Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 367 - Long Shan’s Love and Hate

“You think that you are not a threat to them?”

“Do you think I am?”

“I thought you were very clever, but I didn’t expect you to be so stupid,” Long Shan sneered, “The eccentric third lady who has an extremely high status took an interest in you and offered such generous cooperation conditions for you, you still think that other people would not treat you seriously?”

I said lightly, “I don’t know any Third Lady…”

“But you know something about her now. At least, you should have some general ideas about her… But that is not important. The important thing is that she knows you,” Long Shan said,

“You know why the chairman wants you to stay in Fengchang? It’s not because of the general condition she offered, other companies are also the same. If they can get the opportunity to cooperate with the Third Lady, even if the conditions are terrible, they would still fight with each other over it. The reason why Li Xinghui did not hesitate to use any means to get you to work with him is the same as why we want to keep you in Fengchang, because we all know that if we have you, we will definitely get this cooperation, but if we don’t, then we will never be able to get this cooperation. The Third Lady is a person who will always keep her word.”

“Is this also the reason why the attitude of the Long Family towards me changed drastically?”

I did not conceal my intention to find out Long Shan’s role in this cooperation. She didn’t look at me but focused on driving. Only after a while of silence did she say, “The Long Family is now only looking strong on the outside, but inside, it is very weak. Although the Third Lady is the largest investor in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, the Long Family still exhausted all its resources for the worthless market leader title.

“At that time, it was an act of recklessness to insist on taking this project. In addition, Long Xiaotian made the wrong decision during the previous economic crisis, which led to serious losses of his company. So the Long family’s situation actually isn’t that great. This is not a secret in the business world. Long Xiaotian’s grand celebration of his 80th birthday party is not unrelated to the current situation his company is in. He wants to hide the difficulty with the luxurious birthday celebration.

“It was not because of his face, but for the Third Lady. With the current situation of the Long Family, he had no ability to expand to other industries he was unfamiliar with, and after Long Xiaotian was killed, no one in the Long Family has that courage anymore.”

“Oh? I think Long Yifan is shrewd and competent, he is also very bold…” I was not interested in the current situation of the Long family at all, I was interested in Long Shan’s relationship with them.

Sure enough, when Long Shan heard the words ‘Long Yifan’, she glared at me subconsciously, her eyes filled with resentment. Seeing that I frowned and seemed to be thinking something, a trace of panic flashed across her face. Feeling a little guilty, she turned her head quickly. She tried to pretend that she was concentrating on driving, but her plump chest that was moving ups and downs obviously showed that she was suppressing a certain emotion.

“Secretary Long…”

“You can call me Auntie Shan or Elder Sister Shan like Fei’er. The chairman is actually struggling to make up his mind. Although he opposes you being with Fei’er, he really likes you, so he doesn’t treat you as an outsider.. .”

“Are you trying to change the subject?”

“You…” Long Shan’s expression changed again, but she was unwilling to lose to a little man like me who was a dozen or twenty years younger than her. She forced herself to calm down and said,

“Humans are different from animals because they have distinct personalities and they are very cunning. For example, a mother tiger will teach the little tiger all the skills of predation, and let it learn her wild nature, but humans will not. A competent father will make his son less competent.

“Long Xiaotian was an arrogant man. He never allowed anyone to disobey him. With this kind of character, it is destined that no one in the next generation of the Long family will be able to surpass him. Long Yifan is indeed smart, but he is a man who lives in the shadow of his father. He is competent in keeping his family’s business, but he will never be able to expand and grow his family’s business, because he never learned how to do it, and he didn’t have that courage.”

“You know Long Yifan very well.”

“I know everyone in the Long Family,” Long Shan had no emotions in her eyes nor in her tone of voice, “You brought out a little girl called Ku’er from the Long Family, right? Like her, I was the victim of Long Xiaotian’s fake kindness. I was adopted from the orphanage he donated, and I was also the woman Long Yifan vowed to marry.”

I was stunned.

“You are shocked?”

“Mhm.” I nodded honestly.

Long Shan seemed to like my shocked expression very much. She smiled uncharacteristically and teased me, “You are no longer that curious now?”

Unless I was a fool, otherwise, how could I not see the anger and pain flowing in her eyes?

