Wei Jing had never thought that he would be able to see Wei He again.
He didn't know if it had been too long, but the man in front of him and the Wei He in his memory didn't seem to be the same. He was wearing the same boring black suit that Wei He had always liked. His tone and gaze were the same, but … Wei Jing still felt that something was amiss.
He had been stopped by Wei He and his men on his way home. Now, they were in an open Western restaurant nearby. At a glance, there were many people around them.
Wei Jing's fear was soothed.
He did not dare to be alone with Wei He now. He was afraid that Wei He would kill him or take him away with drugs. If that happened, he would not even have a place to cry.
"Mr. Wei, may I know why you are looking for me?"
The man had not spoken since he sat there. He only stared at him with disgust, as if he was looking at an ant. Wei Jing's face stiffened. He felt a little uncomfortable. Was there something that he could not say directly?
He was not a roundworm in the man's stomach. He could understand what he meant just by looking at him.
"Say it!" Wei He looked away impatiently. "What do you want? Only then will you leave Wei Zhe. "
The air seemed to become quiet at this moment. Everything around him seemed to be far away. Wei Jing's fingers trembled as he held the cup. He lowered his head. The light in the restaurant shone on his face, making him look like a delicate porcelain doll. "He is my brother. What do you mean by leaving?"
"What have you done? Don't you know? " Wei He did not want to beat around the bush with the man in front of him. He reached out his right hand, and the bodyguard beside him immediately handed him the document in his hand.
The man slammed the document on the table. He gritted his teeth and said, "Open it and take a look."
Wei Jing hesitated. He slowly opened the document in front of him. His movements were so careful that even his heart seemed to be trembling.
Photos! Many pictures appeared in front of the young man. There were pictures of him and his big brother shopping at the supermarket. There were also pictures of the two walking together when Wei Zhe dropped him off at school. The two in the pictures didn't do anything intimate, but the flirtatious atmosphere and pink bubbles seemed to overflow even though they were separated by dimensions.
After Wei Jing looked at all the photos, his heart relaxed. Thank goodness! There was nothing out of the ordinary.
He started to play dumb. "Isn't this just a normal daily life? Photos can be deceiving. What can this prove? " He pretended to be arrogant and sneered. "That detective is useless to take these useless photos."
Wei He wasn't a hundred percent sure that Wei Jing and Wei Zhe didn't have any feelings beyond that of brothers!
However, no matter how he looked at it, Wei Jing was too much of a hindrance.
He had always thought that as time passed, the relationship between the two of them would naturally fade. However, after so many years, the two of them were still very close. At this point, it was no longer a matter of whether Wei Jing did it or not. Wei He wanted him to do it, so he had to insist that Wei Jing did it.
"You don't have to refute. I have eyes. I can see the relationship between the two of you clearly."
As Wei He spoke, he reached into his pocket and took out a recording pen. The pen looked quite old. The workmanship of the pen could not be compared to the current pen.
Wei Jing had a bad feeling. He slowed his breathing and clenched his fists. His nerves were extremely tense.
"Do you want to hear it?" The man smiled disdainfully. "Many years ago, when I talked to Wei Zhe, why do you think he was only nice to you? It was because … he knew from the beginning that you and I were not related by blood. "
"No! That's impossible! "Wei Jing instinctively retorted in a shrill voice.
The tape recorder started to play with a faint rustling sound. After so many years, the conversation that only the parties involved knew about appeared openly in Wei Jing's ears.
— — Where did you send Wei Jing?
— — It's just that I've always treated him like a pet. Suddenly, one day … the weak little rabbit ran away, and as his owner, I was abandoned by him. How could this be?
— — Who would treat someone who is not related by blood as their younger brother?
— — Wei Jing is timid, loves to cry, and is a coward when he encounters trouble. This kind of person is the easiest to control. Even if I break his legs, I believe he won't dare to resist me. Isn't this a very good tool to relieve stress?
The familiar voice made Wei Jing unable to muster up the courage to refute.
His breathing suddenly quickened, and details that he had never thought about suddenly appeared in his mind. Wei Zhe's strange acceptance, patience, and trust … If all of this was based on the fact that he was someone who couldn't compete for the Wei family's assets, then everything made sense.
An 'illegitimate son' who had been eliminated from the beginning would not be able to shake his position.
So it didn't matter how much he doted on him?
But … that was all in the past! Wei Jing tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall. Big Brother really liked him now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have raised him for so many years. He wouldn't have given him the majority of Jing An's shares.
