Chapter 223 Good At Cheating Brothers

Su Jianan was unaware that there was a well-designed one-week trap in front of her, but Luo Xiaoxi was wise to see everything.

As Su Jianan’s friend, Luo Xiaoxi should have warned Su Jianan.

However—

“Come on, what do you want to play? Explain the rules clearly!”

In fact, Luo Xiaoxi was even more interested in the game than Shen Yuechuan, and she touched Su Yicheng to remind him without turning a hair.

Su Jianan was still unaware of it. She looked at Shen Yuechuan seriously and innocently. Shen Yuechuan couldn’t bear to cheat her for a few seconds, but when he thought of this rare opportunity, he finally cleared his throat and explained the rules of the game.

Su Jianan got it at once and asked, “What about the reward and punishment?”

“Only one will lose in each round of this game. The loser has to tell a secret related to one of the other people present but she or he doesn’t know. If you can’t think of one, sing a song for everyone, or drink a cup of wine as the punishment! Of course, if others are not satisfied with the secret you told, you still have to be punished. You can’t escape from it!”

“Tell a secret...” Su Jianan’s lips twitched. “Our friendship will be ended at the end of this party.”

Shen Yuechuan laughed and replied. “Jianan, you think our friendship is so strong? We’ve broken it ten thousand times!”

“...”

Su Jianan did not realize that the game was purely a conspiracy against her and Lu Boyan. She inwardly pondered the rules with care and then clapped her hands. “Get started.”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows—he had known that he and Su Jianan could not escape from this that night.

The first game started very quickly, and Shen Yuechuan was the first to be punished.

The strange thing was that Shen Yuechuan did not appear any annoyance but had a happy smile on his face. Luo Xiaoxi urged him not to be mysterious and tell them a secret. Shen Yuechuan looked at Su Jianan without hesitation—

Su Jianan’s heart severely trembled.

“Is this guy going to expose my secret?”

Thinking carefully, she thought that she didn’t have to worry. She and Shen Yuechuan had only known each other for no more than half a year, what secret could he know of her?

“Jianan, come here to act as referee,” Shen Yuechuan said with a smile, “the secrets we told will pass the game on the condition that you’re satisfied with it. How about this?”

Hey? Was there really such a good thing?

Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan with uncertainty. She wanted to consult his opinion, but he silently turned his head against her...

Su Jianan didn’t want to think too much and answered, “Okay!” She raised the corner of her lips, showing a look as if she was ready to tease Shen Yuechuan. “First of all, I won’t be merciful to you. Come and tell me a secret.”

“Okay.” Shen Yuechuan showed a seemingly stress-free look. “I’ll tell a secret of your Boss Lu.”

“Hey!”

Su Jianan once again looked at Lu Boyan with amazement, but Lu Boyan looked calm as if he had expected it.

However, those present were not sure whether Shen Yuechuan had expected that Shen Yuechuan would tell his secret, or Shen Yuechuan would not dare to say anything too serious?

In order to listen to a serious secret, Su Jianan deliberately emphasized to Shen Yuechuan. “Remember, only if I’m satisfied can you pass. If I’m not satisfied, you won’t be able to pass for the whole night!”

“Rest assured, I keep it in mind.” Shen Yuechuan smiled meaningfully and pointed directly to Lu Boyan. “Jianan, this guy, he has been ‘monitoring’ you for many years!”

The words aroused Su Jianan’s curiosity. “Monitoring me?”

“Yes.” Shen Yuechuan poured things out. “He hired a private investigator who would take pictures of you from time to time and send them to Lu Boyan once a week until you were married. You didn’t know this, did you? For so many years, no matter how far you were from Lu Boyan, he kept an eye on you.”

For two seconds, Su Jianan’s brain went blank, and she felt as if she were listening to someone else’s story.

After a long while, she muttered, “No wonder...”

Back when she was in college, she felt that someone was tracking her a few times, but when she looked back, there was nothing unusual. She once suspected that she had been affected with paranoia.

“Shen Yuechuan wanted to see your reaction,” Lu Boyan said in Su Jianan’s ear, “calm down, I’ll explain it to you when we get home.”

Just as expected, Shen Yuechuan showed a complacent smile and said, “Jianan, how was it? Are you satisfied with the secret I told?”

Su Jianan contained her shocked mind and nodded. “You’ve passed.”

The second round started very soon. This time, the loser was Luo Xiaoxi.

Without thinking, Luo Xiaoxi directly pointed to Su Jianan. “I will tell you a secret about Jianan!”

In an instant, Su Jianan’s heart jumped to her throat.

She was clear that Luo Xiaoxi knew so many of her secrets as they had known each other for so many years, and... these secrets were all related to Lu Boyan!

Shen Yuechuan couldn’t wait to hear the secret and clapped his hands. “Luo Xiaoxi, hurry up!”

Luo Xiaoxi mysteriously smiled and opened her mouth—

Su Jianan suddenly had a very bad premonition. She was trying to cover Luo Xiaoxi’s mouth when Luo Xiaoxi blurted out some words.

“Since entering university, Jianan has been very concerned about various commercial and financial reports. I thought she was interested in this field at first, but later I realized that she was only looking for the reports about Lu Boyan! And, she was collecting his news.”

Shen Yuechuan jeered loudly while Su Yicheng and Mu Sijue all turned their attention to Su Jianan with interest. Su Jianan suddenly wanted to find a crack to hide herself.

Of course, there was no crack and she could only hide into Lu Boyan’s arms like a little squirrel and cried and asked, “Did Shen Yuechuan propose to play this game to tease us?”

Lu Boyan smiled and said, “Yes, you finally realized!”

