Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 221

Wei Wenqing quickly gestured to the elderly man on the video call, indicating—

Wei Wenyi now remembered, but not completely.

At this moment, Wei Xuanming also saw Xiao Ya come in.

Just as Xiao Ya was about to speak, Wei Xuanming finally said, "Xiao Ya, no need to correct her, let it be."

"Let it be," he repeated.

Wei Wenyi suddenly interjected, "He's indeed not father. Father wouldn't be this easy to talk to."

Wei Wenqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sister, let's go," Wei Wenyi took Xiao Ya's hand and walked out.

When Xiao Ya looked back, Grandfather had already ended the video call.

Grandfather, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, looked very tired, extremely tired.

Xiao Ya was a bit worried.

Why didn't they correct Auntie?

Was this enough to satisfy Grandfather? Or perhaps... Grandfather felt that Auntie didn't need to recognize him, as recognition might bring even greater pain?

Xiao Ya broke free from Wei Wenyi's hand and ran back to Wei Wenqing's side.

"Sister? What's wrong?" Wei Wenyi turned back puzzled.

Xiao Ya had already grabbed Wei Wenqing's sleeve: "Uncle, is Grandfather very seriously ill? What illness is it exactly?"

Wei Wenqing was caught off guard by such a direct question, he didn't even have time to make up a lie.

Fortunately, he was mute, so staying silent now seemed reasonable, right?

Wei Wenqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Ya gripped his sleeve tighter and said softly, "Adults always have their reasons for their decisions, but thinking too much often leads to decisions they'll regret."

Wei Wenqing was touched but continued to play mute.

Little Uncle is too obedient, Xiao Ya bit her lip.

Then she decided to make the decision for him: "Let's take Auntie to see Grandfather tomorrow!"

Wei Wenqing's eyes widened, and he hurriedly started typing.

But by then, Xiao Ya had already run off quickly, catching up with Wei Wenyi and leaving with her aunt's hand in hers.

However, it's fine... as long as he doesn't tell them where Father is, Xiao Ya won't be able to find him!

Wei Wenqing thought with relief and quickly followed them.

But just as he caught up, he heard Xiao Ya asking Wei Wenyi: "Sister, who are the people who have been by Father's side the longest?"

When it came to this, Wei Wenyi's mind was very clear, she slowly named: "Shen Bo."

"Who else?"

"Guan Yuanliang, Liao Chengwen..."

Xiao Ya nodded: "I understand now."

Wei Wenyi tapped her head and asked: "Why are you suddenly asking about this... did they make you angry?"

Xiao Ya shook her head, but her words were meant for Wei Wenqing: "If Father is sick and won't see anyone, we can find him by following them."

Wei Wenyi frowned: "So Father is sick, that's why he looks different."

Xiao Ya nodded.

Behind them, Wei Wenqing felt his vision go dark.

The little one was too clever; nothing could be hidden from her.

Now only "Guan Yuanliang" remained regularly by Father's side. He was Father's confidant who reported matters to him periodically.

If Xiao Ya followed him, she would indeed find Father!

Wei Wenqing sighed and quickly went forward to tug at Xiao Ya's hand, making a few gestures before typing for her to see.

"Don't follow them, I'll take you"

Xiao Ya immediately broke into a smile and nodded: "Mm, no going back on your word."

Wei Wenqing shook his head indicating he wouldn't.

Only then did Xiao Ya continue: "Actually, following them might not necessarily lead us to Grandfather."

Wei Wenqing froze for a moment.

Xiao Ya pulled at him and whispered in his ear: "Someone like Uncle Guan who's always by Grandfather's side must be very capable. If I tried to follow him, he'd definitely notice."

Wei Wenqing moved his lips, so...

"Uncle, it's okay to be tricked by me, but don't let others trick you!" the little one said with a slight hint of guilt.

Wei Wenqing widened his eyes in shock.

"Are you two whispering?" Wei Wenyi peered over.

Wei Wenqing waved his hand, gesturing "let's go."

