The servant brought a chair over. Wei Xuanming slowly sat down and then asked, "Do you know why I hit you?"
Wei Lin was lying on the ground, looking very respectful. He endured the pain and replied in a low voice, "Because I failed to control today's situation and almost lost the face of my family."
"Is that the only way?" Wei Wenjun couldn't control his anger and asked.
It's now, and he still has the nerve to continue to act stupid?
But Wei Lin ignored Wei Wenjun's question. He just continued to crawl on the ground, as if he was waiting for the old man to give up.
Wei Xuanming put one hand on the armrest of the chair, lowered his head and pressed his eyebrows, and asked, "Where did you bring this child back from?"
"Lijia Village, Shitou Town, Dong County, Southern Province."
"anything else?"
"She is Wenyu's child."
Wei Xuanming raised his crutch again and pressed it on Wei Lin's shoulder: "You have such a big idea. You dare not even report such a thing."
Wei Lin kowtowed heavily, and even Li Xiaoya beside him heard a "dong" sound.
"I don't dare to disappoint you again." Wei Lin's voice was filled with tears, "Your body gradually collapsed from being disappointed again and again."
"After I received the news, I immediately sent Wei Zhen to confirm, and then I went to take him home. I wanted to hide it from you for a while..."
"First, after all, the little lady grew up in a mountain village. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to everything. It will take a long time to get familiar with our suddenly extra 'relatives'."
"Secondly, back then... Wenyu left home with the young master after having a quarrel with you. None of us know what Wenyu has been through outside these years. I really I'm not sure what your attitude will be towards the young lady. Are you willing to recognize such a bloodline?"
"Third..." Wei Lin's sobs became thicker, and his whole body started to tremble, "I brought Wen Yu home, but only the bones were left. Such news, such news... Where can I Dare you risk your body?"
After Wei Lin finished speaking, he kowtowed twice and cried, "My condolences!"
The yard suddenly became extremely quiet.
Wei Wenjun was so angry that he started to tremble, but he couldn't refute Wei Lin's last words.
Yes, the old man's health is no longer what it used to be...
He was afraid of his father, and also hated his father for being unclear about people. He tolerated Wei Lin, a jackal, lurking in the house, and sometimes even hated his coldness and severity...
But he is the father after all.
Therefore, Wei Wenjun never thought about being so anxious to reveal the news of his sister's death to his father.
But what about the little duck?
She suffered so much in that poor and backward place, and even she was almost sold... but when she came back, she still had to endure Wei Lin's manipulation.
It shouldn't be like this!
"You fart!" Wei Wenjun scolded.
If he could still stand up now, he would have to kick Wei Lin.
But Wei Lin still had no reaction to Wei Wenjun's abuse.
Even Wei Xuanming didn't even look at his son.
Li Xiaoya couldn't help but gently tugged on his second uncle's sleeve and whispered: "Don't be angry."
"Why did Wenyu end up in that place? Have you figured out the whole story?" Wei Xuanming asked Wei Lin immediately.
"The police are still interrogating, and I have also sent people to investigate... The results may not be available for a while."
"Go in and kneel down." Wei Xuanming said.
Wei Lin did not argue and beg for mercy, nor was he afraid of embarrassment. He kowtowed again, then stood up and entered the door. After walking a few steps, he knelt down towards a wall again.
Wei Xuanming then looked in the direction of Li Xiaoya, and first ordered: "Send the second young master back."
Wei Wenjun frowned: "Father, what do you mean?"
"As an elder, I want to chat with my grandchildren. Is there any problem?"
"You'll scare her!"
"I think she is braver than you."
Wei Wenjun choked: "I have to stay here anyway, the little duck can't leave me."
Wei Xuan said in an obviously inhumane manner: "There is no one who cannot be left behind."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and bodyguards immediately came forward and pushed Wei Wenjun away.
"Father! Father, you can't do this!" Wei Wenjun shouted angrily.
But soon, he realized that it was of no use to his biological father. So he changed his tone and yelled: "She is only seven years old, you can't treat her the same way you treat us..."
Wei Wenjun's voice faded away and quickly disappeared outside the door.
"Are you afraid?" Wei Xuanming looked at Li Xiaoya and asked.
Li Xiaoya shook his head.
Wei Xuanming waited for a while and found that she had no intention of talking more, so he couldn't help but said: "I thought you would say, how can you be afraid after finally meeting your grandpa and your relatives."
Li Xiaoya looked at him, his eyes full of the clarity and innocence of a child, but with a hint of calmness that ordinary children don't have.
"Before today, grandpa was a stranger. Grandpa must have thought of me the same way. If I were not my mother's daughter, I would also be a stranger."
So how can attachment and trust between relatives arise as soon as they meet?
