Chapter 282 Brothers are used as scapegoats

"I will be back as soon as possible, don't worry." After a long time, Shen Yixiao comforted Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Xiaoyun hung up the phone and gave me a bright smile. "He is worried about me being alone in the country, so he will come back soon. Li Yue, you and Xu Zhengnan did so many things behind his back that were not good for him. What you should worry about is your safety."

I knew this without Lu Xiaoyun telling me, because Shen Yixiao had said before that he would not let Xu Zhengnan and I go. He himself is a person who cannot stand being bullied. We have repeatedly tried to target him in secret, so of course he will remember it in his heart.

If that fool Meng Zicheng really took on all the domestic affairs, then Shen Yixiao would have found a way to escape, but this time, he would need to sacrifice his good brother.

Xu Zhengnan came to me with the medicine. When he saw Lu Xiaoyun, a subtle emotion flashed across his face. Then his eyes fell on me, asking me about my condition with his eyes.

"Let's go." I didn't say much, I just walked over, took his hand, and almost pulled him out of the hospital.

After returning to the car, I told Xu Zhengnan about what happened to Lu Xiaoyun and Shen Yixiao.

Upon learning that Meng Zicheng was going to take all the responsibility, Xu Zhengnan's expression became serious, because Meng Zicheng was involved in almost all of Shen Yixiao's affairs, and it was feasible for Meng Zicheng to take responsibility for everything.

Including the matter of Jiang Fang, as long as Meng Zicheng said that he did it, it would make sense, unless Jiang Fang saw Shen Yixiao present when she was beaten.

From her description, it was clear that Shen Yixiao was not there at the time.

After returning home, Xu Zhengnan received a call from Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu said he wanted to meet him, but Xu Zhengnan refused, "I don't have time now. If you have something to say, you can just talk over the phone."

"You unfilial descendant!" Grandpa Xu cursed angrily. I could tell he was very angry. After he finished cursing, he started coughing violently. I was very worried as I listened to him.

If lung cancer is in the middle or late stages, the treatment effect is not very good. Moreover, Grandpa Xu is so old that his body cannot withstand high-intensity treatment, so he is likely to choose conservative treatment.

Thinking of this, I pulled Xu Zhengnan's sleeve and said, "Let's go meet Grandpa Xu."

When Grandpa Xu heard my voice, he hung up the phone.

Xu Zhengnan said helplessly, "Li Yue, you don't have to suffer for me. It's useless for you to be tolerant of them. My mother has been tolerant for more than 20 years and has never been recognized by them. I don't want you to suffer like my mother."

"After all, they are your family. Now you may stay away from them because you are angry, but have you ever thought that what if one day you are like your father, missing your home at the end of your life and regretting the cold war for so long?" I had to mention Xu Zhengnan's father.

Hearing this, Xu Zhengnan's expression turned cold, "I won't regret it."

I don’t know if he will regret it, but there is a high probability that he will, just like when I resolutely broke off relations with my family for Shen Yixiao, and when I ended up living an unhappy life, I couldn’t help but regret it.

"Actually, Grandpa Xu is sick. Did you know about this?" I asked tentatively.

Did Aunt Yang tell him?

Xu Zhengnan was a little surprised, "Sick?"

Judging from his reaction, he didn’t know that Aunt Yang didn’t even tell him about this.

Let me tell you about it.

I answered solemnly, "Yes, it's mid-to-late stage lung cancer. This is what Aunt Yang told me. I don't know why she didn't tell you, but in this situation, you really need to reconsider how to face Grandpa Xu and the others."

Xu Zhengnan fell into a long silence. His eyes were obviously a little stunned. He sat on the sofa, staring at the TV which was not turned on for a long time.

I went to the bedroom and gave him some space to be alone so that he could think calmly.

After about an hour, he pushed the door open and walked in, his face gloomy, "I'm going to meet him, you wait for me at home."

"Okay." I nodded.

Xu Zhengnan went to see Grandpa Xu, and I told Aunt Yang about this.

Aunt Yang replied: Thank you, Xiaoyue.

Actually, there's nothing to thank me for. I'm also considering Xu Zhengnan and hope he lives a good life in the future.

It was not until the evening that Xu Zhengnan came back from the Xu family's old house. As soon as he entered the door, I felt a sense of depression and a very bad mood, but after seeing me, his face regained its calmness, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, Auntie just finished making it." I pointed to the dining table.

He held my hand and said, "Okay, let's eat together."

At the dinner table, I asked him some questions about meeting Grandpa Xu, but he didn't answer me very carefully. There was a high probability that this meeting was unpleasant.

I tactfully stopped asking any more questions.

——

A week later, Meng Zicheng's story became a hot topic on the Internet.

He returned to China and surrendered himself to the police.

He took all the responsibility for anything related to Shen Yixiao, and at the same time, Shen Yixiao's return to China was also related to it and became a hot topic.

Shen Yixiao denounced Meng Zicheng's actions in front of the media and regretted it deeply, "I thought he just liked to play, and never thought that he did so many evil things behind my back. It's my fault that I didn't discover his problem in time and bring him back to the right path."

His acting skills are very good. With Meng Zicheng as a willing scapegoat, he can shirk all responsibilities and clear himself completely.

No matter what you say or do, it's all justified.

Just when these things caused heated discussions and everyone was guessing whether they were true or not, Liang Feng stood up and admitted that he and Meng Zicheng did it together, and that Meng Zicheng could not do so many things alone.

I was a little surprised. Liang Feng was crazy?

I thought about it and took the initiative to contact Su Ying: When you were sent to Brother Xiong before, was Shen Yixiao present?

Su Ying was probably also paying attention to these things, and she replied quickly: “No, it was Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng who sent me there. Shen Yixiao may have been prepared for it a long time ago. Some shameful things were done through the hands of Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng.

I put down my phone, feeling heavy-hearted.

Shen Yixiao has always been very cunning, but I never thought that one day he would abandon his two best brothers.

Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng were willing to give everything for him, doesn't he regret it?

In the past, he felt that brothers were more important than anything else.

"Miss, will Mr. Xu come back for dinner today?" Auntie asked me when I was in a daze.

I looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Xu Zhengnan seems to be very busy these days. He is so busy that I hardly see him. But he comes back every night and holds me in his arms when I fall asleep, and we sleep till dawn.
