Wei Tianyi’s fainting caused chaos in the Wei family.
Zhao Liang shook him for a long time but to no avail. Housekeeper Zhou became extremely anxious and yelled at the nannies at home to help call an ambulance.
Wei Xi finally passed the latest level of the game. He walked over slowly amid the noise, just glanced around casually, and swung his arm to punch twice.
Everyone: “….”
Five minutes later, Wei Tianyi sat on the sofa at home with two black eye sockets and an expressionless face, while Butler Zhou nervously gave him a boiled egg to apply as hot compress.
The atmosphere was awkward, as Wei Xi comforted them: “Don’t worry, it’s just that his blood circulation was not smooth. He is healthy and will live a long life.”
But for some reason, Wei Tianyi didn’t show any joy at all when hearing such auspicious words, and even two veins popped out of his forehead. Butler Zhou was silent, and Wei Chengshu, the second son of the Wei family, looked at his eldest brother in silence for a long time, then simply got up, found a bucket, and went out to clean the plaque.
This house was really unbearable to stay in for even a second.
Zhao Liangyi felt something was not right, but he was wearing a fan filter at the moment, so no matter how he looked at Wei Xi, his eyes were soft, and his praise was particularly sincere: “Great, great, the master’s moves are really extraordinary. Look at the eye circles, they are so evenly made, both sides are equally round.”
Wei Tianyi: “….”
….
But no matter what, the plan to remove the signboard was ultimately scrapped, and Taicang Sect opened for business. The big customer Zhao Liang not only paid a thank-you fee, but also sent two flower baskets afterwards.
With his unremitting promotion, his friends soon knew that the eldest son of the Wei family had opened a company called Taicang Sect, and the company’s business scope was very mysterious. At first, everyone treated this matter as a joke, but the direction of this joke gradually became strange, and some people began to speculate whether the kid of the Wei family had encountered some adventure during the few months he was away.
Because another boss named Lin who was also in the Beijing business circle came back from his hometown Fengyang Town and brought back a piece of news that had also caused quite a bit of discussion in the far south.
The news was mainly about the excessive crowds in scenic spots during the National Day holiday which advised travelers to be cautious and not to argue or clash because of a momentary anger on the beautiful road. Such news appeared every long holiday, and the theme was really not attractive at all, but the strange thing was that the person in the news swore that he had been pushed off the cliff at that time but was saved by a talisman paper given by a master she met by chance.
The reporter was very good at making trouble, and even interviewed the security guard at the scenic spot at that time. Unexpectedly, he got another big news from the security guard. It was said that the security captain on duty at the scenic spot at that time had a conflict with the young man, and then he got into trouble. Not only did he go to the hospital, his wife also wanted to divorce him, and in the past few days, someone anonymously reported that he usually embezzled money from the fines of tourists who lost their tickets. Therefore, the scenic spot was considering dismissing him at a later date.
In the video, the woman who sold rice cakes and her family cried in front of the camera and thanked the unknown lifesaver. The young security guard was also in awe when he was interviewed. The Taicang Sect was mentioned repeatedly during the interview, and with such a difficult-to-explain background story, it could really be said that it was quite inconsistent with the core values of socialism. Thus, only small local TV stations dared to broadcast it casually because of lax censorship.
A large number of comments were from local netizens. Some people in the hot comments sneered: “What the hell is Taicang Sect? The most famous temple in Fengyang Town is the mountain god temple, okay? They even read faces to save people and told stories about a few security guards as if they were real. XX TV station is really trying to attract attention without any dignity. Report it.”
Someone who knew the inside story immediately responded, “You know nothing. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim? The security guard mentioned in the news is my next-door neighbor. His family has been in a real mess these past few days. His wife has brought her family and son to sue him over the property. It’s right, I should say this bast**d deserves it. He gets drunk every day and comes home to beat his wife and son. The neighbors in our building avoid him when they see him.”
Following this comment, local people came forward to share their own experiences to prove that the stories in the news were not fabricated.
Xing Kai closed the public account with a complicated expression, and glanced at the familiar avatar of the person who forwarded the message on the left. His friend who had read the news with him looked confused: “Has Wei Xi lost his job and switched to MLM marketing[1]?”
Another friend was a little scared: “I don’t think so. If it’s really MLM marketing, it’s fine to hire country folks as agents, but what about Lin Hanyang? I heard that he’s been very lucky recently. He just returned to Beijing and signed two big deals that were being discussed for a long time without any progress.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xing Kai with a worried look on his face: “Brother Kai, I think this is a bit mysterious. Wei Xi didn’t contact you for so many days after returning to Beijing. Does he know what we did?”
Xing Kai gritted his teeth and said, “Impossible. He and Ruan Shixing were both drunk at the time. We were just playing truth or dare and took a photo from a different angle. We didn’t do it ourselves. Who could have guessed that we took the photo? Didn’t you hear how Ruan Shixing scolded him in front of us a few days ago? Ruan Shixing couldn’t guess it, so how could he guess?”
But this man was still worried: “What if? Ruan Shixing scolded people because he thought Wei Xi had a crush on him, but Wei Xi must know whether he has a crush on him or not!”
After that, he complained dejectedly, “You shouldn’t have done it so drastically. If your cousin didn’t want to get married, why didn’t you just let her make trouble with her family? She had to keep him hanging for so many years, and then make such a thing happen so that she could justify breaking off the engagement. It’s really too much. Wei Xi liked her so much, could he forcefully take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau? Is it necessary to force someone to a dead end?”
Xing Kai interrupted him: “You know nothing! This marriage was arranged when Wei Xi’s mother was alive. Do you think Wang Yue can just not get married if she doesn’t want to? Besides, do you really think Wei Xi likes her that much?”
The man was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face: “That’s not called love? Wei Xi is like a grandson in front of your cousin, almost praising her to the sky, okay?”
Xing Kai’s face darkened when he heard this: “He was after Wang Yue’s family’s money! Since he couldn’t possibly inherit the Wei family’s assets, he had to find a rich wife. If Wang Yue hadn’t discovered by chance that his father didn’t value him at all, she would probably still be kept in the dark.”
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the car, and his friends all had different expressions.
Xing Kai didn’t care what they thought. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and started the car. Although he said it with full confidence, he was still a little worried, so after thinking about it, he decided to go and check it out himself.
