Chapter 425: Chapter 399: Want to Cry Silly (Monthly Ticket 200+ Updated)

Dong Yi and Xiao Qian were similar, both having low-volume, gentle voices. The fact that her voice reached this decibel showed that she was truly angry.

“Yu Mingyi! You should be the one seeing a doctor! Is there something wrong with your brain?!”

Mother Yu was startled, then looked at Xiao Qian, raising her eyebrows.

The meaning was, this is your so-called perfect match?

Xiao Qian awkwardly smiled and whispered, “Actually, this is like how Uncle wrote on your lunch box back in the day, a similar technique. Were you yelling at Uncle like this?”

Before Mother Yu could respond, they heard Second Brother Yu’s serious explanation from the inside.

“My brain is fine, we have regular check-ups. You’re the one always fainting. You might be sick. When I say I like you, you faint. When I say I don’t like you, you still faint. Clearly, you’re the one who’s sick.”

Aiya… Mother Yu massages her forehead, stimulated by her silly son.

This silly boy, is he planning to be a bachelor for his whole life?

“Ah!!!”

Dong Yi’s frustrated scream came from inside.

Xiao Qian swore, they were seriously arguing in there. As family members, shouldn’t they feel worried or something? But why did she want to laugh so much?

Hahaha!

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mother Yu’s mouth twitching, and Xiao Qian felt balanced. Look, even her own mother was amused by Second Brother Yu, her laughing wasn’t a big deal, right? Pfft…

What a pity the phone had no recording function. If only she could record it for Xiao Qiang to listen to, it would be a great way to relieve fatigue and calm their mood. Really, for Yu Mingyi to find someone in this situation, it was truly a miracle.

“Da Yi, don’t be afraid. If you’re sick, we’ll see a doctor together, take the medicine we need, and the Unit Hospital gives discounts to employees…”

Xiao Qian turned around and faced the wall, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. This joke would keep her going for the next six months.

“I’m not sick, you are sick, you’re the one who’s sick, you’re sick, sick, sick!” Dong Yi was so angry she started babbling.

“Alright, I’m the one who’s sick. Don’t get angry, don’t faint again, put on your coat and go to hospital…” Yu Mingyi appeased Dong Yi, but she didn’t seem to appreciate it?

“Yu Mingyi, I’ll ask you seriously, do you like me or not––never mind, don’t answer. Based on your first answer, you like me!”

Dong Yi finally got it, continuing to argue with him could lead to further stress, really.

She closed her eyes and used Boss Qian’s self-control techniques to manage her emotions.

Now she needed to deal with each issue one by one, yes, she needed to stay calm.

Dong Yi’s EQ wasn’t particularly low, at least much higher than Yu Mingyi’s. It was just that she had very little contact with people before, so she lacked some experience. But by being with Xiao Qian, she had also learned some ways to handle issues. After suppressing her anger, she seriously said to Second Brother Yu:

“You’ve talked about your situation, now let me talk about my feelings. I think I’m not good enough for you. You know about my family situation. Both of my parents have passed away, and we’re in a poor financial state. I could only attend university due to subsidies. Your family is well-off, and if we were together, your parents might not agree.”

I agree!!! That’s what Mother Yu was yelling inside her heart. After hearing her son’s performance just now, she truly felt this kind of quality should be discounted asap. Whoever was willing to take him could hurry and take him home. Who would want this kind of man for their daughter? Wouldn’t they be enraged every day of their lives?

Xiao Qian held Mother Yu’s hand and signaled with her eyes, Aunt, you have to stay calm, don’t be so excited, you can’t interfere with their matters!

Alright, I’ll bear with it. Mother Yu clenched her fists, pressed her ear against the door, and eavesdropped shamelessly.

Xiao Qian felt that she really started to like this future mother-in-law, a lovely old lady with no airs, a bit gossipy and exceptionally warm-hearted.

“My parents aren’t like that, they wouldn’t mind such things.” Yu Mingyi didn’t like her self-deprecation, her belittling of herself. She was clearly a good girl.

Yes, yes, he got that part right. Mother Yu couldn’t help but nod, and her hair accessory accidentally brushed the doorbell on the security door.

Yum Mingyi heard the sound and walked over. Xiao Qian knew that at this critical moment, the involvement of an outsider would ruin Second Brother Yu’s chances. With Second Brother’s introverted personality, he might not have another chance to open up after being interrupted once. After all, incidents like Wang Xiaohong’s mother provoking people didn’t happen often. So, what should they do?

Yu Mingyi swore that he really heard the doorbell. But when he walked over and opened the door, there was no one outside.

When Yu Mingyi closed the door, Mother Yu removed the basket from her head and glared at Xiao Qian hiding behind the cabbage pile.

The only one who would dare to put a basket on their future mother-in-law’s head was Chen Xiaoqian.

Xiao Qian blinked, removed her hand from Panpan’s mouth, and thanked her quick reflexes in that situation.

This was an old-fashioned neighborhood, with two households on each floor and various debris piled up in the hallway, including cabbages. The time it took for Second Brother Yu to walk from the inner room was just enough for Xiao Qian to cover Mother Yu’s head with an empty basket, pressing her hand down for her to squat, while she quickly hid behind the cabbage pile with Panpan. The advantage of being small and slim was demonstrated here – if she were any chubbier, she would have definitely been exposed.

Xiao Qian made a gesture towards the door, indicating to continue eavesdropping. Mother Yu gave her a helpless look, then followed Xiao Qian in eavesdropping.

A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s relationship is built on the foundation of gossip and doing naughty things together. Xiao Qian’s genuine nature unexpectedly won over Mother Yu’s adoration even more. This refreshing and unconventional way of winning her over was indeed a nice change.

Due to this little interlude, Dong Yi and Second Brother Yu fell silent once more. Courage isn’t something that everyone has, or can be manifested at any time. Dong Yi had originally intended to gather all her courage and reveal her inner thoughts in one go. But this interruption took the words right out of her mouth, and she didn’t know how to start again as she looked at his handsome face.

Yu Mingyi stayed quiet for a moment before breaking the silence.

“Anyway, I believe you deserve to be treated better and shouldn’t waste too much time on a man with a child. The reason I’m telling you this is that I hope you don’t take today’s incident to heart. I’ll handle those people.”

Would the hard-won step forward be in vain? Would everything return to its starting point?

Mother Yu listened anxiously from outside. Silly son, is this the time for you to carry on in your usual manner? Why don’t you be brave?

Xiao Qian closed her eyes. This was the fundamental reason why she didn’t want to interfere with Second Brother Yu and Dong Yi’s situation. The window paper was thin, and it was easy to poke through. But what the world was like outside was not something a psychologist could explain. It still depends on the individual.
