406 Calculation Error
It wasnât because Mother Wei enjoyed being fawned on, but because Su Meng had spread the news that she had been in prison at Grandfather Weiâs birthday banquet. She had become a joke in the circle.
Everyone laughed at her, saying that she, the dignified Madam of the Wei family, had actually been tricked by her own daughter-in-law.
In their circle, there was no such thing as being stepped on by a daughter-in-law. In other families, it was the mother-in-law who punished the daughter-in-law, but in her case, it was the opposite. It was the daughter-in-law who punished her.
Not only would those rich ladies mock her behind her back, but they would also sneer at her in front of her. This really made her lose face.
If not for Grandfather Weiâs protection, she would not have let Su Meng off so easily.
For the past few days, news of her had been spreading everywhere in the circle, causing an uproar. She didnât even dare to go out, so she could only idle at home by playing mahjong.
The other ladies didnât dare to say anything when they saw Mother Weiâs gloomy face. They only played mahjong with her quietly.
In any case, their purpose of looking for her was not to chat with her. They were only here to make their stand clear because of the recent situation that Mother Wei was in.
As long as they could leave a good impression on Mother Wei, the Wei familyâs company would definitely take care of them in the future.
âMom, you must be tired. Iâll massage your shoulders. Donât worry, I wonât disturb you and the aunties playing cards.â Wei Xue had been watching them from the side. When she saw Mother Wei shrugging, she knew that she was feeling terrible, so she went forward and considerately said those words.
âXiao Xue loves me the most.â Seeing that Wei Xue was so sensible, Mother Weiâs expression finally eased up a little.
When the other mahjong friends heard Mother Wei praise Wei Xue, they also took the opportunity to praise her. âXiao Xue is really a good child. Not only is she so beautiful, but sheâs also so gentle. I donât know which boy will benefit from her in the future.â
âThatâs right, Madam Wei really taught her children well. Wei Ting is so capable, and Wei Xue is so sensible. Sigh, unlike the two in my family, they only know how to fight each other every day. The older brother doesnât know how to give in to the younger sister, and the younger sister doesnât know how to give in to the older brother. The family is in chaos all day.â
âHey, how can you say that? How can a small family like us compare to the Wei family? Theyâve been trained to be successors since birth.â
Listening to her mahjong friends praising her one after another, the smile on Wei Xueâs face was almost uncontrollably bright.
However, due to the fact that Mother Wei was in a bad mood, she could only try her best to pretend to be calm and indifferent. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised as she elegantly nodded her thanks to the madams.
While everyone was praising her, they didnât forget to play mahjong. The originally oppressive house finally had a little vitality at this moment. Mother Weiâs expression was much better.
However, at this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the entrance, followed by the servantâs call, âYoung Master, youâre back.â
âEn, whereâs the Second Miss?â His voice was low and magnetic.
When Wei Xue heard this voice, joy immediately rose in her heart. The person she missed the most had returned!
Although the two of them had only been separated for a few days, it felt like three autumns to her. She missed him very much.
So, when she heard that Wei Ting had returned and the first thing he asked about was her, Wei Xue was simply overjoyed. She got up and ran toward the entrance.
âXiao Xueâs relationship with Wei Ting is really good. Once she heard that her brother was back, she went to pick him up in such a hurry. Itâs so good.â The madam sitting beside Wei Xue sighed with emotion.
âThatâs right. My daughter has always liked to pester her brother since she was a child. She canât wait to be with her brother. Seeing that theyâre so close, I can be at ease.â After playing for so long, there was finally a glimmer of light in Mother Weiâs eyes when she heard that Wei Ting had returned.
She also wanted to go out and take a look, but when she thought of Wei Tingâs attitude toward her a few days ago, her face immediately turned cold again. She could not let go of this face.
Wei Xue was anxious to see Wei Ting, so her speed was very fast. She almost bumped into Wei Ting, who was walking toward her. The distance between the two of them was only half a step. If Wei Xue were to fall toward Wei Ting now, she would fall into his arms.
âAiya!â Wei Xueâs reaction speed was very fast, and she instantly thought of a way to get close to Wei Ting. She pretended to lose her balance and fall into Wei Tingâs arms.
Wei Xue didnât even assume a defensive posture because she believed that Wei Ting would definitely catch her.
However, she was really overthinking it. Not only did Wei Ting not catch her, but he even dodged sideways.
Wei Tingâs dodge was too sudden. Wei Xue didnât expect Wei Ting to make such a move at all. She couldnât react in time and fell straight to the ground.
