Chapter 26: Who Let You Come?

  Luo Xiaotong's eyes widened in surprise: "Your sister? Which sister of yours? Didn't you say you were the only one in your family?"

  "It's just me now," Xiao Ye sighed and said, "You also know that I had a sister before, who looked exactly like me." As she spoke, she took out her wallet. Before Luo Xiaotong could understand what she was doing, Xiao Ye handed him a photo. "This is my sister," Xiao Ye said.

  Luo Xiaotong took a look and was surprised in her heart, wasn't this Xiao Ye?

  "Is this really your sister?" Luo Xiaotong asked suspiciously, looking closely at Xiao Ye. They looked alike, it was really too similar. It was as if they were the same person, which was simply unimaginable.

  Xiaoye nodded: "Her name is Chunlv, I'm Xiaoye, my mom said she's Honghua, we two green leaves supported her, our home was complete. But 15 years ago, my sister passed away, and our home has been dull and lifeless ever since." As she spoke, Xiaoye's eyes welled up with tears.

  Lu Xiaotong took a look and thought to herself, "This won't do. Crying in front of the government building will only lead to all sorts of speculation." She glanced around to see if anyone was watching, then nudged Xiao Ye's hand: "Sister, don't be like this. You're inviting me, aren't you? Let's go now."

  Not yet gone, a person came out of the building, it was Chen Hua. He saw Xiaoye from upstairs and ran down with lightning speed, forgetting that as a leader he should be walking slowly and steadily, and almost fell at the door. With a big smile, he hurried to Xiaoye's front: "Xiaoye sister, what wind blew you here?" Although they were more than ten years apart, when speaking, he used the emphasis of young people, Luo Xiaotong felt goosebumps all over his body after hearing it. At this age, still wanting to like girls like Xiaoye, it's really an old cow wanting to eat tender grass. It seems that he was used to whoring and thought it was boring, so he wanted to play with a virtuous girl. Thinking about it, Luo Xiaotong felt nauseous. However, thinking is one thing, but Luo Xiaotong still had a smile on his face: "Mayor, Xiaoye came looking for me."

  Chen Hua didn't hear it at all, if not for Luo Xiaotong's voice being too low, or Chen Hua was paying attention to Xiao Ye: "You're here looking for me, huh? Hehe, I knew it, little sister Xiao Ye would eventually understand."

  Xiao Ye felt a sense of disgust in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She wiped her eyes and said, "Town Chief, you misunderstood me. I'm here to find my brother." Chen Hua's old face, which had been weathered by decades of wind and sun, remained expressionless. He chuckled and said, "Your brother? Who is your brother?" It really didn't occur to him that Xiao Ye was referring to Luo Xiaotong.

  Xiao Ye didn't avoid the topic, pointing at Luo Xiao Tong with her hand. Chen Hua seemed to understand but was confused. Luo Xiao Tong is her brother, how could that be? Although she hadn't known Luo Xiao Tong for a long time, she had never heard him mention having such a sister. She smiled and looked at Luo Xiao Tong: "Is Xiao Ye your sister?" Luo Xiao Tong started to dislike Chen Hua but felt he shouldn't offend this person without reason, as he still needed her help. So he nodded his head, then cleverly shook it again. This left Chen Hua bewildered.

  "Hey kid, stop mumbling," said in a low tone, pulling out the mayor's attitude.

  "Town head, don't get me wrong, we are siblings who just got to know each other." Chen Hua finally understood and smiled: "I see, it's good that you have a brother like you to take care of Little Ye, I'm at ease." He turned his head to look at Little Ye, only to find her eyes moistened, and he felt unhappy: "Little Tong, how did you upset Little Ye? Let me tell you, she is my most favorite sister, the most precious girl in my heart, and will be your sister-in-law in the future. If you make her unhappy, it's like making me unhappy."

  His face is really thick enough, Luo Xiaotong couldn't help but admire Chen Hua. It seems that being a leader requires having a skin that can't be pierced by a needle. Nodding and smiling, he said: "Don't worry, Mayor, I don't dare."

  Xiao Ye, however, was not finished: "Town Head, don't say that. I have nothing to do with you, and no matter what, I won't have anything to do with you." This sentence was quite revealing, and Chen Hua's face turned white one moment and red the next. However, after so many years of navigating the bureaucracy, being scolded by a superior was not a new experience for him. He could take it, thinking of it as just another criticism. With an awkward smile: "Little Ye sister, I understand what you mean, I know. But your disagreement now doesn't mean you'll oppose it in the future. You will agree."

  He pulled Luo Xiaotong aside and lowered his voice to the lowest: "Xiaotong, you also know that Xiaoye is the girl I like, don't compete with me for her, don't have ideas about her."

  "Mayor, don't worry, how could I? Besides, I never thought of doing anything."

  From his expression, Chen Hua determined that Luo Xiaotong was not lying and felt much more at ease. He patted Luo Xiaotong's shoulder: "This is my good brother." Luo Xiaotong suddenly felt happy in his heart: "If you, Chen Hua, don't help me, I'll snatch your woman. This is the condition, also a bargaining chip." Hehe laughed: "Brother, what else do you have to order?"

