8 Drunkard (1/2)
Little Brother Ye started to feel weary after accompanying Ye Shuang for a stretch of the road. If you have been around a handsome or pretty friend before, you should be able to recognize what he was currently feeling—all of the attention was directed at Ye Shuang. You're one whole person standing there, but they always seem to look straight through you to focus on your friend…
This is such an insult! Have these women lost their minds? What do they see in this person who is even dishonest with his sex‽
Even though Little Brother Ye couldn't be called ugly, this was the first time he had been completely delegated to the background, and he was understandably pissed.
Of the two siblings, one of them was feeling down because of their dramatic physical changes, and the other was not in the mood because of being treated as if he was invisible; neither of them felt like chatting with the other. However, after about ten minutes of absolute silence, Little Brother Ye finally couldn't stand it anymore. He opened his lips and was about to say something when Ye Shuang, who was walking before him, suddenly stopped.
”Wait, what's happening over there‽” Ye Shuang asked hesitantly.
Little Brother Ye rolled his eyes. ”What now?”
Following his sister's gaze, he saw a drunken man vomiting by the roadside, holding the side of a car for support in a darkened alley… Of course, this was nothing out of the ordinary, in today's world, a little alcohol was to be expected at any social event. Therefore, even if the person vomited blood, it wouldn't be completely surprising.
The key issue was that several feet away from the man was a group of ruffians walking toward him, and it was obvious that they weren't going over to the man out of the kindness of their hearts.
”Abduction? Robbery?” Little Brother Ye widened his eyes in shock, but after he realized what was happening, he frowned and pulled on Ye Shuang's shirt. He hissed hurriedly, ”Sis, let's go! We don't want to get roped into this trouble.”
It was not that Little Brother Ye was particularly cold-hearted, but nowadays, Good Samaritans were often taken advantage of… Unsuspecting individuals were robbed blind when they were stopped by confused-looking con artists asking for directions.
Ye Shuang had read about such cases on the internet before, so she also hurried along before either herself or Little Brother Ye were spotted by the ruffians. By then, the group of ruffians had surrounded the man. The latter, even in his drunken state, seemed to retain some of his rationality. As the leading man of the group coughed, the man turned his face up to the dim street light. With Ye Shuang's improved eyesight, she could identify the face that was twenty meters away instantly.
”What the f*ck!” Ye Shuang unconsciously pulled Little Brother Ye back. She turned to him in shock. ”That's my boss!”
Well, technically, that was her boss' boss… The new general manager assigned to the company branch she was working at, Fang Mo.
Great income, great school, a quintessential successful man of today's society and the key point was he was still single…
Looking at the bigger picture, his achievements might not seem much, but for normal people, especially the female workers of the company, Fang Mo was a veritable catch.
”Your boss‽” Little Brother Ye was shocked by the plot's sudden twist. However, he recovered quickly. He glanced at Ye Shuang and the man who was surrounded, ”…Ignore it! After all, he won't be able to recognize you in this state!”
Furthermore, with your current condition, how many more days you think you'll be able to stay at that company‽
Ye Shuang started to have second thoughts. She would have walked away if this was some stranger, but abandoning her boss to the pack of wolves seemed a bit too heartless.
