Chapter 390 - An Invitation That Cannot Be Rejected

Chapter 390: Chapter 391 An Invitation That Cannot Be Rejected

Seeing that Liu Xiaosheng seemed to be thinking about something, I knew that this was bad. Moreover, a joke made by Grandma Shu made my worries become a reality, “Yes, Tianhe, Xiufen is right. Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should think about Tong Tong. She definitely would not allow Little Chu to join the hunting game.”

Liu Xiaosheng was a smart man. How could he not tell what was going on at this point? He first looked at Liusu, then looked at me again, and finally looked at Shu Tong and her parents. After looking at all of us, she said in a surprised tone, “Mr. Chu, you and Tong… You and Miss Shu…”

Even if he was eloquent, he still couldn’t help but stutter at this moment. After all, my relationship with Liusu and Mo Fei was no secret to him. The jaws of Guo Xiang and Liu Xingyu had already dropped to the ground, let alone the two brothers of the Zhang family.

This was bad. Originally, I just needed to drive Liu Xiaosheng and other people away, then this unpleasant incident would be over. But I didn’t expect that it would become like this.

“Er… We…”

Just when I was struggling to explain, Liusu said indifferently, “What’s wrong with my cousin going out with Chu Nan?”

Liu Xiaosheng was dazed, “Problem? This… Miss Cheng, I think your question itself is a problem…” He said implicitly and turned to look at Zhang Mingjie. Obviously, he didn’t believe Liusu’s words, but he also didn’t mind using his eyes to mock Zhang Mingjie.

Zhang Mingjie, who still had feelings for Liusu, felt very embarrassed, “But, Miss Cheng, all the people in Fengchang… No, actually all the people in Bei Tian City know that you and Mr. Chu…”

“No one is asking your opinion!” Liusu only pretended to be indifferent. In fact, she was more nervous than me. Seeing the suspicions on the faces of the three elders of the Shu family, she quickly interrupted Zhang Mingjie, despite the fact that he was her superior in the company.

However, the strange thing was that Zhang Mingjie was not angry. Seeing Liusu’s reaction, he was surprisingly obedient, “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.”

Was Zhang Mingjie secretly happy because he thought there was a problem with our relationship, or he simply wanted to please Liusu in front of others? I couldn’t tell which one it was, but he really stopped talking afterward. What made me feel relieved was that Father Shu and Mother Shu could tell he liked Liusu, so their suspicion was reduced a lot.

Liu Xiaosheng showed a hint of disappointment towards Zhang Mingjie’s attitude, but it was not easily noticeable by other people. He then said with a smile, “Mr. Chu is really a lucky man. I really envy you.”

Shu Tong simply replied, “He is better than you.”

Liu Xiaosheng’s mouth twitched unnaturally. That was a sign of his self-esteem being hurt. What was Shu Tong doing? This damn woman was clearly trying to stir up trouble. Originally, there was really nothing going on between us, and we were just acting, but after what she said, it would only make people think otherwise. First, it was Mo Fei, and then it was Shu Tong. I had taken both women away from him, there was no way that he wouldn’t hate me.

In addition, Shu Tong’s words, it could also be seen that it was not Liu Xiaosheng who dumped Shu Tong, but Shu Tong who rejected Liu Xiaosheng.

“Great, great.” Liu Xiaosheng said great two times. No one knew if he was saying that Shu Tong’s reply was great, or he was agreeing with Shu Tong’s opinion that I was better than him. He smiled. But no matter what it was, he stopped looking at Shu Tong and said to me with a smile, “Mr. Chu, what do you think? Do you want to go hunting with me?”

If I were Liu Xiaosheng, then I definitely would not be able to smile after getting this kind of response. Since he could still smile so happily, it proved that he must be scheming something. I unconsciously became vigilant.

Guo Xiang, who was hiding behind him, shook his head at me again and again, signaling me to decline the invitation. And the vicious sneer Zhang Peiwen had when he looked at me also made me shudder.

“Mr. Liu, thank you for your invitation, but I don’t know anything about hunting. With my ability, I dare not to fight with those wolves at all.”

“Mr. Chu, you are too humble. Wolves aren’t that scary. Compared to wolves, Xu Heng is much more fierce than a pack of wolves.” Liu Xiaosheng flattered me, still trying to invite me to join their hunting game.

“How can you compare people to a pack of wolves?” Liusu said, “And we are still eating, so Mr. Liu, please don’t be so rude.”

Chu Yuan also replied, “Yes, we still haven’t finished our meal, so how does my elder brother have time for animals?”

Chu Yuan, this bratty girl, was really sharp-tongued. On the surface, it sounded like she was talking about those wolves, but actually, she was comparing Liu Xiaosheng to animals. The greatest thing about her remark was that Liu Xiaosheng couldn’t even say anything. After all, Chu Yuan didn’t clearly say that she was talking about him.

