Social Death Patient 040
That day, Xu Yanjin kept covering her face and sobbing softly. No matter who talked to her, she couldn't compose a complete sentence. It was as if she had suffered a lot of grievances and suddenly cried to death.
Xu's father and mother, as well as the nearby neighbors, took turns to comfort him, and of course they did not forget to scold and criticize Min Wenlun, almost belittling him to the point of being worthless.
It was all in vain. Instead, Xu Yanjin cried even more and more sadly, and kept muttering that she wanted to divorce Min Wenlun. She didn't want to live such a miserable life anymore.
At this point, Xu's parents, who always advocated reconciliation rather than separation, as well as the nearby neighbors, felt sorry for her, and no one advised her to think it over again.
Ever since Xu Yanjin started pretending to cry, the pace of events was completely out of Min Wenlun's control.
Everyone is concerned about Xu Yanjin, the only victim. They have no other emotions towards Min Wenlun except contempt and disgust.
This episode ended in a chaotic state, because Xu Yanjin was still crying until the end of the filming.
It was getting late.
The nearby residents went back, and the staff of the program team were packing up their equipment and preparing to leave.
Xu Yanjin finally stopped crying. She took the tissue handed to her by her father and mother and wiped her red eyes gracefully.
Looking at Min Wenlun not far away, for the first time she looked at him with the attitude of a winner, not missing any expression of frustration and fear on his face.
At the beginning, Xu Yanjin was indeed pretending to cry. After watching Min Wenlun perform for a few years, she had learned a little bit from him: to show weakness appropriately in situations that are beneficial to her. The more miserable you appear, the more you can arouse the public's empathy for you, and they will stand behind you without hesitation and support you.
If she had always maintained a strong posture, confronted Min Wenlun in public, and complained about how many years she had tolerated him, the effect might not have been as good as it is now, at least not all netizens would have sympathized with her.
Some people may even think that she deserves it, questioning why she didn't divorce after discovering the truth earlier, and why she continued to be entangled with a gay man who cheated on her, and they may feel disappointed in her and attack her.
If Min Wenlun continues to distort the truth, it might turn out that she already knew about it and became a lesbian wife voluntarily.
After careful consideration, she decided to pretend that she knew nothing and disguise herself as a perfect victim.
But as she cried, she thought of the difficulties she had faced in the past, the grievances and mental torture she had suffered over the years, and the joy she felt now that everyone had finally seen Min Wenlun's true face.
With many complex emotions intertwined together, Xu Yanjin naturally burst into tears.
If we were to say who felt worse than Xu Yanjin, it would definitely be Xu's father and mother. Their eyes were even more swollen from crying than Xu Yanjin's.
On one side is their biological daughter, and on the other side is the perfect son-in-law that they are proud of.
However, this perfect son-in-law was the one who hurt their daughter the most.
When Mr. Xu saw that his daughter finally stopped crying, he felt that as a father, it was time for him to stand up and support his daughter.
"Wen Lun, tell me honestly, did you like men before and deliberately hide it from my daughter and trick her into marrying you, or did you become like this after you were with my daughter?"
Min Wenlun just uttered "I" in his nervous and dry voice when his eyes met Xu Yanjin's sharp gaze.
In the end, no one knew whether it was out of guilt or remorse, but Min Wenlun, who was always eloquent and good at distorting the truth, couldn't even say a word to defend himself.
"Good, good, good!" Father Xu pointed at his nose and said good several times. The old man, who was nearly seventy years old and had gray hair, went up and grabbed Min Wenlun's lapel and hit him in the face.
The white mustard quickly dodged to avoid being affected.
The commotion here quickly alarmed the staff of the program crew, and everyone rushed to stop Mr. Xu.
They were not afraid that Mr. Xu would hurt Min Wenlun, but mainly because Mr. Xu was old and would easily suffer a loss in a fight with Min Wenlun.
He said he was going to stop Xu's father, but in fact he was separating them to prevent Min Wenlun from fighting back.
