My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 56
“Xiao Xiao, what do you mean by that? Don’t you know my birthday?”
“Huh? How would I know? You didn’t tell me, did you, Ziye-san?”
“…Didn’t I tell you?”
“Did you tell me, Ziye-san? When?”
“Three years ago! I told you that back then!”
“Three years… ago?” Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Ziye Yuan’ai with a puzzled expression, a look that filled Ziye Yuan’ai with despair.
“Ziye-kun, wasn’t our first meeting at the school gate?”
“What……”
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao said this, Ziye Yuanai swayed slightly in shock. The answer was clear: Lu Xiaoxiao was indeed not “Xibianzhu,” the angel she believed in.
Ziye Yuanai regained her footing, glared at Lu Xiaoxiao, and asked:
“Then why…why did you admit that we’ve met before?”
“I…I thought you meant the meeting at the school gate…We asked you for directions because I was lost…”
“You…you!”
Ziye Yuan’ai was stunned for a moment, then, a powerful force arose from her rage, almost causing Liu Nuanyu to lose control of her. She could only bar her teeth and claws at Lu Xiaoxiao like a madwoman, while roaring:
“You liar! You’re not her at all! Then why are you impersonating her!”
“I… Ziye-kun, so you’ve mistaken me for someone else? I… I thought I just couldn’t remember… I’m so sorry…”
“you!!!!!”
“Alright! You better behave yourself!” Liu Nuanyu pinned Ziye Yuan’ai to the ground. “You selfish bastard, all you care about is what you can get and how others have wronged you. You never think about what you’ve done or the harm you’ve caused others! How dare someone like you blame others?”
In fact, even without Liu Nuanyu’s suppression, Ziye Yuan’ai had stopped struggling. She had calmed down, or rather, she had figured it out. Since Lu Xiaoxiao was not the “girl” she thought she was, there was no need to persist any longer…
At this moment, her resentment towards Lu Xiaoxiao was immense, even surpassing that towards Liu Nuanyu and Sun Du. The reason she resented Liu Nuanyu and Sun Du was because of Lu Xiaoxiao, but now… Lu Xiaoxiao was no longer “her,” so there was no need for her to harbor any more resentment towards Liu Nuanyu and Sun Du.
In some ways, it’s not all bad that Lu Xiaoxiao isn’t “her.” At least… the “she” in Ziye Yuan’s heart wasn’t taken over by someone as powerful as Sun Du, and she didn’t see his ugly side. It’s just that… she’s all alone now again.
Having thought all this through, Gen’ai Murasaki’s tone calmed down:
“Let me go…”
What do you want to do?
Although the other party seemed calmer, Liu Nuanyu didn’t believe that the other party wouldn’t take any dangerous actions now.
“I want to leave…”
“You’re letting me leave? You’re not planning to cause trouble again after you leave, are you?”
“Let me go! Let me go!”
Ziye Yuanai raised her voice, while Lu Xiaoxiao also advised Liu Nuanyu:
“Sister Liu, please let her leave…”
Upon hearing this, Liu Nuanyu clicked her tongue and had no choice but to release her grip. She couldn’t possibly keep the other person under control indefinitely; that wouldn’t be proper. But if the other person made any dangerous moves or had any dangerous intentions, she would definitely arrest them!
Ziye Yuanai took a step and slowly left, with Liu Nuanyu always standing between her and Lu Xiaoxiao. Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Ziye Yuanai with concern until she disappeared from sight.
After Ziye Yuanai left, Lu Xiaoxiao sent a message to Sun Du using her mobile phone:
“Commander Sun, it’s finished…”
“Yes, I know. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxiao.”
Sun Du saw the situation clearly, whether it was Ziye Yuan’ai’s hysteria, Lu Xiaoxiao’s reluctance, or Liu Nuanyu’s doubts…
“I’m fine. In contrast, Director Sun, Ziye-san…”
“It’s cruel, isn’t it? But isn’t this a form of punishment?”
“I know, of course I know… but I still feel a little… reluctant.”
“Why couldn’t you bear it, Xiaoxiao? Was it out of concern for a friend? Or pity for a girl? Or sorrow for a lonely person? Or perhaps grief for that father?”
“I guess so… but I know it’s necessary. I have no reason to let the people around me get hurt because of Ziye.”
“Well, so… now it’s my turn.”
“Mr. Sun, what do you plan to do?”
“If I could, I would like to teach her, but only if I can keep the girl under control, just like three years ago. It may be cruel, but a beautiful dream is necessary for a wounded person, because a dream is to plant the seeds of hope for the future in our real lives, hoping that they will take root and sprout in the future.”
…
After talking with Lu Xiaoxiao, it was Liu Nuanyu’s turn. This girl was initially kept in the dark and was confused when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. How come this was different from what Mr. Sun said?
Fortunately, the girl wasn’t stupid and didn’t expose Lu Xiaoxiao’s act; she just watched. However, she wasn’t particularly clever either, as she immediately called Director Sun and told him what had just happened.
Sun Du listened as the girl hurriedly and incoherently explained the situation, then comforted her:
“Don’t panic, this is all an act. I made Xiaoxiao do this on purpose.”
As he spoke, Governor Sun explained his and Lu Xiaoxiao’s plan to Liu Nuanyu. After listening, Liu Nuanyu sighed:
“I see. Mr. Sun and Sister Xiao are so kind… But why didn’t they tell me beforehand?”
Sun Du: “Well, firstly, I’m afraid you won’t act well, and secondly, I want to test your intelligence.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Nuanyu angrily retorted, “What do you mean by testing my intelligence? Does my intelligence need to be tested?”
Sun Du: “It seems necessary at present. After what just happened, I learned that you passed the IQ test this time, which is not bad.”
Liu Nuanyu: “Just passing?”
Sun Du: “Yes, if it were higher, you would probably ask me if this was my plan, instead of being skeptical about Xiaoxiao’s acting, or even wondering if Xiaoxiao has lost her mind.”
“I……”
Upon hearing this, Liu Nuanyu felt somewhat embarrassed. She had been expecting praise from Governor Sun, but she hadn’t anticipated…
Liu Nuanyu (muttering softly): “Mr. Sun is so strict… Can’t he praise me a little?”
Sun Du (heard this): “Okay, okay, you’re great. Alright? I still have a next step in my plan.”
“ah……”
Hearing her mutterings and then hearing Director Sun mention the next step in the plan, Liu Nuanyu first gasped shyly, then blushed and asked:
“What plan? May I know?”
Sun Du: “No, you should do a few brain teasers first.”
Liu Nuanyu: “I…”
