Chapter 486: Chapter 487 Dinner (1)

Translator: Doggotranslation

“Nan Nan, drink porridge. Does your arm still hurt? Do you want me to feed you?”

“I can drink it myself!” I snorted, picked up the bowl, and finished the porridge in three gulps. Seeing my response, Liusu was very embarrassed.

“Elder Brother, eat this fried dough stick. your arm must hurt, so let me feed you.”

“I can eat it myself!” I snorted again, and finished a whole fried dough stick in two bites. Chu Yuan, who leaned forward, sat back down dispiritedly again, grievingly taking a small bite of the dough stick she wanted to give me.

“Brother Nan, don’t eat so fast, you will choke yourself. Hurry up, drink some water.”

“l can… uh, cough, quick, pass me the glass! Uh…”

“Huh! Serve you right!…” It’s rare for Chu Yuan and Liusu to agree on something. They murmured in unison.

“You think I wronged you?!” I suppressed my anger, put down the water glass, and pointed to my nose that was still stuffed with tissue, and said, “None of you wanted to hear my explanation. All of you just came up to me and kicked me fiercely without finding out what happened first. It’s already very gentlemanly of me not to hit you back, but you are still not happy because I am having a bad temper?”

The red-faced Dong Xiaoye persuaded in a low voice without any confidence, “Hmm, Little Chu, don’t blame them. It, it was my fault…”

“Of course, it was your fault.” I said in a huff: “You are a woman, are you not? Then why couldn’t you sleep like one? I know the sofa is small, but it is still not that easy to fall off it, okay? And if you felt cold, couldn’t you switch off the air-conditioner? Why did you have to hug me?”

Fortunately, Sister Tiger did not remember her bold drunken behavior last night. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to scold her at this moment. Hearing what I said, she was so ashamed that she almost buried her head in the bowl of porridge.

These bratty girls seemed to have forgotten who was the head of the family. Just because I didn’t get angry at them normally, they felt that they could bully me without any consequence. While they were kicking me, Dong Xiaoye, this damn culprit, also hugged me so tightly that it was difficult for me to even cover my head, let alone fight back. Seeing her sleep like this made me wonder if she was really asleep or not. After all, how would she, a policewoman, who was supposed to be a very vigilant person, still be able to sleep so deeply in the noises created by those bratty girls. Fortunately, my nose bled, otherwise I would’ve really been killed by them!

Chu Yuan was not willing to admit that it was all their fault: “That was a misunderstanding. Besides, didn’t we apologize already?”

“Can I kick your nose and then apologize to you?”

“How can you be so petty-minded!”

“This is a matter of principle, alright! I am the head of the family, and I must emphasize my status.”

Chu Yuan was choked by my words, but Liusu on the side still grumbled in dissatisfaction: “What kind of head of the family sleeps on the floor…”

“Are you refuting Yuan Yuan? Yes, sleeping on the floor exactly proves that I am not a petty-minded person. Otherwise, one of you would be sleeping on the floor last night. But that doesn’t mean I can tolerate anything you do, and…” I continued angrily, “Whose fault was it that I had to sleep on the floor? You are also the same. As a girl, you should be more careful when staying outside. But not only did you not stop drinking when you couldn’t handle it, but you continued to drink to a point that you passed out completely. Fortunately I am a gentleman, otherwise you probably wouldn’t even know who got you pregnant! ”

“Hey, Nan Nan, what you said is too much. Mu Rui drank toasts to me and Sister Xiaoye first. To show respect, how can we not drink? I indeed drank too much, but that’s because I trusted you. Have you ever seen me drink with someone else before?”

Speaking of this, she indeed has never drunk with other people before…

Seeing Chu Yuan’s face turn cold, I quickly stopped the topic, “Don’t try to change the subject. We are talking about domestic violence here.”

The three girls didn’t know who kicked my nose. No one admitted or denied it. All of them were thinking that if they admit it, I would definitely be very angry at that person. And if they deny it, they could shift the responsibility to the other two people… I knew it was impossible for me to find the real culprit, because while they didn’t want to make me angry, they also didn’t want to be a selfish person. However, I still took advantage of their mind struggle and didn’t stop questioning them, because I had other purposes.

Seeing me staring at her, Dongfang Lianren turned her head guiltily and grumbled: “Didn’t we apologize to you already?”

“You think an apology is enough?” I lifted my leg and showed her my feet, “If this is your answer, then I will really kick you, and after kicking you, I will sincerely apologize to you.”

