Summer, 2002, B City.
In the Wei family's old mansion located in the city center, in a room on the far side of the second floor, the white light was dazzling. Wei Jing was lying on the bed, touching the bandages wrapped around his head with a confused expression. He … he was really reborn!!!
Wei Jing was one of the many illegitimate children of the Wei family. He was timid and had developed tear ducts. He would cry uncontrollably if he was frightened.
He could be said to be the least competitive one.
He didn't know if it was because of this, but the heir of the Wei family, his elder brother, Wei Zhe, wasn't wary of him at all. He gave him a large sum of money to squander, doted on him, and spoiled him.
However, it was this Wei Jing who stabbed Wei Zhe in the back.
This caused the company's shares to plummet. He was chased out of the house by his father and died in a car accident.
Then … then he was reborn.
Wei Jing recalled the past. His mother was Wei He's mistress and almost got married. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and died in a car accident a week before their wedding. When Wei Jing was young, Wei He also doted on him. However, after his mother died, Wei He's attitude towards him suddenly became bad. He looked at him as if he was looking at moving garbage.
Wei Jing lived in the Wei family's mansion for more than a year. Just when he thought that he would be sent away, Wei Zhe took a fancy to him and kept him by his side.
If he didn't get it at the beginning, he wouldn't have suffered so much later.
Wei Jing looked at his most respected father praising his elder brother generously. The jealousy in his heart was like a raging fire that wanted to burn everything to ashes.
— — If Big Brother can do it? Why can't I?
— — I want to be better than Big Brother and win back my father's attention.
At that time, he probably thought so. Then … he was foolishly used by others and hurt his elder brother who had always doted on him.
Closing his eyes, Wei Jing's mind instantly flashed with the man's hurt eyes that were covered by tears. He was like a lone wolf that was walking on the edge of a knife and was bitten by the person closest to him, pushing him into the hell of despair.
"I'm sorry." Wei Jing covered his eyes with his hands and curled up into a ball. Bean-sized teardrops slid down his fingers.
Wei Jing was twenty-one years old, and his household register was still with his mother's relatives. Wei He had never acknowledged him as his son.
What was he thinking in his previous life? He actually hurt his only family member for a fatherly love that he had never had before.
How could such a despicable person like her deserve Big Brother's love?
Just as Wei Jing was immersed in self-blame and unable to extricate himself, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room. He was so startled that he immediately jumped out of bed. The clear voice of a maid came from outside, telling him to go down for dinner.
The child responded in a childish voice. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash the tears off his face. Then, he opened the door and walked out.
The Wei family's old house had been built for quite some time and had been renovated several times. Walking along the corridor, it was filled with a sense of beauty that was a combination of the last century and the current century. The first floor of the old house was for the servants, the second floor was for the guest rooms, and the third floor was for the master bedroom and study. Further up, there was a gym, a game room, a home theater … There was even a man-made swimming pool.
In the beginning, Wei Jing was allowed to live on the second floor because he was small and his legs were short, so it was difficult for him to climb up. After his mother passed away, no one mentioned this matter. Wei Jing had been living on the second floor since then.
In the living room on the first floor, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Wei Zhe was wearing a decent suit and sitting upright on the main seat. Although he was young, one could already see the elegance and handsomeness that he would have in the future. Wei Jing's nose twitched. His eyes stung as he tried to hold back the tears that were about to overflow.
Wei Jing's current body was only six or seven years old. His eyes were round, his nose and lips were red, and his head was wrapped in a white bandage. Coupled with the fact that he looked like he was about to cry, he looked both pitiful and adorable.
Wei Zhe's dissatisfaction with the child for not coming down on time for dinner slightly lessened. He glanced at him coldly and said, "Hurry up."
"Yes, Big Brother." Wei Jing nodded frantically and sat down beside Wei Zhe on all fours.
After sitting down, Wei Jing looked at the maid's shocked expression and suddenly realized … he … he wasn't on good terms with Big Brother now!!! Usually, he would sit opposite Big Brother, which was the furthest seat.
Now … Wei Jing turned his head and used his eyes to secretly peek at his big brother's expressionless face.
Was he angry?
Or not?
Give me a definite answer! He was so anxious. Wei Jing was about to cry because of his own stupidity.