Fortunately, Min Wenlun is just selfish and hypocritical, and he still has some basic qualities, so he would not fight back against Xu's father.
On the contrary, Xu's father, who was stopped, was furious: "Why are you stopping me? Let me beat him to death. He has hurt my daughter so much and ruined her life. I will not forgive him!"
The staff advised: "Uncle Xu, we can scold you, but you are old and try not to use force. If you bump into something, it will be a big trouble."
"Who says I'm old? If anyone dares to bully my daughter, I have the energy to teach him a lesson. Even if I'm paralyzed in bed, I will get up to help my daughter vent her anger."
Mr. Xu was determined to teach his son-in-law a lesson. The staff on the scene tried to stop him symbolically, and Min Wenlun could only endure several punches from Mr. Xu.
Even though Mr. Xu is almost seventy years old, he is very strong. Min Wenlun's face already has several bruises, most notably at the corners of his mouth and eyes.
Xu's mother didn't just stand by and watch. Her own child had suffered a great injustice, and she couldn't swallow this anger. She took advantage of the chaos and stepped forward to strangle Min Wenlun a few times.
Xu Yanjin's emotions were very complicated. She admitted that she had complained about her parents before because they always praised Min Wenlun in front of others and then criticized her. She always thought that compared to her, their daughter, her parents cared more about Min Wenlun, their son-in-law.
Maybe even if they knew the truth, they would not be willing to give up Min Wenlun, the perfect son-in-law, but would instead persuade her to be patient.
After all, most parents are naive and think that sexual orientation is a disease that can be corrected. Since they can all give birth to children, it means that Min Wenlun has a chance to return to the "right path".
But she saw her gray-haired father standing up for her and punching his proudest son-in-law, just to vent his anger for her.
Now Xu Yanjin suddenly felt relieved and realized that her parents were nice to Min Wenlun not because of him as a person, but simply because Min Wenlun was their daughter's husband.
But if anyone dares to bully their daughter, even if that person is their favorite son-in-law, they will not tolerate it.
Min Wenlun was in a very miserable state now. His clothes were torn into pieces and his face was covered with bruises.
Xu Yanjin felt that her parents had almost vented their anger and couldn't really beat the man into the hospital, so she went up to stop her parents.
She helped her father sit on the dining chair next to her.
Mr. Xu was exhausted and asked Min Wenlun breathlessly, "Do your parents know about your illness?"
Min Wenlun had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was suddenly questioned and had no idea how to answer.
"They..." He hesitated as he spoke.
Father Xu snorted coldly and patted the table vigorously: "Well done, your family is great."
Min Wenlun's heart was in his throat, fearing that Xu's father would come and beat him again. Xu's father and mother were really strong.
But he was worrying too much. After all, Xu's father was old and powerless, and he couldn't even hit him if he wanted to.
Xu's mother: "You are a bad family. You are working together to deceive our family. You pretend to be affectionate and come to my house to do this and that. You are diligent and filial. In the end, you just want to trick my daughter into marrying you and having children. What do you think of her? A tool for your family to have children?"
Min Wenlun really wanted to say that he did not lie to them, but he couldn't say it. This marriage was indeed a result of his calculations and deceptions.
However, his feelings for Xu's father and mother were genuine, otherwise he would not have stood there without dodging when they beat him.
Min Wenlun: "I have always treated you as my own parents, and I am willing to work in your house."
Father Xu: "Goodbye, we don't have this blessing."
Xu's mother said: "If you really regard us as your biological parents, then return Miaomiao to us as soon as possible."
Min Wenlun didn't answer. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn't want to send the child back.
Father Xu: "What? You don't want to let us see the child?"
"He's dreaming! Miaomiao was born to my daughter at the risk of her life and with great difficulty. She was raised by me and her grandpa. We fed her and taught her to speak. When did your parents ever take care of a child for a single day? Why do you want to snatch Miaomiao from us? How dare you snatch her from us? You said you wanted to take her to school, do you just want to occupy Miaomiao and not let us see her?" The more Xu's mother thought about it, the more she felt that this was Min Wenlun's plan.