Even if there were some bad things in the beginning, the end result was good. Wasn't that good?
Wei Zhe cared about him, at least … he cared about him now.
Therefore, he shouldn't be angry. He should be obedient and trust Wei Zhe, his lover. He shouldn't be angry at a man whom he hadn't seen for a long time and who had once hinted at others to kidnap him.
"Mr. Wei, if this is the only thing you want to talk about, then let me tell you, my relationship with Big Brother is very good now. You won't be able to sow discord between us like this." Wei Jing lost his composure and slammed the table as he stood up. A discordant tune suddenly rang out in the quiet and elegant restaurant, attracting the attention of most people.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave. I have to have dinner with Big Brother tonight. I don't have time to waste here."
After saying this, Wei Jing rushed out of the restaurant before the man could react.
Wei He, who was left behind, sneered. It was because his heart was shaken that he was bluffing. The more he was lacking, the more he was lacking. The louder he shouted, the more he wanted to show others that he already had the status.
Actually … he was still afraid!
"Sir," the bodyguard beside him said.
"Let's go back to the Wei family's mansion."
"But Madam told me to take you to the hospital for a check-up." The bodyguard was in a difficult position.
Wei He frowned and said coldly, "I'm your employer. Make sure you understand your position."
"Yes, Mr. Wei."
A few decades had passed. The group of servants that Wei He had when he first came to the Wei family had long disappeared. He was no longer as young and energetic as he was many years ago. A few decades ago, he was ambitious and had vowed to bring the Wei family to the top.
A few decades later, he was old and clumsy. He looked like a candle in the wind and could die at any time.
He sat in the back seat of the car and looked at his reflection on the black phone screen. He was only in his fifties. When did he become like this? How did he become like this?
The servants in the Wei family's mansion had always been quiet and obedient. Wei He walked into the living room. It was empty. There were only exquisite decorations and silent servants cleaning the place. It was like a tomb for the dead, silent and desolate.
He didn't know why, but his heart felt a little stuffy. The Americano coffee in the cafe fermented in his stomach, and an indescribably bitter taste suddenly rose in his mouth.
"Where's Zhao Wanwan?" Wei He asked.
"Madam Zhao left not long after you left," the servant replied respectfully.
Although Zhao Wanwan was now living with the Wei family, Wei He had never acknowledged her as Mrs. Wei. Therefore, the servants called her Madam Zhao.
Wei He nodded. The sunlight outside the window was just right. It shone on him and warmed his heart. The cold winter had passed. The pure white snow melted into a stream and moistened the ground beneath him. He walked to a secluded corner of the courtyard and took out his phone.
The other party picked up quickly. "Hello! Hello, Mr. Wei. What can I do for you? "
At this moment, Wei He was no longer the lonely old man from before. He was the current head of the Wei family who had single-handedly seized control of the entire family. His cloudy eyes shone brightly, and his entire being was as cold as ice. "How's the investigation going?"
"So far, there are still some suspicious points."
He took a deep breath. "Continue investigating. Who are Wei Yuhui and Zhao Wanwan close to? What do they do on a daily basis? Investigate every single one of them. "
"Yes, Mr. Wei."
Wei He was not a stupid person. After being reminded by Wei Zhe on New Year's Eve, he realized that something was wrong.
The medicine he usually took had been tampered with. If he took it for a long time, it would make him mentally tired, powerless, and muddle-headed. Wei He felt that he was really old. How could he not realize such a clumsy scheme?
Or was it because he was too confident in his deterrence and thought that Zhao Wanwan and Wei Yuhui would not dare to do anything to him?
Once he realized that something was wrong, he would be able to find loopholes in all the previous areas.
On the surface, Wei He did not say anything, but he had already sent people to investigate in secret. Wei Yuhui had been the Vice President of the Wei Clan for six to seven years. He had accumulated a lot of connections. If he wanted to uproot him, he had to be patient.
Night fell.
As usual, Wei He sat on the sofa for a while before he got up, exhausted. He rubbed his temples. "I'm going to sleep. You guys should rest early too."
"Okay." Zhao Wanwan smiled softly. Her words were full of concern and reproach. It was impossible to dislike her. "I asked the bodyguard to take you for a checkup today, but you refused. Our family is not short of money. Your health is the most important thing."
Wei He's gloomy face relaxed slightly. He waved his hand casually. "I just had a checkup a few days ago. What's there to check? It's the same old problem."
"Okay, okay, okay. You're right." Zhao Wanwan played along. "If you're tired, go and rest!"
