Chapter 318 - 292: Discussing the Truth (Birthday + Update)
“I really want to know how they found out. All the direct relatives know. It’s said that the origin of the incident was spread by your Second Aunt, but she has cerebral atrophy. Sometimes she is lucid, and sometimes she is confused. We can’t find out who told her from her mouth.” Mother Yu said anxiously.
This Second Aunt is quite a character. When she was young, she liked to gossip about other people’s affairs. Now that she has cerebral atrophy, she sometimes can’t even find her own door. But if you tell her some gossip about other people’s families, she can remember it for many days and spread it around, gaining a sense of existence from spreading gossip.
“It seems that there is some ill intention.” The usually silent Second Brother Yu speaks up, and Eldest Brother nods.
Yu Minglang’s face is dark as he quickly filters through the information, his hand never leaving Xiao Qian’s waist.
“I have called you back to discuss and deal with this matter. Xiao Qian is now a part of our family, and when something happens, we all have to discuss it together. What do you all think about how to deal with this issue?”
Mother Yu has also considered how to handle it properly for a long time.
The main question is whether to tell Xiao Qian or not.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t tell Xiao Qian. Mother Yu can handle it well with their sons. However, intuition tells her that she shouldn’t avoid Xiao Qian. This is also a very valuable crisis handling experience before marrying into the Yu Family, and Xiao Qian should learn from it.
“We’ll go in two directions: one is to start from the relatives, see if the Second Aunt can remember who told her, and have the relatives make phone calls, without directly answering. Big Brother, you take care of this matter, and if necessary, you can threaten. I’ll go back to investigate who leaked the secret.” Yu Minglang decisively dealt with the problem.
As he spoke, Xiao Qian quickly analyzed the situation in her mind. She and Xiao Qiang had the same thought. As Xiao Qian had expected, Yu Minglang’s goofiness was only aimed at her. Once faced with issues, he is a very reliable man.
Eldest Brother nods, while Second Brother is still thinking.
“I’ll go and seal the relatives’ mouths. They know our family very well and must have planned it beforehand. But in any case, they can’t keep talking about Xiao Qian.” Eldest Brother speaks up.
Big Brother Yu knows very well how difficult it is to block all the rumors about Xiao Qian. It is not easy to deal with this matter. If it were an outsider, it would be okay, but these are all direct relatives. If it’s not handled well, Xiao Qian will have a hard time facing them in the future.
Knowing the difficulty of this matter, Big Brother takes it upon himself without hesitation. As the eldest in the family, he has to deal with the most complicated issues.
Second Brother Yu looks at Yu Minglang, “Youngest, there must be someone in your team who is not keeping their mouth shut, it must be investigated.”
Yu Minglang nods gravely. Actually, he doesn’t worry about anything else. He is confident that he can handle these matters well, but he is only worried about Xiao Qian.
Just discussing with Jia Xiufang that rumors could be vicious enough to harm people invisibly, they received news about Xiao Qian at night. He is mainly worried about Xiao Qian’s psychological feelings.
Although most of his relatives are doing well, it doesn’t mean that those who are doing well won’t spread rumors. Out of fear of Father Yu’s prestige, they don’t dare to spread the news outside, but they spread it all within the family. After Xiao Qian marries into the family, these people may look down on Xiao Qian.
The idea of someone daring to look at Xiao Qian with an unfriendly gaze makes Yu Minglang want to beat someone up.
Feeling his worried gaze, Xiao Qian looks up and casts a determined look at him. She has never been afraid of these things. In her past life, she had taken care of Little Wei by herself, so what kind of nasty words hadn’t she heard?
From that time on, Xiao Qian realized that people shouldn’t only live in other people’s eyes, and doing things didn’t need to be shown to others. This is especially true for so-called relatives.
Genuine relatives who would lend a hand in times of crisis usually only have eyes, hands, and a heart. For example, her Fourth Uncle’s family doesn’t discuss right or wrong, but they keep an eye on everything.
More relatives have eyes that watch others fall into misfortune and mouths that gossip. They never act when it’s most critical, and they can avoid things faster than anyone else. Since that’s the case, why should we care about what they have to say? Let them say what they want!
Xiao Qian thinks the opinions of the Yu family’s relatives don’t matter. The fact that Mother Yu brought her over and openly stated her position means she’s on Xiao Qian’s side. As long as her future in-laws know what’s going on, the worst-case scenario is that the relatives’ gossip becomes unstoppable. She’ll pretend not to see it, and anyway, Xiao Qian has high self-esteem and doesn’t care about these things.
However, Yu Minglang and the others in the Yu Family don’t seem to be willing to let it go. They absolutely can’t let this bother their family.
When Yu Minglang saw Xiao Qian’s determined look, he knew she wasn’t scared, and his heart relaxed. But he didn’t hold back his anger; he had to stand up for Xiao Mei.
Mother Yu sees that Xiao Qian has been silent and thinks she is either scared or upset. She speaks up to comfort her.
“Xiao Qian, don’t be scared. Our family has always had a high profile, and there are many people watching us. After marrying into our family, you’ll have to face these things sooner or later. Your Uncle and I have gone through ups and downs from young to now, and have seen all sorts of things. We want you to see them too, so don’t be afraid,our whole family supports you.”
“I know, Aunt, I’m fine.” Xiao Qian’s psychological quality certainly won’t be shaken by this.
Mother Yu is very satisfied with Xiao Qian’s calm attitude and asks Yu Minglang with a serious face.
“How do you want to handle it?”
“In my unit, there is no place for people who leak secrets. I will investigate strictly, get to the bottom and not let up!”
The news is blocked, and now only a few people know the inside story.
Now even the most distant relatives of the Yu family know about this matter. The three brothers of the Yu family know that someone must be targeting them.
“I want to report something.” Xiao Qian suddenly thought about the call she received before she almost broke up with Yu Minglang.
“What is it?” Yu Minglang is anxious and frustrated, feeling useless with his woman being targeted and the leaker still not found.
“Before, when I talked to you about breaking up— ”
“Breaking up?!” Mother Yu’s voice raises several degrees.
Yu Minglang immediately tries to smooth things over.
“She was being emotional because of her period, it was just nonsense, not serious.”
Mother Yu looks at Xiao Qian, who nods, “I was just kidding.”
Mother Yu finally relaxes and says to Xiao Qian earnestly, “In the future, you can play with other things, but not this one.”
“Yeah, I won’t play with this anymore. The thing is, I received a call.”
“A call without caller ID?” Yu Minglang immediately remembers this detail. Yes, he had pondered that call before, and the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
