Chapter 382: Chapter 356: Mainly Attacking the Heart (Thanks to Hua Piao Ling and Shi Bi for the update)

“Are you really threatening our Aunt?” Big Brother Yu was dumbfounded.

He thought that Youngest Brother Yu had been ruthless enough by trying to get Uncle to retire early.

Unexpectedly, there was someone even worse. Of course, what Big Brother Yu didn’t know was that Xiao Qian was no better than Yu Mingxi, being on the same level, so when he mentioned it, Xiao Qian drank her wine guiltily, slurping it like tea. Yu Minglang seemed to see through everything, giving her a half-smile.

“It’s not really a threat. I found my student, and she recently took on a drama where she plays a mistress, needing a wife to confront. Art comes from life, so I had her go to our aunt for practice.”

Seeing everyone’s expressions of sudden realization, Yu Mingxi wanted to cover her tracks by explaining it.

“I can’t be blamed for this. When she wanted to leave early, I reminded her to stay and apologize to the youngest brother. I even told my apprentice that if our aunt didn’t leave early, we would let her go and find someone else to practice with. But Aunt wouldn’t listen, she insisted on leaving early. How is this my fault?”

Well, if it’s not your fault… you must be kidding!

Xiao Qian couldn’t control her own schadenfreude, forgive her for being so devoid of sympathy.

In handling this matter, Yu Mingxi and Xiao Qian seemed to be quite similar in their approaches.

Xiao Qian had gotten more than twenty disposable phone cards with untraceable numbers, and called her aunt daily at random times. On the first day, she had Shi Touyu ask for an introduction, then hung up after mentioning knowing about her and her husband’s affairs.

From then on, a silent call came at random times each day.

Simply torturing her like that.

It’s like boiling a frog in warm water, mainly attacking her psychologically.

Considering Xiao Qian had held a grudge for so long over a simple personal issue, and even going so far as to ruin her reputation, Xiao Qian couldn’t believe that this spoiled and immature old lady, approaching fifty, didn’t have any weaknesses.

As the saying goes: “No guilty conscience, no fear of ghosts knocking.”

So just intimidate her, not specifying what it is, and let her mull it over.

People with such status wouldn’t dare to openly investigate the phone calls and would be even more afraid of Xiao Qian calling someone else. They could only receive the calls every day, unable to turn off the phone, for fear that if she didn’t answer, the calls would go to her uncle.

It was clear that Aunt had quite a few skeletons in her closet, some of which even her husband didn’t dare know.

After playing this game for more than half a month, Xiao Qian had tormented her aunt into insomnia and had let off some steam on her own.

Today, Yu Mingxi stirred things up, which actually made her aunt feel relieved, as she must have thought that the woman who had been calling her was the one Yu Mingxi found.

Although the stone had fallen, the days wouldn’t settle down, and once she returned, her aunt would undoubtedly confront her uncle. Considering that Uncle had just retired, he mustn’t be in a great mood, and whatever was going to happen, Xiao Qian could imagine but had no sympathy for her aunt.

“I was just joking with her. After all, didn’t she just want to play a joke on me? Since she thinks I look like a pawn being manipulated, I can’t let her down. If you don’t handle a knife well, it’ll still make you bleed.”

Before Yu Mingxi met Xiao Qian, she had a rather negative impression of her. Even calling it terrible would be an understatement.

However, she still remembered that Yu Minglang was born with her, and that they came out of their mother’s womb together. No matter how they fought, the siblings shared a bond since birth, having grown up together, so how could their feelings be ordinary?

Aunt shouldn’t have targeted Yu Minglang and Yu Mingxi in her schemes.

Even if Yu Mingxi didn’t like Xiao Qian, she would consider the harm to her brother after her aunt started picking a fight. That’s why she tried to test Xiao Qian while also striking back at her aunt.

The smartest thing Xiao Qian did was not argue with Yu Mingxi. She left room for Yu Minglang and saved herself the trouble of fighting with Yu Mingxi. It’s not that she couldn’t win, but there was no need.

Yu Minglang may love her, but he’s not without his own family. Ming Lang wasn’t foolish; he saw everything. Xiao Qian had to step back a little so he could respect her even more. Boss Qian wasn’t only about aggressive tactics, but also about outsmarting the opponent.

Anyhow, Yu Mingxi was usually away, not even being able to come home twice a year, so why fight with her over this?

“It’s about time to find her something to do, so she won’t spend all her energy stalking my Qian Bao. She’s a paranoid person; once she targets someone, there’s no end to it. She can’t discipline her own son, so it seems like the whole society is her enemy. Let her find something to do, so she won’t cause trouble all the time.”

“Right, you guys keep this a secret from me. If anyone dares to tell our dad, I won’t let you off!”

Before Yu Mingxi could finish, she felt Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian poking her from left to right. When she looked up, Mother Yu was standing at the study door with a plate of cut fruit.

How embarrassing…

Caught red-handed!

Yu Mingxi’s mouth twitched at the corners, and she looked to her eldest brother for help, but he was pretending to fix his clothes. She looked at Yu Minglang, her twin, her milk kinship. Let’s go!

Apparently, her milk kinship couldn’t be relied upon as he pretended to pour wine.

At the critical moment, Boss Qian was still dependable, bravely stepping forward.

Xiao Qian pretended not to see Yu Mingxi’s pleading and murmured to herself, “When people say that you can tell a person’s character from when they’re three years old, a terrible younger aunt in her youth wall turn into a terrible older aunt when she’s old, bullying the older generation and then focusing on the younger ones…”

Xiao Qian firmly believed that her aunt’s personality was not developed overnight.

Yu Minglang always stressed that his aunt was spoiled by her grandparents, uncles, and older uncles, leading to a somewhat paranoid and twisted personality. As long as her wishes were not fulfilled, she felt that people were bothering her.

Such a terrible aunt must have been a terrible young aunt in her youth. With her knees, she could think of Yu Minglang’s intellectual mother, who must have been bullied by her aunt when she first got married. Don’t think that a terrible young aunt will stop being terrible when she’s old!

So, Xiao Qian’s timely reminder made Mother Yu, who was about to scold the children for their misbehavior, recall the times when she had been bullied by her younger sister-in-law during her youth.

Back then, the Yu family was a big family. Mother Yu took care of her younger brother Qi Yue and her husband’s unmarried older sister. In the early years, when times were tough, Mother Yu didn’t follow her husband to work but stayed at home to take care of the family. She also had a job and had to manage the household chores when she came home.

Her aunt did nothing at all. After eating, she would just wipe her mouth and leave without even washing the dishes. She made Mother Yu wash everything, including her blood-stained underpants even when she was already eighteen. That wasn’t the worst of it; she was unreasonable and desperately meddled in everything. Every time Father Yu came back, she would complain about Mother Yu’s treatment of her. Fortunately, Father Yu knew better, otherwise, the family would have been destroyed by this terrible young aunt..
