In the spacious study, warm light shone down from above. Wei Jing sat on a small chair and looked at the language homework in front of him. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
He thought that math was too easy and that it would be difficult to pretend. After some thought, the child chose language without hesitation. It was only when he was about to start writing that he realized … his handwriting didn't match!!!
When he was in second grade, his handwriting was a long scroll. Compared to the small regular script that he had practiced … the contrast was too tragic. He didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the child was holding the pen without moving, Wei Zhe raised his eyebrows. "You don't know how to?"
"Huh?" Wei Jing smiled weakly and scratched his nose. "No … no."
The first question was to look at pinyin. He held the pen and tried hard to imitate his own handwriting. The child's hand was not as strong as an adult's, so his handwriting was naturally crooked. At first glance, there wasn't much difference. Wei Jing heaved a sigh of relief and focused on doing his homework.
Wei Zhe held a book in his hand and sat beside the child. He glanced at him from time to time.
The language homework for second grade was very simple. It was just some pinyin words and reading comprehension.
Wei Jing did it very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had flipped the page.
When Wei Zhe saw this, he couldn't help but touch his chin and say softly, "Not bad. But why do you usually take so long?"
The pen on the workbook paused. The pencil couldn't withstand the weight and broke with a crack. Wei Jing's long eyelashes fluttered. His pink lips moved as he said, "Because I reviewed in school before."
The child stuttered when he was nervous.
It was a complete case of revealing three hundred taels of silver here.
Wei Zhe chuckled. He wanted to tease the child. His fingers slid across the child's fair cheeks. "I just said it casually. Why are you so nervous?"
"I, I, I'm not nervous." Wei Jing instinctively denied it.
"Then why are you stuttering?" Wei Zhe asked.
Wei Jing pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She just looked at Wei Zhe with her big watery eyes. Her eyes were full of grievances, as if saying, "How could you bully me?"
Wei Zhe knew when to stop. "Alright, you can continue writing!"
Wei Jing had learned his lesson this time. He took out his usual speed and wrote stroke by stroke. His speed was comparable to that of a snail. It was simply painful.
When he finished writing this small unit, the child's tense body relaxed. His face also had a look of relief as he said obediently, "Big Brother, I'm done."
Wei Zhe took the workbook and checked it. He didn't find any mistakes and returned it. "Okay, go back and rest early!"
"Okay!" When he walked to the door of the study and was about to leave, the teenager added, "If you want to be with Big Brother, you can just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Wei Jing paused in his action of opening the door. He turned his head and stared at the young man in disbelief.
He had never seen such a shameless person.
His big brother's great image seemed to have collapsed at this moment.
Wei Jing's small face was sullen as he ran away in a terrified manner.
Wei Zhe was left alone in the study. He rubbed his chin. Why didn't he realize it before? This little brother was quite interesting. Oh! He could get closer to him in the future. Anyway, he wasn't a threat. He could just treat him as a pet.
When he returned to the bedroom, Wei Jing took out the things in his school bag. First, he looked at the books to see what he had learned. Then, he completed his homework according to the books.
This way, when his big brother came to look for him tomorrow, he could confidently tell him that he had finished everything and that there was nothing left.
The child smiled happily and wanted to give himself a thumbs up for his intelligence.
After a night, Wei Min had already adjusted his state of mind. The next morning, he greeted Wei Jing with a smile and even poured milk for him affectionately. This made Wei Jing wonder if the milk was poisoned.
As for Wei Zhe, Wei Min was even more affectionate. He was thick-skinned and when he was scolded, he pretended not to understand.
Wei Jing couldn't help but sigh. There was indeed a difference between people. Anyway, he couldn't do this.
Unfortunately, the more Wei Min acted like this, the more Wei Zhe was wary of him.
It didn't matter if he had a silly little brother, but if he had a brother who was shrewd, flexible, and related to him by blood … he would be a strong competitor. He would never let his guard down just because the other party was young.
