Chapter 533 Siblings' Confrontation, Sparks Fly
The first course of treatment for Su Tianxiao happened to coincide with Wen Tingye's return to China.
Wen Tingye was naturally very concerned about his sister's affairs, but his rush to get there after getting off the plane wasn't entirely for his sister, but also for the 'female doctor' who treated his sister's boyfriend.
However, when Wen Tingye arrived at the destination, Ning Yao had not yet arrived; she was said to be on her way.
Wen Qingjia, holding Su Tianxiao's hand, walked out from the side and bumped into Wen Tingye. She immediately called out, "Brother."
Wen Tingye glanced at Wen Qingjia, then his gaze moved downwards, finally settling on their clasped hands. He raised an eyebrow slightly.
As an older brother, the protective instinct towards his younger sister is innate.
"Do you have to be so lovey-dovey when you're in a relationship? Holding hands in public, as if you're afraid people won't know you're a couple?"
Wen Qingjia was taken aback when her brother said such a thing.
When she recalled her relationship with Su Tianming, the two of them basically had no physical contact, let alone be seen by Wen Tingye, so she never knew that her brother had this side to him.
"Brother, what brings you here?" Wen Qingjia quickly changed the subject with a smile, not wanting Su Tianxiao beside him to feel too awkward.
"Not welcome me? I didn't come to see you." Wen Tingye sneered, then turned his gaze to the door, as if waiting for someone.
Su Tianxiao consciously let go of Wen Qingjia's hand, not wanting to upset her future brother-in-law.
They're all family, it's only a matter of time, and he didn't want Wen Qingjia to be put in a difficult position in front of her brother.
To be honest, Su Tianxiao understood Wen Tingye quite well. If he also had a younger sister as beautiful as Wen Qingjia, he would definitely react even more strongly than Wen Tingye, wishing he could hide his sister away and not give her to any man.
With this in mind, Su Tianxiao became more tolerant of Wen Tingye's attitude.
"Miss Ning Yao hasn't arrived yet. I heard she got stuck in traffic on the way. I'll call again to ask when they'll arrive."
"No need to rush them. They can come whenever they want. Just wait patiently," Wen Tingye said coolly.
"Then I'll take Qingjia over there for a walk, brother-in-law, please go ahead." Su Tianxiao took Wen Qingjia's hand again and politely said this, knowing that Wen Tingye didn't want to see him for the time being, so he didn't want to cause trouble in front of Wen Tingye.
Wen Qingjia didn't want to leave her brother behind. Her sister-in-law hadn't arrived yet, and Wen Tingye had just returned from abroad. The siblings hadn't seen each other for quite some time, and she had some things to say to her brother.
"Then you stay here with your brother-in-law, I'll go out for a bit." Su Tianxiao tactfully left the space to Wen Tingye and his sister.
"Okay, see you later. Don't go too far, your sister-in-law will be here soon." Wen Qingjia said softly to Su Tianxiao, her tone gentle as water.
Su Tianxiao gave Wen Qingjia a reassuring smile, indicating that he didn't mind, and then turned and walked out.
In fact, Su Tianxiao was also very uneasy. He knew that his previous attitude towards Wen Qingjia had been bad and must have angered Wen Tingye.
Wen Tingye glanced at Su Tianxiao's back with annoyance, his eyes flickering with a hint of displeasure.
I just can't stand this guy surnamed Su!
Who is his brother-in-law? The matter is not even settled yet, and he is so sure that he will marry into the Wen family.
It's just dating, right?
Once his sister's current infatuation wears off, who knows if she'll break up with him and find someone else?
Haha, you little rascal, you're getting excited pretty early.
"Brother, don't be so fierce to Tianxiao. I've never seen you like this before..." Wen Qingjia said to Wen Tingye in a soft voice.
Wen Tingye looked at his younger sister in front of him. His memories of Wen Qingjia were still from when she was little. Back then, Wen Qingjia was very dependent on him and would often call him "brother" in her childish voice at home. She was very lovable.
However, as she got older, she stopped relying on him as her older brother and developed her own opinions.
Su Tianming was her first choice. Wen Tingye never thought much of the boy who was physically weak and always sickly.
As it turned out, his judgment was indeed correct. In the end, Su Tianming suffered a mental breakdown and committed suicide.
Wen Tingye never imagined that his sister would fall into the bottomless pit of the Su family again more than a decade later.
It's one thing to fail once, but to jump into the fire again the second time? Did you lose your mind after being arrested by Wen Jiabao last time?
"Shouldn't I be rude? He keeps calling me 'brother-in-law,' who gave him permission to call me that?" Wen Tingye's voice turned eight degrees colder.
"He just wants you to be happy. What else would he call you if not brother-in-law?" Wen Qingjia sighed.
"Dating such a tiny kid is fine, but don't even think about marriage."
Unexpectedly, Wen Tingye brought up the topic of marriage directly, which was exactly what Wen Qingjia was worried about.
Su Tianxiao has already proposed to her, but the two have decided to wait until she recovers from her illness before holding their wedding on an auspicious day.
She hasn't mentioned this to her family yet, thinking she'll talk about it later, one step at a time. Since her brother brought it up...
"Brother, I'm already this old. If I don't get married soon, I'll really become an old maid and no one will want me." Wen Qingjia's voice carried a hint of grievance, as if Wen Tingye were a stubborn old man who was trying to break up a couple.
“Are you afraid no one will want you? Hasn’t the Wen family given you enough money to spend? Or is it that I, as your older brother, can’t afford to support you? With my current financial situation, you can spend as much as you want, and I can support you for the rest of your life!” Wen Tingye said in a deep voice, emphasizing each word.
"But I'm human too. I need feelings too. My brother is just my brother. He can never replace the man I love." When Wen Qingjia saw that Wen Tingye really intended not to let her get married, she panicked and her tone hardened, her voice rising eight octaves.
"My brother will also start his own family in the future, right? Am I supposed to follow your family around like a third wheel every day?"
"You are my sister, Yao Yao's sister, and our child's aunt." Wen Tingye emphasized his tone, his eyes sharp and authoritative.
The implication is that Wen Qingjia is definitely not an outsider, much less a third wheel.
Wen Qingjia fell silent, her eyes beginning to redden. She gritted her teeth and stared intently at her brother.
"Do you like Su Tianxiao that much? What kind of bewitching potion did the Su family give you?" Wen Tingye gave in, his tone softening considerably.
“Being young is not a problem at all. If we’re talking about age, my sister-in-law is probably not even as old as Su Tianxiao. Brother, you don’t seem to mind, and I’ve never objected. So why is age a problem for me?” Wen Qingjia’s voice was already trembling with tears.
She had finally managed to get Su Tianxiao to accept her, but now her brother and family were against them being together.
She had overcome the most difficult times, but her closest relatives were all against her being with the man she loved.
"Men are different from women. Men can find younger partners to take care of them, but if a woman finds a younger man, it's no different from raising a son. She'll suffer a lot in the future."
"I'm a man, how could I not understand men?" Wen Tingye frowned, feeling uneasy when he realized his words had upset Wen Qingjia.
But in the end, she is Wen Tingye's own sister. If he doesn't think about her and really washes his hands of everything, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable as her brother if he saw her being wronged in the future?
