The Wei family mansion, east courtyard, Shuxin Pavilion.
Ever since the last anniversary party, Wei Chengzhi ordered people to take away the chess game between him and Mr. Kang on the stone table.
Wei Chengzhi's action caused Wei Yan to be talked about privately for some time.
After all, after that cocktail party, everyone knew that Wei Yan, the heir, actually lied and claimed the credit for his sister-in-law's work, insisting that he was the one who solved the chess game.
Although it was not a big deal in itself, it made Wei Yan behave himself for a long time, especially when facing Wei Chengzhi, he was always cautious.
When facing outsiders, one must also be extremely alert.
Everyone thought that he, as the heir of the Wei family, was in great glory, but they didn't know that he was suffocated by his identity as an heir. Every day he was afraid that someone would catch him in trouble and make him unhappy.
Wu Mei's life has not been easy recently. At the anniversary party, the living conditions of the young master Wei Chen were exposed to the public. Although those people didn't say anything to her in person, she knew exactly what they said about her in private.
Apart from giving her a subtle warning after the cocktail party, Wei Chengzhi did not show any other behavior, which made Wu Mei feel a little relieved.
However, it was also true that Wei Chengzhi usually treated her indifferently and respectfully, and Wu Mei really didn't know what he was thinking.
However, no matter what Wei Chengzhi thought, Wu Mei knew very well in her heart that Wei Chen's existence was a threat to her and Wei Yan in this family.
Even though, Wei Chen is a fool.
Because he is Wu Jing's son.
After hearing from Zhu Xiang that Wei Chengzhi had already returned home, Wu Mei waited in the room for a long time but didn't see Wei Chengzhi, so she came out to look for him.
The East Courtyard is really too big, especially at night. It is a bit difficult to find people in the ancient garden-style courtyard.
However, Wu Mei easily found Wei Chengzhi in Shuxin Pavilion.
Looking at Wei Chengzhi sitting in the pavilion, Wu Mei's eyes changed.
This huge Wei family mansion is like a hotel to Wei Chengzhi. He usually spends a lot of time on business and socializing, and only appears here briefly at night when he goes to bed.
Every time I come back, I go straight back to my room, take a shower and go to bed.
No matter how beautiful the scenery of this courtyard was, the host Wei Chengzhi never paid attention to it and couldn't even recognize all the places.
The only place he often appeared was Shuxin Pavilion.
Because this was Wu Jing's favorite place to stay during her lifetime.
Looking out the window of their room, the first thing they saw was Shuxin Pavilion.
That's why Wei Chengzhi liked to stand in front of the bedroom window and look out. He was looking at nothing else but Shuxin Pavilion.
Wu Mei clenched her fists, a cold glint in her eyes.
It’s a pity for Wei Chengzhi. No matter how hard you look, the woman who once sat there will never appear.
Now, she is the mistress of this house!
Wu Mei!
Wu Mei calmed herself down, walked forward with a gentle smile, and covered Wei Chengzhi with clothes with concern. "I heard Zhu Xiang say you were back. I didn't see you in the room, so I guessed you were here. It's getting cold at night, so you should wear more clothes."
Wei Chengzhi: "You don't need to wait for me, take a rest first."
Wu Mei gently shook her head and sat down next to Wei Chengzhi. "It just so happens that I can't sleep either, so I'll sit here with you."
The position where Wu Mei was sitting was exactly the position Wu Jing liked to sit in during her lifetime.
Wu Mei and Wu Jing are sisters. Although they are very different in appearance and temperament, they still have some similarities.
At this moment, looking at Wu Mei's profile, Wei Chengzhi was in a trance for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and he immediately returned to normal, saying in a dull tone, "Whatever you want."
A hint of coldness flashed across Wu Mei's eyes. She bit her lip and suppressed her emotions.
Wei Chengzhi was not in a good mood today. Wu Mei knew that it was because Wu Jing's death anniversary was approaching.
During this time of year, Wei Chengzhi would be in a very low mood, and would become increasingly cold and distant towards Wu Mei.
A surge of pent-up grievances surged in her heart. Wu Mei, who had been pretending well, suddenly lost her temper. "Chengzhi, I've been married to you for so many years, taking good care of you, and giving birth to a son as outstanding as Yan'er. Why can't you treat me like your wife?"
Wei Chengzhi frowned, "But you are my wife."
"No, you know what I'm talking about!" Wu Mei's voice became shrill.
I am indeed your wife, but have you treated me as your wife? Have you ever given me the warmth and affection that a wife should have?
Wei Chengzhi sighed and looked at Wu Mei with some disappointment, "You were the one who said at the beginning that you didn't expect anything, you just wanted to take care of me and Achen for Jing'er."
Wu Mei's eyes trembled. She understood what Wei Chengzhi was referring to. "I...but for so many years, you have turned a blind eye to Achen. I was just following your wishes."
"I am me, and you are you." Wei Chengzhi was a little tired and didn't want to say anything more to Wu Mei. "In short, you are now my wife, Wei Chengzhi, and the head of the Wei family. You have a status and power that everyone envies. Your son is also being trained as the heir of the Wei family. I have given you everything I promised you. I am very tired and need to rest."
After saying that, Wei Chengzhi stood up, left Wu Mei behind, and left Shuxin Pavilion without looking back.
The night wind was very cold, making Wu Mei feel cold.
She clenched her fists, and her mind played like a movie, replaying every detail of her marriage to Wei Chengzhi.
Wu Jing died, leaving behind the newborn Wei Chen and the heartbroken Wei Chengzhi.
Wei Chengzhi blamed Wu Jing's death entirely on Wei Chen. He despised the child and devoted all his energy to business.
The Wu family felt sorry for the child who had lost his mother right after birth, so Old Lady Wu often brought Wu Mei to the Wei family to take care of the child and visit Wei Chengzhi.
Not long after that, one day, Wei Chengzhi got drunk and had an unspeakable affair with Wu Mei, who came to take care of the child.
The Wu family asked Wei Chengzhi for an explanation. Wei Chengzhi felt guilty towards Wu Jing and did not like Wu Mei, but he had made a mistake and had no choice but to take responsibility for it.
At that time, Wu Mei expressed her willingness to marry Wei Chengzhi. She did not expect anything but to take care of Wei Chengzhi and Wei Chen for her sister.
Naturally, the Wu family did not want to lose the Wei family as an in-law, so they agreed to the marriage.
From then on, Wu Mei became the mistress of this family.
But in fact, Wu Mei knew very well how she got the seat as the hostess.
She had been jealous of Wu Jing since she was little, so how could she truly treat the child Wu Jing left behind kindly? Especially after she had her own child, she could not tolerate the fact that everything in the Wei family would end up in the hands of Wu Jing's son.