"Okay." Wei He nodded. He walked in front of Wei Yuhui. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and called out to him. "Oh yes, I talked to Wei Jing. That little bastard refused to leave. Think of a way to get him out of here."
"Dad! That's not good! " Wei Yuhui was excited, but he pretended to be in a difficult position. "No matter what, Wei Zhe and I are brothers. If I bully his lover like this … This …"
"Shut up. We're both men. What kind of lover are you talking about?" Wei He frowned and scolded loudly. "Do what I ask you to do. I don't care what method you use. Anyway, as long as you get Wei Jing out of my sight, I have a private island overseas. I'll give it to you."
"Dad, don't worry. Leave it to me."
A private island overseas was Wei He's private property. It was real estate! If he sold it …
Wei Yuhui's breathing quickened. His eyes lit up. He could disgust Wei Zhe and get money at the same time. Wasn't this a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?
Wei He turned around and sneered. Since Wei Yuhui would be eliminated sooner or later, wouldn't it be wonderful to use him to get rid of Wei Jing?
***
When Wei Jing returned to the small villa, it was still early, and the warm sun shone above everyone's heads. He looked up and subconsciously closed his eyes from the glare.
"Xiaojing, what's wrong?" The housekeeper asked worriedly. "If there's anything wrong, you can discuss it with Mr. Wei. We'll find a solution."
Wei Jing was stunned. He smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"Really? But you don't look too good. Don't force yourself. Mr. Wei loves you so much. He'll definitely be on your side, "the housekeeper said encouragingly.
Wei Jing's emotions calmed down a little when he heard the housekeeper's words. He scratched his head and strode upstairs. "I'm really fine. It's almost the deadline. I have to go draw."
"Are you … really fine?" The housekeeper, who was left downstairs, was puzzled. "But you look like you're about to cry. Forget it. I must be overthinking. "
The room, which had been empty for a few days, was still clean and tidy. Wei Jing sat on the computer chair and turned on the computer. His gaze fell on a spot in the air. The housekeeper was right. Wei Zhe loved him so much now, but it was all in the past. He shouldn't be calculative about it.
He had the ability to make Wei Zhe, who hated him, like him now. That was his ability. Others couldn't be envious of him.
Jing An was in his hands. Wei Zhe wouldn't dare to provoke him. Otherwise … Otherwise, he would make him leave with nothing! Wei Jing comforted himself and suppressed his depressed mood. During this period of time, he had to go to school and … fall in love with Wei Zhe. During the serialization of the manga, he had stopped updating for a week. This time, he couldn't continue being a lazy fish.
Wei Jing opened his graphics tablet and started drawing carefully.
After so many years of learning, his strokes were smooth and the characters were lively. Coupled with the inspirational and hot-blooded story, he had attracted a large number of fans.
After drawing for a long time, Wei Jing put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist. Suddenly, the penguin icon on the bottom right corner of his computer rang.
Fei Xiaomao: I'm so angry! Super angry! Super angry! So angry that I'm about to explode!
Wei Jing looked at it in a daze. Before his brain, which was filled with paintings, could react, his fingers had already reflexively returned. "I rejected the story of the battle between cute pets a long time ago. I'm not going back on my word!"
Fei Xiaomao: …
Wei Jing: [Pitiful.Jpg]
Fei Xiaomao: Of course I know. I'm not angry at you because of this. It's something else!
Wei Jing was curious: What is it? Why are you so angry?
Fei Xiaomao was Wei Jing's first editor. Although they were no longer working together, their personalities were similar and they often contacted each other. Previously, Fei Xiaomao had even introduced him to drawing a story for a mobile game. At that time, Fei Xiaomao had been so flustered by Wei Zhe's confession that he didn't have time to do anything else. Therefore, he had rejected the offer.
Fei Xiaomao: Didn't I tell you that I had a blind date? We've been dating for a while now. Both of us think that it's a good idea and we're getting engaged.
Wei Jing: Isn't that good? Congratulations on getting rid of your bachelor career. [Claps.Jpg]
Fei Xiaomao: Listen to me first! A few months ago, he got promoted by some dumb luck. Then … a female junior came over and tried to push her cousin into their department.
Wei Jing: … If I remember correctly, your boyfriend's company is … Jing An?
Fei Xiaomao: … Yup.
Wei Jing: Forgive me for being blunt. Even if he becomes a manager, it's impossible to push a good-for-nothing into Jing An!
Fei Xiaomao: No! That person is quite capable.
Wei Jing: …
Fei Xiaomao: There are two interns. The company only allows one to stay.