“...” Su Jianan was full of regret.

“You can deliberately lose the next round,” Lu Boyan said, “You know a lot of secrets of your brother and Luo Xiaoxi, don’t you?”

Good idea!

Su Jianan’s eyes lit up. However, after a moment in pondering, she shook her head again. “I am still interested in your secrets!”

She didn’t know how many things Lu Boyan had concealed from her. This was a great opportunity to get the news!

Lu Boyan’s head hurt and Shen Yuechuan had lost to Su Jianan again.

“Come on, tell me one more Lu Boyan’s secret.” Su Jianan smiled and looked at Shen Yuechuan. “Please remember, it should more impressive than the one you just told.”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and said, “He actually helped you a lot in secret.” For example, when you were a freshman, you found a part-time job as a tutor. Did you ever doubt why the salary was so high? Because Boss Lu told them to pay you so much. He was afraid that you would go to find more part-time jobs to make more money. That was too tiring and unsafe for you.”

After that, Shen Yuechuan felt very good about himself and asked Su Jianan. “How about this one? Is it surprising and moving?”

Su Jianan raised the corner of her lips and showed a bright smile. “I already knew this!”

She filled a glass with wine and pushed it to Shen Yuechuan. “Drink it.”

Shen Yuechuan was a famous heavy drinker, and a small glass of wine had no threat to him, but he could tell that Su Jianan was getting back at him for Lu Boyan, so he suddenly felt that life was really miserable.

Even if love was as cumbersome as Mu Sijue had said, it seemed that it was always better than nothing.

Looking at Shen Yuechuan downing the wine, Su Jianan gradually figured out the purpose of the game, that was, to dig her and Lu Boyan’s secrets, but only Luo Xiaoxi and Shen Yuechuan playing was not fun.

So in the next round, Su Jianan toughly dragged Mu Sijue into the game.

Mu Sijue seemed to be a prudent man; Su Jianan believed that he would not spill the beans, but if he did, it would definitely be a big one.

“Do you really want me to say it?” Mu Sijue was so sly, and the smile around his brows did not reveal his intention.

Su Jianan decisively said, “Yes!”

Mu Sijue looked at Su Jianan and said, “It must be the hardest time in your life when you were 15. In fact, at that time, Boyan came back from the United States, and the night you spent in the suburban cemetery, he was with you there.”

The time after her mother’s unexpected death was indeed the hardest time in Su Jianan’s life.

At that time, she was reluctant to accept the fact that her mother could no longer accompany her, and she had to face her mother’s cold tomb, using this almost cruel method to force herself to live normally and not to immerse herself in sorrow.

She still remembered that night; the desolate suburbs, the cloud-covered moon, and the strange rustling sounds of the wind blowing leaves. She stood motionless in front of the cold tombstone, and her tears blurred her sight and the world in front of her.

Later on, whenever she thought of that night, she felt that it was the most lonely moment in her long life.

Leaning against the cold tombstone alone, she had to accept the fact that her mother had died.

However, in fact, Lu Boyan was accompanying her at that time? He was behind her?

Not only Su Jianan, but also Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi were shocked into wordless for a while.

In the following rounds, Su Jianan was in a trance. Even though Lu Boyan helped her, she still lost a few rounds.

According to the rules, she needed to tell a secret for each lose.

The things between Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng were bubbling with noise that everyone knew them, so, there was really no explosive secrets to tell. Su Jianan thought for a moment and told a secret that Luo Xiaoxi had been able to sign in Lu Enterprise Media because Su Yicheng asked Lu Boyan for help.

Shen Yuechuan was the first one to boo. “We all knew this before!” For the first time, he pushed a glass of wine to a girl in an ungentlemanly manner. “After being done with this wine, we will continue to the next round.”

Su Jianan accepted her lose and reached out for the wine but was blocked by Lu Boyan.

His voice was clear and low. “I will drink it for you.”

“Oh, you can’t do this!” Shen Yuechuan stopped him and said first. “This is unfair to me and Mu Qi!”

Su Jianan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She took back her wine and said to Shen Yuechuan, “Since you’ve tried so hard, I’ll drink it.”

She raised her head and drank up the wine.

Shen Yuechuan dared not to go too far, therefore, the wine he gave Su Jianan was not that strong. However, Su Jianan had little tolerance for liquor, and she felt her chest and throat burning with the wine.

“Are you ok?” Lu Boyan looked at her with a frown.

Su Jianan waved her hand. “It doesn’t matter. Continue!”

In fact, she also needed this glass of wine, because she had heard that the effect of this kind of wine always came slowly.

Now she needed to be sober, but later... she needed alcohol to be brave.

Several rounds later, Su Yicheng lost.

In Su Jianan’s mind, Su Yicheng was an invincible man. Seeing Su Yicheng lost, she was more excited than everyone.

However, it would be boring to share any secrets at the moment. The idea of Shen Yuechuan was obviously consistent with Su Jianan’s.

Shen Yuechuan proposed by saying, “How about you meet a requirement of Jianan’s, Yicheng? You only know her secrets and we’ve heard enough of that. So, just satisfy Jianan’s requirement, an easy one, and we’ll let you pass, what do you say?”

Su Yicheng pondered for seconds and looked at Su Jianan calmly. “What’s your requirement?”

However, his tone sounded somehow warning.

Su Jianan was not threatened as Lu Boyan was there with her.

“Sing a song for us,” Su Jianan thought for a moment and said, “sing ‘Xiao Wei’.”

“Pumm...”

Sure enough, Su Jianan was good at cheating her brother. Not only Shen Yuechuan and Musiju smiled, but even Lu Boyan could not help but raise the corner of his lips.
