Chapter 155 The rabbit bites people when it’s anxious
Lin Yuan had a gentle smile on his face and said softly, “If there is no suitable one, you and Xiao Mi can stay here first. There are plenty of rooms anyway.”

As soon as these words came out, Julie’s eyes widened instantly, her cherry lips slightly parted, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her beautiful eyes.

If the sister-in-law was only staying for three or five days, she wouldn’t say much. But now she knew that the sister-in-law was in emotional crisis and she was at her most vulnerable. Lin Yuan and she were living in the same room with her day and night. She was really worried that the sister-in-law would secretly fall in love with Lin Yuan. What if she took the initiative to get close to him…

Moreover, when she comes to Lin Yuan’s house next time and is intimate with him, she will be embarrassed if there are other people at home.

When Zhu Li thought that the moaning sound she just made might be heard by her sister-in-law, her face turned red and she became more and more resistant to Wu Fei moving in.

Zhu Li took a deep breath, trying to keep her expression normal, and said to Wu Fei politely, “Sister-in-law, if you and brother have a disagreement about money, ask brother to go find Su Mingcheng. I will transfer the house compensation to him soon.”

Recalling that Su Mingzhe came to my house yesterday to persuade me and Su Mingcheng to reconcile, I didn’t expect that there were problems in his own relationship as well.

Zhu Li couldn’t help but sigh. She really didn’t know whether Su Mingzhe took his sister-in-law and Xiao Mi too lightly or took the Su family’s affairs too seriously.

Wu Fei shook his head, his expression full of helplessness, and slowly said: “In fact, it’s not just about money. He only cares about the Su family and doesn’t care about me and the baby at all. I have seen through him.”

Seeing that Zhu Li was about to speak, Lin Yuan quickly said, “Sister-in-law, Xiao Mi is still in the room. You should go back and take care of her. We will leave first.”

As Lin Yuan spoke, he naturally put his arm around Zhu Li’s shoulders and walked out the door.

Looking at their departing backs, Wu Fei felt unhappy.

Obviously, Lin Yuan always called her “Fei Fei” affectionately before, but in front of Zhu Li, he called her “sister-in-law” politely.

Is he doing this because he is afraid that Julie will misunderstand?

After leaving the house, Zhu Li was a little depressed and asked angrily, “Why don’t you let me speak?”

“Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs, especially in such a big thing as marriage. If you were getting divorced and others kept telling you not to get divorced, would you feel comfortable?”

Zhu Li cast a skeptical look and thought to herself, her divorce and her sister-in-law’s divorce, how could these two things be the same.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan patted her buttocks hard and said with a smile: “Why are you looking at me? Are you not going to leave without me?”

Zhu Li couldn’t help but complain in her heart, if you hadn’t teased me intentionally or unintentionally over and over again, it wouldn’t have been possible.

Although Su Mingcheng has many flaws, such as being dependent on his parents, being irritable, irresponsible, and blindly confident, he usually dotes on himself.

If you think about it carefully, if Zhao Meilan were still alive, with her favoritism and support, Su Mingcheng’s shortcomings might have been covered up for a long time.

Zhu Li shook her head gently, as if to get rid of all these messy thoughts, and continued to ask: “Then why do you want her to continue living with you?”

“You’ve already said that. My sister-in-law is not stupid. How could she not understand what you mean? I’m just pretending to keep her. Why push her to the limit? Even rabbits bite when they’re angry. You don’t want her to tell others about us, do you?”

After hearing this, Julie was speechless and didn’t know how to respond.

As they talked, they walked to the car and got in. As soon as they sat down, Zhu Li couldn’t help but warn: “A rabbit doesn’t eat grass near its nest. Sister-in-law lives with you because she trusts you. You can’t have any improper thoughts about Sister-in-law, understand?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I only have thoughts about my second sister-in-law.” Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth, and teased with a smile on his face, “Lili, it seems that you are born in the Year of the Rabbit, come, let me touch the little rabbit.”

Zhu Li’s cheeks flushed instantly. She did not refuse the hand that Lin Yuan extended to her. She said with affection in her eyes, “You can’t let your sister-in-law live in your house forever. Why don’t you come live in my house? Su Mingcheng’s things will be moved out soon anyway.”

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, “I want to live with you, but you just got divorced and if I move into your house, it will be bad for you if your neighbors see me. Why don’t you move in with me? I’ll save you from having to worry too much.”

Zhu Li bit her lower lip and refused coquettishly: “Well, I won’t. You don’t know how embarrassed I was when I saw my sister-in-law today.”

Lin Yuan smiled, and gently twisted a certain dogwood with his fingers until he looked into Zhu Li’s eyes: “You don’t know how charming you are.”

……

Lin Yuan leaned close to her ear and gently touched her smooth skin with his fingers.

“When you say ‘a cunning rabbit has three burrows’, is it possible that you mean here, here, and here?”

“Well…don’t use idioms randomly.” Zhu Li said coquettishly and gently hit Lin Yuan.

After the two had some fun in the car, Lin Yuan took Zhu Li to the Vegetarian Restaurant.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Yuan and Zhu Li walked in side by side. Coincidentally, they saw Su Mingyu at first sight.