If it was another illegitimate child who challenged his authority like this, even if Wei Zhe didn't flare up at that time, he would definitely find a chance to punish him. But this was Wei Jing! This child was like a rabbit. He was stupid and timid every day and was destined to not have the right to inherit the family.
He believed that at this moment … he was just being stupid again.
A rabbit! With snow-white fur and big red eyes, it would hide behind its owner in fear when it saw strangers … Wei Zhe matched the scene in his mind. He looked at Wei Jing, who was staring blankly and had a blank expression on his face. It seemed quite cute to have a little pet.
"Eat!" Wei Zhe picked up a piece of carrot and placed it in the child's bowl.
Wei Jing was still in a daze. "Eh?" Was he … not angry?
Trembling with fear, Wei Jing ate the carrot. He glanced at the man and saw that he was eating the crispy pork ribs. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. A child at this age couldn't control many of his biological instincts. When Wei Zhe noticed this, he subconsciously slowed down his eating movements. Seeing the child constantly sneaking glances at him, the … evil feeling in his heart became more and more serious.
Wei Jing chewed on the bland vegetables. The sadness in his heart flowed like a river.
The Wei family's table manners were strict. The pork ribs were placed slightly far from Wei Jing. With his small arms and legs, he had to stand up from his chair if he wanted to eat.
After finishing the tasteless lunch, Wei Jing was about to go upstairs to rest when Wei Zhe stopped him.
Wei Zhe said that his father would come over at two o 'clock in the afternoon and asked him to remember to come down and greet him.
Wei Jing nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
Wei Jing more or less understood his current situation. At this time in his previous life, he was blocked by a tall classmate in the corridor of his school. He accidentally slipped and fell down from above. There was a big hole in his head and he was brought back by the Wei family to recuperate.
Today, not only would his father, Wei He, come back with his illegitimate son, Wei Min.
Wei Min was smart. He was good at studying and had a sweet tongue. He made Wei He very happy. In his previous life, Wei Min could be said to be the best out of all the illegitimate children in the Wei family.
But … but Wei Jing didn't like him.
That was because the first thing he did after coming here was to step on him and coax Wei He and Wei Zhe. In private, he even called him an idiot, an idiot, and a piece of trash … But now! He was an adult who had lived to the age of twenty-one. He couldn't possibly lose to a five-year-old child!
Wei Jing took an afternoon nap in his room and went to the living room just in time. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. There was a cup of warm water and cut fruits on the coffee table. Wei Jing obediently greeted him, "Big Brother." The other party nodded at him and didn't say anything.
That's right! Wei Jing suppressed the bitterness in his heart as he thought to himself.
Big Brother should be handsome, elegant, cold, and aloof like this. He should be like a king who had everything in his hands.
He shouldn't look sad and desperate because of his betrayal.
At this moment, Wei Jing made a decision. He had to stay far away from his big brother. He wasn't sure when he would do something that would make him sad. He also wasn't sure if he could control his hands and heart and walk down his old path again.
So … he might as well stay far away from him!
In his previous life, he got close to his big brother because he couldn't help but hug his big brother's waist and cry after being scolded by Wei Min. The two of them got to know each other better and their relationship gradually warmed up.
But … if they didn't get to know each other from the start, then … after being sent out of the Wei family mansion, he probably … wouldn't have the chance to meet his big brother again!
Just as Wei Jing was lost in his thoughts, the door to the Wei family's living room opened. Wei He, who looked very young, walked into the living room holding the hand of a delicate little boy.
"Father." Wei Zhe and Wei Jing called out in unison.
Wei He nodded gently at them, mainly Wei Zhe. He pushed the little boy forward and said, "This is Wei Min, your younger brother." He didn't make any unnecessary introductions.
The little boy was very adorable. At first glance, he looked like a little girl. He smiled shyly and looked at Wei Zhe with sparkling eyes. He said in a childish voice, "Hello, Big Brother. I'm Wei Min. I'm five years old this year."
"Mm." Wei Zhe's cold gaze swept over the little boy. His eyes were dark and gloomy.
The little boy's smile was a little stiff, but he still tried his best to smile.
Wei He took in everything. He smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He brought Wei Min here to put pressure on Wei Zhe. Whether he would become an assistant or an enemy all depended on Wei Zhe's methods. The Wei family needed a strong successor. It didn't matter even if he was an illegitimate child.
