By the time Wei Zhe came out of the cafe, the sky was already dark. He looked down at his watch and saw that it was 5: 21 PM.
Winter was like this. Before people could realize what was going on, they had already left in a hurry during the day like a gust of wind.
The young man hailed a taxi and went straight to the Xu family's villa. Oh! His silly little brother was still waiting for him? He was a little depressed. He didn't care about painting as a hobby, but it was too hard to make it a career.
But there was no other way. Wei Xiaojing was determined to do this.
The Xu family's villa was still the same. It hadn't changed at all since he left. The moment Wei Zhe entered, he saw his little brother sitting on the floral sofa with a rabbit-shaped cookie in his hand. On his left sat Xu Jiahui, and on his right sat Li Fei.
The two children were whispering to each other. He didn't know what they were talking about. Li Fei was eating the cookie in silence. From time to time, he would move the plate of cookies closer to Wei Jing's hand so that the child with short arms and legs could move more easily.
Wei Zhe didn't know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Why was he trying to please his little brother?
"Big Brother." The child looked up and his eyes happened to meet his big brother's gaze. His little body instinctively shrank back and then he quickly ran to Wei Zhe's side. His soft little hand held the young man's broad palm and he said in a slightly fawning manner, "Big Brother, you're back. Did you specially come to pick me up? Come, Big Brother, eat the cookie. Auntie Xu's cookies are delicious. "
Wei Zhe looked at the half-bitten rabbit-shaped cookie with saliva on the side of his mouth. "…"
Wei Jing: "…" Oh ho! It was a mistake. It was a subconscious action.
The child looked like he had nothing left to live for. He looked at his big brother pitifully and said as if his parents had died, "I … I … I didn't do it on purpose."
His habit of stuttering when he was nervous still hadn't changed. _ (: з 」 ∠) _
Just as Wei Jing was hesitating whether he should withdraw his hand, he felt a warmth on his fingertips. The child raised his head in shock. Big … Big Brother actually ate the thing that he was biting halfway?
After eating, Wei Zhe commented, "It tastes good."
Wei Jing: "…" _ (: з 」 ∠) _
"You brothers are really close." Mother Xu, who was standing beside Wei Zhe, covered her mouth and laughed. She was already in her thirties, but she took good care of herself and looked like she was in her twenties. There were a few smile lines at the corners of her eyes, but they added a bit of a mature woman's charm.
Wei Jing had a moment of realization. In his previous life, Mother Xu's hair had turned completely white before she was even 50 years old. Her face was haggard and she looked like an old woman in her sixties or seventies. Her entire body was filled with the aura of death.
His gaze shifted and subconsciously fell on Xu Jiahui.
What's the point of being a police officer? Do you want to be a doctor? How nice, a proper job, with a guaranteed safety (?? □ ′)? ((? ━)
Realizing that his idol was looking at him, Xu Jiahui flashed a silly smile. Wei Jing wanted to pinch him hard.
"It's getting late. Why don't you two stay and have a meal together?" Mother Xu said warmly. She really liked Wei Jing and Wei Zhe. One was smart and cute, and had saved her son. The other was mature and reliable, and was very good to his younger brother.
Sigh! She sighed inwardly. If only Wei Jing was a girl. Then maybe he could be together with her son in the future. How wonderful would it be to be childhood sweethearts!
Mother Xu might be old, but deep down, she was still a little princess.
"No thanks." Wei Zhe smiled and politely declined. "We still have something to do, so we won't trouble you this time. Next time!"
After the previous incident, Mother Xu realized that the young man was a very opinionated person. She could only shake her head regretfully. "You said it yourself. You're not allowed to leave next time!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mother Xu, Wei Zhe left the Xu family home with his silly younger brother.
Wei Jing took his older brother's hand and asked curiously, "What are we going to do next?"
"Of course." Wei Zhe smiled. The streetlights shone on his head, casting a golden glow on his figure. "We're going to buy something you want."
Wei Jing's heart skipped a beat. He blinked and played dumb. "What do I want?"
"Little liar." The young man reached out and pinched the child's white nose. His voice was affectionate. "Who was the one who couldn't even bear to blink when looking at that thing at the Xu family home?" He bent down and looked into the child's eyes. "We agreed before that if you want something, just tell me. Don't hold back. Tell me, aren't you a little liar? "
Wei Jing felt like … he wanted to cry.
Not because he was sad, but because he was too happy.
So Big Brother had been watching him all this time? So Big Brother had always known what he wanted?
Wei Jing took a deep breath and held the young man's broad hand tightly. He mustered his courage and said, "I'm stupid. I can't tell what Big Brother wants. But if you want something, you have to tell me. I … I'll do my best to satisfy Big Brother."
"Okay."
The warm atmosphere lasted less than half an hour.
