Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: He Knows Everything

Wang Xiaohong’s hand softened in fear, and she almost dropped the phone, not daring to continue her tantrum. She had a bad premonition.

”Mingyi, you’re busy with work, right? I won’t disturb you.”

”Where’s Panpan?” Yu Mingyi wanted to hear his son’s voice.

”He’s with his grandma. When the child sees his grandma, he doesn’t want to leave. There’s nothing I can do.”

”Hanging up.”

Yu Mingyi directly hung up, and Wang Xiaohong felt uneasy.

No matter how fierce her argument before, Yu Mingyi had never mentioned divorce. Though today he merely followed her words, it still filled her with strong unease.

She called her brother Wang Xiaobo, asking whether Yu Mingyi had been particularly close to any woman recently. Knowing Yu Mingyi had been busy with work, Wang Xiaohong still felt nervous; this nervousness only made her more anxious, triggering her body’s craving for physical contact.

She walked to the wardrobe, took out a small box resembling a box of condoms, and then went downstairs. Silently from the kitchen, she picked up a cucumber, looked at it, put it down, and switched to an eggplant...

Yu Mingyi was entirely unaffected, finishing his recent work when Yu Minglang’s call came in.

”Second Brother, come downstairs. I’m just outside your unit.”

Yu Mingyi glanced at the time; it was already 9 PM. At this time, seeing Yu Minglang arrive, Yu Mingyi pondered for a few seconds and then seemed to have a thought while looking at the phone.

Yu Minglang waited for Yu Mingyi to come out, signaling his brother to get in the car. Once inside, neither of the brothers spoke a word. Yu Minglang drove his brother to a city hotel that’s open at night, booked a private room, ordered a few dishes, a bottle of wine, and poured his brother a full cup, saying the first sentence while holding the wine glass.

”Second Brother, have you ever casually hooked up with someone, any man or woman? From the past until now, tell me honestly.”

”No.”

Yu Mingyi raised the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

”Did our sister-in-law meet with Wang Xiaohong today?”

”What’s it got to do with our sister-in-law—wait a minute, Mingyi, did you already know that woman is sick?” Yu Minglang is a smart person and instantly figured it out.

His sister-in-law is a senior gynecologist, so could his second brother already know?

”I knew.”

Crack, Yu Minglang’s wine glass fell to the ground, shattering.

”You knew?!”

”Yes.”

Yu Minglang went numb, rapidly organizing his thoughts, having considered many possibilities on the way here.

For instance, his second brother messing around and catching an illness, but Yu Minglang quickly ruled this out.

He wasn’t sure about others, but his second brother would definitely never do such a thing, so when Yu Mingyi denied it, Yu Minglang immediately believed him.

But what he hadn’t thought was that his second brother had known for a while?

”If it wasn’t you who caused her illness, then that means the woman had issues long before you met her! Yet, you still married her? Mr. Yu, are you brainless, or is there sewage in your head?”

Yu Mingyi silently refilled his glass, obviously not wanting to answer. Mr. Yu is an incredibly stubborn person; if he chooses not to talk, no one can pry words from him.

”Don’t say anything, just go back and file for divorce, give money if you have to, deal with it however necessary, send her off as far away as possible. Don’t even mention feelings, I wouldn’t believe it if you killed me.”

If the second brother liked Wang Xiaohong, Yu Minglang might as well hit himself over the head with a brick till he died, thinking the taste that heavy would surely kill him.

Honestly, Mr. Yu’s current actions truly leave people baffled. With his conditions, couldn’t he find any kind of woman to marry, but chose a diseased wretch? Sorry, he could only use such words to describe Wang Xiaohong.

”I promised her brother that I wouldn’t divorce her until her illness was cured.”

”You want to watch her make our mom sick from worry? Mr. Yu, you’re something else. Are you really torturing yourself by sticking with such a woman? I’ve told you countless times, that incident years ago had nothing to do with you, it’s a natural disaster, how long do you want to keep punishing yourself?”

Yu Mingyi tensed at hearing this from Yu Minglang, attempting to refill his drink until Yu Minglang held him back.

”Everyone feels bad about comrades sacrificing themselves, but what does that event have to do with Mr. Yu? It was a natural disaster; you didn’t harm them!”

Several years ago, there had been a business trip opportunity within Yu Mingyi’s unit. Although Yu Mingyi was originally supposed to go, he unexpectedly fell ill and couldn’t go, narrowly avoiding disaster.

Wang Xiaohong’s brother returned alive, while a close colleague of Yu Mingyi sacrificed themselves, and from that point on, Yu Mingyi had been lost in an unending depression.

The comrade sacrificed themselves by refusing to eject and insisting on controlling the plane till the last moment; Yu Mingyi had never been able to move on, never talking about it, but Yu Minglang was aware that his second brother undoubtedly felt he should’ve died back then.

Later, Wang Xiaohong’s brother contracted cancer, and his only request before dying was for Yu Mingyi to marry Wang Xiaohong, which Yu Mingyi agreed to without hesitation, resulting in constant trouble over the years.

”Even if I’m lenient, guilty over Mr. Ma’s death, what does that have to do with marrying Wang Xiaohong? Her brother left too, but in the end didn’t he return alive? I’ll say this: her brother didn’t have good intentions at all. Out of everyone at your unit, why didn’t he ask someone from a good family background instead of you to marry his sister?”

Yu Mingyi was silent for a long time, ”Don’t get involved in my affairs, youngest one.”

”Who else am I supposed to care about if not you, my brother! You’re a real brother! If she genuinely lived peacefully with you, I wouldn’t utter a word. Take a look at her, what’s she turned into, would a normal woman get that kind of illness? Comfortable with that green hat, have you considered our parents’ reputation?”

If such a thing spread, the Yu Family could hardly continue. Too humiliating.

”She already had that illness before the marriage.”

”Seriously... Darn it!!!” Yu Minglang was almost speechless with admiration for his brother.

Seems like Yu Mingyi had long known what a disaster Wang Xiaohong was?

”Second Brother, what were you thinking, can you speak honestly with me? Not for anything else, but for Panpan, please?”

”What’s wrong with Panpan?”

”Panpan has pediatric phobia, don’t you think your son will do well with that kind of woman?”

”Is it diagnosed?”

Mentioning his son made Yu Mingyi instantly serious.

”My girlfriend checked—don’t give me that look, don’t underestimate my girlfriend as just a college freshman; she’s really accurate with these assessments.”

”Let me take Panpan for a confirmed diagnosis first.”

”Once confirmed, will you divorce?”

”Yes.”

Hearing Yu Mingyi’s firm answer, Yu Minglang let out a long sigh of relief.

”If you weren’t my real brother, I wouldn’t bother with you at all—Second Brother, have you ever had thoughts about that kind of woman?”

Yu Minglang pondered this question, holding back for a whole night. He couldn’t believe his brother’s taste was that extreme.
