Li Fei was in a sorry state. His clothes were messy and covered in dirt. His face was also bruised. He was no longer as delicate and gentle as before. Instead, he looked like a hooligan who had just gotten into a fight.
Xu Jiaming's expression was not good either. He took out a medical kit and disinfected Li Fei's red and swollen arm. "Why can't you talk nicely? Why did you have to fight? You even got yourself injured … "
"Uncle Xu, what's going on?" Nie Ningle's little face was tense. She said fiercely, "Big Brother Li, who hit you? I'll get someone to put a sack over him."
"That's right, that's right. Me too." Fatty Ye raised his hand.
Wei Jing was puzzled. As far as he knew, Li Fei had always been polite and didn't like to fight. He was also Xu Jiaming's proud disciple in the world of painting and calligraphy. Who would fight with him?
Could it be his father?
That couldn't be right! Wei Jing organized his thoughts. In his previous life, Li Fei had killed his father when he was 20 years old. He was only 12 years old now. Even if it was a butterfly effect, it shouldn't be so big!
Unable to make sense of it, he simply asked, "Senior Brother Li, who did you fight with?"
The children's childish words made Li Fei feel much better. He looked up at the soft little boy. The coldness in his eyes gradually turned into a pool of spring water. He said lightly, "I just had a little conflict with a classmate, so we fought."
Li Fei was 18 years old this year. He was currently in his first year of university.
Young people were hot-blooded. It was common for young people to get into a fight because they couldn't accept it. Wei Jing looked the young man up and down. He saw that he only had superficial injuries. They looked serious, but in fact, he would recover after a few days of rest. He immediately let out a sigh of relief. It was good that he was fine.
Wei Jing had been in contact with the Xu family and Li Fei for a long time. He already knew what a bastard Li Fei's father was. He didn't want to see the tragedy of his previous life happen again. Li Fei should have a bright and glorious youth.
"Okay, okay, you all go play. There's no need to gather here." Xu Jiaming said, "Just leave this to me."
Everyone said a few words of condolence. Seeing that there was no use for them to stay, they returned to the study upstairs.
After this incident, it was impossible for Wei Jing to paint..
He took out his phone. For the past few days, he had been posting pictures of himself on Messenger Pigeon. The number of fans had already increased to a thousand. The speed was so fast that it made people click their tongues. Thinking of the fans that he had painstakingly built up in the future, Wei Jing couldn't help but sigh that this was really a golden age.
... ...... ................................
"Okay!" Wei Jing responded. The two of them quickly followed each other. He looked at Xu Jiahui's pigeon. He was posting about food, drinks, and games. He actually had more followers than him. There were 1,500. There were also many people interacting with him. He didn't know if they were real fans or paid posters.
The two of them were having fun. On the other hand, Nie Ningle was thinking about Li Fei. She was a little absent-minded. Fatty, who was isolated, felt very lonely.
Why am I always the one who gets hurt? He thought sadly.
In the evening, Wei Zhe came to pick up Wei Jing as usual. Before Wei Jing left, he hugged Li Fei and comforted him. "Don't be impulsive. Calm down. We can always find a solution." He didn't know the exact time and didn't know what had happened to cause Li Fei to kill his father. Even though he was anxious, he could only wait for the situation to develop.
After the young boy left, Li Fei came back to his senses. He smiled bitterly. He didn't expect to be comforted by a child six years younger than him.
He touched his injured face. His eyes were gloomy, like a venomous snake hibernating in the grass. "Can we always … find a solution?"
After returning home, Wei Jing was still thinking about Li Fei. He knew that he wasn't smart enough. The young boy's gaze fell on the man beside him. He pursed his lips. Wasn't there a smart person here?
"What's wrong? Tell me if you have something to say. "Wei Zhe saw that he was hesitating and took the initiative to speak.
Wei Jing sat on the sofa and whispered to the young boy what he knew about Li Fei and Xu Jiahui. His delicate little face was full of worry. "Big brother, what do you think we should do?"
He was very upset. If he had paid attention to these things in his previous life, he wouldn't be like this now. He was in the dark and couldn't do anything.
Wei Zhe … Wei Zhe was speechless.
In his previous life, he had to compete with Wei He's illegitimate son to prove that he had the right to inherit the company. Later on, he had to face Wei Jing's betrayal and Wei Yuhui's tricks … He had to work hard every day and had to entertain others. If Wei Jing asked what the government was going to do next? Where was the most valuable land? What projects were going to lose money next …
He could talk about them like they were his family treasures.
