Aunt He was suddenly called by Wei Chengzhi. She was stunned. It was only when Ye Xin called her that she reacted. She ran over nervously, "Dong, Chairman, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Wei Chengzhi's eyes were calm. "From today on, you will take over Zhu Xiang's position and be in charge of the entire mansion."
Although Wei Chengzhi didn't manage the family much, he knew Zhu Xiang well. He was a smart, flexible, and able to read people's expressions. He was very capable and could easily please his employer.
This is also why, after Wu Jing's death, Wu Mei quickly reused Zhu Xiang in order to suppress Aunt He.
Wu Mei will not treat Wei Chen well, Wei Chengzhi treats Wei Chen coldly, and Zhu Xiang will naturally not treat Wei Chen and the people around him well.
Therefore, Zhu Xiang played a big role in causing Wei Chen to have no status in the Wei family and be bullied by anyone.
If he had known his position a little, and had not treated Wei Chen harshly, or even just coldly, Wei Chengzhi would not have made such a decision now.
Zhu Xiang and Aunt He were shocked when they heard Wei Chengzhi's words.
But after the shock, Zhu Xiang was left with panic. "Chairman, if you let her replace me, then...what should I do?"
Wei Chengzhi didn't want to say more to Zhu Xiang, but looked at Aunt He, "You will handle his problem."
Aunt He hadn't recovered from her shock when Ye Xin nudged her subtly with her elbow. Only then did she react, "Chairman, I haven't done housekeeping work for a long time. I'm afraid I won't do a good job and let you down. I just need to stay by the young master's side and take care of him."
Wei Chengzhi rarely smiled at Aunt He. "If I say you can do it, then you can do it. I don't feel comfortable leaving this family and Achen to others. Only if you are in charge of the household will Achen not be bullied again in the future."
I see!
It turns out that Wei Chengzhi promoted Aunt He in order to better protect Wei Chen in the future.
In this case, Aunt He no longer had any reason to refuse, because the only reason she was in this family was to take care of and protect Wei Chen.
If being a housekeeper can better protect Wei Chen, she is willing to do it, no matter how difficult it is, she can do it.
"Okay, sir, I understand. I'll do my best." Aunt He replied solemnly. The title "sir" was what she used to address Wei Chengzhi when Wu Jing was still alive. She hadn't addressed Wei Chengzhi like that for a long time. Ever since Wu Jing passed away and she and Wei Chen were banished to the West Courtyard, she had only addressed him as "Chairman" without any emotion.
When he heard the title "Sir", Wei Chengzhi felt as if he was in another world for a moment, as if Wu Jing was still alive. He hadn't heard this title for a long time.
Zhu Xiang's face was ashen, and he bit his lip tightly, but he didn't make a scene like the servants before. He knew Wei Chengzhi's temper, and he also knew that making a scene now would only make the situation worse.
Aunt He asked someone to take Zhu Xiang away first, and she would consider whether he should stay or go later.
The matter was resolved, and the courtyard became quiet. Wei Chengzhi looked at Wei Chen with gentle eyes, "I heard that you have been learning to play chess?"
Wei Chen stared at Wei Chengzhi in a daze, as if trying to determine whether the man in front of him was his father. Then he nodded and said, "Yes, my wife taught me."
"Then, do you want to play a game with me?" Wei Chengzhi asked with a smile, and this smile came from the heart.
After hearing these words, Wei Chen's dazed eyes burst into brilliant light.
"You eat first, and then we'll play chess together." Wei Chengzhi noticed that Wei Chen had not finished his meal yet.
Wei Chen looked at Wei Chengzhi clearly, and asked timidly but expectantly, "Do you want to eat together?"
Wei Chengzhi glanced at the plain white porridge and pickled vegetables and frowned slightly.
Wei Chen thought he was unwilling and became nervous.
At this time, Wei Chengzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's eat together, father and son."
