Chapter 187: I Love Watching This Drama
“Roommate?”
Xia Ke Ke suddenly forced her brother’s hand away and finally got to see the horrifying, eye-burning scene inside.
Thinking of the sounds they had heard outside the door earlier, and of what Qiu Tian Li had just confessed, and then realizing that her best friend’s boyfriend was actually the one on the bottom…
She honestly felt heartbroken for her best friend, then fired up all engines and said in a voice dripping with sarcasm: “Oh, a roommate who hugs and kisses and lifts you up high with no clothes on in broad daylight. Don’t tell me it’s just hot and you just happened to be shirtless, and we just happened to see you. It’s winter. Don’t you feel cold?”
As soon as Xia Ke Ke finished speaking, a cold wind blew straight through the room, chilling everyone to the bone.
But the coldest people were still the two men inside. Qiu Tian Li shivered and couldn’t help sneezing. His little lover hurried to find clothes for him and draped them over him, caring for him tenderly as if no one else were there.
Heart pounding with panic, Qiu Tian Li thought of the money and power behind Yu Chu Hui’s family and still tried one last struggle: “Chu Hui, listen to me. It’s really not what you think.”
“Save it. It’s not like we’re blind and deaf. We can tell exactly what kind of shameful relationship you two have.”
“You shut up. This is between me and Chu Hui. It has nothing to do with you. I know you’ve always had a problem with me because I took Chu Hui from you. You don’t like me. But that’s no reason for you to target me on purpose and ignore Chu Hui’s lifelong happiness.”
“…”
In her heart, Xia Ke Ke cursed: This is what it means to twist the truth!
Also, she and her best friend clearly had a pure, heaven-moving sisterhood. Their friendship was as clean as could be. Yet with just a few words from him, she had turned into a small-minded villain who loved without getting love back and played tricks behind the scenes.
Sure enough, some people are so bad that they think everyone else is an animal just like them.
Yu Chu Hui was just as angry. She snapped: “What about what Ke Ke said is wrong? If you’re bold enough to do something so filthy, then don’t be afraid of people talking about it. Or is it that you yourself know you’re not acting like a human being? You clearly have a girlfriend. You clearly like men. You clearly can’t get it up for women, but you still have to find a girlfriend. You still want to trick a girl into marrying you and scheme after her family’s property.”
“My lifelong happiness? Ha! So my so-called happiness in your eyes is what, becoming a baby-making tool and having a child for you and your boyfriend? What exactly do you take me for? You animal, you trash. Do you even deserve to be called human?”
Only then did the other families living on the fourth floor, along with the two aunties who had followed them upstairs, realize that this girl who had broken down earlier was actually that poor, deceived girlfriend.
Right away, they understood why she had collapsed like that before. Some of them even felt a bit sorry for her.
One auntie said: “He has no conscience. It’s one thing if he wants to do this, but how can he trick a girl into having a child for them?”
“And it’s not just having a child for him. Didn’t you hear him say that he can’t do it with women so he wants the girl to have a child for that one? Thank goodness she found out early. If not, imagine how much she’d suffer.”
“What a sin! I have a daughter at home. If anyone dared treat my daughter like this, I’d have to grab a knife and chop him up. This is going too far!”
“Exactly. A person like that deserves to be struck by lightning!”
To be fair, these aunties loved gossiping, but at critical moments they were very warm-hearted. The more they talked, the more upset they got. They almost rushed up themselves to help Yu Chu Hui slap these two cheating scum.
Listening to everyone’s comments, Qiu Tian Li felt like the mask of decency he had worn for so many years had been ripped off and thrown on the ground. His face turned green and white by turns, looking very ugly.
His brain buzzed. Almost by reflex, he reached toward his only lifeline, which in his mind was still Yu Chu Hui.
Realizing what he was planning, Xia Ke Ke screamed: “What are you trying to do? Don’t come any closer!”
