Chapter 424: Chapter 425 Lv Siqi’s reminder

Other girls would feel proud when they were chased by boys, but my little sister treated those handsome boys like flies.

Alas, this bratty girl is so arrogant.

I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of boy was not a fly in her eyes.

Seeing Shu Tong follow us, I dismissed the idea of lecturing her and said, “We’ll talk about Dongfang Lianren’s matter later. Now you need to come with me to have lunch with Ms. Shu’s family. Remember, don’t make any silly mistakes, don’t ask me anything, and pay attention to my eye signals at all times.”

Chu Yuan was a little confused, “Elder Brother, what are you talking about? Eye signals? Your eyes always look sneaky. How would I know what you are going to tell me?”

“Sneaky?”

“Yes.” Shu Tong echoed, “You always look like a sneaky thief…”

“Fine then, I will be an honest guy and tell your parents the truth…”

Shu Tong was reduced to silence by me. Just as she was about to say something, I heard someone tremblingly call out, “Brother, Brother Nan?”

I turned my head and saw that it was actually Lv Siqi, who was regarded as a fly by Chu Yuan. To my surprise, he was in the same class as Chu Yuan.

“Lv Siqi, what are you doing out here when you are supposed to be in the classroom at this time?” Shu Tong thought that he had heard our conversation just now, so she showed fierce expression, however her fierce expression wasn’t intimidating at all.

“Ms. Shu, I have something to tell Brother Nan. I will go back to the classroom after I tell him.”

Lv Siqi was a famous troublemaker in the school. Last week, his parents were called to the school because he had a fight with his classmates. And it was because he was disrespectful to his parents in public that Shu Tong asked all the students to write an essay – ‘A Day in the Family’.

Seeing that he answered so obediently, even Shu Tong was slightly surprised.

I asked curiously, “What is it?”

Lv Siqi looked at Chu Yuan, then at Shu Tong, smiling a little awkwardly. I understood what he meant and said to Shu Tong, “Ms. Shu, you and Yuan Yuan can wait for me downstairs. I will be with you soon.”

Shu Tong frowned, but still nodded in response.

Chu Yuan didn’t understand why Lv Siqi wanted to talk to me. She glared at him, and then as if she was still worried, she whispered to me, “Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say, do you understand? Otherwise, you will be in big trouble!”

Was this a threat? I flicked the bratty girl’s forehead and said, “I got it, now go.”

Chu Yuan covered her forehead and left with Shu Tong while looking back from time to time.

“What is it that you want to tell me? You can tell me now”

Lv Siqi looked around to confirm that there was no one around, then approached me and asked in a low voice, “Brother Nan, have you heard about what happened to Dongfang Lianren?”

Was the thing he wanted to tell me related to Dongfang Lianren? I was curious.

“What happened to her?”

Lv Siqi smiled bitterly and shook his head. As if he was certain of something, he replied, “Brother Nan, there is no way you don’t know about what happened to her. Since you are pretending that you don’t know, it means that she is really staying with you…”

I didn’t want to deny it. In fact, I wished Lv Siqi would tell everyone that Dongfang Lianren was currently hiding at my flat. In that case, I would be able to meet with her mother sooner. However, because of Chu Yuan, there were some things I couldn’t say. “What exactly do you want to tell me?”

Lv Siqi also noticed that I didn’t deny it, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned unexpectedly and said, “Actually, I knew Dongfang Lianren came to the school to find Chu Yuan secretly that day. I accidentally saw them hiding in the car park behind the teaching building discussing something. I was quite shocked at that time. I didn’t expect to see Dongfang Lianren crying like that. Her clothes were very dirty and she looked like a refugee who had just escaped from some horrible places….”

I didn’t know what Dongfang’s mother was thinking. She didn’t seem to pressure the school to give out the information about the whereabouts of Dongfang.

The final exam was approaching, so the school was very sensitive about the topic that a student had run away from home and gone missing. After all, such a thing would be very likely to be deliberately misinterpreted by boring people or people with ulterior motives, which would create negative public opinions and harm the image of the school.

Moreover, the school seemed to be afraid of the social background of the Dongfang family, and did not dare to attribute the blame for Dongfang’s disappearance to the fact that her family had forced Dongfang to withdraw from school.

The school and the Dongfang family seemed to form a subtle tacit understanding. It was because of this that the school decided to remain silent, and not only did they not announce Dongfang’s withdrawal and disappearance for the time being, but the people in charge of the school also told the teachers who knew about what happened not to discuss anything about Dongfang’s matter. I heard all of these from Shu Tong, so apart from Chu Yuan, no one in the school knew what happened to Dongfang Lianren, including Lv Siqi, of course.

I asked unconcernedly, “Did you eavesdrop on their conversation?”

“No… no, I, yes, I heard it,” Lv Siqi probably thought that I was angry, so he explained hurriedly, “But I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on their conversation. I swear. I was just curious what would make an arrogant girl like her to cry like that.”

To put it bluntly, he got a sense of satisfaction to see her cry? From this, it could be seen how much Lv Siqi disliked Dongfang Lianren…

“Then did you secretly take a photo and kept it as a souvenir?”

“I wish I could… No, I mean, I would never do something like that!” Although Lv Siqi hurriedly changed it, he had already exposed what he really had in mind.

I couldn’t help but chuckle, “You don’t need to hide it. Anyway, what did you hear?”

Lv Siqi smiled and said, “It seems that I have heard all the important bits. Her family wants to send her to France, but she doesn’t want to go, so she ran away from home…”

“Who else have you spoken to about this?” I thought for a second and asked.

“I haven’t told anyone, including my best buddies,” Lv Siqi said proudly, “Later, the housekeeper from Dongfang Lianren’s family came to the school and asked me if I saw her and Chu Yuan. I lied to her that Chu Yuan took a sick leave and never came to school…”

Dongfang’s housekeeper? He was most likely talking about Zhen Nuo, but wasn’t she a nanny, why was she a housekeeper now?

The identity of Zhen Nuo was too mysterious, I didn’t want to spend too much time guessing something that I wasn’t sure about, so I asked Lv Siqi directly, “Why do you think that Dongfang is staying with me?”

Lv Siqi nodded, “Dongfang Lianren may look very outgoing, very lively, and has many friends, but there is only one person in the school that has a good relationship with her, and that person is Chu Yuan. She only trusts her. But Chu Yuan doesn’t have an ability to hide her, so the only person I can think of that would help her is…”

Me…

Surprisingly, this Lv Siqi kid was very smart. His thinking, logic, and analysis were all very clear.

“So are you going to tell Dongfang’s mother that her daughter is currently hiding in my home?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Why would I do that…” Lv Siqi smiled bitterly, “If I do that, I will definitely be hated by Chu Yuan…”

Hearing this, I couldn’t help but feel very strange, “Then why are you telling me this?”

Lv Siqi’s smile suddenly became stiff and a moment later, he said with a serious face, “Brother Nan, I just want to tell you that don’t go against the Dongfang family!”
