I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 297 Protecting the Calf

In a three-bedroom apartment in Jinxin Garden.

In the small living room, Wang Xiaoying, dressed in her pajamas, stood alone under the clothesline on the balcony, feeling utterly hopeless.

On the sofa, Chen Wei smoked a cigarette, his face ashen.

His younger brother, Chen Bo, was huddled by the doorway of his room, peering into the living room with a questioning look in his eyes.

Chen Wei shook his head and waved for Chen Bo to go back inside and not come to the living room to say anything more.

From another room came the little boy's loud cries: "Mommy, I want my mommy!"

Chen Wei's parents were gently coaxing Chen Xing to go to sleep early, telling her that her mother was already asleep.

"Who are you calling?"

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Wei saw that Wang Xiaoying was still standing on the balcony and refused to come in. He said coldly, "I already said that she and I are just colleagues. We were just chatting about work. Are you still not done with this?"

"Chen Wei, I saw it!"

Wang Xiaoying's tear tracks were still wet when she shouted through the sliding door, "You say you miss her because you're just colleagues? And she says she misses you too? I have colleagues too, but I've never said anything like that to other men!"

"Because we're close friends, we often make these kinds of jokes, so we all do it," Chen Wei explained.

"Chen Wei, do you take me for a three-year-old like Xingxing? How could you do this to me?!"

Wang Xiaoying was heartbroken and said, "When we got married, you had nothing. Even this wedding house was paid for by my family! After Xingxing was born, you asked to have your name added to the property certificate, and my family agreed."

"Don't you know how my family has treated you? How could you, Chen Wei, do such a thing!"

Wang Xiaoying became increasingly distressed as she spoke.

The house belongs to her family, and she even paid for the renovations.

Not long after the marriage, Chen Wei brought his parents from the countryside to live with him, and after a while, even his younger brother Chen Bo came.

The whole family was having a lively time inside, making her feel like an outsider.

She was isolated and helpless in this family. Just now, she saw Chen Wei's flirtatious messages with someone else. When the two had a big argument, Chen Wei's parents and younger brother insisted that Chen Wei was not that kind of person and insisted that she was seeing things.

She didn't misread the message; she misread the person!

At the height of the argument, she tried to snatch Chen Wei's phone, wanting to call the woman to confirm the matter, but Chen Wei, enraged, slapped her.

When that slap landed, she froze, as if she were seeing Chen Wei for the first time.

She never imagined that the man she had chosen despite the pressure from her family and relatives would one day hit her because of her infidelity.

Her parents are very traditional.

When she encountered unpleasant things in this family and complained to her parents, they all advised her to be more tolerant, saying that now that Xingxing has been born, it would not be good for either of them if things escalated to the point of divorce.

So when she was wronged, the first person she thought of wasn't her parents, but her older brother who had always loved her since she was little.

"What did I do? You're the one having a mental breakdown, always causing trouble for no reason!"

Chen Wei roared.

"Okay! You can tell my brother later, he'll be here soon!"

Wang Xiaoying said coldly.

"You called Wei Lin?!" Chen Wei's expression changed, and he immediately calmed down a bit.

He knew his parents-in-law's character and knew that even if the old couple came, they would speak kindly to them, advising them to continue living a good life together, and at most they would criticize him and tell him not to do it again.

But what if it's Wei Lin who comes...?

For some reason, he always held Wei Lin in awe and felt that Wei Lin was not someone to be trifled with.

Although Wei Lin had always been kind and gentle to him before they got married, and the two had never had a single argument, he could still sense Wei Lin's fierce and domineering nature.

Therefore, among Wang Xiaoying's relatives, Wei Lin was the one he feared the most.

Upon hearing that Wei Lin was coming, Chen Wei immediately lowered his tone considerably, saying, "Yingying, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. What are you going to say to him? We should resolve our own issues behind closed doors. Why make a big fuss about it?"

"You hit me! Chen Wei, you hit me!" Wang Xiaoying covered her face and sobbed again.

"Alright! Stop crying, I apologize!" Chen Wei softened and went over to hug her, but Wang Xiaoying pushed him away.

Just then, a series of loud knocks came from the door.

Chen Wei sighed inwardly and braced himself to open the door.

As expected, it was Wei Lin standing outside the door.

"elder brother."

Chen Wei gave a wry smile and explained, "It's just a small misunderstanding. Why did she call you over in the middle of the night?"

Wei Lin's angular face was filled with a sharp, cold aura. He entered the room without even changing his slippers and shouted, "Wang Xiaoying, come here!"

"elder brother!"

Wang Xiaoying walked in from the balcony, and the moment she saw him, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She cried as she said, "I saw Chen Wei flirting with other women! I tried to grab his phone, and he slapped me hard across the face. My cheek still hurts!"

"Brother, this is my fault. I acted impulsively!" Chen Wei explained.

"A moment of impulse? Good, very good!"

Wei Lin nodded emphatically, glanced at the closed doors in the corridor, and asked, "Chen Wei, are your parents and brother here too?"

Chen Wei, puzzled, replied, "Yes, it is."

