Chapter 885: Brothers Are Meant to Be Pitied

~8 min read 1,486 words

Jian Yining: "What 'step'? There is nothing between us; we are perfectly innocent."

"Huang Qin is a good girl, you all misunderstood her. It is not easy for a girl to be out on her own; the things she has experienced are things you people living in the lap of luxury haven't even heard of."

He was somewhat indignant.

In Jian Yining's view, everyone was just being unreasonable and looking down on Huang Qin.

"Are you an idiot?"

Jian Yixin tapped her finger on her younger brother's forehead and said, frustrated that he wouldn't live up to expectations: "That woman is a classic green tea, a white lotus. She acts one way in front of you and changes into a completely different person in front of others."

"She is not a good person at all, and don't think you have that much charm; she is just after your money..."

His older sister's good intentions sounded very harsh to Jian Yining's ears.

He retorted: "It's not like what you said at all. She helps me with massage and healthcare. In these two months, she has never asked me for an extra cent. Huang Qin is truly simple; why can't you all think of people in a good light?"

The siblings parted on bad terms.

He wanted to go to the hospital to see Huang Qin, but he didn't even know the Hospital Ward number. It was as if Huang Qin had vanished from this world; he couldn't find her anymore.

He didn't mean anything else; he just wanted to tell her in person to go back and find a job, and that they shouldn't contact each other anymore to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

But he couldn't find her, and no one would tell him when he asked.

Jian Yining couldn't understand: such a pitiful, weak girl, how scary could she be?

They made her sound like a flood or a wild beast.

He couldn't understand it, and he couldn't get through to the women, so he invited his brothers out to drown his sorrows!

Club.

At the bar, glasses clinked, and on the table and the floor, many wine bottles were strewn about in disarray.

Several men were all drunk, with Jian Yining being the most intoxicated.

He slurred his words: "Tell me, was I wrong in this matter?"

"She's just a female college student I sponsored, and she was just helping me massage my cervical spine. Nothing happened at all. Why did it have to reach this point? The poor girl was driven to suicide by them; what more do they want?"

"Isn't death the ultimate punishment?"

He still felt very aggrieved.

Yun Zhe Hao: "A Ning, is your health okay? How has your marital life been lately?"

Jian Yining:...

"Get lost! I am perfectly fine."

Yun Zhe Hao: "Since your health is fine, they didn't wrong you. A man and a woman alone in a house doing massages—who knows if you are truly innocent or just pretending to be."

Sheng Zerong: "A Hao is right; you were in the wrong in this matter."

Sheng Hanyu didn't speak; he couldn't be bothered to.

To him, this kind of thing was actually not difficult at all; why bother agonizing over it? Just kicking her out would have been the end of it.

Is it that important who is right and who is wrong?

What matters is the result.

"Now Wan'er wants to divorce me, what should I do?"

"Don't divorce." Sheng Zerong put his arm around his shoulder: "A Ning, let me tell you, women say one thing but mean another. When they mention divorce to you, they don't really want to divorce; they are just testing your attitude."

Sheng Hanyu: "Listen to me, you absolutely cannot agree at this time. Just don't agree; die before you agree to a divorce." He had experience; just refusing to agree no matter what was the right way.

Yun Zhe Hao: "One word—"

Everyone: "Drag!"

The way men and women think is indeed different.

Without their wives around, their terrible ideas were one after another.

They told Jian Yining to drag out the divorce, and if she pushed too hard, he should demand child custody—and for all three of them.

Children are a mother's heart and soul; just don't give them to her!

Houses, equity, and money can all be given, but if she wants the children, don't give them.

As long as there is the tie of children, the marriage won't be dissolved for a while. If they drag it out long enough, Huang Qin will stop contacting him, and once their anger subsides, the two will naturally reconcile. They thought it was a beautiful plan.

Sheng Family.

The courtyard was lively; the children were playing a game of eagle catching the chicken, and the two sisters were sitting to the side, chatting while watching the children!

"Wan'er, A Ning said he is coming this afternoon. Are you still not going to see him?"

Jian Yining had been coming every day for the past few days, twice a day, but he couldn't even catch a glimpse of his wife.

"I won't see him. Until he figures out where he went wrong, I won't see him."

Wan'er reflected painfully: "I've thought it through these past few days. The reason A Ning is so self-righteous and thinks he isn't wrong is that I've been too good and too tolerant toward him, which made him think that no matter what he does, he will be forgiven by me."

"This incident can serve as a wake-up call. If I forgive him easily this time, he will only do worse things next time. Life is so long; if I just keep yielding infinitely, how will I be able to endure the days ahead?"

"Alright, as long as you are happy, I will always support you."

Hospital.

Under the strict surveillance of the nurses, Huang Qin still found an opportunity to sneak out.

She escaped the hospital and took a taxi directly to the company to find Jian Yining.

"General Manager, there is a girl outside wearing a hospital gown looking for you. She said if you don't see her, you probably won't be able to see her ever again."

"Let her in."

Jian Yining guessed immediately that it must be Huang Qin.

He hadn't been able to see Huang Qin these past few days, and his sister said Huang Qin didn't commit suicide at all, that she was just trying to scare him, and that after she gave that woman a sum of money, the woman left happily.

But he didn't believe this explanation.

The siblings were fraternal twins, and their thoughts were often in sync.

If Jian Yixin disliked someone, she would only use every possible means to make that person miserable; "everyone being happy" was simply not her style!

"Brother A Ning."

Huang Qin's hair was disheveled, and her face and body were covered in dirt and filth; she threw herself into Jian Yining's arms, called out once, and then fainted.

With the employees outside the office watching, he could not care about avoiding suspicion and carried her into his own office.

Her body was very cold; it was already late autumn, and she was only wearing a thin hospital gown and slippers when she ran out.

Her small face was as pale as paper, and her lips were blue and purple.

He turned up the heat on the air conditioner and covered her with his own clothes!

After a while, Huang Qin slowly woke up.

Looking at him, she still could not believe it, murmuring softly: "Brother A Ning, is it you? I'm not dreaming, am I?" Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks, her small appearance pitiable enough to easily stir a man's protective instincts.

Jian Yining had originally intended to draw a line between them and never see her again, but those words were now forgotten.

Right now, he only wanted to know what had happened to her over these past few days and why she had ended up in such a state.

"It's me, you aren't dreaming. Where have you been these past few days? Why is your complexion so poor?"

"I am fine, Brother A Ning doesn't need to worry about me. Being able to see you one last time before I die is already enough for me."

"I originally thought I wouldn't be able to see you again in this lifetime. I was so afraid, afraid that you wouldn't pay attention to me in the future. Brother A Ning, you know I have no other requests; I just want to see you once every day."

"Even if it's just a glance from afar, without saying a word, that would be good enough..."

She was putting on an act.

She said a whole bunch of sentimental words, but simply refused to answer the question.
