Capítulo 789: Chapter 531: Past Misunderstandings
The second watch has arrived.
———-
“I…” Hearing Mei Yitong ask him to provide evidence, Zhou Zhongkang was stuck, indeed, what right did he have to make people believe him? What qualification did he have to make people believe him? The last time, he had beaten his chest and vowed to treat Mei Xiaofeng well; otherwise, the Mei family wouldn’t have let them get their marriage license despite their dissatisfaction with him.
But what was the result?
The result was that he and Mei Xiaofeng almost ended up separated by death. Thinking of this, he realized how much of a bastard he had been and couldn’t blame others for not trusting him at all.
“Elder brother, he already knows he’s wrong, he won’t act foolishly anymore.” Seeing Zhou Zhongkang’s embarrassment, Mei Xiaofeng spoke up to help him out.
Mei Yitong frowned as he looked at his sister, “Xiaofeng, last time you also shielded him like this, but what was the result? You always think you understand him very well, but in fact?”
“Elder brother, this time I truly understand him.” Mei Xiaofeng said with a flattering smile towards Mei Yitong, “Please don’t tell the family, okay?”
“It’s almost New Year, how could you possibly hide it?” Mei Yitong pointed to her wrist, “With such a big scar, can you hide it?”
“I’ll pull down the sleeve of my sweater, be careful, and it won’t be visible.” Mei Xiaofeng anxiously looked at her brother, “If mom sees it, she’ll definitely force us to separate. Brother, I like him, I’ve decided on him for this lifetime.”
“You…” Mei Yitong looked at his sister, too angry to speak. His own marriage was not happy, which made him especially hopeful that his sister could be more fortunate. Who knew the results would be so disappointing too.
Unfortunately, his sister was still blissfully ignorant. In fact, from the start, he particularly disliked Zhou Zhongkang. A man who fussed over trivial matters that shouldn’t even be of concern, such a man he despised.
“Brother, I beg you.”
Unable to withstand his sister’s pleading look, Mei Yitong could only nod, “Fine, I’ll not mention it for now, but after the New Year, you both need to make time to explain to the family.”
Mei Xiaofeng repeatedly nodded, “I will, I will, once I’m pregnant and mom and grandma see the scar, it won’t matter.”
“Zhou Zhongkang, you’ve seen how my sister treats you, if you hurt her again, you don’t deserve to be a human being, not just as a man or woman, do you understand?”
“I understand, elder brother, I truly understand.” Zhou Zhongkang hurriedly said.
“Brother, how did you know about my injury?” Mei Xiaofeng suddenly slapped her forehead, “I remember now, sister-in-law works at this hospital, my brain is just useless, completely forgot.”
Mei Yitong glared at her, “Don’t call her that in the future, we’re already divorced. It’s inappropriate to call her that, and she has a boyfriend now and is about to get married. If her boyfriend misunderstands, it wouldn’t be good.”
“Sister-in-law is actually getting married?” Mei Xiaofeng’s eyes widened in disbelief, “She actually got married before you, brother?”
“Yes, what’s so strange about that?” Mei Yitong glared at his sister, “I told you not to shout carelessly, just call her Sister Yoon or directly Yoon Duo in the future.”
“Got it, I’ll call her Sister Duoduo instead.” Mei Xiaofeng said with a sigh, “Actually, I have always liked Sister Duoduo, thought you two could reconcile, didn’t expect she was getting married. By the way, brother, what does her boyfriend do? How old is he, how does he look compared to you?”
Mei Yitong looked at her with a black line across his forehead, “You are truly oversaturated with concerns, what’s the point of caring so much about other people’s business? You usually seem pretty open-minded, how could you do something so brainless? Does having a lifetime scar on your wrist look good?”
“Brother, don’t change the subject, tell me, I’m just curious now.”
“You can ask her yourself, I don’t know.” Mei Yitong glared at her, looking at Zhou Zhongkang, “Do the Zhou family members know about Xiaofeng’s situation?”
“Except for my mom, no one knows.” Zhou Zhongkang murmured softly, “I don’t want… to let grandpa and grandma look down on me.”
“You want to maintain face in front of elders yet still do things without face, really convinced by you, Zhou Zhongkang, I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time, parents gave birth to you and raised you, they don’t owe you anything.
You might feel aggrieved for being fostered in someone else’s home when you were young, but have you thought about what they were doing at that time?
If they hadn’t cared about you, they could have brought you along to suffer together, what was the need to beg others to adopt you and your siblings, do you think that didn’t require owing favors?
You should know the state of the Zhou family at that time, in the worst case, it was even possible to ruin the family and destroy its people. In that situation, allowing you to eat and go to school, do you really think they didn’t sacrifice too much?”
