Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me Chapter 233 - I'm sorry, it's okay

Chapter 233: Chapter 233 I’m sorry, it’s okay

I swallowed laboriously, “The Third Lady you mentioned, who exactly is she?”

“I don’t know, including the consortium behind her, they are like a mystery to us. There will be no more than ten people who have actually seen her in this venue. Probably even if she has walked through the crowd at this moment, no one would be able to recognize her,” Guo Xiang laughed, “In fact, it is still a question of whether she will show up tonight. Even if she really gives face to Long Xiaotian, with her character, she will never show up in front of others.”

“Since she won’t show up, why do you have to drag me here?” I smiled bitterly, “Besides, if she is really such an important person, do you think she will take the initiative to get to know me, a young man with no money, no power, and no job?”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Xing Yu said seriously, “A few days ago, my dad and my elder brother also mentioned this Third Lady, saying that she is a very strange person. She would rather take the initiative to invite beggars on the street to eat food from the food stalls than accepting people’s dinner invitations. My dad said that in the eyes of people of her level, there are no such things as lowliness and n.o.bles or rich and poor. They simply do things that would please them instead of seeking what kind of benefit they would get in return. He also reminded my elder brother not to be too attentive, worrying that it will arouse her disgust.”

“Your elder brother?”My brows twitched involuntarily, “Liu Xiaosheng? Is he here too?”

Although Liu Xingyu and Liu Xiaosheng were siblings, the degree of my friendliness toward them was like the difference between the South Pole and the North Pole. Even though I had deliberately controlled my expression, I knew very well that the disgust on my face has not been completely concealed.

“Mhm, my dad occasionally met the third lady on some occasions. He wanted to curry favor with her, but she ignored him. My dad is a male chauvinist. He could not stand being always treated coldly and ignored by a woman, Not to mention that, he has handed over the company to my elder brother now, so he… Let my elder brother come by himself…” Liu Xingyu cautiously glanced at Guo Xiang’s reaction.

Her sneak expression made her look like a little thief. I was a little confused. But Guo Xiang smiled freely and patted Xingyu’s shoulder as a sign of comfort. It seemed that the relations.h.i.+p between Guo Xiang and Liu Xiaosheng was really not good. Could it be that Xingyu did not tell Guo Xiang that Liu Xiaosheng would come to this birthday banquet?

“So, your elder brother also knows this third lady?” If this was the case, it proved that Guo Xiang and Xingyu would have a lot of obstacles in the future. After all, Guo Xiang would rather pin that hope on me than try to ask the Liu family to introduce him to the third lady…

“He has probably seen her twice, but he has never had a chance to talk to her, so it doesn’t really count as he knows her,” Xingyu sighed and said in a slightly pleading tone, “Elder Brother Nan, previously my brother thought that you and he were rivals in love, so you had some misunderstandings with each other. In case you happen to meet him later, for the sake of me, could you not give him a hard time?”

I and Liu Xiaosheng had a conflict because he cheated on Liusu’s cousin Shu Tong. It was not caused by Mo Fei. But based on the fact that Xingyu didn’t know that her elder brother already had a girlfriend, I was even more sure that Liu Xiaosheng cheated on Shu Tong.

This girl. Even if her elder brother obstructed her relations.h.i.+p with Guo Xiang, she still couldn’t help but think about him. She was really overkind. However, I only smiled faintly, giving Xingyu a vague answer. Then I asked curiously, “Young Master Liu is also here for the third lady?”

I was not interested in this third lady. In fact, from Guo Xiang and Xingyu’s more slightly mischievous tone, I was pretty sure this couple also didn’t hold out much hope that the other party would take the initiative to know me. The reason why they deliberately say that the third lady wanted to know me was probably an excuse to drag me here.

Guo Xiang was just worried that I would not accept his kindness and refused to come to the party, so he ‘pleaded’ me with such an unrealistic reason.

He has already seen through what kind of person I was.

As expected, Guo Xiang clinked my gla.s.s and smiled leisurely, “Although the third lady owns up to seventy percent of Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, that is a business matter. As for her and Long Xiaotian’s personal relations.h.i.+p, no one knows it clearly. So whether she will come or not, everyone is just guessing. I dare not say that everyone is here for her. But most of the people who are attending this party are hoping to get to know her. Of course, everyone is just trying out their luck and they are not expecting too much. The same is true for me. After all, even if money can fall from the sky, there is no point to stare at the sky all day long. Seriously, hehe, Xiao Nan, just relax. Come, let me introduce some friends to you.”

As Guo Xiang said, he didn’t hold out much hope; it could even be said that he didn’t think he would be able to meet the third lady today. His ultimate goal has never changed- he simply wanted to recommend me to his friend, in order to return my kindness to help out his company.

