After Shan Ye asked Wei Jingxing's opinion, he did not go to look for those children again. He called the police after returning to the city.
Because of the concrete evidence and witnesses, the traffickers and the three brothers were arrested before Liang County could react.
After everything was settled here, Shan Ye went to see the five children again.
They looked at him with hatred like wolf cubs, saying that a cheap woman like Hou Xianglan deserved to be sold, and that it was a blessing for her to be their mother.
They say that women are meant to be replacement wives for men and are born to bear children.
Although he was a child who was not yet an adult, his words were harsh and his heart was vicious to a degree that he had never seen before.
They even guessed that the three brothers were arrested by the police because of the man in front of them. They hated him so much that they kept wanting to throw stones at him.
After returning, Shan Ye relayed the children's words to Wei Jingxing. Wei Jingxing had no intention of meeting them and simply told them to fend for themselves in the mountains.
His original plan was to send those children to an orphanage, but after learning about their character, he decided to give up and told them not to harm others.
Since you think you are so outstanding, then just stay there. I believe you can survive well without adults.
Those five children really had nothing to do with him, and he asked someone to find Hou Xianglan only because of Mianmian.
He has changed his way of addressing her now and calls her by Wei Mian's name instead of her childhood nickname Yaya.
As for Hou Xiangqin, she was also arrested on suspicion of human trafficking.
But Wei Jingxing consulted a lawyer and according to her situation, she could probably be sentenced to five years. As for whether Chen Baozhu would still want her after she was released, that was unknown.
However, considering that Chen Baozhu is such a face-conscious person, how could he be willing to accept a wife who was sentenced for human trafficking? What Hou Xiangqin should do after she is released from prison is none of other people's business.
After listening to Wei Jingxing, Wei Mian also figured out a lot of things.
I think Hou Xianglan once told Hou Xiangqin that the child's name was Wei Mian, but Hou Xiangqin didn't know which Wei.
So when I registered my household registration later, I just picked a random name called "Wei".
Strictly speaking, her name should be Wei Mian, but Wei Mian has no intention of changing it.
After talking about these past events, the two didn't know what to say for a moment and sat in silence facing each other.
Wei Jingxing's attention has always been on Wei Mian. His Mianmian is now a very capable little girl. She lives a good life even without her father.
There was no emotional basis between the two of them. Wei Jingxing was afraid that his presence would cause trouble to the child, like a criminal waiting for the judge's judgment.
Wei Mian lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at him, and immediately caught Wei Jingxing's hurriedly withdrawn gaze.
She sighed and decided to speak openly.
"Since you've already hired someone to investigate, you must know about my living conditions before I was eighteen. I have no feelings for my father figure, and I don't know how to get along with him. I can't treat you like I treated Chen Baozhu."
Besides fear, there is terror.
Of course, that was the original owner's emotion.
"I am an adult now. I am independent in thought and finances. I don't need to rely on others to live."
When Wei Jingxing heard this, he felt his nose sore.
He knew that his daughter was excellent and was proud of her excellence, but he had no role in her excellence at all, which made him, as a father, very frustrated and self-blaming.
"Mianmian, I——"
"Just listen to me first."
Wei Mian interrupted him.
Just because she understands doesn't mean she has to agree, but she is not a cold-blooded person. If others treat her sincerely, she will definitely return the favor.
But there might not be the kind of admiration that Wei Jingxing wants from a daughter for her father.
"I understand your years of searching for your daughter, and I ask you to respect my lifestyle. I think it's fine for us to maintain our current state, meeting occasionally and saying hello to each other. You can also come over during the New Year and other holidays if you want."
As for how well we can get along in the future, we’ll just leave it to time!
Wei Jingxing moved his lips and responded with a choked voice, "Okay."
He has found his daughter, and she is so outstanding. Even though he knows that they haven't seen each other for twenty years and it is impossible for them to become close immediately, he still feels very uncomfortable in his heart, as if someone has squeezed him tightly and then released him. He can't express the heartbreaking pain even if he wants to.
After saying what she wanted to say, Wei Mian didn't mind caring about him, as if she was fulfilling her duty as a daughter to the original owner.
"I wanted to ask before but I was afraid it would be presumptuous, what's wrong with your legs? Can't you walk anymore?"
Wei Jingxing was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Faced with his daughter's concern, a warm feeling flashed through his heart.
"It's not that I can't walk, it's just that it's more difficult for me to walk. I usually have to rely on a wheelchair when I go out."
Wei Jingxing has come to his senses now. Just take it step by step. Two strangers will definitely get to know each other slowly. Now that the most critical step has been achieved, how far will the others be?
"When I was young, I didn't know how to take care of my body. I worked very hard on filming. I didn't pay much attention to my back injury at that time. Later, it became more and more serious. I have been receiving treatment abroad for the past few years. Now it is better. At least I can still walk a few steps at home."
As he spoke, Wei Jingxing exerted strength with his arms, slowly stood up with the help of the wheelchair, shook off his assistant's hand and walked forward a few steps to demonstrate to Wei Mian.
"Look, I can still walk a few steps, but I'm used to being in a wheelchair and I'm lazy."
Wei Mian didn't say anything. She watched him take those few stiff steps forward. If she ignored the veins popping up on his forehead, she might really believe it.
"Where do you usually live?"
With the help of his assistant, Wei Jingxing sat back in the wheelchair. Just these simple movements made beads of sweat appear on his forehead.
"I used to spend most of my time in Hai City, but now I plan to buy a house in Bishui Garden—"
Wei Jingxing carefully observed Wei Mian's expression, wanting to know whether his daughter would object to him living nearby.
Seeing Wei Mian still expressionless, Wei Jingxing's heart sank. "I asked my assistant to ask, and the houses in Bishui Garden are almost all sold. So I can move into Xishan Villa."
One sentence hides so many thoughts.
Wei Mian didn't think much about it. In her opinion, it didn't matter where they lived. Even if it was the Bishui Garden, she believed that Wei Jingxing would know his limits and would not come to her all day long.
"You're welcome. Once you've found a place, tell me and I'll set it up for you."
Wei Jingxing was delighted. Before he knew that Wei Mian was his daughter, he already knew what Wei Mian did. The arrangement she mentioned must be to adjust the feng shui for him at home.
Does this also prove that Wei Mian doesn't care about him as a father as much as she says?