Su Mingyu’s appearance here is like an NPC that players have a high chance of encountering in a tavern in the game.

Lin Yuan approached and said with a smile: “You are already in this state, didn’t your boss tell you to rest more?”

Su Mingyu shook her head and responded, “It’s just that I’ve been resting for too long, so I have to get busy.”

Coincidentally, during the time Mingyu was in the hospital, Shi Tiandong happened to go to Hong Kong Island to learn cake baking, and the Vegetarian Restaurant had just reopened in the past two days.

She doesn’t have many friends and doesn’t like being disturbed. For her, Vegetarian Restaurant is a good place where she can enjoy delicious food and focus on her work.

This time the hospitalization was quite long, and a lot of work was piled up. She would feel bad if she pushed it all to Liu Qing, not to mention that she was a workaholic herself.

Being able to become the general manager of a company from an ordinary normal college student, his professionalism is naturally needless to say.

When Zhu Li saw Su Mingyu, she felt a little embarrassed and secretly thanked God that the two of them didn’t come in arm in arm.

Su Mingyu was still in the dark, she didn’t know that she was also a part of their play.

She only knew that Lin Yuan had feelings for her, but she didn’t know that she had been hanging out with Lin Yuan for a long time.

Su Mingyu looked at the two of them: “Why are you here together?”

At first, she had some prejudice against Zhu Li because of Su Mingcheng, but since the account book incident, her impression of Zhu Li has gradually changed.

Last time she said she wanted to help Zhu Li and Lin Yuan get together, but in fact she just wanted to hurt Su Mingcheng.

Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng’s divorce achieved her goal, but she didn’t expect that Lin Yuan and Zhu Li seemed to have the possibility of developing into a couple.

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled easily: “Lili just got off work, and I happened to meet her, so I thought of having a meal with her.”

Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows and even called her “Lili”, which was quite intimate.

We met by chance so late at night. I really thought she was the uncivilized Su Mingcheng.

But she just smiled and didn’t expose it.

Zhu Li nodded repeatedly in agreement: “Yes, Mingyu, it’s just right that we can eat together. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

These two people know each other very well, but they still pretend to be unfamiliar in front of others.

Julie lamented in her heart, hoping that this period of time would pass quickly.

“Second…” Su Mingyu wanted to call her “Second Sister-in-law” out of habit, but after she realized what was going on, she smiled and changed her words, “Zhu Li, you already thanked me this afternoon, but I never thought that after you begged me to release Su Mingcheng, the first thing you did was to divorce him.”

At this time, Shi Tiandong came over and saw Lin Yuan coming with a beautiful woman. He already thought he was a playboy.

However, seeing Lin Yuan, Zhu Li and Mingyu chatting and laughing, he felt a lot more relieved.

After Lin Yuan ordered a few side dishes, he looked at Shi Tiandong’s back and asked Su Mingyu curiously, “Didn’t anything happen between you and Boss Shi?”

Su Mingyu shook her head and smiled bitterly: “I am just a guest who comes here to eat, what can happen?”

Not long after, Shi Tiandong came over with several plates of fragrant dishes.

“Eat your food and don’t worry about me.” Su Mingyu reminded him and turned her attention to the changing trend of the sales data on the screen.

It’s more like sharing a table temporarily than eating together.

Su Mingyu spent most of her time looking at her notebook, occasionally taking a sip of the cold meatball soup. During this time, Su Mingyu’s cell phone rang, but she only glanced at the caller ID and turned the ringtone to silent, neither answering nor hanging up.

Lin Yuan saw it, but did not say anything.

There was no need for him to rush to help Su Mingyu solve the problem.

When the two had almost finished eating, Zhu Li quietly touched Lin Yuan’s trouser leg with her little foot, signaling them to leave quickly.

Lin Yuan understood what he meant. After saying hello to Mingyu, he took Zhu Li to pay the bill and left.

……

At ten o’clock in the evening, Wu Fei’s cell phone suddenly vibrated.

It was Su Mingzhe who called. He calculated the time and it should be six o’clock in the morning in San Francisco. Wu Fei should be awake by then.

At this time, Wu Fei was leaning on the soft big bed, with his daughter sleeping soundly beside him.

She was not in the mood and hesitated for a moment, but still tiptoed to the living room and pressed the answer button.

She did have something to say to Su Mingzhe.

After answering the phone, Su Mingzhe sighed and said, “Fei Fei, I have three surprises for you. The first one is that Mingcheng and Zhu Li are divorced.”

“Oh.” Wu Fei’s tone was calm, without a trace of emotion, because she already knew it a few hours ago.

Su Mingzhe didn’t take it seriously and continued, “The second thing is that Mingyu released Mingcheng for a reason. She actually recorded Mingcheng’s apology video. This incident was a huge shock to Mingcheng. This Mingyu really disappoints me.”

Wu Fei couldn’t help but sneer, “So Mingyu wasn’t willing to let Mingcheng go just because of what you said?”

Su Mingzhe looked slightly bitter and said unhappily, “Is it interesting to talk about this now? Mingyu is really too cruel. I asked her to delete the video but she refused to listen to me. How about you help me persuade her?”