“Ku’er, don’t run around!”

Just as I put the empty gla.s.s back on the tray of the waiter who happened to pa.s.s by, I heard a deliberately lowered hoa.r.s.e voice behind me. Before I looked back, I saw a small figure flas.h.i.+ng past quickly from the corner of my eye.

Xingyu screamed and staggered after the thin shadow b.u.mped into her. Although Guo Xiang quickly reacted and held her to prevent her from falling, all the orange juice in her gla.s.s was splashed all over my face.

“Elder Brother Nan, are you okay?” Xingyu did not care about the person who had b.u.mped into her and hurriedly wanted to take out a handkerchief and wipe my face. But after failing to find any pocket, she just realized that she was wearing an evening dress. She didn’t bring any handkerchief with her. The handkerchief was not found, but Xingyu was surprised to find that her white silk long-sleeved gloves were smeared with dirt.

Seeing that we both were bedraggled, Guo Xiang immediately said to the three people who had just appeared in a dissatisfied tone, “What is going on? Whose child is that?”

Although I didn’t see it clearly, I was sure that the person who b.u.mped into Xingyu just now was a skinny child who was only eight or nine years old at most. Moreover, the s.h.i.+rts and shorts the kid was wearing were not only sloppy but also very dirty.

The white-haired old woman dressed as a servant bowed to me in panic. Her voice was like her body, trembling violently, clearly showing her inner fear, “I’m sorry, sir, Ku’er didn’t do it on purpose…”

“It’s okay…” I hurriedly wiped a wet hand on my trousers and then went to help the old woman; but before I was able to stop her from bowing repeatedly, a middle-aged man who also wore a waiter uniform but obviously had a much higher rank than the old woman quickly blocked before me.

“Our distinguished guest, I’m extremely sorry, I’ll punish them for disrespecting you immediately,” after saying this, the middle-aged man suddenly turned around, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. Using the cold voice, he scolded the young man who hurriedly went to help the old woman who was almost pushed to the ground by him. “Why are you helping her? Go chase that kid!! If she would run around and offend other guests again, do you want to bear the consequences?!”

I frowned, the att.i.tude of this middle-aged man who looked like a butler really annoyed me. He was clearly bullying the weak, and it was very obvious that he pretended to be polite because he thought that we were very important guests.

The young man wearing a blue gardener’s ap.r.o.n was also dissatisfied with the bad att.i.tude of the butler, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. I believe that the butler-like man also saw it. However, he only snorted coldly and said, “What? Didn’t you hear what I said? Go get that little beast and lock her in the dog cage! Let me see if she dares to run around again.”

Hearing him speak so viciously, Guo Xiang and Xingyu couldn’t help expressing their dissatisfaction. Then I heard the young gardener saying, “Butler Gao, Ku’er is still a child. Locking her up in a…Isn’t it a bit too much?”

The old woman’s face instantly turned pale. She couldn’t help but burst into tears, pleading, “Butler Gao, please forgive Ku’er. Locking her up with those animals will scare her. Please have mercy…”

“Scare her? I told you to lock her in the house, but you still let her out!”

“I…” The old woman lowered her head subconsciously, hid half of the bread in her hand behind her, and said bitterly and timidly in a lower voice, “Ku’er was locked for a day without eating, I went to give her something to eat…”

The butler stared at her hand hidden behind her contemptuously, and said coldly, “You have to remember that it is the merciful master that you are able to have a place to live and food to eat. You should feel grateful. These gentlemen and young ladies are the honorable guests of the master, but their dresses have been soiled by the little beast. Don’t you think that she should be punished?”

The old woman seemed to be in poor health. After running a few steps, she was already out of breath. Hearing what the butler said, the half piece of the bread she had been holding fell to the ground. She broke away in horror from the young man who helped her and suddenly wanted to kneel down before me and Guo Xiang, “Sir, please forgive Ku’er, she really didn’t do it on purpose. I am begging you…”

“Please don’t.” I hurriedly stopped the old woman.

G.o.d d.a.m.n it. It was not that big of a deal, why would people make such a big fuss about it when it was related to someone rich?

“How many times have I warned you, don’t touch the distinguished guests with your dirty hands!”

The butler was very angry. He kicked the old woman’s thigh, causing her to fall to the ground. Seeing that he raised his foot and wanted to kick the old woman again, I was furious. While Guo Xiang and Xingyu were trying to help the old woman up, I slapped the butler with the back of my hand very hard and said angrily, “What the f.u.c.k are you doing?!”

….

Seeing that I slapped the butler, not only was the butler stunned, but all other people around us were also stunned
