Chapter 16: Narrow-minded jealousy of my brother, my brother Yuzhi
It is too harsh to expect a young girl who is inexperienced in the world to become the perfect wife that Meng Yuzhi carefully considered in just one day.
Meng Yuzhi's tone wasn't cold, even though it was no different from his usual indifferent attitude. But judging by the fact that he still had the patience to listen to Chi Liuai's rambling for more than ten minutes, he didn't seem to be bothered.
Until Chi Liuai came and started telling lies.
Chi Liuai didn't want Meng Yuzhi to know about his brother's existence.
It's not because she is afraid that others will laugh at her past life experience, but because she cherishes it too much.
Only with very close people would she dare to quietly release the hand that was covering her heart, revealing a little bit of the gap between her hands.
Say to this person - look, this is my brother, I have family too, you can only take a look, no more than that!
The brief emotional fluctuation made Chi Liuai's nerves go from tense to relaxed. She muttered unconsciously, and she didn't know whether Meng Yuzhi hung up the phone.
She kept lying, mentioning the famous internet-famous stores in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and emphasized that this was a bustling university town. In short, she was bored being left alone at home. After all, there was a loophole in her words, and she revealed that she came to meet a friend, and she hurriedly tried to make up for it.
This is the impression Chi Liuai gives to everyone, using clumsy methods to cover up a trivial little secret.
Even if she came to see her brother, would Meng Yuzhi care about such an insignificant person? No.
Chi Liuai talked herself into a panic. The sudden loss of being rejected by her brother and the loneliness in the cool night breeze gave her an illusion.
She no longer had a home to call home.
She knew very well that the Chi family had never welcomed her.
Her brother abandoned her again, and her concern outweighed her resentment.
Meng Yuzhi......
"Hmph! Why haven't I arrived home yet? Brother Yuzhi, why didn't you come pick me up in time?" Chi Liuai mistakenly thought that Meng Yuzhi had hung up the phone early because she had breached the contract. This might mean that she would lose a towering money tree that she could rely on. She felt wronged and heartbroken, "How can I go home if you don't come to pick me up!!!"
There was a light laugh coming from the phone.
This time I really hung up the phone.
This laughter made Chi Liuai feel fear from the bottom of her heart. Chi Liuai's greed for money was no less than the mentality of "if I don't pick up money when I go out, I will lose it." Moreover, the glimpse of Meng Yuzhi's life she had enjoyed in the past few days made Chi Liuai feel the solid feeling of wealth whispering.
It was a sense of security, as if everything was nourishing her, as if her feet were firmly planted in the earth after having eaten a full meal.
Now they are all gone, including an antique in Meng Yuzhi's collection museum that she had taken a fancy to last night.
Chi Liuai rarely blamed himself for not living up to his expectations, and then he mentally commented that Meng Yuzhi was a hypocritical and stingy person.
Finally, Chi Liuai felt the soreness in her calves, and she no longer stubbornly stood at the conspicuous intersection.
Without the hustle and bustle brought by the crowds of street stalls in the streets and alleys, Chi Liuai felt a little cold. She squatted at the bus stop next to the green belt, searching for nearby hotels with her mobile phone, and suddenly realized that she had left a small shawl at Lin Zhun's house.
She felt a little happy, but was a little afraid to go up and get it.
Suddenly, a pair of men's shoes came into view, and Chi Liuai looked up in surprise.
At the same time, she put on her coat and her sight was completely captured by Lin Zhun's face, while everything else became blurred.
Lin Zhun didn't say much. He saw the tip of the girl's nose was red and reminded her, "There are catkins everywhere these days. You have skin allergies, so remember to wear a mask."
But Lin Jun didn't know that Chi Liuai's mild allergy had long been nurtured by high-quality clothes and food and had never recurred.
