After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 56
The two tenderly cuddled and chatted until the sky brightened up. Only then did Shi Yunnan begin to feel drowsy.
When he woke up again, it was almost five o’clock in the afternoon.
Shi Yunnan endured the backache that hadn’t dissipated and went to take a shower. As soon as he left the bathroom door, he heard a knock on the door.
“Little Uncle!”
He could tell it was the little cutie because of the soft, sticky voice.
Shi Yunnan opened the door, and saw Little Goldfish hold up a small cake, “Little uncle, I got a reward.”
“Why did your school end early today? Did Grandpa Qin buy it for you?”
Little Goldfish protected the small cupcake with both hands and ran to the coffee table beside the lounge sofa, “I’m on holiday today. This little cake was given to me by the teacher because I performed well.”
Shi Yunnan walked to the sofa as well and casually sat down.
Little Goldfish opened the cake box, scooped a piece with the fork, and carefully and expectantly delivered it to Shi Yunnan’s mouth, “Little Uncle, ah~“
Shi Yunnan’s heart turned soft because of his cute appearance. He quickly cooperated and said, “Thank you, baby.”
“Is it delicious?” Little Goldfish asked expectantly.
“Very delicious.”
He missed breakfast and lunch because he slept in, so he was very hungry at the moment.
Shi Yunnan patted the vacant place beside him and motioned for Little Goldfish to come and sit. He picked up the small cake again and said, “Let’s share?“
“Uh-huh!”
Little Goldfish decisively handed the fork to Shi Yunnan and opened his mouth, “Ah—”
Shi Yunnan naturally wouldn’t compete with the child for food. He gave each spoonful of cake to Little Goldfish.
While eating contentedly, Little Goldfish stared sharply at the side of Shi Yunnan’s neck, “…Little uncle, why are you so red here?”
Shi Yunnan followed the direction of his fingertips and used the reflective ornaments on the coffee table to take a look, but he was suddenly speechless.
The heating was on in the room, so he casually found a low-necked thin sweater to put on. As a result, some ambiguous traces from last night were exposed, and it looked quite conspicuous.
When did Luo Lingsheng do this? How come he didn’t even know?
“Mosquito bites.” Shi Yunnan took the opportunity to feed Little Goldfish a bite of cake and changed the subject, “It will disappear in a few days.”
Little Goldfish nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly looked around the bedroom.
Shi Yunnan was afraid that he would think of something else, and quickly interrupted, “Little goldfish, what are you looking at?”
“When Uncle got up, he also said that he was bitten by many mosquitoes.”
Little Goldfish obviously believed this statement, and his eyes were searching for the mosquitoes in the room, “It’s abominable!”
“…..”
Shi Yunnan silently stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth. Well, last night was really abominable.
Little Goldfish’s attention came and went quickly. He forgot about the “mosquito” matter in a flash and remembered other interesting things to share with Shi Yunnan.
“Uncle, I discovered a secret last night.”
“What is it?”
“Yesterday, I went to get a small kettle after taking a shower, but I saw Uncle Yuan and Uncle Qin still at the dining table. You and Uncle weren’t there.“
Shi Yunnan thought about the time. It was probably after he and Luo Lingsheng went back to their room that Qin Jian came back from the bathroom.
He took a sip of water from the coffee table and looked at the little goldfish with interest, “Oh, what happened to them?”
“Uncle Yuan and Uncle Qin are very close to each other, and Uncle Yuan praised Uncle Qin…” Little Goldfish scratched his head and repeated, very seriously, “You’re very cute.”
Shi Yunnan almost choked on the water when he heard the four words in the second half of the sentence.
Last night, he saw that Yuan Meng was always being teased by Qin Jian and couldn’t fight back, so taking advantage of his drunkenness, he “taught” the other some tricks—
If he inserted such a response when Qin Jian was joking nonstop, it would definitely confuse the other party until he couldn’t tell which way was north.
Shi Yunnan thought that with Yuan Meng’s character, he would definitely forget about this trick.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left, Yuan Meng actually used it on Qin Jian.
It seemed that because he was often bullied by Qin Jian in private, he wanted to fight back when he got the chance.
“Little uncle, are you alright?” Little Goldfish handed him a tissue.
“I’m fine.” Shi Yunnan wiped his mouth with the tissue. He was afraid of corrupting the child, but he couldn’t help his curiosity, “And then?”
“Then they found me. Uncle Qin said that he was tired and wanted to go back to his room to rest, but I found that the way he walked was very strange!”
