Chapter 220: Her World is Getting Better
Chapter 220
"Eat," Wei Wenyi stared at the servant as she spoke.
Her eyes appeared lifeless again, cold as if devoid of human warmth.
The servant was still in shock, completely unable to process: "W-what?"
Xiao Ya wanted to speak but held back.
Then Wei Wenyi spoke again: "Need to eat, sister needs to eat."
Sister...? Though the servants were confused, the joy of Wei Wenyi speaking voluntarily was enough to overshadow everything else!
"Check the kitchen!"
"Has Second Young Miss regained some consciousness? We should make what she used to eat abroad."
Wei Wenyi frowned and interrupted: "Sister eats."
The servants quickly nodded in compliance: "Yes, yes, we'll prepare what Young Miss likes."
"Prepare what Ms. Wei Wenyu likes," Sheng Yuxiao added in a low voice.
The servants finally understood!
"Second Young Miss is treating Young Miss as..."
Sheng Yuxiao cut off the servant's words: "Go prepare it."
The servant immediately swallowed the rest of their words.
"Need hot soup," Xiao Ya finally added.
Sheng Yuxiao lowered his gaze, scanning Wei Wenyi's bare feet.
"Bring shoes and a coat."
The servant smacked their forehead: "How careless of us! Get them quickly!"
When Wei Wenqing finished dealing with the police and returned, all that awaited him was an open bedroom door and an empty room.
...Where is everyone?
Wei Wenqing was stunned.
"Young Master, the dining room, they're in the dining room," a servant quickly ran over seeing him standing there alone.
Wei Wenqing was still confused as he turned to let the servant lead the way.
When the old master was still at home, they rarely ate in the dining room. He preferred the courtyard, where he could look up at the vast sky, as if escaping the confines and oppression.
Wei Wenqing and Wei Wenjuan, the two brothers, also rarely ate in the dining room, staying in their own rooms, seldom stepping out...
Now, Wei Wenqing pushed open the dining room door.
Warm yellow light streamed down.
He saw his sister sitting at the dining table, with Xiao Ya beside her.
The entire space was quiet except for the clear sound of bowls and spoons clinking.
But this silence somehow helped calm his angry and depressed mood.
He walked over very slowly and sat down, pulling out the chair without making a sound.
But Wei Wenyi still noticed him.
"Who is he?" Wei Wenyi asked in a hoarse voice.
Wei Wenqing froze, then excitedly gestured. His sister still didn't recognize him?
Xiao Ya fed Wei Wenyi a spoonful of soup before saying: "He's Wenqing."
Wei Wenyi was caught off guard by the feeding, instinctively opening her mouth to swallow.
"Wenqing... looks strange," Wei Wenyi tilted her head, her cold eyes showing a hint of softness and confusion.
Xiao Ya choked and coughed twice.
How was young uncle strange-looking?
"His head is so big," Wei Wenyi commented, pursing her lips.
Wei Wenqing looked at his sister with tears in his eyes, typing on his phone: "Because I've grown up."
Wei Wenyi grabbed his gesturing hand and asked Xiao Ya: "Why doesn't he speak?"
After asking, Wei Wenyi took Wei Wenqing's phone, turned it over a couple times, then threw it away.
Wei Wenqing panicked and gestured frantically.
That was his tool for communication!
Wei Wenqing quickly bent down to pick it up.
Wei Wenyi stared at the back of his head as he crouched.
Hmm, this height looked more familiar.
So Wei Wenyi bent down to pat Wei Wenqing's head and asked: "Where did you go? I haven't seen you for so long."
I've been here the whole time! It's just that Second Young Miss doesn't recognize people anymore.
The servants couldn't help but tear up, feeling like crying and laughing at the same time.
"Where's brother?" Wei Wenyi asked again.
Wei Wenqing picked up his phone, thankfully it wasn't broken, and typed: "Brother is abroad, handling group affairs."
Wei Wenyi looked confused, she rubbed her temple: "Handling affairs..."
She looked at her hands, then at Wei Wenqing who had stood up: "We've all grown up."
Then she looked at Xiao Ya: "Why is sister still so small?"
Wei Wenqing didn't know how to answer.
He was afraid of saying something wrong that might trigger his sister who had just recovered a bit, so he just stood there helplessly.
Xiao Ya vaguely brushed it off: "Because I'm the sister."
The logic was barely passable.
But Wei Wenyi blinked slowly and said: "Oh."
"Wenqing, sister is very scared," Wei Wenyi looked back at Wei Wenqing, "Brother is gone, you need to help me protect sister."
Wei Wenqing's eyes welled up as he nodded vigorously.
Wei Wenyi finally relaxed a little.
She was surrounded by countless unfamiliar faces, and those "monsters"...
Now, sister had come to find her, and Wenqing was here too.
Good, her world was getting better.
Old Mr. Zhang, who had been sitting far away at the other end, couldn't help but sigh. This family had really been through a lot...
"Grandpa, can you help me handle the rest?" Xiao Ya looked up at him.
