Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me Chapter 267 - Shu Tong

Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Shu Tong

“Can’t mention it?” Shu Tong was confused, “Why can’t they mention it? Shouldn’t this kind of good deeds be praised and promoted?”
Er. . . If she didn’t believe me, why did she say that I was doing the good deed? I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It turned out that it was not that she didn’t believe me, it was actually that she simply didn’t want to agree with me.
Dong Xiaoye smiled coldly, “It’s very simple. You just need to think about the identity of the hostages that were held yesterday, then you can understand why the media can’t mention Little Chu. . .”
After hearing what Dong Xiaoye said, Liusu and I both realized why at the same time, “afraid of losing face?”
“Mhm, probably those upper-class people are scared of losing their faces,” Mo Fei looked at me and said, “If the media reported on how Chu Nan refused to compromise with the gunmen and how bravely he resisted, it would indirectly reflect the cowardly attitude of those people at the time. Everyone would become Chu Nan’s foil. How would they accept this kind of thing? Therefore, there are only two possibilities for not mentioning it in the news. First, the media dare not mention it because they are afraid of offending those people, or they are probably worried about creating bad public opinion. After all, regardless of how rich and powerful they are, all the hostages were… body-searched and all the men’s trousers were even. . . stripped off. . .”
Mo Fei was a thin-skinned person, so when she mentioned those embarrassing details, she began to stammer. Then Dong Xiaoye helped her to finish what she wanted to say, “If Chu Nan’s name is mentioned, he will definitely become the focus of attention of the media. By then, these embarrassing things will definitely not be concealed. At least in the minds of those people, they didn’t think that Little Chu would protect their faces. He might even portray himself as a hero happily. Therefore, the second possibility that he is not mentioned in the news is that someone has put pressure on the media industry to not allow them to report the incident in detail, and they are not allowed to mention the word ‘Chu Nan’. No wonder even after the gunmen were subdued and some were even killed on the spot, the manor was still very chaotic last night. It turned out that they were busy arranging this kind of thing.”
It was very likely that Dong Xiaoye was stabbed in the back by those people who wanted to save their faces. So it was inevitable that the words she said contained a strong disgust. Although not all guests were like that, the number of guests that didn’t want to use their influence to prevent information from leaking out was very small. After all, public opinion could even affect the stocks of a listed company. Therefore, it was not uncommon for someone to be concerned whether they would become the focus of public opinion.
Did this count as I was being blacklisted by the media? I found it very interesting and didn’t really mind it that much. Actually, this was something exactly I wanted.
However, at the moment, I still underestimated how much those people were afraid of the public opinion. So much so that I was greatly surprised by something they did in the near future. But in terms of what it was, that was another story. . .
“Did those gunmen really strip all the hostages?”
As expected of a natural airhead, Shu Tong’s surprise seemed to have nothing to do with the question she started. Liusu couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for her.
Mo Fei also realized that there seemed to be a screw loose in this woman’s head, and hurriedly said embarrassedly, “When did I say everyone was stripped? Women were only body-searched, and only men’s trousers were stripped off. . .”
“So, you two were also body-searched by them?” At the moment, Shu Tong had a very gossipy look in her eyes, but I knew that she was acting because I had caught her secretly winking at Liusu, making Liusu to also become very interested and even a little excited. . .
She covered her mouth in shock, her face was full of sympathy, but her eyes clearly had a gloating look, “You two were. . . touched by those bad people?”
“Nonsense!” Dong Xiaoye was not as gentle as Mo Fei, she immediately replied angrily, “They didn’t touch. . . She and I were released before being searched!”
“Released before being searched? Then how do you know only men’s trousers were stripped off?” Shu Tong’s question was very sharp, and she seemed to be asking this question intentionally. . .
“Chu Nan said it!”
“Little Chu told us!”
The two women who disliked each other finally stood on the united front, because they found a common enemy, Shu Tong!
Shu Tong blinked her big eyes at me and said innocently, “Maybe he was afraid that you two would lose face, so he deliberately said that you two were released before the body search…”
There were only women who looked silly in the world, but there were no women who were really silly. Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye could definitely tell that Shu Tong was deliberately teasing them in front of me and Liusu, so they were extremely angry. “If they dared to search me, I wouldn’t be standing here and talking to you now. I would fight with those bastards to death last night!” Dong Xiaoye said furiously.
Mo Fei also endured her anger and said coldly, “I would rather die than be humiliated by them!”
It was not appropriate for me to get into a fight between women. Although I also wanted to shut Shu Tong’s mouth up, she was standing up for Liusu and mocking the other two women for her. So it really put me in a quandary. But fortunately Liusu could tell that I felt troubled and angry, and at the same time, she also felt that what Shu Tong said was indeed too much, so she who was soft inside but hard outside quickly pulled the corner of Shu Tong’s clothes and said in a low voice,
“Cousin, that’s too much. . .”
