Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 336: Chapter 337 Cousin-in-law...

The first impression Shu Tong’s parents gave to people was simple, his father was simple, honest, not good with words, but his occasional stern look made Shu Tong very nervous.

After the natural airhead called him ‘dad’, she no longer dared to look at him anymore. However, when her father saw me, this fake boyfriend, he didn’t even know what to say to me.

In front of city people like Liusu and me, his low self-esteem and feeling of inferiority were revealed all on his face. He appeared to be very nervous and restrained, making me unable to help but sigh from time to time. There was no such thing as noble city people and lowly village people, everyone was equal in this world. I almost wanted to tell him that if it weren’t for the fact that I had to go back to work today, I’d be wearing the same cheap Adidas knockoff T-shirt he was wearing now…

As a man, I really couldn’t stand Shu Tong’s father’s low self-esteem. His timid and envious gaze made me feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Shu Tong’s mother was very talkative. Moreover, she seemed to be a very enthusiastic woman. After she greeted Liusu, she looked at me up and down and said, “Tong Tong, this young man is Chu Nan… Mr. Chu you told me over the phone, right?”

‘Mr. Chu? Not bad.’ Originally, I thought that I would need to call myself Liu Xiaosheng, but it turned out that Shu Tong’s family didn’t know about Liu Xiaosheng at all. Thinking of this, I actually felt sorry for Liu Xiaosheng. He had been chasing Shu Tong for almost a year, but her family still didn’t even know who he was…

Although Shu Tong must have practiced the answer many times in advance, when she really helped the grey-haired old woman walk out of the station, she couldn’t speak naturally like her mother.

Her mother had just asked me if I was ‘Chu Nan’, and it was not like she was asking me if I was Liu Xiaosheng, she just needed to reply honestly. However, she still acted very nervously.

“Uh, mhm, he was… the person I was talking about…” She replied intermittently, without any confidence at all.

“Auntie, uncle, grandma, hello,” if I relied on her to introduce me to her family intermittently using the voice that was as low as if it was made by a mosquito, probably, it would not be far from the exposure of this entire plan.

The most important thing was that as soon as she got nervous, her father became even more nervous. From the look on his face, it was like he was about to fall apart. So I subconsciously took the initiative to greet them and took over the stuff they brought with them, “You must be very tired after the journey. Let me carry those things for you. Hehe, by the way, you can call me Xiao Chu or Little Chu.”

Although Shu Tong’s mother knew that I was a fake boyfriend, she still couldn’t help but feel a little flattered, “No need, we are not tired. We can do it ourselves.”

“It’s okay, I’m young, you can let me carry them.” I pretended to glance at Shu Tong and said tremblingly, “If you don’t give me a chance to perform, Tong Tong will get angry at me.”

Tong Tong… Not to mention Shu Tong, I also couldn’t help but shiver all over. There were even visible goosebumps on my skin.

Shu Tong’s mother couldn’t help but chuckle, but Shu Tong’s father frowned when he heard what I called Shu Tong. He didn’t seem to like smooth-tongued people, but thinking that I was just acting, he no longer kept it in mind.

“This child is really sensible.” The grey-haired old woman smiled from ear to ear. Probably because of what I said, the more she looked at me, the more she seemed to like me. The trace of worry that she had in her eyes when she just came out of the station was no longer there.

Maybe such unfounded liking was not a good thing, but it showed that they were simple people even more.

“Yes, auntie, let him carry it,” Liusu glanced at me and said with a smile: “Uncle, give him your stuff too, he is a strong young man after all.”

“How can we do that? He is here to…” Shu Tong’s mother almost spilled the beans.

“He’s my cousin’s boyfriend. Isn’t it normal for him to help you carry stuff?” Liusu said while winking at Shu Tong’s mother, “There is no need to be polite with him. Grandma will get tired after standing for a long time. Let’s talk after we get in the car.”

Fortunately, the initial meeting was successful, and I didn’t blow my cover. But judging from the reaction of Shu Tong’s mother, she didn’t seem to know the relationship between me and Liusu, so she was a little unusually polite to me.

When we went to the parking lot to pick up the car, Shu Tong and I carried the stuff they brought from the village while leading the way. This was Shu Tong’s grandma’s idea. She insisted that Shu Tong should carry their stuff with me, and then Liusu would help her walk.