Dongfang hid behind Chu Yuan and stuck her tongue out at me, not believing that I would really kick her. Chu Yuan knew that she was in the wrong, so she compromised: “Okay, okay, then, just tell us what do you want us to do before you are willing to forgive us?”

“Simple,” This was exactly what I wanted. Assuming a serious expression, I said calmly: “Ziyuan will come to our house for dinner today. I don’t want any of you to ask her about what happened last night. If you can do it, I will forgive you.”

“What?!” Chu Yuan stood up all of a sudden and glared at me angrily, realizing that she had been tricked by me.

In fact, not just Chu Yuan, Liusu, and Dong Xiaoye also had complex expressions on their faces.

Liusu had heard from Dong Xiaoye about the matter last night. If it wasn’t because my nose was bleeding, she would have already asked me for an explanation. Now that I took advantage of their guilty feelings and stopped her from questioning, naturally, she was dissatisfied.

Dong Xiaoye frowned and said, “Little Chu, are you serious?”

I gritted my teeth and said, “Do I look like I am joking?”

“Why can’t we question her?” Chu Yuan said aggrievedly: “You are angry at us after we were just playing with you and did not hurt you on purpose, but you are not angry at her after she ordered five bad guys to beat you yesterday? Elder Brother, Sister Xiaoye and I were hurt by her!”

Dong Xiaoye’s toes were hurt by me when she kicked me in the crotch, and Chu Yuan was hurt because after she threw the brick, she fell and was scratched when she tried to run away…

Chu Yuan’s attitude towards Ziyuan has always been very strange. She didn’t seem to like Ziyuan, but she would imitate everything Ziyuan did, whether it was the way she spoke or her behaviors. Of course, this was directly related to the thing I didn’t want to recall five years ago, but I always felt that there were other reasons. Before that, Chu Yuan and Ziyuan had not been very close either…

“That was just a misunderstanding. She didn’t order the bodyguards to beat me… Of course, I am not saying that she is not responsible, but this matter is very complicated. There must be a reason why she doesn’t want me to see the Third Lady. I will find out from her eventually, but not today,” I sighed and carried on: “Yuan Yuan, to be honest, you think we are qualified to get angry at your Sister Ziyuan?”

“I…” Chu Yuan lowered her head dispiritedly, no longer showing the angry look that she showed earlier, “No…”

Liusu, Dong Xiaoye, and Dongfang were all taken aback. Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan would give up so easily. They did not understand what Chu Yuan and I were saying, because they don’t know what happened five years ago.

I got up, patted Chu Yuan’s head, and smiled: “So we shouldn’t get angry at her. Not to mention that it was not her intention to let the bodyguards hurt us yesterday, even if it was, we deserved it.”

Chu Yuan grabbed my bandaged arm and said anxiously, “But that was my fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. Even if she’s angry about that, she shouldn’t hit you…”

“I’ll say it again, what happened yesterday was the Third Lady’s order. Your Sister Ziyuan didn’t do anything.” I really didn’t know why Chu Yuan was certain that it was Ziyuan’s order, I could only shake my head and say with a smile: “Also, silly girl, you are my little sister, so I also have responsibility…”

Chu Yuan looked at me with teary eyes and fell silent.

I tried to comfort her, “She finally came back after five years, and she is going to come to our house for a meal, so can we not mention the unpleasant thing of last night, okay?”

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but eventually bit her lip and reluctantly nodded her head.

I looked at Liusu and Dong Xiaoye again, “What about you two?”

Before they answered, I heard Dongfang Lianren respond in a loud voice: “I agree!”

Seeing everyone look at her, she smiled embarrassedly: “Since Yuan Yuan agrees, I will agree too.”

Now that Chu Yuan and Dongfang both agreed, Liusu and Dong Xiaoye couldn’t say anything. They had no choice but to reply perfunctorily. Looking at their expressions, I could tell that they were still very dissatisfied with Ziyuan. Of course, they knew that what happened last night might not really be Ziyuan’s fault. But Ziyuan’s evasiveness and concealment of the Third Lady also became an undeniable fact.

At noon, Ziyuan did not show up. Her phone was finally turned on, but she did not answer my call. Chu Yuan said that she must be feeling guilty and was afraid to come. The other three girls all agreed with her. But I didn’t agree, I believe that Ziyuan would definitely come.

When I asked Chu Yuan to prepare dinner, I still couldn’t get through to Ziyuan. But just when they complained to me that I was wasting their hard work, the doorbell rang.. In the dazed expression of four girls, I smiled and got up to open the door.
