Chapter 943 - Turn the Tables
Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion
Fortunately, Yuan Keqing and Wei Keli got together.
With their relationship with the Wei family, Yuan Zhengwen couldnât easily let another woman take her place.
However, she still felt that having a son was safer.
Unfortunately, at her current age, it was still a little difficult for her to give birth again.
Yuan Zhengwen fooled around outside all day and didnât return home.
Even if he came back at night, they would sleep in separate rooms.
Xu Mingjing couldnât do anything, so she could only play on her own.
When she had nothing to do, she would go out to play cards and forge fake friendships with rich ladies. They would go shopping and go to parties together.
She would also keep a close watch on Yuan Zhengwen and prevent him from getting too attached to any woman.
She would always pay attention and prevent others from having a chance to conceive Yuan Zhengwenâs child.
Xu Mingjing was even thinking of finding a way to sterilize Yuan Zhengwen so that no matter how much he fooled around, he would not have another child.
âDad, why are you home?â Yuan Keqing asked in surprise.
She was wearing high heels, so it was easy for her to remove them.
She extracted her feet from the high heels and put on the slippers that the helper had just handed her. Then, she walked in.
âI want to rest at home today,â Yuan Zhengwen raised his head from his phone and asked, âWhy are you back today?â
Yuan Keqing lived with Wei Keli, so she rarely came home.
Compared to him staying at home, Yuan Keqingâs return today surprised Yuan Zhengwen even more.
Yuan Keqing remembered that she had gone to scheme against Tan Jinyi behind Yuan Zhengwenâs back.
She was a little afraid of Yuan Zhengwen. She was afraid that he would lose his temper and attack her.
To be honest, when Yuan Keqing lived in this house, she had hoped that Yuan Zhengwen would not go home and just lived outside.
At least this way, while she was at home, she did not have to worry about Yuan Zhengwen. She was worried that Yuan Zhengwen would be like a ticking time bomb and lose his temper at any time.
She felt much more relaxed when she moved in with Wei Keli.
Although she looked down on Wei Keli now, she still felt that Wei Keli was much stronger than Yuan Zhengwen.
Therefore, Yuan Keqing naturally didnât dare to tell Yuan Zhengwen the truth.
So, she pushed all the responsibility to Wei Keli.
Anyway, didnât Wei Keli also push all the responsibility to her when they were at his house?
She had already accepted it.
In that case, Wei Keli would help her block Yuan Zhengwen.
âItâs all Wei Keliâs fault. Because Tan Mo rejected him before, he has been holding a grudge,â Yuan Keqing said, âSo this time, I contacted the marketing account and encouraged a painter named Shan Zhaowei to defame Tan Jinyi. He said that Tan Jinyi gave his painting âBroken Continentâ up to make an opening scene, which was inappropriate.â
âActually, if it were up to me, this was a small matter. Why did he have to make such a big deal out of it? Besides, Tan Jinyiâs teacher, He Haoyan, and his uncle-master, Dong Yanzhen, had come out to support him. Tan Jinyi didnât suffer any losses at all.â
âBut the Tan family refused to let it go. Wei Zhiqian sent people to investigate, and they found out that Wei Keli was involved. They found his chat records with the marketing accounts on his computer. This time, the evidence was conclusive. He could not deny it. After being punished by Wei Zhiqian, apart from not being expelled from the Wei family, everything else was gone. The Wei family took back all the resources and material support they gave him in the past, such as property.â
âI came back today because I want to discuss some matters. Should I still be with Wei Keli?â Yuan Keqing asked, âJust before I came back, Wei Keliâs parents also talked to me. âHis father said that apart from the Wei familyâs gifts, many of the things in his hands were his own businesses outside. Those are all his own. The Wei family canât take them back, nor can they interfere.â
âThose are all left for Wei Keqing.â Yuan Keqing told Yuan Zhengwen and Xu Mingjing what Wei Zhijian had told her.
âAs I listened, I felt that it made sense, so I wasnât sure whether I should break up with him or not,â Yuan Keqing said.
Yuan Zhengwen put down his phone and frowned.
âThe Wei family really removed all their support for him?â Yuan Zhengwen thought for a moment and said, âBut Wei Zhijian is right. As long as Wei Keli is still in the Wei family, his name alone is enough to be worth a lot of resources.â
âMoreover, Wei Zhijian didnât lie. He does have a few companies that belong to him. They are all pretty good, and the Wei family canât manage them,â Yuan Zhengwen said, âIn the Wei family, other than heirs like Wei Zhiqian, the others will start their own businesses outside and use their connections in the Wei family to make profits for their own businesses. Itâs much better than working in the Wei familyâs company.â
âSo, dad, you mean...â Yuan Keqing asked.
âThereâs no need to break up with him now. Letâs see how much Wei Zhijian can fulfil his promise first,â Yuan Zhengwen said, âEven if the Wei family doesnât support Wei Keli, donât they still have Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong? How can we break up if we donât scrape something off them? Then wouldnât you have suffered for nothing?â
Yuan Keqingâs heart skipped a beat.
Yuan Zhengwenâs words made it seem as if she was a commodity to be used for profit.
It really made her feel uncomfortable.
âIf Wei Zhijian can arrange a job for you, allowing you to act as the second female lead for your first time in the production team, and you can even have additional scenes, then he will definitely be able to give you the role of the female lead. You can even pick the director and the script yourself. They still want me to support Wei Keli, so they will have to make some sacrifices.â
Wei Zhijianâs family was scheming against Yuan Zhengwen, but they didnât know that Yuan Zhengwen wasnât stupid.
The reason why they agreed to invest in Wei Keli was actually because they wanted to turn the tables on them.
âBesides, isnât Wei Zhijian going to hand over all the properties in his hands to Wei Keli?â Yuan Zhengwen said, âLetâs see. Since Wei Zhijian has so many resources in his hands, who else can he give them to if not his son? In that case, they wonât have to rely on our family much.â
âWe should reduce our investment in Wei Keli,â Yuan Zhengwen said. âLetâs see how Wei Keli is doing first.â
Xu Mingjing nodded. âNo matter what, Wei Keli is still a member of the Wei family. This is very rare. When our family interacts with others, thereâs no need to mention Wei Keli. Just mentioning the Wei family will be of great help to our family.â
âThatâs right.â Yuan Zhengwen nodded.
Because Yuan Keqing had successfully taken down Wei Keli, Yuan Zhengwenâs temper had receded recently.
They were also more pleased with Yuan Keqing and Xu Mingjing.
âEver since you and Wei Keli got together, my companyâs business has become much smoother,â Yuan Zhengwen said proudly, âNo wonder so many people are rushing to get into the eight great clans. We are not even legitimate in-laws of the Wei family, yet we still receive so many benefits.â
