Chapter 28 - Children and Children
Liao Qiurong sometimes wondered whether her attitude towards Wei Mi came from her true heart or was she also influenced by this strange power?
At first, when Liao Qiurong learned that her newborn baby had been switched, she wanted to eat Wei Zengrong alive.
However, after hearing the other party's explanation, no matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, she had to endure it.
This is not only because the Liao family is deeply tied to the Wei family, but also because the biological parents of the child that Wei Zengrong exchanged for marriage are people that neither of their families can afford to offend.
Liao Qiurong always knew that Wei Zengrong was very career-oriented, but she didn't expect that this man had reached a crazy point in order to develop the Wei family.
He actually dared to take the risk to replace the young master of the Gu family.
Liao Qiurong didn't care what Wei Zengrong said at all. Their children would get better resources and training if they went to the Gu family. As parents, they should plan a better future for their children.
She knew that these were just excuses for Wei Zengrong's ambitions.
The purpose of swapping the two families' children was not so much to allow their son to get better resources, but rather to allow Wei Zengrong to take the opportunity to plant a seed.
A seed that, once grown, can be used to help the Wei family transcend class boundaries.
Yes, class.
Although the Wei family was considered a wealthy family in the eyes of many people, they were not ranked high in the circle at that time.
It was precisely because of this that Liao Qiurong chose to swallow her anger and tacitly agree with Wei Zengrong's advice.
What else could she do?
The children have been swapped. If this matter had been exposed at the time, would the giant Gu family let them off easily?
Liao Qiurong did not believe Wei Zengrong's hypocrisy. For her, the best comfort was that the child she had carried for ten months could grow up by her side.
But she had to consider the consequences of exposing this matter.
Letting her biological son replace the Gu family's son, grow up in the Gu family, and develop feelings with the Gu family was the best outcome Liao Qiurong could think of at the time.
In this way, even if the Gu family discovers the truth one day, they can give them a chance to survive for the sake of their relationship with the children.
As for the child who was exchanged, Liao Qiurong chose to watch coldly.
Although she knew that the child was also a victim, Liao Qiurong, who had just been forced to separate from her biological son, could not take this into consideration.
Just seeing the baby from the Gu family makes her feel uncomfortable!
Indifference was the greatest kindness she could show.
Fortunately, Wei Zengrong did not ask her to be a loving mother to this child.
In fact, Liao Qiurong only realized later that Wei Zengrong simply wanted to destroy the child without making a fuss.
The Gu family never discovered that the children had been swapped, and as time went by, Wei Zengrong's behavior became more obvious.
He has always shown his love for Wei Mi, even to the point of making Wei Yi jealous.
But what is the reality?
Liao Qiurong never dared to think about Wei Mi's experiences from childhood to adulthood.
Beneath the surface of peaceful times lies a constant stream of setbacks, the ill will of others, and sufferings both large and small...
Therefore, she was even more reluctant to have any interaction with Wei Mi.
Liao Qiurong was not as cruel as Wei Zengrong, but she would also feel physically uncomfortable when seeing these things.
But, again, what else can she do?
For the sake of her first son and the Liao family, she could only turn a blind eye to everything Wei Mi had experienced.
Liao Qiurong herself was able to survive the painful days of forced separation from her own children thanks to Wei Yi, who she gave birth to later. How could she have the leisure to care about the life and death of other people's children?
But now, Wei Mi, who once had no human nature, actually said those words to Wei Zengrong today.
He even asked them for money?
Liao Qiurong felt it was a bit mysterious.
Wei Mi, who had been trained by Wei Zengrong to be self-reliant in almost everything, now actually started asking them for money.
Judging from Wei Mi's expression, he showed no signs of embarrassment, let alone damaged pride.
Is there something wrong with Wei Zengrong's plan?
Or has Weimi been pretending all these years?
Thinking of the latter possibility, Liao Qiurong couldn't help but frown - if that was the case, then Wei Mi would be very scary.
When Liao Qiurong thought about why Wei Yi wanted to investigate what happened that night for Wei Mi, she couldn't help but start to wonder whether this was also guided by Wei Mi.
From the very beginning, she didn't think that Wei Yi and Wei Mi could become good brothers.
Because they were destined to be enemies from birth.
However, Liao Qiurong could not tell Wei Yi the truth directly, and her son just liked to play with Wei Mi, so she could only do her best to monitor and guard against him.
If there is anyone in this family who truly believes that Wei Mi is also a member of the Wei family, it is probably only Wei Yi.
Even so, can Wei Mi bear to use Wei Yi?
Liao Qiurong turned her gaze to Wei Mi, and for the first time, she looked at the real young master of the Gu family so seriously.
Noticing her gaze, Wei Mi spoke directly to Liao Qiurong again, "Mom, Dad doesn't seem to understand what people are saying. Why don't you just transfer the money to me so I can use it to thank Suda."
Liao Qiurong: ...
What does it mean to not understand what people are saying?
You might as well just say that you want to scold Wei Zengrong for being a non-human and not understanding human language.
She was in a complicated mood at the moment. She wanted to laugh at Wei Zengrong, but she also felt that Wei Mi was too cold-hearted. After all, the former had always shown his care and concern for Wei Mi on the surface.
The other party in Wei Mi's conversation was clearly Liao Qiurong, but it was Wei Zengrong who responded first.
He ignored the disrespect in Wei Mi's words and said quickly, "It's my duty. Dad will transfer the money to you right away. You must thank Miss Su."
In fact, Wei Zengrong wanted to say a few more words, but his long-term habit made him unconsciously speak with a purpose when speaking to Wei Mi.
In order to avoid being accused of ulterior motives again, Wei Zengrong simply said this and began to arrange the transfer.
Once he stopped talking, Liao Qiurong became even less able to speak.
The living room suddenly became very quiet, making the scene of calling Wei Mi back home to comfort him seem particularly funny.
The money arrived, and Wei Mi was very honest. He said on the spot that if there was nothing else, he would go home first.
Right in the Wei family's house, in front of Wei Zengrong and Liao Qiurong's parents, Wei Mi said that he wanted to go back to his own home.
If they didn't know that Wei Mi had bought a small apartment, they would have started to suspect that the other party had some hidden agenda.
Wei Mi's performance today was so unexpected that the effect Wei Zengrong had originally hoped for was no longer possible. He needed to investigate the situation, so he was in no mood to continue talking.
So, Wei Mi took Soda and left the scene openly.
But he didn't leave the Wei family immediately with Soda. Instead, he turned around and asked, "Do you want to continue visiting here?"
