Chapter 1075 - 1047: Everyone Was Shocked
Upon hanging up the phone, Yu Minglang thought about how Qian never tolerated any nonsense from anyone. If Qian said Minglang was busy with work, then it must be true.
After all, no one could mess up under Qian’s watch without her noticing.
So... the silhouette she saw last night might only resemble Minglang. It surely wasn’t him.
Yu flipped open the notes Qian left her. Coincidentally, she was reading about psychological issues in marriage; this page happened to address extramarital affairs.
Qian’s beautiful handwriting clearly stated that betrayal within a marriage can lead to various mental illnesses, and the psychological harm inflicted on a spouse is incalculable.
Yu shivered and hurriedly closed the notebook.
The silhouette resembling Minglang from last night’s walk resurfaced in her mind.
It’s all just coincidence.
Yes, that’s it.
"What are you thinking?" Her second brother brought up some washed fruit. He had just finished his flight and now had time to accompany his wife.
Looking at her second brother’s face, which resembled Minglang so much, Yu’s anxious feeling resurfaced. Ah, looking at this face at such a time feels ominous!
Thus, her second brother noticed that his little wife, who always admired him with shining eyes, turned her head away from him in disgust, refusing to look at his face.
His self-esteem took a big hit!
The second brother rubbed his chin, wondering if he hadn’t shaved clean enough that morning, causing discomfort for his wife.
Pregnant women are said to behave strangely at times.
"Second brother, what’s your view on affairs and would you betray your family?"
"No, I wouldn’t."
These two always spoke directly to each other, and her second brother replied frankly to her, not forgetting to ask.
"Why are you bringing this up?"
"I—" Actually, Yu wanted to ask if since he wouldn’t betray his family, then his brother should be similar to him, right?
The words reached her lips but felt inappropriate, so she swallowed them back. She had only seen a silhouette, not yet confirmed, how could she doubt her brother-in-law?
Her second brother, seeing her like this, casually opened the notebook Yu had just closed. The page she was reading was marked with a metal bookmark and easily found. Upon seeing the content, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Did Wang Xiaohong find you and say something to you too?"
Wang Xiaohong was her second brother’s ex-wife; their marriage was in name only. Later, with the effort of his youngest siblings, her second brother divorced Wang Xiaohong.
Yu had been with her second brother for some time after the divorce. She always believed this woman had forever exited the stage, but according to her second brother, had this woman been in contact with him during this time?!
When her second brother divorced, he gave Wang Xiaohong substantial financial support, even sold a house to give her money, because she was the sister of his deceased friend and suffered from gynecological and psychological ailments. Her second brother helped stabilize her life before divorcing.
His marriage to Yu happened long after, when the Wang Family had stopped trying to reunite with her second brother despite repeatedly trying. Eventually, Yu heard nothing more from her second brother about contact with this family.
Now Yu was pregnant. Hearing from her second brother, Wang Xiaohong seemed to have contacted him?!
Her second brother almost never kept secrets from Yu. He always answered her questions seriously, and this time was no different.
"She did come to me, saying she was encountering some difficulties recently. I helped her contact a doctor, but that’s all there is, nothing more."
"She’s ill?"
"Yes, a mental illness. I’ve already found her a doctor; I didn’t tell you to avoid affecting your mood."
Her second brother appeared to be the coldest in the Yu family, but in reality, he was quite the opposite.
Despite his ex-wife betraying him and doing wrong things that led to the marriage breaking up, should something happen like this after their divorce, her second brother would not turn a blind eye. Although he felt no affection, he would still offer assistance.
"Mental? Specifically what type, could my expertise help analyze it?" Yu greatly disliked Wang Xiaohong. Before any romantic involvement with her second brother, Wang Xiaohong and her family had made a series of malicious moves, giving Yu insight into their shamelessness and unscrupulous behavior.
So when her second brother mentioned Wang Xiaohong sought help, Yu’s first reaction was whether this family was up to some trick again?
"You’re pregnant now, not suited for stress. I’ve already assigned other doctors to handle this, and I won’t see her again. Don’t think too much about it."
"Hmm, okay." Yu nodded forcefully.
"Do you feel uncomfortable because I saw her?" After the experience with Qian almost whisking her away, her second brother was also trying to communicate about any issues.
"A bit uncomfortable, but not because you saw her privately. It’s because I worry she might do harm to you again."
Her second brother gently placed a kiss on her cheek.
"She won’t."
Words unspoken merely fester in one’s heart. Once spoken, it’s just a sentence.
This issue didn’t cause much of a ripple after their honest conversation, but the real storm surged the following day.
Her eldest brother led Qian to close the net, then grabbed the lab results and stormed with Feng Manman all the way from Q City to Lishi, unexpectedly encountering someone they’d least expect.
After receiving lab results, Feng Manman was left in a breakdown state. Upon seeing the positive result, her immediate reaction was to find Yu Mingli, but Yu Mingli’s secretary told her the eldest brother had "gone abroad."
Unable to find her eldest brother, Feng Manman’s mind was occupied with revenge; she immediately thought of the person who advised her and charged all the way to Lishi, but didn’t realize a mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, her eldest brother and the group had been shadowing her all along.
Upon reaching Lishi, her eldest brother couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the person—it was Wang Xiaohong’s family!
Wang Xiaohong’s mother led several of the Wang Family members, playing mahjong with Feng Manman’s two brothers. Feng Manman kicked the door open and barged in, flipping the table.
"Are you crazy?" Feng Feng looked at his crazed sister. She wasn’t keeping her pregnancy safe at Yu Mingli’s to collect money, what was she doing back here?
"It’s you who are crazy! Look at what kind of advice you gave me! And you people, your malicious intents! Making me cling to some big shot, now he’s sick, and he’s passed the illness to me—you all deserve to die!" Feng Manman’s fear of AIDS had erupted to the extreme, making her look utterly deranged.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes wild with madness, nails extended like a demonic spirit from hell demanding lives.
"What did you say? Yu Mingli is sick?" Wang Xiaohong’s mother slammed the table upon hearing this, causing the mahjong tiles to bounce up, laughing aloud.
"Haha, serves him right. The heartless men of the Yu family all deserve to die, it’s karma!"
