Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 28 Choice

"Little Bu, what on earth is going on!" Lisa's face was full of anger. The drastic change in the situation before her was like going from heaven to hell for her.

"Lisa, actually, Meijia... she has a very serious case of delusions." Ziqiao pulled Meijia's hand away and desperately made up a story. "When she has an episode, she keeps talking about Ziqiao, boyfriend and girlfriend and stuff like that. I can't understand a word she says."

"Me? Paranoid?" Meijia was completely confused about Lu Ziqiao's intentions.

"So one of you has amnesia and the other has delusions? You should have said so earlier."

Just as Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Lisa had believed him again, Lisa slapped him so hard that he was spinning three and a half times in mid-air.

"Lu Xiaobu, Zeng Xiaoxian, do you really think I'm an idiot? Everyone who comes to this suite is mentally ill. Is this an apartment or a mental hospital?"

"One has late-stage liver cancer and amnesia, the other has delusions. So what illness are you planning to give that guy next to the curtains? Brain damage or depression?"

Nanfeng chuckled and said, "Coincidentally, I seem to be able to handle both idiocy and depression."

Meijia chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "Late-stage liver cancer and amnesia? What era are we living in that they still use this cancer-related breakup tactic? Old lady, you don't actually believe that, do you?"

"Old auntie?" Lisa sneered. "Yeah, someone like you with a bust size smaller than your age does see everyone as an auntie. Little sister, how old are you to dare compete with your older sister for a man?"

Although Meijia's age-based attack was indeed too lethal for Lisa, who was in her early thirties, Lisa was still a well-known and powerful woman in the workplace. As long as Lu Ziqiao didn't get involved, her fighting power was not on the same level as Meijia's.

After Mika attacked Lisa by mentioning her age, Lisa's emphasis on "size" further enraged Mika.

Mika almost subconsciously looked down... and indeed, she could see her toes directly when she looked down.

"And little sister, let me tell you, no one stays young forever, but some people will never have a good figure."

"What a joke! Why should I care about forever or not? Anyway, the whole apartment knows that Ziqiao is my boyfriend. If you don't believe me, go and ask around."

Meijia has been wandering the world for so many years, and she understands very well what Lisa cares about most.

Judging from the way Lisa looked at Ziqiao, unless someone was blind, it was obvious that she was deeply in love.

Auntie, why don't you understand?

The guy in front of you is a jerk; he's not worth looking at with those eyes.

It's not worth it at all.

That affectionate gaze was, in Mika's eyes, the most ironic thing in the world.

Meijia despises all the girls who develop real feelings for Lu Ziqiao, that scumbag. She thinks they are blind and don't deserve it.

She mocked all the girls who had their hearts set on Lu Ziqiao, just as she mocked her past self.

"That's because Xiao Bu had amnesia, which is why he fell in love with you. Now that he remembers me, of course he won't choose you anymore."

"Hilarious! You actually believe he has amnesia? Fine, fine, you won't give up until you're absolutely certain."

Looking at the two women arguing incessantly, Ziqiao had completely given up trying.

Teacher Zeng, it's not that my brother isn't doing a good job, it's just that the firepower on the field is too intense right now.

I have to run.

Ziqiao immediately tried to slip away, but the two of them grabbed him and pulled him to the ground.

"Lu Ziqiao, tell me, am I your girlfriend or not?" Meijia asked stubbornly, raising her head.

"Little Bu, I didn't blame you for what you did when we couldn't contact each other before, but now you have to give an answer like a man." Lisa's calm tone was tinged with a hint of tears.

Ziqiao began to seek help, but Zeng Xiaoxian was in a daze at the moment, and Nanfeng even closed his eyes and pretended not to see.

"I, I, I... Stop forcing me!" Ziqiao cried out in despair.

Meijia looked disappointed: "We forced you? We forced you to get involved with so many women? Isn't this the price you have to pay for your philandering and womanizing?"

Lisa also felt that her slap earlier was too light: "Little Bu, the problem is that you haven't handled your emotional issues well. You have to make a decision eventually."