On the surface, it seemed like she had a lot of things that she wanted to talk to Liusu about, but in fact, her eyes had been locked on me and Shu Tong. I deliberately walked faster to get a little distance away, and whispered to Shu Tong, who walked side by side with me and pretended to be intimate with me, “You didn’t tell your parents that I am actually your future cousin-in-law?”

“Bah, who said you are my future cousin-in-law? Whether my cousin wants to be with you or not is still not certain!”

I said seriously, “don’t avoid my question.”

“I didn’t avoid your question,” Shu Tong said in a huff, “First, have you ever officially admitted that my cousin is your girlfriend? You didn’t, right? Since you didn’t, you think she would call herself your girlfriend? Second… I came to ask you when I had no other choice. I also didn’t want to lie to my grandma. My mom and dad were already very angry, but if I told them that you are Liusu’s boyfriend…. My dad would definitely beat me to death. After all, this kind of thing is very absurd.”

I was very surprised by her questioning attitude. Since she knew it was absurd, why did she come to me for help? !

“Cousin-in-law! Cousin-in-law!”

“Huh?” I came back to my senses after Liusu called out to me twice. When she said cousin-in-law, it turned out that she was calling me.

Hearing those words, I felt very complicated. She could clearly call me by my name, but she deliberately chose to call me this. She was clearly trying to torment me. She was trying to mock me for cheating on her indirectly, right?

Liusu took the old woman’s arm, pointed at the white BMW beside her, and said to Shu Tong and me, “The car is parked here, where are you two going?”

Shu Tong and I looked at each other, both of us blushed… Damn it, because we were thinking something else, we actually walked past the car.

After seeing the car, we discovered a very serious problem. At most, the car could fit up to five people, but we had six people at the moment…

A very complicated matter often had mistakes in the simplest place, because people always habitually focused all their attention on the most complicated areas, thus neglecting some common-sense problems. And this was the mistake we made.

The three of us held a small meeting in low voices while we stuffed the luggage into the trunk. Liusu still didn’t want to talk to me. She turned to talk to Shu Tong, blaming her for not letting me drive the Honda minivan. But Shu Tong blamed me for not staying at home. If she hadn’t gone to Fengchang to find me, she wouldn’t have changed her mind and asked me to drive my BMW instead. In terms of me, I had no choice but to suffer in silence.

“This car is… BMW?” All men love cars, just like women love clothes. Fortunately, Shu Tong didn’t show any sign of wanting to get in the car right away, so the three of us had time to discuss solutions.

“It must be very expensive.” There was a distressed expression on his face. He probably thought that we deliberately rented this car to fool the old woman.

“It’s not that much money. The car belongs to Chu Nan. There are several better ones in his company.” Shu Tong lied without even feeling embarrassed. She must be worried that her parents would get angry at her for spending so much money to rent an expensive car just to cover up a lie, so she decided to lie to her parents again and told them that it was my car.

As expected, her parents looked at me in astonishment, making me, who didn’t feel guilty originally, feel very guilty.

But Shu Tong felt more guilty than me. She didn’t even dare to look me in the eyes. She could only hurriedly whisper to me in a low voice, “Let’s find someplace to eat something first. Then you tell them that you have something else to do in the company and send them to the hotel to rest. Anyway, my grandma has already seen you, so you just need to show your face again at the hotel at night, then your mission is basically completed. As for the car, let’s just try to squeeze up a bit. I think we can fit six people in the car.”

“What do you mean by trying to squeeze up a bit?” Liusu hurriedly said, “did you not see that grandma doesn’t look well, not to mention that she has car sickness… I think it’s better that I take a taxi. You can just tell them that I got something else to do and I need to leave first.”

“That’s not appropriate.” I rejected it in a hurry. She had been hiding from me for two days, now that I finally had the opportunity to meet her, how would I let her go? “I have something to tell you…”

“Does it have to be today?” Perhaps because the panic in my face softened Liusu’s heart, she eventually said, “then what do you think we should do? You also see the size of my uncle and grandma, fitting five people into the car is already a problem.”

“This…”

Just when I was trying to think of a solution, I heard Shu Tong’s mother ask, “Xiao Chu, can this car fit all of us?”

“Huh?” I instinctively replied, “of course it can.”

Shu Tong complained in a low voice, “If I knew it would be like this, I would’ve asked you to drive the Honda minivan.”