Wei Jing thought for a while and said tactfully: Connections are also a kind of relationship. If two people are not too different in terms of ability … Uh! You understand.
Fei Xiaomao: … The other one is my cousin. [Cold face emotion.jpg]
Wei Jing: … I understand. So he chose the other person?
Fei Xiaomao: … Yup.
Fei Xiaomao: And that woman was his first love. He told me about it during the blind date and even showed me a photo. At that time, I just thought that this person was so funny. He was so cute! As for now … it started crying with a bark.
Wei Jing: Damn! Who hasn't loved one or two scumbags in this day and age?
This multiple-choice question has changed from an intern to a man choosing between two women.
Fei Xiaomao: The problem is that I didn't tell him that the other intern is my cousin! (?? □ ′)? (? ━?
Wei Jing: Meow meow meow???
Fei Xiaomao: I feel that no matter what, I have to rely on myself to fight for everything. Plus, I've asked him openly and secretly, and he always said that my cousin's work ability is better than the other person. The person who will stay in the end should be my cousin. Who knew that he would be intercepted in the end!
Wei Jing: … This question is beyond my ability. [Obedient.Jpg]
Fei Xiaomao: That's why I'm also very conflicted!
It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong, but Fei Xiaomao was the man's girlfriend. Seeing her boyfriend help the woman he once had a crush on and even accidentally hurt his cousin, she was definitely upset.
Fei Xiaomao: Forget it, forget it. I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the sadder I feel. Do you think he still has feelings for that woman?
Wei Jing: I don't think that counts! Probably …
Fei Xiaomao: Ahhh!!! Why did I mention it again?
Fei Xiaomao: Speaking of which, Pangolin, we've known each other for so many years and we're both in B City. Do you want to meet me (*/ω\ *)?
They've known each other for four to five years and should have gotten to know each other long ago. It's just that the other party didn't mention it. Wei Jing was a man, and he felt that it was inappropriate to ask a girl out. Now that the other party took the initiative to ask, he naturally agreed. — — Sure! When are you free?
Fei Xiaomao: The day after tomorrow! Since it's the weekend, let's go shopping together! I want to buy, buy, and buy to appease the resentment in my heart.
Wei Jing: … Erm! Can I refuse to go shopping?
Fei Xiaomao: Cough, cough! I forgot that you're a man, Pangolin. Let's meet at the cat café on Hubin Road!
Wei Jing: Okay!
At this moment, the sky darkened and the last ray of sunlight disappeared, leaving only silence in the room. Wei Jing got up, turned on the lights in the room, and did two open-chest exercises. The little bit of sadness in his heart slowly dissipated into the air.
Life wasn't as smooth as it seemed.
He and Wei Zhe had known each other since they were young. After the baptism of time, they became each other's lover and dependence.
He used to think that everything was perfect, but it was actually just a whim. But even so … Even if he was just using him, it didn't matter. He was just a pet who loved to tease. All these years, he saw how well Wei Zhe treated him.
He even generously gave Jing An to him as a birthday present. He trusted and loved him so much.
How could he blame the current Wei Zhe because of a voice message from the past? A family needed two people to run it, and love needed two people to protect each other. All these years, he had always been the one being tolerated.
He threw a tantrum, ran away from home, and willfully followed the old madams back to City W.
And in his previous life, that betrayal …
He had done so many terrible things, but he had always been patiently accepted in Wei Zhe's arms, holding up the world for him, allowing him to soar freely.
The corners of the young man's lips curled up slightly, and there was a sweet smile in his eyes. This time, he would be the one to tolerate Wei Zhe.
He stood by the window, looked at the man in a suit downstairs, and waved his hand vigorously. "Big Brother."
"Yes." The man looked up, and their gazes met in the air. A warm south wind blew, and small sharp teeth emerged from the ground. The heavy branches sprouted, and in an instant, it was the season of spring, when flowers bloomed, and all living things came back to life.
They looked at each other and smiled.
Wei Zhe had one hand in his pocket, and his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. His deep eyes were filled with gentleness that could melt a person's heart. "Come down quickly, it's time to eat."
"Coming soon."
Wei Jing broke into a big smile, and there was no gloominess at all. That conversation was squeezed into a small round pancake and hidden in his heart, becoming his little secret.
Wei Jing ran downstairs and complained, "Why are you working overtime again? It's already six or seven o 'clock. "
Wei Zhe said helplessly, "I didn't work overtime, and there was a traffic jam!" He paused for a moment and asked casually, "Did Wei He come to look for you today?"