At this time, Xu Yanjin started to pretend to cry again: "Mom and Dad, if Miaomiao doesn't come back, I don't know how I will live. I won't dare to get married in the future. Miaomiao is my only child..."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely get the child back!"
Children are the bottom line that both families are unwilling to give up, and Min Wenlun no longer pretends on this issue.
"I won't say anything more. I won't give up custody of the child. Let's go through the legal process."
Father Xu slammed the table and stood up: "How dare you go to court with me? Do you have the nerve to talk about what you did in court? If you don't feel ashamed, then I am."
Min Wenlun's face looked a little ugly, and the strange looks from all sides made him feel like a thorn in his back.
But he had lost all his face tonight, and he was no longer afraid of losing face again.
"Miaomiao is also my child. I have devoted all my efforts to her. Even if you want to take her away, I will not let you take her away easily."
Xu's mother: "Let's go to court. You are a family of liars, a nest of snakes and rats. I don't believe that the judge will award the child to you. Is there any justice in the world?"
Child custody is destined to be resolved in court.
Xu's father and mother had already fallen out with Min Wenlun, so it was naturally difficult for Min Wenlun to stay in the Xu family.
Min Wenlun went upstairs and packed his things, taking only a backpack.
When he left, he found Xu Yanjin standing at the door with her arms folded, as if she was waiting for him on purpose.
There were only the two of them at the moment, and Xu Yanjin had that aloof and indifferent expression again.
Recalling Xu Yanjin's performance today, Min Wenlun laughed in anger: "I really underestimated you before."
Xu Yanjin came here on purpose to give Min Wenlun a beating when he was down. When she saw the wounds on Min Wenlun's face caused by Xu's father, she felt so happy. Every time she looked at him, she felt happier.
"Well, it must be hard to be criticized by so many people."
Min Wenlun: "Your acting today was wonderful. I never realized before that you have such good acting skills."
Xu Yanjin smiled and said modestly, "I learned all this from you. It's all thanks to your excellent teaching as a 'teacher'. I learned a little from you through osmosis. Do you think I only know how to lose my temper? You really underestimate me."
Min Wenlun was so angry that his face turned pale. He never expected that one day he would lose to Xu Yanjin in acting.
Xu Yanjin smiled even more happily when she saw this.
"By the way, aren't you curious why the Dr. Xiaobai production team approached you? Who signed you up online?"
Min Wenlun's expression changed slightly, as if he already knew what she was going to say next.
"That's right, I was the one who signed you up," Xu Yanjin couldn't help laughing when she mentioned this. "I just signed you up for the prize, just to give it a try. Who knew that out of tens of thousands of names, you'd be the one picked? I don't know if it was fate, or if you've done so many bad things that even God can't stand you and wants you to be the first to win."
Min Wenlun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was ridiculous that he would encounter such a low-probability event.
Perhaps because he knew that the situation was irreversible and he could no longer change it, he unexpectedly calmed down.
He accepted the trick played by Xu Yanjin because he was the one who planned it first.
"I know I've wronged you, and I understand you wanting to retaliate against me, but I still say that I can't give up custody of Miaomiao. If you agree to give up custody of Miaomiao, I can give you the house and property, and I'll leave the house empty-handed."
Xu Yanjin sneered, "Don't be ridiculous. Do you really think I don't know that all your money is with your parents? The school district apartment is also in your parents' names. You've never considered me family and have always been wary of me. Do you really think I won't settle the score?"
Min Wenlun pursed his lips awkwardly.
Xu Yanjin: "Don't make yourself sound so great, saying you'll give me the house. The house is our common property. I won't take a penny less of what belongs to me. I will also fight for Miaomiao's custody to the end. No matter how many lawsuits I have to fight with you, I will not give up."
Xu Yanjin was also so strong in the past, but Min Wenlun was able to gain an advantage over her.
