Chapter 292: Chapter 293 It’s Not A Diet, It’s A Hunger Strike!

Seeing me frowning, Zhen Nuo smiled and put on her sunglasses. I didn’t know why I felt like the reason why she put on the sunglasses was not to cover the injury on her face, but to hide her slyness in her eyes. “In that case, I will thank Mr. Chu in advance. Once again, I’m sorry for disturbing you today. I think it is time for us to leave now.”

“Wait!” I stopped Zhen Nuo, who was about to go downstairs, while cursing secretly how sly this woman was, “if I see Dongfang, how should I contact you?”

As the old saying goes, the closer one is to complete a task, the tougher it gets. I didn’t really plan to contact her, but if I didn’t ask this question, it would definitely arouse her suspicion.

It was just a small trick, and both Zhen Nuo and I were using it.

With a serious expression, I said sternly, “If I see her, I will first confirm if what you said is true. If she really did something wrong, I will personally bring her to you and make her apologize to you, but if you bullied her… “I looked at Dong Xiaoye and then looked back at her, “we will also need an explanation from you.”

Even if her eyes were covered by the sunglasses, I could feel a trace of surprise flashing in Zhen Nuo’s eyes. Obviously, what I thought was right. She was testing me! And I was finally able to deceive her…

At the moment when Zhen Nuo was dazed, another relatively gentle bodyguard took out a business card from the pocket inside his jacket, “this is…”

“Ahem!”

Before the bodyguard had finished speaking, Zhen Nuo suddenly recovered her sense. She interrupted him with a dry cough and inexplicably glared at the bodyguard. Then she smiled at me and took out a pen and an exquisite booklet from her pocket. On one of the pages, she wrote a string of numbers, tore it off, and handed it to me, “this is my phone. It’s on 24 hours a day, so Mr. Chu can contact me at any time.”

“Okay…” I couldn’t help but frown, wouldn’t it be more convenient to give me a business card? What was she afraid of?

Until the three of them went downstairs, Dong Xiaoye, who was ignored for the fourth time, gnashed her white teeth and said angrily, “who is that woman? She is so arrogant!”

“Can’t you see that it’s the first time I met her?” I smiled bitterly, then walked into the flat sternly. After I saw the two pairs of sneakers next to the shoe cabinet at the door, I said coldly and loudly, “but it is easy to find out who she is? We just need to ask the person who knows about her?”

Dong Xiaoye was dazed, “who?”

I did not answer Dong Xiaoye, because Dong Xiaoye had already seen a pitiful little face slowly popping out from my room, “Elder Brother…”

“Yuan Yuan?” Dong Xiaoye was taken aback, “Why are you at home? So, those three people just now…” Dong Xiaoye was a policewoman after all, she quickly figured out what happened. Even if she liked Chu Yuan, she couldn’t help but frown, “where is Little Dongfang?”

Chu Yuan walked out of the room dejectedly, and the person following behind her was exactly the Dongfang little brat that Zhen Nuo was looking for?

“Hello, Elder Brother Nan, Elder Sister Dong…”

Was this girl who looked listless and haggard really Dongfang Lianren? I was sure she was, but I was still in disbelief. I only hadn’t seen her for a few days, but she had completely lost her former lively spirit. She seemed weaker and thinner, and her skin became paler like snow. She had always been fashionable and avant-garde, but now only did she not have makeup on, but she looked like she hadn’t even changed her clothes for three days. Her school uniform was wrinkled, dirty, and her shoulder-length hair was messy. Fortunately, the window was closed now, otherwise, the birds that flew by would definitely mistakenly think that it was their own nest…

At this moment, the originally exquisite and lovely Barbie-like Dongfang was like a tattered plush toy that was being picked up by a stray dog from the garbage dump. Seeing the dirty, disheveled, and pitiful appearance of her, it made my anger disappear instantly without a trace. After she greeted us, she suddenly fell forward weakly. Dong Xiaoye and I reacted at the same time, and hurriedly rushed forward to hold her.

“What happened? Dongfang, are you sick?” I checked Dongfang’s forehead with my hand. She didn’t have a fever…

*Growling…*

Everyone in the room could clearly hear a strange growling noise from Dongfang’s belly. The little girl blushed and looked at me embarrassedly. She said weakly, “Elder Brother Nan, I’m not sick, I’m just hungry…”

This reason made me very speechless…

Chu Yuan held back her tears, pouted her lips, and said distressed, “Elder Brother, Dongfang hasn’t eaten for three days…”

“Three days?” Dong Xiaoye was more than distressed. Her eyes almost teared up, “how can you go on a diet for three days? You are still growing, you need to eat more…”

This stupid woman! Sister Tiger clearly lost all her ability to think as soon as she saw a loli. Who said she was on a diet? No matter how one looked at her, she was much worse than being on a diet, right?

