Wei Zi Yue naturally knew that what Luo Wanwan said was true; he just couldn’t accept this side of his mother.
“You’re right.” Wei Zi Yue lowered his head, and feeling somewhat dejected.
Seeing this, Chi Zaozao couldn’t help but say, “Come on, don’t be too disheartened. Just pretend you don’t know about this matter; otherwise, you’ll be in a really tough spot.”
“But they are both my family—my mother and my brother. I can’t just ignore it,” Wei Zi Yue couldn’t help but express his feelings.
“But whether it’s your mom or your brother, they both don’t want you to get involved. And seriously, your ability to accept the fact that Lin Yi Chen is your brother is astounding,” Chi Zaozao couldn’t help but comment.
Would a normal person readily accept that their mother had another child before them?
Wei Zi Yue’s casual reference to Lin Yi Chen as “brother” was quite remarkable.
Upon hearing Chi Zaozao’s comment, Wei Zi Yue choked up for a moment but immediately said, “Am I wrong? He is my brother from the beginning.”
In fact, he was shocked when he first learned about Lin Yi Chen’s relationship with his mother.
But who could blame him for recognizing such an impressive guy as his brother?
Besides, his mother was truly something, giving birth to two geniuses one after another.
Watching Wei Zi Yue’s confident expression, Chi Zaozao couldn’t help but feel somewhat lost for words.
Then, she said with a complex look on her face, “But if that’s the case, does this mean I’ll go from being good friends with Wan Yu to being sisters-in-law in the future?”
Wei Zi Yue blushed when he heard this.
“Oh, right!” Zaozao had already thought about their marriage after all?
Why was she always one step ahead?
She was the one who met the parents first, and now she was thinking about their wedding before him.
He couldn’t let her propose first!
For the moment, Wei Zi Yue had no mental capacity to think about the complex relationship between Lin Yi Chen and his mother. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to propose.
Seeing Wei Zi Yue looking so conflicted and absent-minded, Chi Zaozao couldn’t help but say, “Alright, stop thinking about it. How about we start studying now?”
Studying should be able to shift his focus, right?
Upon hearing Chi Zaozao’s suggestion, Wei Zi Yue’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Yes, studying! We should study! Come on, I’ll teach you right now!” Wei Zi Yue said enthusiastically.
His family was filled with intellectuals, and while they wouldn’t look down on Zaozao for having a high school education, he figured she should at least try to get into a university in the Imperial Capital.
He believed that with his diligent guidance, Zaozao could definitely pass the college entrance exam.
At this moment, Wei Qing had sought out an old friend he had known for many years, someone who used to be an influential figure in the Xu family.
“Old Song, I have a favor to ask,” Wei Qing hesitated for a moment but decided to seek his friend’s assistance.
He absolutely couldn’t let Lin Haowei know about Wanwan’s whereabouts, and he especially couldn’t let Wanwan know that their affair was now public knowledge along with the fact that someone had died because of her.
Hearing Wei Qing’s words, Song Zhiwen couldn’t help but smile and say, “Tell me, what’s the matter that has you so troubled?”
He understood Wei Qing well. Despite dedicating his entire life to the country, Song Zhiwen, as a professor enjoying various privileges had rarely asked the country for assistance in recent years.
So, whatever Wei Qing needed to discuss this time as long as it wasn’t illegal, he would definitely help.
Moreover, helping an old friend was different from helping out of obligation.
Helping a friend was something he felt he should do, while helping out of obligation was merely repaying a debt.
After hearing Song Zhiwen’s words, Wei Qing sighed lightly and recounted the situation involving Luo Wanwan.
“You know, throughout my life, apart from my loyalty to the country, I’ve loved only one person, Wanwan. She has already suffered greatly because of Lin Haowei, and it was a hard-fought effort to rescue her from his clutches. How can I allow her to be disturbed by the rumors and gossip from the outside world?” Wei Qing sighed.
