Chapter 311: Chapter 319: Clueless
Su Hengyi was overprotective of his younger sister and also quite annoyed by Han Yu’s possessive attitude. Even though Lady Yue had married, she was still his sister. If he couldn’t even have a heartfelt conversation with his sister without Han Yu getting jealous, then it was time to teach him a lesson and prevent him from meddling too much—this was simply absurd!
Han Yu knew he had shown his agitation too obviously, which had provoked his eldest brother-in-law into a fury. He inwardly lamented—it was crucial not to offend the eldest brother-in-law. Otherwise, if the latter decided to cause trouble between him and his daughter-in-law, Han Yu would have much to endure. His eldest brother-in-law was much more formidable than his second uncle, who was only strict on the surface and wouldn’t actually do anything. However, the eldest brother-in-law could be quite “sly” at times. If he genuinely decided to deal with Han Yu, being at a disadvantage, there was no way Han Yu could come out on top.
“Big brother has misunderstood. I must have accumulated good fortune in my previous life to have married such a wonderful daughter-in-law. I can’t pamper her enough, let alone be dissatisfied with her. It’s my fault for not protecting her well enough in the past and letting her suffer grievances. I will definitely treat her well in the future, cherish her like a rare treasure. Please don’t be angry, big brother. It’s just that I’m not good at expressing myself,” Han Yu immediately made his stance clear. He had never been so humble, not even in front of his superiors—typically he would act as he saw fit, maybe just with a better expression. But after all, the man before him was his elder brother-in-law.
However, Su Hengyi had no intention of letting it go, his gaze fixed on Han Yu: “I think you’re not bad at speaking; you just can’t stand to see the affection between siblings! I’ve watched over my sister since she was little—we even slept together when she was young, I doted on her and cherished her. We’ve been like this for over a decade, so why can’t you bear it, brother-in-law? Speaking of which, I somewhat regret having married her off. It feels like she’s been snatched away by a wolf.”
Hearing Su Hengyi’s words, the corners of Han Yu’s eyebrows and mouth involuntarily twitched. He couldn’t accept the eldest brother-in-law’s blunt and face-slapping truth. Fortunately, Han Yu had a strong inner fortitude and could still smile and deal with his eldest brother-in-law.
Su Wenyue was embarrassed by her brother’s words. What was he saying? Then she glanced at Han Yu, who was clearly holding back his frustration but still had to humble himself before his brother-in-law, looking like he was serving an ancestor. This sight was indeed rare, and she couldn’t help but snicker, not very kindly. Han Yu noticed it instantly. Though he only glanced at her, it gave a chilling feeling. Su Wenyue’s smile froze on her face—Han Yu was well-known for settling scores later.
Han Yu was indeed clenching his teeth inwardly. This ungrateful person should see that he was only trying to please her elder brother for her sake! First, she undermines his own ‘rules’ and now she dares to make fun of him? She definitely deserved a lesson.
Su Wenyue felt a sense of crisis for no apparent reason. Seeing that her elder brother showed no signs of stopping his treatment of Han Yu, Su Wenyue worried that if she enjoyed the show now, she would suffer Han Yu’s revenge later. So she said, “Elder brother, don’t bother with him. Han Yu is just narrow-minded. Why stoop to his level? Let’s have a nice chat, just us siblings.”
What Su Wenyue said was indeed intended to help Han Yu, to get her elder brother to stop making things difficult for him. But the way she said it was terribly unartful. Not only did it fail to soothe Han Yu’s indignation, but it also made him take note of her words. Now Han Yu realized what his wife truly thought of him.
If Su Wenyue knew what Han Yu was thinking, she would definitely cry foul. She understood her brother well—if she spoke well of Han Yu, her elder brother would definitely not let Han Yu off easily. Therefore, she could only insult Han Yu. Su Wenyue thought Han Yu would understand her intentions, but the man she accused of being narrow-minded was now holding a grudge. Han Yu didn’t care how others saw him, but he cared deeply about his wife’s opinions.
