Chapter 242 Wei Chizheng's Vulnerability
Seeing Xie Nanzhi's expression, Wei Chizheng followed her gaze to the caller ID.
It's Wei Huaibo.
Xie Nanzhi had heard Mu Lin mention the matter between Wei Huaibo and Wei Chizheng, but in the end, he was also Wei Chizheng's father.
Since Wei Chizheng did not express his opinion, Xie Nanzhi could guess his true thoughts.
She pressed the answer button and deliberately turned on speakerphone. Wei Huaibo's voice came through the phone, "Miss Nan, it's me, A-Zheng's father."
Xie Nanzhi's expression was somber. "Um, is there something you need?"
Wei Huaibo took a deep breath. "The New Year is just around the corner, and I'd like to see the two children. Is that convenient?"
Xie Nanzhi gave birth to her child three years ago, and it's almost the fourth year. This is the first time Wei Huaibo has taken the initiative to see the child.
To be honest, if Wei Huaibo had cared for both children after they were born, Xie Nanzhi wouldn't have stopped him.
After all, he is the child's biological grandfather.
Their feud should not involve the next generation.
Now, almost four years have passed, and Wei Huaibo has only just remembered the two children. Xie Nanzhi must feel a little uncomfortable about this.
Xie Nanzhi frowned slightly. "Let's skip seeing the child. After all, your grandchildren aren't just my children. You can enjoy having your grandchildren around you just the same."
Wei Huaibo paused, then remained silent for a moment, "Miss Nan, there are indeed some grudges between us, but in the end, I am also the children's grandfather, and blood ties are not something you can sever."
See, they're still so assertive.
His earlier vulnerability was merely a tactic to deceive her; his true nature was revealed in just a few words.
Xie Nanzhi laughed in anger, "Really? But didn't you just abandon your own son like that? Besides, the two children are almost four years old. If you really cared about them, you would have contacted me long ago, instead of waiting until now."
Pei Jingchuan knew about the two children, and Wei Huaibo naturally knew as well.
In one sentence, Wei Huaibo was rendered speechless.
The two faced off in silence. The next second, Wei Chizheng snatched her phone and hung up.
Xie Nanzhi looked at him. His face was gloomy, and his deep-set eyes and brows were filled with repression, like a taut string hanging in mid-air. Xie Nanzhi didn't dare to touch him.
After a long while, she gently nestled in his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist, and said, "Wei Chizheng, my heart aches for you."
She felt sorry for his courage, his helplessness, and his pain.
Suddenly, Wei Chizheng's stiff body trembled slightly, and he hugged her tightly in his arms. "Nanzhi, I hate him. He killed my mother."
Xie Nanzhi knew the general outline of what happened, but only by hearing the details from Wei Chizheng could she truly understand the pain he had endured.
Wei Chizheng told her that his mother was forcibly taken back by Wei Huaibo, and that he was merely a product of coercion.
Therefore, his mother disliked him and never even hugged him when he was a child. Worse still, she would transfer her hatred for Wei Huaibo onto Wei Chizheng.
She called him a bastard and said he should have been strangled when he was born.
At an age when he should be feeling the love of his parents, Wei Chizheng was in hell. It can be said that he never felt the love of his father or mother.
But at least, my mother was still alive then.
Until the day he returned home, his mother fell before his eyes.
"I have never seen so much blood, and I never imagined that there could be so much blood in a person's body. The air was filled with the smell of blood. I will never forget that scene."
By the end, Wei Chizheng's voice was trembling.
It turns out that even the usually strong Wei Chizheng has such a vulnerable side.
She wanted to reach out and smooth the deep wrinkles between his brows, but she was afraid of disturbing his vulnerability.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't imagine what kind of torment had made him get used to hiding his emotions deep inside, like a wounded beast licking its wounds alone in the dead of night, even its whimpers had to be hushed.
She kissed his cheek, her gentle palm tracing his angular face. "Wei Chizheng, you have me now. You're not alone anymore."
Wei Chizheng lowered her eyes to meet his gaze. Her eyes shone with a burning light, just like the one she had seen when she was twelve years old.
From that moment on, Xie Nanzhi became his salvation.
Wei Chizheng forced a smile, not wanting her to worry, "Yes, I'm not alone anymore. I have you, and we have our child."
He said with deep gratitude, "Zhizhi, thank you for giving me a home."
Xie Nanzhi smiled and playfully straddled his lap, hooking her arms around his neck. "So, how are we going to spend the Spring Festival this year? This is our first Spring Festival together."
Xie Nanzhi distracted him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "My dear sir, you must prepare a New Year's gift for me."
Wei Chi looked at her with doting eyes, his heart and soul only for her. "Okay, I'll follow my wife's lead."
The two lingered for a while longer, until it was already afternoon.
When Xie Nanzhi came out of the bedroom, her son's gaze remained fixed on her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Did she offend him?
Xie Nanzhi was completely confused, but later learned the truth from Wang Shufen.
The little one is jealous because ever since Wei Chizheng joined the family, she's been monopolized all the time. Nian Chi says that this jerk is here to break up the family and steal his mommy away.
After hearing this, Xie Nanzhi found it both funny and a little sad.
So that evening, I specially cooked my son's favorite plum-flavored spare ribs and my daughter's favorite cola chicken wings. Only then did I manage to see my son smile.
It's too difficult.
Being a wife is hard, being a mother is even harder.
Meanwhile, in the capital city.
After Wei Huaibo was ruthlessly hung up on, he looked gloomy. It took the housekeeper a while to dare to speak, "Master, does that woman refuse to let you see the child?"
Wei Huaibo snorted coldly, "This woman is so uncouth, with such a narrow mind, it would be strange if she could raise children well."
The two children are almost four years old. The reason Wei Huaibo hasn't contacted her is that he thinks Pei Jingchuan can give him a great-grandchild.
So much time has passed, and he has found many women from respectable families to modify their bodies, but these women just can't get pregnant.
Wei Huaibo gradually lost confidence and accepted the fact that Pei Jingchuan was infertile. Only then did he remember Xie Nanzhi's two children.
Even without a paternity test, he only glanced at the boy's photo, which was enough to confirm that the boy was Wei Chizheng's child.
Because they look so alike, they are exactly like Wei Chizheng when he was a child.
Pei Jingchuan was likely going to die without an heir, so these two children were his only hope.
Suddenly, Wei Huaibo started coughing violently, and Butler Zhou immediately brought him water.
Wei Huaibo took a sip, and Butler Zhou patted him on the back. "Master, you must take care of yourself. The Wei family cannot do without you."
Wei Huaibo paused for a while, then his eyes became even sharper. "That woman is not worthy of raising our Wei family's child. Think of a way to get custody of the child."