Curiosity sometimes would hurt people. Obviously, I made Long Shan remember the things that she didn’t want to remember. “I’m not someone who is curious about everything. I just want to figure out why you suddenly dislike me. Now I know the answer… I’m sorry.”

I had just been wrongly implicated by other people. I didn’t know what happened to Long Shan and Long Yifan, but I only needed to know that Long Yifan’s current wife was not her.

Hearing what I said, Long Shan was dazed, Then she smiled, “No wonder Fei’er likes you so much. You are really a strange man… Don’t you think I’m very unreasonable? Obviously, it has nothing to do with you, but when I heard that Long Yifan wanted to invite you to dinner, I couldn’t help having a temper when I found out that you didn’t reject him immediately. Do you think I’m a very annoying woman?”

“No.” I was telling the truth because I was such a weak man when it came to dealing with women. Whenever I told Chu Yuan that I had dinner with Liusu, Chu Yuan would lose her temper unreasonably, but I never find her annoying.

“All women are petty-minded. They can love a person for a lifetime, and hate a person for a lifetime. Even if I got more after leaving the Long family, I still can’t let it go. Once self-esteem is hurt, it’s hard to heal. ”

“Do you love Long Yifan?”

“No.”

“Did you?”

“No,” Long Shan thought for a while and said, “I didn’t know what love was at that time.”

“Do you love chairman?”

“Mhm,” Long Shan smiled. It was a happy smile, “He is the only person I have ever loved in my life, and the only person worthy of my love.”

“Why?” I was not a person who was curious about everything, but once I was curious about something, I didn’t mind becoming a nosy parker. “When you met him, he was already with Mrs. Mo?”

“They had been married for seven years when I met him.”

Actually, what I wanted to ask was, why could she live peacefully with Mrs. Mo? Their experience was very important to me! But I felt very embarrassed to say it. In the end, I could only hesitantly say, “O, oh… Since he is married, why do you still love him?”

“When I approached him, my purpose was not to love him, but to hurt him. He was hurt because of me, but he forced himself to smile and lick my wound for me… That’s why I love him. Marriage is not a yoke. Love is love. Whether it is giving up or persisting, it can no longer change the result of me falling in love with him. Fate works in mysterious ways,” Long Shan chuckled bitterly and then asked me, “Do you think I am a shameless woman?”

“No…” I said, “I think Chairman is a very fortunate man. He can have two women at the same time without worrying that they would fight each other…”

“He is very fortunate, but you are much more fortunate than him. There seem to be more than two girls around you, right?” Long Shan jokingly said, “Young man, you want to know how he managed to make me live peacefully with his wife right? And you want to use that on Fei’er, Miss Cheng and Miss Xue, right?”

I blushed in embarrassment after Long Shan exposed what I was thinking. But I shouldn’t be blamed for having this kind of thought. After all, I also thought it was unrealistic for a man to have two women at the same time, and his women would live peacefully with each other. But after I discovered the secret of the Mo family, I realized that this kind of thing could actually exist. I would be lying if I said that I was not tempted by this idea.

“You don’t force it, you just go with the flow…”

Long Shan said those words to me. But when I looked at her in confusion, she seemed to have forgotten what she had just said and changed the topic back to the previous question, “I and Yizhi had reminded Long Xiaotian at the beginning that there is no free lunch in the world, and there must be some other reasons why the Third Lady would spend so much money in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort project but let them managed it.

“But Long Xiaotian did not listen. In his opinion, he still believed that the Third Lady was too busy to handle everything. He even said that we were jealous because he got the project… It was actually quite understandable why he would believe that way. The Third Lady is too mysterious. Rumors even deified her…

“Because of the loss, the Long family bore the major responsibility for making the wrong decision in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort project. As a business partner and the Long Corporate Group’s largest creditor, the Third Lady constantly put pressure on Long Xiaotian.

“Long Xiaotian already had a hard time dealing with it when he was alive. I thought that the Long Corporate Group could last at least three to five years, but with the incident on the banquet that day, and the evidence that Xu Heng gave to the police, I doubt that it would survive that long. The Long family’s company is already in the red. The bank is not stupid. It must have begun to put pressure on the Long family already…”

“Why are you telling me this?”
