Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Wei Shuyi parked the car in the open-air parking lot and went back to look for Ah Tao. He still didn’t manage to find Ah Tao, so he went home.

The next day, Wei Shuyi went to school as usual.

In the afternoon, he received a call from his mentor and learned that Ah Tao was still not home.

He got a little angry. This brat is asking for a beating!

There were no classes in the afternoon. Wei Shuyi packed his things to go home. He picked up his bag and walked to the parking lot. Halfway there, his phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was an unknown number. He raised his eyebrows and didn’t plan to pick it up. However, the phone rang again. It seemed like the caller wouldn’t stop until he picked it up.

Wei Shuyi had no choice but to pick up the call.

As he answered the call, he opened the car door. Before he could sit down, he heard a cold female voice speaking on the phone. “Hello, this is Binjiang City’s Public Security Bureau. Are you Chen Tao’s guardian?”

Public Security Bureau…

Wei Shuyi rubbed his temples. He was exhausted.

“I’m his brother.”

“Chen Tao is suspected of taking drugs. Please come to the police station.”

Wei Shuyi wanted to hit someone.

He drove to the police station and saw Chen Tao being detained.

Wei Shuyi had not seen him for a while, and the young man was in low spirits. His hair was long and covered his entire forehead. Perhaps, it was because he did not have a good rest, but the dark circles around his eyes were very thick. He was imprisoned with his group of friends. When Chen Tao saw Wei Shuyi, he acted like a little wolf that had seen its owner. His eyes lit up, and his tail wagged.

“Brother, tell them I didn’t take drugs!”

“Really!”

Chen Tao was really wronged. His friends had dragged him to dance at a club and sing karaoke. One of his friends said he had something good to share. Although Chen Tao liked to have fun, he never touched drugs. If he did, his dad would beat him to death. He was going to leave when a group of cops broke into the club and brought them out.

After saying that, Chen Tao noticed that Wei Shuyi didn’t have much of a reaction. Chen Tao then pulled up his shirt, revealing a blackish-green footprint on his abdomen. He complained to Wei Shuyi. “Brother, these police officers are too fierce. They even kicked me!” As he spoke, Chen Tao saw a policewoman walking over from behind Wei Shuyi. His eyes immediately burned with anger. “Brother, it’s her! She kicked me!”

It’s so painful.

Wei Shuyi didn’t turn around. He stared at the black mark on Chen Tao’s abdomen and said calmly, “Come here.”

Puzzled, Chen Tao walked over and leaned against the fence.

Wei Shuyi, who had been acting as if nothing had happened, suddenly raised his leg and kicked Chen Tao in the stomach.

From the moment Wei Shuyi stepped out to the moment he retracted his foot, it was so fast that it was impossible to guard against him.

Chen Tao was kicked to the ground.

He was confused.

This development was somewhat unexpected.

Wei Shuyi’s kick was ruthless enough. He retracted his foot and spun on the ground with the tip of his foot. He coldly said, “You’re great! This is my first time entering the police station, and it’s all because of you.”

Chen Tao opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Previously, he was still arrogant and domineering, but now, he had become pitiful.

Wei Shuyi sensed that someone was behind him. He turned around and saw Jiaren Wu, who was wearing a uniform and had her hair tucked into a police cap. When he saw her, Wei Shuyi’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He didn’t expect this burly girl to be a policewoman.

“We meet again.” Jiaren Wu’s attitude was cold and aloof, just like a cool policewoman.

If Wei Shuyi had not seen her the previous night, he would have thought that she was an unattainable flower.

Unfortunately, this was a poppy flower.

He nodded. “What a coincidence,” he said neutrally.

“It’s a coincidence.”

Jiaren Wu looked at Chen Tao, who was sitting on the ground behind the iron fence. She said to Wei Shuyi, “Mr. Chen, we did a urine test on your brother. He didn’t take drugs, but he was involved in this. He is guilty of not reporting what he knew—”

“Wei.” Wei Shuyi suddenly interrupted Jiaren Wu.

Jiaren Wu was stunned.

“What?”

“My surname is Wei, not Chen.” Wei Shuyi explained.