“Fine then,” But Liu Xiaosheng was not an ordinary person, after all. His angry expression disappeared in a flash and he said with a smile, “Since the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort incident, I haven’t met with Mr. Chu for a while. Now that we are all here today, and most of us are not strangers to each other, I don’t think that Mr. Chu would mind us staying for a couple of drinks and chatting with you, right?”

He was clearly asking me this question, but his eyes were looking at the three elders of the Shu family. He was clearly threatening me! He could tell that I was trying to hide something. Although he didn’t know what it was, he knew that I definitely didn’t want them to stay.

Liusu and Shu Tong didn’t know how to hide their feelings well, all their emotions were written all over their faces, so no matter how good my acting skills were, it was still useless.

At this moment, unless I completely stopped acting and asked them to leave immediately without giving them any face; otherwise, they would not leave. And Shu Tong’s family didn’t really know what was going on, so they naturally would not mind them staying.

Liu Xingyu knew that I had conflicts with her Elder Brother in the past, so she persuaded, “Elder Brother, we have already booked our room, why do we have to cause trouble to Elder Brother Nan? Let’s go hunting first…”

“Am I talking to you?” Liu Xiaosheng’s words choked Xingyu off, and he continued, “Besides, Mr. Chu is a much better peacemaker than me. Unless you don’t want to improve the relationship between Guo Xiang and the Zhang family.”

When it was about Guo Xiang, Xingyu no longer dared to say anything.

I didn’t know exactly what Liu Xiaosheng was talking about and why he was saying that I was a better peacemaker, but there was enough information for me to guess why Guo Xiang was with them. The reason why Guo Xiang and the Zhang family didn’t have a good relationship was because of Liu Xingyu. And the reason why Zhang Peiwen had no choice but to give up Liu Xingyu was because I had something on him. Liu Xiaosheng didn’t know why Zhang Peiwen was scared of me, but he knew that it was because of Guo Xiang that I ruined the Liu family’s relationship with the Zhang family.

So he wanted to use Guo Xiang to threaten me.

I didn’t think that the three elders of the Shu family would refuse Liu Xiaosheng’s request, so before they spoke, I said first, “Since Mr. Liu sincerely invites me to join the hunting game, then it would be rude of me to decline it again. Anyway, doing some exercise after the meal is not a bad choice. Hehe.”

Since I couldn’t refuse, I simply accepted the invitation lest they would cause trouble in front of the elders of the Shu family.

“Elder Brother…”

“It’s okay,” I patted Chu Yuan on the shoulder and whispered, “I even shot some bad guys before, so you think I would be scared of shooting a few wolves?”

Liusu said worriedly, “But your leg…”

“I’ve already recovered,” I patted my thigh and said, “I can even kick a wolf like kicking a football.”

“You think I would believe it?” Dong Xiaoye rolled her eyes but didn’t say anything else.

Mother Shu and Grandma Shu were still worried, “Little Chu, it’s too dangerous.”

“Yes, Xiao Chu, don’t do it,” Mother Shu persuaded, “Wouldn’t it be much better to invite them to sit down and chat with us?”

Uh… I was actually more afraid of them sitting down with us than hunting wolves.

“Don’t worry, it’s not that dangerous. I’ll bring some wolf meat back, so you can grill them,” I pretended to be calm and asked Manager Tian, “Do you allow customers to grill wolf meat here?”

Manager Tian was typing something with his cell phone nervously. When he heard my question, he was a little panicked. He hurriedly put away his phone and said, “Of course, of course.”

“That’s good…” Looking at Manager Tian, I was a little puzzled. Moreover, where did Min Rou go? Didn’t she just leave the room to answer a phone call?

. . .

In the equipment room, there were many different types of shotguns and crossbows. There were also some other weapons such as short spears, bows, daggers, and hatchets. The more I saw, the more I felt that this place should be shut down by the police.

After putting on a camouflage uniform, I came out of the locker room. Seeing Chu Yuan, Liusu, Sister Tiger, and Shu Tong were choosing weapons, I hurriedly stopped them and said, “What are you doing?”

Shu Tong picked up a short crossbow, waved it, and said, “Join you to hunt wolves.”

“Are you kidding me?” I snatched the crossbow from her hand, “If it’s hunting rabbits, I will take you, but we are hunting wolves. Didn’t you see how big this place is? Who knows where the wolves would come out. What if you got bitten?”

Liusu hugged Chu Yuan, with a worried expression on her face, and said, “That’s why we are worried about you. If we have more people, wolves will be scared, and then maybe they will not attack us.”

“They’ve been hungry for several days. They probably wish there would be more people,” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “And you girls’ bodies are very tender, they definitely like it a lot… So stop causing more trouble to me. Just wait here.”

Chu Yuan said anxiously, “He must have a bad intention. That’s why he insists you join their hunting game.”
