“It was a woman’s voice, and she spoke in detail about your injury, its location, circumstances, and cause. The cause was because during your mission, you were distracted by thoughts of me.”

Yu Minglang suddenly realized, no wonder his Xiao Mei broke up with him out of the blue!

“I was in an emotionally unstable state at that time because I had a slight unpleasantness with Ming Lang when we separated. Subconsciously, I was also worried about his safety, and as a result, he had an accident. So…”

One could only say that when it rains it pours. If the incidents happened one by one, a single phone call wouldn’t have provoked Xiao Qian. Yet, the call appeared at the very moment when Xiao Qian was most frustrated. She learned that Yu Minglang was her benefactor from her past life, the man who had given her everything, and yet she was the one responsible for his injury. Therefore, she became vulnerable.

Boss Yu and Second Brother Yu looked at each other and saw the same message in each other’s eyes.

Everything was connected. The conspiracy targeted Xiao Qian and Ming Lang from the beginning. Who wanted to use such a despicable method to force Xiao Qian and Ming Lang to break up?

Not only could they grasp Yu Minglang’s movements, but they could also contact all the relatives of the Yu Family. How powerful was this force? If such a person wanted to use Xiao Qian to strike at the entire Yu Family, the Yu Family would have to consider a bigger picture.

After all, Father Yu and his sons were not ordinary people. Such a low-key and cautious family would hardly leave any gossip behind.

Mother Yu reached out directly and pinched Yu Minglang’s ear.

“It’s all your fault! Who made you upset Xiao Qian? Who let you get hurt so carelessly? I told you long ago to focus on your work when you go out. Instead, you came back injured!”

“You can’t blame me for this! I really didn’t think of Xiao Mei when I saved someone; an object fell from the sky when we were inspecting the project and almost hit someone. If I hadn’t pushed him, he would have been hit!”

Fearing that Xiao Qian would overthink, he turned his head and explained to her.

“Xiao Mei, it’s not that I don’t think of you. I always find time to think about you, even spending a fixed 10 minutes to think each night before going to bed. But I can’t think about you all the time; if I did, I wouldn’t be able to get my

work done.”

Mother Yu finished scolding her son and then turned her head to speak to Xiao Qian.

“Xiao Qian, I can understand your concern for his safety. Still, the men in our family do this kind of work. Injuries are inevitable, but for the sake of their families, they will do their best to protect themselves. If you worry about Ming Lang going on business trips in the future, just come to see me, and I will guide you with your Eldest Sister-in-law.”

Xiao Qian nodded, “I won’t overthink it in the future, and I won’t let him be distracted.”

Mother Yu was about to praise Xiao Qian for her enlightenment, as this girl adapted quickly. Compared to Wang Xiaohong, who was always overly dramatic, Yu Mingyi’s trips caused her to wail from beginning to end and almost drove the other members of the Yu Family insane to the point of divorce.

However, she didn’t feel a sense of accomplishment. Mother Yu had intended to exude warmth and comfort Xiao Qian, who had been frightened, but Xiao Qian was unexpectedly calm.

Out of the comer of her eye, she saw Yu Minglang looking around.

“Youngest, what are you looking for?”

“Where is the recorder? I’ll record what she said so that if she dares to trouble me in the future, I’ll play it back for her!”

Mother Yu shook her head, wondering if this was the best her son could do. He certainly took after his father.

Xiao Qian recounted the events of that day in detail.

She had originally planned to disclose the matter to Yu Minglang. At that time, Xiao Qian was so guilty and overwhelmed by the revelation that he was her benefactor from her past life. In a moment of impulse, she made that decision.

Now that the two had decided to get engaged, she had to lay everything on the table. They had once been separate individuals, but now they were forming a new family together. They had to discuss everything as one.

Mother Yu called the two over not only to express her full support and trust in Xiao Qian but also to demonstrate to them how the Yu Family would handle similar issues in the future.

Father Yu still held on to the idea of a large family from his time. Everyone disagreed with Second Brother Yu marrying Wang Xiaohong because she was not someone who could merge into the collective. She was far too self-centered and selfish.

Although Xiao Qian was also a very individualistic person, her approach to handling problems and dealing with situations was more measured, and she could balance various relationships. So, she never seemed out of place in such a large family.

After Xiao Qian finished speaking, Yu Minglang fell into deep thought.

“Do you have any women around you?” Mother Yu asked.

Yu Minglang shook his head, “Even my secretary is a man.”

Then it was strange; could it be that someone else leaked the information before having another person convey it?

“However, there are a few people I know who, like me, can change their voices.”

When Yu Minglang left his old unit, he brought several elite members with him. He knew sign language and could change his voice, and there were others like him.

“But I know them ah, and it’s unlikely that they would do such a thing.” Who could it be?

“It must have been premeditated. The purpose of the call was clear: to force Ming Lang and me to break up. I remember the excitement in her voice, saying that because of me, Ming Lang was injured, and that I didn’t deserve him. It makes me wonder if she also spread the rumours to suppress me, make me feel like I was a fallen flower and didn’t deserve to be with Ming Lang, so that I would step aside.”

Xiao Qian’s analysis was quite accurate.

“Others have a purpose in coming here, and that is to make the two of you unhappy. You must stay strong and remember that no matter what happens, the only ones you can trust are your own family. Don’t be swayed by others and be united against the outside world.”

Father Yu was not at home, but what Mother Yu was saying now represented his wishes.

“Understood. Both of us need to reflect on this. The main responsibility lies with me. If I had stopped her earlier, locked her up until she had thought things through, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Yu Minglang thought his plan was perfect, but Mother Yu and Xiao Qian looked at him with disdain.

Restricting personal freedom wouldn’t make Xiao Qian even angrier?

So the two looked at each other, deciding to ignore Yu Minglang and continue discussing.

“Youngest, have you offended anyone because of love affairs outside? For example, your friend’s younger sister or female colleagues at work?”

Yu Minglang pleaded with his mother.

“Don’t say that in front of Xiao Qian. I’m so clean and innocent; I should get a Good Man Trophy. How could I have any love debts?”

On this point, Xiao Qian was not worried.

“According to my professional judgment, Ming Lang may have a tendency for emotional cleanliness, so it’s unlikely that he would fool around outside.” “What kind of disease is that? Does it hurt him?” Mother Yu asked.</p
