Gao Liyuan sat with her legs crossed, sipping on her chilled "Happy Water for Chubby Homebodies" with delight. "So, what exactly happened to your hand?" she asked.
Wuwuwu----------
"It was taken by a woman even scarier than you," Gao Liming thought bitterly.
But if he said it out loud, he’d definitely be laughed at, right?
So, he chose to keep it to himself.
"You haven’t said anything about yourself yet. You came back just like that, afraid someone might recognize you?"
"Afraid? I’m terrified!"
Gao Liyuan nodded without hesitation.
Gao Liming’s eyelid twitched.
But he quickly understood the reason.
He sighed and then asked, "You didn’t come back just to see me, did you?"
"You’re short on money, right? How much do you need? Name the amount, and I’ll transfer it to you."
No one visits without a reason.
Gao Liyuan wouldn’t come back unless she needed something.
And aside from money, Gao Liming couldn’t think of any other reason.
Gao Liyuan’s eyes lit up for a moment, and her throat moved as if she was about to say something. But then, as if she remembered something, she pursed her lips and said, "Kid, do you think your sister is the kind of person who’s obsessed with money?"
"Shallow! So damn shallow!"
"If you dare test my moral limits with money again, I’ll straight-up teach you a lesson!"
Sssss!!!!!!!
Gao Liming’s face was filled with shock.
My dear sister.
Do you even have a moral limit?
Have you forgotten how you’ve screwed me over in the past?
"Yes, yes, my sister is absolutely right," Gao Liming nodded repeatedly.
When talking to women, logic doesn’t work.
Because most women don’t follow logic.
If she says a cow can fly, you just agree and move on.
Of course, Gao Liyuan knew her little brother was just humoring her.
But she didn’t care.
After the small talk ended, Gao Liyuan took another swig of her "Happy Water for Chubby Homebodies" and then said, "I heard you joined an organization called the Dragon King Hall overseas?"
Huh???????
Gao Liming was dumbfounded.
Since when did his sister become so badass?
How did she even know about this?
"Sis, how do you know about this?" Gao Liming asked curiously.
This was supposed to be a secret.
Even the old man didn’t know.
"Let me finish first."
"Oh, sure, no problem."
"The leader of your Dragon King Hall is named Lin Fan, right?"
"Uh... yeah, that’s right."
"And you’re one of Lin Fan’s lackeys, right?"
"Right—wait, no! How could I willingly be someone else’s lackey? Sis, you know me better than that!"
Gao Liming retorted indignantly.
Gao Liyuan, with no regard for her image, gnawed on a spicy chicken claw and mumbled with her mouth full, "Is that so?"
Gao Liming nodded earnestly, his face full of seriousness.
"Yes!!!!!"
"Would I lie to you?"
After a pause, he became even more curious about how Gao Liyuan knew all this.
"Sis, where did you get this intel?"
Gao Liyuan rolled her eyes and said proudly, "Your sister works in intelligence. How do you think I know?"
Gao Liming began to question his life.
But this was just the appetizer.
What came next made him question his existence even more.
Gao Liyuan continued, "Lin Fan got played by a woman named Red Rose, and he wasn’t happy about it. So, he called you in to settle the score."
"But you severely overestimated your own abilities and underestimated your opponent. Red Rose even got your home address."
Gao Liming was almost shocked out of his wits.
Spot on!
So accurate!!!
Three years apart, and she’s become a whole new person.
Even fortune tellers aren’t as precise as Gao Liyuan when it comes to gathering intel.
Gao Liming looked at her like she was some kind of deity, then gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it!!!!"
"It’s all because of this underdeveloped body of mine. Give me an adult body, and let’s see what happens!"
"That Red Rose is so lame!!! She only won because she’s physically stronger. Otherwise, how could I have lost?"
"Sis, you came back just in time. Help me find Red Rose’s address. I’m gonna make her pay..."
*Whack!*
It happened so fast!!!!
Gao Liming’s head was slapped hard by his sister.
"Ow!!! That hurts! Sis, what was that for?"
Gao Liming held his head, looking at Gao Liyuan in confusion.
You don’t hit people on the head.
Gao Liyuan’s slap was heavy, clearly not holding back.
"Oh, so you want another chance? Who did you say you were going to make pay?"
Gao Liyuan looked at him with a smirk.
"Red... Red..."
Gao Liming, feeling wronged, thought his sister hadn’t heard him clearly. But when he met her murderous gaze and saw her hand raised threateningly in the air, even he, as dense as he was, caught on.
And he wasn’t that dense.
"Sis, you’re Red Rose!???"
Gao Liyuan shrugged her delicate shoulders, chugged the rest of her "Happy Water," and let out a satisfied burp.
"The one and only."
The truth was out!!!!
So that’s how it was.
Gao Liming slumped into his chair.
Thinking about it now, he didn’t lose unfairly!!!
Damn it!
Stupid Dragon King.
He called me in to face off against my own sister.
What was that guy even thinking?
Using a dragon-slaying sword to kill a chicken?
"Do you still want to settle the score?"
Gao Liyuan glanced at him.
The latter forced a smile, squeezing out an expression that looked more painful than crying.
"I don’t want to settle anything anymore."
"It’s all that idiot Dragon King’s fault!"
"I didn’t know Red Rose was you, sis."
"This was all a misunderstanding."
Gao Liyuan opened another bag of chicken claws, munching as she spoke.
"What did Lin Fan offer you?"
"Uh..."
Gao Liming’s face couldn’t hold back anymore, and he broke.
He rubbed his thumb and index finger together, gesturing.
"Not much, just some worthless stone."
Gao Liyuan narrowed her eyes. This little rascal wasn’t being honest.
If it were just some worthless stone, would you have taken the job?
But it didn’t matter.
Who cares who’s screwing who?
Gao Liyuan had read plenty of novels, including those targeted at male readers.
No wonder Lin Fan was so stingy and loved haggling!
So, he’s the protagonist!!!!
The protagonist = spends the least money, exerts the least effort, reaps the most benefits, and has all the beautiful women around him.
*Ptooey*---------
Gao Liyuan stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and then dropped a bombshell.
"Little bro, just sell me out! Complete your mission and get your reward!"
Gao Liming was stunned.
What? What? What?
What the hell is all this?!!
Even someone as smart as him couldn’t keep up with the crazy woman’s bizarre train of thought.
