Chapter 438 Elder Sister?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Sister Yuqiu, you lost,” A female clerk with a round face holding a teacup and chatting with others not far away proudly said: “What did I say? Apart from Ms. Mo, there is only one person who can walk to this office area without an appointment or the permission of Secretary Long without being stopped by the security, and this person is Chu Nan from the Investment Department. Hehe, you have to keep your promise and treat me to dinner tonight~”

I had seen this female clerk before. She seemed to be Long Shan’s assistant. Although she was a staff member, she was working directly under the chairman. The same as her position in the company, her salary was far more than mine.

The woman in red in front of me scolded with a chuckle, “You bratty girl, you are clearly cheating. It must not be the first time for him to come to this area. You must have seen him before, right? I was fooled by you.”

I didn’t know exactly what was going on, but I roughly guessed that I somehow became the object of their bet. The woman in red turned around and looked at me with ardent eyes, the words “curiosity” almost clearly engraved on her face. “So, you and your Ms. Mo are really… in that kind of relationship?”

What kind of relationship? I hurriedly clarified, “Miss, you must have misunderstood…”

The woman winked her eyes, tilted her head, and bit her fingers to make a cute look, “How do you know that I am a Miss? What if I’m not?”

Her words instantly caused another wave of laughter. Was this woman trying to tease me? And what she said just now was also very strange. Why did she say “Your Ms. Mo?”

I have never been a shy person. Although I’d never been in a relationship, it did not mean that I didn’t know how to deal with women. Being teased by a woman in public is a humiliation for any man. Since she made it clear that she was teasing me, I didn’t mind teasing her in return as well, “It depends on if you want to be one or not.”

“Of course I want to be… Oh, you rascal!” The woman called Yuqiu stretched out her hand and hit me on the shoulder lightly. “You actually dare to tease me.”

‘You were asking for me.’ I thought to myself and then decided to stop playing with her.

“What? Are you scared now? Why do you suddenly become so serious.” This woman was very sensitive to my reaction, but the curiosity in her eyes became stronger. “I have met with many women whom I can’t see through, but I haven’t met many men that are like that. No wonder people say that you are a strange man.”

“I’m a strange man?”

“Mhm,” the woman nodded seriously, “because I can’t see through what you are thinking now.”

In just a few words of exchange, I came to the conclusion that this was a narcissistic woman who liked to think that she was smart. I wasn’t interested in her, so naturally, she wouldn’t know what I was thinking. She was too confident in herself. She was probably just surprised that I didn’t show the enthusiastic expression that she had expected.

Sure enough, this woman stroked her chin and said what she had in her mind, “If it is an ordinary person, seeing a beautiful woman like me taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, they will definitely be flattered. However, you are too calm, so you are not an ordinary person. If you are an interesting or unfaithful man, you will pretend to be calm and ask me the purpose of talking to you. Maybe you will use this opportunity to get my contact information or something, but you are not interested in me at all. Instead, you now arouse my curiosity, so you are a strange man. I don’t know what you are thinking at all.”

‘What kind of bullshit theory is this? Does she really think that because she is beautiful, I have to be interested in her? I am already immune to beauties, alright.’

“I was thinking, when will you answer my question?”

“Question? Oh right, you want to know if Chairman Mo is in the office, right?” Only until now did the woman remember my question. “Yes, I will take you in.” She said enthusiastically.

After hearing what she said, the round-faced female clerk hurriedly got up and said, “Sister Yuqiu, this is inappropriate. I think we should notify Secretary Long first…”

“Isn’t she in there too? There is no need to walk in and out of the office just to ask for permission. Unless I’m not allowed to go into the office?”

The female clerk hurriedly said: “That’s not what I mean…”

“Then, it means that there is no problem, right?” Yuqiu grabbed my hand, showing an impatient look, “Let’s go.”

I was dragged by her by this all the way to the door of the chairman’s office. She knocked on the door twice and then opened the door without waiting for a response from the inside.

“Chairman Mo, Chu Nan from the investment department is looking for you~”

I regretted it as soon as I walked into the office. No wonder the round-faced female clerk was a little hesitant. It turned out that there was another person besides Long Shan in Mo Yizhi’s office! It must be Mo Yizhi’s guest. They were clearly in the middle of discussing something, but it was rudely interrupted by us. All of them fell into a daze. It was all this damn woman’s fault.

The so-called guest was a woman, and the reason why I believed that she was a guest was that she was drinking tea with Mo Yizhi.

The woman sitting on the sofa was wearing an off-white suit. Unlike the woman who dragged me into the office, the feeling this woman gave me was much more ‘conservative’. She didn’t wear any makeup, nor was she wearing any jewelry. Even her hairstyle didn’t seem to have been particularly touched up. She simply tied it into a ponytail. In addition, it was a hot day, but she was still wearing long trousers…

She was pretty, but slightly inferior compared with the bright and beautiful Yuqiu next to me. It was not that she was not as beautiful as Yuqiu, but… The feeling she gave to people could only be described as… ordinary.

Looking at her face, you will think that she is actually beautiful and impeccable, but closing your eyes, her perfect face will become blurred in your mind. It feels like we caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman on the street, but we will never be able to remember what she looks like afterward… This was the feeling she gave me. Because of this feeling, I began to doubt my own judgment. Was this woman in a suit really the guest of Mo Yizhi?

I didn’t know if it was an illusion. I had a strange feeling that I had met with her before. Maybe it was the ordinary feeling she gave me, it made her become more approachable.

It was undeniable that such a woman with an ordinary temperament but outstanding appearance could easily be liked by other people because she would not make people feel inferior.

Seeing her somewhat startled expression, Long Shan immediately scowled and scolded me, “Chu Nan, where are your manners?”

My manners? I looked down at Yuqiu’s hands that were still holding my wrist and smiled bitterly. No matter how people looked at it, I was dragged into the office by this woman, right? So why didn’t she scold her? Was this discrimination against men?

Fortunately, Yuqiu didn’t seem to want to avoid the responsibility, “Secretary Long, don’t blame him, it was me who dragged him in, hehe.”

Who was this woman really? How come she still dared to act so presumptuously in front of the chairman? This should be a privilege that was only exclusive to Mo Fei, right? Could this girl be Mo Yizhi’s illegitimate daughter? Mo Yizhi’s silent attitude made me wonder if this absurd speculation was actually true…

After finally recovering from her shock, the woman in the white suit finally stood up and said to Mo Yizhi: “Since Uncle Mo is busy, then I will leave first.”

She had a very nice voice, like a gurgling stream, gentle and clear. Her tone was not high, but each word was clear. She was clearly speaking, but it gave people a feeling of singing. Yuqiu was surprised when she heard what the woman said: “Elder Sister, we are leaving now?”

Elder Sister? I was dazed. Are those two women related?

The white-clothed woman rolled her eyes at her and didn’t say anything. Instead, Mo Yizhi stood up and smiled: “Alright, I heard that something happened in the investment department and there are police in the office now. So I need to find out what happened. I won’t be seeing you out of the building now, so I hope you don’t mind.”

“You are too polite, Uncle Mo,” The white-clothed woman smiled shyly, “I only hope you won’t feel annoyed. After all, I will need you to look after me in the future.”

Look after her in the future? Is she a relative of Mo Yizhi? Is she going to work in Fengchang as well? It seems like it… While waiting on the side, I couldn’t help but wonder.
