“Okay, Mom shan’t disturb you anymore. I’ll leave you alone to think this through carefully. However, remember this. Even if you know that your uncle is your father, you must not express this in front of the Zhai family. Even if your father really becomes a regiment commander, if the Zhai family is unhappy, it’s very easy for them to pull your father down from that position and make us lead the lifestyle from the past, let alone that he’s just a company commander now. Remember Mom’s words. Don’t be as stupid as your grandma. We must never offend the Zhai family. Understand?”

In reality, seeing that a big shot like the Zhai family was deceived by Wei De and she was hiding the truth, Wei Xiaomei felt a contorted sense of satisfaction as she watched how the Zhai family made a fool of themselves. Even if she was a lowborn, she felt great that she had surpassed the Zhai family.

“I understand. I will definitely not bully Jiajia anymore in the future.” This time around, Wei Wei said his heartfelt words. He always felt imbalanced. Why did Jiajia have parents and such a formidable grandpa? If all of these were his, how good would that be?

Now, he knew that Wei Jiajia’s father was his father. However, the Zhai family’s blood flowed in Wei Jiajia but not him. If he dared to bully Wei Jiajia, the Zhai family would definitely not have a good impression of him. As such, his father might even be implicated by him then and wouldn’t be accepted by the Zhai family.

The Zhai family was their Wei family’s backing. They must not offend the Zhai family. “Mom, don’t worry. As long as I’m around, I’ll persuade grandma. She listens to me the most.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Seeing that her son was enlightened, Wei Xiaomei felt that the day she had been waiting for was finally here. The clouds dispersed and she could see the sun. It was fine as long as her son knew about her hardship and persistence. When she turned old and her son became successful in life in the future, her real good days would certainly come!

As such, as humans, one should always set their sights further. What meaning was there to fight for a man like Wei De, who only knew how to climb up by pulling his wife’s skirt? Raising a lovable and promising son was more useful than finding a hundred men like Wei De!

Wei De and Mother Wei didn’t know that not only did Wei Wei find out about his relationship with Wei De, but Wei Xiaomei had also shared such shocking words with Wei Wei.

After all, they had some disagreement previously. The next day, when he went to Qingshui Town to see Zhai Yaohui and the rest, Wei De regretted that he didn’t bring Wei Wei along. He thought that if there was a chance next year, he might be able to do so.

“Uncle, aunt, Jiajia, have fun. Don’t be in a rush to come back. Jiajia, don’t be angry with me. I wasn’t willing to agree in the past that girls are more mature than boys. Now, it seems like I wasn’t like an older brother at all. After you return from Qingshui Town, I’ll apologize to you and treat you to a meal. How’s that?”

Before the family left for Qingshui Town, Wei Wei happily came over to send the family of three off. He even helped Jiajia carry the suitcases and put them in the trunk of the car. Wei Wei’s hardworking attitude scared Jiajia. She had known since young that she had an older brother. However, this was the first time she encountered something like this. “Wei Wei, did you take the wrong medicine?”

This brother-and-sister pair was considered to be in a harmonious relationship if they didn’t confront each other with daggers all day. For them to love, protect, and rely on each other like how other brother-and-sister pairs were, that was something that would definitely not happen to Wei Wei and Wei Jiajia.

Wei Jiajia couldn’t help but size up Wei Wei’s face. “If you aren’t feeling well, go back to rest and remember to see a doctor.” Was Wei Wei running a fever, causing him to burn his brains?

“Thanks for your concern, Jiajia. I am pretty good and feeling great. Nothing’s wrong with me. Uncle, remember to drive carefully on the roads. Slow down and don’t hurry. Actually, Jiajia has a bit of motion sickness. If you drive and stop, stop and drive, it would be easy for Jiajia to feel uncomfortable. Uncle, you must pay more attention to her.”

Wei Wei had a total change of attitude toward Jiajia. Wei De was pleasantly surprised, let alone Jiajia, who couldn’t adapt to it. “Okay. Indeed, you’re a man who’s about to be a year older. You know how to take care of your sister and not to throw tantrums anymore. Uncle is really happy that you’re sensible. Don’t worry. Jiajia is uncle’s only precious daughter. How could I not take good care of her? Have a good time with your grandma and your mom at home. If you want to eat anything, just get your grandma to prepare them.”

If the relationship between Xiao Wei and Jiajia could be improved so that they were like biological siblings, he could worry a lot less in the future. If he wanted to bring Xiao Wei over to the Zhai family, it would become more justifiable.

He didn’t believe that Zhai Hua would reject his request. However, Zhai Hua would reject her daughter’s request if Jiajia wanted to bring Xiao Wei along. “Hua Hua, take a look. I’ve said it before that Xiao Wei was young and ignorant in the past and was probably not suited to be an older brother then. Now, he’s enlightened. Look how well he’s treating Jiajia. I believe that their relationship will keep getting better in the future. Jiajia, as an older brother, Xiao Wei has already lowered his head to you. Don’t go too overboard and bully him. It’s about time you check on your temper too.”

Upon thinking of how they used to be at loggerheads with each other, Wei De immediately warned Jiajia to not go overboard. In short, if Wei Wei was willing to lower his head, Jiajia had to accept with pleasure and not throw tantrums. All the decision rights were with Wei Wei, and Jiajia had no right to refuse.

There was something Wei Wei was right about. In this aspect, girls really matured earlier than boys.

Her biological father handed all the decision rights to Wei Wei. She was like a puppet in Wei Wei’s hands and could only react in response to Wei Wei’s actions. As such, Jiajia felt very irritated. On what basis?!

Wei Jiajia couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, actually, you’re the same as grandma. You like sons and not daughters, right?”

“Why would you say that?” Wei De felt a little guilty. Of course, daughters couldn’t be compared to sons. “Your mom and I only have you as a child. Regardless of whether you are a daughter or a son, I will dote on you the most.”

“Is that so?” Jiajia didn’t believe it. “Why don’t I feel that? I feel that you treat Wei Wei better than me.” Otherwise, why did her father never ask Wei Wei to take care of her more and not to bully her? Instead, he always asked her to understand Wei Wei and said that it wasn’t easy for Wei Wei.

Her mom said that when she was young, Wei Wei had secretly pinched her behind everyone’s back until she cried. She wouldn’t think of such a thing and wouldn’t bother herself to do it. However, Wei Wei had done so.

In her opinion, her father liked the fatherless Wei Wei more than her, the only daughter. In her father’s heart, it was obvious that a son was more valuable than a daughter.
