Chapter 117: A Single Mother Who Saved Her Autistic Son (36)
Wenxiu had been feeling a little unwell on the plane. Wei Zongquan put down his tablet and said, "I'll go get her."
The guest room was on the second floor and the door was open. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Wenxiu coming out of the bathroom in the room.
Her face was pale and she looked a little listless.
Wei Zongquan frowned and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Wenxiu shook her head.
This was a long-standing problem for the original owner. She'd experience stomach aches, back pain, and general weakness before her period. Plus, she'd been soaking in the sea for the past few days, so she probably caught a cold.
Wei Zongquan thought she had a fever, so he walked in and touched her forehead with his fingertips.
Wenxiu subconsciously dodged, "I don't have a fever, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Is it time to eat? I'll be down right away."
Wei Zongquan withdrew his hand, stared at her for a while, and then walked away.
After a while, a servant came over and gave her some mugwort bags for hot compress.
Although she felt unwell, she couldn't stay in her room forever. Wenxiu asked the system to temporarily block her pain, then packed up and went downstairs.
...
At the dinner table, Wei Zongquan said to Madam Wei, "I will take Wen Jin with me to Mr. Yuan's birthday party next month."
Mrs. Wei frowned and put down the cutlery in her hand: "Do you think it's appropriate?"
Mr. Wei immediately said, "Why is it inappropriate?"
"It's the old man's 80th birthday. Is it appropriate for you to jump around there to attract attention?" Mrs. Wei glared at him.
"Can't we bring some joy to the old man?"
Madam Wei was too lazy to argue with him. She looked at Wei Zongquan and said coldly, "Do you want the Wei family to become a topic of conversation for others? In short, I will not agree to it."
The Wei family has always been honest and upright. If it gets out that they have a child out of wedlock and the child is already six or seven years old, how will others view them?
Because of the presence of the child, she did not express it clearly, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear that she did not agree or welcome it.
Mrs. Wei held her breath. She looked at Wenxiu and found that she didn't care about their internal discussion at all. She was eating quietly by herself with elegant table manners.
The children are like her, they don't talk much or make any noise, they eat neatly and they have pretty good upbringing.
But she would never accept a woman of unknown origin as her daughter-in-law, who had no education and no family background.
Wei Zongquan had already frowned upon hearing his mother's words. He put down his cutlery and said without hesitation, "Mom, Wen Jin will be my sole heir from now on, and Wen Xiu is the person I've already decided on as my marriage partner. I'm just passing this on to you; your consent isn't required."
When Mrs. Wei heard his words, her expression was so shocked that she lost control. She raised her voice, "Wei Zongquan! Are you crazy?" Let a child with an illegitimate background be his heir? That child is six years old and can remember things, and he is also autistic!
Wenxiu's head hurt from the noise. She picked up the napkin beside her and wiped her mouth. "I'm full. Enjoy your meal." After saying that, she prepared to leave.
Mrs. Wei was enraged by her attitude. In her eyes, this was a provocation from Wen Xiusheng. She could no longer tolerate it: "Wei Zongquan, don't forget that I also own a portion of Yuehai's shares."
Mr. Wei tapped his wine glass with a knife. "Hey, hey, hey, I haven't stepped down as chairman yet! Wei Zongquan, stop talking to me. Do you know what respect is? I haven't even let you take my seat yet."
"And you, the child is still here, don't scare them, you don't act like an elder at all." Old Wei glanced at his wife and children with dissatisfaction, then smiled and said to Wenxiu, "Wenxiu, she didn't mean that. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Mrs. Wei was so angry that she kicked her husband under the table and said, "Don't judge me like that."
Wen Xiu smiled faintly and explained, "I'm sorry, you don't need to argue about this, because I have no intention of joining your family, let alone coveting any of the Wei family's property. Giving birth to Wen Jin was an accident, and Wei Zongquan should know this. I am capable of raising Wen Jin and providing him with food and clothing. It's just that as a mother, I want to provide him with a better environment to grow up in. After all, the absence of a father figure may affect his development in all aspects."
Children without a father will not only be affected in their psychological and behavioral development, but may also have a weakened ability to adapt to society and may also be affected in their gender role identification.
Especially for boys, the lack of a father figure will make them cowardly and evade responsibility.
"I don't ask him to be an outstanding talent, but I hope he can have a sound personality."
Wen Xiu looked at Wei Zongquan and said, "Since you haven't reached an agreement among yourselves, I won't force it. It's just that we are victims, and as his mother, I need to help Wen Jin fight for his rights. We will go home after lunch, and I'll have to trouble you to draw up a new document, noting the alimony payment due, and visit him at least three times a month."
"And the most important point is that I don't want him to be harassed by too many people, and his information privacy needs to be protected." After Wen Xiu finished speaking, she prepared to go upstairs to pack her things.
Wei Zongquan didn't expect Wenxiu to draw the line directly. He stood up and chased after her, trying to hold Wenxiu back.
At this moment, two huge Tibetan mastiffs suddenly walked out of the corridor, with scarlet tongues hanging out and walked towards the restaurant ferociously.
This scene was so sudden that Wenxiu was startled. Her attention was instantly drawn to the two large dogs. She missed a step and fell down the stairs. In an instant, cold sweat covered her whole body and her heart was pounding like a drum.
Fortunately, the stairs she stepped on were not high, and the system had just blocked her sense of pain, so she didn't feel anything on her body. However, she felt dizzy and the memories of being bitten by the vicious dog flooded her mind.
"Wenxiu!" Wei Zongquan quickly picked her up. Seeing her pale face and cold sweat on her forehead, he thought she had sprained her foot, so he quickly carried her to the sofa and put her down.
Mrs. Wei was also startled by this scene, and then frowned and said, "Who let them in? Take them out quickly."
The servant who hurried over said quickly, "I'm sorry, ma'am."
The Wei family had two long-haired mastiffs in their backyard, used to guard the house. They were usually locked in a kennel, and someone would take them out for a walk regularly. Just as he was about to put the leash on them, he was not paying attention when both dogs ran in.
"Call the doctor quickly." Wei Zongquan shouted.
At this moment, Wen Jin ran to Wen Xiu's side and snuggled up to her: "Mom, is it hurting?"
After the two dogs were taken away, Wen Xiucai slowly came to his senses. He looked tired and touched Wen Jin's hair.
"fine."
Wei Zongquan frowned; "Are you afraid of dogs?"
He remembered that the Wen family also had a dog.
Wenxiu didn't answer him.
The system has been regulating her emotional nerves in her mind, allowing her to calm down little by little.
But Wenxiu didn't want to stay in this house at all. She insisted on leaving despite Wei Zongquan's persuasion.
Wen Jin stuck to her, so naturally he followed her around.
Seeing this, Mr. Wei also comforted her and hoped that they could stay here for a few more days.
Wenxiu declined his kindness, and Wei Zongquan had no choice but to send her to the airport.
At the airport, Wen Xiu said to Wei Zongquan: "I won't sign the agreement you gave me before, but you can still come and see Wen Jin. He still accepts you very much."
"I'm sorry." Wei Zongquan pinched his brows, "I was inconsiderate."
"Everyone is thinking from their own perspective. It's human nature. I can understand Mrs. Wei." Wen Xiu was not really angry. Mrs. Wei was considering all the facts, but she would never let Wen Jin go to the Wei family again.
"So I hope you can understand me," Wen Xiu said sincerely. The rich are entangled, and if not all family members welcome them, she's genuinely worried that one day, after the mission is completed, no one will protect Wen Jin anymore.
After all, once the mission is completed, the original owner's body will be wiped out due to the loss of the soul.