“I am sorry!” Shu Tong’s prompt apology made Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye feel somewhat at a loss. They probably didn’t expect her to be such a straightforward person, right? Not knowing if she had decided to stop giving the other two women a difficult time, or she was impressed by the other two women’s answer, she stood up and bowed to the other two women in a serious manner, “I’m sorry. Indeed, reputation and dignity are much more important than life for us women. I shouldn’t have joked about them. What I said was too much. I hope you can forgive me…”
Mo Fei hurriedly stopped Shu Tong from bowing towards them and said, “Miss Shu, there is no need for such a serious apology, I didn’t keep it in mind. . .”
Dong Xiaoye also said, “Yeah, yeah. . .”
Although Shu Tong’s immediate and serious apology startled Dong Xiaoye and Mo Fei, that was not the worst. What was the worst was the thing she said next. After she straightened up her body, she said with a serious face,
“Since both of you value your reputation and dignity so much, for your own good and my cousin’s sake, I’ll be this bad woman once. Miss Mo, Dong Xiaoye, you and him. . .” Shu Tong directly put a finger on my nose, “your relationship is a bit too close, don’t you think so?”
As soon as she said this, the rest of us were all dazed.
“You all know that he is my cousin’s boyfriend, right? . .”
“Cousin. . .” Liusu felt very embarrassed. This was the phrase that she never had the courage to say. And it was also one of the reasons why our relationship couldn’t progress further. But she didn’t expect that Shu Tong would say this in front of everyone. . .
“Liusu, don’t interrupt me. I am your elder cousin, I have the right to criticize him and you. Unless you don’t acknowledge me as your elder cousin.” Shu Tong stopped Liusu from interrupting her, still pointed at my nose, and continued to say to Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye, “I know that you are friends, but there is a difference between ‘close’ and ‘intimate’ in friendship. You can be close to each other, but you can’t be too intimate with each other. . .”
Shu Tong’s gaze swept across Liusu and me, and her strong attitude made Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye embarrassed.
Mo Fei’s guilty feeling was written all over her face, but Dong Xiaoye felt embarrassed because her relationship with me had been completely misunderstood by Shu Tong. However, before she could explain herself, Shu Tong continued,
“From the fact that this rascal would rather risk his life to save you two, it can be seen that you two have a very important place in his heart, and you are not ordinary friends. Moreover, Miss Mo is obviously from a wealthy family, but you actually ignored your own status and took the initiative to come to his messy flat, this kind of behavior…
“Officer Dong is also the same. Although on the surface you give people a feeling that you are not a type of conservative woman, from the words you said earlier, it is not hard to tell that in fact, you are quite conservative. But the intimate look you showed when you entered the flat earlier.
“Maybe it’s because I don’t know as much about the relationship between you as my cousin, but as an outsider, Miss Mo, and officer Dong, all I can see that you are this rascal are not ordinary friends.. .”
Thinking that we almost looked like we were hugging each other intimately when entering the door, Dong Xiaoye blushed and tried to explain herself, but her words were blocked in the throat by Shu Tong’s smiling eyes.
“You have no say in this!” As soon as my lips moved, Shu Tong said to me fiercely, and then smiled at the two women, “a stupid good guy like him would be kind to everyone, so it would be easily misunderstood by other people. There are some things that we always have to be extra careful about before they actually happen. So I hope you won’t get angry with what I said. And please don’t get me wrong. I’m not targeting you. I just don’t trust this rascal. I really don’t want you and my cousin to get hurt by him like me. You probably don’t know what he did to me…”
Stop! I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. What did she mean that she was hurt by me? And what did I do to her? She was clearly slandering me!
The sad thing was that she said it so fast that I wasn’t unable to stop her from telling them those misleading words. Looking at the suspicious gazes of Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye, I almost wanted to cry. . .
It seemed that I had always underestimated Shu Tong. I thought she was a nerd and a natural airhead, but I didn’t expect that she could be this eloquent. No wonder she could be a teacher.
While I was dazed by her words, she smiled and said, “this rascal is definitely going to be my cousin-in-law in the future, and since you two care about your reputation, I think it is better to keep your distance away from him. I really hope you won’t mind me for being meddlesome.”
‘I mind it!’
I believed that even if it was Liusu, she would also feel that Shu Tong was being meddlesome. But I really didn’t dare to say it out loud. So even if Shu Tong was smiling at me provokingly, I could only stay silent.
This damn woman, what did I do to her? Why was she creating trouble for me like this?
