All good things must come to an end.
After Wei Jing finished talking with the two elders, they booked the train tickets for the day after tomorrow and prepared to go to City W.
He went home as usual and acted coquettishly and talked to Wei Zhe. His life was no different from before. He didn't know how to lie, so he chose to remain silent. Therefore, there were no more lies.
The day Wei Jing left was a cloudy day. Gray clouds floated above his head, and the cold wind at the end of May brought with it a chill. He looked back at City B, where he had lived for most of his life, and his black hair was messy from the wind.
His heart was empty. Who couldn't live without who in this world? It was just that he didn't want to live.
The train continued to move forward. After five to six hours, it stopped in the distant City W.
Old Madam brought Wei Jing back to the place where they usually lived. She smiled cautiously. "This place is remote. Let's stay here first. In a few days, when Grandma has cleaned up the big house in the north, we'll move in together."
This was the old neighborhood where their family first lived. The security in the neighborhood was not good in all aspects, but the neighbors had good relations. As they grew older, they began to cherish the old times and couldn't bear to move away.
The house was not big, but it was tidy. Wei Jing's gaze swept across the room and finally landed on a black and white photo of the deceased.
Old Master Zhe, who was always paying attention to his grandson, said, "This is … your father, Chen Kun. Your face looks like your mother's, but your eyes look like your father's. "
People were usually slow to react to their own appearance. Wei Jing knew that he looked like his mother, but his father … He was stunned. Even if he couldn't tell, he forced a smile in order not to hurt the old man's feelings and said, "Yes!"
He was tired from the day's travel and had to leave his hometown.
Old Madam's heart ached for her grandson. She opened a clean room and said, "This is the room your father used to live in. If you don't mind, you can lie here and rest for a while."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma." He thanked her in a low voice. His tone was a little awkward.
After all, they were still strangers a few days ago. Now that they had suddenly become close family, they needed time to adapt.
"Okay!" She helped her grandson carry the small suitcase inside and changed the bedsheets and mattress on the bed before leaving.
The bed was a small single bed about 1.5 meters wide. The bedsheet was an ordinary grayish-blue checkered, and the furnishings in the room were very old. Wei Jing sat by the bed and looked at the simple desk, bookshelf, and the posters of the Little Tigers on the wall.
Is this … the place where father grew up?
What kind of person would he be? Gentle and cheerful? Sports expert? Are your grades good? He lay on the bed and thought for a while. He was physically and mentally exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep in Wei Jing.
He took out his phone but didn't dare to turn it on.
It was already past five o 'clock in the afternoon. She must be worried sick that she couldn't find her brother! Did he even read my letters? Would she believe what he said?
Wei Jing's guess was right. Wei Zhe was indeed very anxious now.
He waited outside the school for a while, but he couldn't get through to him on the phone. When he found the school, the teacher told him that Wei Jing didn't come to class today. Wei Zhe hesitated for a while and asked someone to go back to the apartment first. On the way back, he wondered if someone made the stupid rabbit sad again and skipped class.
Who knew that what welcomed him wasn't his beloved brother, but a farewell letter.
The general idea was that he wasn't his brother, and he felt very sad that he had taken over his place. He had already returned home with his family and told Wei Zhe not to come and find him.
Wei Zhe … Wei Zhe almost smashed the house?
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Do you think I don't know if you are my biological son? Why did he have to make such a big fuss? If he had known, he wouldn't have waited for him to confess. He should have just exposed him and trapped him in his arms.
He had already looked at the house for the elderly in B City, but Wei Jing actually went back to W City with them. Did he still have him in his heart?
Wei Zhe took a deep breath. The devil in his heart was encouraging him, making him want to go over and grab Wei Jing back. He wanted to tie him up with a fine and strong chain and watch him rely on himself for a living. He wanted him to never leave him.
No, this wasn't right.
He sat on the sofa with his long and narrow eyes half-closed. His handsome side profile was blurred by the faint light coming through the window. His assistant beside him held his breath and trembled in fear. He was afraid that he would accidentally get into trouble.
Boom!
There was a loud clap of thunder. B City, which had been gloomy for the entire day, started to rain heavily. The bean-sized raindrops hit the glass like a piece of music.
Wei Zhe turned his head and said in a low voice, "What's the fastest way to get from B City to W City?"
"Let me check." Assistant Xu answered and walked to the side to make a call. After about five minutes, he said, "If you take a plane, there's a flight tomorrow at eight o 'clock in the morning. You can reach there at 11: 45 pm."
