“What are you laughing at?” Did he find this amusing? She didn’t like competing with his mother!
Wait, what was she thinking? Competing with his mother? For him?
She quickly tapped her forehead twice. Stay clear, stay clear!
“No matter which of my brother or I come back, she’ll mistakenly think I’m my dad.” He spread his hands. “Fourteen years ago, after being deeply traumatized, she can’t distinguish between reality and illusion.”
“Does she… she…” Crazy? However, she didn’t have the courage to say those last two words.
He took her hand and walked towards the nearby fields.
At a glance, it was all lush green, some with naturally vibrant life, some carefully cultivated into neat vegetable plots, equally pleasing to the eye. This was where he grew up. After experiencing a major upheaval, he had been lying low here, preparing to spread his wings and create a peak.
“Want to hear our story after leaving that villa?”
“Want to.” Of course she wanted to!
“When my mother was unconscious, sixteen-year-old me, twelve-year-old Wei Zheng Hai, and ten-year-old Wei Fang Yu were all kicked out. We didn’t know where to go because Wang Jin Qiang and others had fabricated charges, completely confiscating my father’s assets, even losing the villa.”
“Same night?”
“Same night.”
How cruel!
“We had to stay at the servants’ homes temporarily, but within three days, Second Madam came.”
“Second Madam?”
“When all relatives were avoiding us, she took the initiative to find us. Actually, she had started her journey right after seeing the news. The reason she didn’t meet us until the third day was that she couldn’t find us in the first two days.”
“I guess she must have first gone to look for your relatives.” Qing Yan snapped her fingers. “But couldn’t find anyone.”
“Exactly, and each family came with a round of scolding. After finding us, she immediately took charge of my father’s funeral, then told us she had a house in the countryside where we could live.”
He pointed to the brick house behind him, which looked old but still solid.
But, isn’t she your grandfather’s concubine?” In her impression, weren’t the main wife and concubine supposed to be irreconcilable? Wei Zhanyi’s mother was born to the main wife!