But a young policeman dying in the line of duty? A man killing his father? He didn't pay attention to these things in his previous life. At most, he heard a few words from others and forgot about them.
"Don't be anxious. There's still a long time before the incident happens, so there's no sign of it yet. We can't catch it even if we want to," Wei Zhe comforted him.
Take Xu Jiahui for example. He was just a little kid now. He was far from being a police officer, let alone dying in the line of duty.
As for Li Fei, they could investigate in advance.
"You're right." Wei Jing laughed bitterly. "I lost my composure when I saw Senior Li injured today."
Wei Zhe was a little jealous. Even though he knew that Li Fei was just a brother to him, he still couldn't control himself. He pulled the delicate-looking boy into his arms and hugged him. He rested his head on the other party's neck. "Tell me, is Big Brother more important or your senior brother more important?"
"Big … Big Brother." Wei Jing was so agitated that he stuttered. "You, you, you aren't possessed by something, are you?"
"What do you think? My brother doesn't care about me. He starts to worry about other people as soon as he comes home! " Wei Zhe softened his voice. He went to see a psychiatrist today. Now that he followed the doctor's advice and opened up his inner feelings, he felt a subtle sense of shame.
"Of course I like Big Brother the most." Wei Jing moved his body. The two of them hugged each other intimately. It felt … a little strange.
The sweet atmosphere quietly rose, with a subtle throbbing and shyness.
At this time, the sky was already dark. The bright moon rose, and the sky was filled with stars. The bustling B City lit up with colorful lights. There was no room for a third person between the two of them.
***
No matter how busy Wei Zhe was, he would insist on sending Wei Jing to school in the morning and then take a detour to the company.
This morning, after watching Wei Jing enter the school, he glanced to the side and saw an old couple supporting each other. His gaze fell on his brother from time to time … Where did he see him? He fell into deep thought.
Where exactly was it?
When he arrived at the company, he was still thinking about this question. He was even absent-minded when dealing with work.
At noon, Wei Yuhui came to his place. He didn't know if he was showing off or investigating the enemy, but he was very affectionate. His words were full of praise and yearning for the Wei Clan. Wei Zhe didn't want to talk to him. He said a few perfunctory words and sent him away. He didn't even have lunch with him.
His attitude of rejection could be said to be open and aboveboard. It was a direct slap to Wei Yuhui's face.
After being chased away, Wei Yuhui's face was gloomy. He gritted his teeth and stood in front of the headquarters of Jing An for a while. His eyes were full of gloominess. He drove his car, thinking about Wei He's instructions, and arrived at Wei Jing's school.
At this time, school was over. Many students were shouting to go out for lunch.
Wei Yuhui looked simple and honest. He was dressed in a high-end suit, which made him look like a pretentious person. Moreover, he disguised himself well, so people who looked at him instantly had a good impression of him. He asked for directions in school. He was prepared to take a long detour to find Wei Jing. Wei Zhe was too protective of him. Other than this, he couldn't find him at all.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the people in the school revealed a knowing look and kindly pointed the way for him.
Wei Yuhui raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Wei Jing to be so famous in school.
In the school cafeteria.
Wei Jing was waiting in line to get his food. Today, the third-year students were taken out by the teachers to take graduation photos. Xia Susu and Le Cheng weren't around. The person who accompanied him was his deskmate. The two of them had a good relationship. Perhaps it was because he was young, but the other party had always taken care of him.
"Wei Jing, you're here!" When Wei Yuhui walked up to him, he was still in a daze.
In his previous life, Wei Jing had been set up so badly by this person that when he saw him, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat. His hair stood on end. He looked at him warily and whispered, "Why are you here?"
Wei Yuhui smiled and said, "I'm going to work at the Wei Clan in a few days. Father said that we brothers shouldn't be too distant. Since there's still time, I wanted to get together with you. Why don't we go out for a meal together?"
"It's okay." Wei Jing rejected him without hesitation. "I still have classes in the afternoon. I won't trouble you."
"It's just 12 o 'clock. There's still a long time before afternoon classes. Also, we can eat outside the school. It's no trouble at all." Wei Yuhui dragged out the last syllable. There was a sense of mystery in his voice. "Also … Father asked me to pass a message to you."
When Wei Jing heard this, he hesitated. He looked conflicted. "Then … Okay!"
No matter how much he disliked Wei He, he was still his father. In his previous life, he had provided him with money for his studies. Even though he was cold to him, he had never harmed him. Now that he had something to say to him, it was only right for him to listen.
