Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 404 - Apology

Chapter 405 Apology

Thinking that Ziyuan might have questions for me, I had lunch with Ziyuan in the company’s cafeteria. I thought she would ask me what I had been doing in the past few days, or what my relationship with Mo Fei was, or at least, she would ask me what happened in the Moon Valley… but surprisingly, her topic was almost all around Zhu Danchen’s elementary school, as if she didn’t even know what happened to Liu Xiaosheng, and when I answered her question, she seemed absent-minded, seemingly uninterested in my answers.

I felt like I could not understand her more and more…

I heard that Liu Xiaosheng had already moved from the ICU to the ordinary ward yesterday. Originally, I had an appointment with Guo Xiang to go to the hospital to visit him in the afternoon. After all, when the accident happened, I was with him. Not to mention that if I did not visit him, people might think that I was guilty of something, and it was me who caused Liu Xiaosheng to be injured. So, all things considered, I should at least visit him a few times.

Guo Xiang said that he would pick me up from Fengchang, I thought he would come over alone, but when he appeared, he was with Xingyu. As soon as she saw me, the first thing she did was crying. It startled me into thinking that Liu Xiaosheng had died in the hospital…

It just happened that there were still many people in the company. When my colleagues saw a young girl holding my arms crying, and there was a mature man standing behind her, they subconsciously thought that I had abandoned the girl, and now the girl brought her elder brother to the company to ask me for an explanation.

Because of my ambiguous relationship with Liusu and Mo Fei, other people in the company had already made up their minds about what kind of person I was; therefore, even if I wanted to explain to them that it was not what they thought was, no one would believe me. So I hurriedly pulled them downstairs and sat down in a nearby cafe.

“Elder Brother Nan, I’m sorry…” After drinking half a glass of ice water and collecting herself, Xingyu finally stopped crying and said.

‘Sorry?” I was dazed? Only a moment later did I figure out why she was crying, “Phew, you scared the hell out of me, I thought you elder brother di… Ahem, I thought you wanted to blame me for what I did to your elder brother. See? My hands are still shaking.”

I knew my joke was not funny. Even if Liu Xiaosheng really died, I would not feel sad, but I would certainly feel sorry for Xingyu. Unlike her Elder Brother, she was very kind.

“He… I don’t want to talk about him now,” Xingyu wiped the tears from her face and said, “Elder Brother Nan, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of him. I know it is very difficult for you to forgive him, and I shouldn’t even make this kind of request… but I’m his younger sister, and no matter how bad he is, he is still my elder brother… so I can only beg you…”

“Beg me?” I was confused. Scratching my head, I asked, “Xingyu, what are you talking about? I didn’t understand anything you just said.”

Xingyu held my hand and said, “Elder Brother Nan, I’m begging you, please don’t press charges against my elder brother!”

“Press charges against him?” I was even more confused, “Why would I want to press charges against your elder brother?” Although Liu Xiaosheng didn’t try to save me when the wolf attacked me, in the end, he was the one who suffered the serious injury. I only hoped that he wouldn’t use this excuse to cause trouble to me, why would I want to press charges against him? After all, it was not a crime not to save someone, right? At most, people would only scold him for having no humanity…

Xingyu pouted her mouth and her eyes teared up again, “He, He almost got you killed…”

I was dazed, realizing that the problem was not as simple as I had imagined. I looked at Guo Xiang, who was ashamed and angry, and asked, “What’s going on?”

Guo Xiang put his arm around Xingyu’s shoulder, trying to comfort her. Hearing what I said, he replied with a wry smile, “Before we entered the hunting park that day, do you still remember that Liu Xiaosheng spilled a bottle of drink on you?”

“Mhm, Min Rou even asked me for my clothes and the remaining half of the drink…” Halfway through replying, a guess suddenly flashed past my mind. “Is there really something wrong with that drink? !” I asked in a shocked tone.

Hearing what I asked, Xingyu felt even more ashamed. She hid her face in Guo Xiang’s arms, not daring to look at me. Guo Xiang lowered his head to look at crying Xingyu and said while shaking his head, “Xiao Nan, you may have saved my life. If we didn’t bump into you in the Moon Valley that day, the one that is lying in the hospital would’ve probably been me… I might’ve been lying in the mortuary house now.”

Guo Xiang didn’t seem to be joking at all. I anxiously asked, “What exactly is going on?”

“Miss Min found the remaining half of the drink and took your shirt to the lab. The result showed that in that drink, it was actually mixed with… wolf urine.”

