Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Third Sister-in-law Is Not Pregnant

"A wild man?"

Jiu Yanchuan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Quan Jinbei, whose face was smeared with a layer of powder, and asked with great uncertainty, "The wild man you mentioned, is it him?"

Chen Shu nodded with conviction. "It’s him!"

He declared solemnly, "I just saw with my own eyes that he was fierce to my sister-in-law. Clearly, she was threatened by him! It’s all because we were not competent enough. If we hadn’t been so negligent, maybe she wouldn’t be feeling so oppressed."

Looking at Chen Shu, who was both indignant and heartbroken, Jiu Yanchuan found the situation rather indefinable.

"What’s with that expression?"

Chen Shu was taken aback by his gaze, "I’m being serious here, why are you looking at me?"

Jiu Yanchuan held his forehead, "You... you really didn’t recognize that the wild man you’re talking about is the third brother?"

"What did you say?" Chen Shu was stunned.

He looked at him in disbelief, "You mean to say..."

"Him... He... He is Jinbei?!"

Chen Shu pointed at Quan Jinbei, his face full of disillusionment.

Quan Jinbei nodded slightly.

Chen Shu: "..."

Chen Shu: "!!!"

Chen Shu was very reluctant to believe this fact.

Seeing his expression, Jiu Yanchuan also became speechless, "How many diopters is your myopia?"

"I... My eyesight is quite good." Chen Shu protested weakly, "I just... didn’t expect it!"

"Who would have thought that Jinbei would turn himself into such a mess?"

He protested discontentedly, "If I had known it was Jinbei, I definitely wouldn’t have misunderstood."

"Besides, he came walking in. If he had come in a wheelchair, I definitely would have—"

He suddenly widened his eyes mid-sentence.

"No way!" he exclaimed, staring at Quan Jinbei, "Are you really Jinbei?"

Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow, "No, I’m just a home-wrecker."

Chen Shu: "..."

He huffed angrily, "Can you blame me for recognizing the wrong person?"

Quan Jinbei smirked, "You can’t be blamed for recognizing the wrong person, but... just now, did you think it was unimportant to label me wrongly as long as I didn’t know, and we could pretend nothing happened?"

Chen Shu felt a chill in his heart and was somewhat intimidated.

He said weakly, "That’s not my fault either, who knew you would launch a surprise attack."

Quan Jinbei nodded, "If it weren’t for my surprise attack, I wouldn’t have known you were behind my back encouraging your sister-in-law to find a secret lover."

"Jinbei, that’s a bit harsh. I didn’t say that!"

"Then what did you say?"

"I..." Chen Shu said guiltily, "I had no choice, did I? Considering the condition of your body... wait a minute!"

He suddenly came to his senses again.

Things weren’t supposed to be like this.

Wasn’t Jinbei always in a wheelchair?

How come he just got up and ran out?

Thinking of this, he said excitedly, "Jinbei, you’re better?!"

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Suddenly worried about his intelligence.

Chen Shu said excitedly to Jiu Yanchuan, "Jinbei just walked in on his own, he’s better!"

"I know." Jiu Yanchuan said calmly.

Chen Shu: "???"

After a moment of bafflement, he became sullen, "You knew? How did you know? If you knew, why didn’t you tell me?"

Jiu Yanchuan looked at him like he was an idiot, "I thought you knew too once I found out."

Chen Shu: "..."

Jiu Yanchuan: "I didn’t expect that not only do you not know, but you even tried to cover for his wife’s little lover right in front of Third Brother."

Feeling like he was being publicly executed just from hearing these words, Chen Shu quivered.

"Enough, enough, I don’t want to hear this kind of talk!"

"Heh," Jiu Yanchuan chuckled softly, "Is it now a matter of what you want to hear? You should think about how to make Third Brother cool off."

Chen Shu looked eagerly toward Quan Jinbei: "Brother Jinbei~"

Quan Jinbei: "You want me to forgive you?"

"Uh-huh!"

"I can."

"Brother Jinbei, I knew you were the best!"

Chen Shu spoke excitedly, only to hear Quan Jinbei add slowly: "I can forgive you, but there’s something you need to do."

"What is it?" Chen Shu declared, patting his chest: "Whatever Brother Jinbei needs, I won’t shirk!"

Quan Jinbei’s lips curved slightly, he looked deeply at him, and then said: "It’s nothing difficult, it’ll just require a bit more of your time."

His curiosity piqued, Chen Shu asked, "What exactly is it?"

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant. It’s likely the old man will want me to take her back home. When the time comes, you’ll handle the old man with the check-up."

After hearing this, Chen Shu mumbled in a daze: "The little sister-in-law is pregnant? Congrats, Brother Jinbei!"

Having said that, he found it unbelievable, "But weren’t all the previous test results..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his attention abruptly turning back, "Brother Jinbei, are you sure... the child is yours?"

Meeting his questioning gaze, Shi Yaoguang expressed a cold smirk, "Congratulations on guessing correctly—the child I’m carrying is not his."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu’s eyes went wide.

"What did you say?"

Without any expression, Shi Yaoguang repeated, "I said, the child I’m carrying is not your Brother Jinbei’s."

Chen Shu inhaled sharply.

Looking at his expression, Shi Yaoguang sneered, "What, your Brother Jinbei doesn’t mind, but you do?"

Chen Shu cautiously observed Quan Jinbei, and seeing he remained silent, she dared not say anything, merely mumbling: "If Brother Jinbei has no objections, what objections could I possibly have, right... Brother Jinbei?"

With that, he added, thinking himself clever: "Actually, I also dislike Quan Sicheng that brat. It’s good for Brother Jinbei to be open-minded and raise a new heir from a young age."

"Heh heh."

What responded to him was Quan Jinbei’s cold chuckle.

At this, Chen Shu was thoroughly confused.

What exactly does Brother Jinbei mean?

Had he said something wrong?

Or had he misunderstood?

Perhaps Brother Jinbei didn’t mean that?

Dwelling on it, his face had already contorted into a bitterly frowning shape: "Could it be I’ve misunderstood again?"

Looking at his bewildered expression, Quan Jinbei chuckled coldly once more.

Seeing Chen Shu acting so foolish, unaware of when he had stepped on a landmine, Jiu Yanchuan couldn’t help but facepalm: "Are you really that stupid, or are you just pretending?"

"I... I’m really that stupid."

As much as Chen Shu didn’t want to admit it, he had no choice but to accept the truth.

Seeing this, Jiu Yanchuan had no choice but to explain for him: "What Third Brother means is, he wants you to help concoct a false proof."

"A false proof?"

Chen Shu still didn’t quite understand.

Jiu Yanchuan, palm against his forehead, had no choice but to break it down further, explaining in painstaking detail.

"Your Third Sister-in-law is not pregnant."

Chen Shu: "!!!"

Slapping his thigh in realization, he blurted out: "That’s it! I knew Brother Jinbei wouldn’t just allow himself to be cuckolded."

Giving him a sidelong glare, Quan Jinbei was thoroughly disgusted.
