Chapter 317: Chapter 295: The Clever and the Dull

Translator: 549690339

Second Brother and Dong Yi’s situation seems to be developing in an inexplicable direction. Just look at the pleased expression on Second Brother’s face…

Xiao Qian hesitated to speak.

Even Yu Minglang noticed something and looked at Second Brother in surprise. You let Dong Yi… stay in the house you rented during the winter break?” Yeah.” Second Brother didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Dong Yi had no place to stay, and he lived in the company’s housing. When Dong Yi came over, Panpan could see her dad throughout the break, and Dong Yi received treatment. Everyone was doing well. In Second Brother’s view, it was a good thing for everyone, so why not?

Xiao Qian thought that her own little Qiang had a limited emotional intelligence. After all, there were many episodes of him using a slingshot to break windows and the like. Now look at who he’s compared to.

Objectively evaluating Comrade Xiao Qiang, he was just acting a bit foolish around her, slightly inexperienced in emotions. But from his interaction with Jia Xiufang and Xiao Qian’s friends, there was no problem, and he could consider all the concerns.

In comparison to Second Brother, he was simply a sophisticated monkey. Yu Mingyi was the real lowEQone!

“Second Brother… did your coworkers ask anything about Dong Yi? What did you say?” Xiao Qian asked.

They asked, and I said she was a doctor, not a nanny.” Second Brother respected Dong Yi very much.

His colleagues knew that and asked him about the woman who often took his son to watch him at the airport. Was she a nanny you hired?

Little Panpan especially liked big airplanes, and Dong Yi had to take him to watch them every day.

Of course, Second Brother wouldn’t say that Dong Yi was a nanny. He believed she had the potential to be a doctor.

Xiao Qian was speechless. Second Brother Yu didn’t like talking and didn’t bother explaining to others, otherwise, how could there be such a mess with Wang Xiaohong? But such people, who don’t like to explain, can easily create misunderstandings!

You said she was a doctor, but who knows she’s a psychologist? Maybe they thought Second Brother Yu’s second spring was a doctor!

“Second Brother, has your unit… sent anything to Dong Yi?” Yu Minglang decided to inquire indirectly to see how many people thought something was wrong.

“Yes, they sent rice and oil.”

“You haven’t noticed anything wrong yet?!” Yu Minglang thought his Second Brother was really odd.

“Xiao Qiang, why are you asking this?” Xiao Qian didn’t know much about these things.

If I rent a house near our station and you come over, even if you’re not a family member, you would be treated as visiting relatives. For such family members, the unit will send rice and oil. We don’t send impractical things; we pick our own gifts to send—Second Brother, did you let Dong Yi accept them?” Yu Xiaoqiang could hardly believe it. A man with such dull senses was his own brother.

“I was on a business trip when they went, and they went directly to her place. They knocked on the door, put down the stuff, and left.”

At the time the people went, Panpan happened to be crying loudly. Dong Yi was walking back and forth holding him, so the people from the unit didn’t feel like asking more questions and let her put the things down and leave. When Second Brother Yu returned from his trip, Dong Yi asked him how to handle the stuff. Second Brother Yu thought that since Dong Yi was going to cook anyway, it wouldn’t matter to keep the things.

Not a problem?!

Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang exchanged glances, Xiao Qian sighed.

“Little Qiang, good thing you’re not like your Second Brother.” Otherwise, she would have run away a long time ago. How much of a lack of nerves would that take?

“I don’t know who he’s like either…” Yu Xiaoqiang muttered, a family disgrace having such a second brother.

“What are you two talking about?”

“Second Brother, let me tell you plainly, your colleagues regard Dong Yi as your wife. I guess it won’t be long before your leader will talk to you.”

Second Brother was visibly taken aback; he hadn’t thought about it in that direction. Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang always complemented each other; while he analyzed it from one angle, she reminded him from another.

“Moreover, in that community, others must be gossiping about Dong Yi behind her back. A young woman with a child and a man who always leaves in the middle of the night. How do you think the rumors will spread?” “What do they have too much free time, always watching other people’s houses.” Second Brother Yu furrowed his thick brows.

“Rumors are more ferocious than a tiger… Many middle-aged ladies love this kind of gossip. You and Dong Yi don’t like to interact with others; it’s hard to say how others see you.”

Second Brother Yu wanted to see his son and had to spend several hours there at night. He rented a house and settled a young woman and his son there. Even if the people from the unit didn’t gossip or spread rumors, the neighbors definitely wouldn’t let the two off.

Some people get more excited about other people’s business than their own and just can’t stop gossiping.

Xiao Qian felt she needed to find a chance to see Dong Yi’s reaction. More urgently, though, she needed to find out why Mother Yu had asked her to come over.

Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian had discussed Second Brother’s thoughts on the way home. When they arrived at Yu Family’s house, they found out that not only Dong Yi was affected by the rumors but also Xiao Qian.

Before Yu Minglang returned home, he didn’t know what had happened, but he thought it shouldn’t be a small matter since his mother had gathered everyone. But in his heart, he thought that if Mother could get everyone together, it shouldn’t be trivial.

When they arrived, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law were in the living room holding the children from Second Brother’s family, and Mother Yu was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression. Xiao Qian saw that she was even wearing formal clothes?

What was going on?

Mother Yu was a doctor and rarely dressed so formally outside of the hospital. Seeing that Second Brother brought Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang back, Mother Yu waved her hand, indicating that Eldest Brother and daughter-in-law should take the children away, while the three brothers and Xiao Qian went into the room together.

Mother Yu called her over this time because the matter was related to Xiao Qian’s reputation. It could be big or small. Her spouse was not at home now, so she had to preside over the situation on behalf of her spouse.

Mother Yu sat behind the desk, and the two elder brothers sat on the sofa. Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian sat on the Luohan bed.

Yu Minglang took the initiative to speak.

“Mom, you’ve gathered us all here. Is there something serious going on?” “Today, I received three phone calls in total, all asking about Xiao Qian’s situation. They almost all insisted that our Xiao Qian was abducted.” After Mother Yu finished speaking, Yu Minglang’s relaxed expression disappeared, replaced by a full face of anger. His hand reflexively went around Xiao Qian’s waist, pulling her into his arms.

This was an unconscious protective action.

Xiao Qian patted his hand, signaling him to calm down.

When it came to Xiao Qian, Yu Minglang easily lost his cool and became angry.

His sharp mind immediately sensed something.

“How did they know?” Yu Minglang asked. Only a few people in the family knew about this matter, and it had not been leaked.

Who was it that used such a malicious method to attack his Xiao Mei?! People can be dreadful. Wasn’t this trying to leave Xiao Mei with no way out? How could people’s hearts be so dark?!
