Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me Chapter 406 - The disharmony in the office

Chapter 406: Chapter 407 The disharmony in the office

Chapter 407 The disharmony in the office

Since Dongfang Lianren ran away from home and lived in my flat, it had been many days, but she never once stepped out of our flat. If this continues, she may indeed develop some kind of mental problem. Maybe this was also the reason why she was less energetic in the last few days. After all, everyone would eventually get bored watching TV or playing on the computer after eating all day every day. Not to mention that Dongfang little brat used to be a lively girl. How would she be able to stand this kind of life?

Thinking that she should indeed come out to have some fresh air, I agreed without any hesitation.

But then again, this would not solve the root of the problem. I couldn’t just let her stay in my flat forever. I had long wanted to talk to Dongfang little brat’s mother, but that little brat always found excuses to avoid giving me her mother’s contact number.

She said that she wanted to make her mother worry first, and then she would arrange for me to meet with her mother. Because she was supported by Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye, I couldn’t do anything to her. I was also very confused by the little brat mother’s inaction.

Was Dongfang really her mother’s biological daughter? If she was, then why was she not worried when her daughter had run away for so many days? No matter how busy her work was, finding her daughter should be the most important thing, right? Moreover, it was unlikely for Zhen Nuo to believe that Chu Yuan didn’t contact Dongfang, but that woman never came to my flat to inquire about the whereabouts of Dongfang again, which was very baffling.

Agreeing to let Dongfang come out of the flat and join the party was not a bad decision. It would be great if the people working for her mother could spot her. Then I would be able to meet with Dongfang’s mother and talk to her about Dongfang’s problem. I was not a nanny after all. Why did I have to take care of her daughter for her?

As soon as I walked back into the office of the general operation team, Gong Fanlin walked toward me and jokingly said, “Chu Nan, we thought you were going to run away, haha. By the way, who was the girl that was looking for you? Why was she crying? Don’t tell me that you actually did that thing to her…”

His face was full of envy, and his smile was full of ambiguous meaning. He didn’t say it directly, but his tone could already reveal what he meant clearly. Although Ziyuan, who was chatting with Yao Wan’er and Qin Lan, did not look back, I clearly saw her ears move. Of course, that might just be my illusion, but I was sure that she was as interested in this issue as everyone in the general operation team.

“Get lost, didn’t you see that she was with her boyfriend?” I held back my dissatisfaction and smiled coldly, “Don’t a.s.sume that everyone is as dirty as you. I helped them a small favor, so she specially came over to thank me. Earlier, I was invited to have tea with them.”

“The man is her boyfriend? I thought they were siblings…” Guo Xiang was seven or eight years older than Xingyu. He was too mature and stable, and she was weak and immature. They indeed looked more like siblings than lovers.

But Gong Fanlin didn’t seem to be interested in this. He changed his tone and asked, “What little favor can make a girl so moved that she cried like that? Could it be… That man couldn’t impregnate her, so he asked you for help?”

Gong Fanlin liked to make dirty jokes about men and women, but since the last time I had a fight with him, he was a little restrained whenever he was in front of me, and he no longer dared to make dirty jokes about Liusu when I was around. But this time, what he said was clearly beyond the limit I could endure.

I really treated Xingyu as my friend and even as my younger sister, so he was insulting my friend! Moreover, although the rumors about my womanizing nature had spread to every corner of the company, they were still unfounded. His joke now was clearly an insult to me.

I knew Gong Fanlin did it deliberately. He wanted to slander me in front of Ziyuan. There were more men in the office than women, so the compet.i.tion was fierce. This kind of seemingly harmless joke was actually very common. Once on sh.o.r.e, one prays no more. I had always been a people person, so Gong Fanlin seemed to have forgotten that I had beaten him before. Hearing that he was making this kind of slandering joke, everyone in the office was surprised.

Did I pretend to be a good guy for too long, so he thought that he could bully me? I smiled, stroked the head of Gong Fanlin who was taller than me, and said with a kind smile, “Your mother also asked me to impregnate her before, did you know that?”

I was known for having a good temper in the company, so hearing what I said, everyone’s jaw almost dropped to the ground. Originally, Brother Wei wanted to defend me, but after hearing what I said, he sat down laughing. Because he knew that if I stop pretending to be a good guy, no one would be able to bully me.

After Brother Wei laughed, Qin Lan burst out chuckling. Gong Fanlin often talked to other people behind her back about how flirtatious and promiscuous she was. He even told other people that she liked to seduce married men. Liusu did not like me to get too close to Qin Lan, more or less because she believed in Gong Fanlin’s words. Qin Lan knew about this, but because she didn’t have any evidence, she couldn’t do anything to him.

But what Gong Fanlin said was not all true. Qin Lan did indeed often get asked out to dinner by men, but which beautiful girl has never been asked out to dinner by men before? At most, she just didn’t refuse any invitation. Apart from saying that she wanted to find a rich husband, and she would not reject anyone with good potential, I had never seen her being close with any men.

