Wen Ying confirmed the details of the incident with Wu Chunqin, and Wu Chunqin confirmed Tai Jing's statement that there was indeed such a relationship between the Tai family and Wei Chengye.
In this way, things become confusing, and the Tai family may not be the "mysterious person" who helps the Zhuo brothers and sisters!
When Wen Ying knocked on the door of Wu Chunqin's house, Tai Wu had just arrived at Wei Chengye's law firm.
Tai Wu said he wanted to meet Wei Chengye, and the receptionist at the law firm first asked him if he had an appointment. Of course, Tai Wu didn't have one.
The receptionist's smile seemed measured with a ruler: "I can introduce you to other lawyers, or -"
"No, I only want to see Lawyer Wei."
Tai Wu was adamant, and the receptionist was embarrassed: "Lawyer Wei is very busy, and we need to make an appointment in advance."
"Am I not making an appointment with you now?"
Tai Wu may look like a decent person now, but he used to be a bit of a jerk, and when he acted like a jerk, he was quite difficult to deal with. The receptionist couldn't figure out his background and could only politely ask him to sit and wait.
"I'm checking with Lawyer Wei. What's your last name?"
"Tell Lawyer Wei my last name is Tai and I'm from the capital. He will meet me."
Tai Wu sat down in the rest area of the law firm.
After a while, the receptionist politely told him, "Lawyer Wei is on his way to the law firm. He asked me to tell you that he will be there in half an hour at most. Please wait here."
Tai Wu nodded, "Okay, thank you."
The goal was achieved, and Tai Wu became very easy to talk to again.
Having been kept in the dark for so many years, Tai Wu didn't mind waiting for half an hour longer.
Wei Chengye was indeed punctual and arrived in less than half an hour.
This was the first time Tai Wu met Wei Chengye, but it was not the first time Wei Chengye met Tai Wu.
Tai Wu glanced at the wall clock. From the time the receptionist notified him to the time Wei Chengye stepped into the law firm, only 24 minutes had passed.
"Are you Lawyer Wei?"
"It's me, let's talk in my office."
Without the third person present, Wei Chengye spoke directly: "I saw you when you were a child, but you probably don't have much impression of you."
Facing Wei Chengye, Tai Wu had no intention of chatting about family matters, but Wei Chengye's opening remarks immediately caught Tai Wu's heart.
"When did you see me?"
Tai Wu looked at Wei Chengye.
Wei Chengye is not very good-looking, but he has regular features and a decent temperament. People who meet him for the first time easily develop a liking for him and trust him. Being a lawyer is really the right career for him.
However, after looking at him for a while, Tai Wu really didn't remember having met Wei Chengye before.
"Your mother took you. We met in Beijing, at a McDonald's near your home. Do you remember? I wasn't even the director of the law firm at the time. My wife was seriously ill and had no access to treatment. The Tai family offered me assistance, and I'm deeply grateful. Your mother, in particular, found the best specialists to perform surgery for my wife. Unfortunately, although the surgery was successful, the disease quickly relapsed, and she passed away within a few months without even having the chance for a second surgery. I'm deeply grateful to the Tai family. They asked me to help find that homeless child, and I've treated it as my own responsibility all these years."
Without waiting for Tai Wu to ask, Wei Chengye confessed everything.
Tai Wu had no recollection of meeting Wei Chengye at McDonald's when he was a child.
But he was heartless when he was a child. As long as there was food and fun to do, he had no objection to where adults took him.
Maybe he really saw it, maybe he didn’t, it doesn’t matter.
Tai Wu was more concerned about something else: "So, there really is such a child?"
Tai Wu originally wanted to call her "illegitimate daughter," but he held back. This was different from the situation of the Zhuo siblings. Zhuo Jinxin deliberately gave birth to them to profit from them. Zhuo Chen and Zhuo Yue, educated by Zhuo Jinxin, had grown up to be annoying people. Meanwhile, on the Tai family side, the child Tai Wu had never met was the victim of Tai Zheng's infidelity and abandonment. If they had been given the choice, they might not have wanted to be born!
Of course, Tai Wu is more tolerant now because the child hasn't shown up to annoy his mother yet. If the other person is as disgusting as Zhuo Yue, Tai Wu will be able to say anything nasty!
Wei Chengye nodded: "I'm sure that child exists. The girl your father dated when he was in school was called Shi Hong. Shi Hong had nowhere to go after she dropped out of school. I don't know how she survived her pregnancy. When she was about to give birth, she fainted on the street due to malnutrition and was taken to the hospital by kind people, so her child was born in the hospital. When she entrusted me to find the Tai family, she gave me a birth certificate, it was a girl. She said that the child was born without a father, and the family planning department had been looking for her. She didn't even have the money to pay the hospital fees, so she had to take the child and leave the hospital when no one was paying. She said that she had thought about raising the child well at the beginning, but she was so busy for several months that she couldn't even register the child's household registration. Her hometown thought it was too shameful for her to get pregnant before marriage and would not allow her to go back, so she had no choice but to give the child to someone else to raise."
Without the burden of her child, Shi Hong went to Shanghai to develop her career.
Although she did not get a diploma, she did go to college after all. She is young and beautiful, and is quite popular in the job market in Shanghai.
A few years later, Shi Hong earned some money and met a good suitor.
Shi Hong had a chance to correct her life and live a life similar to that of her other classmates, but she was unexpectedly diagnosed with an incurable disease.
"She had the same disease as my wife, and my wife met her while she was in the hospital. They were both young and wanted to live, so they had a lot of common topics and soon became friends."
