Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Not Friend Arc -To deceive others and to deceive yourself

People would do anything for their friends, let alone losing a job. I comforted myself this way. After all, I could still find a new job, so it was not a big deal.

Mo Fei was stunned when she heard the words, Long Shan quickly concealed the surprise in her expression and praised: “Young man, you are a good person, but you can rest assured that some things are not as bad as you think. I can assure you of this.”

I didn’t know why Long Shan wanted to say this to me, but I knew that this woman was really not simple. She could tell that most of my calmness was pretended. I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Smiling faintly, I said, “Please lead the way.”

“I will go with you.” Mo Fei knew that she couldn’t stop me from meeting Mo Yizhi, so she said: “If Uncle wants to fire Chu Nan, then fire me as well.”

I could understand Mo Fei’s feelings, but the more loyal she was to our friendship, it would make me feel more guilty. Although the profit of the investment was used to pay off Wu Xueqing’s loan, it was me who came up with this bad idea. Mo Fei was at best an accomplice.

I didn’t feel aggrieved, perhaps, because after confessing to Liusu, I have already considered leaving the company.

As Brother Wei said, I should leave Mo Fei, then I would know that I should cherish Liusu more. What happened today was a good excuse to leave, so that Mo Fei would not be embarrassed by my sudden resignation.

Before walking out of Mo Fei’s office, Song Jia subconsciously pulled my sleeves, and she also seemed to realize that after I left her, probably I would not come back again. There was a bit of reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes.

I secretly smiled and said see you later. It seemed easy, but was it really easy? It was really a shame that I would not be able to have a chit-chat with them before work in the future.

The chairman’s office was on the top floor. Apart from cleaners, those who entered and exited this floor were the elite of the company. Speaking of which, this was the first time I came to this floor.

In the quaint office, there was a faint smell of burning incense, which was probably intentional. The lighting in the room was not very good. The red curtains were very thick and half-open. In addition, the whole room seemed to be immersed in a heavy atmosphere, which made the office seemingly even more serious.

The first feeling I got from the atmosphere of this office was that Mo Yizhi was probably a very deep and dark person.

However, he actually wasn’t like that. Compared with the serious feeling that he gave off when people looked at him from afar, he looked like a smiling, kind old man. . . In other words, someone who looked a little old.

Mo Yizhi, who was over fifty years old, was a skinny person. With the traces of the vicissitudes of life left on his face, he actually gave people the illusion of being very old. Only his eyes were piercing and bright, exuding wise light.

In fact, if looking closely, one would notice that he had a good complexion. However, the gray hair, deep-set eye sockets, and obvious wrinkles made people involuntarily have this illusion.

“You are little Chu, right? Haha, please sit down, Shan’er, make us a pot of tea, just make the Oolong tea you brought back from Taiwan last time.” Mo Yizhi did not put on air like what I had imagined in mind. He was just like an old man who often played chess in the park, full of kindness. His voice was so loud that it startled me.

Mo Yizhi’s unexpected friendly attitude stunned me. Only after a while did I remember to greet him. “Hello, Chairman.”

“Sit down, sit down, don’t be restrained, hehe.” Mo Yizhi’s right leg was weak. It was said to be a problem he had since he was young, so he walked around the desk with a mahogany cane carved with a dragon pattern in his hand, and asked me to sit by the mahogany round table he used for tea and rest. He didn’t even look at Mo Fei who was standing next to me.

“Uncle. . .”

“Do you still know that I am your uncle?” Mo Yizhi interrupted Mo Fei angrily, but the tenderness and love in his eyes could not hide from anyone’s eyes, “Didn’t I tell you not to come to the company today? Why didn’t you listen to me?”

Mo Fei helped Mo Yizhi to sit down, and her two beautiful eyebrows were tightly pressed together. She took a quick glance at me, the apologetic look became even more obvious on her face, “I know what you want to do. So how can I sit at home? Uncle, I beg you, can you please. . .”