I kept my distance from Qin Lan because I believed that she was the kind of woman who was very good at using her natural charm to control and play with men. She would make a man spend time and energy on her but get nothing in return. I didn’t know if she had a strong s.e.x drive, but I knew she had a strong material desire. She would rather eat only a bowl of rice for lunch every day, to save her salary to buy the clothes or cosmetics she liked.

My stepmother told me since I was a child that this kind of woman was dangerous, and I shouldn’t have a close relationship with this kind of woman. But this kind of woman who relied on herself to satisfy her selfish desires also proved that Gong Fanlin’s words were not true. Otherwise, she didn’t need to save money at all.

Seeing that Gong Fanlin was humiliated, if Qin Lan didn’t chuckle, she would feel sorry for herself. One of the characteristics of laughter was that it was contagious. As a result, everyone was affected, and soon, the room was full of laughter.

Gong Fanlin’s face was livid. He seemed to finally remember that I was not someone to be messed with, “Chu Nan, I was just joking, but isn’t your reaction a bit extreme?”

“I was also joking, so I hope you won’t mind it.” Thinking that Gong Fanlin always targeted Brother Wei, I didn’t think this joke was too much. Maybe it was also because I was in a terrible mood after discovering what Liu Xiaosheng did. But no matter what, Gong Fanlin could only blame himself for choosing the bad time to mess with me.

Although I was known for having a good temper in the company, I was the only person from the general operation team, who had a record of fighting with people in the company, and it was more than once… Old Black and Xiao Sun were scared that I and Gong Fanlin would start to fight each other, so they hurried over to smooth things over.

“Chu Nan, your joke is funnier, Haha Fanlin, who asked you to make fun of Chu Nan? Now you regret it, right?”

“Fanlin, in terms of humor, you are no way near Chu Nan, but in terms of alcohol tolerance, Chu Nan is no match for you, so you can get back at him by making him drink two more drinks tonight.”

Gong Fanlin knew that those two people were trying to help him to get out of the embarra.s.sment. He forced a smile on his face and said, “Two more drinks? That’s not enough, he has to drink at least one bottle of liquor.”

I didn’t like Gong Fanlin, but I didn’t want to give Xiao Sun and Old Black a hard time, so I ignored Gong Fanlin and walked toward Brother Wei, “Brother Wei, are you coming with us?”

There was one thing good about Brother Wei was that he would look after me. Knowing that I had low alcohol tolerance, he would often drink toasts on behalf of me at the company dinner or colleague gatherings.

Brother Wei was still laughing. Hearing what I said, he looked at Gong Fanlin provokingly and deliberately said in a loud voice, “Of course. Originally, I didn’t want to go, but now that I find out that my friend has a son, I have to celebrate it; lest his son would think that this uncle is not magnanimous. Hahaha…!”

I was speechless…

This was the bad thing about Brother Wei. If someone gave him an inch, he would take a mile… Everyone could tell that the words he said were aimed at Gong Fanlin. Elder Sister Liu frowned, Qin Lan shook her head, and Ziyuan and Yao Waner looked at each other, smiling helplessly. Gao Dahai also rubbed his temples, and then touched his balding head; he seemed to have lost a few hairs again…

The atmosphere of the general operation team was apparently the best amongst the six teams of the Investment Department. In fact, there was a very subtle reason for this kind of unity. Everyone was in a small group and the division of labor was clear, so there weren’t any special conflicts of interest. It was not that the personal relationships between colleagues were very good, but that there were few opportunities for conflicts. Of course, there was another reason, and that was- Mo Fei’s office was right next to the general operation team. Under her nose, who dared to cause trouble?

But now, this subtle balance seemed to begin to tilt. The arrival of Ziyuan has caused the men in the team to have the desire to “fight” each other…

Gong Fanlin was a man who cared a lot about his face. He could endure my insult because he had been beaten by me before, and secondly, I had a good relationship with many people, so he didn’t dare to mess with me. But it didn’t mean that he was scared of brother Wei.

Seeing that Brother Wei was making fun of him, Gong Fanlin could no longer hold back his anger. But just when he was about to say something, Song Jia appeared.

“Chu Nan, Ms. Mo is looking for you.”

The words “Ms. Mo” had a kind of deterrence, Gong Fanlin became like a deflated balloon, his anger disappeared without a trace. If he really had a fight with Brother Wei, he would probably be fired by Mo Fei.

After walking past Ziyuan’s side, she rolled her eyes and said with a helpless smile, “You are still so cruel-tongued, if Uncle Chu finds out about it, he will definitely smack you.”

“If you don’t tell him, how will he know?”

“How do you know that I’m not going to tell him?”

“If you have the heart to see me get hurt, I would’ve already been smacked by my old man many times before I even graduated from elementary school.” As soon as I said it, I almost wanted to smack my own face. It sounded like I was teasing her.
