Chapter 217: Little sister cares about elder brother

“It has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing to me?” I smiled bitterly and said honestly, “To tell you the truth, I resigned because of the personal conflict with Miss Mo, which has nothing to do with official business.”

“You don’t need to say those words to comfort us,” Guo Xiang looked at Xingyu whose face was filled with guilt, and said to me with a wry smile: “if it weren’t for us being long-tongued, you wouldn’t have lost your job. . .”

Wouldn’t have lost my job? I was very confused about what those two were saying, “Lao Guo, what do you mean by this?”

“Please don’t blame him,” Xingyu hurriedly said: “Elder Brother Nan, if you want to blame, please blame me. It was all my fault. . .”

“Xiao Nan, is it Xiao Guo? Why don’t you invite them in?”

My old man’s shout interrupted Xingyu. Guo Xiang patted the back of Xingyu’s hand to comfort her, then patted me on the shoulder again, and apologized: “The thing about you losing your job, Xingyu and I have direct responsibility. There may be some inside stories that you don’t know. I will tell you later. Originally, I planned to go to you after I visited the teacher today.”

I was very confused. Why did they say that they were responsible for me losing my job? Daring to take responsibility was a good thing, but why would they want to take responsibility for something that had nothing to do with them?

“Oh, by the way, my old man doesn’t know about my resignation. So please don’t tell him, lest he would worry about it.”

Guo Xiang and Xingyu were dazed a little, and then nodded in response.

…

My old man once joked that he wanted Chu Yuan to be Guo Xiang’s girlfriend. At that time, hearing that my old man couldn’t stop praising Chu Yuan, Guo Xiang only thought that my old man was exaggerating, and didn’t treat those words seriously. But after he saw my little sister in person this time, even if he was a gentleman, he was also dumbstruck by her cuteness. Seeing he was gawking at my little sister, I almost wanted to poke his eyes with chopsticks.

The same as me, Guo Xiang’s girlfriend was also displeased by Guo Xiang’s gaze.

In fact, I understood that no matter who it was, even if it was a woman when they looked at such a cute girl, they would inevitably want to look at her a few more times. Everyone liked pretty and cute things. This was just a normal reaction, and it was an expression of recognition, but it still displeased me.

I couldn’t tell when I started to have this kind of feeling.

But I just didn’t like Guo Xiang looking at Chu Yuan. Although I knew clearly, this feeling was definitely a dangerous signal. . .

Of course, Guo Xiang and Xingyu were not just looking at Chu Yuan. They were also looking at Dongfang little brat as well. When the two girls sat together, the visual shock they gave to other people was no less than seeing two angels.

“How is it, Xiao Guo, I wasn’t exaggerating, right? Is my daughter pretty and sensible?” My old man knew that the cooperation I had with Guo Xiang was successful, so he was in a great mood. Before drinking any alcohol, he already started to brag about Chu Yuan, like a drunk old man who was bragging about his daughter. Fortunately, with Xingyu sitting next to Guo Xiang, my old man didn’t mention wanting to match Guo Xiang up with Chu Yuan. I breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and the irritable feeling in my mind disappeared a lot.

My old man was clearly talking nonsense without blushing. Saying that Chu Yuan was beautiful, no one would dare to deny it, but saying that she was sensible. . . After I introduced them to Guo Xiang and Xingyu, this bratty girl only greeted them timidly and then hid in the kitchen with Dongfang. Until we sat around the table, they didn’t speak a word to the guests. So it was far-fetched to say that she was sensible. In terms of Dongfang Lianren, she was only a little better than Chu Yuan.

However, Guo Xiang naturally would not point it out. He just complimented, “no wonder people often say like father like son and like mother like daughter, the children of the excellent parents would naturally be excellent too.”

In just one sentence, Guo Xiang flattered our family to the utmost extent. From this, it could be clearly seen how great his talking skill was. But unfortunately, the four people he flattered were not happy at all. Instead, we felt rather awkward. My stepmother even glared at my old man. Chu Yuan also frowned, her expression was extremely complicated.

Seeing that we had different expressions, Guo Xiang of course would be confused. I also couldn’t help but sigh secretly. I knew that he didn’t do it on purpose. After all, he didn’t know the true situation of our family. If it was other families, this was undoubtedly a great compliment. But in our family, saying like father like son and like mother like daughter, would only point out that we were actually two families because my father was not Chu Yuan’s biological father, and my stepmother was not my biological mother. . .

My old man gave a dry cough and raised his glass to quickly cover the awkward expression, “Come, Xiao Guo, Xiao Nan, let’s drink. Hehe.”

Guo Xiang held up the glass in confusion, probably still wondering what he had accidentally said wrong. But just when I was about to lift my glass, Chu Yuan suddenly said: “you can’t drink!”

Everyone was taken aback. This was the first time that Chu Yuan took the initiative to speak after coming back from shopping. The little girl blushed and snatched my glass, and then handed me her own orange juice, “you drink this.”

I looked at everyone and chuckled bitterly: “Yuan Yuan, stop playing, how can I only drink orange juice when there are guests?” If it were other people, it might be easy to explain, but Guo Xiang knew that I could drink; so not drinking with him was obviously an inappropriate thing to do.

“Who is playing with you?” Chu Yuan said lightly, “You don’t know how to drink, so why force yourself?”

Sure enough, Guo Xiang said curiously: “really? Xiao Nan, Last time when you were drinking toast on behalf of miss Mo, you didn’t look like a person who didn’t know how to drink.”