Little Goldfish ran off the sofa and imitated Qin Jian’s walking posture last night, “It’s like this—”
The left hand is matched with the left foot movement and the right hand is matched with the right foot movement, which is a unique and awkward marching posture.1
Shi Yunnan was amused by Little Goldfish’s appearance, and he asked, “Is this the little secret you said?”
“Yup.”
Little Goldfish nodded with an innocent expression on his face.
He usually thought that Uncle Qin was very smart, but he didn’t expect that the other party’s walking posture could be so funny.
“It’s okay to talk about it in front of me, you can’t ‘laugh’ at Uncle Qin Jian to his face, got it?” Shi Yunnan also didn’t lead the topic to a deeper place.
Little Goldfish responded obediently.
Not long after, there was some movement downstairs from the closed door.
Shi Yunnan glanced at the time and guessed, “It should be your uncle coming back. Why don’t you go and take a look? I’ll change first and come down later.“
“Ok!”
Little Goldfish jumped up and left the room.
His cupcakes were brought back for Shi Yunan to eat, but the certificate he received was to be shown to his uncle.
Shi Yunnan finished the remaining water in the cup. Then he found a turtleneck sweater and casually put it on and went downstairs.
At this moment, Little Goldfish eagerly begged Luo Lingsheng to praise him with the certificate he received from the kindergarten.
Butler Qin stood aside and responded with a smile.
Luo Lingsheng heard the movement on the stairs, and turned his eyes over. Then the gazes of the two immediately aligned.
Shi Yunnan remembered the unspeakable intimate contact not long ago, which somehow brought about the temperature around him, making him feel a little hot.
A trace of joy flashed in Luo Lingsheng’s eyes as he instructed the butler, “Uncle Qin, serve dinner early today.”
He had to rush to Luo’s headquarters this afternoon because he was busy with some business. Shi Yunnan was still groggy from his sleep, so he expected to be hungry when he awoke.
“Yes, patriarch.”
Uncle Qin responded and was just about to instruct the nearby servant when he heard Little Goldfish say, “That’s right, Grandpa Qin, there are mosquitoes in Uncle and Little Uncle’s room. They both got bitten last night. We have to get rid of these bad mosquitoes!“
Luo Lingsheng: “…“
Shi Yunan: “…“
Where is the need to get rid of the “mosquitoes” when the “bad” mosquitoes were just right under his nose?
The two looked at each other with a rare embarrassment of “not being able to say anything.”
When the butler caught a glimpse of the two masters’ reactions, he could mostly guess what was going on.
He smiled briefly and hurriedly picked up Little Goldfish and walked away, “Grandpa Qin will look for the electronic mosquito repellent now. Later, we can just light it up and it’ll be fine.“
Shi Yunnan went to the living room, and while no one was around, he immediately said, “Look at your good deeds. Who gave you permission to mess around with my neck? And before that, you said I led this little naughty boy astray.”
Luo Lingsheng smiled and retorted in a low voice, “Mr. Shi, are you sure you want to settle all the accounts? Not only was I bitten by a mosquito last night, but I was also scratched by a cat on the back.“
“In case Jin Yu sees it, do I have to send someone to bring a cat home?”
“…“
Shi Yunnan moved closer and defiantly bit his lover’s lower lip, “Patriarch Luo, for the sake of your s*xual well-being for the rest of your life, I advise you to give in to me.”
Luo Lingsheng clasped the back of his head with his hand and deepened the kiss without hesitation.
Shi Yunnan instinctively cooperated with his approach and hurriedly pushed his lover away before he lost control of his reason, “Stop making trouble.”
Luo Lingsheng stared at him with a smile, “What are you panicking about? No one’s here except you and me.“
The eyes of the two were glued together again.
Shi Yunnan remembered that Luo Lingsheng had lost his restraint during the second half of last night, and suddenly had a subtle illusion—
It was all thanks to the inconvenience of the other party’s legs.
Otherwise, he was very likely to be eaten clean by this person on the first day he entered the Luo family.
“Patriarch, Mr. Shi, dinner is ready.”
The butler’s voice came from not far away, interrupting Shi Yunnan’s thoughts.
He took the initiative to push Luo Lingsheng’s wheelchair and murmured, “I’m really hungry today.”
“Eat more later.”
“Ok.”
Forty minutes later, the family finished their meal as usual.
Before Shi Yunnan could get up, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took out his phone and saw that it was Fu Ziyu’s incoming call.
Shi Yunnan looked at Luo Lingsheng and picked up the phone in front of him.
