"Scarlett? Wei Sijia? I, I am your uncle, your dear uncle!"
An excited man's voice came from the phone.
Wei Sijia frowned after hearing this, looking puzzled. Wei Mingjie is an only child, so how could she have an uncle?
There was no sound from the other end of the phone, and the call was hurried, as if Wei Sijia was afraid that it would be a harassment call and hung up: "You and San Yatou, you two were taken away by the wrong parents back then. I am your real uncle! I have wanted to find you for a long time, but your father refused to let us see you..."
The more Wei Sijia listened, the more her expression changed. She finally knew who this "uncle" was.
Regarding the wrong-baby incident, Wei Sijia only knew that her biological parents were a couple who worked in the city, but they both died in a car accident when Wei Lan was very young. At that time, Wei Lan was taken back to the countryside by her grandmother and raised with her great uncle's family.
Not long after grandma passed away, the police investigated the incident of the genetic poison and traced it to Wei Lan. Only through investigation did they discover the cause and effect of the incident. Wei Mingjie and his wife learned about what happened and took Wei Lan back home.
That was also when Wei Lan had just come into this world.
Wei Sijia didn't know much about her real family situation, and she never thought about returning home because her biological parents had passed away, and her direct blood grandmother had also passed away. The only relative Wei Sijia had left there was an uncle with whom she had little relationship.
On one side are the parents who raised her since she was a child, and on the other side is the uncle she has never met. Wei Sijia is already eighteen years old and an adult. She does not need to find a legal guardian and has never thought about recognizing this relative.
Wei Sijia once asked her mother about the past events. She only knew that her uncle had never taken much care of Wei Lan, and that it had always been her grandmother who took care of her. Wei Lan had never mentioned anything about her uncle's family.
Wei Sijia didn't know that Wei Lan didn't know about it in the first place. She just thought that since Wei Lan didn't mention it, the person must be an unimportant one, so naturally she wouldn't pay much attention to him.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually had Wei Mingjie's private phone number and now he came to find him.
But this is normal. Wei Mingjie contacted that party at that time because it was a family matter, so he may have left a private phone number.
"What do you want?"
Wei Sijia frowned as she spoke. She had no good impression of her so-called uncle. When Wei Lan first came back, she heard her mother Ye Luoxue calling. After Grandma Wei passed away, after all, they were not her biological children. How well could her uncle's family treat Wei Lan, a "burden"? It was easy to imagine.
"I, I..." The person over there was very excited and flustered, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
The voice was replaced by that of a middle-aged woman: "Scarlett, your name is Scarlett, right? I am your aunt. Mr. Wei refused to answer our call, but that's OK. We are your relatives. This is your uncle's phone number. Please keep it and let's meet. You have to save your uncle's life..."
"What help? What are you talking about?" Wei Sijia had never encountered such a scene, and she did not expect that this so-called relative whom she had never met before would suddenly appear and suddenly run up to her and say these things.
The woman on the other end started crying instantly, and the change made Wei Sijia, an actress, stunned: "Your uncle has uremia, you have to save his life! We contacted Mr. Wei, but he said it was not his business and he refused to intervene... Yes, he couldn't intervene. We asked him to give us your contact information but he refused to give it to us, and he blocked my number. We changed several phone numbers and called you."
Wei Sijia was still sorting out the content of the other party's words, and Wei's aunt-in-law hadn't heard it before:
"He has nothing to do with us, but you are a member of our Wei family! This is your dear uncle! We are your only relatives in the world!"
Hearing this "only relative", Wei Sijia's brows instinctively frowned uncomfortably. She knew who her relatives were. What was the only relative? Just because she was related to him by collateral blood, he was her only relative? Her relatives were right beside her. Who was the other party cursing by saying this?
But Wei Sijia did not hang up the phone directly. Obviously, from what the other party had just revealed, they had been harassing Wei Mingjie for some time, but Wei Mingjie ignored them and did not tell his family about it.
Now that Wei Sijia bumped into her, she hesitated for a moment and did not choose to escape.
"Give me your phone number."
Hearing Wei Sijia say this, a voice of surprise came from the other end, and the Wei family's aunt's crying voice that was previously full of emotion disappeared in an instant: "I knew you wouldn't ignore us! Family ties cannot be severed! Jiajia, this is my phone number..."
She skillfully reported a string of numbers, and Wei Sijia wrote it down on her mobile phone.