Her older brother and second brother quickly stepped forward and stood between the two girls and Qiu Tian Li. One of them shoved him hard.
Qiu Tian Li stumbled and nearly fell.
His little lover rushed forward to support him and shouted: “How can you hit people?”
Then he took a step forward and started fighting with the two brothers.
The scene quickly descended into chaos. Only when someone downstairs who didn’t know what was going on called the police and the police came and took everyone away in a single car did this farce finally end.
After listening to Jiang You Nian and the others describe everything in vivid detail, the piece of melon in Du An Rao’s hand almost slipped out of her fingers.
[Even though I knew it would be explosive, I didn’t expect it to be this explosive!]
The Jiang family all fell silent. They looked at each other and all felt the same way.
“Ahem…”
Jiang Chang Bin cleared his throat and said: “With those two brothers of Xia Ke Ke there, the bodyguards I sent ended up with nothing to do. But because everyone was taken to the station, I had to be the one to bail them out afterward.”
Heaven only knew how close to falling apart Yu Qing Ting had been when he got the call at work telling him to go bail out his sister. Later, when he heard the bodyguards all talking over each other about why they had ended up at the station, he was so shocked that he almost split open on the spot.
At the time, seeing that Yu Qing Ting didn’t seem quite right when he got the call, and worried that something might have happened to Yu Chu Hui, Jiang Chang Bin went with him to the police bureau. He watched his good brother go through the whole process from confusion, to shock, to fear, to fury. Otherwise he wouldn’t know things so clearly.
“At first, Qing Ting could still barely stay calm. He thought it was just that his sister had bad taste in men and had almost become the unknowing wife of a gay man. But when he found out what they actually planned to do… he completely lost it and almost beat those two bastards up right there inside the police bureau.”
[Hahaha, who knew Sister Yu’s brother was such a man of feeling. I love watching this kind of drama. Give me more!]
The Jiang family: “…”
More? The man had almost died of anger.
But then they thought about it. If their family had a daughter, and their daughter ran into something like this…
Stop. They couldn’t think any further. If they kept thinking, their blood pressure might go up.
“No wonder he’s angry. Who wouldn’t be if they ran into something like this?”
Madam Jiang sighed and said: “Young people these days, the way they play has become so wild. Not only that, they even want to do that kind of heartless thing. Aren’t they afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Hearing this, Jiang You Nian answered awkwardly: “This has nothing to do with playing wild, and nothing to do with him being gay. It’s purely those two people being black-hearted and rotten.”
Du An Rao nodded hard in agreement.
[Young people won’t take the blame for this, and the quiet, low-key little gay guys even less so! They’re already a small group, and then with scum like this staining their name, it makes life even harder for those poor ones who just want to live in peace. They have to be careful even when they breathe, afraid that if someone finds out, they’ll face a storm of curses and be pushed to “pay with their lives.”]
Even though Du An Rao had lived on the mountain for many years and didn’t know much about worldly affairs, and she had made a few jokes when she first came down the mountain, that didn’t mean that during all those years on the mountain she only ever saw her master and never met anyone else.
On the contrary, their little run-down Daoist temple was somewhat famous in the local area. Many pilgrims came to pray and make vows, and some of them were even travelers from faraway parts of the country.
From a young age, Du An Rao had followed her master in receiving these pilgrims. During that time, she had seen rich heirs who came to pray that their brothers and sisters would suddenly die so they could inherit the family fortune.
She had also seen ordinary office workers whose lives were hard and poor, but whose whole families pulled together as one. They only prayed that their sick family members could recover soon.
She had seen scumbag men who, in order to marry a pregnant mistress, tried to kill their first wife, forcing the first wife and child to flee up the mountain to seek the temple’s protection.
And she had seen a devoted man who spent the rest of his life walking all over the country on foot, just to fulfill his lover’s wish to roam the world together. That lover, as it happened, had been the same gender as he was.