"Okay, book the ticket for me. You can get off work now." Wei Zhe waved his hand. He was still sitting upright, but Assistant Xu seemed to see his back bending.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Very good! He was still their serious, serious, and arrogant Big Boss.
The confinement nanny came over to prepare dinner as usual. She noticed that someone was missing and asked curiously, "Where's Xiaojing?"
Wei Zhe paused and turned to look at the confinement nanny. He said casually, "He has something to do tonight, so he won't be eating at home. He'll be back tomorrow."
"Oh, oh!" The confinement nanny was a little afraid of this employer. She responded with a few words and hurried off to cook.
Wei Zhe opened the door to the boy's room. The things in the room were not touched. They were still the same as when Wei Jing left. If it weren't for the letter in his hand, he would have thought that this was just a dream.
"Hello! What's the matter? "Wei Zhe answered the phone. His tone was a little unpleasant.
"Mr. Wei, the Wei family broke the contract. They prepared a one-month contract, but they didn't want to sign it …" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded cautious.
Everyone in the company knew that the big boss was the son of the current CEO of the Wei family. The two families were actually one family. Therefore, if the other party didn't want to sign the contract, it was like slapping Jing An in the face!
"Okay." Wei Zhe narrowed his eyes. He clicked his tongue and said, "Leave it to me."
"Okay."
After Wei Zhe hung up the phone, he immediately called Wei He. Their voices were a little distorted because they were separated by a long line. Wei He's tone was a little sarcastic. "After so long, you're finally willing to call me?"
"You're behind Wei Jing's incident?" Wei Zhe lowered his voice. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"I just talked to him about a small matter. He made the final decision himself." Wei He played with the teacup in his hand. He listened to the rough breathing on the other end of the phone. "It's just a little pet. Daddy will give you a prettier one."
"… Scram." Wei Zhe squeezed the word out through gritted teeth.
He stood quietly in the dark room for a long time until the confinement nanny called him. The young man took a deep breath and walked out of the room. He ate, drank, and slept as usual. It was the last quarter moon at the end of May. The moonlight was dim, just like Wei Zhe's mood at that moment.
He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Why did he leave? He had been fine a few days ago. Why did he leave without saying goodbye after being scolded by Wei He?
Wei Jing … Did he really care about him?
Wei Zhe couldn't figure it out. If it were him, no matter what Wei He said, he wouldn't leave. He wouldn't leave just like that.
After a sleepless night, Wei Zhe arrived at the company with two dark circles under his eyes. Everyone in the company was shocked. When they thought about the contract that the Wei family tore apart yesterday, everyone was shocked. Could it be that Big Boss and the Wei family had a falling out?
As Wei Zhe's personal assistant, Mr. Xu was trembling with fear. He stole a glance at the president and said softly, "Mr. Wei, this is the ticket that you asked me to book yesterday."
Wei Zhe's gaze was unfocused. He waved his hand and said, "Put it where it is!"
"Your itinerary for today has been changed. How many days will you be in City W?" The president of such a big company couldn't be away for too long.
After a long silence, just as Mr. Xu was thinking about what he had said wrong, the man slowly said with exhaustion, "The ticket has been refunded. Inform the heads of all departments to come to the conference room for a meeting in an hour."
Jing An's main business now was mobile phones and various mechanical products, as well as the development of online software. Because of the new mobile phones, the stock price was rising steadily. Soon, it reached a terrifying level.
However, Wei Zhe wasn't satisfied with this. He wanted to build a bigger business empire and give it to Wei Jing.
Wei Zhe thought about the day he came of age. He wanted to give Wei Jing the company that Wei Jing wanted but couldn't get in his previous life as his eighteenth birthday present. Wei Zhe felt warm in his heart.
Jing An was named after Wei Jing's Ping An.
Perhaps Wei Jing didn't know that Wei Jing owned 46% of Jing An's shares, Wei Zhe owned 15%, and Yan Laosan owned 12%. The rest was divided among a few small shareholders. In other words … Wei Zhe's hard work was equivalent to working for Wei Jing.
Only Wei Zhe and Yan Laosan knew about this.
Wei Jing was only twelve years old. If outsiders found out, it was inevitable that his guardian would have bad intentions.
Recently, Jing An had cooperated with the Wei family on a piece of land. Obviously, they wanted to expand the company's business. Wei Zhe, who had lived in his previous life, understood how profitable the real estate business was. It could be said to be explosively profitable. The Wei family was a real estate tycoon. Now that they had broken the contract, it would be difficult for Jing An to get involved in the real estate business.