Hearing that she didn't say anything, the aunt of the Wei family said attentively: "Or you can leave me your phone number..."
"I've already stayed. Wait for me to contact you. Don't call my father during this period." Wei Sijia is not a fool. After the initial surprise, she quickly understood the other party's intention. It was too obvious. He was just after money.
Uremia requires regular kidney dialysis, and the money required is indeed not something an ordinary rural family can afford.
But it has to be true.
Wei Sijia ignored what was being said on the other end and hung up the phone directly, blocked the number, and deleted the call records.
Not long after, Wei Mingjie came back and saw Wei Sijia still sitting on the sofa at the other end.
He glanced at the seemingly untouched phone on the table, picked it up and saw that there were no new messages on it, so he said to Wei Sijia: "Jia Jia, we're done, let's go back."
"Oh, okay." Wei Sijia put down the magazine, stood up and left as if nothing had happened.
…
After recording a variety show, Wei Sijia took out her personal mobile phone and saw a text message.
'Ms. Wei, I have already collected the information you need and sent the results to your email. Please check it.'
Wei Sijia opened her mailbox and saw a very complete set of information about Wei's uncle's family's interpersonal relationships, recent consumption, and even online medical records.
This was the result of an investigation by a private detective recommended by Wei Sijia's friend. The relationships in Wei's uncle's family were too simple. Living in the countryside, they were open about everything and everyone in the village knew about it. The private detective didn't even have to use any shady tactics to figure out these things. He just had to spend time to inquire and find out.
The other party was very professional and it took only over a week for them to feedback the information to Wei Sijia.
'Got it. Thank you.'
Looking at the contents of the report, Wei Sijia paid the private detective a consulting fee with satisfaction, and then sent a message to the phone number of Wei's aunt that she had saved before, asking them to come out for a meeting.
Three days later, a middle-aged couple, with their son in his early twenties, came to a private club in H City.
The fat man who looks no different from any ordinary middle-aged man is Wei Weizhong, the eldest uncle of the Wei family. His face is somewhat swollen and he doesn't look very well. He does seem to be ill.
The woman who was supporting him was Wu Danzhen, the aunt of the Wei family who had spoken to Wei Sijia before. She looked like a perfect match with Wei Weizi. She was plump, had curly hair, and had a mean look on her face. She looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. As the waiter led them into the box, she looked around the furnishings in the private club with greed in her eyes.
Their son Wei Lei, who was taller than all of them, looked around at the furnishings with an amazed expression. He couldn't help but take pictures with his mobile phone, wanting to send them to his friends to show off.
When the waiter saw Wei Lei's actions, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said politely: "Excuse me, sir, this is a private club. We value the privacy of our guests. Filming is prohibited here."
Wei Jie looked unhappy. Although it was Wei Weizhi's first time to come to such a place, he didn't want to lose face, so he frowned and scolded his son: "Put it away quickly, you look like you have never seen the world."
"Alright, alright, why are you being so mean to him, Xiaolei, put it away." Wu Danzhen on the side advised, and told her son to put it away, but after saying that, she rolled her eyes at the organization's waiter and said sarcastically:
"This is such a precious place, you're not even allowed to take pictures."
The waiter was very polite, his expression did not change, he just pretended not to hear, and smiled faintly: "Please come this way, the guests are waiting for you in the box."
Wu Danzhen punched the air, but in a place like this where everything was obviously expensive, she didn't dare to get angry and just stopped talking.
After a few steps, the three of them entered a private room under the guidance of the waiter.
Sitting inside was a woman wearing a designer suit and sunglasses, with every strand of her hair blown neatly and wearing eight-centimeter high heels.
After the waiter led the three people over, he left without even looking into the box.
Many wealthy people and celebrities come to this club because it pays great attention to privacy.
The woman in the box did not stand up, but took off her sunglasses and looked at the three people.
Wei Sijia twisted her shoulders uncomfortably. This was not her usual style at all. She had done this style deliberately to make herself look domineering and superior.
She opened her lips painted with crimson lipstick and looked at the three people: "You are here."
This scene shocked the three of them.
Before they came, they knew that Wei Lan's family was a wealthy family, otherwise they would not have thought of asking for money, but they did not expect to see Wei Sijia in this state, especially...
Their son Wei Jie was the first to react: "You...you are, the heroine of the movie! What's her name...Wei, Wei Sijia!"