“Hello, Ziyu?”
“Yunnan, why did you just answer the phone? Didn’t you see the WeChat I sent you?“
His friend’s voice was indescribably urgent, and Shi Yunnan realized that something was wrong.
“What’s the matter? The phone is on vibration mode and I was eating just now, so I didn’t see your message.”
“I’ll send you the hospital address. You’d better come over quickly! Your brother had an accident and is still unconscious. He’s having an IV drop right now.“
“What?” Shi Yunnan was so frightened that he abruptly jumped up.
The porcelain bowl on the table was accidentally pushed by him, making a slight banging sound.
“Okay, I’ll go there right away. You hurry up and send me the address!” Shi Yunnan quickly hung up the phone.
Luo Lingsheng naturally saw Shi Yunnan’s panic and grabbed his wrist, “Calm down, what happened?”
Shi Yunnan reluctantly stabilized his mind, “Ziyu said on the phone that my brother was in the hospital and is still on drips. I have to hurry up and take a look.“
“Something happened to Mr. Wen?” Luo Ling Sheng wrinkled his brow and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Qin Jian immediately joined in, “Patriarch, I’m going to bring the car over. The temperature is low at night. Mr. Shi should put on a thick jacket before going.”
Luo Lingsheng nodded.
Shi Yunnan knew that he couldn’t be in a rush, so he nodded.

Fun fact: We usually swing our arms in the opposite direction to our legs when we walk to counterbalance, and it’s just natural that way. Walking with arms moving in tandem with your steps is possible, but it’s incredibly awkward and tiring.
In less than half an hour, Shi Yunnan and others arrived at the Central Hospital. Fu Ziyu learned the news and waited for them at the door in advance.
“Ziyu, what’s going on?”
Because it wasn’t clear over the phone, when they met in person, Fu Zixian took the initiative to explain without waiting for Shi Yunnan to speak.
“Yunnan, don’t worry, nothing serious happened to your brother.”
“I heard from the waiter that your brother came to our nightclub just before the opening time this afternoon.”
There was no reason to push the guests out, so the waiter arranged a remote booth corner for him according to Wen Yibei’s wishes.
“Your brother shouldn’t know much about alcohol, so he just pointed to the strongest whisky on the wine list, and added two or three more bottles midway.”
“He’s not someone who can handle alcohol.” Shi Yunnan’s brows did not relax.
Fu Ziyu nodded slightly.
As the owner, he routinely went to the nightclub for an hour or two every day.
Today he had just arrived when he heard the waiter say that a guest on the second floor was drunk and vomited to death.
Fu Ziyu was afraid that a guest would have an accident in his nightclub, so he went upstairs to check the situation, but found out that the other party was actually Wen Yibei.
Wen Yibei’s neck was flushed red because of the alcohol, but his face was pale and his hands were covering his stomach.
Fu Ziyu said, “If something happened to your brother in our nightclub, you would have flayed and swallowed me alive, so I quickly brought him to the hospital.”
Because of the urgency of the matter, he could only send a WeChat to Shi Yunnan first, but the other party didn’t see nor reply.
“Your brother just drank too much alcohol and hurt his stomach. Everything else is fine. I’d already opened a separate VIP ward for him. The doctor said that he should avoid spicy food for around half a month, and he would be fine after recuperating for a while.“
Shi Yunnan was puzzled. “He doesn’t know how to drink, so how could he go to the nightclub where he usually hates the most?”
Fu Ziyu shook his head and continued to pick out the key points and said, “Your brother woke up for a short while halfway and still had some clarity left. He remembered that I was your friend, so he asked me to keep it a secret from you.“
However, Fu Ziyu still called and informed Shi Yunnan.
“Secret?”
Shi Yunnan was angry and anxious when he heard this word.
Luo Lingsheng stroked the back of his hand with his finges. Knowing that the relationship between the two brothers had always been good, he said, “With Mr. Wen’s nature, he should be afraid of you worrying.”
Shi Yunnan’s eyebrows still didn’t relax, “If he was really afraid of me worrying, he shouldn’t have run to the nightclub to drink without telling me.”
The elevator stopped on the twenty-fourth floor.
The group was led out by Fu Ziyu.
In the ward, Wen Yibei was still asleep, but his face was still pale, and occasionally he showed a very painful and unsettled look.
As Shi Yunnan was here, the big stone in Fu Ziyu’s heart quietly fell to the ground. He said, “Sit down first. I’ll go to the restaurant near the hospital to buy some stomach-nourishing white porridge, and I’ll have a meal myself as well.”
