Chapter 218 Sneaky

"You wouldn't be trying to set me up with your sister, would you?"

Seeing his expression, Xu Lei teased him.

"Stop joking with me. You know I only have one sister."

"Forget it, I spoiled myself, so I can't blame anyone else."

Seeing his helplessness, Xu Lei found it really funny and lay there laughing so hard he could barely stand up straight.

"Do you feel a great sense of accomplishment seeing me so conflicted?"

Xu Lei quickly waved his hand.

"That's not what I meant."

"I never expected that someone as dignified as Boss Gao would cause you any trouble. You're usually so capable, with so many brothers under your command."

"You are so powerful that everyone around you will bow and scrape before you."

"But ironically, it's this younger sister who leaves you with no way to get close to her. I rarely see you suffer such a loss."

Gao Qiqiang started talking about his younger sister with a "one, two, three" count, though he felt a little helpless.

But I still think everything is wonderful.

"What's the big deal? As long as he's willing, I'd pluck the moon from the sky for him."

Xu Lei nodded slightly at Gao Qiqiang, who was a doting brother.

"I was just joking with you earlier, if Xiaolan is willing to go out with me."

"Then just let him follow along."

“He told me a long time ago that he wanted to find some time to go out and relax.”

"Mainly because he saw how tired I've been lately, and he felt sorry for me."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, Gao Qiqiang nodded silently, deeply grateful.

But then I thought about it again and felt really bad.

“This child, I work so hard every day, but I haven’t seen him care about me much.”

“I’m so busy every day that he doesn’t even ask me about my day or night.”

I see he's getting jealous again.

Xu Lei quickly joked.

"How about we just let this go? I don't think you're very keen on it."

"If you still think I ran away with your sister, I'll be wanted by the whole world, and I'll be scared!"

Seeing Xu Lei's unserious behavior again, Gao Qiqiang could only helplessly point at him with his finger.

"To be honest, I've never been able to do anything with my younger sister since she was little."

"Now I've finally found someone I like."

“I can’t be the one to break up other people’s relationships. If you’re really willing, I’ll feel at ease if he stays with you.”

Xu Lei smiled slightly, understanding what the other person meant.

However, Xu Lei still has many projects to work on.

I can't give him a definite answer, especially with so many eyes watching me intently.

Xu Lei was afraid that if he made too much of a commotion, he wouldn't be able to handle the situation.

“We’ve all been in this industry for so many years.”

"I have quite a few enemies on my side."

"You should know in your heart that you really can't just hand over your precious little sister to me."

Xu Lei looked smug, yet feigned helplessness as he asked himself, though he was utterly speechless inside.

"Stop trying to mess with me about this. You know perfectly well that the person I can't do anything about is my sister."

"If she's willing, not even a thousand oxen could pull her back!"

Such a stubborn personality, I wonder who he got it from!

“You shouldn’t blame anyone for this. Since you’ve said so, if he’s willing to come with me, I’ll bring Xiaolan along.”

Xu Lei is so loyal.

The other party nodded with great satisfaction.

"That's good. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting anyone else take care of her!"

"It's only you who's with you, so I can trust you the most."

Xu Lei smiled slightly, and a tacit understanding was reached between them.

Xu Lei quickly changed the subject to the recent construction site.

"I've always felt quite at ease with you overseeing the construction site in Niluo Village."

"I just heard from Chengcheng that things have been a bit unsettled at the construction site lately, with a few people always peeking around."

Gao Qiqiang had some doubts when he heard this.

“I had heard Chengcheng mention it before, but I’ve reminded them to strengthen security these past two days.”

"As of now, I haven't heard anything about the situation changing. Don't worry, if things get a little out of hand, I'll have them take immediate action!"

Seeing how confident the other party was, I decided it wasn't appropriate to get involved too much.

“Okay, then I’ll go abroad to check out that project. With you here, I feel much more at ease about these things.”

Gao Qiqiang was very grateful.

Knowing that Xu Lei had helped him a lot this time, and that his younger sister was usually quiet and reserved.

Even if they have an idea in mind, they never speak it out.

The only thing he can do is to let him, as the older brother, worry more. Xu Lei sometimes even envies Xiao Lan.

Xu Lei didn't have any siblings, so seeing the deep affection between the siblings made him feel rather envious.

"Well, judging from your expression, it seems like you want to acknowledge me as your older brother!"