Neither the old nor the young one was excited, it was just a normal thing.
"Your second uncle protects you so much, so is he also a stranger to you?" Wei Xuanming bowed his head and asked.
"He is not, and neither is my uncle."
"Why? What's the difference between me and them?"
"My uncle endured a lot of hardships before he found Lijia Village. He cried when he saw me."
"That's because he has been meek and weak since he was a child, and he cries easily."
"My second uncle also cried and laughed when he saw me."
"That's because he's the same, everything is emotional."
"No." Li Xiaoya angrily denied Wei Xuanming's statement, "It's because they love their mother!"
"They have never seen me, but they love their mother so much that they shed tears at me because they love their mother."
"It's not because they are my mother's brothers that they become my relatives. It's because they love my mother that they are my relatives."
Li Xiaoya's thinking is very clear.
If grandpa is not a good father who loves her mother, then "grandpa" is just a stranger who has been called a stranger.
Li Xiaoya has always been very clear about this point.
Just like Sheng Yuxiao's friends.
"You think I don't love your mother?" Wei Xuanming asked.
"You don't love your mother, and you don't love your uncle either." Li Xiaoya tightened the corners of his mouth downwards.
Every word he spoke hurt his uncle and repeatedly aggravated his psychological shadow.
For a moment, the servants in the yard looked at Li Xiaoya in horror. Why does this kid dare to say anything?
"You are not only complaining for your mother, but also for your uncle." Wei Xuanming's face darkened, "Your uncle doesn't even dare to complain for himself..."
Wei Xuanming paused and stared at Li Xiaoya's face carefully.
I found that she still didn't flinch at all.
Wei Xuanming squeezed out a laugh: "Okay! You are better than them all!"
He stood up and said, "Come in with me."
Li Xiaoya followed him into the living room, where Wei Lin was still kneeling.
Wei Xuanming approached with a cane and said to Wei Lin, "I didn't do anything in the hotel today. I already saved your face."
"I know." Wei Lin said movedly.
"But for making such a big mistake, I can save your face, but your punishment cannot be less. Please stop taking action on the company's affairs for a week."
"I know you've already opened up a lot of things."
Wei Xuanming turned to Li Xiaoya and asked, "Are you seven years old? Have you read any books?"
Li Xiaoya nodded: "Student, in third grade."
Wei Xuanming nodded secretly.
She complained, but she would not ignore his questions in anger.
In comparison, Wei Wenjun is more childish.
"It seems that we have to thank the country for moving the Hope Primary School to a remote mountainous area." Wei Xuanming sighed and said, "The transfer procedures must be completed. After they are completed..."
Wei Xuanming stared at Wei Lin and said, "You are responsible for sending her to school. From now on, no matter who is acting recklessly in front of her, you have to block her. Don't let others think that we are easy to bully."
Wei Lin nodded in agreement.
"Kneel down for another hour." After Wei Xuanming finished speaking, he led Li Xiaoya upstairs.
In the huge study room, in an instant, only the grandfather and grandson were left.
"What did your uncles tell you? That Wei Lin was ambitious and arrogant? That he killed your mother?" Wei Xuanming paused.
"Do you think now that I let Wei Lin off lightly and the punishment I gave him was not enough? Do you want to complain for your mother and your uncle more?" Wei Xuanming asked again.
There was a trace of doubt in Li Xiaoya's eyes: "Isn't he the one who harmed my mother?"
"It's true that he is ambitious and wolf-hearted. But he may not be the one who harmed your mother." Wei Xuanming's eyes were slightly cold, "Your mother... your mother had a boyfriend before she disappeared. After she disappeared, This boyfriend has completely lost his voice and left no trace. This person is more suspicious. Of course, these are not things you can take care of at your current age. "
"Starting tomorrow, you move here and don't live with your uncles. They will only teach you weakness."
"Crying can't solve any problem. Your opponent won't be soft-hearted because you cry. They will only think that you are easier to bully. That's how the world is."
After Wei Xuanming finished speaking, he pressed the bell at hand.
A servant came in immediately.
Wei Xuanming said to them: "This is the little lady. From today on, she will live here. Take her to her room."
The servant nodded, took Li Xiaoya's hand and took her out.
When Li Xiaoya walked to the door, he turned back and said, "Grandpa loves his mother. He doesn't cry because he thinks crying can't solve the problem. Is that right?"
Wei Xuanming had never had his complex emotions exposed like this in person.
He fell into silence, waved his hand, and asked the servant to take Li Xiaoya away.
Wait for the bedroom to return to silence.
Wei Xuanming just made a phone call and went out, and his tone became more energetic: "Old friend, I still want to meet the doctor I mentioned before. I suddenly want to live."
