Although Liu Xiaolan was also very angry, she couldn't say anything because Shi Xingyue was around.
All I could do was offer words of comfort.
"You should stay away from her in the future. I always feel like she's very hostile towards you!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xingyue slowly began to speak.
“Youyou, the Wei family has been under investigation these past few days. I heard from my mother that this Uncle Wei has severed ties with Wei Zhibin in order to distance himself from Wei Zhibin’s actions and say that they have nothing to do with the Wei family.”
"Ah, there is such a father? I heard that the Wei family only has this one son. If the relationship is severed, wouldn't the Wei family line end?"
Liu Xiaolan covered her mouth in surprise and said.
Shi Xingyue's expression was solemn, and her tone carried a hint of tension.
"The Wei family is a large and powerful family, quite wealthy. Shi Zhan needs their financial support. So, even though Wei Zhibin is gone, there is Wei Ziyao. I heard that Uncle Wei has already designated her as the heir of the entire Wei family."
Wu Youyou widened her eyes and asked definitively,
"The heir to the entire Wei family? Wei Dingyun would be willing to let Wei Ziyao, a girl, inherit all the family property in the future. Wouldn't he feel bad if his son-in-law got it all?"
Wu Youyou is also a second-generation rich kid. She knows that the richer people are, the more they have to consider the issue of their inheritance in the future. Basically, it is up to their sons to inherit. Although she has never dealt with Dingyun, she heard Song Shaojie mention it before, so she still attaches great importance to the issue of her inheritance.
Otherwise, he would still have tolerated Wei Zhibin's previous outrageous behavior.
However, it seems that this time is different; why should Wei Ziyao inherit it?
This seems illogical.
But Shi Xingyue's next words stunned Wu Youyou. She said,
"Youyou, you don't know, this time Brother Shizhan seems to be even more unable to go against his family's wishes. The Wei family only has one request: that Shizhan marry into the Wei family and then use all of the Wei family's assets as his dowry."
"What? You want Teacher Shi to marry into the family and become a live-in son-in-law?"
Liu Xiaolan had been listening intently, and when she heard about Shi Zhan marrying into the family, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Youyou frowned deeply. She knew Shi Zhan; he would absolutely not agree. She said firmly,
"Xingyue, Shi Zhan will absolutely not agree!"
A hint of relief appeared in Shi Xingyue's eyes as she continued,
"You really understand Brother Shi Zhan. He did disagree, so he suffered the family law of our Shi family. Grandpa personally supervised it. Brother Shi Zhan's back was already bleeding profusely that day. It was so terrible. I couldn't bear it, so I had to leave there."
"What did you say? Shi Zhan is injured?"
Shi Xingyue nodded solemnly, seemingly with a hint of surprise, and said...
"You didn't know?!"
Wu Youyou asked anxiously,
"Was it the day before you came to school?"
"Yes! That day, I arrived later than both of you because I was at home and I wanted to stop Grandpa. But Grandpa was really scared that day. I had never seen him lose his temper like that before. Moreover, my mother was also implicated and blamed for her parenting. Shi Zhan was not raised by my mother herself, so naturally she can't blame my mother."
At this point, Shi Xingyue seemed somewhat aggrieved, and she continued...
"Later, I said something out of turn and almost got punished by the family. Luckily, Brother Shiyuan was quick-witted and took me out. After sending me to school, he also went to the military academy to register."
"And then what happened to him?"
Wu Youyou became even more anxious.
Liu Xiaolan nodded vigorously in agreement.
Seeing the worried looks on their faces, Shi Xingyue frowned with concern herself.
"It's been two days, and I still haven't heard from Brother Shi Zhan. I sent a message to my mother, and she just told me to stop asking around and focus on my studies. Brother Shi Yuan is at school just like me, so he doesn't know anything. Besides, my brother doesn't like Brother Shi Zhan, so he wouldn't care about him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Youyou became extremely worried, and her heart began to pound with anxiety.
Will something happen to Shi Zhan?
Wu Youyou immediately took out her phone and dialed Shi Zhan's number.
The phone went dead.
Wu Youyou's heart suddenly panicked.
He was punished by family discipline. What can she do to find out about him?
"What should I do? What should I do? I'm so worried about him!"
Seeing Wu Youyou's worried expression, Liu Xiaolan immediately thought of Song Shaojie and said,
"Youyou, let's contact Song Shaojie. Maybe he can get in touch with Teacher Shizhan?"
Wu Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Liu Xiaolan and said excitedly,
"You're right, Song Shaojie must know about Shi Zhan's situation!"
Wu Youyou quickly called Song Shaojie, and the call was answered in no time.
"Youyou, what's wrong?"
Song Shaojie's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wu Youyou asked without hesitation,
"Song Shaojie, Shi Zhan has been disciplined by his family, right? You must know about his situation, right?"
Wu Youyou could clearly sense Song Shaojie's surprise, and she knew that Song Shaojie must know the situation.
Although Song Shaojie was surprised, he still tried his best to hide it, so he lied and said,
"Ah—who told you that? That's not true. Shi Zhan is perfectly fine now, he's not injured!"
Because Wu Youyou was on speakerphone when she made the call, Song Shaojie's words immediately angered Shi Xingyue. She snatched the phone from Wu Youyou's hand and shouted loudly,
"You dare to lie to us, Song Shaojie! Tell me now, how is my brother Shi Zhan doing?"
Song Shaojie, who had been sitting and making a phone call, was jolted upright by Shi Xingyue's shout. He exclaimed in surprise,
"Shi Xingyue, why are you with Youyou?"
"Why can't we be together? Let me tell you, Liu Xiaolan, Wu Youyou, and I are roommates. You'd better be more polite in the future. If you dare to lie to us, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaolan was instantly confused. She realized that the person she liked could feel resentful when being scolded by someone else.
Soon, Song Shaojie's kind words came through the phone.
"Oh dear, Miss Shi, you're being petty. Who am I? How could I not know about Shi Zhan's situation?"
Wu Youyou spoke first,
How is he now?
Knowing he could no longer hide it, Song Shaojie covered the microphone of his phone and spoke to Shi Zhan, who was still lying down beside him.
"Zhanzhan, what should we do? They found out so quickly! Who knew Xingyue was in the same dorm as them? She must have told them about you!"
Shi Zhan lay on the bed, his lips still pale, yet he maintained his aloof demeanor. He spoke slowly.
"Just tell them I'm recuperating at the base right now, it's not that serious!"
