189. His Sister Came To His Rescue
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
After Wei Changfeng spoke, a silence fell upon the living room.
Even though Wei Papa had weathered great storms, he was shocked speechless by his sonâs honesty. The veins on his forehead bulged. Just as he was about to lose his anger, he heard a big noise from the kitchen. Following that, Qi Leâan let out a surprised scream, âMrs. Wei! Wei Sama, come quickly!â
Qi Leâanâs throat had not been recovered, and it was worsened by the scream. His voice was unpleasantly hoarse.
The two men in the living room didnât notice that. Wei Changfeng turned pale and ran to the kitchen, followed by Wei Papa.
When they entered the kitchen, they saw Qi Leâan holding Wei Mama, who closed her eyes with trembling hands.
âMom!â Wei Changfeng took her from Qi Leâanâs arms and said, âMom, whatâs wrong?â
Wei Mama waved her hands, opened her eyes and looked at Wei Changfeng, and closed her eyes again.
Wei Papa rushed in and asked, âWhat happened?â
When Wei Mama heard her husbandâs voice, she broke away from Wei Changfeng. Wei Papa went up to support her, and the four of them walked towards the living room.
After Wei Mama sat down on the sofa, Wei Changfeng handed her a glass of water, but she didnât take it.
Wei Papa whispered, âHow do you feel? Shall I call the doctor over?â
She waved her hands and said, âNo, Iâm fine. Bring me the medicine.â
The calm look on Wei Changfengâs face was replaced by anxiety. He said, âWhy do you need to take the medicine? Whatâs wrong, Mom?â
Wei Papa glared at him and said sternly, âYour mother has hypertension. She worries about all of you.â
Wei Mama stopped him, âHey! What are you talking about?â
âWhere is the medicine?â Wei Changfeng said, âIâll go get it.â
Wei Papa told him it was in the cabinet under the TV, and Wei Changfeng quickly went to take it.
Qi Leâan stood aside at a loss, feeling regretful. He had not expected Wei Mama to pass out before he said anything.
After Wei Mama took the medicine, she felt better. Wei Papa held her hand and whispered something to her. Wei Changfeng stood stiffly on the side, and Qi Leâan had to stand with him.
After what seemed like a long time, Wei Mama got better and looked up at them. âWhy are you standing there? Are you taking a punishment?â
Wei Changfeng didnât say anything.
Wei Mama suddenly smiled and said to her husband, âLove, help me up. If they want to stand here, leave them alone.â
There was undisguised anger in her tone. Qi Leâan didnât expect that Wei Mama was so easily irritated.
Wei Papa was henpecked. He stood up and helped his wife go upstairs without any demur. When they were gone, Wei Changfeng sighed.
âWhat did Mom say to you?â Wei Changfeng asked softly.
Qi Leâan opened his mouth and wanted to speak. He found that he lost his voice again.
Wei Changfeng frowned and remembered that Qi Leâan had screamed too hard just now. He quickly poured him a glass of honey water. Qi Leâan drank it and felt the pain in his throat.
âShe asked if you go out with any girls, and I said no,â Qi Leâan said with difficulty.
Wei Changfeng took Qi Leâanâs hand and pinched it in silence. After a while, he said, âI didnât handle this well.â He was too impulsive.
He had thought Wei Papa was the difficult one to deal with, but to his surprise, Wei Mama exploded when she knew he was gay.
While Wei Papa knew something about this, he seemed to be prepared, just as Wei Changfeng expected.
Qi Leâan looked at Wei Changfengâs contemplative expression and felt confused. He asked, âWei Sama, what should we do now?â
Wei Changfeng came back to his sense and pinched Qi Leâanâs hand with a smile, âDonât worry. I have a solution.â
Wei Changfeng did have a backup plan.
Early the next morning, the eldest daughter of the family came back and shocked them with her announcement.
âIâm going to marry Changâan.â
Her mother, who had not recovered from the shock after she knew her son was gay, was overwhelmed by the news.
Wei Xinâan and Sheng Changâan had been dating for a long time, and the parents on both sides knew this was coming. But her next announcement gave her parents a mixture of happiness and sorrow.
âIt will be a shotgun marriage. You will have a grandchild in around eight months.â
Wei Xinâan was wearing a pair of high heels when she said this. She looked unruffled as if it was not a big deal.
The whole family was shocked. Wei Mama didnât have the mood to mind her sonâs business, yelling at her daughter, âWhy are you wearing high heels when you are pregnant? Take them off. The first three months are very important.â
Wei Papa, who stayed at home because he worried about his wife, said to his daughter, â I heard from Uncle Wang the other day that you are going on a business trip. Donât go then!â
Wei Changfeng looked at his sister in surprise.
Wei Xinâan smiled at her brother.
Qi Leâan quickly searched in his memories. Before he died in his last life, it was rumored that Mr. Sheng of Hua Entertainment Company was engaged.
Everything seemed to be the same as his last life.
As there was a pregnant woman who attracted all the attention, the parents no longer cared about Wei Changfeng. Wei Mamaâs attention was diverted, taking her daughter for a secret chat in her bedroom.