Wei Yuhui found a high-end hotel outside the school and asked for a private room.
The decor in the private room was naturally not to their liking. Wei Jing sat restlessly on the fake mahogany chair. The privacy of the private room made him feel uncomfortable. He was sitting with a bad guy who had set him up and his older brother up …
How … annoying!
Wei Yuhui looked at the young boy in front of him, whose thoughts were written all over his face. A look of disdain flashed across his eyes. If Wei He hadn't asked him to, he wouldn't have come over to talk to this brat.
While the food was being served, he seized the opportunity to chat with Wei Jing. He wanted to get some information out of him.
However, Wei Jing guarded against him like he was guarding against a virus. No matter what that person said, he would only respond with a simple 'oh', 'mm', 'okay', or 'got it'. It was enough to make him vomit blood.
Wei Yuhui had also been spoiled by his mother. After he patiently asked a few questions, his face darkened and he minded his own business and continued to eat.
Wei Jing didn't care about the other party's feelings. Or rather, the more unhappy Wei Yuhui was, the happier he was. You set me up in the past. Now you're getting your retribution! You deserve it!
In the end, Wei Jing didn't know what Wei He wanted to say to him.
After they left the restaurant and parted ways with Wei Yuhui, the young boy couldn't wait to call his older brother. He told him about Wei Yuhui's actions and reminded his older brother to be careful. In his previous life, he was the one behind all this …
"Okay, I got it." The voice on the other end was a little low. "Don't worry. Your older brother has been reborn. I won't fall into the same trap again." Although … he didn't fall into the trap in his previous life.
Wei Jing was relieved when he heard this. He comforted his younger brother and rushed to class.
On the other side, Wei Zhe stood by the window. His gaze fell on a corner of the empty space. He finally remembered … who were those two people?
Too much time had passed.
The last time he saw a photo of these two people was a long, long time ago. At that time, Wei Jing's parents had passed away in the same car. When Wei He investigated the identity of the man, there were photos of his parents attached to the investigation. He heard that the two elders had come to look for the child but left when they couldn't find him.
At that time, Wei Jing had already brought the child to the Wei family's old mansion. Everyone outside knew that Wei He had a child. If the two elders took the child away, it would be equivalent to directly telling the upper class of B City that he had been cuckolded. This was something that Wei He couldn't tolerate.
Thus, he brought the child home and left him there. He didn't care about him.
But now … why did the two elders come looking for him? Did they know that Wei Jing was their grandson? Or was it a coincidence? An accident?
Wei Zhe calmed down and made a phone call. He called his assistant in and asked him to find out what these two people were doing here.
Wait!
This was an opportunity!
An opportunity to separate himself from Wei Jing and not be bound to him as brothers. There was no construction without destruction. If he wanted to have him forever, he had to wash away the blood relationship between the two of them.
The days passed as usual. It was like a pool of calm water. Waves surged on the inside, but there was no trace of it on the outside.
After many days, the two elders finally received the DNA report. The report said that they were blood relatives. They couldn't help but cry tears of joy. After crying, they thought of a more serious problem.
After a period of observation, they realized that this child's life … was unusually good. He had a luxury car to pick him up and down. Even if they didn't recognize the brand of his clothes, they could tell that the price was not ordinary based on the fabric. Also, his drawing skills made it obvious that he was a pampered son of a rich family.
"Then … why don't we go and acknowledge him?" Grandpa Shen asked with a trembling voice.
They were just ordinary people. They could afford a car, but they couldn't afford a driver. Plus, they were old. How could they take good care of the child? Instead of letting him suffer with them, it was better to watch him from afar and know that he was living a good life.
"That's my grandson. I haven't even hugged him." Tears fell from Grandpa Shen's eyes as she spoke. Really … how could they go back? Then they would be separated by a long distance and wait for them to die. They probably wouldn't even know that they were his family, right?
"Hey! That's enough. I have something to do here. You don't have to talk about that … We won't accept it. "Grandpa Shen hung up the phone. His cloudy eyes were filled with fatigue." It was Little Sister. It's about the same thing. "
"Does she think we're easy to bully? Who doesn't know what she's thinking? "Grandpa Shen sat on the chair angrily and tried to calm herself down.
Grandpa Shen comforted her with a few words. It could only be said that people were fickle. They used to be so close to each other, but now they were scheming for money. In this world, who didn't love money? But she tried in vain to push the child into their care in order to get the inheritance. After they rejected her, she kept harassing them … Wasn't that a little too much?
"Why don't … we talk to our grandson and see which side he's willing to go with?" Grandpa Shen and the others had always thought that Wei Jing was adopted.