Chi Liuai's eyes lit up, blinking, and then he thought about something, revealing a naughty smile, even his wet eyelashes curled up a little tail: "Then what kind of mask should I use? Should I take medicine before the allergy, or take it every day? I even forgot what foods I am intolerant to. Do I still need to go to the hospital after the allergy? I have never been hospitalized alone. What if the doctor says I need surgery? Brother, will I die! Chi Cheng will definitely kill me! He is so bad."
"Brother, look at my hands! They're so itchy, are they allergic now?!"
......
Lin Zhun's chest was filled with the fumes of cooking oil, exhaust fumes from cars, and the stench of dirt from the street.
His sister was obviously so easy to raise, but Chi Cheng actually forced her to become a girl who was always worried about life and death, and she should be at the most carefree age.
So the phone vibrated and cut off their conversation. The moment Lin Zhun picked up the phone and left, he subconsciously said to Chi Liuai, "I'll consider what you said. Before that, live a good life, okay, Liuai."
Chi Liuai looked at Lin Zhun's back which did not stop for a moment, feeling happy and sad. Was her brother really in such a hurry to leave that he didn't even want to look back at her?
Chi Liuai, who is a bit petty, has a history of grievances.
Used to write revenge plans.
Recently, she secretly added some money, but she didn't dare to tell her family or Meng Yuzhi about it. She wanted to reveal it to the people she was most familiar with bit by bit.
But Lin Zhun left too quickly, and Chi Liuai felt a little depressed.
Actually, brother, there was a bad guy named Meng Ran who secretly drugged me and hasn't apologized to me yet.
But he is Yuzhi's younger brother...
One cold and lonely night, she realized belatedly that she seemed to have been hurt.
I want to cry...
What arrived first, rather than the tears, was a Bugatti parked steadily on the side of the road with its hazard lights on.
Chi Liuai smiled.
Brother Yu!
Brother Yuzhi is the kindest and most generous man in the world.
He has outstanding looks, a muscular body, astonishing wealth, good character, powerful hands, perfect skills, and... and... a cold facial expression——
Chi Liuai probed obediently: "Brother Yuzhi."
Chen Hui closed the car door, the car started, and the space was instantly closed.
This made Chi Liuai slowly exude a sense of belonging that did not belong to Meng Yu's family, did not belong to Chi Liuai, and even did not belong to the entire upper class. However, compared to these, what was more eye-catching was Chi Liuai.
Chi Liuai herself was a little unsure of Meng Yuzhi's attitude. She grinned stiffly and said, "I came home too late today, but no matter how late it is, I will look for you. Sorry, please don't ignore me. You know, we young people are a little playful. I just wanted to experience college life again, so I came to the university town for a stroll. I didn't expect..."
She had taken it for granted that the villa she lived in Hangzhou was her home.
Chen Hui sighed sincerely, of course in his heart. After all, after spending a few days together, even he could clearly see that Chi Liuai's behavior was not presentable. His only advantage was that he was thick-skinned, but he also had a bad temper. If it weren't for that pretty and charming little face, few people would have the patience to get entangled with Chi Liuai.
It seems that he doesn't even have many skills to please people.
She was busy finding excuses for herself.
Mr. Meng never spends too much time on such people.
Meng Yuzhi, who was excluded from the group of young people by Chi Liuai's implicit words and was called an old man, lowered his eyes and looked at Chi Liuai.
He didn't want to listen to what Chi Liuai said, but the words "Please don't ignore me" inexplicably passed through all channels of sound and went straight to his heart.
Meng Yuzhi asked: "Why?"
Why don't you want to be punished when you do something wrong?
"Ah?" Chi Liuai realized belatedly that her slightly curled black eyelashes still showed tears shed for another man. She rubbed Meng Yuzhi's shoulder desperately, leaving the tears on Meng Yuzhi's well-tailored suit. Chi Liuai also smelled the sandalwood scent and the lingering luxury of the drinking party on this man.
After Meng Yuzhi turned his gaze away from the two deep tear marks, his Adam's apple paused.
