Chapter 482: Chapter 456: Unbearable to Look Back
Now it’s confirmed that the Lone Wolf’s fiancée was Hu Meijing, the wife of Chu Xuan, whom Xiao Qian had treated.
According to Rong Yuan, this woman was extremely wicked and ruthless. She remarried with the insurance money right after Lone Wolf’s death.
Even the usually fair-minded Yu Minglang agreed with the woman’s heartlessness.
The Hu Meijing, that Xiao Qian had encountered, was gentle and kind to her husband. Even though her husband had a mild manic disorder, she never deserted him and protected him tenderly.
What terrified Xiao Qian the most was that this woman’s godmother was the Lone Wolf’s real mother!
If Lone Wolf had not died, Hu Meijing should call her teacher ‘mom,’ as they would have been mother and daughter-in-law!
But after Lone Wolf’s death, Hu Meijing became teacher’s goddaughter. Judging from the teacher’s attitude, she must be satisfied with Hu Meijing. Since Chu Xuan had a manic disorder, the teacher let Xiao Qian treat him. As per Hu Meijing, the teacher visited her periodically.
The teacher, who usually had unsociable relationships with others, treated Hu Meijing very affectionately, almost like her biological daughter.
This informational load was too heavy, and Xiao Qian felt dizzy and could not understand where the problem had occurred.
Under these circumstances, not being hostile to Hu Meijing was already a bonus. Even Lone Wolf’s former teammates gnashed their teeth when talking about Hu Meijing. As his real mother, teacher should hate her even more.
Xiao Qian’s clever mind quickly thought of several possible situations.
The teacher must have met Hu Meijing, because Lone Wolf was engaged to her at the time, and he must have introduced her to his parents.
Is it possible that the teacher is taking revenge on her son in a different way?
The only reason Xiao Qian could think of was that, like in her past life, after her daughter Xiao Wei passed away, she began to torment all the ‘bad guys’ who had hurt her daughter and used brutal methods to kill them.
The teacher’s character was similar to hers; could it be because she resented Hu Meijing that she introduced a man with mania to her?
And sent a newbie, which was herself, to treat Chu Xuan, hoping that she would ruin Chu Xuan’s treatment, then he would deteriorate and become mentally ill, and probably have a few kids with mania as this disease could be inherited…
Xiao Qian’s conspiracy theory was becoming more and more terrifying, but it looked like it could not hold water because the teacher was not the kind of person to do such things. Even if she hated Hu Meijing, she would not involve innocent Xiao Qian.
She didn’t know what the problem was, so her head really ached.
Xiao Qian couldn’t run straight to ask Professor Liu, not only because it was the professor’s family business but also because it was related to the teacher’s deepest scar. As the teacher was finally recovering from Master and Liu Li, any reference to the upsetting past of Lone Wolf and the insurance money would be a waste of Yu Minglang’s effort and spoil the therapeutic experience he had built for Master and Liu Li.
Therefore, Xiao Qian thought of a good idea.
She went to Professor Liu’s house directly. Professor Liu wasn’t home, and Liu Li was alone. When he heard the doorbell, he dragged his heavy body to open the door.
“Oh, it’s Sister Qian.”
“Hmm, what happened to you?” Xiao Qian thought she was already walking with an inward angle, but Liu Li looked even worse, like he had a constant backache.
“I originally planned to work, but I felt too tired because of last night’s work. I’ve been lying down all day. Sister Qian, are you here to see my mom?”
Liu Li looked really exhausted.
“Hmm.”
“Wait here then. I’ll make some tea for you.”
“Thanks.”
Xiao Qian looked around and her eyes landed on something in the living room. She noticed a stitched puppy doll on the teacher’s TV cabinet. She had seen this thing at Hu Meijing’s house. Hu Meijing seemed to have a habit of handcrafting and every time Xiao Qian visited, she could see the needle and thread on Hu Meijing’s sofa.
“Xiao Li, is that doll made by your sister Meijing?”
Liu Li looked over where Xiao Qian pointed and nodded, “Yes.”
Xiao Qian walked over, picked it up, and squeezed it in her hand. It was more like a cartoon wolf than a dog. The doll had special eyes made with buttons and looked very cute.
“Does your sister Meijing visit your home very often?”
“Yes, she comes every time she’s off work. Sometimes she chats with my mom for a long time. She cooks delicious food.”
“Oh, really? Not every ordinary person can chat with a teacher.” Xiao Qian intentionally tried to get more information from Liu Li.
This child was young and not very scheming. It should not be difficult to extract valuable information from him.
Sure enough, Liu Li started to talk.
“Yes, who could put up with my mom’s temper? Sometimes she got angry with my sister Meijing. I felt uncomfortable just listening to them. It’s really hard for my sister Meijing that she didn’t get angry with my mom and still called her as her godmother.”
“What made teacher angry at her?”
“Sometimes it was about work. My sister Meijing is very gentle. To put it bluntly, she is too honest and often bullied at her workplace. Her colleagues often swapped shifts with her, and sometimes she was assigned the badly behaved children. This made her very tired every day. Every time my mom saw this, she would give her a lecture. One time she was so stressed that she wanted to go to the kindergarten to argue with the principal.”
It sounded quite normal because the teacher did pay too much attention to this woman. It seemed like a typical case of expecting more from the ones you favor. Professor Liu was just this kind of person; the more she liked someone, the more she criticized them. When she was irritated with Xiao Qian, she could even lay hands on her. It seemed like the teacher didn’t hold much grudge against this woman.
This didn’t look like a conspiracy theory… Xiao Qian decided to explore from a different angle.
“Xiao Li, I saw your brother’s teammate Rong Yuan a few days ago. He often remembers you.”
“Ah, you mean Brother Zeng. He mails me toys every quarter. I told him that I already started working and don’t play with Transformers anymore, so he started mailing me clothes. A few days ago, he even mailed a box of fruits to my mom, saying it was a specialty from his hometown.”
After Rong Yuan left Yu Minglang, he returned to his hometown and became a lawyer. He never forgot about his good friend and often sent things to him.
“Yes, Rong Yuan also told me that in the blink of an eye, you have become a grown-up and should find a girlfriend. He didn’t enjoy your brother’s wedding sweets, but he wants to enjoy yours.”
“Ah, my brother…”. Thinking of his brother, Liu Li also felt very sad.
“If he hadn’t gotten into trouble, I bet I would be an uncle by now. When he got engaged, I was about to take the high school entrance exam. My mom sent me to a private boarding school so I couldn’t make it back home. I heard that the woman he married had a very bad temper and often threw tantrums. My brother always gave in to her. If she were as gentle as my sister Meijing, perhaps he wouldn’t have become so distracted by his work…”