The man's long and narrow eyes narrowed. He chuckled. Wei He was indeed old. Real estate wasn't the only business that could make money … Wei Zhe turned his attention to the entertainment industry.
The income from this industry wasn't any less than the real estate industry.
However, everyone was using 2G networks now. Social media wasn't as developed as it would be in the future. Naturally, no one knew how much money an entertainment company could make in the future.
Wei Zhe acted quickly. Before the Wei family could react, the company's policies had changed.
Outsiders said that Wei Zhe was crazy. He had just started the mobile phone industry, but he was already dreaming of taking over everything. He was indeed too young and ignorant to make a move on the entertainment industry that he didn't understand at all. Many shareholders in the company objected. However, Wei Zhe had single-handedly earned Jing An. Without Wei Jing, the biggest shareholder, objecting, he had the final say.
Wei Zhe wasn't unprepared for this. When his stupid rabbit said that he wanted to make money by drawing comics in the future, he had already considered whether he should enter the entertainment industry.
In the future, he could do publicity for his younger brother and sell copyrights … Now, he was just one step ahead of schedule.
As for Wei Jing … Wei Zhe chuckled. When he finished dealing with the matters at hand, he would see how he could bring him back …
Far away in City W, Wei Jing suddenly shivered. He felt a slight pain in his butt.
Today was a good day for the Chen family. They told everyone that they had found their long-lost grandson. The whole family gathered at a mid-range hotel nearby and prepared to let Wei Jing recognize him. Old Madam and Old Master Chen were both wearing purple-red Tang suits. They looked elegant and energetic.
Wei Jing was wearing a cream-colored turtleneck sweater and a pair of blue jeans. His facial features were exquisite, his skin was as smooth as jade, and his slightly upturned cat eyes were pure and unknowingly seductive. The aura he exuded from the inside out made people forget about him. He was like a little prince in a fairy tale.
This time, there were two tables at the dinner party. The guests were divided into two groups. On one side was Old Master Chen's elder brother's family, and on the other side was his younger sister's family.
Wei Jing followed Old Master Chen and greeted everyone obediently. Every time he called someone, the other party would give him a red packet. This was a rule in City W. When a child met an elder for the first time, the elder would give a small gift. Usually, it was about three to four hundred yuan.
When he called his younger aunt, Wei Jing realized that … this person seemed to be hostile towards him.
The woman's face was dark. She clenched the red packet tightly in her hand and refused to give it to him. She glanced at Old Madam Chen and said in a strange tone, "Second Brother, why did you casually bring back a child? Are you sure he's Ah Kun's son? There are a lot of scammers these days. You have to be careful … "
Wei Jing … Wei Jing was dumbfounded!
This should be the first time he met this woman! Why was she so hostile towards him?
"What are you talking about?" Old Madam Chen couldn't bear to see people badmouthing Wei Jing. It was already hard for this child to come back with them. Moreover, the DNA test had been done. Did they take the initiative to find him? How could this woman have the nerve to say that?
"Second Sister-in-law, why are you angry? Aren't I just thinking about you? " The woman glanced at Wei Jing disdainfully. "You brought Wei Jing back just like that. Where are his adoptive parents? They didn't ask you for alimony … When the time comes, not only do you have to support the child, but you also have to support other people! "
According to the woman's logic, Wei Jing's adoptive father's family must not be as rich as Old Master Li's family. Otherwise, why would this child be willing to come back with them? She mocked Wei Jing for being a traitor in the future and using Old Master Li's money to support his adoptive father's family.
Wei Jing trembled with anger when he heard the woman's words. How could there be such a person in the world? She was so stingy with her sinister thoughts to suspect others.
"Does my eldest brother lack this little money?" Wei Jing took a deep breath and told himself that this was his aunt and that he couldn't scold her. He had to control himself … control himself … The young boy took out his cell phone and faced everyone's suspicious gazes. He said in a clear voice, "This cell phone was made by my eldest brother's company. It costs 8,880 yuan …"
He snorted coldly. "I usually have a car to send me to school and I have a nanny to take care of everything at home … None of the clothes I wear cost less than 1,000 yuan. Oh, right." He smiled. "I also learned how to paint. Last year, my eldest brother gave me a set of German Schmeinker paints for my birthday. The official price is around 40,000 yuan."
He didn't look like a little prince. He looked like a real little prince who had been pampered by Wei Zhe with real money.
