Chapter 29 - People Can Be Shameless

In the living room, Lin Mengxue heard a noise and poked her head out of the kitchen.

“Ru, who are you talking to?

Is it Su Xuan who’s come over?” Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Sis, it’s nobody, I’m just killing cockroaches!”

“Cockroaches?”

Lin Mengxue paused for a moment, thinking to herself, “How could there be cockroaches?

We just sprayed the potion yesterday!”

She was about to speak when a series of doorbell chimes began.

She quickly urged her younger sister, “Hurry and open the door, someone’s ringing the bell!”

Hearing this, Lin Mengru’s face instantly turned bitter, and she mentally cursed Su Xuan thoroughly.

Opening the door, there stood Su Xuan outside with a triumphant smile as if to say, ‘See, you still have to open the door for me obediently!’

At the sight of his grinning face, Lin Mengru’s temper flared, and she angrily scolded, “You jerk, what on earth do you want?”

“Nothing, I just missed my Sister Xue!”

“Pah, since when did my sister become your sister!

I warn you, Su Xuan, if you keep pestering my sister, be careful, or I’ll…”

Su Xuan shrugged his shoulders and cut her off, “What are you going to do?

Hey, you can’t beat me, and you can’t outwit me with words.

Besides, you’re not Mengxue, how do you know she doesn’t want to see me!”

Lin Mengru snorted coldly but knew in her heart that her sister, Lin Mengxue, had liked the boy next door since they were young and that Mengxue and Su Xuan had practically been raised together by her.

Now that Su Xuan had returned from the army, he was not only more handsome but also possessed a mature man’s charm.

Although Lin Mengru was reluctant to admit it, she couldn’t deny that the current Su Xuan possessed a lethal attraction to any woman.

In the midst of their conversation, Lin Mengxue also walked into the living room.

“It’s Su Xuan, come on in.

It just so happens I’ve finished cooking dinner, stay and eat with us!”

“Sister Xue, won’t I be disturbing you all?”

Lin Mengru reluctantly opened the door for Su Xuan, and upon hearing her sister’s invitation, immediately retorted, “Yes, you will, so get out of here right now!” She even pushed Su Xuan outwards with her hand.

“What are you saying?

After all, Su Xuan has been our neighbor for so many years, what’s wrong with having a meal together!”

“Sister Xue, don’t talk about Ru like that, she’s still young.

Actually, the kid’s got a good heart.”

Su Xuan’s face was full of smiles, but when Lin Mengxue wasn’t watching, his eyes held a provoking look towards Lin Mengru.

Lin Mengxue nodded with a smile, giving Su Xuan an affectionate gaze and then said to her sister Lin Mengru, “You see, Su Xuan is so sensible.

Ru, if you could be half as knowing your place as him, your sister would rest assured!”

“Ah!

I’m going crazy!”

Lin Mengru clutched her hair in frustration, glared at Su Xuan, then turned and ran straight back to her room.

Under his intense gaze, Lin Mengxue’s legs went weak and she nearly fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Su Xuan was quick to catch her.

“Ru is still here!”

Hearing Lin Mengxue say this was like a bucket of ice water poured over Su Xuan’s head, bringing him back to his senses.

All desire evaporated cleanly.

Su Xuan didn’t want his most critical moment to be startled into impotence by a sudden appearance of Lin Mengru!

Moreover, knowing Lin Mengru as well as he did, he knew if she had the chance, she would certainly take it!

Seeing Su Xuan’s distressed expression, Lin Mengxue smiled sweetly and softly said, “Don’t be anxious, Ru just happens to be staying with me over the weekend.

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night she’ll return to her dormitory at the university!”

“Tomorrow night?”

After saying this, it was as though she had used up all her strength, making her lean on Su Xuan.

However, for Su Xuan who heard this, it had the complete opposite effect — he perked up again!

The two were tender for a while before Lin Mengxue returned to the kitchen to finish preparing the dinner.

At this moment, Lin Mengru also came out of her room.

“What’s up, changed your mind, willing to acknowledge me as your brother now?” Su Xuan looked at her with a mockingly teasing smile.

“Hmph, the shameless are invincible in this world.

I used not to believe it, but after seeing you, I realized that saying was tailor-made for you!”

Hearing Lin Mengru’s sarcastic words, Su Xuan’s expression didn’t change one bit; instead, he replied with a slight uptick of his mouth, “Thanks for the compliment!”

Lin Mengru wanted to hit back, but at that moment, her sister Lin Mengxue had already come over with the prepared dinner.

“Ru, what are you two chatting about?”

“Sis…” Lin Mengru pouted, then shifted the topic to the dinner, “Why did you cook so much today?”

Lin Mengxue smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Su Xuan as she said with affection, “Su Xuan found a job, and I wanted to celebrate a little for him today.”

“Found a job?” Lin Mengru’s eyes lit up, eager to know, “What job?”

“Security at Bright Moon Building!”

Before Lin Mengxue could reply, Su Xuan proudly announced it himself.

When Lin Mengru heard this, she burst into laughter, “Haha, here I was thinking it was some great job, and it turns out just to be a security guard!”

Unperturbed, Su Xuan replied leisurely, “Are you looking down on me or the profession of security guards?”

“Do I need to say it?

Of course, I’m looking down on…”

Lin Mengru didn’t think twice, her response flew out.

But midway, she caught her sister Lin Mengxue’s disapproving glare.

Consequently, she couldn’t finish her sentence and could only glare resentfully at Su Xuan, wisely shutting her mouth.

But unbeknownst to her, as she beat a retreat, Su Xuan’s attack was just getting started.

“Ah, Ru, I’m your brother, I know you wouldn’t look down on your own brother.

So, it seems you’re looking down on this extremely promising profession of being a security guard, huh?”

As he spoke, Su Xuan shook his head and sighed.

“There’s no high or low in professions, Ru.

That attitude won’t do.

I’m looking out for you.

Society is too restless these days, what with all this worship of money, preferring to cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.

That’s a capitalist cancer, truly despicable!”
