Chapter 27: Too Scheming
Lan Yu sighed lightly, "Because my parents are lazy and didn't save much money, Lan Yue didn't do well in school, so she went out to work after graduating from high school. After I was admitted to university, my mother didn't agree with me going at first."
"Later, for some reason, Lan Yue came forward and said that she would take care of my living expenses. She persuaded my parents to agree to let me go to college. My tuition was paid with my scholarship, half of my living expenses was given by Lan Yue, and the remaining half was earned by me as a tutor."
"But I have kept a record of every penny Lan Yue gave me. Since I graduated and received my first salary, I have paid her back double every month. But my mother still feels that I will never be able to repay Lan Yue for the rest of my life."
Ji Tiantian thought about it and said, "Is it possible that Lan Yue chose to help you study just to make you owe her something, and then use this to control you and make you grateful to her for the rest of your life."
Lan Yu paused and looked at Ji Tiantian, "What you said reminds me of something."
Ji Tiantian: "What's the matter?"
Lan Yu: "I had a fever a few days before the college entrance examination, and Lan Yue stayed up late to take care of me. I asked her to go to bed because I didn't think my condition was serious enough to require someone to stay up all night to take care of me, but Lan Yue refused."
"She said something to me at that time that left a deep impression on me. She said, Lan Yu, when you become successful in the future, don't forget how good I was to you."
Ji Tiantian: "See, I said her purpose of helping you was not pure. Maybe she had calculated it from the beginning. She wanted to be an older sister who cared about you, took care of you and helped you, making you feel that you owed her a lot, and then use this to manipulate you."
"But her plan failed. She didn't expect that you wouldn't be easily manipulated. Ever since you paid her double the money, her attitude towards you has changed, right?"
Lan Yu nodded, "Well, when I paid her back the money, she didn't look happy. Actually it wasn't much money, about four thousand a year. She gave me a total of five years, which is twenty thousand yuan, and I paid her back forty thousand."
Ji Tiantian: "That's natural. If you pay her back, you won't owe her anything. How can she still control you? I tell you, you'd better be careful in the future. Your sister is too scheming."
"Maybe your mother hates you, and she is the one who instigated it behind the scenes."
Lan Yu recalled the past and it seemed to be true. Every time he was beaten by his mother when he was a child, it was basically because of Lan Yue.
But when her mother beat her, Lan Yue was there to persuade her mother to stop.
When they went to the cafeteria to have lunch at noon, Ji Tiantian brought up the topic of Lan Yue again, "The more I think about it, the more terrible I find your sister. People like her are very typical in psychology. There are many serial killers of this type."
"Serial killer?" Lan Yu frowned, but Ji Tiantian has always liked to study psychology, so she wouldn't talk nonsense.
Ji Tiantian replied confidently, "Yes, this type of killer usually portrays themselves as good people, so as to gain more trust. Let's put it this way, they think they are cats and others are mice."
"Their fun is playing with mice. They put it on your sister. In your sister's eyes, you are a mouse. Her fun is to play with you. For example, she will find ways to whisper in your mother's ears to make your mother beat you, and then she will come out to be a good person to persuade your mother."
"In fact, she enjoys this game, including giving you living expenses. It's the same. If you take her money, don't you have to be grateful to her and listen to her? Because you are soft-hearted."
"So it's not surprising that she asked you to be a surrogate mother, because in her eyes, you are just a toy in her hands, and she can let you do whatever she wants."
Lan Yu was still in shock. As someone who was involved in the matter, he was often confused. After her agent Tiantian's analysis, all Lan Yue's past actions became reasonable. Lan Yu was very glad that his stubborn personality prevented him from becoming Lan Yue's puppet.
"Thank you, Tiantian," Lan Yu said gratefully, "I think your analysis makes sense. Whether it's true or not, I will stay away from Lan Yue and her husband Zhou Chongguang in the future."
Ji Tiantian: "Your brother-in-law is really disgusting. To put it bluntly, birds of a feather flock together. Although Lan Yue pretends to be gentle and considerate on the surface, I think she is as terrible as her husband."
"I hope they will stop harming others."
That morning, Lan Yue and her mother Li Zhujun left the hospital.
Li Zhujun rushed to the supermarket to work, so Lan Yue went to the farmers' market alone and bought a lot of seafood that Zhou Chongguang liked to eat and took it home.
Along the way, she was thinking about how to talk to Zhou Chongguang and her mother-in-law Li Dianfen to calm them down.
There was no way Lan Yu would apologize. Lan Yue also knew that this must be Zhou Chongguang's fault. She knew her man too well. She knew that Zhou Chongguang coveted Lan Yu's beauty, but she had been pretending to be deaf and dumb.
When I got home, there was no one in the living room.
Lan Yue took the seafood to the kitchen and put it away, then turned and went to her mother-in-law Li Dianfen's room. There was no one in the room.
She turned and went to the master bedroom.
The door of the master bedroom was half-open, and Zhou Chongguang's sticky voice came from inside: "You are my sweetheart. I have been fed up with that hen in my house that doesn't lay eggs. Just wait for me. I will marry you after I divorce her."
"What time do you get off work tonight? I'll pick you up, we'll have dinner together, and then I'll go shopping with you to buy clothes and bags. I'll buy you whatever you want, and then we'll go to Shenglin together to get a room in the evening."
"You don't know, ever since you walked into the wrong room last time and we did that, I've been missing you every day... I haven't touched my wife for a long time. I have no interest in her at all. I get annoyed just by seeing her..."
Lan Yue, who was standing at the door, clenched her fists so tightly that her teeth were about to break.
She wanted to rush in, but instead went to the kitchen to pour out the seafood and wash it.
After Zhou Chongguang finished his call, he went to the living room to get some water. He heard some noise in the kitchen and went to check. "Lan Yue, when did you come back? Why is there no sound at all?"
Lan Yue suppressed the anger in her chest, forced a smile and said, "I just got back, I bought your favorite seafood."
Zhou Chongguang glanced at the seafood, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lan Yue: "Have you seen your sister? When will she come to apologize?"
Lan Yue: "I haven't seen her. She may be resting. I will look for her another day."
Zhou Chongguang was displeased: "Are you protecting Lan Yu?"
Lan Yue: "Do you think I am that kind of person? You are my man, and you and I are family. Although Lan Yu is my sister, she is still my family. If I marry you, I will be yours, and of course I will favor my man."
Zhou Chongguang: "It's good that you know. Also, what do you want to do about the child? Lan Yu is married now, so it's impossible for her to help us have children. Who are you going to find to help us have children?"
Lan Yue knew that Zhou Chongguang wanted to find another reason to divorce, and she would never leave this family. "I don't have any good candidates here at the moment. If you meet someone who is willing to help, we can give it a try."
Zhou Chongguang looked at Lan Yue in disbelief: "You mean, you agree that I can find a woman outside to have a child?"