Not only was the woman shocked by his words, but even the eldest son's family, who had been silent at the side, was also shocked. Old Madame and the others were already prepared. They could only sigh in their hearts and could not say anything.
They had observed Wei Jing for so long that they had already known everything about him, including the clothes he wore and the car he used. The more they knew, the more guilty they felt.
"Who doesn't know how to brag?" The woman's youngest son muttered softly beside her.
They were both twelve years old this year. The child's face was dark as if it couldn't be washed clean. There were also oil stains on the cuffs of his clothes … He looked like a completely different person from the clean and fashionable Wei Jing.
"Okay, it's time to eat," Old Master Li said.
Coincidentally, the restaurant started serving the dishes. When the woman saw this, she felt extremely gloomy. Her son's adoption was already in the bag, but Chen Kun's son had to come out of nowhere at this time of all times.
Her plan had failed, so she was naturally unhappy with Wei Jing.
Wei Jing was sitting at a table. Other than him and the woman's youngest son, everyone else was adults. The rest of the teenagers and children were sitting at another table.
After all these years, there were still some things that remained in his blood.
Even though he was eating like everyone else, Wei Jing's … Oh! How should he put it? He just looked better than the others. He was not in a hurry and his movements were elegant … When the people at the table saw him, their rough movements slowed down a lot.
Old Master Chen sighed in his heart. It seemed that what this kid said before was most likely true.
After a while, everyone was almost done eating. Old Master Chen wiped his mouth and asked lovingly, "Xiaojing is 12 years old this year. He will be entering middle school next year. Do you want me to make some arrangements? I have some connections in Second High."
"No need." Old Master Chen shook his head proudly and said happily, "Our Xiaojing is already in the second year of middle school this year. He will be in the third year of middle school next year. When he shows his grades, he will definitely be able to enter No.1 Middle School."
"He is in the second year of middle school at such a young age. That's amazing." Old Master Chen's son's eyes lit up. "Did he skip a grade?"
"It's nothing. I only skipped two grades in elementary school." Wei Jing said modestly, "My eldest brother is the amazing one. When he was in the first year of middle school, he skipped a grade and graduated from university at the age of 18." Although his eldest brother who skipped a grade was reborn. Facepalm.
Old Master Chen was bragging about the grandson he found and Wei Jing was bragging about his eldest brother. It was very harmonious!
After the meal, everyone went back to their own homes.
Old Master Chen and the rest had a good impression of Wei Jing. This was the Chinese education system. Children who were good at their studies were always more loved than those who were not.
Wei Jing handed the red packets in his hand to Old Master Chen and the rest, but he was rejected. They said that it was for him and that he should keep it properly. Wei Jing opened the four or five red packets. Other than his youngest aunt's family who gave him a pitiful 200 RMB, the rest of the red packets were all 500 RMB.
Old Master Chen sighed softly when he saw this. His youngest sister was really spoiled by them.
Old Master Chen had given his wife's family a lot of money to run a business over the years. Old Master Chen had given them a lot of money, ranging from tens of thousands of RMB to a few hundred RMB. In total, it was around 40 to 50 thousand RMB. However, they had never mentioned anything about returning the money.
Old Master Chen thought that he was already so old and did not have any children. Why would he need so much money? In the end, he could not bring it into the ground.
But now … … he looked at the child beside him.
He was so small and soft, and he still needed their care. They could not give him a luxurious life like before, but they would do their best to take care of him and give him the best things for themselves.
Wei Jing … … Wei Jing subconsciously trembled when the two old men looked at him. He felt … … a little strange!
Wei Jing had lived in City W for five to six days. He had slowly adapted to the surrounding environment. Everyone in the community knew that he was the child that Old Master Chen had brought back. They were very kind to him, and the grandma next door would often give him apples.
In just a few days, his life in City B was like the moon in the water, a reflection in the mirror. It was so blurry that it was unreal.
How was Big Brother now? Would he miss him too?
Wei Zhe, who was missed by Wei Jing, had finally stabilized the company. He had completed all the handover procedures, booked the plane tickets, and took his suitcase to City W.
Haha! He wanted to leave? Did he ask for his permission?
At around seven in the afternoon, Wei Jing, who had just finished dinner, sat on the sofa. He heard a knock on the door. He stood up and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
The door opened, and a familiar handsome face appeared in front of Wei Jing. Wei Zhe said with a fake smile, "It's me!"
Wei Jing's little nerves suddenly trembled. With a bang, he closed the door in Wei Zhe's face.
Wei Zhe: "… …"
Wait a minute! Why did this scene seem so familiar?
