However, Xi Ji who was on the other end of the phone could not see that change.
"I'll explain this to the Third Elder Sister-in-law. She's a reasonable person and I'm sure she wouldn't misunderstand him." He was startled upon hearing Big Brother's words. The manner of speech did not match the latter's usual style.
Despite that, he did not think too much into it.
He figured this should not be too much of a problem since the two children were not Third Elder Brother's anyway.
Therefore, this matter was straightforward even if Big Brother sounded over concerned.
"That's true, Wuyou is indeed understanding, but their marriage is quite unique to begin with, so the lesser misunderstanding the better." Tang Ling went from not asking any questions to considering the matter from all points of view. This change took place within only a matter of seconds.
"Big Brother, you seem to treat the Third Elder Sister-in-law rather differently." Xi Ji was a smart man thus he quickly picked up something strange. Besides, he was also an impulsive man that spoke his mind without much consideration.
Therefore, right this instant, he posed a straightforward question, despite knowing that he probably would not get a reply, given Big Brother's personality.
In a way, he said this just to test the man without dreaming of acquiring a reply anyway.
"Yup." Unexpectedly, Tang Ling provided an even straightforward response. That one simple word said more than enough.
"..."
Xi Ji was completely stunned and at a loss for words.
Did Big Brother just admit to treating the Third Elder Sister-in-law differently?
That was the Third Elder Brother's wife. How could he...
The man's voice rang in his ear again before he could bring himself back to reality."I can do it for you if that's what you want. It suddenly occurred to me that it's not entirely a bad thing too."
Xi Ji's hand that was holding the phone trembled visibly. He almost dropped the phone. Was this Big Brother?
Big Brother had always been a decisive man of his words. He just said that was not a good idea earlier but changed his mind in less than a minute?
Right this very moment, Xi Ji highly suspected that it was not their Big Brother who was currently on the other end of the phone.
"Big Brother, is this really you?" He expressed his doubt right away. This was a serious matter after all.
"What do you think?" Tang Ling replied with another question."Alright, I'll sort it out for you, " he said with a light chuckle.
Then, he hung up the phone before Xi Ji could say anything.
The latter looked at the phone in a daze, unable to recollect himself.
What was going on?
In actuality, he was about to change his mind upon hearing Big Brother's response earlier but the latter made it so obvious that he did not want to grant him that chance.
What was going on in Big Brother's mind?
Would this decision cause any trouble to Third Elder Brother?
However, just as the other man had said earlier, the worst that could happen was that Third Elder Sister-in-law might misunderstand the situation. Therefore, he figured there was a need to explain himself to the woman before doing anything.
He also remembered that the couple was in a contract marriage thus having a misunderstanding was unnecessary.
Xi Ji did not have Chu Wuyou's contact number, thus he called Ye Lanchen instead. He was aware that the couple had gone on a business trip together. It made no difference if he called the man instead of his wife. This also gave him a chance to inform the man.
This would ensure Third Elder Brother was prepared if his mother actually caused a huge scene in the future.
