Chen Wenlian brewed two pots of tea, placed one pot in the living room, and brought the other pot to the bedroom. She invited Zhou Xiang into the bedroom.
Zhou Xiang sat down on the stool in front of the dressing table in the bedroom, "Where's Weibin?"
"He went out to play, and ran out as soon as he came back. He wouldn't listen no matter what I said," Chen Wenlian put the teapot on the dressing table and poured two cups of tea. "This child has become more and more silent. He used to be able to chat with me for a few words, but now he goes into the house as soon as he comes home. If he wants to go out, he just says it and leaves.
Alas, it’s hard for me to control them. After all, I’m an adult now, and children nowadays are not as bad as they used to be. If they don’t obey, I can just give them a beating.
As soon as Chen Wenlian opened her mouth, she told him about her troubles. Zhou Xiang was not an outsider, so she was not afraid of being laughed at by Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang frowned. It seemed impossible to ask Aunt Chen to take care of Zhou Weibin. "Where's Brother Zhou?"
"He'll be back soon," Chen Wenlian looked at Zhou Xiang, paused, and said, "He's following Weibin."
Is Aunt Chen's expression and words trying to start a discussion? Anyway, I came here for Weibin's matter, so I didn't beat around the bush. "Aunt Chen, I came here today for Weibin. From a healthy perspective, Weibin was treated as a backup by Fang Xin."
"Spare tire" is still a relatively polite metaphor. After hearing what his two nephews said, Zhou Xiang felt that Zhou Weibin was being played around by Fang Xin and was mentally retarded. Even Zhou Yizhou could see that something was wrong, so there must be more to it than just what Jiankang saw.
The insulting word "spare tire" made Chen Wenlian's eyes fill with tears. "Think about it." Chen Wenlian's voice choked and she was sobbing.
Zhou wanted to get up and sit beside her, gently stroking her back, letting her cry. In this family, there were three generations of men, and she was the only woman to take care of things. There were many things beyond her ability, and she also felt frustrated and disappointed in her parents, which others could not understand.
After crying for a while, Chen Wenlian finally stopped crying, wiped her tears with a tissue, and blew her nose. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"It's okay," Zhou Xiang sat back on the stool at the dressing table. "Every family has its own problems."
After taking care of herself and sighing deeply, Chen Wenlian finally spoke: "Since Weibin started college, we have noticed something is wrong because he often asks us for living expenses. The monthly living expenses are extremely high. Yizhou secretly went to the school to investigate.
But Weibin didn't have a girlfriend and was quite frugal in his food, clothing and daily expenses. After getting nothing, Yizhou returned. When Weibin asked for living expenses again, he went to school to wait. We transferred money to Weibin from home.
This time, he found that Weibin bought a lot of valuables, even luxury goods, and sent them back to the school. We searched for the recipient of the mail based on the time at school and found out it was Fang Xin.
How could a girl of only seventeen or eighteen be so scheming? I wanted to tell Wang Aihuan several times, but what was my excuse? It was my Weibin who was really stupid.
After Chen Wenlian finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Xiang, hesitant to speak.
Zhou Xiang raised an eyebrow. "Aunt Chen, if you have something to say, just say it. We are not talking to each other. I just found something wrong and came to tell you directly."
"Okay," Zhou thought, and Chen Wenlian stopped hesitating. "After we discovered Fang Xin's real target wasn't Weibin, Yizhou started paying more attention to her. She seems to have set her sights on Jian Jiankang, and she hasn't decided which one it is."
"I know that," Zhou Xiang nodded. "Jian Jiankang told me right after I came back before the Lunar New Year. Originally, they were planning to start a business and try not to come back in the next few years. This time, it's because of my second sister."
At this point, Zhou wanted to find Fang Xin and follow her to the capital. He wondered if she already knew that Jiankangkang and Jiankangkang each had a courtyard house. But even if Jiankangkang didn't say it, and even though Lawyer Fang was very professional, with his second sister's ostentatious personality, it was estimated that many people knew about it.
Alas, people say that children are all debts, but why is it that in her case, even her sister is a debt?
"Because my second sister was in a hurry to go to Beijing to change the household name, she called the two children back. Lawyer Fang went to help with the process, and Fang Xin went with her. The two children also kindly took Weibin with them, hoping to create an opportunity.
This time, I clearly saw how Fang Xin treated Weibin. They quickly told me, so I came at night.
Upon hearing Zhou Xiang's explanation, Chen Wenlian quickly expressed her opinion, "I don't mean to blame Jian Jiankang. If they didn't take Weibin with them to the capital this time, Weibin would probably have gone with them. I just don't want these three children, who originally had a good relationship, to be ruined by a fickle person."
"I plan to..." When Zhou Xiang was about to tell the other party's family what they were planning, he heard a noise coming from outside.
"Dad, you're invading my privacy."
When Zhou Xiang heard Zhou Weibin's voice, he guessed that Zhou Yizhou's tracking had been exposed.
"Bullshit," Zhou Yizhou raged. "You've been treated like a fool and played with. You still want privacy? You're my son. Your privacy has embarrassed me and made our Zhou family a laughing stock. Your privacy is not important in this situation."
"Don't talk nonsense. I gave it voluntarily. No one treats me as a fool. Don't taint my beauty with darkness."
Chen Wenlian heard the voices outside getting louder and louder, and quickly opened the door and walked out. "What's going on? What's the commotion? If the neighbors hear you, you two will bring shame to your father and me."
"Grandma, can you stop talking about face? How much is face worth?" When Zhou Weibin heard the topic of face again, his tone became very high and he even raised his leg to kick the stool in front of him.
He raised his leg, and when he saw Zhou Xiang coming out of his grandmother's bedroom out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously retracted his leg. However, the withdrawal of strength caused his body, which was already leaning backward due to the leg being raised, to lean even further backward, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