"Don't all stay inside! Go and call them out! Go and call them yourself!" Wei Lin ordered. "Brother, Xingxing needs to sleep. My parents need to put him to bed." Chen Wei felt a little flustered and said, "We three can talk about Yingying and me. There's no need to bother the elders."

"I told you to shout, so go and shout!" Wei Lin suddenly raised his voice.

His voice was high-pitched and penetrating; it could probably be heard not only in this three-bedroom apartment, but even in the sleep of the neighbor next door.

"I'll come out myself, why are you yelling?" Chen Bo stepped out of the room first, shuffling into the living room in his slippers, and said with dissatisfaction, "In the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep?"

He had little contact with Wei Lin, only meeting him once at his brother and sister-in-law's wedding.

In his memory, Wei Lin had a gentle smile and was always polite to everyone at the wedding, appearing harmless. Therefore, he had no fear of Wei Lin whatsoever.

“You should be sleeping in your university dorm, not your brother and sister-in-law’s wedding room.”

Wei Lin said coldly.

“Isn’t my brother’s house my house too?” Chen Bo retorted.

Wei Lin was amused by his words and said, "From today onwards, your brother has no home in Linjiang City, let alone you?"

"Wei Lin, what do you mean by that?"

The two brothers' father, Chen Hongli, had just been hesitating in the house when Wei Lin's words suddenly made him angry.

He flung open the door and rushed out, glaring at Wei Lin and shouting, "Why doesn't Xiao Wei have a home anymore?!"

He had a dark complexion and a thin, small build. Before coming to the city, he spent most of his time in the farmland in the countryside.

He no longer farms, but works as a bricklayer in Linjiang City, earning more than he did when he farmed. He would absolutely refuse to return to the countryside to farm now.

Did you contribute any money to this house? What does it have to do with you?

Wei Lin grinned.

Seeing Chen Bo and Chen Hongli come out, he felt that was enough, so he suddenly pounced on Chen Wei and pressed him down on the sofa, holding Chen Wei's hands tightly.

"Wei Lin, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Chen Wei struggled desperately, but could not move.

"Yingying, which hand did he use to hit you?" Wei Lin roared.

Wang Xiaoying: "Right hand!"

"it is good!"

Wei Lin grabbed Chen Wei's right hand, and with his other hand, he pinned Chen Wei's left hand against his chest, pressing him firmly onto the sofa. He then used Chen Wei's own right hand to slap Chen Wei's face.

"Clap clap clap!"

Three slaps landed heavily on Chen Wei's face in quick succession.

Chen Wei's face became red and swollen in an instant.

Chen Wei was stunned by his own slap, staring blankly at Wei Lin, who had suddenly become fierce, with a look of fear and disbelief.

"You dare to flirt with other people, fine, but you even dare to hit my sister?" Wei Lin roared, his face contorted with murderous intent. He glared at the terrified Chen Wei, "You dare to hit my sister? Chen Wei, if you weren't my brother-in-law, if you weren't Xingxing's father, I'd cripple you, you believe me?"

"Clap clap clap!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Wei's hand and slapped Chen Wei's face three more times.

At this moment, Chen Wei realized that his feeling was correct, and it finally confirmed that Wei Lin was no pushover, just as he had expected.

"You hit my brother! You dare hit my brother!"

Chen Bo suddenly realized what was happening and rushed straight towards Wei Lin, only to be kicked by Wei Lin and curled up on the ground clutching his stomach, only able to groan in pain.

Chen Hongli also wanted to step forward to help, and he did indeed take a few steps forward.

But when he saw his youngest son, Chen Bo, being kicked to the ground by Wei Lin, he instantly calmed down and shouted, "Wei Lin, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Chen Bo! Call the police!"

"Call the police to deal with him!"

Chen Hongli realized that even the three of them combined might not be a match for Wei Lin, so the only way to deal with the agitated Wei Lin was to call the police.

"Hitting someone! Beating someone!"

Hearing that something was wrong outside, Ma Fang locked Chen Xing inside and rushed out, shouting loudly at Wei Lin.

"Calling the police is fine, since it was Chen Wei who committed domestic violence against Yingying. I want to see how he explains himself!"

Wei Lin, who had been suppressing his anger all the way, was completely ignited by this family. He said, "What were you doing when Chen Wei hit Yingying? Your whole family was huddled in the wedding house my sister bought and bullying her. Can't you do anything humane?"

"Chen Bo, don't call the police! Don't!" Chen Wei shouted.

"Chen Wei, don't you work in the system? The Water Resources Bureau, right?" Wei Lin sneered, "You flirted with a female colleague, and when you were caught, you actually beat your wife at home. You're really something! Call the police right away. I'm thinking of making this a big deal, so that everyone in your bureau knows about it!"

Upon hearing this, the whole family calmed down.

Chen Wei's current workplace is good, with excellent benefits, and they also know that Chen Wei is likely to be promoted in the near future.

Once the police are called, many things can no longer be covered up, and Chen Wei may be dealt with for misconduct.

Chen Wei was their support, and they would never dare to let this happen.

"Brother, let me go first, let's talk this out."

Chen Wei's face was swollen on one side, and he could barely speak. He pleaded pitifully.
