Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 421: Chapter 395: Not the End (Thanks to Melody_Chentchen’s Langya Fairy Flower +4)

“You’re lying, you clearly care a lot.” How come he hadn’t realized before that what he thought was kindness towards her had hurt her so deeply?

Seeing Dong Yi’s silence, Second Brother Yu continued to speak.

A wordless ending is not an ending.

Even if the real ending isn’t what everyone hoped for, it shouldn’t be avoidance, Xiao Qian was completely right.

“I’m sorry for hurting you last time. I felt that there were too many problems between us, but it’s not your fault; it’s mainly me.”

“You? What’s wrong with you?” In Dong Yi’s heart, he’s like a god, omnipotent, and deeply admired.

“I’m a divorced man with a child. Although my salary is stable, I don’t earn as much as businessmen. I’m not good at investment like my younger brother. I’ve sold my house, and although I still have some money, it’s only enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment. I’m also older than you. Actually, I just want to tell you that I’m not as good as you think. So we can’t be together, not because of you, but because of me. Don’t let this affect your confidence.”

It’s a record-breaking amount of words for him to say all at once. These words have been suppressed in his heart for a week, and saying them out loud is surprisingly relaxing.

“Are you really… not just humoring me?!” Dong Yi found it hard to believe when she heard his answer. Seeing Second Brother Yu’s seriousness, she asked in amazement.

“Is that how you see yourself?” If she were to analyze this with her professional expertise, it would be a severe deviation from the facts! If Second Brother Yu isn’t considered excellent, what kind of man would be?

“I made a precise judgment of myself based on the comparison with other people in my family and my ex-wife’s impression of me.”

…Does he call this precise? It’s almost diverted to an entirely wrong direction!

If it weren’t for him saying it, Dong Yi would never have imagined that a man who appears to be so remarkable to outsiders could feel so inferior.

But his inferiority is completely baseless!

“Your eldest brother is in the real estate business, and you compare your wealth with his… and you conclude that you’re poor?” How ridiculous! Comparing wealth with someone in real estate is just absurd!

“I’m not as good as my younger brother either, he’s particularly good at investing in funds.” Yu Mingyi seriously corrected her.

Youngest Brother Yu may have just joined the company and taken on a chaotic situation, but he’s been managing his finances reasonably well within the rules. Second Brother Yu is not good at it, or more precisely, he’s too lazy to try, so he’s constantly berated by Wang Xiaohong for his lack of ambition.

He rarely socializes with people outside of his workplace, so when comparing himself with just a few acquaintances, he indeed seems to be the poorest.

“But you can fly an airplane! Can your younger brother do that? You can’t make such comparisons!”

“It’s not about comparing, I love my career, and my job is not something that can be measured by money. I just feel that I may not be able to maintain a family’s expenses——”

“Wait a minute, how much is your monthly salary?” Dong Yi couldn’t stand listening any longer, her tears retreated in indignation.

“My salary is divided into several parts, and when added together, it’s less than my younger brother’s…”

“Don’t mention your younger brother, just talk about yourself!”

“As for me, apart from the basic salary, there are also flight level subsidies and flying hour subsidies. My flight level is the top level, so I get a few hundred yuan more per month. The flying hour subsidy is also the highest, tens of yuan per hour. In any case, it adds up to just a few hundred thousand a year.”

Dong Yi was dumbfounded when she heard this. Was he really not trying to show off his wealth?

When Dong Yi just started school, she struggled greatly to find a part-time job as a tutor and competed with many students. It took a lot of effort to get that precious opportunity, which paid only around 100 yuan per month, but that was enough to make other students envious and resentful.

Even full-time workers only earn a few hundred yuan a month, and that’s still the standard today. This year, many large state-owned enterprises have laid off employees, and a lot of people are desperate to find work.

And now, there’s someone with a monthly salary several times higher than that of ordinary workers, who sincerely claims that he can’t support a family. If Dong Yi didn’t know Second Brother Yu’s temperament so well, she would think he came here to show off his wealth in front of this poor girl.

“With so much salary, how can you not support a family? Did you have a lot of expenses in the past month? You’ve already bought a house, and the car is company-issued, what else can you spend money on?”

“Family expenses, Xiaohong’s mother’s family has a sick person, so I have to give her mother a 1000 yuan living allowance every month, and her younger brother is in school, sometimes entertaining relatives from the countryside, and even lending money to others, like her third uncle’s house construction, her Second Uncle’s family buying a tractor…”

“Why are you the one paying for all this?!!!” Dong Yi was on the verge of a meltdown.

This is like a bottomless pit, who could fill it up? Has Yu Mingyi really been swindled by this family like this?

“Anyway, our monthly family expenses are never enough, and I’m unwilling to switch to civil aviation.”

Second Brother Yu doesn’t manage the household. He just gives money on time every month. He hardly has any expenses at work and isn’t quite aware of how high consumption is outside. Anyway, according to Wang Xiaohong, he is a man who can’t support a family.

“Even a mountain of gold wouldn’t be enough for them to squander! This is simply a deliberate diversion of shared marital property!”

Dong Yi could particularly understand Wang Xiaohong’s mentality. She herself was from a poor background, and she had admired an outstanding man like Yu Mingyi secretly. The gap was so significant that it led to a lack of security.

When a woman feels insecure, she wants to hold on to money.

But Dong Yi wouldn’t use such a despicable method to get money. No one knows whether all those funds have been used to subsidize the Wang family, but it can be certain that they have been secretly saved by Wang Xiaohong and transferred to her family’s name.

As for Second Brother Yu, he seems very shrewd but is naive about the ways of the world. He gives as long as people ask and is brainwashed into thinking he’s poor.

A man with an annual income of hundreds of thousands, who owns several houses and a car… Do you have to be this excessive?!

Boss Qian later asked Ming Lang why no one in the Old Yu Family reminded Second Brother Yu about this matter.

The youngest brother, Yu, said that Second Brother is a very responsible man. If he dared to marry someone, he wouldn’t be wary of them. In fact, Second Brother Yu might not be unaware of where Wang Xiaohong’s money went; he was simply unwilling to expose it while enduring it. Second Brother Yu himself was like that, so Ming Lang, as his brother, naturally wouldn’t say too much. Even if they didn’t like Wang Xiaohong, the Yu family members wouldn’t meddle in other people’s marriages. They were just waiting to see when Second Brother Yu would come to his senses.

In the end, it’s a matter of one willing to hit and the other willing to endure. Outsiders’ comments are inappropriate, and only Second Brother Yu can realize it himself. As a result, he’s so honest that he never pondered the matter of money, always considering himself poor.
