Chapter 854: Shame and sadness
New Year's Eve, 7pm.
The family gathered together and sat around the table.
While chatting, Shen Lin suddenly received a message from her brother. There was no text, only a photo of a man and a woman.
The man was her brother, with a happy smile on his face. The woman next to him was naturally Li Xiaoyue, with slightly red eyes, as if she had just cried.
Shen Lin only looked at it for three seconds, then quickly quit WeChat, then pretended to be calm and drank a sip of juice, and then left the table on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, she did not send a voice or video call, but sent a text message:
[What's going on? ]
The brother quickly replied: [I found Xiaoyue two and a half hours ago and immediately confessed my feelings to her, but she didn't agree. And I continued to pester her, hugged her again, and didn't let her leave me again, and kissed her. She actually had me in her heart, and didn't refuse, so we started dating. ]
Shen Lin was stunned. She felt that her brother's illness might not have healed yet, otherwise, with this kid's original personality, how dare he confess to Li Xiaoyue in this way?
It seems that he is really in love.
But no matter how in love he is, he must not make an official announcement on New Year's Eve.
Na Jun was still eating there. If he knew the news, would he still celebrate the New Year?
Shen Lin quickly replied: [Don't announce your relationship yet. Wait until the fifth day of the New Year, wait until the Spring Festival is over, wait until your brother-in-law has done ideological work on Juan Juan, then you can announce it. ]
Chen Tao replied: [Okay. ]
Shen Lin cared: [Have you two found a place to eat New Year's Eve dinner? Eat first, and then we can video chat later! ]
Chen Tao posted a picture. In addition to several Cantonese dishes on the table, there was also Li Xiaoyue sitting opposite drinking juice.
Shen Lin smiled silently, and then reminded him, "Go back to the hotel after eating, don't play around outside." Then he left the bathroom, returned to the dining table as if nothing had happened, and continued to chat with him.
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the family chatted for a while, and then Na Jun said goodbye and left and went back to his rented house.
The large flat has not been renovated yet.
Without Li Xiaoyue to make decisions, Na Jun was too busy to manage, so how could Shen Lin's two cousins dare to make decisions on their own? The progress of the renovation inevitably slowed down.
After the brother-in-law left, Shen Lin took her husband to the room to talk.
When Na Wei learned that his brother-in-law finally found his former sister-in-law today, and successfully confessed his love and had already started dating, he was still surprised even though he was prepared.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the two elders of the Na family, their grandson Na Zixuan, and their eldest daughter Na Zhuoyue all went back to their rooms.
Shen Lin was also in the room, preparing to have a video call with her brother.
When the call was connected, the first thing that caught her eyes was her brother's extremely happy and happy face, which anyone could see, and then the night view of Pengcheng outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Shen Lin asked curiously: "Did Xiaoyue accompany you back to the hotel?"
Chen Tao turned the camera, and Shen Lin saw Li Xiaoyue sitting on a chair, covering her face and acting shy, and an astronomical telescope next to her.
Shen Lin laughed, but Na Wei beside her felt uncomfortable and looked away with a wry smile.
After a while of "restraint", Li Xiaoyue finally accepted her fate and sat down next to Chen Tao with a red face.
Chen Tao also "boldly" took her into his arms and wished a happy new year to his cheap sister and brother-in-law.
Na Wei was even more entangled.
After all, he had to do the task of persuading Na Jun to accept such a thing, and he had to be the bad guy. How could he be happy? But he had to do it.
Because Shen Lin, brother-in-law, and Li Xiaoyue obviously didn't care too much about Na Jun's feelings, but he, as a brother, couldn't help but care.
Damn it!
Na Wei knew very well that Juanjuan would never accept such a thing, because just yesterday, this kid asked him if he knew where Xiaoyue had been hanging out recently? He must still have thoughts.
If Xiaoyue liked a stranger, it would be fine, but it happened to be Leilei. Juanjuan was so angry when he learned about this.
Lei Lei would definitely not give up Xiao Yue. Because Xiao Yue not only showed great kindness to him, but also developed deep affection for him after more than a month of getting along. Otherwise, how could those group photos become more and more intimate? Obviously, Xiao Yue had developed a good impression of him, so she retired after noticing that he was better, unable to face this feeling.
And he was also very sentimental. Now that he had forgotten Xie Meilan, he chased his wife thousands of miles away, and finally found Xiao Yue, as he wished, how could he let go easily?
