"Xiuyu, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

"What kind of talk is that? You didn't take me with you when you were driving, and now you're begging me after the car crashes? Did you let me enjoy it for you when you were having fun?"

Li Xiuyu snorted coldly, patted his butt, and went back to his bedroom to lie down.

I'd like you to take my place, but you don't have the organ... Li Zhuangsheng pouted, on the verge of tears.

"I think I should call Xie Jiangqing. It's not good to keep bothering her, but..."

“My sister is very proud. If she finds out that Xie Jiangqing also knows, she will be mortified. Sister Jiangqing didn’t tell you what Qi Haoyu did, right? Because she doesn’t know either. When my sister is having a hard time, she doesn’t want to tell anyone.” Hu Mengke walked over. “If she really needed to, she should have gone to see Sister Jiangqing last night or called her.”

Li Zhuangsheng paused for a moment, then thought that made sense. Family scandals should not be aired in public, even if that person is your best friend... Perhaps it is precisely because that person is your best friend that you are even less willing to talk about it.

"What should we do then..." Li Zhuangsheng was at a loss. Suddenly, Li Zhuangsheng's phone rang again. He glanced at it and saw that it was Fang Yueyue calling.

"Sigh, the phone's ringing again!" Li Zhuangsheng sighed, but still answered. "Ah, I'm so sorry, so sorry. She wasn't feeling well this morning, yes, it's the same as before, she had a bit of a headache... Yes, I brought her to the hospital, but I left my phone at home... She might have to take the next couple of days off, so I'll have to trouble you a little. Okay, okay, I'm really sorry!"

"Alright, everything should be fine for now." Li Zhuangsheng put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just your parents' side... sigh!"

"I'll explain to my parents. I'll take good care of my sister these next few days and wait for her to recover on her own," Hu Mengke sighed softly.

"Well... that's the only way."

Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head; with his experience as a high school student, he really couldn't think of any good solutions.

Hu Mengke breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although the process was a little different for Li Zhuangsheng, the result should be the same.

She understood Hu Mengdie; how proud the other girl was, never having looked up to her, her younger sister, since childhood. The other girl had always been the apple of her parents' eye, the pride of the family, with excellent grades, praised by all her parents' relatives and friends, and finally getting into a top university. Her parents were incredibly proud at her graduation banquet… Therefore, Hu Mengdie couldn't withstand any setbacks.

Especially such humiliation from Hu Mengke.

In Hu Mengdie's eyes, Hu Mengke should just be that good-for-nothing burden. All the help the other party gave her was nothing but pity, the pity of a superior for a subordinate... They clearly never paid attention to her since she was a child, so why are they pretending to be sisters now!
Hu Mengke only figured it out later. By then, Hu Mengdie had returned to her hometown and become a listless shut-in. But the trigger was probably Qi Haoyu trying to seduce her, and the hint of smugness she couldn't help but show.

I never expected your boyfriend to try and seduce someone like me. Sister, all the choices you've made over the years haven't been great. How did you end up with someone like this?

Perhaps Qi Haoyu had already cheated on her, but Hu Mengdie had kept up the act until now. She had spoken so confidently and emphatically to her parents back then… She was too eager to be perfect, wanting to prove that her stubbornness back then was right.

So Hu Mengke shattered the other party's inexplicable pride. Only the younger sister whom Hu Mengdie looked down upon could truly bring Hu Mengdie the ultimate humiliation!
She admitted that she wanted to take the opportunity to get revenge; she was jealous, she hated, she was unwilling... all under the pretense of doing what was best for Hu Mengdie.

At this moment, Hu Mengdie was so stubborn and naive, yet she was still so beautiful, like a child holding gold. It is crucial to let the other person realize the true nature of the world and who is truly good to them as soon as possible.

Hu Mengdie was that stubborn; even if she hit a wall, she would keep going until she was bleeding. But once she stopped, she would completely give up because of a strong sense of shame.

But now, everything can go back to the way it was before. Hu Mengdie will rediscover Li Zhuangsheng's good qualities. As long as her parents talk to her again and give her some leeway, everything will return to the way it was originally envisioned.

Only if Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie's marriage continues and they have their own child will she have a real place to live.

After finishing lunch, Hu Mengke seemed to receive a phone call and hurriedly found Li Zhuangsheng. "Brother-in-law, Xuanxuan is sick!" Hu Mengke's face was full of anxiety.

"You're sick? Is it serious?" Li Zhuangsheng was also surprised.

"I have to go back and take her to the hospital..."

"I will go with you!"

"No, no, if you leave, what will happen to my sister?" Hu Mengke shook her head. "I'll go. I might not be home for the next couple of days, so please take care of my sister..."

Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath, at a loss for what to do, and he was indeed worried about Hu Mengdie's current withdrawn state.

"Alright then... You must tell me if you have any questions!"

"Mmm." Hu Mengke put on her coat and was about to go out when Li Zhuangsheng saw her to the front door. Hu Mengke kissed him on the lips again and whispered, "No matter what, you two are husband and wife. If you could reconcile with your sister, that would be great... I'd be willing to be your concubine."

"Don't say things like that..."

Li Zhuangsheng gave a wry smile. What big or small? Is this still the 21st century?
"Just like in anime, my parents will agree."

Hu Mengke kissed Li Zhuangsheng again and hurriedly left.

Anime? Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and thought, "But who is the female lead? Can hentai even be considered anime?"
……

"What's wrong?" Li Xiuyu slowly walked out. "Who went out? Is lunch ready?"

"It's done. Mengke went out; it seems Xuanxuan is sick." Li Zhuangsheng sighed, his face worried. "Hopefully it's just a minor ailment."

"Wouldn't it be better for you if that little burden were gone?"

"Are you crazy?!" Li Zhuangsheng glared at him. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Li Xiuyu, however, was not afraid at all and shrugged: "Actually, any normal person would have such a thought, right? If you don't think that way, it's just that you're stupid."

Li Zhuangsheng clicked his tongue: "What are you trying to do? That's a life!"

Li Xiuyu grinned: "That's only because you don't love Hu Mengke, so your feelings for Xuanxuan can be pure."

Li Zhuangsheng didn't understand Li Xiuyu's meaning and was too lazy to say anything more. He turned around and went to the kitchen to get rice. However, he first put the food into the insulated lunchbox that he had just washed that morning, and then he put the food for himself and Li Xiuyu.

"The main quest has been updated again." Li Xiuyu shrugged.

She completely understood Hu Mengke's thoughts. But she remained calm, taking no action, only smiling with her head down. (End of Chapter)