My old man also laughed, “Yes, Yuan Yuan, your elder brother often drinks with me, it is not like you don’t know about it.” The way my old man talked to Chu Yuan was completely different from the way he normally talked to me. It was like he was talking to a little princess.

“He was forcing himself! Dad, you don’t know. Every time he drank alcohol, he would have a headache, but he never said it. Also, last time he got so drunk that he slept like a dead pig in the car. It was me and elder sister Mo who carried him back to the flat in the heavy rain. You didn’t see his miserable appearance the next day. He was like a critically ill patient who had just escaped from the hospital. Hum, if I hadn’t taken care of him, he would have really been sent to the hospital.” The more she talked, the angrier she was. In the end, she even secretly reached her little hand under the table and pinched my thigh fiercely.

After hearing this, my stepmother also showed a worried look. She looked at me and then looked at Chu Yuan again, gradually there was a faint smile and comfort in her eyes: “if that’s the case, then Xiao Nan, you should just listen to Yuan Yuan. You just drink the juice.”

“But. . .”

“There is no but.”

My stepmother didn’t care what my old man was going to say, so she just directly interrupted him and gave my old man a strange look. I didn’t understand what that look meant. But when the old man looked at Chu Yuan, he burst into a hearty laugh and asked Guo Xiang, “Xiao Guo, you wouldn’t mind it, right? My son is really afraid of his little sister. If you want him to drink, you have to find a way to persuade Yuan Yuan first.”

My old man said those words with a teasing tone. It was so obvious that Chu Yuan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. To vent her embarrassment, she pinched my thigh even harder. It was so painful that I had to grab her hand to stop her.

The moment my hand grabbed Chu Yuan’s hand, her body trembled, and her face became even redder. Although she no longer used much strength, she still didn’t move her hand back. I didn’t dare to let go of her hand at all, I was so worried that the moment I let go of her hand, she would instantly increase her strength.

“I don’t think Xiao Nan is afraid of Xiao Yuan. He definitely cares a lot about her.” Guo Xiang said with a smile: “Just like Xiao Yuan cares a lot about her elder brother. It is very rare to see siblings that can get along this well.”

Guo Xiang’s words even made my face flushed red, let alone Chu Yuan. I lightly patted the back of Chu Yuan’s hand, raised a glass, and smiled at Guo Xiang, “Thank you, Lao Guo, for being reasonable, hehe, in that case, I will use this juice in place of wine to toast you a cup.”

Only then did Chu Yuan let go of her hand, and muttered, “It was you who said that you wanted to give up drinking alcohol.”

Although her voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly. And when they saw Chu Yuan looked like a little housewife, all of them could not help but burst out laughing. I felt so embarrassed. I actually looked like a henpecked husband in front of guests. Just when I wanted to say a few words to save my image, a sudden sharp pain appeared on my calf. It felt someone just hit me with a hammer. Then I realized that it was Dongfang brat, who was sitting in front of me, suddenly kicked me fiercely.

“Elder Brother Nan is always a man of his word, right? I am so envious. Yuan Yuan, I also want to have such a good elder brother, a brother who can keep his words, keep his words, keep his words.” Dongfang brat said “keep his words” three times in a row, and every time she said it, she would kick me. I could only endure the pain and smile bitterly. This bratty girl was not only jealous that Chu Yuan cared about me, but she also insinuated that last time I didn’t keep my promise and told Chu Yuan that she had called me to confirm if Chu Yuan had really lost her first kiss to me.

‘I will endure! I am a man, so I will endure!’

“Little Dongfang, if you want, Yuan Yuan’s elder brother can also be your elder brother.” My stepmother really liked Dongfang brat. She even sold me without hesitation, “If he dares to neglect you, I will definitely help you to punish him.” As soon as she finished, she even raised her fists at me very childishly. Seeing her such childish behavior, Xingyu burst out giggling.

Chu Yuan couldn’t wait for my relationship with Dongfang to become closer, so she hurriedly said: “Yes, Dongfang, my elder brother actually also cares a lot about you. If I did something wrong, he would beat and scold me, but when you did something wrong, he never did those things. See how tolerant he was toward you?”

Chu Yuan’s words scared me into breaking out in a cold sweat. This girl not only alluded to the incident that Dongfang brat had tricked Lv Siqi into beating me up but she also indirectly complained that I had punished her in the past. Fortunately, my parents thought she was just joking and didn’t take it seriously. On the contrary, they were very pleased to see that Chu Yuan, who was introverted, could talk like this.

Dongfang Lianren had already made up her mind to please my stepmother. So when she heard my stepmother say this, she immediately nodded obediently and looked at me, this “elder brother” shyly. Just one glance, all my hairs stood on end.

Guo Xiang and Xingyu were also pleased to see the harmonious atmosphere in our family.

When our laughter finally subsided, Xingyu sighed slightly, looked at me, and said dispiritedly, “If only my elder brother could be as caring and as gentle as elder brother Nan…” Her tone didn’t sound like joking, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, which made me dazed for a moment.

Guo Xiang lightly embraced Xingyu in his arms and sighed with the same sad tone. My parents and I all felt those two must have remembered something sad, but Chu Yuan and Dongfang didn’t understand anything. Seeing that I was staring at the other girl, they looked at each other for a second, and then one started to pinch my thigh and the other started to kick my leg. Looking at their expression, it was as if they wanted to trample me under the table fiercely.

Oh, come on. The other girl was my brother’s girlfriend, alright? Besides, I was not interested in milfs!

It was really weird. Why would they get jealous over this? Could it be that Dongfang really wanted to be Chu Yuan’s elder sister-in-law?

In the pain, I couldn’t help laughing and scolding myself for having such a shameless thought.
