C145 – Nong Mobai
“I’ll address this when we get home.”
He believed he could avoid it by staying silent, but Huangfu Shao was determined to discuss the matter.
“I’m not about to pounce on you. You’re overreacting, bro!” Huangfu Qiao complained, mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
However, he couldn’t summon the courage to meet Huangfu Shao’s gaze and instead mumbled softly.
Even his murmurs reached Huangfu Shao’s ears, prompting a furrowed brow.
“It’s because I haven’t been strict enough with you lately, so you, Huangfu Qiao, think you can get away with it, huh?!”
If any disagreement arose, he would use threats on Huangfu Qiao, fearing that Huangfu Qiao might do the same.
“I can keep quiet! You can be mad at yourself! I’ll check if Xiaojie has woken up.” Wu Tie, now visibly irritated for the first time, left the room, showing little concern for Huangfu Shao.
Even though Elina might not have the sharpest mind, her intuition was spot-on.
“How do you know she wasn’t eavesdropping? Were you simply watching us and listening to our conversation?”
Nong Mobai suddenly laughed, or it appeared so! But his laughter was more unsettling than if he hadn’t smiled at all. It was clear that Nong Mobai disliked Xiao Yi, possibly even more than he did Elina.
Perhaps it was due to Nong Mobai’s delinquent tendencies that he formed such opinions. Seeing things differently, he deemed Xiao Yi as untrustworthy and cunning.
Despite being Mu Sifa’s friend, this man seemed, in Nong Mobai’s eyes, to have questionable intentions. Now, he unexpectedly spoke up for Elina. What was his agenda?
It appears I’ll need to investigate his background. After all, Mu Sifa is his brother, and I can’t stand by while he’s bullied.
“I just happened to pass by. If you think I was eavesdropping, then I have nothing to say.” Xiao Yi remained calm and composed, just as Elina had been eavesdropping on Nong Mobai and the others earlier.
Heh! He really knew how to put on a show! Like I’m the one bullying him, that little brat.
“Do you think I have the capability to accuse you of eavesdropping?” Nevertheless, if it was indeed eavesdropping, there’s no escaping it. Do you want to check the surveillance footage? I hope the cameras won’t conveniently malfunction this time, do they?” Nong Mo’s words carried a lazy, smile, but it felt like a chilling gust of wind. It successfully made Xiao Yi and Elina exchange alarmed glances.
