Ferocious Boss: Hubby, Let’s Get Married - Chapter 839

Chapter 839: I’m a B*stard If I Sell You Out

You Xi burst into sobs when he heard that. Tears streaked down his face. ‘Helping’ him basically meant torturing him. He saw You Yi rolling up his sleeves through his blurry vision. “Uncle, uncle. Wait a bit. Please wait,” he pleaded. “I’ll remember something now. I’ll remember something now…”

You Yi grabbed You Xi. “No need for that. Since you’re in such a panic, I have a way to help you remember.”

“No, no. Uncle, I really remember something. A… special incident that happened is… my-my mother took me to visit my grandma’s place when I was young. Before, she would show a bit of the necklace… Grandma would cry whenever she saw the necklace. I didn’t know better when I was younger. I thought she missed me.

“Then… then after a few times, my mother did not let me show the necklace whenever we visited. Then Grandma never cried again. I only understood later that Grandma was not crying because of me—she was crying because of the necklace. Maybe this necklace means… something special to her.”

You Xi had not wanted to reveal this. He had never told anyone about this. His mother had even warned him to never tell anyone about it, but he had no choice unless he wanted to be tortured.

There was no way he was going to wait around until his uncle tortured him to death.

Besides, he would never be able to hold out. Instead of waiting to be tortured to the brink of death before talking, it was better to just say it now. At least he would be able to reduce his whatever punishment that was forthcoming.

However, You Xi was confused internally. What was so special about this necklace? Why did Yan Qingsi ask about it, and now his uncle? Could it be that… Yan Qingsi really had some sort of connection to him?

Suicidal thoughts immediately filled You Xi when he imagined both Yan Qingsi and You Yi by his side in the future. It was too f*cking horrific.

You Yi paused for a while. “Your grandma?” he asked.

You Xi bobbed his head relentlessly. “That’s right. That’s right. My grandma.”

“Then that means this necklace… is connected to your grandma’s family, is that right?” You Xi’s almond eyes were as cold as the dead of winter.

This necklace had a connection to You Xi’s maternal grandparents. Then… the circumstances of Nie Qiuping’s birth were terrifying.

Although You Yi had deduced the truth earlier, cold sweat still slicked over his palms now that he had evidence.

“I-I-I think… so,” You Xi stuttered, trembling.

“Then when you claimed that you did not know anything at the beginning, you actually… knew a lot of things?”

“Un-uncle, they didn’t tell me anything. I really don’t know much,” You Xi protested quickly. “For all these years, I never thought that this necklace was special. The most special thing to have happened because of it was… when Yan Qingsi pushed me off the balcony after she saw it…” his voice trailed off at the end.

“Push you off a balcony? Hmph… If I were there, would you even be here now?”

“You’re right, Uncle. You’re right. She was right to push me off,” You Xi replied instantly, “She was absolutely right. I deserved to be shoved off. I deserved everything. That was me just asking for it”

“Is there anything else you didn’t mention about this necklace?”

“Nothing. There’s nothing… I’ve told you everything I know.”

“About today…” You Yi began.

“Don’t worry, Uncle. I won’t tell anyone,” You Xi immediately said wisely before You Yi could finish his sentence, “I’m a b*stard if I tell anyone. I’ll be cuckolded for my entire life when I’m married in the future.”

The corners of You Yi’s lips lifted, curling into a wicked smile. “Be a good boy if you want to live a comfortable life. Otherwise, I can make you live in a nightmare for the rest of your life!”