‘It’s really a headache, how should I tell Juan Juan? I knew that Xiao Yue had taken care of Lei Lei for a month, but I was indifferent and watched their relationship warm up. I also lied to Juan Juan that I didn’t know where Xiao Yue was and couldn’t contact her. How could this be justified? I was so worried! ’
Na Wei’s heart was in a mess, and he had to force a smile on his face to greet his brother-in-law and his former sister-in-law, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Lin didn’t have such a tangled mentality. Instead, he felt relieved because his brother was with Li Xiao Yue and would not be tossed again in the future.
She smiled with praise and gratitude:
"Xiaoyue, you are so kind. Leilei met you that day, which was his blessing and fate after ten lifetimes of cultivation. If it weren't for you, his life would be ruined. I will trouble you to take care of him in the future. I believe Leilei will not let you down."
Li Xiaoyue hummed, then blushed and looked away. You should know that she was not acting now, but was really shy.
Shen Lin found it quite interesting and couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he reminded his brother:
"Leilei, everyone has seen your character. You must treat Xiaoyue wholeheartedly in the future. She is more than a million times better than Xie Meilan. You must not let her down!"
Chen Tao laughed and said, "Sister, why did you mention Xie Meilan? I get so angry when I mention her. From now on, I will only love Xiaoyue and will never think about Xie Meilan for even a second!"
Shen Lin snorted, "No wonder Xiaoyue left without saying goodbye. It turned out that she still thought about Xie Meilan before? You must do what you say and don't think about it again in the future."
Li Xiaoyue couldn't hold it anymore and buried her face in Chen Tao's arms to avoid being seen by her sister-in-law.
Chen Tao smiled and said, "Xiaoyue and I plan to get the marriage certificate after the New Year, and then prepare for pregnancy, and try to get her pregnant this year. Can this plan prove that I have forgotten Xie Meilan?"
Shen Lin was surprised and said, "After the New Year? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Na Wei was also a little unbelievable.
In the three years that Li Xiaoyue and his brother have been on and off, they have never formally mentioned marriage and children, and they have not even lived together. How come when she met Leilei, she put away her heart and prepared to be a good wife and mother?
This girl is not the kind of person who is anxious to get married and have children just because she is getting older!
Juanjuan...
She only cares about Juan and fails miserably!
Chen Tao explained with a smile: "Sister, I can't help but be anxious! Xiaoyue is so rare, I am afraid that the night is long and dreams are many, so I want to quickly use marriage and children to bind her, so that she won't run away again and make me look for her enough."
Upon hearing this, the actress Li raised her pretty face with tears, turned sideways to the camera, and said affectionately:
"Husband~ From now on, Xiaoyue will not go anywhere, I will stay with you and our children."
Na Wei's scalp numbed.
If Juanjuan heard this, wouldn't she hit her head against the wall?
Juanjuan racked his brains, but couldn't make Li Xiaoyue willing to stay with him, but Leilei easily did it.
What is the gap? Is it just because Juanjuan forced Li Xiaoyue to make progress, and Leilei is willing to play with her?
Shen Lin was very moved, wiping her tears and urging:
"Then hurry up, sister is waiting for the wedding!"
Li Xiaoyue was shy again, but this time she did not hide in her husband's arms, but stretched out her hands to cover her face.
She felt so happy.
Originally, she and her husband were together, even though one broke up and the other divorced, no one could say anything. But because the relationship between the two parties was similar to that of relatives before, it would make people feel a little uncomfortable.
And now, she has saved her husband's life and taken care of him. Who dares to say that her husband should not marry her home and treat her well for his whole life as a reward?
Not to mention Shen Lin, the elder sister-in-law, even the father-in-law and mother-in-law have to treat her as a treasure, so as not to run away again and cause their son to get sick.
Hehe, hehehehehe...
Off camera, Chen Tao patted the girl's ass, telling her to feel happy, but not to shake too much, let alone laugh out loud.
Then he said to Shen Lin: "There are so many things today, and it's so late now. I feel very tired. Why don't we end it first and talk tomorrow?"
'Where are you tired? You look rosy and energetic, and you are obviously in a hurry to do bad things! '
Shen Lin complained in her heart, but said seriously:
"Since you are tired, then you should rest early and don't go out to participate in those New Year's Eve activities. That's it, wait, when will you come back?"
"On the fifth day of the New Year, I will take Xiaoyue back to my hometown to see my parents. What about you? Will you go back?"
"We will go back on the third day of the New Year, and pick up my parents to play in Beijing on the fourth day of the New Year. You and Xiaoyue can go back to Beijing directly then!"
"Okay."
