Chapter 24

A chime rang out, and Xiao Chen answered the phone.

"Hey, Su Qing, are you done with your work?"

Hearing it was her sister's call, Su Xiaomeng perked up her ears, wanting to listen to what was being said on the other end.

"Not yet, are you and Xiaomeng at home?" Su Qing's voice sounded a bit tired.

"No, we are..." Xiao Chen said, but then saw Su Xiaomeng waving her hands, and changed his words: "We are having dinner, and will go home after we finish."

Hearing Xiao Chen say this, Su Xiaomeng visibly relaxed. If her sister found out they were out racing, she would definitely be unhappy!

"Okay, then be careful. I just received another email."

Xiao Chen frowned and asked in a low voice, "What does it say?"

"It's another threat, saying I'll be in trouble within a week."

"A week? Then we'll just wait and see!" Xiao Chen sneered. He wasn't afraid of the other side making a move; he was afraid they wouldn't!

An unknown enemy lurking in the dark is often the most terrifying, so Xiao Chen was eager for them to make a move!

Then, we'll see who is the better one when we face off!

"Okay, let's talk about it when we meet. I need to get back to work."

"Alright." Xiao Chen nodded, hung up the phone, and narrowed his eyes. Are they finally going to show up?

"What did my sister say to you?"

Seeing Xiao Chen hang up the phone and remain silent, Su Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing much, just asking what we were doing..."

"Really?"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Xiao Chen with a suspicious gaze.

"Of course, why would I lie to you!" Xiao Chen smiled: "I even lied to your sister, saying we were having dinner outside... So, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll treat you!"

"I want seafood."

"Okay, let's have seafood." Xiao Chen nodded: "After dinner, we'll go to the company to pick up your sister! Remember, don't let it slip that we went racing!"

Su Xiaomeng pouted: "Do you think I'm stupid? I definitely won't say anything!"

"Heh, good, then let's keep it our little secret. I won't tell your sister about your early romance either."

"Who's in an early romance?!" Su Xiaomeng glared, almost jumping up: "I'm not in an early romance at all!"

"Yin He likes you, doesn't he? That counts as an early romance!"

"Does liking me mean it's an early romance?"

"Sure does!"

"Tch, by your logic, I was in an early romance in kindergarten!" Su Xiaomeng said irritably.

"Hey, Xiaomeng, can you not exaggerate so much?"

"It's true, I was naturally beautiful, and a bunch of boys liked me in kindergarten!"

"Alright, alright, you're loved by everyone, and flowers bloom for you, okay?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh. This girl was too narcissistic!

With Yin He's harassment out of the way, Su Xiaomeng's mood improved, and her attitude toward Xiao Chen wasn't as hostile. Especially since she had a little plan in mind; if she was too hostile, it would definitely ruin everything!

The two chatted casually, and eventually, the conversation turned back to the race.

"Xiao Chen, can you teach me how to drive?"

Seeing the right moment, Su Xiaomeng finally brought up her little plan.

"No!"

To Su Xiaomeng's surprise, Xiao Chen refused without hesitation.

"Why?!"

"Little girls shouldn't play with cars; it's too dangerous!"

"Who says girls can't play with cars!" Su Xiaomeng was unhappy: "That's gender discrimination!"

"Alright, alright, don't make it such a big deal. I don't discriminate based on gender..."

"Then teach me, okay? Big Brother Chen, I'll call you Big Brother Chen from now on, okay? I won't chase you away anymore..."

Xiao Chen shook his head: "You should call me Big Brother Chen. I won the race and helped you with Yin He... As for you chasing me away, heh, I didn't want to leave, could you make me leave?"

"..."

Hearing this, Su Xiaomeng was so angry her teeth ached. Although it was true, he didn't have to say it! It was too much of a bully!

But thinking about Xiao Chen's amazing driving skills, she could only grit her teeth and force a smile: "Big Brother Chen, if you teach me how to drive, we'll get along well from now on, okay?"

"Not really."

"Did you come to Longhai to pursue my sister? If you teach me, I'll help you win her over, okay?" Su Xiaomeng, in a hurry, blurted out.

Screech!

Xiao Chen slammed on the brakes, the car jolted, almost hitting the curb: "What did you say?"

"I said, if you teach me how to drive, I'll help you win over my sister..."

Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, Su Xiaomeng thought she had hit the mark and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Bastard, you really had ulterior motives... A toad lusting after a swan. Once I learn, I'll kick you out!

"Cough, Xiaomeng, I swear, I don't have any designs on your sister! I came to Longhai purely because..."

Xiao Chen stopped suddenly, some things he couldn't tell Su Xiaom.

At the same time, he was secretly on guard, almost being tricked by this little girl. He needed to be more careful in the future.

"Because of what? What are you and my sister hiding from me?"

Sure enough, Su Xiaomeng stared at Xiao Chen, pressing for an answer.

"Um, nothing, I was discharged from the military, had no job, and your brother sent me here. One, to protect you and your sister, and two, to find a place to eat." Xiao Chen said casually.

"You're lying!"

"No, it's true."

"Even though I have small breasts, I'm not a child... I'm asking you one last time, why? If you don't tell me, I'll ask my sister!"

"..."

Xiao Chen was taken aback by Su Xiaomeng's first sentence. Just as he was about to tease her, he saw her serious expression and swallowed his words. This wasn't going to be easy!

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Xiao Chen was silent for a few seconds, then repeated what he had told Su Qing: "Half a month ago, your sister called your brother, saying she was in trouble and hoped he could come back to help her..."

"Trouble?" Su Xiaomeng frowned after hearing this: "Could it be them?"

Xiao Chen was taken aback and quickly asked, "Who are they? What do you know?"

"The Su family!" Su Xiaomeng's eyes turned cold: "If my sister is in trouble, the biggest trouble probably comes from the Su family!"

"The Su family?" Xiao Chen repeated, then his heart skipped a beat: "The Longhai Su family?!"

"You've heard of the Su family?"

"Is it really that Su family?" Xiao Chen asked, surprised.

"There's only one Su family in Longhai!"

Xiao Chen's eyes widened: "You... are from the Longhai Su family?"

"Once, but not anymore!" Su Xiaomeng's face turned cold, her voice icy, "We are us, and the Su family is the Su family!"
