But in the end, the relationship between the siblings had staled because of Wei De's appearance. For so many years, Zhai Hua had never once admitted defeat to Zhai Sheng. Even now that she knew that Zhai Sheng was recuperating in the Zhai family's old villa, she had not put down her pride to visit Zhai Sheng.

If not for her daughter as an excuse this time, Zhai Hua might never have mustered up the courage to face her family again.

People were often like that. People who were typically bold and courageous often became hesitant and indecisive when it came to official matters.

"Yes." Jiajia's mood improved now that she knew she was about to meet her grandparents. Upon returning to her room, she saw that her luggage had indeed been filled. Her mom had packed all her clothes on her behalf. Thus, Jiajia simply washed up, brushed her teeth, and went to bed. She knew that she would finally be meeting relatives who were not the Wei family when she awoke the next day.

Although there was finally peace with Jiajia and Zhai Hua, there was chaos over on the Wei family's side.

Wei De had run closely behind Wei Wei the moment he ran out. He had been afraid that Wei Wei would run too quickly and that he would not be able to catch up with Wei Wei. But when he drove out of the gate, he saw Wei Wei waiting for him.

Wei De heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door for Wei Wei. "You rascal! You have such a hot temper! Do you know how worried I was when you ran out without a word? I'm glad you still have some conscience to wait here for me."

It was actually not because of his conscience but his slyness. He had expected Wei De to leave Jiajia and Zhai Hua to chase after him. It was not as though something like that had not happened in the past. Every time this happened, Wei Wei felt as though he had won against Jiajia, who had a father and a mother, and had a better life than her.

So what if she had a father? When anything happened to him, his uncle would abandon his daughter to chase after him anyway.

"Uncle, you're so good to me. How nice it would be if you were my dad." Wei Wei was not only hurt but also angry because he had always been mocked and ridiculed for being fatherless. Today, it had been his aunt, who held the highest position in their family, who had said such a thing. Wei Wei felt that he was being looked down on.

He wanted a father too. It was not as though he had chosen to be fatherless. "Just how heartless is my father. You and grandma have always been telling me that I'm an outstanding kid, but my dad doesn't want me. Uncle, I hate my dad. If he ever comes to acknowledge me as his son in the future, I'll definitely punch him. You'll have to save me then."

Wei Wei knew that it was wrong to beat other people up. If he went too far, he would even have to go to jail. But that did not matter since he had a company commander as his uncle. At that time, his uncle could even be a regiment commander! As long as no one died, it would not be difficult for his uncle to save him from jail.

Life was blissful as a second-generation official.

Upon hearing Wei Wei's hatred toward his father, Wei De's face subconsciously scrunched up. "Do you really hate your dad that much? Perhaps your dad has his own difficulties and has never given up on you. On the contrary, he might love you very much. Maybe he's done everything for your good."

Wei Wei laughed dryly. "It's okay, uncle. You've been trying to comfort me with these words for years. Do you really think I'm still a three-year-old child who will be appeased by these words? Why haven't I seen him comfort or love me when other children are ridiculing me for being fatherless? Forget it. If I'm fatherless, then so be it. In my heart, you're my father."

If his uncle became his father and was good to only him, then Jiajia would not have a father. So what if he was fatherless? He could snatch someone else's father to become his own and laugh at someone who had laughed at him!

Humph! Who was more pitiful in that case?

Wei De did not know whether to laugh or cry at Wei Wei's words. Wei Wei was still young, after all, and he was only saying such things out of spite. As such, there were some truths that he still had to hide from Wei Wei for the time being. Otherwise, he would have worked hard for nothing all this while. Only by persisting in this moment would Wei Wei have a more stable and secure future.

For a better future, it was better for Wei Wei to suffer a little now. He still had to keep some secrets to himself. Wei Wei was still young and impulsive. If Wei Wei knew who his biological father was and spilled this secret, there would be no way to salvage the situation.

Having been married for such a long time, Wei De had changed, and so had Zhai Hua. The couple knew very well how the other had changed. Wei De no longer tried to coax Zhai Hua as he had done when they had been dating, and Zhai Hua was no longer as innocent and easily coaxed or appeased as she had been in the past. The relationship between the couple had staled a long time ago, and they were now treading on thin ice. With any more agitation, Zhai Hua's mention of divorce would no longer be a mere warning but reality.

Wei De sighed. Before reaching his goals, he would have to spend some time and effort in trying to cajole Zhai Hua. Recently, he had been too self-absorbed and had forgotten how to woo Zhai Hua carefully and meticulously. That was why he had not been able to resolve the issue of Wei De's schooling.

"Xiao Wei, you're all grown up. I know that you understand quite a lot. It's just that you've been used to your grandma spoiling and pampering you that you think that your aunt should treat you well because you're the only son in the Wei family. Apart from your grandma and your parents, it's only natural that no one else will treat you well. Don't listen too much to your grandma. Your aunt has quite a fierce temper. It means nothing even if your grandma adores you to death. It'll be better for you to get your aunt to love you and take care of you like her own son. Xiao Wei, you still have a chance to do so now. Don't regret not grabbing this opportunity in the future!"

As long as Xiao Wei coaxed Zhai Hua well, he could have whatever he wanted in the future. It was true that his relationship with Zhai Hua was a little still and that it was difficult for him to get Zhai Hua to listen to him now.

If he were to anger Zhai Hua again because of Xiao Wei, he might face some trouble becoming a deputy battalion commander, let alone solving the issue of Xiao Wei's schooling. Of course, if Xiao Wei managed to gain Zhai Hua's affection through his own efforts, there would be no such troubles. "Xiao Wei, you're smart. I'm sure you know exactly what to do. Stop quarreling with Jiajia in the future. Even if you win an argument with Jiajia, the only one at a disadvantage is you." Xiao Wei should understand such a principle.

He could only suck up to an aunt like Zhai Hua. She was certainly not someone he could offend.