Now Xu Yanjin's dominance only makes Min Wenlun feel difficult.
The Xu family is no longer Min Wenlun’s home ground, and he finally escaped through the back door.
Xu Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go downstairs when she unexpectedly noticed that Bai Jiesui's taciturn, long-haired assistant was secretly watching her.
Xu Yanjin was deeply impressed by Bai Jiesui's young assistant, mainly because it was rare to find a boy with such long hair. Moreover, his hair was black and beautiful, and anyone who saw it once would basically never forget it.
Besides, he had been staring at Xu Yanjin for a long time in the afternoon, which made Xu Yanjin dare not continue to observe secretly, for fear that her plan would suddenly change.
As soon as their eyes met, the young assistant turned and ran away without saying a word.
When Xu Yanjin went downstairs, she found him reporting the situation to Bai Jiesui, and Bai Jiesui also looked at her.
Xu Yanjin sneered and walked towards them.
At this time, Bai Jiesui was writing a prescription for Xu's father and mother.
"You must take the medicine on time, and don't forget the precautions I gave you..."
Mr. and Mrs. Xu kept nodding, and after she finished her explanation, they grabbed her hands and thanked her sincerely.
"Doctor Xiaobai, Yanjin's father and I don't know how to thank you today. If he hadn't told us the truth, our family might have been deceived by him for the rest of our lives. He usually pretends so well that he has fooled our family all the way around."
"I used to trust my son-in-law so much that I almost didn't believe what you said. Doctor Xiaobai, thank you for letting us see his true face. You are our family's benefactor."
When Mr. and Mrs. Xu saw Xu Yanjin coming, they felt even more upset and held her hand and cried in pain.
"My poor child, your life is so miserable."
Xu Yanjin was unusually sensitive tonight. It was Bai Jiesui who helped her complete her plan, and it went even more smoothly than she expected. She felt both grateful and excited.
She couldn't control her emotions for a moment and started crying again, while crying she said thank you to Bai Jiesui.
Then Bai Jiesui saw this scene, with the three members of the Xu family bursting into tears in front of her.
The key point is that Xu's mother was still holding her hand, and the strength she used was no less than when she grabbed Min Wenlun.
She and Asan made great efforts to finally free her hand.
Xu's mother said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Doctor Xiaobai, I must have hurt your hand."
Bai Jiesui was even more embarrassed than Xu's mother. Her hand was hurt by being grabbed, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
"He's gone, right?" Xu's mother asked Xu Yanjin. She didn't even want to call Min Wenlun's name now.
Xu Yanjin: "The car has already left."
Father Xu: "Humph, he walked away quickly, otherwise I would have to give him a good beating."
Xu Yanjin: "Alright, Dad, you should stop tossing your old bones. I feel relieved just seeing him like this. Don't tire yourself out by beating him up. He's not worth it."
Xu's mother said guiltily, "It's all our fault for neglecting you before. We didn't really pay attention to the conflict between you and your wife, and we just assumed you had a bad temper. We thought if we treated him better, he would be more tolerant of you, but we never expected that he would be such a person."
Father Xu: "Yanjin, you've been wronged over the years. It makes me sad just thinking about it. Beating him up won't make me feel better. But don't worry, I'll never let anyone bully you again."
There had been misunderstandings and complaints between Xu Yanjin and Xu's father and mother, but after what happened today, their misunderstandings and complaints had all disappeared.
"Mom and Dad, don't blame yourselves. After all, I was deceived by his appearance at the beginning." Xu Yanjin smiled self-deprecatingly.
"When we first met, he was very gentlemanly and polite, and usually very attentive. He would pay attention to my preferences and taboos and keep them firmly in mind. He respected my ideas and wishes very much and never forced me to do anything I didn't like or talked to me about topics that crossed the line. He has a strong sense of boundaries, which is completely different from the ordinary and confident men I knew before.
