The Cherished Old Time - C197

Every word that Shang Hui said pierced Tan Yubai’s body like needles.

“Tan Yubai, if it wasn’t for Yu Meng Love, I would have killed you dozens of times over already.”

“But at least I didn’t use women.” “Since you have He Fang as your backing, I do not believe that you will need Yu Meng to find a lawyer for you and help you maintain public relations online. You do not need Yu Meng to put in all her effort to save your life, you obviously have the ability to settle this issue.”

“But you chose to hide away in the prison and let Yu Meng face the difficulties by herself. Your sole goal is to let Yu Meng know the difficulties and retreat so that she can see the true face of my Shang family and completely cut off all ties with me, right?”

This was a contest between men. Shang Hui and Tan Yubai, the two of them had the only thing in common, it was probably because their minds were calm and their shrewdness was deep inside their hearts.

They could all see through the other party’s intentions, and thus chose to remain silent after a long series of probing actions.

Right now, they had completely fallen out with one another. The only thing they were burdened with was being afraid of hurting their beloved girl.

Tan Yubai stared at Shang Hui coldly, his face was gloomy and dark as he spoke in a stern voice: “You don’t know anything.”

“I don’t need to understand.” Shang Hui and Tan Yubai were about the same size and their auras were both arrogant to the point that they were on par with each other. They looked at each other and blocked the entrance of the ward.

Since he didn’t dare to step forward, it wasn’t good for him to head back now.

“About that …” After hesitating for a long time, the poor nurse tentatively said, “You haven’t recovered yet, so you can’t pull out the syringe without permission.”

Shang Hui casually shot a glance at the nurse, and the perverted look in his eyes immediately disappeared.

The young nurse widened her eyes, turned around, and ran away.

“Get out of the way.” Shang Hui reminded Tan Yubai one last time: “Don’t meddle in other people’s business.”

“You know too much.” Tan Yubai coldly stood there, he did not have any intention of retreating.

“So what?” Shang Hui mischievously raised his brows, “If you want to kill me, then do it quickly. However, I hope that you will not let Yu Meng know about this either. Otherwise, she will hate you for the rest of her life.”

With that, Tan Yubai’s body could not help but tremble, he staggered back half a step, and taking this chance, Shang Hui directly knocked off Tan Yubai’s shoulder and left the hospital with big steps.

The depths of Tan Yubai’s eyes were pitch-black. His narrowed eyes stared in the direction that Shang Hui had left, filled with sinister and danger.

Tan Yubai had always been clear that he was not a clean person. He himself was very clear on the sins that he had committed, so he had his own distinctions in the bottom of his heart. What was what Yu Meng should know, and what was what she would never touch in her entire life.

He had used his own way to protect Yu Meng the entire time, until Shang Hui appeared, completely breaking his rules.

Shang Hui insisted on leaving, and rejected Tan Yubai’s help. Since that was the case, whether he lived or died, all of it was his own fault.

Tan Yubai immediately drove home, while Yu Meng fell asleep on the sofa. He realized that the days of him reuniting with Yu Meng were passing by very quickly, he didn’t go to the hospital to look around, and by the time he returned home, it was already dark.

She was curled up. Ever since she had come back, she had always had a strong sense of self-preservation.

Tan Yubai’s heart ached, but he could only accompany her again and again.

He walked down beside her, and for example, her skin was still so fine that it had no pores. It was tender and fair. Tan Yubai could not help but reach out to touch her, only to see her frowning.

“Shang Hui…”

In her dreams, Yu Meng mumbled the names of other men.

Tan Yubai froze, then suddenly remembered what Shang Hui had told him in the day.

Shang Hui had guessed everything. He had let Yu Meng face all the suffering by himself, and guessed that he would ignore all of it.

But no one understood that it wasn’t that Tan Yubai didn’t see it, it was that he didn’t dare to.

When she was 15 or 16 years old, Yu Meng never learned how to ride. She was laughed at by others for being retarded, so Uncle Yu asked Tan Yubai to teach Yu Meng how to ride a bicycle.

He left her far away from home, left her a bicycle, and rode straight home.

Tan Yubai left the butler to protect Yu Meng in the dark. He stood alone by the flower beds in the courtyard, staring unblinkingly in the direction of the door.

Yu Zheng watched everything from the start, he walked over from his house and patted Tan Yubai’s shoulders.

“Since you’re so worried, why don’t you go find her?”

That year, Tan Yubai had already passed the age of an adult, and could see how much Yu Meng relied on him.

Yu Zheng’s words made Tan Yubai sigh, she lowered her eyelids, and spoke with a heavy tone: “I was just afraid that she would be soft-hearted, and not everything will be settled by her running into my arms and acting like a wail and acting like a spoiled child.”

He had been too indulgent with her, and in all the little things that were not worth mentioning, he had inadvertently given her all his concessions.