Shi Yunnan nodded slightly, “Ziyu, I’ve troubled you this time.”
“What trouble? We’re friends.” Fu Ziyu glanced at Wen Yibei again, and then quickly left the ward.
Luo Lingsheng controlled the wheelchair to get closer to the hospital bed. His eyebrows twisted when he saw Wen Yibei’s comatose state.
“I guess Mr. Wen won’t be able to wake up for a while.”
“I’m going to stay here with my brother tonight.” Shi Yunnan had made up his mind and said, “Don’t waste your time here with me. Why don’t you go back first?”
“I’m not tired. I’ll wait with you.”
Luo Lingsheng knew what his lover was worrying about and said, “Don’t worry. Let’s wait until Mr. Wen wakes up to ask for clarification.“
“Ok.”
…
Time passed minute by minute.
Before dawn, when Shi Yunnan was flooded with sleepiness, the person on the hospital bed suddenly moved, “Mom…”
A very light and distressing cry instantly sobered Shi Yunnan up.
He leaned over to check Wen Yibei’s state, “Brother?”
Wen Yibei kept on murmuring in his sleep. His eyelids struggled for a long time before they suddenly lifted up. His eyes were red and bloodshot as he stared at the person who appeared beside the bed.
“Brother, I’m Yunnan. How are you doing? Is your stomach still uncomfortable?“
Seeing this situation, Luo Lingsheng silently pressed the bell on the bedside to call for a doctor.
…
Five minutes later,
The medical staff confirmed that Wen Yibei was okay.
Seeing this, Luo Lingsheng simply followed them out of the ward, leaving a separate space for the two brothers.
Wen Yibei had already recovered from the dazed state at the beginning and said apologetically, “I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.”
“Don’t even think about it. That nightclub is invested in by me.” Shi Yunnan felt a little angry and laughable, “Are you hungry? Fu Ziyu just brought you porridge. The thermos should still be warm at this moment.“
Wen Yibei weakly said,”… No.”
“Brother, what happened to you?”
Shi Yunnan understood his brother’s temperament. He can usually endure anything, but this time he definitely met with a big event that he couldn’t handle.
He thought about it for a while and said cautiously, “I just heard you calling… mom.”
“…“
As soon as the word was mentioned, Wen Yibei’s eyes quickly filled with water.
He took a deep breath that he could hardly restrain, and the hand with the needle tube almost crushed and tore the quilt.
Shi Yunnan quickly stroked the back of his hand, and his mind became nervous. “Brother, what happened? Did you hear any strange rumors?“
It had been almost twenty years since their mother passed away, and the only thing that could make Wen Yibei have such big emotional ups and downs was probably the past.
Wen Yibei braced himself to get up and opened his mouth, “The fact that old man Shi is biased toward Xie Keyue isn’t anything new. You should know how Xie Keyue’s identity is spread to the outsiders, right?”
“I know. What rumor could there be?“
Shi Yunnan calmly replied while pouring him a glass of water, “It’s nothing more than the rumor that Xie Keyue is Shi Sheng’s illegitimate son. That’s why old man Shi is so partial to this little grandson.”
Until now, Shi Yunnan has been reluctant to call them ‘Dad’ and ‘Grandpa’.
Wen Yibei took the water glass, laughing while shaking his head, “I never wanted to believe it before.”
For one thing, old man Shi had never publicly acknowledged this matter.
Second, although they had a bad relationship with Shi Sheng over the years, the latter only married Xie Wei after the death of their mother, Wen Min. He did what a “good father” should do.
“It’s a fact, even if you don’t want to believe it.” Shi Yunnan stated.
He had completely confirmed the authenticity of this matter since the shitty breakfast game that day—Shi Sheng was the one who cheated on his wife and had Xie Keyue with Xie Wei after they had rekindled their old love affair!
Old man Shi was reluctant to admit it because he was stereotypical and selfish to the bone. Something like his son cheating in marriage was a disgraceful matter, and he didn’t want to lose face.
Although this disingenuous approach was ridiculous, it’s better to subtly let everyone accept this fact rather than directly admitting it and letting the Shi family become a laughing stock.
“I think the old man really didn’t take Xie Keyue seriously at first, but at that time you were brought back to Wen’s house by grandpa, and he didn’t like me very much, so he was willing to take Xie Keyue, this stray bloodline, back.”
