"That's not how it is... Brother, I won't mince words with you, given our relationship. She's a married woman who's been gone for days, ignoring her husband and son. Isn't that going too far? If she were staying at her parents' house, I wouldn't say anything. It was wrong of me to hit her, and it's understandable that she's angry. But what's going on now? Nobody knows where she is. I feel like I've been cuckolded..."

"Li Shuai," Han Yunqi said seriously, "Huang Jiaojiao has known us since childhood, and you two have been together for over ten years. Do you really think she's that kind of person?"

"That's not entirely true..." Li Shuai said, sounding conflicted, "But which man wouldn't have some thoughts about this? My mom has brought it up with me more than once..."

Han Yunqi glanced helplessly at Tang Xiaoxiao; he had no answer to that question.

Silence was the only option.

Fortunately, Li Shuai wasn't really expecting him to give any advice, and after rambling on for a while, he hung up the phone.

"A mama's boy," Tang Xiaoxiao said sarcastically without any politeness.

With a forced smile, Han Yunqi turned to the side and gently placed his hand on Tang Xiaoxiao's stomach.

Tang Xiaoxiao was not in a good mood.

She had absolutely no respect for a man like Li Shuai. He wasn't unaware of who was right and wrong in the conflict between his mother and wife, but he was blatantly biased, choosing to be a good son instead of a good husband.

Isn't it just because Huang Jiaojiao always tolerates him and even gave birth to his child that he thinks Huang Jiaojiao will never leave him, so he acts recklessly?

So you can't spoil people.

Thinking of this, she kicked Han Yunqi in annoyance.

Han Yunqi: ? ? ?

......

Huang Jiaojiao had been confiding in Tang Xiaoxiao a lot these past few days, and Tang Xiaoxiao could tell that although she was full of resentment towards her married life, she still couldn't bear to part with her child or Li Shuai.

Going back is only a matter of time.

It was a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive, and Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't interfere. Although if it were her, she would have no choice but to divorce. But Huang Jiaojiao wasn't her; everyone has different thoughts, and she had no right to make decisions for Huang Jiaojiao.

Fortunately, with her intervention, Huang Jiaojiao at least avoided being smeared and unable to defend herself.

She will have to walk her own path from now on.

After Huang Jiaojiao's attitude softened significantly and she expressed her desire to go back and see her son, Tang Xiaoxiao knew the time had come.

Han Yunqi then called Li Shuai and told him that Huang Jiaojiao had actually been at his house the whole time.

But that's definitely not how it was told. On the phone, Han Yunqi spoke with great emotion, exaggerating Huang Jiaojiao's miserable situation after returning to her parents' home several times over, as Tang Xiaoxiao had instructed. He said that they were afraid something might happen to Huang Jiaojiao when they left, so they took her with them so that they could at least take care of her and prevent her from doing anything foolish.

These past few days, keeping it from Li Shuai was out of necessity. Huang Jiaojiao's emotions were very unstable; one second she would be smiling brightly, and the next she could burst into tears. Tang Xiaoxiao stayed by her side almost fearfully, and dared not go against her wishes to reveal her whereabouts to Li Shuai.

Li Shuai felt extremely guilty over the phone, repeatedly apologizing, "It's all my fault, I was too impulsive. I usually don't dare to fight back when she hits me, but I was really drunk that day... I've caused trouble for my brother's wife..."

Tang Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh and mouthed to Han Yunqi, "Make him come and pick her up in person, or don't even think about letting your wife go back."

Han Yunqi said into the phone, "She seems much better these past few days. Yesterday she even said she missed her son. You'd better make some time to come over and pick her up in person. It would show some sincerity, wouldn't it?"

"Of course, of course, I'll be there tomorrow. I won't thank you enough, brother, I'll remember this kindness in my heart."

Han Yunqi touched his nose and hung up the phone.
