231 — BaiFumei's Delusional Cousin Brother

Fen Sizhong held back the sudden burst of anger he felt. Dage? Did she think he was that old? He was only eight years older than her, a handsome aristocrat in his twenties. How could she address him as if he was old?

Indeed she was too young, and young children were like brats. Once they started dating, he would teach her well.

So without giving anything away, he smiled and nodded, "It's been a long time. Remember you used to call me gege whenever we met at events?"

Of course Li Lianmo could not remember. Setting aside the fact that she was young back then, how many times did they really meet?

It was only because his father was the president of one of the lucrative companies under the Li Conglomerate that she still had a slight recollection of him.

Her father used to appreciate his father very much back then. But as she grew up, the relationship wasn't as close as before, and the amount of times they met got lesser and lesser, so this man in front of her was at most a mere acquaintance.

Still, she didn't want to be impolite and merely smiled while changing the topic, "How's Uncle Fen doing? And Changmei?" referring to the younger daughter, who used to be her playmate.

When Fen Sizhong said they were doing well and that his father even sent his regards, Li Lianmo raised her brows.

En, something felt weird.

But she didn't dwell on it too much. Engrossed with the joy of seeing her friend again, they soon sat down to chat after ordering coffee and snacks.

When two friends who hadn't seen each other for a while sat down together, the range of topics would be endless.

Unknowingly time passed by as they talked, and Fen Sizhong sat forgotten by the side.

After more than an hour, he could no longer bear it. He sent Fen Fumei a text message, saying he had something to do at the office and she needed to say goodbye.

When she read the text, Fen Fumei rolled her eyes.

She didn't ask her cousin brother to bring her here anyway, why was he still waiting? But she couldn't say that to him. She had discovered that this cousin brother was quite petty, and not in a good way, so she didn't want to annoy him.

If it wasn't for Lianmo, she wouldn't have endured this group of relatives whose eyes were higher than the sky.

Besides, the look he exchanged with her Uncle before they left the house was quite suspicious. Although she didn't understand it, she knew that if he complained about her to his father, the holiday would become unbearable.

So after a few more minutes, she regretfully told her friend that she had to go, but that they could meet up more frequently, since she would not be returning until the holidays were almost over.

Happy, Li Lianmo quickly agreed. With the prospect of seeing her friend more regularly, City M no longer felt boring. In fact, she was looking forward to the coming days.

She thought that they could even fly back to school together after the holidays. The idea was good and she planned to ask her friend later.

Unexpectedly, the next two dates they went on, Fen Sizhong was still present. She found it weird. Except for the bathroom, he would follow them wherever else they went. Just now when they went to the mall to shop, he still walked behind them like a bodyguard.

Even if it was because your cousin sister does not know her way around City M, doesn't your family have a single driver? What about your sister? How could you be troubled to act as a driver every day for a relative? Aren't you busy?

The above questions were directed to Fen Sizhong in a genuinely curious tone of voice, making him turn red with anger but unable to display it.

They were currently sitting in a restaurant for lunch. Li Lianmo was the one treating, but Fen Sizhong firmly offered to pay for it. Li Lianmo didn't see it as a big deal. She only declined once before accepting with peace of mind.

Anyway, he was the one rushing to pay for a meal he wasn't even eating, what did it have to do with her?

After calming himself down, Fen Sizhong forced a smile and said, "Xiao Mo, I just felt it was good to see you after such a long time, that's why I volunteered to drive her. Besides, the company can do well without me. I pay them a lot after all."

Li Lianmo concealed her disinterest and dislike of that nauseating nickname, just nodding instead, "I see."

After that phrase, she continued to speak with her friend and ignored him again, making him seethe with anger. This girl was really rude.

But truly, he had to make progress. After discussing with his father, he understood that this matter was of utmost importance, so he had to act fast.

He decided that he couldn't keep accompanying the two brats like a third wheel forever. He had to up his game.

So on that particular morning, when the next time the two friends were supposed to meet came, only Fen Sizhong was waiting at the agreed meeting spot.

After looking around and not seeing her friend, she asked, "What of BaiFumei?"

Even as Fen Sizhong smirked at the tacky name, he responded, "She had to accompany my sister to the hospital urgently, so she couldn't come. She asked me to come and apologize to you."

Li Lianmo wondered aloud while checking her phone, "Was it so urgent that she couldn't even drop a message?"

Fen Sizhong's eyes flashed, "Maybe she was too worried and forgot."

Li Lianmo stared at him with a weird look, the implication being 'even a cousin sister can be so worried that she would forget something so simple, but you the biological brother still feels leisurely enough to come here? Is being a driver/errand boy a hobby of yours?'

But she didn't voice her thoughts out loud. Her mother was never against roasting people that deserved it, but it had to be done "politely" and with decorum.

So she just smiled dryly and said, "Sizhong dage is this worry free, so I'm sure Changmei will be fine. I really admire your breadth of mind."

How could Fen Sizhong not sense the mockery beneath her words? But he had plans to set in motion, so he forced a smile at her.

'Calm, I have to remain calm. Impatience ruins great plans,' he chanted mentally.