Old Mr. Zhang agreed repeatedly: "Of course, of course, grandpa will help you handle everything well, don't worry."
Then, afraid the child would feel too burdened, he quickly added: "You don't need to rush back, the matter with the sacred statue still needs investigation and handling anyway. I'll come with your uncles to see you every day."
Xiao Ya happily nodded.
By now they had finished eating, and Wei Wenyi, who couldn't see anyone else, asked: "What time is it?"
The servant said: "Almost nine o'clock."
Wei Wenyi hugged Xiao Ya and patted her while walking out: "Bedtime, sister needs to sleep to grow taller."
Wei Wenqing hadn't had enough time yet, his eyes full of reluctance to part.
Then Wei Wenyi suddenly turned back, saying calmly: "Wenqing, follow us, we need to protect sister."
Wei Wenqing was so happy he almost cried, quickly following them.
The lively Gui Family home soon returned to silence.
Until the sun rose the next day.
The servants had spent another anxious night, and more than the mess left by the nuns, they now cared about—
After a night, would Second Young Miss return to her previous state?
The servants approached the bedroom.
But the door creaked open from the inside first.
Wei Wenyi came out carrying Xiao Ya: "Sunbathing, sister needs sunbathing."
The servants let out a huge sigh of relief.
Good! This time it's really good!
"I want to walk by myself," Xiao Ya rested her head against Wei Wenyi's neck, saying softly.
"No," Wei Wenyi refused.
In the courtyard, after setting up the table, chairs and parasol, Wei Wenyi sat down and started feeding Xiao Ya steamed buns.
After the buns, she peeled nuts.
"Eat."
Xiao Ya opened her mouth.
After the nuts, she wanted to peel fruit.
The servants didn't dare give her a knife, standing aside saying: "Let me peel it, let me do it."
Wei Wenyi snatched it from them, startling the servant who could only let go.
Fortunately, Wei Wenyi was very "clear-headed" at the moment.
She peeled a large pear for Xiao Ya.
"Sister eat."
Xiao Ya frowned.
Auntie seemed better, but she really couldn't eat anymore.
Xiao Ya had to move her face closer, next to the big pear, and said: "Can't eat anymore."
Wei Wenyi looked carefully.
The child's face was only slightly bigger than the large pear.
"Oh, Wenqing eat," Wei Wenyi tossed it to Wei Wenqing, almost dropping it in the flower bed.
After sunbathing in the courtyard all morning, a servant came to invite them for lunch.
Hearing this, Wei Wenyi suddenly remembered something: "Where's father?"
Wei Wenqing's nose stung, almost crying again.
Father should see sister's current condition... let him know sister is better... so much better!
"Come, let's call father," Wei Wenqing typed.
"He's not home again?" Wei Wenyi frowned, "That's why sister is scared. Why did you all disappear for so long?"
Wei Wenqing didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Wei Wenyi didn't care about the answer to the question, and she finally let go of Xiao Ya, walking aside with Wei Wenqing alone.
Wei Wenqing was stunned, typing to ask her: "Not bringing Xiao Ya?"
"Phone call, sister easily argues with father."
Wei Wenqing wiped his eyes and nodded to show he understood.
Wei Wenyi couldn't help but ask again: "You used to talk so much, it was annoying, now, why so little?"
Wei Wenqing smiled and just held her hand.
Xiao Ya obediently waited in the courtyard, and soon Xu Ji arrived first.
When she saw Xu Ji, she let out a sigh of relief. "Does your hand still hurt?"
"It's fine." Xu Ji paused, then asked, "I heard from Yuxiao that your second aunt's condition has improved?"
Xiao Ya nodded.
Xu Ji sighed softly, "What a coincidence, isn't it? To think we uncovered such a string of events from these nuns."
"But regarding your aunt's condition, your grandfather must have consulted many doctors before. How did it get resolved so suddenly?" Xu Ji asked curiously.
"It's precisely because grandfather and the others tried for so long without success that I thought maybe taking the opposite approach might work better," Xiao Ya answered obediently.
"The opposite approach?"
Aliali: 673ebb7bc4f3f33ac4eea64c"Yes. Grandfather and uncle, they all care for aunt deeply, but why hasn't she gotten better? Because people can only truly rely on themselves, right? That's what mother taught me. People need to find their own infinite courage to stand up again."
"That's easy to say, but how can you make her realize this?" Xu Ji tilted his head. She was, after all, someone who wasn't even fully conscious.
"By making aunt feel that she was strong to begin with."
Xu Ji chuckled softly, "How interesting. You're so young, yet you understand human nature so well."
Before Xiao Ya could speak again, something suddenly shattered in the direction of the living room.
The sound was jarring.
Without a second thought, Xiao Ya ran towards it.
Wei Wenyi was having a video call with the elderly gentleman.
Wei Xuanming's eyes were slightly red, his lips pressed tight, completely silent.
Wei Wenyi pointed at the elderly man in the video with confusion: "He's not father, how did father become so old?"