"This … Okay." Grandpa Shen looked at the sky outside and said, "Then we'll go look for him tomorrow. It's best if we talk in a place where there's no one around. Otherwise, if the people at school hear us, there'll be gossip."
"You're so thoughtful." Grandpa Shen nodded. With a grandson, it was as if all the fatigue in her body had disappeared. She stood up from the sofa as if she was flying. She looked left and right in the mirror in the room and said, "This won't do. Tomorrow is the first time I'll talk to my grandson. I have to go buy some good clothes."
"I'll go with you." Grandpa Shen, who had always been indifferent to clothes, became nervous at this moment. He picked up his wallet and prepared to change from head to toe.
B City was much more prosperous than W City. The two elders helped each other into the shopping mall. Not only did they choose a new set of clothes, but they also bought new shoes and bags. They hoped to leave a good impression on their grandson when they met tomorrow.
***
In a small, secluded private room outside the school, Wei Jing sat in silence. He looked at the documents in front of him, then looked up at the two elders and said with difficulty, "You mean … I'm your grandson? That's impossible, I … "
He wanted to refute, but the documents in his hand and Wei He's sudden coldness became ironclad evidence.
The two elders didn't expect his reaction to be so big. They said awkwardly, "We just want to see you. We won't force you to go back with us. We understand that you want to be with your adoptive father and family, but … can you call me Grandpa? Just once. "
"I …" He wasn't adopted.
Wei Jing opened his mouth, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. He turned his head and said weakly, "How did you find me?"
"There was a broadcast on TV about you. You look so much like your mother, so we followed you here." Grandma Shen said softly, "We took the chopsticks from your meal and did the DNA test."
"I understand. Can you … leave me alone for a while?"
They were both in their fifties and sixties. Wei Jing tried his best to force a smile. He didn't want to show any resistance and make them sad.
His ink-black eyes were filled with confusion. The elders didn't dare to provoke him. They said a few words and walked out of the private room. They didn't dare to leave. They were afraid that something would happen to a child outside. They sat at the open dining table outside and waited for someone.
Wei Jing stared at the report in front of him, his heart filled with panic.
His elder brother was willing to accept him, forgive him … and dote on him because he was his younger brother. But now … this report in black and white was like an executioner's knife. It viciously chopped down and destroyed his last hope.
He … wasn't Wei He's son to begin with.
He wasn't his elder brother either.
He thought about his previous life. After his scheme to take over the Wei Clan was exposed, Wei He looked at him with hatred. It was as if he was looking at trash … He chuckled softly. His laughter was bleak and sad. No wonder. He was a child who was not related by blood and had taken over the Wei Clan's property. Of course, he would be disgusted by him.
What should he do next?
Leave the Wei family? Leave Big Brother?
At this moment, Wei Jing was at a loss and didn't know what to do. He even felt a trace of hatred. Why did they have to tell him this? Why did they have to break up with Big Brother when they had just reconciled? Why?
Wei Jing didn't care about the Wei family, but he couldn't bear to leave Big Brother.
Including his previous life and this life, they had been together for almost 20 years! They had never been separated from each other. Now that he said he wanted to leave … he wanted him to leave B City and go directly to the distant and unfamiliar W City. The fear of facing the future and the fear of his big brother's disappointed eyes were like a mountain pressing down on him.
Why did his mother cheat on him?
Wei Jing thought about the past. In his hazy memories, his mother had never been a strong woman. She was delicate and weak, like a delicate lily. Every time she encountered difficulties, she would sit on the soft chair on the balcony and start wiping her tears.
She would cry again and again, as if there was no end to it.
It wasn't until Wei He rushed over, hugged her, comforted her, and coaxed her that she finally smiled.
She wasn't a good mother. She didn't know how to cook or coax him to sleep. She also didn't have time to teach him to do his homework. The most she said was, "You have to be obedient, okay? Otherwise, Mommy and Daddy won't like you anymore. "
These words had been spoken countless times by the ears of the young child back then. They were deeply imprinted in his mind like a brand.
He couldn't fight — because that was being disobedient.
He couldn't swear — because that was being disobedient.
He couldn't disturb Daddy and Mommy — because that was being disobedient.
He couldn't cry loudly — because that would cause trouble for the nanny — because that was also being disobedient.
And if he was being disobedient, Daddy and Mommy wouldn't like him anymore and would throw him away. He would be eaten by the big bad wolf outside.
For young and immature children, their parents' words were like an imperial edict.
