It's one thing if one or two exes are obedient.
It's unheard of for all of these exes to be so well-behaved, obedient, and sensible, working together to trick their brother-in-law!
Not only that, after receiving her brother-in-law's large red envelope, she cheerfully called out to Shen Linfeng:
"Brother-in-law, don't worry."
He returned to WeChat, opened the WeChat group, and quickly initiated a voice call before seamlessly switching to a video chat.
As a result, a bunch of people online were vying to call him "brother-in-law".
Shen Linfeng's eyelids twitched wildly; it looked like he was going to lose money today.
but...
Why do those "brother-in-law" calls sound so...childish?
Shen Linfeng looked at Zhao Wenxun in surprise:
"Is your ex-boyfriend ten years old?"
Tang Li and Jing Jiu, who were standing nearby, also heard the voice of the noisiest little kid. Jing Jiu covered his face.
"Your sister doesn't have that kind of special fetish, does she?"
Obviously not!
Something's definitely not right!
Tang Li frowned:
“Sister-in-law, you can’t just say things like that.”
Zhao Wenxun was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight, and he took out his phone to coax her:
"Be good, all of you. Stop fooling around. I'll bring your brother-in-law back after the wedding, and then you can all fawn over him one by one."
After hanging up the video call, Zhao Wenxun beckoned the first boy over, put his arm around his shoulder, and said:
"Little brother, everyone says you're my ex. What do you think about that?"
The boy scratched his head, but ultimately bravely challenged Shen Linfeng:
“If Sister Xun were to give me a chance to be her boyfriend, you should be standing there right now, and I would be their brother-in-law.”
What an arrogant tone!
Shen Linfeng was both amused and exasperated.
"Wife, what exactly is going on?"
What Shen Linfeng asked was exactly what Tang Li and the others wanted to ask.
Zhao Wenxun, who was laughing wildly just a second ago, suddenly had tears in his eyes.
Shen Linfeng responded immediately:
"Don't cry, my wife. Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. I believe you, I believe you unconditionally."
Zhao Wenxun punched him in the chest:
"Believe it? You really think I have 107 boyfriends?"
One hundred and seven might be a bit of a stretch.
After all, that kid who only knows how to play in the mud couldn't possibly be her boyfriend.
Shen Linfeng only knew that she had many ex-boyfriends and that she frequented nightclubs and bars, but since he had fallen in love and made his choice, he would always stand by her side.
Seeing Zhao Wenxun cry, the dozen or so boys also choked up.
Actually, we are...
Just as the boy in the lead was about to tell the truth, Zhao Wenxun stopped him:
"Alright, you've attended the wedding, received the red envelopes, and met the people. Now go back home. Spend more time reading books and don't wander around aimlessly."
It seems there's something he's having trouble saying.
After understanding, Tang Li walked over and said:
"Since you're already here, drink the wedding wine before you leave. Ah Xun, go change your clothes first, I'll take care of things here."
The wedding ceremony is over; now it's time to enjoy the food and drinks.
Zhao Wenxun grabbed Tang Li's hand:
"Come with me."
Tang Li glanced back at Jing Jiu, who nodded at her and then went to greet his 'former' brothers.
Zhao Wenxun took two steps, then stopped:
"Young Master Huo, President Lu, please come along too."
The group looked at each other, wondering what Zhao Wenxun was up to.
But they all obediently followed Zhao Wenxun to the dressing room.
After clearing the stylists, makeup artists, and others out, Zhao Wenxun closed the door.
"Please sit down, Linfeng, you sit down too."
Since his wife hadn't even sat down, how could Shen Linfeng dare to?
He stood right next to Zhao Wenxun:
"They can sit, you can stand, and I'll stand too."
Zhao Wenxun pretended to be angry:
"If I tell you to sit, then you sit."
Shen Linfeng plopped down, as if he was afraid that even a second's delay would affect his image as a devoted and filial husband.
Tang Li and the others were even more well-behaved than those 'ex-boyfriends' younger brothers outside, sitting upright like elementary school students.
Zhao Wenxun cleared his throat:
"Actually, we all share a secret, except that I keep it a secret for my closest relatives, while they keep it a secret for themselves."
Zhao Wenxun's eyes reddened again, and Shen Linfeng silently handed her a piece of paper.
"Lili knows that I have an older brother."
In fact, Tang Li had already guessed it when Zhao Wenxun's eyes first reddened.
But twenty years have passed, and she never expected Zhao Wenxun to bring it up again.
"My brother..."
Zhao Wenxun burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth. Shen Linfeng shifted his body but dared not stand up. Tang Li did get up, but Zhao Wenxun stopped him.
"It's okay, I can do it."
“My brother was only fourteen years old when he passed away. He was awakened by a nightmare as dawn broke and jumped from the thirtieth floor, ending his seven-year nightmare life.”
Being so young at the time, she had no idea what was happening.
I only found out when I grew up that when my brother was seven years old, my parents were busy with their business and left him in the care of a nanny. It turned out that the nanny's husband was a beast.
It wasn't until his older brother begged their parents to have another child that they started to care more about him out of guilt. But the tragedy had already happened. As he wrote in his diary, he was desperately trying to live, but nightmares kept reminding him that the painful and unbearable past would stay with him for the rest of his life.
Until death.
But beasts have only lost a few years of freedom.
Once the time limit is up, they can once again roam freely in this world.
