When he was about to finish his sentence, he suddenly lowered his voice again. ââ¦Zhiqing home.â
Dong Muping felt so speechless.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
She thought to herself, âIf you are so confident, why donât you say it out loud?â
At this moment, Dong Muping believed what Yan Beicheng had said.
Yan Zhiqing really only considered Wei Wucai a friend.
However, Dong Muping also thought that humans should remain somewhat hopeful.
And so, she asked, âAre you going to bring Zhiqing home as her boyfriend?â
Wei Wucai nodded confidently and said, âDefinitely.â
âAlright.â Dong Muping decided to give Wei Wucai a chance to prove himself as she said, âThen try your best while you two are still working together.â
âOkayâ¦â Wei Wucai responded while the corner of his mouth was twitching involuntarily.
âLet me know if you need help with anything.â Dong Muping felt very desperate to provide some assistance.
âAlrightâ¦â Wei Wucai agreed.
âBoss,â Hu Guangmo called out, telling Wei Wucai that it was time to work.
Wei Wucai immediately said to Dong Muping, âMom, I have to work now.â
âAlright. Alright. Go ahead,â Dong Muping hurriedly responded.
Dong Muping had just hung up the phone when she got a phone call from Old Mrs. Wei.
Dong Muping immediately answered the phone. âAuntie.â
âHey! Muping, who were you calling for such a long time? My calls couldnât get through,â Old Mrs. Wei said.
Wei Wucaiâs father, Wei Hezhang, was the cousin of Wei Zhiqianâs father.
Wei Wucaiâs grandfather and Wei Zhiqianâs grandfather were brothers.
Wei Zhiqianâs grandfather was the eldest while Wei Wucaiâs grandfather was the second in the family.
However, Wei Wucaiâs grandparents had both passed away. Wei Wucaiâs family would usually go to Old Mr. Weiâs house for the family gathering held on New Yearâs Day.
Wei Wucaiâs family and Wei Zhiqianâs family were not on the same branch of the family tree.
Nevertheless, both families were still closely knit.
To Old Mr. Wei and Old Mrs. Wei, Wei Wucai was just like their biological grandson.
Although Wei Wucai was really their nephewâs son, Old Mr. Wei and Old Mrs. Wei had never mentioned the word nephew when referring to Wei Wucai.
They just referred to Wei Wucai as their grandson.
However, some outsiders who werenât aware of this thought that there was no place for Wei Wucai in the Wei Family.
Dong Muping smiled and said, âI was on the phone with Xiao Cai.â
âEh?â Old Mrs. Wei asked in surprise. âYou saw the news about Xiao Cai and Zhiqing, right?â
âYes, I saw it. So I called him immediately.â Dong Muping didnât hide any secrets from Old Mrs. Wei. After all, she was close to Old Mrs. Wei.
âWhat did Xiao Cai say?â Old Mrs. Wei immediately asked.
âSigh! I donât want to talk about it anymore. Xiao Cai is useless. He is good at making girls mad. Thatâs basically his talent. But when he has to court a girl, he canât do it well.â
âSigh. So are you saying that the two are not officially together?â Old Mrs. Wei asked.
âNot yet. Although Xiao Cai refused to admit it, I can tell that Zhiqing only sees him as a friend. Itâs a one-sided love,â Dong Muping said.
âBut thatâs good too. He finally has someone he likes. Itâs better than not having feelings for anyone and still wanting to work to get out of that single life but not knowing who to work hard for,â Dong Muping said.
Dong Muping wasnât speaking with any ill intent. She was just talking about Wei Wucai.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