Chen Tao nodded, patted Li Xiaoyue's waist again, and reminded:
"Xiaoyue, say good night to your sister and brother-in-law."
When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately sat up with a red face, facing the camera, and said good night obediently.
Na Wei waved and replied with mixed feelings.
Shen Lin thought for a moment, smiled and added a blessing:
"Xiaoyue, sister wishes you a happy marriage and a baby in the new year."
Li Xiaoyue covered her face again.
She was really shy.
But after the call ended, she instantly recovered her nature and asked her husband to take her to the bathtub.
The bathtub in the Mandarin Oriental Executive Suite is in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the prosperous and dazzling night view of Pengcheng.
Retracting her gaze, Li Xiaoyue turned her head and said to Chen Tao behind her:
"Old, husband~ Xiaoyue wishes you peace and happiness forever."
Chen Tao hummed and used a large rake to make her happy.
Apparently, Brother Tao is also good at the unique skills of the second brother, that is, the so-called fierce battle method.
***
The next day.
Chen Tao did not do the routine morning exercise, but went to Bao'an Airport with Li Xiaoyue, preparing to return to her hometown, a county in Shuzhong, to spend the next four days.
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, the two packed their bags and returned home.
The two hours of waiting for the flight were the last time Chen Tao left for Na Wei.
If Na Wei still couldn't make up his mind to explain to his brother Na Jun, Chen Tao would announce it in his circle of friends before boarding the plane, so that Na Jun could appreciate the photo of him and Li Xiaoyue.
"Alas..."
Na Wei finally sighed, and under Shen Lin's gaze, he opened WeChat and confronted his brother.
Three minutes later.
"... Just like that, Lei Lei fell in love with Xiao Yue, went to Pengcheng to find her, found her on New Year's Eve, and confessed on the spot. Xiao Yue also liked him very much, and seeing that he was very serious, she agreed to him."
At this point, Na Wei gritted his teeth and added: "Get married after the New Year."
Na Jun was silent for five minutes before he shouted angrily:
"How could Xiaoyue like him? Xie Meilan didn't want him anymore, he wanted to commit suicide, but Xiaoyue saved him and took care of him for a long time. Later, he fell in love with Xiaoyue. I can understand that if it was another man, he would love Xiaoyue. But why did Xiaoyue agree to date him? Why did she like him? They lived together! You knew about this, but you didn't tell me! You let Xiaoyue develop a crush on him! Xiaoyue is my girlfriend! She is mine! I will never allow her to fall in love with my brother's brother-in-law so casually! She is not allowed to fall in love with anyone other than me! I want to find her, tell me where she is? Tell me quickly!"
At this moment, his heart was full of strong shame and sadness.
He looked down on a man who could only afford a house because his wife cheated on him with the divorce compensation given by the domineering boss!
He looked down on a bastard who was incompetent and wanted to commit suicide because his wife cheated on him, and who got his girlfriend's pity by luck, and who shamelessly pursued his girlfriend!
But it was this loser that Xiaoyue was willing to live with him, gave him all her patience and love, and now she has also handed herself over to him!
And these are the things he wanted but could not get. This fairy broke up with him just because he said a few words, and she was dismissive of him. Why can't she give him more patience to take care of the loser? Why on earth!
What made him especially ashamed was that he couldn't forget the other party!
For him, shouldn't he think that losers should find losers? Congratulations to this fairy for finding her home?
Li Xiaoyue, you are blind!
A loser who wants to die because of a failed marriage, how can you think that he values feelings and is attracted to him? Has he ever thought about his aging parents?
Li Xiaoyue, you are too naive!
An irresponsible man will only bring you disasters and make you increasingly unable to see the truth of life. But I am still willing to wait patiently for you to grow up, as long as you can change your mind and come back to me!
Na Wei had no idea that his brother was thinking so much, and he advised him bluntly:
"Juanjuan, don't be so excited, you and Xiaoyue, didn't you break up, she doesn't like..."
This is why Na Jun is sad.
Since the breakup, he hasn't told his brother that he still loves Xiaoyue? He has said it more than ten times!
He is obviously his biological brother, but he is partial to his brother-in-law, even giving away his girlfriend he still likes, watching his sister-in-law and brother-in-law live together, and then lying to him that he can't contact them!
And today, he even shamelessly advised him to let go...
Thinking of this, Na Jun suddenly felt dizzy, breathing rapidly, and his heart rate suddenly increased. After a while, he came back to his senses from his anger and hung up the phone.
There is no point in saying more, Na Wei is no longer trustworthy as a brother. (End of this chapter)