“No,” Mo Yizhi seemed to know what Mo Fei was going to say, and simply refused. Seeing tears in the corners of Mo Fei’s eyes, a flash of distress flashed across his haggard face, and he sighed: “Fei’er, the company has company regulations. You should go out first. Uncle wants to have a few words with Chu Nan.”

“The company has regulations, but we haven’t violated any, have we? Although it was indeed inappropriate, there was no need to fire him, right?” Mo Fei hurriedly said: “It was me who begged Chu Nan to do this. If you want to fire him, you can fire me too!”

“Nonsense!” Mo Yizhi said angrily, “Fengchang is the uncle’s whole life’s hard work. You are the future owner of Fengchang. Saying such nonsense, you want me to die in anger?”

The tears that Mo Fei tried very hard to hold back finally fell down, “But Chu Nan was trying to help me. If he needs to carry the blame, then, then I would rather. . . would rather. . .”

Although Mo Yizhi looked weak, his eyes were wide open and glaring at Mo Fei fiercely. Mo Fei was so scared that she didn’t dare to carry on.

What was this? Were they rehearsing some kind of play in front of me? I didn’t like the role that was assigned to me now, but I didn’t mind to be fooled by them. Before I left the company, I wanted to fulfill a selfish wish of mine – to make Mo Fei feel like she owed me and let my name stay in her heart longer. After all, she was the woman I once liked.

Maybe it had a little bit of vengeful mindset or maybe I had no respect for myself again.

“Fei Fei, can you leave first?” I calmly sat down opposite the chairman and said with a smile: “Actually, I had expected the outcome already, so you don’t have to feel guilty about it, otherwise it would make me feel embarrassed, ha ha.”

Mo Fei kept shaking her head and cried: “Chu Nan, you don’t know! You don’t know anything at all!”

I didn’t expect Mo Fei’s reaction to be so big. I was taken aback, thinking that probably she was trying to hint at me that I should deny everything about the investment in front of Mo Yizhi, so she could persuade Mo Yizhi. After all, they were a family.

However, I have decided to leave. From Liusu’s attitude yesterday, I could tell that she always had some suspicions about the relationship between me and Mo Fei. Therefore, leaving was probably a matter that would happen sooner or later. So why not take this opportunity to leave the company?

I shook my head to Mo Fei and said lightly: “One should have the courage to take the blame for what they did. Lying to other people is not scary. Although it is shameless, at least the people who lied know that they were lying. But the scary thing is that those who are lying to themselves. It will only make them refuse to accept reality.”

I deliberately said it tactfully, so as not to embarrass Mo Fei in front of Mo Yizhi. But I didn’t expect that but this sentence stunned the three people present.

I didn’t know if Mo Fei understood it or not, her thin pale lips trembled slightly. She seemed to want to talk, but hesitant, as if she didn’t know how to change my mind. Mo Yizhi on the other hand clapped his hand and said while his eyes were filled with appreciation, “It will only make them refuse to accept reality. Well said, well said.”

Long Shan placed a set of tea sets on the mahogany round table. She also looked at me who was blushed with appreciation, and then said to Mo Fei: “Fei’er, if you feel guilty, you can find an opportunity to properly apologize to Chu Nan in the future.”

Well said my ass. You were still firing me anyway.

“I. . .” Mo Fei’s tears were already like the beads broken beads necklace, falling constantly, “I’m sorry, Chu Nan, I. . . I. . . I am not worthy to be your friend!” After that, she cried out loud, hiding her face in her palms, and rushed out of the office.

“Fei’er!”

Long Shan wanted to chase out, but was stopped by Mo Yizhi, “Shan’er, leave her alone.”

No matter how dull I was, I felt Mo Fei’s reaction was too exaggerated, and I couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Chairman, Fei Fei. . . I mean, Ms. Mo…?”

“If you still think of her as a friend, call her Fei Fei,” Mo Yizhi answered the question. He let out a long sigh, “Since her father passed away, apart from her mom, you are the only person who called her ‘Fei Fei’. . .”
