe Long Yifan, she just forced herself not to think too much about it. She also didn’t want those promises that Long Yifan made. But she was willing to give up her principles so that those poor children in the school could have a better learning environment…

If I were in her shoes, I believed that I would make the same decision as well.

“Compared with that leader gunman, what the Long family did is even more despicable and shameless. Who wants to be friends with them?” Chu Yuan handed the spoon to Dongfang, muttering to herself. Seeing that she was looking at me with her big bright eyes, I knew that she was saying those words to me.

“You haven’t said why they want to befriend me,” I signaled Chu Yuan not to interrupt Dong Xiaoye with my eyes, and then smiled at Dong Xiaoye, “that’s what made you come here, right?”

“He said that after this incident, the Long Family’s reputation and credibility have hit rock bottom, so they must do something that can help them to save their family’s image, such as… doing charity work and building a school, etc.” Dong Xiaoye replied dispiritedly.

Because of what Chu Yuan said, she had lost all her confidence in persuading me, “they know that we are friends, and they know that Sister Danchen’s school is in trouble, so they think this is the best opportunity. He didn’t deny that he is doing it to please you, the hero who saved everyone’s lives… To put it bluntly, all the people who want to cause trouble to the Long family owe you a great favor. As long as they have a good relationship with you, those people will not give the Long family a hard time. It is not even exaggerated to say as long as you are willing to say a few good words about the Long family, they will be able to get through this crisis easily…”

“So kill two birds with one stone? Building a new school is to restore the reputation, but also to bribe my elder brother?” Chu Yuan said sharply and disdainfully, “to put it bluntly, they just want to use my brother as a shield.”

“It is to kill three birds with one stone…” Dongfang Lianren gulped down a large bowl of preserved egg porridge, wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and corrected Chu Yuan, “Since the Long Family thinks that Elder Brother Nan’s words are that useful, then it means that they also know that if Elder Brother Nan wants to ruin them, he can also easily do it. There were so many people in the manor that night, there is no way they will be able to hide it from the public very long. Once the media know about the existence of Elder Brother Nan, they will definitely want to interview him, and as long as he says a few bad words about them, then their family’s image will be completely ruined. They might be able to stop TV channels, and newspapers from publishing it, but there is no way they would be able to stop anything on the internet. In the age of the internet, there are no secrets at all, this is a simple truth.”

It was not difficult to understand this, but when I heard it from a sixteen years old little girl, Dong Xiaoye and I were both surprised.

“I won’t be fooled by Long Yifan. I don’t think he sincerely wants to befriend me,” I said lightly. “There were so many good people who had done many good things in the past, but none of them would be remembered by people for a long time. This is the current society. Even if I didn’t say anything, The Long family will still be criticized by the public. I will not be able to change anything. All I can do at most is to add salt to their injuries. Long Yifan definitely knew about this, this was probably the reason why he would allow his younger sister-in-law to stab me in the back. So there must be other reasons that would make him want to invite me.”

“Do you mean that he is doing this for other purposes?” Dong Xiaoye looked at me up and down, feeling very confused, “what else can they possibly can from you?”

I did not answer Dong Xiaoye but dialed the number I found on my contact list. I needed to verify this question with someone else.

“Hello, Little Chu? Hehe, I didn’t expect that you would call me so soon.” The phone was connected after a few beeps. It could be seen that she wasn’t expecting my call. “So? Have you changed your mind?”

“Secretary Long, you are really funny. I am a man of my words so I won’t change my mind.” I smiled, and then asked seriously, “I want to ask you and the chairman for advice.”

Yes, this call was made to Long Shan. The reason why I hesitated earlier was that I had just refused the other party’s earlier, but now I wanted to get something from them, so I felt a little bit embarrassed. But apart from them, no one else could answer the questions I had in my mind at the moment.

“Oh?” Long Shan smiled, “what’s it?”

I pushed the head of Chu Yuan, who had come forward to eavesdrop on my conversation with Long Shan, away with my hand, and asked, “I want to know if Long Corporate Group is one of Fengchang’s competitors in the cooperation project you talked about in the morning.”

The other side of the phone suddenly fell silent unexpectedly. I didn’t hear Long Shan’s answer for a long time. I couldn’t help but frowned and smiled bitterly, “Secretary Long, is it inconvenient to tell me?”

“Oh, no!” Long Shan’s reaction did not match her usual calmness. She was a little flustered and a little panicked, “Little Chu, The Long Family… Did they, they contact you?”