Only then did Jiaren Wu understand that he was introducing himself. “Oh, I thought you were his real brother.”

Wei Shuyi looked disgusted. He said, “I don’t have such a useless brother.”

Hearing this, Chen Tao felt hurt.

“Can you be his guarantor?” Wei Shuyi saw that Jiaren Wu wasn’t saying anything, so he added, “If you can’t, then forget it. He needs a lesson anyway.”

Chen Tao quickly begged him, “Brother, don’t do that. Please take me out. I promise that I won’t mess around again. I won’t make you and Dad angry.”

Wei Shuyi sneered, “Ah Tao, do you believe me when I say a cow is flying in the sky?”

Stunned, Chen Tao subconsciously said, “How can a cow fly?”

Wei Shuyi said, “How can I believe your words?”

Chen Tao was speechless.

Jiaren Wu glanced at Wei Shuyi.

What a vicious brother!

“He can be taken away. I’ve seen his report, and this is his first offense. Come over here, and sign the documents.” Jiaren Wu led Wei Shuyi to make a record. Chen Tao anxiously watched them and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to be detained.

Wei Shuyi signed the document.

He walked out of the police station with Chen Tao, who was hiding behind him like a quail. When Wei Shuyi walked to the door, he realized that Jiaren Wu was still following him. He turned around and looked at her. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, “Madam, do you police officers have such good service now?” You’re even in charge of sending the guests off?

Jiaren Wu was surprised. After a moment, she regained her senses and said, “No, I only treat handsome people well.”

This time, it was Wei Shuyi’s turn to be stunned. “I didn’t expect the police in China to be so indecent.” They really know how to flirt.

He looked deeply at Jiaren Wu before leaving with the little quail.

As Jiaren Wu watched him leave, her heart skipped a beat. She tried calling his name on the tip of her tongue. “Wei, Shu, Yi…” After pondering it for a moment, she suddenly said, “Why does it sound like a eunuch’s name?”

In the car, Wei Shuyi felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned his head and looked at Chen Tao, who seemed tired. Wei Shuyi tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and said, “Do you admit your mistake?”

Chen Tao nodded.

“You’re always causing trouble for your father. How old are you?”

Wei Shuyi saw that Chen Tao’s face was filled with disdain and detest for the world. He couldn’t help but reach out and pull his soft and long hair. He comforted him, “Your dad is still young. He can’t live alone forever. You have to start a family and work in the future, so he needs someone to accompany him in the future. Your stepmother’s personality isn’t too bad. You should give her your blessings.”

Although Chen Tao understood this logic, the thought of another unfamiliar woman moving into the bedroom that his mother used to live in made his heart ache.

Wei Shuyi was silent. After a while, he said, “He might not have married her because he loved her or because he betrayed your mother. He was just lonely and wanted someone to accompany him and live with him.

“Ah Tao, I know how much Teacher loves his partner.” It was precisely because Chen Tao’s mother left this world that his teacher was too lonely. Now that he had someone to accompany him, Wei Shuyi was genuinely happy.

Ah Tao did not speak, but he still looked unhappy.

Wei Shuyi had no choice but to say a few more words. “Think about it. You’ll have to leave him sooner or later. You’ll be going to university next year. You won’t be home often. If something happens to your father, will you be able to sense it in time? Will you be able to serve him tea and water? Will you be able to cook for him every day?”

Ah Tao was speechless.

“You can’t, but your stepmother can.”

That short sentence made Ah Tao speechless.

Wei Shuyi saw that he was thinking and didn’t say anything more. His gaze stopped on Ah Tao’s hair. The more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to get a haircut.”

Chen Tao finally looked up and stared at Wei Shuyi. He whispered, “Can you give me something to eat first?”

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

He brought Chen Tao to eat and get him a haircut. Then, he asked Chen Tao to take a shower at his house and change into a clean set of clothes. It was only after that did he send him back to his teacher’s house. Initially, Chen Anyuan was still angry that his son had run away from home. He even decided to beat him up when he returned.

However, when he opened the door and saw Chen Tao’s pale face, his heart ached again.

“Get in!” he growled.

Chen Tao glanced at his father and silently entered the house.

