Chapter 1364: Chapter 1336: Little Brother Was Made the Scapegoat Chapter 1364: Chapter 1336: Little Brother Was Made the Scapegoat Arlong didn’t know his sister had already investigated his beloved girlfriend thoroughly; he was taking Flora Jim home.

Arlong took a taxi to send her back, and upon arrival at the doorstep, he saw that Flora Jim’s complexion looked terrible, so Arlong asked.

“Flora, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing…”

She didn’t expect that even after leaving Q City, she could still encounter “acquaintances.”

“Were you frightened by my sister? Actually, my sister might seem tough, but she has a very kind heart. I’m sure she doesn’t have any ill intentions toward you, so don’t take it to heart, okay?”

Flora didn’t know whether Kiara had any hostility towards her, but she knew that after those two men came in, even if there was no hostility, there would be some now.

“Arlong, what exactly does your family do? Didn’t you say your mom is a homemaker and your stepfather is a regular civil service employee?”

She chose Arlong because she felt his family background was simple. A family from the lower class wouldn’t have crossed paths with her past, and when the time came for Arlong to change jobs, they could move to a different city where no one would recognize her.

As she dreamed of a beautiful future, how could such a thing happen!

How could a boy from an ordinary family casually invite two such important people to a meal out of the blue?

Whether it was Zoel Cohen or Zeke Sean, they were both significant figures. The fact that they both showed up for a meal raised questions about who exactly Arlong was.

“My family is pretty ordinary, haven’t I told you? I’m still in debt because I borrowed money from a friend for my dad’s chemotherapy before. My mom does have some money, but that’s her compensation from the demolition, meant for her retirement. I don’t really want to use the elder’s money anymore…”

Arlong wasn’t intentionally hiding his identity from Flora Jim; it was just that Kiara had done so much to educate him that Arlong now also felt that the family wealth was the family’s business, and as a man, he should earn his own money.

Thus when he met Flora, he also concealed the fact that his mom had several storefronts from the demolition money and that under his sister’s guidance, he had invested in stocks and made quite a bit, not to mention that Robert Johnson was Dean of the High Court, Kiara had married the son of a listed company’s boss, and his brother-in-law was the legendary figure and domineering CEO… he said nothing of these things.

What was the point of mentioning it, and anyway, it wouldn’t be appropriate to reveal his brother-in-law’s family’s identity publicly, but even if he did, what would it change? The money was theirs; he still had to earn his own.

“That’s not what I’m talking about. I mean–how does your sister know Mr. Cohen and Mr. Sean?”

“Oh, them? They’re childhood friends of my brother-in-law, and friends of my sister too. Since my sister is a doctor, naturally she has a wider social circle.”

“Childhood friends?” Flora Jim repeated the words as if she was in a daze and then sneered.

“It seems you’ve hidden a lot from me.”

Flora Jim was not oblivious to where Mr. Sean and Mr. Cohen came from; those who came out of that institution were never mediocre.

It seemed that her brother-in-law must also have come from that institution; otherwise, they would not refer to him as a childhood friend.

At this moment, Flora Jim felt enveloped in complete darkness, unable to see a future, as if a heavy stone weighed down on her chest.

In her attempts to escape, she found herself right back where she started.

“Arlong, let’s not see each other anymore,” she said through her tears.

“What?” Arlong was stunned. Everything was fine, so why did she want to break up with him after seeing her brother?

“We’re not suitable, there’s too big of a gap between our families, and being with me, you won’t have a future.”

“What’s too big? Aren’t we similar? You’re working, and I’m just a poor laborer too. Didn’t we agree to work hard together for the future? Why are you suddenly saying this? Are you looking down on me because I have no money? Don’t worry, Shella, I’ll go back and study hard for university. Just wait for me for a few years, as long as I get in, we’ll keep getting better!”

Arlong urgently confessed his feelings to Shella. Seeing her sincerity, her heart ached.

A single misstep can cause lifelong regret, but now it’s too late to say anything.

“If only you were really poor… Forget it, let’s not meet each other, pretend we’ve never known each other, forget me, Arlong.” After saying that, Shella ran into her room, closed the door, and no matter how much Arlong knocked, the door of the small yard remained tightly shut.

Arlong waited outside the door for a while and after quite some time, a little girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old came out.

“Arlong, just go back, my sister won’t see you today, stop waiting.”

“Yayaka, what exactly is wrong with your sister? Did I say something wrong to make her angry?” Arlong asked urgently, but the little girl just shook her head, gave him a deep look, and closed the door again.

With Arlong’s current agility, jumping over the wall to get in wouldn’t be too difficult, but he chose to respect Shella’s wishes. Forcing his way in when the girl didn’t want to see him would be inappropriate.

The problem must be with her older sister. Thinking this, Arlong couldn’t wait to hail a car, needing to find his sister immediately to ask clearly what was wrong with Shella, and why she wanted to end their relationship after just one meeting!

At this time, Kiara had just gotten home, first laying the already sleeping Wendy in the baby crib, before tossing her small bag aside.

The money scattered on the floor from the bag. It was originally meant as a gift for her brother’s girlfriend, a custom in Q City where the girl gives money on her first visit to meet the parents. Ordinary families usually give around 300, at most 500, but Kiara had prepared 2000, as she and Mario had discussed.

Not too much, not too little, just the right middle amount so as not to put too much pressure on the girl, yet not to appear disrespectful.

With all this hassle, the gift wasn’t given, and she ended up with a belly full of fire.

Once in the bedroom, Kiara slammed the door shut and angrily threw a pillow, unable to calm down.

“That’s enough, why are you so angry?” Mario hurried to console her.

“What is all this? Tell me what this is! I’m not expecting him to find some white, rich, official’s daughter or anything. It’s fine if she’s average-looking, as long as she’s a good person and lives a steady life, but look at who he ended up with? Huh? If she really fools him, how will others see Arlong? Huh?!”

Kiara was now in a state of fury. Zeke had said that Flora wasn’t just a high-end prostitute but someone who did such things, with thousands having known her intimately for money, making what she did no different from the Special Industry.

“Wife, calm down. Let’s not talk about her not yet entering your family, you yourself have said before that you don’t discriminate against the Special Industry…”

The moment he mentioned this, Kiara felt as if she was slapped in the face, and she smacked Mario on the chest, “Mr. Yuno, if you had a brother, would you want him to marry someone like that?”

“Um, I reserve my opinion on this question.”

“Reserve what? I’m telling you, it’s not just that she’s hiding her past from my brother that upsets me–I’m more upset that she’s treating him like a fool! What is this? Play around and then marry an honest man when you’re done? Does our family’s honest man have no choice but to be someone else’s fallback?!”