“Wolf urine? !” I still didn’t realize the true intention of Liu Xiaosheng immediately and said with shock, “He actually wanted me to drink that disgusting stuff? !”

Guo Xiang said with a stern voice, “He didn’t want you to drink it, he wanted to splash it on your body.”

“Why?”

“I heard that there are many wild camels living in the desert in Kuwait. They often appeared on highways in the past, posing a great threat to traffic safety. Because wild camels are protected animals and people can’t kill them, someone came up with a method to drive away those camels, and that is to spray wolf urine on the highway. As a result, there are no longer any wild camels on the highway. They have a very sensitive sense of smell, they can even smell water from a few kilometers away let alone the smell of wolves’ urine. They will instinctively think that it is a place where wolves are residing, so naturally, they will avoid it…”

Guo Xiang said with lingering fear, “Wolves are canines, their sense of smell is stronger than that of a wild camel. In addition, they are gregarious animals. So if the wolf in the park smells of its companions, what do you think will happen?”

“It will… trace the smell and find me…” My heart sank almost to the bottom of my feet. I swallowed and asked, “You mean, Liu Xiaosheng wanted the wolf to attack me?”

Guo Xiang nodded, “Fortunately you kept following him in the park and didn’t act alone, so when the wolf found you, it also found Liu Xiaosheng…”

‘Damn this Liu Xiaosheng! No wonder he wanted to get rid of me so badly at that time! It turned out that he knew the wolf would trace the smell and found me first, so it was very dangerous to stay with me…’ Now I understood why the wolf only chased me instead of Liu Xiaosheng at that time! But…

“The wolf was originally chasing me, but it later changed its target and attacked Liu Xiaosheng, so that wolf urine didn’t seem to be very useful.”

“Wolves are not stupid animals, in its eyes, there is no difference between you and Liu Xiaosheng after it discovered you two.” Guo Xiang sighed and carried on, “Liu Xiaosheng thought that he was safe because it was chasing you, so he sneaked back to the tree to get the gun down. But before he was able to climb up, the wolf suddenly jumped out and bit his leg…

“I’ve asked a friend who works as a manager at a zoo and learned that wolves have a very keen insight. They are extremely patient when hunting their prey, and they are very specific about their prey. They can spend a long time following their prey without getting tired at all.

“Moreover, wolves can distinguish between strong and weak. You said you were holding a hatchet at the time, so it was impossible for it to not realize that you are more dangerous than Liu Xiaosheng. Therefore, the wolf was not necessarily chasing you at the time. It was most likely trying to separate you from Liu Xiaosheng. If you hadn’t rushed over bravely, Liu Xiaosheng probably would….”

Although when I confronted the wolf, I could feel that it was very smart, I still didn’t expect that it would be smart to this extent…

I didn’t know what to say to Guo Xiang. I grabbed the water glass and gulped it down, but still couldn’t extinguish the flames of anger within me. I didn’t know what I was mad at. Was I mad at Liu Xiaosheng who wanted to harm me? Or was I angry at the fact that I was actually fooled by an animal?

At this time, Xingyu took a check from her bag and pushed to me slowly, “Elder Brother Nan…”

“What’s this? Hush money?”

Seeing me looking at her coldly, Xingyu trembled all over in fear like a frightened little lamb. Even if I knew that she was the younger sister of Liu Xiaosheng, I still couldn’t get mad at her. Holding back my anger, I said in a slightly calm tone, “Is this your idea or your family’s idea?”

“My…” Xingyu lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I know Elder Brother Nan would think that this is an insult to you. But… I really don’t know what else I can do… My parents only have one son, and I only have one brother, Elder Brother Nan. I’m begging you, can you forgive my elder brother? I know he is a bad and despicable person. But he is still my elder brother…”

Guo Xiang took the check from Xingyu’s hand and pushed it to me. He then got up, walked back two steps, and bowed to me, “Xiao Nan, please take it, this is the Liu family’s idea. They know you wouldn’t forgive them if they came here, so they asked Xingyu to do it. Xingyu is also in a difficult position. I’m sorry, Xiao Nan. We know we are asking too much, but…. we can only beg you…”

Seeing the man she loved bowing to me in front of so many people, Xingyu couldn’t stop crying. She also got up and bowed to me like Guo Xiang, attracting the attention of all the people in the cafe.

I was clearly the victim of this incident, but now it looked like I was the bad guy…

I looked down at the check. It was five million… It turned out that Liu Xiaosheng’s reputation was really expensive. Mo Yizhi donated five million to build a school, but the Liu family spent five million just to save their face. From this point of view, it seemed that the Liu family was much richer than the Mo family.
