Chapter 229: Actor

"Chu Fei, come in."

When he arrived at Feilu's company, Chu Fei was about to go to his office area but was stopped by Ximen Lu. He said, "Leng Bingbing, and walked into his office without looking back."

Chu Fei smiled bitterly and came to Ximen Lu's office.

But after entering the door, Chu Fei was stunned. Ximen Lu was busy with herself and ignored him at all.

"Hey, what's the matter when I ask me in?" Chu Fei could only ask.

Ximen Lu then raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "Chu Fei, why did you talk nonsense last night? Who did you say is thin-skinned? Hum?" After that, he looked at Chu Fei with a bad look.

"ah?"

Chu Fei was stunned. He knew that Ximen Lu would not let him go so easily, but he didn't expect Ximen Lu to say this first, and couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "I said you are thin-skinned and praise you, okay? Do you want me to say you are thick-skinned?"

"I--"

Ximen Lu couldn't speak for a moment, and she also felt that Chu Fei's words were right. Is it okay to say that she was thin-skinned? That's really a swearing person, okay?

But--

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the title issue. Do I have anything to do with you? You talked to Xiaoman and your sister-in-law at the same time. Do you know that you are slandering my reputation?" Ximen Lu glared again.

"Ahem—"

Chu Fei was speechless. He coughed twice and looked at Ximen Lu's eyes with a strange expression: "Didn't you explain yourself when Xiaoman called you sister-in-law? I thought you like to listen?"

"Who said I like to listen? I'm..." Ximen Lu said halfway but couldn't continue, especially when facing Chu Fei's smiling eyes, she felt a little guilty. Xiaoman was really not used to calling her sister-in-law one by one, but that was just the beginning, and later I didn't feel too awkward, especially this morning, Chen Xiaoman even tried to please her sister-in-law one by one, which actually made him feel very comfortable and ethereal...

"Okay, we won't talk about this."

Ximen Lu took a deep breath and looked at Chu Fei again, her eyes also became sharp: "What is your relationship with Chen Xiaoman?" After asking, she even looked at Chu Fei's face tightly, not letting go of any details.

Chu Fei was a little speechless by Ximen Lu's one after another, but women are born unreasonable. Chu Fei was very generous and didn't care. He replied with a smile: "Chen Xiaoman is my sister. Didn't I introduce it to you last night?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Your name is Chu Fei, her name is Chen Xiaoman. You are not the same surname. How could she be your sister?" Ximen Lu looked ugly with anger. She felt that Chu Fei was too much. She was not convenient to ask yesterday and just fool herself. She was still like this today. She really thought she was a three-year-old child.

"If you don't have a surname, you can't be my sister? Who made the decision?" Chu Fei curled his lips.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me the truth, what's going on with this Chen Xiaoman?" Ximen Lu asked again, her eyes even more aggressive, as if she wanted to eat people.

Chu Fei was also shocked by Ximen Lu's expression, thinking that Ximen Lu was too broad-minded, but remembering that Chen Xiaoman might have to stay in his own residence for a few days next time, so he had to contact Ximen Lu. In order to avoid real conflicts, Chu Fei did not hide this time, and said the truth: "Actually, Chen Xiaoman is not my real sister, but my comrade-in-arms' sister."

"Your comrade-in-arms sister?"

Ximen Lu's expression was surprised. She didn't expect Chu Fei to give such an answer. She thought Chu Fei would definitely find another excuse, and even a half-sister would appear, but she didn't guess that this would be the answer.

"Yes, Xiaoman is my comrade-in-arms sister." Chu Fei sighed, then sat on the leather chair in front of Ximen Lu, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. At this moment, his whole body seemed to have become a different person, depressed and bleak.

Ximen Lu was really stunned, staring at Chu Fei who was sitting opposite him as if he was unfamiliar. After a while, he reacted and frowned and said, "She is your comrade-in-arms' sister, you are your comrade-in-arms' sister, why do you have this expression?" When Ximen Lu looked at Chu Fei carefully, always feeling that something was wrong with Chu Fei at this moment. She seemed to be different from the person she knew. If it was a disguise, then this guy's acting skills were too scary, and she was definitely a movie emperor level.

Chu Fei raised his head and looked at Ximen Lu, and suddenly grinned. Although he was laughing, his expression was more like crying. There was a kind of depressing madness contained in it. He was clearly looking at Ximen Lu, but there was no focal length in his eyes. He gave people a sense of hollowness, and his face was the same: "My comrade-in-arms disappeared. He disappeared while carrying out a mission with me and will never come back."

"What?" Ximen Lu's face changed: "Is your comrade dead?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm still alive, but hope is too slim." Chu Fei took a sip of the cigarette hard, and suddenly looked up at Ximen Lu: "But Xiaoman doesn't know the truth yet. I told you this because I was afraid that you would have a conflict with her. You must not tell her in front of her, otherwise..." When he said this, two cold lights suddenly shot out from Chu Fei's eyes...

This cold gaze made Ximen Lu shudder and then she realized that it was only Chu Fei's scary look that made her feel inexplicable pressure. She was not angry, but said seriously: "I'm not a goblin, don't worry, I will definitely not tell it out."

"Well, I believe you." Chu Fei nodded vigorously.

Seeing Chu Fei's nodding, Ximen Lu suddenly felt a little moved, but soon felt something was wrong. Why was she moved?

But Chu Fei's expression on the opposite side was too depressing, which made her resist the unhappiness in her heart. She hesitated and asked: "What mission are you doing? How could your comrades disappear?"

"This is a military secret."

Chu Fei said calmly.

A sentence almost made Ximen Lu angry, but Chu Fei's next sentence calmed her down.

"I can only tell you that it was a very dangerous mission. Many people died and many people were missing in that mission. Xiaoman's brother was just one of them..." Chu Fei's voice was very heavy.

Ximen Lu's eyes widened...

"I've said it all. Xiaoman's brother disappeared for me. The only thing he was worried about before he disappeared was his sister, so I have to take good care of Xiaoman. Do you understand?" Chu Fei ignored Ximen Lu's shock and said in a deep voice, his eyes very heavy.

"I understand, don't worry, I will help you take good care of Chen Xiaoman." Ximen Lu nodded almost instinctively.

"Yeah, thank you."

Chu Fei then showed a smile on his face, but it was still heavy. Then he nodded to Ximen Lu, turned around and walked out...

Chen Xiaoman sighed in her heart, reached out to take a copy of the information and started reviewing it. Input it, it was all very simple operation...

Just like that, an hour passed quickly...