That day, Yu Meng only returned home late in the night. She rode her bicycle, her entire body covered with injuries, while Tan Yubai stood in the courtyard pretending not to care.

However, when he applied medicine to her wound, he was clearly about to bite his lips open.

‘s heart ached even when she was young. Now, she repeatedly killed him, making his heart feel as if it was being stabbed by knives.

Not only did it not break the relationship between her and Shang Hui, it had also caused them to develop feelings for each other through their tribulation.

Tan Yubai regretted that he could not make it in time, but he still needed to continue on the road.

When she woke up, she saw Tan Yubai resting with squinted eyes. She slightly moved a little and made a small sound when her clothes rubbed on the sofa, causing Tan Yubai to open his eyes.

“Did I wake you?” Yu Meng sat up from the sofa and looked up at him. Tan Yubai looked very tired.

“Nope.” Tan Yubai smiled and came over to hug Yu Meng: “I’m not asleep yet. Waiting for you to wake up for dinner. ”

Yu Meng raised her head from Tan Yubai’s embrace.

“Where’s Shang Hui? Have you seen him? ”

Tan Yubai paused for a moment, before slowly releasing Yu Meng.

“Yes.”

“Is he safe now?”

Tan Yubai’s hesitation was fleeting. It only lasted for half a second before it passed.

“He’s safe.”

Yu Meng let out a long sigh.

“That’s good.”

“Let’s eat.”

“Alright.”

It was probably because there had been too many troublesome matters in the past few days that this ordinary meal had become so precious.

“I’ll wait for you to rest for a few days. Let’s find some time to go and arrange for the remarriage.”

On the table, Tan Yubai helped Yu Meng carry a piece of pork in her bowl and said naturally.

Yu Meng was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t immediately agree. The repeated disasters had made her sensitive and cautious. Nothing was as straightforward as before, and she was a little timid and overthinking.

“But… There are still a lot of things that have yet to be resolved. ”

“What’s more important than our remarriage?”

Yu Mengmeng thought for a moment. She thought that she could say a lot of things, but when the question came to her ears, she couldn’t answer it.

Yu Meng was speechless, but Tan Yubai was satisfied. “That’s why, remarriage is our priority right now.”

“But …” Yu Meng was still hesitant, “What about Shen Nian? What about her? ”

“I have my ways.” Tan Yubai remembered his promise to Shen Nian back then, and his eyes were steady. “Little Meng, believe me, Shen Nian will never make you feel pressured again.”

Yu Meng nodded. She lowered her head and placed her chopsticks on the table, as if she was preoccupied with something.

“Yubai, I’ve always had a question for you.”

“What?”

“Why did you unlock the password on the merchant’s ring?”

Tan Yubai was startled.

“The reason you handed the ring to me was because you hated Shang Hui. As he spoke to here, Yu Meng suddenly found herself unable to speak. Her voice was stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Tan Yubai naturally knew what she wanted to say, so he indifferently helped her continue.

“You mean, you think that I intentionally gave you the ring to unlock the password, because I subconsciously wanted to use you to harm the Shang family?”

However, using that word out loud, she only didn’t understand what Tan Yubai did back then. It was just that she didn’t understand it right now.

Yu Meng did not answer, which made Tan Yubai extremely disappointed.

There was a hint of self-mockery in his voice. “Am I that despicable in your heart?”

“Of course not!” Yu Meng quickly explained, “I just don’t understand, that’s why I’m asking you …”

“I’m giving you the ring because I want to see what you choose.”

“Choice?”

“Little Meng, I really do hate Shang Hui, I don’t want to hide this from you. When he framed me and got caught, I thought it was a good opportunity for you to completely hate him.”

Tan Yubai clearly had a way to settle this matter, and let escape from the prison. However, he didn’t do so, all he did was to keep himself in the prison, between Yu Meng and Shang Hui.

All for the sake of forcing Yu Meng to hate Shang Hui a little.

“So …” Amidst the silence, Yu Meng hesitantly opened her mouth and said, “You did it on purpose, right?”

“Right.”

Tan Yubai said honestly, he did not hide anything. However, he had only confessed to Yu Meng’s question.

Everyone had something they didn’t want to tell, but not saying it didn’t mean it was a secret, nor did it mean there was any sort of concealment.

If Yu Meng had more questions, Tan Yubai would not lie to her anymore.

Yu Meng’s heart sank as she lowered her head.

She didn’t blame Tan Yubai, she only felt that the Tan Yubai who had admitted all of this was somewhat different from the Tan Yubai in her heart.

The difference between the two was hard to describe.

Yu Meng got up from her chair and walked up to the second floor by herself. She was a little tired and had a headache, as well as a weak body. Right now, she wanted to get a good night’s sleep.

Tan Yubai waited for a while, then put down his chopsticks and followed.

Yu Meng was lying on her bed when she heard a sound coming from the door of her bedroom.

“May I come in?”

“Yes.”

Tan Yubai’s sudden courtesy caused the atmosphere in the room to change.
