Chapter 722 He''s My Brother


    "You are making a lot of sense! Fine, for the sake of my future nephew, I''ll do you a favor and drive my


    sister-inw home," Niles said into his phone.


    "It would be your honor to drive my woman home," Wesley said.


    Niles was shocked by his words. "Bro, how do you always have a way to piss me off?"


    "Cut the crap. Drive her back now, or I''ll beat the shit out of you when I''m back."


    "Juste back and fight me; that''s what brothers are for," Niles shrugged. He liked bantering with his


    brother.


    "Niles Li, one more word and I''ll fly back now!" Wesley said impatiently.


    "Sorry, bro. I was just kidding. Of course I''ll drive ir back home now. Please don''t get mad at me,


    okay?"


    "Now!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    Meanwhile, ir''s brain was preupied with the fact that she and Wesley were legally married. She


    no longer was in the mood to stay at the party.


    So when Niles offered to drive her back, she agreed without hesitation.


    "Miss Jing, you haven''t introduced me to this young man." Someone seemed curious about Niles''


    identity.


    ir paused for a while and was about to tell that person that Niles was her boyfriend''s brother when


    Niles cut her short. "Nice to meet you. I''m Niles Li. ir''s husband is my brother," he said with a polite


    smile.


    "Li? Niles Li? You look a lot like Wesley Li. Are you his..." Niles knew that his brother was popr but


    he didn''t expect the man to know him.


    People around them started to listen in carefully, curious to know who ir''s husband was.


    "Wesley? He is my elder brother," Niles answered proudly. "We have the same father and mother."


    "The same father and mother? Are you implying you have another brother with whom you share the


    same father but different mothers?" someone asked casually.


    Niles wasn''t pleased by his words and cast a reproachful nce at the man. "Of course not. What


    nonsense are you talking about? My dad would never do that to my mom."


    The man gave Niles an embarrassed smile and walked away.


    People around them finally found out who ir''s husband was. "Hey, apparently Miss Jing''s husband is


    Senior Colonel Li. Miss Jing...I mean, Mrs. Li, you''ve kept your private life very private indeed. If it


    weren''t for Doctor Li, we probably would have never known."


    "How lucky of you, Mrs. Li."


    The look in the eyes of the people began to change. After all, ir''s husband was the youngest senior


    colonel with a bright future ahead of him. Some of them even thought if they should curry favor with


    her.


    ir''s smile froze. ''I just found out that I''m Wesley''s wife today, same you guys, '' she thought and


    secretly rolled her eyes.


    Faking a smile, she told them, "You are ttering me. I still have some work to finish, so I''ll be leaving


    now. You guys have fun."


    "Sure, Mrs. Li. Goodbye!"


    "Mrs. Li, allow me to walk you out."


    "Mrs. Li, do you know me? We work in the samepany. I''m an assistant manager. If you have


    trouble in the future, please feel free to call me."


    "Mrs. Li..."


    ir felt mentally exhausted dealing with these people. She could only say "Thank you" repeatedly.


    She felt as if her face had gone numb from wearing that fake smile the whole time. Even Niles felt


    annoyed at one point.


    After ir told Orion that she was leaving, she and Niles left the party as soon as they could. Niles


    rubbed his ears and sighed, "They all want to butter my brother up. I shouldn''t have told them that you


    are my sister-inw. I''m sorry, ir."


    ir cast him a casual nce and said, "I guess I''m the most pathetic woman in the world. Many


    people knew that Wesley and I are married, but I didn''t know anything."


    "Maybe...Wesley had his own reasons for doing that." Niles tried tofort her.


    "His own reasons?"


    "Yeah."


    ''What reasons could those be? Marriage is no small thing, yet he had it done without my knowledge


    and consent. He didn''t even respect me enough to tell about it!''


    Niles drove ir back to the Eastern Coastal Apartments. The marriage was the only thing lingering in


    her mind. After she got out of his car, she waved her hand at him before heading into the apartment


    building.


    "Hey, you didn''t even say goodbye," Niles shouted from inside the car.


    ir turned her head and asked in confusion, "Pardon?"


    "Nothing..." Niles felt helpless.


    ''I''d better leave her alone, '' he thought.


    ir nodded and kept moving forward.


    She clearly remembered the date on the marriage license. It was just a few days after they had their


    first time.


    ''So he decided to legally marry me a few days after our first time.


    He just wanted to be responsible. But why didn''t he tell me?"


    That question kept popping up in her mind and she spent the whole night tossing and turning in bed.


    The next morning, she went to work with dark circles around her eyes.


    Two dayster, she received a delivery. It was from a cosmetic brand. She opened it and saw a new


    Perfecting Cushion. But it was not the same brand as the one Megan had destroyed. This one looked


    more expensive.


    ir was aware of this brand—a high-end cosmetic brand under the ZL Group. This one must be more


    expensive.

    She knew who had sent it to her without even thinking too much.


    If Wesley had bought it as a gift, she would have happily epted it. But he bought it to say sorry on


    behalf of Megan. This only infuriated ir even more.


    Without further dy, she called the courier guy over to have it sent back.


    Then, she sent Wesley a text message. "I received your present, but I had it returned."


    By the time Wesley saw this message, it was already evening. He opened the Taobao app and saw


    that the gift he had bought for her was refunded. And the reason was that the recipient was not


    satisfied with the item.


    He called ir''s phone, but she rejected the call and replied via text, "In a meeting."


    Wesley willingly chose not to disturb her.


    He waited until the next afternoon, but she still didn''t contact him.


    Wesley sent her another text message. "I''ve wired you some money. You can buy whatever you want."


    Then he thought it was not enough, so he added, "Megan is just a kid. Don''t take a little girl''s


    naughtiness to heart. I''ll go talk to her when I get back."


    Well, if he hadn''t sent the second message, ir might have already forgiven him. But his second


    message only added fuel to the fire.


    ir opened her bank app and saw that she had received arge sum of money. Her bnce should


    have been five figures, but now it was seven figures.


    She checked the details of transfer and found that he had wired her a million today and another million


    a long time ago.


    She thought about the date for a while and then remembered that it was the day she had that car


    ident.


    ir didn''t know about it until now.


    Annoyed, she decided to go to the bank and activate the SMS alert service. Then she would return the


    money to Wesley.


    The first thing was easy to do. But the second was not.


    She tried to ask for Wesley''s bank ount from Niles. Unexpectedly, Niles wasn''t his usual foolish self


    today. He just refused to tell her and asked her to talk to Wesley instead.


    Having no other choice, ir had to ask Wesley for his bank ount, but obviously he knew what she


    was up to. He even countered with a threat. "I am your husband and it is my duty to support the family.


    If you wire the money back, I swear I''ll go to yourpany and quit your job for you. Then, I''m going to


    ground you and ban you from going anywhere!"