Ziqiao looked at the two girls in front of him and really didn't know what to say.

He rarely encountered situations where there was no way to smooth things over and he had to give a straightforward answer.

His past experience tells him that the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to run away. He plans to deceive and coax them one by one after they separate. If he really can't escape one of them, he can cleanly and decisively choose to "bomb the fishpond" (i.e., destroy the fishpond) and break up with both of them directly.

But now, one of them is Teacher Zeng's direct supervisor, and the other is Chen Meijia.

At this moment, they are all sad because of themselves, and eventually, one of them will continue to be sad because of their own words.

But one can only empathize with the joys and sorrows of one person.

"Lisa..." Ziqiao covered his swollen left cheek, still telling a lie that was half true and half false. "We had a wonderful night together, and I admit I liked you a lot back then, but that's all in the past."

"For years I have been waiting to meet you in pain and longing. I even became a priest and prayed to the Lord every day to meet you, but I waited and waited and still did not meet you... until I met Mika not long ago."

"The past is past, and the future has not yet happened, so I can only be responsible for my present."

"You can hit me, scold me, call me a scumbag, put up banners in my apartment to insult me, whatever you want, it's all my own fault. I gave up my long wait, and I fell in the last dark night before we could reunite."

"It's all my fault, no matter how you treat me, but I have one last request."

"All of this is a matter between you, me, and Meijia. It has nothing to do with Teacher Zeng. He was just afraid that you would be sad and upset if you saw that I already had a girlfriend, so he cooperated with the lie I made up."

"Teacher Zeng is a very good person. He cares about his friends, is happy to help others, and is very passionate about his career. Even if such a good man doesn't get a good reward, please at least give him a fair selection process and don't blame him because of our relationship."

Ziqiao took Meijia's hand and started to walk out, but Meijia looked at Ziqiao as if he were a monster, and didn't react at all as she was led by Ziqiao like a puppet.

"No, my fish, I haven't taken my fish yet." It wasn't until the two of them walked outside the door that Mika's chattering voice could be heard.

"Alright, Miss, your fish is very fresh. It won't be a problem if you process it later. You can go and prepare the other ingredients first... I'll help you."

"Can you do it?"

"Are you underestimating me...?"

The two voices faded into the distance, leaving Lisa alone, slumped helplessly on the ground.

"Ziqiao..." This call came from Zeng Xiaoxian.

Even when he was caught in his own mental turmoil, Zeng Xiaoxian could still hear the words being spoken around him.

Ziqiao almost single-handedly shouldered all the mistakes and responsibilities. Especially after hearing Ziqiao's final summary of himself, Zeng Xiaoxian felt that the bitter wine in his heart was not so hard to drink anymore.

"Lisa..." Xiaoxian, regaining his senses, helped Lisa up. "Please accept my condolences."

"I'm fine, I'm alright." Lisa wiped away her tears. Apart from Xiao Bu, she didn't allow herself to show her vulnerable side to outsiders.

"I'm very sorry to have made you see this." Lisa regained her composure and returned to her previous capable and professional demeanor... at least on the surface.

Zeng Xiaoxian comforted him, "I can completely understand, but please believe me, this has absolutely nothing to do with your personal charm. It's just a coincidence, a twist of fate."

"Then...you won't tell anyone, will you?"

"No, no, absolutely not. My female boss will always be a very feminine figure in my mind," Zeng Xiaoxian replied with a fawning expression.

Lisa turned to look at the south wind.

"I'll listen to Teacher Zeng." Nanfeng naturally had to stand up for Teacher Zeng at this time.

Lisa was now satisfied. She looked at Nanfeng with some doubt and asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Zeng Xiaoxian: ? ? ?

Seriously?! Again?!

What kind of strange trick is this this time?

I have a bad cold and really can't take it anymore. Slow typing is one problem, but the biggest problem is that my head feels foggy and everything I write looks terrible. I'll only be able to update once a day until I'm better. I estimate it will only be for the next two or three days.