Seeing Xu Lei deep in thought again, I couldn't help but tease him a few times.

"Stop joking with me. You know me best about this kind of thing."

"If I really get into it, no one can stop me."

"You can't deny it no matter what, and I won't force you. Anyway, things are already like this, so I'll just see how you handle it!"

He had a slight smile in his eyes, wanting to see how Xu Lei would accomplish this task.

Xiaoqiang had been keeping watch at the construction site for the past two days, but after a long time, he discovered that the person he had caught was actually a girl.

She was wearing a tracksuit, and it was hard to spot her in the darkness.

If it weren't for his men's sharp eyes discovering this, he probably would have wasted the last two days he'd spent here.

"Meng Yu".

When Xiao Qiang saw Meng Yu, he was shocked and looked at her with an unquestionable gaze.

"Are you all going to die? How dare you arrest me? Are you all tired of living?"

Upon seeing that it was her, Xiaoqiang immediately ordered his men to release her.

"Alright, alright, let go of me right now. This is a disaster! What are you doing here?"

Xiao Qiang was also puzzled when he saw him, while Meng Yu was very annoyed.

"What's going on? Your men, don't they even know the rules?!"

"I didn't even see who it was before they came up and tackled me to the ground. It really hurt so much."

After saying that, he touched his arms and knees with a very aggrieved expression, and Xiaoqiang was really helpless.

"The main problem is that I've heard there are people peeking around the construction site these past few days, so it's not very safe."

"So the boss told me to come here and keep an eye on things, but I never expected this."

Xiaoqiang quickly apologized as well.

"It was your boss who ordered you to keep watch here!"

Xiao Qiang saw Meng Yu suddenly question him, and thought, "You can't betray your boss!"

He dared not utter a word, silently staring at his thighs without saying a sound.

"Fine, if you're unwilling to betray your boss and be the bad guy, drive me to see him."

Seeing that Meng Yu was about to go out and demand an explanation, he felt a little scared.

Chapter 219 Someone Reported

"No, our boss is also worried and scared about this project."

"Just in case something goes wrong, so we brothers came to keep an eye on things. Since it's you, we understand."

Meng Yuke wouldn't let go of this matter, always feeling that she wanted to take the opportunity to find out what Xu Lei meant.

"Miss, you know our boss's temper better than anyone else."

How could he possibly suspect you?

"It's just that in the past two days, some people have noticed people peeking around at the construction site, so we quickly sent someone over to check it out!"

Xiaoqiang tried to explain several times, but to his surprise, he couldn't convince this young lady.

Meng Yu was determined to meet Xu Lei.

"Fine, he wants to see me, right? Then tie me up and take me there."

"You guys really are Xu Lei's good brothers. I'd like to see what else you have to say!"

Faced with Meng Yu's firm stance, Xiao Qiang could only shake his head helplessly and order someone to drive the car over first.

Although I felt somewhat helpless, I knew that it might be too ostentatious at this moment.

Xu Lei is keeping a very low profile regarding the matter of Niluo Village, trying his best not to make too much of a fuss.

17. What must be endured must be endured. Even the boss is like this, so Xiaoqiang dares not make things too big.

Xiaoqiang knew this girl was impatient; if he wasn't allowed to see Xu Lei today, she definitely wouldn't let it go easily.

He had cursed himself countless times in his heart, wondering why he had to provoke this old lady.

He's usually quite formidable; once he gets his hands on something, he won't let it go.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Meng Yu sat in the car, staring at him menacingly.

"Drive! What are you standing there for?"

Seeing Meng Yu's reaction, he could only nod silently.

Xu Lei had just said goodbye to Gao Qiqiang when he saw Xiao Qiang return looking dejected. Most importantly, Meng Yu was also with him, which made him feel somewhat helpless.

"How did this guy manage to bring this expert here?"

Meng Yu had a rare moment of peace these past two days, fearing that Meng Dehai was causing him trouble.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Lei quickly stepped forward with a slight smile.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Meng? What brings you to my humble abode?"

Meng Yu showed no concern upon seeing Xu Lei; instead, she smiled slightly.

“This is no humble abode of yours. I see that your place is getting more and more impressive.”

"Looking at you now, people who don't know you would think that everyone is about to meet you and say you're amazing."

Xu Lei could only smile helplessly.

"Stop teasing me. You know me better than anyone."
