Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 116: The Fourth’s Stance

The house phone rang, and Yu Mingyi went to answer it.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaohong was crying with her mom next door. Upon hearing Yu Mingyi answer the phone, one stood guard while the other tiptoed to the extension to eavesdrop.

The phones were interconnected, so one could hear what the other was listening to.

"Second Brother, you’re still alive?" Yu Minglang’s voice came through. Every time he called home, that was always the first thing he’d say to his second brother.

Phew, it’s not a woman, Wang Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to hear what this annoying brother-in-law had to say, so she held her breath and listened in.

"Yeah, just got home."

"How’s my girl? Is anyone bullying her?"

"No."

"Why do you sound half-dead—oh, I get it, haha, serves you right." Yu Minglang showed no sympathy for his second brother.

After all, his second brother had a strong psychological endurance. With such a troublesome wife like his sister-in-law, his brother could tolerate it. For an ordinary man, divorcing eighteen times wouldn’t be surprising. His second brother was like a Ninja Turtle.

Facing his brother’s mockery, Yu Mingyi acted like he didn’t hear it.

"If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"Wait, I have something, Second Brother! When you go back, make sure you bring some food to my girl every few days. I can’t see her from afar and can’t take care of her."

"Okay."

Upon hearing the brothers’ conversation, Wang Xiaohong was startled. Could it be that Yu Mingyi went to university not to chase girls? Does this mean Yu Laomao’s girlfriend is at that school?

Then didn’t she just make a fuss for nothing?

While pondering these twists and turns, she heard Yu Minglang’s voice clearly over the phone.

"Sister-in-law, I know you’re listening, so rest assured. All the money you’ve given to my brother has been collected. My brother doesn’t even have extra money to buy things for my girlfriend. This money I note down for my brother separately, no need for your family to pay."

Wang Xiaohong was so scared that she quickly hung up the phone, her heart thumping.

Oh my, this little tyrant Yu Minglang, how did he know I was eavesdropping?

After hearing the sound of the extension click off, Yu Minglang snorted disdainfully.

With that kind of intelligence, she still dares to play tricks on my second brother. If it weren’t for the fact that my brother remembers the kindness from Wang Xiaohong’s brother, he wouldn’t bother with their mind games. If he got serious, he could take down this unfortunate woman in no time.

"Second Brother, do you plan to keep living like this—turning a blind eye and restraining yourself? Really, if you want a divorce, I’ll act as your free legal advisor. If you feel frustrated, my girl studies psychology, and she can counsel you for free. What do you say? Mom took your son, you know. Based on who’s raising who, if you don’t want your child to be raised poorly, start considering it."

"Mind your own business."

"Fine, count it as me worrying for nothing. I won’t talk to you anymore. I need to get to work. Take good care of my girl for me. You’re the closest, and if you ever feel distressed, just chat with my girl. She’s kind-hearted and won’t charge you a consultation fee—since you’re broke anyway, didn’t all your money go to that woman?"

"Get lost." After hanging up his brother’s call, Yu Mingyi was puzzled.

Having a girlfriend, does doing that make Yu Laomao so happy?

What’s so good about being in love, no matter how it is during the dating phase, after marriage, it’s all the same quarrels... Thinking of the crying woman next door, Yu Mingyi looked at the blue sky outside. He wished for the long holiday to end soon. He already missed the days of soaring freely in the sky. Perhaps, he should take Panpan and visit their parents...

After hanging up the phone, Yu Mingyi opened the door to see Wang Xiaohong holding her son, smiling like a flower, totally opposite to her earlier fierceness.

"Mingyi, finished with the call?"

"Yeah."

Wang Xiaohong’s mother came out holding a turtle, gesturing to her daughter, and said to Yu Mingyi, "Mingyi, I made some nourishing soup. You’ve worked so hard, you should take care of yourself at home. I’ve checked the almanac; next year is a good year for having kids. You both should think about having one of your own..."

Yu Mingyi reached out to take Panpan, silently glanced at the turtle... "Panpan is my son."

"No matter how good someone else’s child is, it’s still not as good as having your own. While Xiaohong is still young—"

"I’m taking Panpan back to my family’s place. Mom says she misses the child."

This kind of talk every time he returned annoyed Yu Mingyi to no end.

Holding Panpan, he walked out. Seeing this, Wang Xiaohong was about to explode, but her mom quickly blocked her. Carelessly, the turtle bit her.

"Ouch! This thing bites!" Wang Xiaohong’s mother shouted, shaking her hand continuously.

Yu Mingyi plucked a hair from Wang Xiaohong’s head and inserted it into the small holes on either side of the turtle’s head, making it release its bite immediately.

"Don’t shake it; the more you shake, the harder it bites. Apply some medicine and then quickly go to the hospital for a tetanus shot."

After saying that, Yu Mingyi left. Wang Xiaohong was busy attending to her mother’s situation, but she didn’t forget to complain.

"Mom, do you think there’s something wrong with him? I feel he needs to see a neurologist. There’s definitely something wrong with his brain."

"Silly girl, what does it matter if he’s stupid or not? Hurry up and get pregnant. Tie down the Yu family. You just don’t know how to win over your parents-in-law’s affection. If you had handled your relationship with your in-laws well, would your brother and sister’s jobs be so difficult?"

"I do want to get pregnant, but he has to..." Wang Xiaohong’s eyes flickered. Could it be that Yu Mingyi found out something?

No, he definitely doesn’t know. Otherwise, why hasn’t he mentioned divorce?

How to have a child with Yu Mingyi is a problem.

After Yu Minglang moved out, Qian and her teammates completely said goodbye to hellish training. The new instructor was very gentle. The training was still intense, but unlike before, there was no unnecessary picking on them. Despite the strict demands, no one complained.

The new instructor would also play the guitar and sing for everyone during breaks. He even used his meager salary to buy popsicles for everyone. The training was rigorous, and everyone cooperated well. Though it was tough, no one backed out.

The new instructor was quite popular among the students. As the training drew to a close, many girls cried, and some boys’ eyes turned red. The new instructor also found it hard to part with them, leaving his phone number. Although Qian knew many would never call, the pure emotions had already taken root in everyone’s hearts.

Once college training is over, it becomes hard to find such pure feelings again. One might recall those fragments even after many years of work, and a faint warmth would linger in their heart. In life, how many times can one experience true purity? Though it was tough at the time, recalling it felt meaningful.

Yu Mingyi had mentioned that the trainees could join the choir if they chose to, but Qian didn’t go.

She didn’t think she couldn’t endure such hardships. She wasn’t that delicate. As long as she wasn’t singled out for trouble, she could do what others did.

She stayed, and so did Shi Yu. This girl, for whatever reason, took a liking to Qian and clung to her relentlessly, no matter how little Qian acknowledged her.

Apart from Shi Yu, Qian unexpectedly found herself with another follower, Dong Yi.
