Wei Lao Er and Wei Lao San looked at each other. Boss Lin liked the adopted daughter, mainly because she was sweet-talker and liked to flatter the boss.
To be honest, they were not very fond of their adopted daughter and her husband, as they thought they were too flattering, especially when it came to their biological mother.
The existence of the adopted daughter did help the biological mother get over the pain of losing her daughter, but in their minds, only the real daughter is their biological sister. They still remember that the sister called her brother in a cute way, which melted their hearts.
The adopted daughter also calls them brother, but they feel that she is deliberately imitating her sister and wants to become a real sister.
From that time on, they felt more and more disgusted. They thought their adopted daughter was fake and affected. Her only good point was that she could coax people. Because she had long monopolized her biological mother and received most of her love, they, the biological sons, were neglected.
They said it was impossible not to complain or feel jealous, considering that Lin Shiwei was her biological mother's only daughter, and her biological mother always responded to her adopted daughter's requests.
But one thing is that compared to the illegitimate daughter Lin Xiaoshan and Hu Shuo, the adopted daughter and her husband are much better. At least they are hardworking and not like Hu Shuo who only knows how to live off others.
Wei Lao San said expressionlessly, "You are married to the Ke family? County Magistrate Ke is an okay person, but his grandson Ke Qi is not so good. I heard that he has had several girlfriends and abandoned them in the end."
Ye Huaili took his mother-in-law and her family to the state-owned restaurant, found an empty seat and asked them to sit down. "Those are just rumors. Some people are just jealous of Ke Qi. You have to get to know a person's character after getting to know him, right?"
Wei Laoer particularly couldn't stand Ye Huaili's hypocritical appearance. To put it bluntly, he was selling his daughter for fame and fortune and currying favor with the powerful. The adoptive couple loved their daughter, but they loved her more than power. Even though he thought so, he didn't intend to get involved, since she was not his daughter anyway.
Everyone in the streets and alleys knew about Ke Qi's scandal, except for his adopted daughter and her husband, who turned a blind eye and pretended it never happened.
Back then, the adopted daughter insisted on marrying the impoverished Ye Huaili and even had a falling out with County Magistrate Lin. But after she successfully married Ye Huaili, she shamelessly begged for peace, but County Magistrate Lin ignored her and turned to her biological mother to complain. The biological mother couldn't bear to see her adopted daughter suffer any injustice, so she often subsidized her.
He and the third brother had inquired about it. They found out that their adopted daughter and her husband had often used County Magistrate Lin's name to show off and enjoy the glory that would be brought by being a future mayor. If the adopted daughter and her husband knew that County Magistrate Lin had lost, they would probably feel like the sky had fallen.
"We have separated from Boss Lin and severed our relationship. The third brother and I are now surnamed Wei. By the way, Mom and Old Man Lin have divorced. We have moved out of the Lin family and are no longer members of the Lin family. You and Boss are still a family."
Lin Shiwei was stunned. "Why do you want to break up with your family for no reason? Mom, why do you want to divorce Dad? He is the future mayor. If you divorce him at the critical moment of his election, won't it hinder him?"
"Did Dad do something wrong? Husband and wife quarrel and make up at the end of the bed. There is no overnight hatred. You are both old, and you are still getting a divorce. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"Mom, listen to my advice and make peace with Dad. I'm really worried that you'll be criticized. This world is so unfair to divorced daughters. Aren't you afraid that those coquettish bitches will seduce Dad while you're away? If Dad marries someone else, you'll cry your heart out. Are you really willing to give up the position of mayor's wife to someone else?"
"You have been married for decades. The neighbors will laugh at you for being an abandoned woman. Your brothers won't try to persuade mom. With sons like you, what will I do if you make such a scandal when I'm not around?"
What she didn't dare say was that without the identity of the mayor's daughter, all the glory and honor would have nothing to do with the Ye family.
Ye Huaili's eyes were full of reproach, as if he was saying that his two brothers-in-law were incompetent.
Facing the accusations from her adopted daughter, Madam Wei felt a little disappointed. Considering that her adopted daughter was doing this for her own good, she couldn't lose her temper with her. "Do you want to sever your relationship with the Lin family?"
"Dad raised me, and I will continue to be close to him. I can't be an ungrateful person." Lin Shiwei said this with such great dignity, but she was simply unable to give up her adoptive father's power and status. Only a fool would break off the relationship with the mayor.
However, the consequence of constant kissing almost made the Ye couple cry.
The second and third sons of the Wei family were not as kind-hearted as Madam Wei. "Mom, if she doesn't want to break off the relationship, then forget it. She has her own ideas. She's not your biological daughter, so why bother with her?"
"We are his biological sons. We don't need an adopted daughter like you to comment on what we want to do. You are so eager to ask mom to get back together, but you don't want to lose the support of your adoptive father. What a pity, you bet on the wrong horse!"
"What about the mayor? Mayor Yang is still alive. Old man Lin offended Mayor Yang and wants to replace him. Do you think he will let him go? Not only that, but Old man Lin is also a slut. He has an illegitimate daughter, Lin Xiaoshan, with my aunt. He has used his position to do bad things and has been detained by the special department. It's only a matter of time before he gets punished."
"Old man Lin is such a failure that he can't even keep his position as county magistrate. He's involved with his aunt, an enemy spy. Your dream of becoming the mayor's daughter has been ruined. Only a fool would keep kissing her. And you even persuaded Mom to get back together with the criminal. Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"You said it yourself. Don't be an ungrateful person. So don't break off your relationship with the Lin family."
The brothers' words were like a bomb, catching the Ye family off guard. How could this happen...
Not only did the sky fall, but the earth also cracked.
The mayor father they were proud of is gone, and has become a criminal despised by everyone.
Once those people in Shanghai who are trying to curry favor with the Ye family find out, will they have to stay away from them?
How could they accept the Ye family’s sudden fall from its high position?
Without her adoptive father who was an official, the only one they had left was the Wei family. Now, for the sake of her adoptive father, she had offended her adoptive mother and two brothers.
"Mom, I was wrong. I didn't know that Dad had done so many wrong things. You were right to divorce him. No wonder Dad doted on Lin Xiaoshan so much and didn't care about my sister and me. Do you think Dad deliberately lost my sister to make room for Lin Xiaoshan?"
Madam Wei actually thought about this possibility seriously. Given Old Man Lin's incompetence, he could indeed do such a thing.
It would be fine if he didn't love Lin Shiwei, after all, she was the wet nurse's daughter, but he didn't care about his own daughter and wasn't sad even when she was lost, which means he has something to hide.
Since the adoptive father is useless, it is better to put the blame of the disappearance of the real daughter on the adoptive father. After all, there is no evidence.
Ye Huaili was thinking that the Ke family was willing to marry because of the mayor's father-in-law's face. If they knew that his adoptive father was in trouble and that he was involved in enemy spies, they would definitely cancel the engagement. No matter what, he had to protect his daughter's marriage to Ke Qi.
If you can't be the mayor's son-in-law, being the county magistrate's relative is not bad either.
Lin Shiwei felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. After thinking for a while, she finally asked, "Mom, is it because of Dad's matter that you came to Yun Province to find me? Actually, there is something I want to tell you, which is..."
