Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 574 He Left with Lin Xiang_1

Not long after, Second Brother came back. It was Mother Qi who called him to return. He had not come home since leaving the hotel that day. Seeing Lin Xiang sitting on the sofa, Second Brother’s gaze turned cold. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Lin Xiang looked at him, "Second Brother..."

"Who allowed you to be here?" Although he had been kind to Lin Xiang before, at this moment, his loathing for her reached its peak. Even an extra glance at her made him feel nauseated.

"Lin Xiang said that you and she... that night... is it true?" Mother Qi was now more concerned about this and wanted to know what Second Brother thought, as his attitude would determine how the matter developed.

Second Brother said, "Yes."

Seeing his confirmation, Mother Qi sighed helplessly and said to him, "You should go and see Shi Xuan first. She already knows about it."

Second Brother’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but take another look at Lin Xiang. He knew that she must have revealed the matter.

He walked out the door and headed straight home.

The bedroom lights were off, the curtains were closed, making the room very dark. Second Sister-in-law was huddled on the sofa, pulling at her hair. Her usually meticulous updo was now a mess. The mere thought of Second Brother sleeping with another woman was intolerable to her!

But she knew Lin Xiang wouldn’t lie, much less bring fabricated nonsense to Mother Qi. Hence, Second Brother really had touched Lin Xiang!

Of all people, it had to be Lin Xiang. How ironic... the despicable woman who fawned upon her every day and pretended to be on the same side had stolen her man!

Second Brother pushed the door open and turned on the light. Seeing Second Sister-in-law crouched there, he felt even more ashamed. He had not come home these past few days because he felt unworthy of facing her.

Now, seeing her so battered on the sofa, his heart ached to the extreme.

He had wanted to forget what had happened, to pretend it never occurred. But he couldn’t escape the guilt in his heart.

What’s more, Second Sister-in-law already knew.

She had always been intolerant of the slightest pebble in her shoe, so he had never thought of betraying her all these years.

But now...

Regardless of the excuses, he had ultimately done something that betrayed their marriage.

He walked in and looked at Second Sister-in-law, saying, "I’m sorry."

Second Sister-in-law lifted her head, her brows furrowed, her eyes brimming with tears, "Why apologize?"

Second Brother said, "I’ll talk to a lawyer about the divorce. Grandpa’s matter will also be handled well. Anything you want from home, I will give you."

"Divorce?" Second Sister-in-law’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t believe that after knowing about this, Second Brother would bring up divorce!

He slept with Lin Xiang, and now he wanted a divorce...

So, he was really tired of her!

She stood up in disbelief, staring at Second Brother, "So you really want to be with Lin Xiang?"

Second Brother pressed his lips together, "Shi Xuan, I’m sorry."

"Is ’sorry’ enough?" Second Sister-in-law gripped his lapel, her voice hoarse, "Is one ’sorry’ enough? After all these years we’ve been together, all it amounts to is one ’sorry’? What did I do wrong? Tell me, what did I do wrong? Even if I was unfair to Qi Cheng, unfair to Ji Yunhuan, I have never wronged you! In all these years, I have done nothing wrong towards you..."

She stared at Second Brother, tears falling incessantly.

She cared about Yangyang, about everything else. But none of it could outweigh her care for the man in front of her.

She had indeed been somewhat overboard before, because she knew he loved her and wouldn’t leave her easily. But now?

He actually brought up the divorce himself!

Facing her incoherent accusations, Second Brother grabbed her hand and said to her, "You did nothing wrong, the wrong is all mine! So, I will compensate you! Leaving me, you won’t lose out."

"Compensate?" Second Sister-in-law laughed bitterly, her tears mixing with her laughter, making her look even more pitiful, "Compensate? What will you compensate me with? All these years of youth, all these years of love, what will you compensate me with? Money? Or something else? Do you think I, Shi Xuan, need any of those? In this family, apart from you, what else do you think I need?"

"I’m sorry. Given the situation, I don’t want to say anything more." Leaving her was not because of Lin Xiang, but because of his irreparable guilt.

At this point, he did not want to shamelessly keep her by his side, forcing her to forgive him.

Second Brother pried her hand away and left the room, not wanting to face her pain any longer.

Watching him walk out and close the door, Second Sister-in-law fell heavily onto the sofa, her eyes blankly watching his departing figure.

This was not the first time Second Brother had left. He had left like this several times before. But in the past, Second Sister-in-law never took his emotions seriously, always thinking that no matter how he fussed, he would eventually come back. But now, he told her, "Divorce!"

A man she had loved for so many years, thinking he would never leave, finally told her, divorce!

Second Sister-in-law covered her face, tears streaming through her fingers. Everything that happened today almost broke her. She couldn’t help but recall the previous mistakes she had made...

He had reminded her many times not to dwell on matters concerning Yangyang, but she had never taken it to heart. Her eyes were only on Yangyang, on her hatred for Ji Yunhuan. She only wanted to take Yangyang back, but she forgot, if the backbone of this family was gone, what could she do?

What could she use to love Yangyang?

She could never be a successful mother.

Thinking of this, Second Sister-in-law stood up...

Still looking battered, she stumbled out the door, ran quickly and even tripped on the stairs. Thankfully, the maid caught her in time, "Madam!"

"Where is he? Where is Mr. Qi?" Second Sister-in-law asked anxiously.

"He already left." Seeing the usually glamorous and composed mistress in such a pitiful state, the maid felt a bit uncomfortable.

In the living room, Mother Qi had just finished talking to Father Qi on the phone, complaining about the recent events at home. She saw Second Sister-in-law walking in a mess, "Where is Jingyu?"

She was still wearing slippers, something she would never do on normal days.

Mother Qi looked at her with pity, "He left with Lin Xiang."

Hearing this, Second Sister-in-law’s tears fell again. She repeated to herself, "He left with Lin Xiang... He actually left with Lin Xiang... He really abandoned me..."

"Help her over," Mother Qi instructed the maid. Second Sister-in-law’s current state could only be described as miserable.
