Wang Xiaohongâs hand went limp with fright, nearly dropping the phone. She dare not rage on anymore; she had a bad feeling about this.
âMing Yi, you must be busy with work. I wonât bother you anymore.â
âWhereâs Panpan?â Yu Mingyi wanted to hear his sonâs voice.
âHeâs at grandmotherâs. The kid doesnât want to leave when he sees his grandma. I canât help it.â
âThen hang up.â
Yu Mingyi abruptly ended the call, leaving Wang Xiaohong with an uneasy feeling.
No matter how much she had previously made a fuss, Yu Mingyi had never mentioned divorce. Even though he only agreed with her today, it still made her feel very apprehensive.
She called her younger brother, Wang Xiaobo, asking if Yu Mingyi had been particularly close to any woman recently. Knowing that Yu Mingyi had been busy with work, Wang Xiaohong was still anxious. This anxiety made her more restless and her body longed for contact.
She walked towards the wardrobe, taking out a small box, which was a box of condoms. Then, she walked downstairs, silently taking a cucumber from the kitchen, but after looking at it, she put it down and replaced it with an eggplantâ¦
Yu Mingyi was completely unaffected and finished up his recent work. A call from Ming Lang came through.
âSecond Brother, come downstairs, Iâm outside your office.â
Yu Mingyi glanced at the time. It was already 9 pm. His youngest brother coming at this time made him think for a few seconds before he looked at his phone thoughtfully.
Yu Minglang waited for Yu Mingyi to come out, signaling for his second brother to get in the car. Neither of them spoke in the car. Yu Minglang drove him to a night-time hotel in downtown, booking a room, ordering a few small dishes and a bottle of wine. After pouring for his second brother, he raised his wine glass and the first thing he asked was,
âSecond Brother, have you ever had any casual relationships out there? From the past till now, be honest.â
âNo.â
Yu Mingyi picked up his wine glass and drank it all at once.
âDid my sister-in-law meet up with Wang Xiaohong today?â
âWhat does it have to do with my sister-in-law⦠wait, did you know in advance that that woman was sick?â Yu Minglang, a smart man, guessed it in an instant.
His sister-in-law was a gynecologist. Wasnât it possible that his second brother knew about it way earlier?
âYes.â
The wine glass slipped from Yu Minglangâs hand, shattering on the floor.
âYou knew?!â
âYes.â
Yu Minglang was completely in shock. He quickly collected his thoughts as he had considered many possibilities when he arrived.
For example, his second brother could have messed around and gotten some disease, but he quickly denied this idea.
He was unsure about others, but he knew his second brother would never do such a thing. Therefore, when Yu Mingyi denied it, Yu Minglang quickly believed him.
However, what Yu Minglang didnât expect was that his second brother knew about it all along?
âUnless you instigated her disease, it means she had problems from the start, and you still married her? Second Brother, have you lost your mind, or no, is your brain filled with feces?â
Yu Mingyi quietly filled his wine again, clearly not wanting to answer. Second Brother was a really obstinate man. If he didnât want to utter a word, no one was able to pull a word out of him.
âDonât say anything else, go back and file a divorce. Give her the money she should take, do what you should do, send her as far away as possible. Donât tell me you have feelings for her, I wonât believe it even if I am beaten to death.â
If his second brother
actually liked Wang Xiaohong, Yu Minglang would have to smash his head open with a brick. It would have to be some extreme taste that would make him like her.
In fact, Second Brotherâs current behavior was beyond understanding. With his capabilities, why did he have to choose a problematic and inferior woman? Sorry, he could only use such a term to describe Wang Xiaohong.
âI promised her brother that I wouldnât divorce her until her illness was cured.â
âSo, you want to watch her anger our mother to death? Second brother, you are really something. Do you treat others this way? Are you so harsh on yourself that you have to find such a woman to punish yourself? Iâve said it so many times about what happened back then, it had nothing to do with you. It was a natural disaster. Just how long do you plan on punishing yourself?â
When Yu Mingyi heard what Yu Minglang said, his face tightened angrily, clutching the wine and intending to pour a full cup, only to be stopped by Yu Minglang.
âWho wouldnât feel bad when a comrade sacrifices themselves? But it has nothing to do with you, Second Brother. It was a natural disaster, not you who caused harm!â
A few years ago, there was a chance for an official business trip at Yu Mingyiâs unit. Yu Mingyi should have gone, but then he was ill and his condition wasnât good, so they didnât bring him along. He narrowly escaped a disaster.
Wang Xiaohongâs brother came back alive, but one of Yu Mingyiâs close colleagues sacrificed himself. From then on, Yu Mingyi had been in a state of depression.
His comrade had insisted on operating until the very last moment to protect the airplane and refused to parachute out, leading to his sacrifice. All these years, Yu Mingyi couldnât get past it. Although he didnât say it, Yu Minglang knew that his second brother must have felt that he should have been the one who died that day.
Latterly, Wang Xiaohongâs brother developed cancer. His only dying wish was for Yu Mingyi to marry Wang Xiaohong. Without a second thought, Yu Mingyi agreed, and as a result, he hasnât had a peaceful year since.
âEven if you feel guilty about Brother Maâs death, what does that have to do with you marrying Wang Xiaohong? Her brother also went, but in the end, didnât he come back alive? If you ask me, her brother never meant well. There are so many people in your unit he could have entrusted his sister to, why must he pick someone from a prestigious family? Why didnât he find a brother with a poor family to marry his sister?â
Yu Mingyi was silent for a while before finally saying, âYoungest brother, donât stick your nose into my business.â
âIf I donât care about you, who else would I care about? Youâre my brother, my real brother! If she meant to live her life with you, I wouldnât say anything. But look at how she is now, is that how a normal woman behaves? You seem pretty comfortable wearing this green hat, have you ever thought about our parentâs reputation?â
If word of this spread, how could the old Yu family carry on? It would be too humiliating.
âShe had that sickness before we got married.â
âI⦠fuck!â Yu Minglang was absolutely done with his brother.
So, was it that he knew what Wang Xiaohong was like all along?
âSecond Brother, what are you thinking about? Can you talk to me properly? Not for anything else, but just for the sake of Panpan, okay?â
âWhat happened to Panpan?â
âPanpan has child phobia. Do you think your son could turn out okay under the influence of such a woman?â
âHas it been diagnosed?â
When it came to his son, Yu Mingyi immediately became very serious.
âMy girlfriend diagnosed it⦠whatâs with that look on your face? Donât think that my girlfriend is just a university student who just started school, she is really accurate with such things.â
âLetâs get a diagnosis for Panpan first, then weâll see.â
âWhat about when itâs diagnosed, will you divorce her then?â
âYes.â
Upon hearing Yu Mingyiâs firm response, Yu Minglang sighed with relief.
âIf you werenât my real brother, I wouldnât even bother with you⦠Second Brother, in front of a woman like her, do you really have any fantasies?â
Yu Minglang had been puzzling over this question all night. He thought his brother couldnât possibly have such distasteful preferences..