Wei Jing watched the show happily from the side. However, Wei Zhe insisted on dragging him into the water and acting like a gentle big brother.
After a whole morning, the way Wei Min looked at him … was strange again. (* * □ ′) * (* ━ *)
To put it simply, it was — envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Wei Jing, who was being used as a tool, was speechless.
Forget it. Who asked him to be his big brother? Of course, he would forgive him.
Unlike the leisurely Wei Jing and Wei Min, Wei Zhe became busy in the afternoon. He began to receive lessons from a home classroom that was hired at a high price. The thirteen-year-old boy could already speak English and French fluently.
Wei Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He left Wei Min behind and went back to his room.
Rebirth was too absurd. From yesterday to today, he had met his big brother, father, and Wei Min in just two days. These three people had left a deep mark in his life. Wei Jing didn't even have time to catch his breath. He followed his big brother's footsteps blankly.
Wei Jing told himself that he couldn't continue like this.
He had picked up a new life. This time, he had to live well.
If his big brother needed him in the future, he would definitely do it. However … he couldn't be like in his previous life. He couldn't be a vine that relied on a tree to survive.
Do business? No! He didn't understand at all.
Be a celebrity? No, acting skills? That was too difficult for him.
Then, he could only … draw pictures?
Wei Jing covered his face. In his previous life, he was very interested in drawing and self-taught for a period of time. At that time, he especially liked to post all kinds of cute little mangas on Weibo. He had gathered a lot of fans. There were even publishing houses that approached him, but he rejected them.
But in this life, he could start practicing now.
He didn't want to be rich. As long as he could live a good life and be able to support himself, that would be enough. Moreover, property prices were cheap now. He could take advantage of this opportunity to earn some money and buy two storefronts. In the future, he could rent them out and earn a lot of money!
That was awesome!
Wei Jing was such a good-for-nothing person. Every day, he leisurely collected rent and drew his favorite comics. From time to time, he would go on a trip. He muddled along and relied on his interests. Such a life was so comfortable!
He really didn't know what he was thinking in the past. Why did he want to snatch his big brother's company? It wasn't easy to be the president! Every day, he would leave early and return late. From time to time, he would have to entertain the old fox at the cocktail party. Just thinking about it made him tired.
Wei Min felt very wronged, very wronged, very, very wronged.
He had already lowered himself so much, but in the end, those two people were still so cold to him. They were simply inhumane. That big brother was very annoying, and Wei Jing was even more annoying. If it weren't for him, why would big brother treat him like this?
Wei Min was also pampered by his mother. In a fit of anger, he called his mother to pick him up and said that he wanted to go home.
When Mother Wei heard this, she could only persuade him to bear with it. She said that she would pick him up after the National Day holiday.
Wei Min was unhappy. He told the woman about what had happened in the past two days. In the end, he added that his big brother hated him and would never accept him.
The woman on the other end of the line was stunned and her tone became more serious. "… Is what you said true?"
Wei Min said with certainty, "Mom, big brother doesn't even care about me. He doesn't even want to talk to me. That Wei Jing is like a slug sticking to big brother. He doesn't even give me a chance."
The woman on the other end of the line was silent for a long time. Then she said, "Mom knows. Bear with it a little longer. He doesn't want to talk to you, so you don't have to talk to him anymore. Just stay here. Mom will pick you up in a few days."
With his mother's permission, although Wei Min was still a little unhappy, he didn't dare to go against his mother's wishes. He agreed, "Okay."
Wei Min's mother was the illegitimate daughter of a small family in Shanghai. Her family had connections with both the underworld and the underworld. In order to climb up the social ladder of the Wei family, she sent her up. Because of her good looks, she was one of the more favored ones in the family. She had some status in the family.
As soon as she ended the call with her son, she immediately called her father on the other end of the line.
The two of them talked for a long time before they hung up the phone in satisfaction.
If she wanted to climb up the social ladder, she had to be ruthless.