Once he entered the room, Chen Anyuan forced an awkward and grateful smile at Wei Shuyi. “Xiao Yi, I’m sorry to have embarrassed you. It’s all thanks to you. Where did you find him?”

Wei Shuyi glanced at Chen Tao, who was obviously eavesdropping. He stood up straight and said, “A small internet cafe.”

Wei Shuyi saw that the young man’s stiff body seemed to relax, and he inwardly smiled. He’s still a child after all.

“Come in and sit.”

Wei Shuyi thought that he had nothing to do today, so he entered the house.

Chen Anyuan’s second wife was only 35 years old. When she saw Wei Shuyi, she politely nodded at him and went to prepare dinner. Chen Anyuan turned on the TV and poured a cup of tea for Wei Shuyi. He then asked, “Do you plan to teach in school?”

Wei Shuyi was stunned.

Chen Anyuan said again, “I watched you get to where you are today. Your medical skills are beyond the reach of many people your age. If you return to your original job, at my age, even I can only look up to you.” Chen Anyuan looked at his student with pity. “You can’t label yourself as a failure just because of one surgery mistake.”

Wei Shuyi fell into deep thought.

Chen Anyuan looked at him and felt sorry for him.

Wei Shuyi’s father was a renowned cardiovascular surgeon, both locally and abroad. Wei Shuyi had a close relationship with his father. His father had a big influence on him since he was young. Wei Shuyi thus developed a strong interest in medicine. When he was 15, his father had passed away in an accident. But Wei Shuyi did not collapse because of this.

When he was seventeen, Wei Shuyi was admitted to the University of Medicine and became Chen Anyuan’s disciple.

At the age of nineteen, Wei Shuyi started working as an intern with Chen Anyuan. He had watched countless surgeries and was a respected senior in the school. After graduation, due to his outstanding results, he received a clinical licensing certificate early on and entered Chen Anyuan’s hospital to become an attending physician.

However, he did not expect that when he was 26, his surgery as the chief surgeon had failed due to an accident.

The patient was a nineteen-year-old girl. Before the surgery, the young girl had smiled and told Wei Shuyi that after the surgery would be successful and she was discharged, she would go to Xi’an to see her boyfriend, who was thousands of miles away.

In the end, she got onto the operating table and never came down again.

Xi’an became a place she would never reach.

Since then, every time Wei Shuyi picked up a scalpel, his fingers would uncontrollably tremble. He knew that he could no longer become a qualified doctor, so he returned to his alma mater and became a teacher.

When Wei Shuyi recalled how he had woken up from that failed surgery, he looked into his teacher’s probing and regretful eyes. Bitterly smiling, he said, “I can’t force it. I’ll come back when I’ve overcome the hurdle in my heart.”

Hearing that, Chen Anyuan knew that he couldn’t rush it, so he stopped talking.

While they were eating, Chen Anyuan suddenly said, “Little Yi, you’re already 29.”

“Yeah.”

Wei Shuyi felt that the following topic might not be very pleasant.

Indeed…

“It’s time to fall in love.”

Wei Shuyi felt dizzy.

He said nothing.

Chen Tao said, “Dad, you’re caring too much. Brother is so good-looking and doesn’t lack money. Why are you worried about him not being able to find a girlfriend?” Chen Tao especially admired Wei Shuyi. He looked at Wei Shuyi with starry eyes and said, “If I were a girl, I would have married you. Actually, even if I were a man, I would still like you. It’s a pity that Brother isn’t interested in being gay.”

As he spoke, Chen Tao revealed a look of regret.

The other three people in the room fell silent upon hearing this.

Wei Shuyi looked at Chen Tao with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, “Even if I were gay, I wouldn’t fancy you.”

Chen Tao was speechless.

“Dad, he thinks I’m ugly!” Chen Tao glared at his father. “It’s definitely your genes that are ruining my looks!”

Chen Anyuan slammed the table. “How impudent!” Besides, is he really that ugly?

His stepmother remained silent throughout, watching the father and son fight.

After leaving his teacher’s house, Wei Shuyi had mixed feelings.

It turned out that he had also become someone who was urged to marry.
