Chapter 83: Symptoms relieved? No, they got worse

In an instant, Wei Lin's expression changed subtly. After all, he was in front of the old man, so he quickly hid his emotions again.

He really...really underestimated Li Xiaoya before!

He didn't know whether she was just being innocent as a child or doing it on purpose, but this move was simply... simply beautiful.

Wei Lin always felt that the old man was not a person who cared much about family affection.

The old man is just very traditional.

It is so traditional that one believes that the family business must be passed down to direct blood-related descendants, and no matter how capable others are, they are not worthy of inheriting the family business.

He was authoritarian and domineering, and just like an eagle pushing its eaglet off a cliff to force its offspring to learn to fly, he was cruel when educating his son.

This style of work is painful for the old man's immediate blood relatives.

The more painful they were, the more loopholes Wei Lin had to exploit.

But when people get old, they will inevitably become weak.

The old man might regret his toughness in the past at some point, but regret is useless, after all, the outcome is already determined.

Just at this time, Li Xiaoya suddenly appeared... She opened a door to family affection.

This is not a good sign!

These complicated thoughts flashed through Wei Lin's mind one after another, and then he was pulled back to reality by a muffled sound.

The servants came out carrying the portraits of the eldest master and the eldest daughter and placed them on the table.

The black and white portrait, no matter how outstanding the person in it once was, looks eerie at this moment.

Wei Lin's eyelids twitched and he instinctively looked away.

This is crazy! Wei Lin thought.

With all these things on the table, do you still want to have a good meal?

Li Xiaoya was not very old, but she was not afraid of the portrait in front of her. She rummaged through the school bag that the servant was carrying and took out some yogurt and a piece of chocolate.

The meals in the cafeteria of the aristocratic school are very rich, with a wide variety of foods available.

Others disdain to eat it.

Even if they did eat, they would throw the uneaten food into the trash can. Only Li Xiaoya put away all the food that he couldn't eat...

The oranges were given to Sheng Yuxiao before, and now she placed the yogurt in front of her uncle's portrait and the chocolate in front of her aunt's portrait.

She said to the portrait: "It's a gift."

Wei Xuanming watched silently, and suddenly asked: "Don't you want to put something in front of your mother?"

Li Xiaoya shook her head, picked up her mother's photo and placed it in front of Wei Xuanming.

She said: "Seeing grandpa again is a gift from my mother."

Wei Xuanming's hand trembled and he almost knocked over the teacup beside him.

Wei Wenjun and Wei Wenqing could no longer hold back their tears.

Wei Wenjuan said hoarsely: "Xiaoya is right. For a family dinner, everyone should be present."

At this time, the sound of footsteps and wheels rolling was getting closer.

It was the servant who pushed someone out.

Li Xiaoya knew that she was her only aunt still alive.

The servant pushed closer and closer.

The woman's appearance came into Li Xiaoya's sight.

Her hair was neatly combed, her clothes were decent and neat, and she had no decorations on her body.

But she is too thin.

So thin that he seems like he will be blown away by the wind.

Her hands were placed neatly on her knees, and her beautiful eyes stared blankly ahead, not looking at them...

"Wen Yi." Wei Xuanming called her name.

But she didn't react at all.

"Push it closer." Wei Xuanming said tiredly.

Unlike the two brothers Wei Wenjun who live in Guanghua Villa, Wei Wenyi has always followed the old man.

But the old man seldom went to see her.

Because she no longer recognizes people.

Sometimes she even loses her sense of herself as a human being - she feels like a blade of grass or a stone.

Then let us meet less often and let her be a grass or a stone without any worries.

He will no longer feel pain.

The old man could only think so.

"Your aunt doesn't need to give her any gifts. She will be scared when she sees strange things." Wei Xuanming said and waved his hand.

The servant at the side immediately picked up the spoon and started feeding Wei Wenyi familiarly.

Li Xiaoya clenched her fingers and responded softly: "Yeah."

"Let's start the banquet." Wei Xuanming regained his spirits.

The servants responded and began to serve the dishes one after another.

There were bowls and chopsticks in front of each "person", and Wei Xuanming put food into their respective bowls. Wei Lin looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to several years ago...

The atmosphere of this meal was a bit heavy and it should have been eaten in silence.

But the old man suddenly remembered and asked, "I went to school for a day today. How did you feel?"

These words attracted the attention of both uncles.

Li Xiaoya answered obediently: "Not bad."

"You are so young, yet you can give such a mediocre answer. What do you mean by okay?"

"Yeah, it's OK. The teachers are OK, the classmates are OK, the school is OK. And Uncle Wei Lin is outside the window accompanying me to class, so it's OK too."

Wei Xuanming glanced at Wei Lin when he heard the voice.

In this respect, she is better than her uncles and knows how to order Wei Lin around.

Sometimes, what's the point of hating a person? It's better to control him and drive him.

"Did you make any friends?" Wei Wenjuan asked impatiently; he was more concerned about this.

He was afraid that Li Xiaoya would be bullied in the aristocratic school.

The more that kind of place it is, the more people will judge based on the situation and bully others in groups.

"No." said Li Xiaoya.

"It doesn't matter, there will always be a future..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have friends." Li Xiaoya said again.

Wei Wenjun was speechless for a moment.

Wei Xuanming immediately praised him: "Great! Our children should have such a broad mind and bearing. You will be the leader of the pack in the future."

Wei Lin felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

The old man really wants to train the little girl.

The two uncles were originally very resentful towards my father.

But when she heard him praising Li Xiaoya, her resentment immediately disappeared by three points, and she couldn't help but smile.

Yes, that's right! The duck is excellent! It's good!

The meal ended with questions and answers. The atmosphere was no longer silent, but rather had a rare warmth.

Time quickly came to nine o'clock in the evening. After all, Li Xiaoya was still an elementary school student, so he had to go to bed early.

"Send Young Master Sheng out." Wei Xuanming looked up and said.

These words were originally spoken to the servant, but Li Xiaoya jumped down from his seat in an instant.

"Mr. Wei, I'll take my leave now. Please take care of yourself." It was rare for Young Master Sheng to put away his rebelliousness. He said these words respectfully before walking out with Li Xiaoya.

Wei Xuanming clenched his crutches tightly, but he didn't yell at Li Xiaoya to stay.

Li Xiaoya accompanied Sheng Yuxiao all the way to the gate.

"We'll see each other tomorrow, come in." Sheng Yuxiao touched her head.

Li Xiaoya bit her lip and took a half step back.

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, Sheng Yuxiao couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"I'm leaving." Sheng Yuxiao quickly let go of her hand, stood up and left.

So that you won’t feel reluctant later.

It was already very late when he got home, but Xu Qiulai was still waiting for him in the living room. When he saw him come in, he asked, "Did you see Li Xiaoya?"

Sheng Yuxiao nodded, frowning slightly.

The Wei family’s situation is more complicated than imagined.

Xu Qiulai was surprised and asked, "Why are you still unhappy?"

Sheng Yuxiao paused and said in a deep voice: "No, I'm very happy." Li Xiaoya firmly pulled him in and insisted on keeping him for dinner, which made him very happy.

When she was in Lijia Village, it was no different from being in a dangerous place. When she returned home, there were still dangers everywhere. But even so, Li Xiaoya would still share a little of her softness with him.

Then he would share his strength with her.

"I just feel that... Li Xiaoya really needs me." Sheng Yuxiao said.

Xu Qiulai fell silent. Her son's rebellious symptoms eased, but his narcissistic symptoms seemed to worsen.
