Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: They Are Sisters

That night, Sister Hong finished her business and returned home, only to find the house dark and seemingly empty, which annoyed her immediately.

Sister Hong sat on the sofa, visibly sulking, and after a long wait, the door finally opened.

A girl walked into the house, and at the moment she turned on the light, she saw Sister Hong’s gloomy face. However, she did not care and simply said indifferently, "Sis, I’m back."

Sister Hong was furious, "You know to come back? How many times have I told you not to hang out all day outside? Can’t you learn something good?"

Upon hearing this, the girl became defensive, "What do you mean hang out? I just went out for some drinks and danced a bit at a nightclub. How did that become hanging out?"

"You think I don’t know which nightclubs you’ve been to?" Sister Hong looked at the girl accusingly, who remained indifferent, "Isn’t it just that underground entertainment world you run? If you can run it, why can’t I go?"

Sister Hong got even angrier but still managed to control her temper, "Listen carefully, little sister, I have no choice, I must live like this, but I hope you don’t end up like me. I’ve paid for your education, your college, so you can get a proper job. I want you to follow a completely different path from mine."

"Thank you, sis, thanks for everything you’ve done, but I’ve grown up, I have a job, I can support myself, and I have the right to choose my own life and path," the girl said resolutely, obviously not willing to be persuaded.

Helpless with such a sister, Sister Hong asked, "Why can’t you just live a normal life instead of going out and causing trouble with those people?"

The girl seriously replied, "Because the most important thing in life is to be happy."

"Some things might bring you temporary pleasure, but they are actually ruining you..." Sister Hong tried to advise patiently, but the girl was not listening, "Alright, sis, I just had a fight with my boyfriend, and I’m really upset. Can we not fight when I come back?"

Sister Hong was surprised, "You have a boyfriend now? Who is he?"

"Don’t worry, he’s a classmate from high school, who had a crush on me for the whole of high school, he’s a decent person," the girl said and then scoffed, "At least I don’t bring men home to stay overnight like you do, making your own sister live in a rental and telling people you live alone."

"Miss, ’You have to adapt yourself to the dusty world as you come’; have you ever heard this saying?" Sister Hong felt bitter inside, what else could she do? When her status was low, she always faced troubles, and she didn’t want to drag her sister into it, so she made her sister move out.

The girl, however, could not understand Sister Hong’s situation and felt it was unfair not to let her stay in the house left by their parents.

Now that Sister Hong had come into power, she let the girl move back, but the girl was even unhappier. In her eyes, being asked to move out and then back in again was completely disregarding her feelings.

While Sister Hong’s situation had improved, the conflict with her sister intensified, and Sister Hong tried to resolve it but couldn’t manage it well.

Sister Hong watched her sister enter her room and slam the door shut as if a wall had separated them in two different worlds, sinking Sister Hong’s heart even deeper.

The next morning, Sister Hong got up early and made breakfast especially for her sister. Seeing her sister dressed very neatly, she asked, "Today is your day off, why are you up so early, going for a date?"

The girl nodded, "My boyfriend apologized to me last night and said he would take me somewhere nice today as an apology."

Sister Hong simply commented, "That’s good, someone who knows how to lower his ego and please a girl is quite decent."

After hearing this, the girl glanced briefly at Sister Hong, "How about you? Found anyone suitable? That toy boy you brought home last time was not bad; I haven’t seen him around recently."

Sister Hong was somewhat surprised, "You saw him."

The girl casually replied, "I came home to get some things last time and saw you holding hands with him walking out of the complex."

"Oh!" Sister Hong felt embarrassed. She had not been in contact with Lin Yue for a while, and Lin Yue had not taken any initiative either, as if something was missing between them.

However, thinking of Lin Yue’s sister, Lin Xi, who was not simple and cared for by Organization X, Sister Hong felt a chill. She really didn’t know how to handle her relationship with Lin Yue going forward, and whether they would simply stop contacting each other and naturally break up.

After breakfast, the girl’s phone rang, and she immediately picked it up, her anxious demeanor showing she still cared deeply for this boyfriend.

"Okay, you’re at the gate, I’ll come down right away." The girl hurriedly grabbed her things and was about to head downstairs.

"Wait a second, I have something to do as well, I’ll go with you," Sister Hong couldn’t rest easy and decided to follow.

"Sis, you...", the girl obviously knew Sister Hong’s intentions. She wanted to object, worried Sister Hong’s tough demeanor might scare away the boyfriend, but seeing Sister Hong’s firm expression, she knew she had no choice but to agree.

Thus, Sister Hong and the girl arrived at the entrance of the complex, where Guo Ye’s car was parked by the curb.

Guo Ye, seeing his girlfriend coming out with another beautiful woman, guessed that she must be her sister, so he also got out of the car and greeted them politely.

Sister Hong’s first impression of Guo Ye was that the young man looked quite refined and polite, well-mannered, and since he was a high school classmate of her sister’s, she believed he could be trusted to take good care of her sister.

Guo Ye, eager to make a good impression, actively opened the car door for the girl, demonstrating a sincere apology.

"Then sis, I’m off!" The girl waved goodbye to Sister Hong with a smile.

The car started, and Guo Ye couldn’t help but say, "I didn’t know you had a sister; you never mentioned her before."

The girl felt a bit awkward, "You never asked about my family, so I didn’t mention it."

"Fair enough," Guo Ye started to make conversation, "Did you know? Gu Fan and Li Shi decided to start a company together. In the future, when we want to switch jobs, we could consider having them employ us old classmates first."

The girl was surprised upon hearing this, "What? They are starting a company together? Are they also together? That’s sensational news; I need to share it in the class group."

Guo Ye quickly interjected, "Gu Fan said this matter should be kept quiet; the fewer people know the better to avoid misunderstandings. After all, Gu Fan has a girlfriend, and going into business with Li Shi isn’t what it might seem."

The girl seemed disappointed, "What, Gu Fan, really, starting a company with Li Shi yet not being together with her? I don’t understand what Gu Fan is thinking, isn’t he worried his girlfriend and Li Shi might start fighting when they meet?"
