In simple words, he was jealous.
Wei Jing’s heart felt chilly when he found out he was being used.
Nevermind. Who let Wei Zhe be his big brother? He’d obviously forgive him.
Different from the idle Wei Jing and Wei Mei, Wei Zhe started to become busy in the afternoon. He was starting to get tutored by the tutor hired at a high price. At the age of thirteen, he was already fluent in English and French.
Wei Jing sighed and left Wei Mei behind, returning to his own room.
He was still trying to process being reborn, this absurd event. From yesterday to today, in the short two days, he had seen his big brother, father and Wei Mei. These three people had left very deep and significant impressions in his life. Wei Jing couldn’t breath and he followed along his big brother’s footsteps, confused.
Wei Jing told himself: he couldn’t allow himself to continue like this.
Since he got the chance to live again, he must live a good life.
If his big brother needed him in the future, he would do anything for him. But…he couldn’t do the same thing as he did in his past life. He couldn’t be a vine that relies on the tree, leeching off of him.
Do business? No! He knew nothing about it.
Be a celebrity? That’s a no either! Acting skills and whatnot? That was difficult for him.
Then…there’s only art left?
Wei Jing covered his face. He was very interested in art in his past life and even attempted to learn it by himself for a while. At that time, he loved to post all sorts of chibis on his Weibo, even garnering some fans. Some publishing houses even looked for him but he rejected their offers.
Yet, in this life, he could finally start putting this to practice~
He didn’t hope to become a millionaire but he at least wanted to live a good life, and be able to support himself. Plus, the housing prices were very cheap now. He must take this chance to buy an apartment and then rent a room out. That’ll be another source of income for him!
That’s great!
Wei Jing wasn’t ambitious. He was just thinking about receiving the rent every day and then getting to spend time drawing his comics. He could also travel from time to time. In short, he would get to live according to his interest and hobbies.
He really didn’t know what he was thinking in the past. Why did he want to steal his big brother’s company? Being a president wasn’t simple! Every day, he would have to wake up early to work and go back home late. He also needed to go to evening parties to deal with old crafty foxes from time to time as well. Just thinking about the scheming made him tired.
Wei Mei felt wronged, very wronged.
He already lowered his attitude. But the two were still indifferent towards him. He hated them. That big brother was annoying and Wei Jing was even more annoying. If it weren’t him, would the big brother treat him this way?
Wei Mei grew up under his mother’s pampering. Therefore, whilst under a sudden rage, he called his mother over to pick him up, saying that he wanted to go home.
When Mother Wei heard this, she advised him to endure this and that she would come pick him up after Independence Day was over.
Wei Mei was unwilling, adding oil to the fire when telling his mother about what happened in the past two days. In the end, he especially emphasized the fact that his big brother hated him a lot and would definitely not accept him.
His mother was stunned and her tone became more serious. “…Are you saying the truth?”
Wei Mei affirmed it and added, “Mother, big brother has been ignoring me. He isn’t even willing to talk to me. Wei Jing is like a slug, always glued to big brother. I don’t even get a chance to be near big brother.”
The woman stayed silent on the other side before saying, “I know. Just endure this for a while longer. Since he doesn’t bother with you, then you can do the same. Just stay there. Mother will pick you up in a few days.”
With his mother’s approval, even though Wei Mei was still a bit unhappy, he didn’t dare to defy her in the end. He said ok.
Wei Mei’s mother was an illegitimate daughter of a small family in Shanghai. Her family had people mingling in both the police and gang circle. She had some abilities. In order to claim connections with Wei Family, they sent Wei Mei’s mother over. Because she was beautiful, she was one of the more pampered ones and had some status in the family.
Wei Mei just finished the call with his mother, then he immediately called his father.
The two chatted for a while before Wei Mei hung up, satisfied with the call.
One needed to be cruel in order to climb up the social ladder.