  "Help me out," Chen Hua thought Luo Xiaotong could help with his emotional matters: "Think of a way to persuade Xiao Ye, let her agree."

  "Alright, okay, bro, I'll try my best."

  Chen Hua smiled: "Brother, I'm counting on you." He turned around and looked at Xiao Ye: "What did you come to find Xiao Tong for?"

  "Town head, I'm just an ordinary citizen, do I need to report to you on what I do?" Xiao Ye's face was gloomy, without a hint of sunshine, making Chen Hua feel somewhat embarrassed. However, for the sake of the future, he could only hold back: "I was just casually asking, since you don't want to say, then I'll shut up." He glanced at Luo Xiaotong, made a facial expression, cleared his throat, and went back upstairs.

  Walked to the place where two people couldn't see, suddenly exerted force, rushed into the office, and saw Luo Xiaotong and Xiao Ye walking out of the government compound. The heart was not feeling well. However, thinking about it, Luo Xiaotong didn't dare to disobey his own intentions either, maybe he would slowly persuade Xiao Ye, thinking so, felt a bit relieved.

  Xiao Ye walked quickly, and Luo Xiao Tong followed closely behind. In fact, he only needed to quicken his pace a bit to walk alongside Xiao Ye, but Luo Xiao Tong deliberately didn't. Walking behind her, he could freely admire Xiao Ye without any restraint. Looking at Xiao Ye's back, Luo Xiao Tong felt an inexplicable fondness in his heart. No wonder Chen Hua was infatuated with her; just this back view alone would captivate a large group of men. Luo Xiao Tong's heart felt warm and fuzzy; he thought to himself that even if Chen Hua racked his brains, he wouldn't be able to achieve the same result, yet he coincidentally got to walk so close to Xiao Ye. Perhaps this was fate. Thinking this, he became excited.

  "Little Ye, why did you come find me so late?" There was a hint of blame in her words.

  Xiao Ye didn't turn back: "I forgot."

  Lu Xiaotong was bewildered: "I forgot how I got back?"

  "My sister told me to come." Xiaoye turned her head, looked at Lu Xiaotong, and there was a hint of sweetness in her eyes. Lu Xiaotong didn't quite believe what she said, thinking that Xiaoye didn't need to say this, if she came to find him, just admit it, they were all young people, everyone should be open-minded, what era is this, still being coy?

  The government is just a short distance from a small restaurant, which is not doing well. The owner of this restaurant has placed his business here in the hope that the government officials will spend their money on food and drink, but those people are too clever to let the townspeople know about their corruption, so they always go elsewhere to indulge. As a result, the owner's plan fell through. However, since he had already opened for business, he couldn't just close up shop easily, so he could only keep going. When he saw customers coming in, he naturally welcomed them with open arms. Luo Xiaotong walked in and immediately struck a pose of great experience: "Boss, do you have any private rooms?"

  The boss was a woman, with some charm. She smiled and looked at the two people: "Yes, of course, what kind of restaurant doesn't have private rooms?" She led the two into a room, very spacious, and well-sealed: "Order now, after the dishes arrive, this will be your world." After finishing speaking, she chuckled and glanced at Little Ye with some ill intentions.

  Lu Xiaotong didn't look at him, but was thinking about whether he should show his masculine side. Although Xiao Ye said to invite himself, as a man, and it was their first meeting, he absolutely couldn't let the girl think he was stingy. So he took the menu and boldly ordered four dishes. The boss looked at it and was delighted - they were all high-end items. If there were several customers like this every day, his business might turn around quickly. He told the two to wait, and the food would be served soon. As he walked to the door, he turned back: "What wine will you two have?"

  "Beer," Luo Xiaotong replied.

  The boss went out, and Luo Xiaotong helped the chair next to him for Xiao Ye to sit. Xiao Ye did not object, but after sitting down, he moved the chair a little to the side. Luo Xiaotong naturally saw it, but pretended not to notice.

  "Xiao Ye, you just said it was your sister who told you to come, but I seem to have misheard?" Luo Xiao Tong's eyes were fixed on Xiao Ye, with a smile on his face. He was being sly, hoping that Xiao Ye would correct what he had said earlier and admit that he had actually come because he wanted to see him himself.

  "Brother, I'm telling you the truth, it was my sister who asked me to come find you."

  "Didn't your sister pass away?"

  "My sister entrusted me with a dream," said Xiao Ye seriously: "Last night I saw my sister, she said you are the benefactor she has been searching for many years."

  Lu Xiaotong wanted to laugh, she hadn't even seen her sister's appearance, how could it be a benefactor? This little girl, doesn't even know how to tell lies, is getting more and more lovely.

  "Fifteen years ago I was only seven or eight years old, heh, how could I be your sister's benefactor?" Luo Xiaotong straightforwardly played along with her.

  "I also asked my sister like this, but she said it wasn't in the past, and it definitely will be in the future."

  Lu Xiaotong finally couldn't help but laugh: "Fine, I won't tell you. But I'm looking forward to seeing how I'll become your sister's benefactor in the future."
