Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Miss Dongfang?!
Translator: Doggotranslation
In the hazy dream, I vaguely saw Liusu and Mo Fei gathered in the corner of Zhuoya Dumpling restaurant, whispering to each other. Carefully approaching, I still couldn’t hear what they were talking about. It was very frustrating.
What are they talking about? Why is Mo Fei inviting Liusu behind my back? Why would Liusu hide it from me?
I don’t know, so I want to know; I want to know, so I don’t know, even more, I don’t know how to ask Liusu.
“Ding Dong——”
The doorbell awakened me. I didn’t know if it was because I had already started to struggle in my dream, I sat up instantly from the ground. After a while, I gradually came back to my senses, then I felt that my ribs hurt. God Damnit. I got up too fast…
Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o’clock, and I actually slept for nearly two hours!
The visitor was the staff of the resort, and the quality of service was indeed really high. My clothes had been washed and ironed. The only annoying thing was that the shoes were still wet.
It was already time for dinner, but no one came to wake me up. I put on my clothes full of complaints and put on a pair of Geta. Just when I was about to go out to learn about the result of the game, I heard a voice coming from outside.
“It really is you, Miss Dongfang...”
“Huh?” I couldn’t help being dazed.
Curiously, I only opened the door slightly and peeked outside from the gap of the door, then I was shocked to find that the person standing at the door turned out to be the director who I had just met earlier! He was facing me diagonally with a slight bow, seemingly very respectful.
Then appeared Dongfang Lianren’s indifferent voice, “Oh? As I expected, you really recognized me. I seemed to have seen you at the family banquet last month. I really didn’t expect to meet someone I know here. Hmmm... What... what’s your name again?”
I am completely speechless, you don’t even remember the person’s name, and you even have the audacity to say that you know the person? But then again, what I felt earlier wasn’t an illusion, they really knew each other! I was quite curious. Although I knew it was impolite, I closed the door gently and continued to listen to the conversation secretly…
“My name is Tang Lian, I was fortunate to be invited to your family banquet for the first time last month. It is a great honor to be able to be remembered by miss.” If I did not personally hear him say it with such a humble tone, I would definitely think that someone was being sarcastic. But I am quite sure that he was flattered and overjoyed as if it was already a great glory that Dongfang Lianren could remember him.
Family Banquet? Who on earth is Dongfang? No, the question should be what is the background of this little girl? It seemed that being invited by her family was already a supreme honor...
“Oh, actually, I nearly forgot about you.” Dongfang Lianren’s attitude was definitely not polite, and it might be even worse than the way she spoke to passersby. “I attended the banquet last time was just merely a formality. But I didn’t expect that you can still recognize me.” Her tone was quite dissatisfied. Obviously, Dongfang brat was very annoyed by Tang Lian’s super memory. However, what she didn’t know was that the beauty mark under her eyes was very unique, and would leave a deep impression in people’s minds.
Tang Lian didn’t know what Dongfang Lianren was really thinking. Hearing what she said, he became very proud and immediately started to flatter Dongfang, “the beauty and temperament of miss are extraordinary and unforgettable, no one would...”
He was clearly a very old man, but he was trying to flatter a little girl. His skin was so thick that it completely amazed me. However, Dongfang seemed to be fed up with hearing those words repeatedly, she interrupted him and said, “you are the director of this resort?”
When she spoke, Dongfang Lianren had already walked outside the door, and then lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing me in the room.
“I dare not to call myself that way, in front of miss, I’m just a part-time worker, and it is all because of your family,” Tang Lian flattered without dignity: “How is master these days?”
Master? I was shocked then reacted. It must be the mother Dongfang Lianren.
“Very good,” Dongfang Lianren said lightly: “What are you doing here?”
“Oh, earlier on, there was an important guest here, so I didn’t have time... I know that miss is in this room, so I hurried here to greet miss...”
Dongfang Lianren’s voice immediately raised very high, “What? Have you been in there? Have you met the person inside?!”
Tang Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly said: “No, I was about to knock on the door, it just happened that Miss came back...”
“That’s good, remember, don’t tell my mother about me coming here, and from now on, just treat me as an ordinary guest, and pretend that you don’t know me,” Dongfang Lianren let out a sigh of relief. After she warned the man, she asked again, “Is there anything else?”
Tang Lian was clearly a director of this resort. However, at the moment, he acted like a lowly servant in front of Dongfang. He said obsequiously, “I’m about to invite the important guest to a meal. I don’t know if Miss could...”
Dongfang Lianren coldly interrupted: “No! The person you are inviting is your guest, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I’m just a high school student, and the family business has nothing to do with me. Do what you should do.”
Tang Lian hurriedly said: “Yes, yes.” His tone was filled with endless disappointment, but he no longer dared to say a few more words to persuade Dongfang Lianren. It was not difficult to see that he was very afraid of Dongfang Lianren, more precisely, her family.
I was even more curious. It seemed that Lv Siqi’s words were not groundless. Dongfang Lianren was indeed not an ordinary girl.
Just as I sneaked into the bathroom, I heard Dongfang Lianren shouting in the living room: “Elder Brother Nan? Elder Brother Nan!”
“Huh? Are you alone?” I walked out of the bathroom while holding my trousers, pretending that I didn’t know she was outside earlier.
“Mhm,” Dongfang didn’t like my behavior. She frowned at first, then sat on the pillow elegantly, pouting her mouth uninterestedly, and said, “There hasn’t been a winner for two hours, Yuanyuan and Sister Booby have extended the competition time. The boyfriend of the little nerdy teacher seems to be here. It seems that he is going to invite us to a meal, so I come back to call you first... The clothes are already dry? That was so fast.”
“Extend time?” I laughed and said, “What, you have already given up?”
Dongfang Lianren sighed unwillingly with resentment, “I really don’t know if those fish were deliberately against me or what, in two hours, I couldn’t even make them bite my bait once, let alone catch them... Since I know that I couldn’t win, I don’t want to keep doing it, that’s just not me. So I surrendered. Anyway, no matter who wins, I will not be the one who is in trouble. Hee hee.”
Who would have thought that an old man, a director of a company would be scared of this little girl who smiled like a child? What was even more unexpected was that this resort seemed to be one of her family’s business. The only thing I knew about Dongfang Lianren at the moment was that her family was not only selling seafood…
. . .
“Who won?”
When Dongfang Lianren and I returned to the lake, we just happened to see Chu Yuan and Xiao Yike walking towards us with buckets, Liusu acted like a big sister carrying fishing rods and folding stools for the two girls. However, this made her look like a nanny. I couldn’t help but think, don’t tell me that Chu Yuan really treats the future sister-in-law as a nanny?
Thinking of this, my old face became very hot, the future sister-in-law? Alas, Chu Nan, you’re so thick-skinned, Liusu hasn’t agreed to anything yet!
“Take a guess?”
Chu Yuan hopped over like a little bunny, and Dongfang Lian, who had just acted very arrogantly in front of Tang Lian, quickly walked toward Chu Yuan and helped Chu Yuan carry the bucket. The way she acted now was even more obsequiously than Tang Lian, “One, two, three... Six, wow~ Yuanyuan, you are so amazing, I just walked away for a while, you actually caught two more~!”
Just looking at Chu Yuan’s excitement, it was obvious that she was the winner. As expected, little minx said with a sad expression: “Six to five, I lost to luck!”
You lost to your impetuous heart! But I was still surprised. I didn’t expect that Chu Yuan, who fished for the first time, had a bumper harvest.