Shi Yunnan sighed and continued, “Do you still not know what kind of people those mother and son, Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, are? They can turn black into white.“
Old man Shi was someone who liked to hear pleasant words, which is exactly what those two are good at.
Shi Yunnan said, “Mom has been gone for so long, as long as she…”
“Mom knew about Shi Sheng and Xie Wei before she died, and she also knew about Xie Keyue’s existence.” Wen Yibei interrupted.
His words were uttered through gritted teeth, “This matter was also used by Xie Wei as a badge of honor to show off and even flaunted in front of Mom back then.”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes suddenly sank: “Brother, are you sure?”
“I went to the restaurant with my band friends yesterday afternoon, and I accidentally met Xie Wei and her friend, who were also there for dinner. They mentioned this in a few words.“
Wen Yibei recognized Xie Wei, so he listened attentively for a while.
Even though the conversation between Xie Wei and her friend never involved names, Wen Yibei can connect some details together.
“Did you go up and argue with Xie Wei?” Shi Yunnan asked in a deep voice.
Wen Yibei nodded and shook his head again, “No, before I rushed up, I heard one more thing.”
Perhaps twins can really sense each other, because Shi Yunnan already felt a burst of suppressed and unexplained anger before Wen Yibei could say anything.
“What was it?”
“Mom’s last phone call before her death was to Shi Sheng…”
Shi Yunnan nodded silently.
Wen Min, who suffered a heart attack, fell to the ground and couldn’t call for help. She made a phone call when her life was at stake. If Shi Sheng had answered and notified his subordinates, she might have had some chance of survival.
Because of this, the Shi and Wen families had a quarrel.
Wen Yibei was holding back the tears in his eyes. Each and every word that was accompanied by his suppressed cry was like a needle stabbing his heart. “Shi Sheng didn’t tell anyone that he was with Xie Wei at the time. Xie Wei was the one who hung up the phone.“
“…“
Shi Yunnan’s face instantly sank. The anger and hatred in his heart swept over him, almost devouring him completely.
This matter involved his deceased mother, so how could Wen Yibei as the son tolerate it? He immediately rushed up to confront Xie Wei.
Xie Wei didn’t expect him to be here, and she didn’t expect the other party to hear the casual private conversation between her and her friend, but after a moment of panic, she denied it, and on the contrary, she kept yelling—
“Wen Yibei, don’t sling mud at people.”
“Your mother died of a heart attack for so long, and you still want to blame me?”
“You two brothers are more wasteful than one another! Even if Wen Min was still alive now, she would still have to die from anger!“
“The old man likes our family Keyue. That’s because he has the ability! By the way, after the new year, our Keyue will officially start managing the Shi company. By then, there will be even less for you and your brother… “
“You guys yourselves are useless, and you blame others for being brilliant. What kind of reasoning is that?”
Wen Yibei’s temperament was more like Wen Min’s, and he rarely argued with others.
In public, how could he be a match for Xie Wei’s explicit mockery?
Wen Yibei originally wanted to hold on to his dignity as an older brother and hide it from Shi Yunnan, but unfortunately, his mind was too sensitive, and after he suppressed it to a certain level, he still couldn’t conceal it.
Wen Yibei tightly clutched the water glass in his hand and took a deep, trembling breath. “Yunnan, I can’t take this anger lying down.”
Shi Sheng’s infidelity has become an established fact, and no one can change it.
At first, Wen Yibei originally thought that it would be fine as long as his mother didn’t know this before she died; at least she passed away under the impression that “her husband and her two children loved her dearly,” but now everything has changed.
“I can’t swallow the thought that our mom knew her marriage had been betrayed before she died, and Xie Wei hung up on her last phone call!”
“On what basis can Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, mother and son, still enjoy everything in peace and quiet?”
As Wen Yibei said this, there was another earth-shaking throbbing pain in his stomach, and his complexion, which finally had some color, immediately turned as white as paper again.
“Brother, I know.”
Shi Yunnan hurriedly helped him to smooth his breath, but the bottom of his eyes were full of a rare maliciousness, “Trust me, they’re not going to have a good time.”
“The more that mother and son want something, the less I will let them get it!”
Shi Yunnan didn’t care about the Shi family’s scrapped inheritance and assets, nor did Wen Yibei, but even so, they must not let Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, the mother and son, get away for nothing!
Whether it was old man Shi or Shi Sheng, the so-called blood relationship no longer mattered.
Shi Yunnan didn’t clear things up because the time had not yet come. Now it was time to settle accounts.
Everyone in that stinking ditch of the Shi family will have to pay the corresponding price for what they have done!