Wu Fei responded bluntly: “Su Mingcheng deserved it. He beat his own sister like that. Mingyu is very generous to let him go. If it were me, I might not let him go either.”

If it were in the past, for the sake of the peace of their little family, Wu Fei might really go to Mingyu for help, so as not to put Su Mingzhe in the middle.

But now she was so disheartened that she didn’t care about the life or death of Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng.

Only at this moment did she truly realize what her parents had said before she got married: marriage is not just the union of two people, but also the fusion of two families.

I thought that by staying in the United States, I could avoid the complicated interpersonal relationships in China.

But she didn’t expect that she would encounter such a complicated family situation like her husband’s family, and she didn’t expect that Su Mingzhe would be so foolishly filial and overestimate his own abilities.

Su Mingzhe was still defending himself on the other end of the phone: “Don’t think so badly of Mingcheng, he has already admitted his mistake.”

Wu Fei didn’t want to argue with him about this topic, so he just said calmly: “What about the third thing?”

Su Mingzhe continued, “Dad is looking at home appliances recently. Some of the furniture is selected according to Mingyu’s family. He said he is used to it, so can you transfer me another two thousand dollars?”

“Your dad…” Wu Fei frowned instantly, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He changed the subject and said, “Mingcheng should be able to get some money from the divorce. You can just ask him for some.”

Su Mingzhe hurriedly explained: “Mingcheng just got divorced, how can I ask him for money? In a few days, my salary for last month will be paid, and I can make up for it then.”

After hearing this, Wu Fei couldn’t help but sneer softly. She had expected this answer.

You only worked a few days last month, how much did you earn?

Wu Fei calmed down and asked, “You bought a house for your father. How much do you and your father each own on the property certificate?”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Su Mingzhe’s tone was a little embarrassed: “Fei Fei, only Dad’s name is written on the property certificate.”

Su Daqiang is a selfish person. He thinks he will feel at ease only if his name is written on the house, and then the house will belong to him completely.

Su Mingzhe was foolishly filial, and in the face of Su Daqiang’s insistence and request, he did not forcefully fight to have his name added to the property certificate.

He didn’t want to have any unpleasantness with his father because of this matter, and he also felt that his father was old and his wishes should be fulfilled as much as possible, so he agreed.

When Wu Fei heard this answer, she felt dizzy. She put her palm on her forehead and felt her blood pressure rising.

She was silent for a long time and suddenly chuckled, Su Mingzhe, Su Mingzhe, you really refresh your cognition again and again.

“I’ll come to you tomorrow and ask for a divorce.”

After Wu Fei finished speaking, he decisively hung up the phone.

……

Lin Yuan returned home, knocked on Wu Fei’s door, and called softly: “Fei Fei, are you asleep?”

Wu Fei was wearing an apricot sweater and walked towards the door with a bit of tiredness.

She opened the door a narrow crack, revealing only half of her face.

Wu Fei thought he was going to talk about moving, so he said first: “I will find a house as soon as possible and won’t cause you any trouble.”

She had just been very angry with Su Mingzhe and was in a bad mood. Then, when she heard Zhu Li hinting that she should move out, she felt even more tired and helpless.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Fei was about to close the door. Lin Yuan quickly reached out and held the door open, explaining, “I’m not here to talk about this. Come out and talk about it. Don’t wake Xiao Mi up.”

Wu Fei hesitated for a moment, but still walked out of the room. Lin Yuan looked at her depressed look, and felt a little sorry for her. He smiled and comforted her softly, “Just stay here and rest assured. No one will let you go.”

Lin Yuan paused, then half-jokingly said, “As long as you pay the rent.”

Wu Fei couldn’t help but be amused by him, thinking that with Lin Yuan’s wealth, why would he care about the rent.

“What about Julie?”

“Julie is just worried that it’s inconvenient for you to live here. She just cares about you. Besides, this is my home, unless you want to leave.”

Wu Feicai didn’t believe it. Only women could understand the meaning of eye contact between them.

She could sense that Julie was looking at her with a hint of caution.

However, she was still very moved by the second half of Lin Yuan’s words. She complained, “It’s not because of this. The house that Su Mingzhe bought for his father was not signed with his name.”

This means that if the two divorce, Wu Fei will not get a penny from this house.

Lin Yuan pondered and said, “Could it be that you asked for a divorce from him a few days ago, so he did this?”

Even at this time he did not forget to apply eye drops.

Wu Fei nodded sadly: “Maybe, no matter what he thinks, I have to divorce him tomorrow.”

Lin Yuan looked at Wu Fei with sympathy in his heart. He raised his hand and patted her back gently to comfort her.

“Divorce will involve the division of property. If Su Mingzhe wants to default on his debts, the company has professional lawyers, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

A trace of gratitude flashed in Wu Fei’s eyes, and he said softly, “Thank you.”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t think about these unhappy things.”

He took out all the clothes from the clothing bag on the coffee table.

It turned out to be two exquisitely designed cheongsams, one large and one small. In addition, there was also a bright and festive red Xiuhe dress.
