Wei He’s study was in the center of the third floor. It was usually locked, and only he would unlock it when he came back. In his past life, after Wei Zhe took over the Wei Family, he ended up moving his study to the open study that he usually worked in.
After all, only he and Wei Jing lived in the Wei Family. He normally would lock the door if he left the house anyway.
“Sit.” Wei He indicated for Wei Zhe to sit across him. He took out a document from his drawer and handed it to his son. “Look. If it were you, what would you do?”
Wei Zhe raised his brows. He was testing his IQ?
In front of Wei He, he didn’t need to hide. The more perfect he expressed himself, the more Wei He would value him. Not to mention…such a simple task. Wei He unintentionally curled his lips up. After he was reborn, he noticed that his IQ has indeed improved.
In his past life, he needed to look over things twice to understand, but he only needed to do so once this life.
For example, he understood the benefits and loopholes portrayed in the document by just skimming through it. He calmed down and talked about his ideas. Adding onto his advantage of being reborn and his future prospects as well as his unique ideas, Wei He’s eyes brightened at the explanation.
That’s right. This person was his successor.
The man looked at the young man with a fiery gaze, already deciding on using all of his resources to train him. Even more, he could give him some resources to allow Wei Zhe to go all out and experience in advance. He’d let him accumulate his experiences.
The two chatted in the study for a long while until it got dark. The cool autumn wind slipped in from the crack of the window, making Wei Zhe’s face pale since he wasn’t fully recovered yet. Wei He felt vexed. Wei Zhe was his treasure right now. Nothing could happen to him.
“It’s getting late. Go back and rest well. Don’t be exhausted.” Wei He’s attitude was strangely gentle.
Wei Zhe sat on his chair, his gaze idle and lazy. He eluded a careless aura. “Where did you send Wei Jing to?”
Wei He subconsciously knitted his brows, his tone full of dislike. “Why are you mentioning him? Even if others don’t know his status, don’t you know?”
“I don’t really care.” Wei Zhe acted careless, saying in disdain, “It’s just that I’ve been raising him like my own pet. But he suddenly…” He smiled gloomily, his gaze cold. “The weak little rabbit escaped and left his master behind. How can I allow that?”
He tilted his head and made eye contact with the man. “Right? Father, even if someone was going to be abandoned, I should be the one abandoning him, right?”
“He’s just a pet?” Wei He asked doubtfully.
“Of course.” Wei Zhe’s smile revealed a tint of ruthfulness and coldness. “After all, who would pamper a little brother who wasn’t related to you by blood?”
Wei He’s rough hands tapped against the cold table, revealing a thoughtful expression. “…You still want to raise this pet?”
“Mhm!” Wei Zhe thought about it before saying, “Wei Jing is a coward and likes to cry. Whenever something happens, he cowers in fear. It’s best to control a person like that. Even if I break his legs, I believe he won’t go against me. Isn’t he a very good tool to relieve stress?”
Wei He couldn’t help but reveal a cold and cruel smile after hearing Wei Zhe’s confident words.
“Really?” He said, “Okay, I’ll bring him back.”
“Father, you don’t need to do that.” Wei Zhe rubbed his wrists, his intention clear. “Let me personally ‘invite’ him back.’”
After this, Wei Zhe successfully obtained Wei Jing’s address from Wei He. He wasn’t easily deceived. He was an old crafty fox. Thankfully, he was still young, and the other party probably never thought that his body lived an experienced businessman.
Therefore, he didn’t ask too much, otherwise, it would be hard to say who won and who lost.
He obtained the address but he couldn’t go and capture him immediately.
Wei He suddenly appeared when he was changing medicines at home for the first time. He looked at the crude and sinister-looking injury by the young man’s waist, and shifted his gaze, teasing him, “Why didn’t you go capture your little pet back?”
Wei Zhe extended his hands and kept it parallel to his shoulders. The family doctor was wrapping the bandage around him. Hearing this, he casually smiled and said carelessly, “He’s just a pet that can’t escape from my clutches. Why should I go and capture him while disregarding my body?”
“That’s true.” Wei He smiled in satisfaction.
Wei Zhe knew that from this moment on, Wei He completely believed that he treated Wei Jing as a punching bag and pet.
Before this, had he expressed the least bit of anxiety, Wei He probably would’ve sent Wei Jing to a place he’d never see him.
Of course, when Wei Jing was involved, he had to be careful.
He narrowed his eyes and continued to stay at home quietly. He allowed his family tutor to teach him the knowledge that he’d already learned before up until he was fully recovered, and the stitches were removed. Then, Wei Zhe brought people over and arrived at the address Wei He gave him calmly. A middle-class neighborhood.
The moment Wei Zhe pressed the doorbell for 302, at the apartment Wei Jing rented, Wei Zhe suddenly felt a bit nervous. How would he react after seeing him? Would he break down and hug him, bawling his eyes out? Or laugh delightfully? Or both?
Wei Zhe imagined many scenes in his heart, but he didn’t expect for Wei Xiao Jing to act unusually.
The moment the door opened, he saw the slightly pale face he had been missing. His face was pale from staying at home the entire time. Before Wei Zhe could say anything, the door was closed in front of his face.
Wei Zhe was dumbfounded.
“Open the door.” He squeezed the words out. He looked at him as if he had seen a monster? What did he want to do? Rebel?
Wei Jing thought that not only was there something wrong with his eyes, he was also hallucinating. He suddenly saw his big brother standing by the door. Could it be that he missed him too much? Hearing his seemingly big brother’s voice, Wei Jing trembled, “Big brother?”
“It’s me.”
The door that was closed was opened again. Wei Jing’s fair white face glanced at the young man pitifully. He was incredibly shocked. Was he really his big brother? How did he find him?
“I’m here to pick you up.” Wei Zhe glanced at the child’s skinny body. He was thinking about having the kitchen cook up some tonics for him.
The door…closed again.
Silence filled the air.
Right now, Wei Zhe seemed to have recalled a statement on the internet. Act cute if you dare. Open the door if you dare. Open the door! I know you’re home. Open the door for me!
Wei Zhe: =.=