Chi Liuai hurriedly tried to get into Meng Yuzhi's arms, but of course this action was hindered.
Meng Yuzhi's work files and computer were neatly placed in the spacious space, but Chi Liuai, who was never steady, bumped into the metal corner of the computer and cried out in pain.
Chen Hui and Meng Yuzhi were both silent.
Chen Hui even anticipated where to park the car after he had asked Chi Liuai to get off so that Miss Chi could take a taxi away.
Unexpectedly, Chi Liuai didn't feel embarrassed at all and quickly created opportunities for himself.
Move the documents, computer, and contracts in Meng Yuzhi's hand away one by one, far away from his desk.
After completing these tasks, I sighed with relief.
She snuggled into Meng Yuzhi's arms with a wronged look on her face, and the auras of the two people, which shouldn't have been in the same place, blended together at that time.
She buried her head deeply in Brother Yuzhi's chest, rubbing it again and again.
"Because I feel that wherever Brother Yuzhi is is my home. I want to be with Brother Yuzhi, so I will go home no matter how late it is."
Chi Liuai thought Meng Yuzhi was asking - why do you come home so late?
She felt that she had a heavy burden on her shoulders. Chi Liuai had been trying to please others since she was a child. Even if she hadn't said a word or two of flattery, she would start to throw a tantrum and order others to do this and that. Even if others were angry, she would shamelessly fold her hands and beg them not to abandon her, and she would never make mistakes again.
But Brother Yuzhi is so hard to coax.
Chi Liuai coaxed herself to be more tolerant of this man. After all, she still wanted the vase she had set her eyes on.
"If I come back late, Brother Yuzhi, please wait for me. Maybe I just walk slower than others, but I will go home." Chi Liuai rested his chin on Meng Yuzhi's shoulder and said softly.
She was naturally pretty, like a kitten, but her eyes betrayed a naiveté. When Meng Yuzhi first met her, it was like seeing a deeply insecure stray cat, meowing tentatively at everyone in the seemingly insincere world of fame and fortune, searching for prey to feed her.
As a result, because its fangs were still immature, it could only grab its prey and suck on it from time to time.
Look, she didn't even give a flattering kiss this time.
Well, we’re full outside, Meng Yuzhi knows that.
But in the end, these words made Chi Liuai look so pitiful. Meng Yuzhi was not cold-hearted, but he was not a good person either.
"Aren't you continuing your university studies? From what you said during the day, it seems like you're doing very well in your studies." Meng Yuzhi teased the cat. "Why are you starting to miss the university town?"
Chi Liuai thought, "Oh no!" Meng Yuzhi must have secretly spent a lot of time investigating her, otherwise how could she have been exposed? Chi Liuai thought she was naturally gifted at lying and had never failed. She had never expected that in this small matter, she would be set up by the capital and secretly invade her personal privacy. She even felt fear in her bones. She didn't dare to say anything more. After all, if she dug deeper, she was afraid that Meng Yuzhi would know her high school physics report card with a score of 9.
So, Chi Liuai hesitated and spoke hurriedly, intending to lie again, but unexpectedly blurted out some honest truths: "Because, because I was expelled from school."
"reason."
"It's not mine, so I don't want to study it." Chi Liuai whispered, "I didn't get into it by exam, it was Chi Cheng who forced me to get in."
It's not mine, I don't want it.
If I don’t like it, I don’t want it.
Chi Liuai kept these words in her heart. She could have been a normal student back then, studying in high school, taking supplementary classes, and taking the college entrance examination to enter a university with her own college entrance examination score. However, she and Chi Baoyuan had an irreconcilable conflict. Chi Liuai felt so guilty about this that she felt resentful and fearful. She was afraid that others would know the reason why she was sent to a strange country.
Chi Cheng didn't like her and casually sent her to a second-rate community college. Chi Liuai's life was shaped by the choices made by others.
She was afraid of being picked out by others while trying so hard to show off among a pile of goods.