It wasn't until they walked back to the courtyard that Wei Wenqing's shock finally dissipated.

Xiao Ya looked back at him, suddenly tugged at his sleeve again, pulled him down a bit, and said: "Actually, I was able to trick Uncle only because Uncle loves me very much and doesn't guard against me."

Wei Wenqing felt warmth in his heart hearing these words and couldn't help but smile slightly.

But what Xiao Ya said was very true: it's okay to be tricked by her, but he can't let others trick him!

He would remember this well!

Meanwhile, Xu Ji was still waiting in the courtyard.

Wei Wenqing became a bit nervous upon seeing him. He's a stranger, wouldn't Wenyi be afraid?

Xiao Ya was also a bit worried.

But before she could ask Xu Ji to step aside, Wei Wenyi glanced at Xu Ji and... had no reaction at all!

The servants were overjoyed: "Second Young Miss has really improved a lot, she's not afraid of strangers anymore."

Xu Ji chimed in: "That's because I obviously look like a good person."

Xiao Ya looked at his cast and added an explanation: "It's because you look like someone who's been beaten up, not someone who would beat others. You look weak."

Xu Ji: ?

Xu Ji snorted with a laugh and asked back: "Who did I get injured for?"

Xiao Ya answered honestly: "For me."

Xu Ji sighed: "The medical expenses..." He hadn't finished asking about them.

Xiao Ya had already spoken first: "But don't fight anymore in the future."

Xu Ji chuckled: "Then what should we do if we encounter similar situations in the future?"

Xiao Ya said seriously: "Grab me and hit them with me, my bones are very hard."

Xu Ji bent down to squeeze her wrist, and like a child himself, earnestly agreed: "Yes, they are very hard indeed."

Xiao Ya asked him again: "Are you still in pain?"

Xu Ji wanted to say "it hurts," but when the words reached his lips, he remembered her big bag of Chinese medicine.

But that Doctor Du wasn't in Jin City anyway...

After his thoughts went full circle, Xu Ji still smiled and said: "It hurts a little."

A little.

Meaning it hurts, but not enough to need medicine.

Xiao Ya raised her eyes to look at him: "Want me to blow on it?"

That's how you comfort children!

But Xu Ji still extended his cast-covered arm forward slightly.

Xiao Ya tilted her head and blew gently into the gaps of the cast.

"All better!" Xiao Ya patted the back of his hand, "I'll buy medicine for you, you need to get better soon."

Xu Ji: "..."

Why still buy medicine?

"You're having a meal, right? I can see your family has a harmonious atmosphere, so I won't disturb you." Xu Ji left as soon as he said this.

Xiao Ya blinked and made a call to Sheng Yuxiao.

Not long after she finished her call, Xu Ji also called Sheng Yuxiao: "You had time to visit Xiao Ya yesterday, do you have time to pick up your uncle today?"

"Yes, wait there." Sheng Yuxiao was brief and to the point.

Xu Ji waited for about ten minutes, and as soon as Sheng Yuxiao's car arrived, he got in and asked: "What's up? Were you caught by teachers skipping class to be this late?"

"Went to buy some medicine, took some time."

"Medicine? Do you have a cold?" Xu Ji realized it wasn't that simple as soon as he asked.

He suddenly turned stiffly: "Don't tell me it's medicine that Xiao Ya asked you to buy for me?"

Sheng Yuxiao gave a slight nod.

Xu Ji reached out his hand, accepting it while asking: "If I throw it in the trash now..."

Aliali: 673eba99c4f3f33ac4ee9836Sheng Yuxiao silently stared at him.

"Alright, I get it, can't throw it away." Xu Ji's smile disappeared as he firmly gripped the bag.

"Won't you open it and look?" Sheng Yuxiao raised an eyebrow.

"Is there any need?" Xu Ji asked back, but still opened the bag.

"Calcium tablets?... Just calcium tablets?"

Seeing his expression, Sheng Yuxiao finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Xu Ji: "..."

He discreetly gritted his teeth: "Your little duckling is now black sesame flavored."

"I like black sesame filling."
