I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 690 Arguing

Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Arguing

In the end, Lao Liu still found this man especially annoying and felt that he had to speak up; otherwise, his anger wouldn’t subside. He despised such men all his life, but whenever he despised someone, he couldn’t bring about any change. Now was the time when he felt most ashamed of himself.

When Lao Liu finally uttered these words, Lao Si was exceptionally thrilled and nudged Lao Liu, saying,

"Enough, don’t provoke her any further, or the Zhang Family might really retaliate against us in the same way. That would be disastrous; we might not even be able to escape. It’s best not to provoke them any further. Look at what state you’ve put them in; I bet he has never been humiliated like this in his life.

Think about it, what will you do if the Zhang Family decides to pursue this matter later? For heaven’s sake, don’t let it be so, hope everything just passes peacefully, though I doubt that’s possible."

Lao Si spoke with revelry in his voice, as if pleased by the misery. I think this is what he deserves for getting old. There’s no helping it if others are born taller, right? Some people are just taller. There were several instances when Lao Si was targeted by Lao Liu for being too tall, which made Lao Si particularly impatient, simply because the other person was younger.

He thought about just giving in, not stooping to their level, but he didn’t expect the other to become even more aggressive. Such instances always infuriated him, but luckily things gradually improved as he slowly locked horns with Lao Liu.

Realizing he was not a match, Lao Si now responded with cryptic sarcasm, which felt like payback for all the bullying he’d endured previously.

"Stop gloating. If I can’t escape, don’t think you can either. Don’t forget, we’re in this together. Would the Zhang Family only recognize me? Besides, do you think the Zhang Family could still keep Mr. Zhang Xu after such a huge scandal? He’s bound to be grounded for a long while. Will anyone bother me then?

I don’t know; all I know is if I suffer, you’ll suffer with me. How does that feel, not so great, right? You’re stuck with me for life, and that’s all you’re good for. No matter how tall you are, what does it matter? In my eyes, you’re no different than me."

With just a few simple sentences, the fire was lit and Lao Si became extremely furious, wanting to clench his fists and teach this arrogant fool a lesson. But just as he raised his fist, Lao Er, with great resignation, had to intervene. Every time he led the team, such situations would arise, and every time it was him who had to mediate and persuade everyone to back down.

But over time, this wearied him immensely. These people just wouldn’t listen and he was always the one who had to talk and talk, with the blame ultimately falling on him. Every time something like this happened, it was extremely challenging for Lao Er. If he reported it to the boss, the boss would just tell them to get along, nothing more.

Who could understand the pain of being the mediator? Now, during this critical moment, they had to quarrel, which probably meant they also argued frequently during normal times. Watching the two on the verge of fighting amused the brothers; it seemed that without them saying anything, the group would soon be torn apart.

Lin Qi suddenly realized that she had been too worried about them and considered them too important; but upon reflection, she found them to be quite trivial.

"Now, without even having to think, I can see the outcome. This is indeed immoral; watching them quarrel is quite a stress-relief. I hope they keep it up, and hopefully, Mr. Zhang Xu will be smart enough.

If I can escape, there’ll be no need to continue my plans, because it’ll be troublesome if Lao Er later requires my schemes. But if I don’t scheme, I fear this old man will have some deadly trick up his sleeve, which would spell disaster.

After all, the opponent isn’t that foolish. If something unexpected happens, I’d be caught completely off guard."

"Do you enjoy watching them squabble, thinking we can’t stay united? Is that it? But I think you’re being naive. If they could be done with us that quickly, our group wouldn’t have lasted this long. Please remember that,"

Lao Er was the one who best understood what the other person was thinking, with a keen grasp of every action. Certainly a bit reluctant to cooperate with me, aren’t you? Well, I won’t allow it.

After so much hard work and having gained the trust of my brothers, if I can’t maintain the very basics, then there’s no point considering what comes after.

"We’ve already come this far in our partnership. If we keep on suspecting each other, then it’s all meaningless. Don’t you think?" Lin Qi said, patiently bearing with them.

Zhang Xu never expected that the first person to rescue him, after being pushed here by his so-called friends, would be a dancing girl he had previously wanted to toy with. It was astonishing; even a mere dancer had such charm, while he, as a man, was pathetically feeble and inferior to a woman. How could he face the world?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt contemptible. But what could he do? He indeed had to rely on that dancer for survival; otherwise, he would have had to pay an unknown price to return home. Now that he had tarnished the Zhang Family’s reputation, there was no way to mend it.

He could only wait to see how they would try to recover; in the meantime, the priority was to find an escape without holding others back. Continuing like this was quite embarrassing for him. While contemplating, Zhang Xu kept looking for an opportunity.

Observing Lao Si and Lao Liu bickering, he knew his chance had come. Lao Liu was far too arrogant, and Lao Si considered himself strong and invincible. This Lao Liu was of average character.
