Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 208: Did You Two Break Up?

It probably was because he got a beating during the day, that Xie Qingci felt the opportunity had come, so in the evening Yu Xia received over a dozen missed calls and thirty or forty messages.

She ignored them and answered a video call from little Yu Yue.

As soon as the call connected, a giant face filled the screen, startling her.

"Auntie! I miss you so much!"

She smiled warmly, "Auntie misses you too."

"Auntie, if you miss me, then save me! My dad wants to kill me!"

"...What have you done this time?" She guessed, "Didn’t finish your language homework? Got called by the language teacher to your parents? Or are you two-timing again?"

Yu Yue replied hesitantly, "I, I brought Yunyun home today, to do homework."

Her eyebrows raised in surprise, "Yu Yue, you’ve really got guts! So young and already bringing your girlfriend home to meet your parents!"

"I’m not! I just wanted to share my cookies with her! And show her our skateboards!"

Ah, the typical friendship of kids.

Yu Xia asked, "Then why does your dad want to kill you?"

"Because... because," he scratched his face, cheeks flushing red, "it’s just, she... hey hey hey! Dad!"

At that moment, Yu Heng suddenly pulled him away from behind, commandeering the phone with a serious look.

"It’s because he brought someone over without telling anyone; the girl’s mom was anxious looking everywhere and eventually came to our house to pick her up."

Yu Xia: "...Brother, having a son really means losing your dignity."

Yu Heng, still furious, kicked Yu Yue again: "Go do your homework!"

Yu Yue ran off, clutching his butt and whimpering.

She laughed uncontrollably and teased her brother, "The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, huh? You don’t have to wait until he’s twenty like you to start dating girls; he might get you a daughter-in-law by tomorrow."

"Nephews inherit from aunts, whatever you do, he will do," Yu Heng said.

Yu Xia was taken aback, eyes wide, "What does it have to do with me? I’m a good person! I’m 24 and haven’t brought anyone home under false pretenses like you guys!"

Yu Heng, with eyes identical to hers, looked at her: "Sure, you just keep them locked up to play."

"..." She coughed once, not saying anything.

Such a handsome face, yet capable of saying such cold words.

Yu Heng asked again, "What’s going on with you guys?"

"What’s going on?"

The handsome face on the screen squinted, hitting the nail on the head: "You look troubled, what’s wrong? Finally broke up?"

She pouted, "Brother, can you not say things like that right off the bat? We haven’t broken up yet."

"So it’s close."

Yu Xia rolled her eyes.

"Do you really dislike him that much?"

"It’s not that I don’t like him, it’s that you all aren’t suitable. I’ve told you before, men’s emotional maturity is generally younger than women’s. If they’re even younger, they don’t know how to take care of you."

Yu Heng took the chance to boast, "Look at me and your sister-in-law, I’m three years older than her, so naturally I understand better how to handle emotions and marriage."

"..." She had no strength to retort, could only say, "I understand the reason, but it’s impossible to live solely by reason. I know you should study hard and strive for improvement, but you don’t see anyone from our family in Tsinghua or Peking University."

Yu Heng didn’t even blink, said, "You never know, maybe there will be one."

She was taken aback, took two seconds to react, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahahaha you’re talking about Yu Yue? Hahahahahahaha!"

Yu Yue poked his head out from the bedroom door, tears in his eyes: "Auntie, you’re laughing too loudly!"

"Hahahahahahaha sorry! Hahahahaha your dad says he wants to shape you into a top student at Tsinghua or Peking University hahaha! With your language grades hahahaha!"

Yu Yue didn’t know whether his dad’s unrealistic dreams were scarier or auntie’s laughter more crushing, sobbing as he ran to find his mom.

"Mom, auntie’s too much!"

Yue Ling came out of the room, threw him to Yu Heng: "Go learn with your dad, don’t sleep until you finish that essay, pull an all-nighter."

Then she took the phone and gently asked, "Xiaxia, just finished filming?"

Yu Xia nodded: "Yeah."

Yue Ling asked again, "Your brother just said you broke up with Xie Qingci?"

"...Is this house not soundproof enough?" Also, sister-in-law, you’re too nosy.

She glanced awkwardly at the screen, whispered, "Sister-in-law, move aside so my brother can’t hear."

Yue Ling, amused, walked to the corner of the sofa and put on headphones.

"Did you guys have a fight?"

Yu Xia nodded slightly, sighed with her eyes downcast.

"We haven’t spoken since that day."

"In the same crew, see each other every day, and haven’t spoken?" Yue Ling asked in surprise.

She nodded again: "Yes."

Yue Ling looked at her worriedly: "Are you planning to break up?"

"I’ve thought about it," she fiddled with the patterns on the blanket, said softly, "but I can’t quite let go."

"What was the conflict that day?"

Talking about it made her speechless: "He thought I liked Xi Heng. Xi Heng took me home that day and got caught by him, making him even more convinced."

Yue Ling: "Didn’t you explain to him?"

"I did, he didn’t believe it, then...then we argued, and I told him to get lost."

The chaotic situation that day was obviously inconvenient to explain, and the fact he got sick with a high fever after foolishly forcing her, if her brother knew, Xie Qingci might get a harsh beating.

She continued, "I’ve been ignoring him these days, he’s been sick with a high fever for half a month, and I haven’t visited him."

Yue Ling was biased, completely not thinking she was being hard-hearted.

"Ignore him then. You explained, he didn’t listen, that’s his fault. If your brother were like this, I could throw him out. Communication is crucial in relationships; if he doesn’t listen or believe, there’s no need to shout at a deaf person."

Yu Xia, upon hearing this, thought it made a lot of sense.

She was definitely not wrong!

"Sister-in-law, you’re indispensable, there’s no wonder you could handle my brother so well."

Yue Ling smiled gently, "It’s also because your brother is willing to tolerate and love me."

She felt her teeth ache, yet also felt envious.

Her brother truly cherished his goddess, pampering her for so many years, confidently saying how much he loved her.

Even if there was a slight gap in trust between herself and her partner, she couldn’t say these words.

"So sister-in-law, what do you think I should do? Should I give up? I feel he might back down soon."

Yue Ling shook her head, speaking confidently with a soft voice:

"Then wait and see where his limits are. As a girl, if you like something, you must get it, even if you plan to let it go, don’t let it hang undecidedly, but rather discard it after you’re tired of playing."

"...That makes a lot of sense."

A strong woman indeed, what a strong woman she is. Is it really her brother pursuing the goddess all those years, or the goddess pursuing him?