"After we confirmed our relationship, he still respected me very much. He never touched me casually, nor would he rashly ask to visit my house. He was always polite when he was with me, always giving and never asking for anything in return. At the time, I thought he was a man who respected women very much and felt so lucky to have met such a rare man. Now I think that only men can arouse his interest, so of course he maintains a sense of boundaries with women."
When Xu Yanjin thinks back now, she still feels that there was nothing wrong with Min Wenlun at that time.
Before she caught Min Wenlun being intimate with his male companion, she had always been a woman that everyone envied, including herself. Everyone would say that she was lucky.
Xu's father and mother could empathize with Xu Yanjin. Not to mention Min Wenlun's sexual orientation, he was a person that everyone had to say good things about when they met him.
The mistake is that his kindness is purposeful. He treats you well because he can gain benefits from you. He is hurting you and calculating against you.
Xu Yanjin: "Mom and Dad, don't think about that anymore. You've been tired all day, go and rest early."
Mr. and Mrs. Xu had experienced too much today. Although they wanted to rest early, the production crew had not left yet, so how could they, as the hosts, rest first?
"Leave this to me. I'm also the master of this house. By the way, I'd also like Doctor Bai to take my pulse." Xu Yanjin smiled at Bai Jiesui. "Doctor Bai, I don't know if this will cause you any trouble."
Bai Jiesui could see that she had something to say to her.
"No, sit down."
Xu's father and mother returned to their room, and Xu Yanjin finally sat down in front of Bai Jiesui, feeling relieved.
"Doctor Bai—"
"hand."
As soon as Xu Yanjin opened her mouth, Bai Jiesui reminded her to put her hand on the pulse pillow.
Xu Yanjin smiled sheepishly: "I'm not here to bother you with taking my pulse."
"It doesn't matter. You can talk and I'll take my pulse," Bai Jiesui paused and said very considerately, "Of course, if you don't want me to take your pulse, I won't force you."
Xu Yanjin had nothing to be unwilling about, she just didn't want to cause trouble for Bai Jiesui, so she put her hand on it anyway.
When Bai Jiesui was taking her pulse, she confessed her true feelings to an outsider for the first time.
"Doctor Bai, I believe you know that I was the one who signed Min Wenlun up because I had long discovered that he liked men, but he was very cunning. I couldn't find any evidence of his infidelity or sexual orientation, so I thought divorce would become very difficult.
"Then not long ago I saw your show online. I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, but I just thought maybe you could tell his sexual orientation, so I secretly signed him up. After calming down, I found it ridiculous. How could Chinese medicine tell someone's sexual orientation by taking their pulse? I almost canceled my application.
"I was surprised when I saw you guys show up. I didn't expect to actually pick him, and I was also very nervous. I really doubted you at the time. I thought it was unlikely you would know his sexual orientation. You're not a god, how could you know the dirty things in his heart? At that time, I saw the overwhelming praise for him online. Seeing Min Wenlun suddenly become famous, and I was the one who caused all this, I was really almost angry to death."
Xu Yanjin recalled that in the afternoon she saw Min Wenlun become a hot topic and the whole network was praising Min Wenlun as a god-like son-in-law. She is still so angry that she is gritting her teeth.
She was so angry that she started laughing again.
"It seems God is on my side. Who told him to be so careless? He even dared to go out on a date today. It's obvious that he doesn't take you, Doctor Bai, seriously. He even ate that thing. It's really disgusting."
Bai Jiesui took Xu Yanjin's pulse and told her seriously.
"Actually, he's not going out on a date today, and I know he's gay."
"Can sexual orientation be diagnosed by pulse diagnosis?" Xu Yanjin was shocked and felt that she had learned something new.
"It's hard to say about other people's sexual orientation, but his is very accurate. Since he often does 0, his anorectal problems and looseness are more obvious. Normal people don't loosen that area all the time."
Bai Jiesui's expression was too serious, and the topic he was talking about was such an embarrassing one that everyone around him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Yanjin's expression was complicated. "Doctor Bai, you didn't mention this on the show. You were really kind to him."