Wei Jing stared at the high-end toy store in front of him, dumbfounded. Big Brother … did he misunderstand something? Kneel down!
"What? You don't like it? " Wei Zhe frowned. After scanning the store, he picked up a remote-controlled racing car. It had a black and red body with smooth lines. The windows could even be manually opened. It was obviously expensive. He looked at it for two seconds and said with certainty, "This is the same model as the one in the Xu family."
Wei Jing racked his brains and finally found the structure of the Xu family from his memory. The house was decorated by about three people. In addition to the obvious female favorites, there were paintings by Father Xu and Xu Jiahui's … toys.
Wei Jing felt complicated after being coaxed like a child. But it wasn't strange that his big brother misunderstood. After all, his body was that of a child _ (: з 」 ∠) _.
Under the young man's puzzled gaze, the child broke into a big smile. He rushed over and hugged the young man's thin waist. He said happily, "Big Brother, you're the best. I like you so much. I like you the most."
No matter what, this was his big brother's kindness. How could he refuse?
Wei Zhe bought many of the child's favorite toys in one go. The two of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
When they returned to the apartment, it was dark inside.
Wei Zhe rubbed his chin and thought about where to find a reliable driver. It was too troublesome to take a taxi.
***
On the other hand, Wei He had rushed to City A early in the morning. Ever since the negotiation with Wei Zhe a few days ago, he had asked his men to investigate the plot of land near Xiyan Road in City A. However, no matter how hard they tried to investigate it, it was useless. However, no matter how hard they tried, there was no news that the highway was going to be opened.
Tomorrow was the day of the land auction. Wei He took a plane with his assistant and rushed over.
They had already chosen one of the pieces of land. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. The main thing was that it was spacious and bright. Whether it was a shopping mall or a residential area, it was a good choice.
"Mr. Wei, the highest price we can accept for this piece of land is sixty million yuan. Isn't that a bit … too high?" The assistant, who was in his thirties, said hesitantly.
They still needed to pay for the construction of the land. Although it would definitely increase in value if they bought it in this day and age, whether it was a house or a shopping mall, if there was no traffic, it would be useless.
The money they could earn was too little, and the effort they spent was too much. What was the point? It was better to invest in something else.
"Sixty million yuan it is," Wei He glanced at his assistant and said casually.
As Wei Zhe had said, even if the highway wasn't opened, the loss of this piece of land was within his acceptable range. However, once the highway was opened … it would be a completely different story. Of course, Wei He didn't choose to gamble. It was just a medium-sized piece of land. If he had accurate information, he would directly bid for the biggest piece of land.
"Yes, sir." The assistant reminded him. Seeing that Wei He didn't intend to change his mind, he stopped talking.
The next day, the auction in A City was in full swing. Wei He sat in his chair and watched the small pieces of land being auctioned off. After a series of warm-up, it was finally the piece he wanted.
The auctioneer in front of him explained, "This piece of land is located near Xiyan Road. It has a total area of 65 square kilometers … Although the land isn't big, the terrain is excellent. The starting price is twenty-five million yuan, and each increment must be no less than one hundred thousand yuan."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to raise his sign. "Twenty-six million yuan."
"Twenty-seven million yuan."
"Twenty-eight million yuan."
"Thirty million yuan."
…
Wei He narrowed his eyes. He couldn't wait for the price to rise bit by bit. He raised his sign and directly raised the price by ten million yuan. "Forty-five million yuan."
There was a moment of silence in the surroundings. Soon, some people whispered a few words to the people beside them. They all felt that this price was not worth it to rise any higher. Thus, most people gave up on this piece of land and turned their eyes to other places.
"Forty-five million yuan going once."
"Forty-five million yuan going twice. Is there anyone who wants to go higher? If you like it, hurry up and buy it!"
"Forty-five million …"
Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted. "Forty-six million yuan."
Wei He frowned. He turned his head and saw that the person who had spoken to him was a member of the Ye family. He raised his sign again. "Fifty-six million yuan."
The Ye Family was laughing like crazy. Was Wei He's brain muddled? Forty-six million yuan for this piece of land was more or less profitable. If he added another ten million yuan, he would only be left with a mouthful of saliva. If he had that kind of money, he might as well earn something else.
The Ye family had come here to follow in Wei He's footsteps. They didn't bid for anything and waited for the auction to end. This person shamelessly walked to Wei He's side and mocked him. "Mr. Wei is really bold. I admire you. You're throwing away more than fifty million yuan just for fun."
Wei He glanced at the man emotionlessly with his pitch-black eyes. He casually adjusted his sleeves and nodded. "It's better than someone who came here just to buy some soy sauce. He can't even afford to fork out a small amount of money."
The man was speechless. He walked away with an unhappy expression.
Wei He sneered. He raised his head and looked at the bright lights in the auction hall. He hoped … that his good son wouldn't disappoint him!