She was also afraid of having nothing, so she could only become the most eye-catching existence. No matter good or bad, as long as someone cared about her, it would be fine.
Now, she was even more afraid that Meng Yuzhi would know the reason. She didn't want to waste all her efforts, so she downplayed the reason for dropping out.
"I swear, I'm not lying. I was just... so happy today that I forgot the time."
She wore a pair of pink slippers with cheap prints, and the leather seats had a few subtle water stains, which also appeared on her smooth, white calves. She lacked the proper etiquette of a lady, and seemed unaware that every move she made was impolite. She broke all her shortcomings into biscuit crumbs and fed them to Meng Yuzhi, allowing him to savor them carefully.
Meng Yuzhi gave a little response, and he put his hand on the back of Chi Liuai's neck.
This strong control action gave Chi Liuai, who had been immersed in helplessness abroad for several years, a great sense of security. At the same time, Chi Liuai could not look away.
The scrutinizing look from above and the fake sincerity in the gaze actually blended harmoniously together.
At that time, Meng Yuzhi disdained to lie to Chi Liuai.
Chi Liuai didn't have the courage to continue lying. She felt that she should give Brother Yuzhi a kiss at this moment.
A kiss of apology.
A kiss from a long-term partner, colleague, or wife.
But the one who needed an active kiss more was her, and her heart was beating fast at this moment.
She needed an irrational, alcohol-fueled skin-to-skin contact like that night, to give her a sense of existence and security.
But, Brother Yuzhi asked her.
"But you're wearing a man's clothes."
Meng Yuzhi's fingertips caressed Chi Liuai's lips, which suddenly turned cold.
On that thin layer, he felt the girl's violently beating pulse, and asked slowly and carefully:
"Does this please you?"
It turned out that the coat that Lin Zhun gave to Chi Liuai when he went downstairs to shelter her from the wind was his.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
V is coming on June 11th!! Bro is finally making his official debut, I can't wait! Later on, when Meng Yuzhi and Lin Zhun meet, it's probably going to be a battle to see who can serve Liu Ai better. He Jinze will be a bit late to the show. This bro is also a heavyweight, with a lot of self-brainwashing and trickery, hahaha. But there's a reason why Meng Yuzhi can be the male lead... [smirk]
The next novel of the same genre is "The Spoiled Man," a story about a man who gets married first and then falls in love, and a secret crush that comes true. A strong and feudal father discovers after marriage that his well-behaved wife is actually a playboy! Please add it to your collection!
On the day her fiancé cheated on her, she had a flash marriage with a stranger and didn't even remember what her husband looked like. Shen Yubai left the country.
Everyone in the circle laughed at her widowhood-like marriage.
Only she walked into the Shen residence with tears in her eyes, leaned against the door, covered her mouth and tried not to laugh out loud.
Yay! Not only did she have money, but her husband didn't come home.
One day, Song Suili took off her heavy makeup and went to the bar to dance late at night. The man in the booth next to her caught her eye.
Their eyes met in the milky white smoke in the air. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were somewhat meaningful and seductive.
She stuffed the silk scarf with the contact information written on it into the man's hand.
"Sir, please keep in touch when you have time. My husband is often not home." She smiled softly and whispered, "Tell me, what's your name?"
The man flicked the ash off his cigarette nonchalantly, the smile on his lips remaining gentle.
"Chen Yubai, your husband."
On the day he returned home, he changed into a neat and well-fitting suit and used high-end leather gloves to cover up the shocking wounds. The reason was that his wife liked gentle and considerate men.
So after Chen Yubai dealt with the ambushing traitor, he bought a bouquet of flowers on the way to see his wife. Xiao Feiyan was her favorite.
With the warmest smile, he arrived at the last location located by the monitor - the male model bar.
Looking at the dedicated girls on the dance floor, he smiled, waited, calculated, and felt a little regretful.
Tsk, I only remembered to buy flowers and forgot to buy the chain.