Wei Papa sat in the living room for a long time and suddenly sighed, âYou went to your sister for help when you got in trouble in childhood. I didnât expect you to go to her again at the age of thirty.â
Wei Changfeng smiled and said, âI didnât know she was pregnant.â
Wei Papa shook his head and looked at the young man beside Wei Changfeng.
He was young, seven years younger than his son. He knew this young man from the Internet. When the gossip went viral, he read all the long articles written by Weibo celebrities.
It was a hard time for the young man.
Wei Papa didnât know what to say. They had looked after Wei Xinâan for a few years, while Wei Changfeng was completely living on his own. He knew more about his son online than from his sonâs mouth.
He often dreamt of Wei Changfeng at a young age, and his son looked so vivid. However, in reality, he couldnât remember how his grown-up son looked like.
He was not a good father, who knew less about his son than Sheng Changâan.
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
He had rejoiced many times that his son was close with them even though they didnât spend much time with him. It was such a blessing.
âWhatâ¦what are your plans?â Wei Papa hesitated for a while and asked.
From the look of Wei Papa, Wei Changfeng knew that he had accepted them.
âLeâan has just finished shooting a blockbuster. After Christmas, he has to go back to school,â Wei Changfeng said, âIâll film the movie with Director Spear. It will take six months to one year.â
âWill you stay in New Zealand for half a year?â asked Wei Papa.
Wei Changfeng shook his head and looked at Qi Leâan with affection, saying, âWe donât plan to spend so much time on shooting in New Zealand. I came here for a short visit. Iâll go back to New York next year.â
âThis movie takes a long time. When itâs finished, Leâan will finish school. If possible, I want to try to direct a movie myself, âWei Changfeng continued.
Qi Leâan was a little surprised. Wei Changfeng didnât mention it before. It seemed that he was going to be a director.
Wei Changfeng smiled and said, âBut I canât do it now, so I need to exercise more.â
Wei Papa saw that his son had made a good plan for his life. More importantly, Wei Changfeng had included Qi Leâan in every step of his life.
Wei Papa felt that he had no reason to interfere in Wei Changfengâs life.
Since he hadnât interfered with his sonâs life in those early years, he shouldnât interfere now as well.
He had thought it through.
âIf you need money to make the movie, tell us.â In the end, Wei Papa said, â We have the money to make a few movies. Iâm going up to see your sister. Thereâs breakfast in the kitchen. Help yourselves.â
After he spoke, he went upstairs.
Qi Leâan listened to the conversation and blinked. What did this mean? Did Wei Papa agree?
Wei Changfeng said, âMy dad has a Weibo account.â
Qi Leâan was surprised that Wei Changfengâs father kept up to date with the latest trend.
âHe squeezes time to browse Weibo, so he learns the news the moment it comes out,â Wei Changfeng sighed.
Qi Leâan was dumbfounded. âDid Wei Samaâs father know about us long ago?â
âNo wonder Wei Sama was not worried.â
âBut I didnât expect Mom to take it badlyâ¦â Anxiety came across Wei Changfengâs face.
Qi Leâan held Wei Changfengâs hand and comforted him silently.
Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Leâan with tenderness. He said, âI can only say that my sisterâs baby comes at the right timeâ¦â
Qi Leâan was amused. âAre you a good uncle? When the baby is born, we need to thank him, or her, if she is a girl.â
With a pregnant woman at home, everything changed. That morning, Wei Mama had someone put the anti-skid carpet on the floor, and she didnât miss the bathroom, which was equipped with the best anti-skid facilities. She even added a few handles.
Wei Xinâan couldnât stand it after spending half a day at home.
âIâm going back for a meeting next week,â Wei Xinâan said resignedly, âI donât need these things.â
Wei Mama rolled her eyes and said, âWhy are you having meetings when you are pregnant? Ask your Dad to go. You should stay at home and take a good rest. You are well over thirty, and you are a pregnant woman at an advanced age. You need to take extra care.â
âAdvanced maternal age refers to pregnant women over thirty-five years old. Iâm only thirty-four this year,â Wei Xinâan said reluctantly.
âWhen you give birth, you will be thirty-five,â Wei Mama said, âI donât know whatâs wrong with the young people nowadays. None of them are getting married. In my opinion, you and Chengâan should have been married ten years ago.â
Wei Xinâan stretched herself out on the sofa and listened to her motherâs words with an impassive look.
Wei Mama clapped her hands and said, âBy the way, does Changâanâs mother know that youâre pregnant? We need to tell her the good news right away.â
Wei Xinâan pulled Wei Mama and said, âMom, stop. She hasnât known about it yet.â
âNo way! I have to call her. You finally did the right thing,â Wei Mama said with a smile.
Wei Xinâan was speechless.
Wei Mama left with her phone, and Wei Changfeng smiled. Wei Xinâan glared at him and stood up. âCome with me. I have something to say to you.â
Qi Leâan looked at Wei Changfeng nervously. Wei Changfeng shrugged and said, âItâs okay.â
After he spoke, he followed his sister to the garden.
