Chapter 123: Under house arrest again

If the matter between Liang Feng and Xiaocai was a bolt from the blue, then when Shen Yixiao mentioned that my parents were returning to China, it was like the sky falling and the earth splitting.

I feel a little dizzy and I have emotional problems. When I am seriously stimulated, my body reacts and I feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't know. I haven't been in touch with my parents for a long time. Don't you know it best?" I couldn't panic and could only cheer up and answer.

Shen Yixiao frowned, "Really? Then who is this?"

He showed me a photo that Lu Xiaoyun sent him. It was a picture of my mother in the ward, with my father and Li Qingming also there.

How did Lu Xiaoyun get this photo? I remembered the last time I went to the hospital to visit my mother and met Lu Xiaoyun. Did she check which ward I went to?

That’s the only way it makes sense.

Liang Feng never told me that Shen Yixiao knew that my parents were back, which proved that Shen Yixiao was already on guard against him.

"Lu Xiaoyun said that you went there to visit the woman in the photo, and you also said that you have no contact with your parents?" After Shen Yixiao turned off his phone, his face became more and more unhappy.

I didn't say anything, but I felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart.

Xiaocai was beaten so badly by Shen Yixiao, then my parents… he will definitely hold a grudge against what happened back then.

Shen Yixiao sat down next to me, he put his arm around my shoulders, and his voice softened a lot, "Actually, I know that you broke off relations with your parents and you felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to go to them over the years to ease your relationship, but your father is an old stubborn man and will never forgive us. There's no need to go after him. Aren't we living well now?"

He has been brainwashing me like this all the time. He likes to show off his love for us and constantly create the illusion of our happiness in the media, just to let my parents see it and let them know that I am living a good life with him and that their opposition at the beginning was completely wrong!

He doesn't want to divorce for the same reason. He doesn't like the feeling of being slapped in the face. If those people who said he couldn't make me happy knew that we were divorced, wouldn't they be right?

"Shen Yixiao, don't go looking for trouble with my parents. My mother was just sick that day and I went to see her. I have no other contact with them." My tone became humble unconsciously. I didn't want to provoke Shen Yixiao anymore, so as not to put my parents in danger.

After Shen Yixiao sensed my weakness, he laughed, leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, "Wife, we are a family. You know I don't have any other family. Your parents are my parents. I was really angry when they opposed me. Now my mind has changed. As long as we are fine, they are still my elders, my father-in-law and mother-in-law. How can I do anything to them? I respect and love them too much!"

"As long as you forgive me, I will no longer have any contact with Lu Xiaoyun, and she will leave the company immediately."

His words were clearly threatening. He knew all the information in my phone. There was no hope for Xiaocai. If I insisted on exposing him, the safety of my parents and Li Qingming would be difficult to guarantee.

I was silent for a while, and finally took a deep breath and asked, "Then...what about Xiaocai? And Liang Feng, how are you going to deal with him?"

Speaking of Liang Feng, Shen Yixiao's face turned ugly, because he always regarded Liang Feng as his best brother. In his heart, brotherhood is the most important thing. In the end, his good brother betrayed him.

I have experienced this feeling of betrayal before, so I know how painful it is.

“I can let Xiaocai go, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to speak in the future. As for Liang Feng, you don’t have to worry about him.” Shen Yixiao replied coldly.

"Liang Feng had no choice but to do what I said. Don't do anything to him. Aren't you two best brothers?" I advised him anxiously.

Seeing my anxious attitude, Shen Yixiao showed a trace of suspicion on his face, "Why, are you worried about him?"

I nodded, "Of course, he and I are also very good friends."

"I told you, don't worry about it, just go to sleep." Shen Yixiao let go of me, his face becoming more gloomy.

The more I showed that I was worried about Liang Feng, the more he hated Liang Feng.

Seeing Shen Yixiao leave the bedroom, the worry on my face disappeared. My tragic experience in the last life was inseparable from Liang Feng's help, so if Shen Yixiao really did something to him, I would not feel worried or guilty at all. This is a debt they owe me.

Just now, it was just to make Shen Yixiao more angry, so that he could turn against Liang Feng more directly.

When I wanted to go out, I found that the bedroom door was locked from the outside and I couldn't open it.

This scene seemed familiar. In my previous life, I wanted to divorce Shen Yixiao, but he put me under house arrest and did not allow me to go out or contact anyone. While torturing me like this, he did all kinds of things to beg for my forgiveness until I gave in. Then, Lu Xiaoyun lived in my house with a big belly until she gave birth.

On the day of delivery, Shen Yixiao was extremely nervous. I felt hopeless as I watched him pace at the door of the delivery room.

The difference is that in this life, my cell phone is still in my hand and he hasn't taken it away. Because now he has my parents as a bargaining chip, and he knows that I won't act rashly and send out the evidence, otherwise I would be playing with my parents' personal safety.

I took out my cell phone and opened my address book, and found that I didn’t even have anyone to talk to or discuss things with, so I ended up having to let it go.

At this time, the cell phone rang. It was a message from Sun Xiaoling: Li Yue, are you ready? The day after tomorrow will be the official start time.

I picked up the phone again: I'm ready, Sister Xiaoling.

Sun Xiaoling: Are you available to answer the phone?

I can.

Soon, Sun Xiaoling called me. When I answered the phone, I heard her choking voice.

I was a little worried, "Sister Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?"

"I plan to quit the program, but it is very unethical to do so. It is about to start airing. Not only is it a matter of liquidated damages, but it is also bad for my reputation." Sun Xiaoling's tone was very depressed.

"Why? Did you quarrel with your husband again?" I noticed that something was wrong with her mood.

"Li Yue, I don't know who else I can talk to. Last time I told you, he has always had a woman outside, but I put up with it because we have two children. But two days ago I found out that he has a three-year-old illegitimate child outside!" Sun Xiaoling was about to collapse when she said this.

I was shocked and immediately thought of my own situation. It can be said that we really share the same suffering.

Sun Xiaoling was sobbing on the other end of the phone. I didn't know how to comfort her. Maybe she just wanted someone to listen to her and didn't really need comfort. Verbal comfort is actually not very useful.