The way women thought about problems was really incomprehensible to men, and Chu Yuan was also the same. Whenever words like ‘cake’, ‘chocolate’ or ‘diet’ were mentioned, the first thing that came to her mind was her own weight. To my surprise, Sister Tiger actually cared about this too. It could be seen that although she was very wild, she still cared about some problems that normal women cared about…

“I’m not on a diet,” Dongfang was helped by us to sit on the sofa, her voice was weak, but she said slowly, “I’m on a hunger strike.”

“What? !” Dong Xiaoye blurted out, “hunger strike?”

I was also shocked. What happened? Why would she use such a cruel method to torture herself? Seeing Chu Yuan having a gloomy expression, the expression on my face also became very serious.

After thinking about it, I interrupted Dong Xiaoye who was trying to ask more questions. No matter for what reason, I just looked at Dongfang Lianren indifferently and scolded disdainfully, “hunger strike my ass. Who are you trying to scare? A little brat will always be a little brat. All you know is to use a childish way to solve problems.”

Without waiting for Dongfang Lianren’s reply, I turned to Chu Yuan and scolded, “and you, Yuan Yuan, since you know she is hungry, why don’t you make something for her to eat? Is the refrigerator in the kitchen just a toy? Go and see what you can make, and make something for her to eat first.”

It was not that I wanted to brag about myself. Although I didn’t know anything about ordinary women, I did have a lot of experience with problematic girls, because my little sister was the most problematic girl. Many years of ‘struggle’ had allowed me to accumulate very rich experience, so I knew how to deal with difficult little girls of extreme personalities. No matter what it was, one should not push those kinds of girls too hard. They were so extreme because of their self-esteem and stubbornness. Of course, in their opinion, those things were called pride.

At the moment, if I asked her what happened, she definitely would not tell me because of this pride. But if I pretend that I didn’t care, it would only make her want to tell me even more.

Dongfang couldn’t believe that I would say this. She instantly wanted to retort me, but if she wanted to retort me, she would need to explain what happened, so she didn’t know what to say for a while.

Chu Yuan at this moment finally remembered that she had already prepared the meal and said, “I completely forgot about it. I have already prepared the food, but we didn’t dare to eat anything when we heard someone banging on the door.”

Dong Xiaoye frowned when she heard the words. She who was already angry held back her anger and tried her best to speak calmly, “who are these three people? Little Dongfang, do you know them?”

Dongfang Lianren’s weak body trembled, and her expression suddenly became complicated. I could see that it was Dong Xiaoye’s identity and the way of questioning that gave her a lot of the pressure.

“Xiaoye, why are you asking her this?” I winked at Dong Xiaoye and said, “when she is willing to speak, she will tell us herself. Let her eat something first.”

Dong Xiaoye was careless, but she wasn’t insensitive. She immediately understood what I meant, stood up, and smiled, “you are right, haha, Little Dongfang, don’t worry, if anyone bullies you, you can tell me, I will help you to punish them.”

Of course, we had too many questions, but now was not the time to pursue answers. Since Dongfang Lianren came to my flat, it meant that she had given up on a hunger strike. This was a sign of giving up persistence. In addition, in order to prevent me from ‘betraying’ her, or kicking her out of my flat, she would definitely give me an explanation soon.

“Thank you sister Xiaoye, thank you Elder Brother Nan…”

“Elder Brother…” Chu Yuan also held my arm gratefully.

I pretended to be helpless and sighed, “hurry up and give Dongfang something to eat.”

“Okay, I’ll do it right now!” Chu Yuan ran into the kitchen happily.

I turned to Dong Xiaoye and said, “Xiaoye, you said you have important things to discuss with me, can you tell me now?”

Dong Xiaoye walked up to the chair, supported her cheek with one arm, rolled her eyes lazily, and said, “well, I thought someone doesn’t want to hear it?”

I took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, threw it to Dong Xiaoye across the table, and smiled, “didn’t I apologize for it already?”

Dong Xiaoye was a little flustered, but still caught the Coke with one hand, and snorted dissatisfied.

Dongfang Lianren looked at me, and then at Dong Xiaoye. Although we changed the subject to discuss our business, her expression clearly showed a trace of relief.
