Of course her mother-in-law would not mind since she was only bringing Jiajia along, and not Xiao Wei. "We're bringing only Jiajia?" Zhai Hua was clear about the Wei family's intentions.

An unmarried daughter had given birth to a son out of wedlock. The Wei family had been rather funny. Even now that Wei De was already a company commander, they had never thought of finding that irresponsible father of Wei Wei to give him a complete family. Instead, they had excitedly taken Wei Wei, who was the son of some unknown man, as the grandson of the Wei family and had even treated Wei Wei better than Jiajia.

All these years, Zhai Hua had accumulated quite a lot of pent-up anger.

It was exactly because of how much the Wei family adored Wei Wei that Zhai Hua knew that the Wei family would stop at nothing as long as it benefitted Wei Wei. No matter how shameless they had to be, they would still do it for Wei Wei's sake.

The Zhai family's background was simply too enticing. There was no way the Wei family would be able to control themselves and not let Wei Wei try to get connected with the Zhai family. Thankfully, Zhai Hua could rest assured about this.

Even after Wei De had married her, all the Zhai family had done was help Wei De get into the position of a company commander. Wei Wei? There was no way the Zhai family would be willing to help him out. If Wei Wei really wanted to get into the military, he had to strive hard for it. There was no way the Zhai family would interfere.

In that way, even though Zhai Hua had a clear idea about what the Wei family was up to, she had never expressed any opinions. She knew that the Zhai family would never agree to it. If she were to disagree with the Wei family, she would be ostracized by her mother-in-law for several days. It was all right for her to be treated in this manner, but Zhai Hua was not going to let her daughter, Jiajia, be implicated and be ostracized as well.

"You're indeed Xiao Wei's good aunt." Wei De was overjoyed that Zhai Hua had taken the initiative to talk about Wei Wei. Because the Zhai family had not completely accepted him as a son-in-law, Wei De had rationally decided not to bring Wei Wei along. But Zhai Hua was different. Zhai Hua was the daughter of the Zhai family, a precious gem in the Zhai family's eyes, after all.

If Zhai Hua was the one who decided to bring Wei Wei along, the Zhai family would have to endure it even if they were unhappy about it. If they could not do so, their anger would be directed at Zhai Hua anyway. There was no way he would be implicated in the matter. After all, he had gotten an opportunity recently. As long as the Zhai family was willing to help him out, he would be promoted to a deputy battalion commander and would be one step closer to becoming a regiment commander.

"Do you mean that you want to bring Xiao Wei along as well?"

"No." Zhai Hua rolled her eyes. Did he really think she was that same fool she had been ten years ago? "I'm just curious because you didn't mention Wei Wei this time. Our whole family knows just how much emphasis you and your mom place on Wei Wei. Since you've discussed it with your mom and have decided not to bring Wei Wei along this time, I'll definitely respect your decision."

When she was at home, Jiajia did not always get things that Wei Wei had. This time, Jiajia had the chance to go to the Zhai family's house, while Wei Wei did not. It would definitely help sort out some of her daughter's feelings.

"Neither of us feels that it's unsuitable for Xiao Wei to go. We're just afraid that your parents might be unhappy seeing Wei Wei around. Of course, if you're willing to speak well of Xiao Wei in front of your parents, we can definitely bring Xiao Wei along." At this moment, Wei De had the urge to call Wei Wei over to cajole Zhai Hua.

"I think that you're both right. My parents will definitely be unhappy seeing Xiao Wei. It's the new year. Let's not do something that will anger my parents. If we're going to anger them, we might as well spend the new year at home ourselves." Zhai Hua was no fool and was not going to take the bait.

When she had first met Wei Wei, Zhai Hua had treated him well. But later on, he had been pampered by the Wei family so much that he became a bully. The moment Jiajia was born, he was so envious of Jiajia that he started bullying her.

Before Jiajia had started on solids, she had not been able to speak yet and was always crying. Zhai Hua had been worried and had thus sent Jiajia to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor who examined Jiajia said that Jiajia was in good health. It was just that the young nurse had found some bruises on Jiajia's body when she had undressed her. Those marks looked like they were from pinches, but the prints were so small that they could not have been an adult's.

Afterward, Zhai Hua had even caught Wei Wei right in the act of pinching Jiajia. It was then that Zhai Hua had decided to give up her passion for the military to take care of her daughter.

Not only was the Wei family aware of Wei Wei bullying Jiajia, but Mother Wei had even defended Wei Wei by saying that it was because Wei Wei loved his younger sister so much that he was touching her. She was basically saying that it was only because Wei Wei had been unable to control his strength that he had accidentally hurt Jiajia. Children were unaware of their own strengths, after all.

Although many years had passed since that incident, Zhai Hua had never once forgotten about it as a mother. From then on, Zhai Hua's attitude toward Wei Wei underwent a complete change, and she never took the initiative to interfere in Wei Wei's matters. It was always Wei De who dealt with any matters regarding Wei Wei. Even if Wei De asked for her help, she would always push the responsibility away.

When Wei Wei grew a little older and understood what was going on around him, he gradually realized that the person who ruled the family might be his grandma, but the most powerful and impressive person in the family was actually his aunt, Zhai Hua. However, Zhai Hua refused to accept Wei Wei's flattery at this point in time.

Now that Wei De was praising Zhai Hua as Wei Wei's good aunt and that she did everything with Wei Wei in mind, Zhai Hua refused to accept it. She would have to put in a tremendous amount of effort to be worthy of that praise.

She was still in the right state of mind. There was no way she was going to accept such flattery.

"You're still angry at Xiao Wei. No wonder Xiao Wei told me that his aunt doesn't like him." Wei De's head hurt. It did not mean that he had forgotten about it just because he had not mentioned it.

Xiao Wei had truly been spoiled by his mom. Just because Zhai Hua had turned all her attention to Jiajia the moment the latter was born and no longer treated him as well as she did before, he had been upset and had bullied Jiajia. From then on, Zhai Hua had never bothered about Xiao Wei.

When he first brought Xiao Wei to Ping Cheng, Zhai Hua had been the one to arrange for Xiao Wei to attend kindergarten. From then on, Zhai Hua refused to help him anymore. Although Xiao Wei was not attending a terrible school, it was much worse than he had expected.

He had not treasured it while he was young. Now that he was older and knew how much of an impact his school would have on his future, it was too late. Zhai Hua no longer cared about Xiao Wei and had turned her attention to Jiajia alone.

"You know very well that I'm only his aunt, not his biological mother. Isn't it normal for me to dislike him for bullying Jiajia? To me, he can't compare to Jiajia. Even his biological father doesn't like him and doesn't want to be with his mom. It's even more normal that I don't like him." The man who fathered Wei Wei had abandoned him so mercilessly. Not to mention how Wei Wei had once bullied her daughter.
