Chapter 109: A Single Mother Who Saved Her Autistic Son (28)
The father and son returned to the house next door and sat in the living room. Seeing Wei Zongquan's dead look, Old Wei snorted coldly: "It's been so long since I notified you, and you still haven't figured it out."
Wei Zongquan didn't care about his father's ridicule. He skillfully brewed and poured tea, then placed a cup in front of his father.
"Did you see that? Wen Jin is a very smart kid. What are you still hesitating about?" Old Wei picked up the tea and glanced at his son.
"Wenxiu doesn't accept sending the child to the Wei family to be raised."
After hearing this, Mr. Wei's eyes widened. "How do you talk to them? Are you discussing or negotiating?"
Mr. Wei was so angry at his own son that he almost died.
"You are trying to steal someone's child."
Wei Zongquan frowned.
He naturally knew what the old man was thinking. The old man was so confident in giving Wenxiu the seat of his daughter-in-law. He was extremely picky about the daughters of famous families before.
"Why are you looking at me?" Old Man Wei said, "I've always had a pretty good eye for people. None of the ones your mother picked out for you are suitable. Aside from their family background and looks, none of them are a match for you at all."
"Wenxiu is so wonderful, gentle and virtuous, and most importantly, she's not stupid. I've heard that even though she doesn't have a degree, she can still make money as a tutor. She even took the adult college entrance exam some time ago. She's quite ambitious."
"She's pretty, no worse than those young women your mother introduced to me."
Faced with the old man's endless chatter, Wei Zongquan frowned.
It was fine when he was young, but in recent years his mother has become increasingly anxious about his marriage, often arranging parties and dating.
Wei Zongquan was extremely annoyed and often used being busy at work as an excuse to avoid dates arranged by his mother.
In recent years, he has been home less and less. Mrs. Wei can't catch her son to scold, so only old man Wei who is still at home is forced to be scolded. This makes his father very angry. Whenever he sees Wei Zongquan, he asks about his life plan.
Wei Zongquan did not tell his parents what happened seven years ago, and always made excuses saying that he had no time.
But there is indeed a better way now.
-
Because of what happened seven years ago, Wei Zongquan has an inexplicable aversion to women. Although it is not to the point where he finds it difficult to approach them, he will subconsciously resist any woman recommended by his mother.
Perhaps it was because the person who tied the bell must untie it, or perhaps it was because he subconsciously felt relieved when he saw Wenxiu, relieved that she was not a woman with squinting eyes and a crooked mouth.
Although I didn't feel anything after interacting with her, at least I didn't have the subconscious aversion I had towards other women.
Moreover, he also likes his unfamiliar son very much, as they even have similar hobbies.
After figuring it out, Wei Zongquan knocked on Wenxiu's door on the third day with the new agreement.
No one opened the door.
Wei Zongquan stood at the door for a long time. He didn't have Wenxiu's contact information, so he dialed a number.
"Where did they go?"
"Mr. Wei, Mrs. Wen drove to the city this morning, and the young master is at the neighbor's house next door."
Wei Zongquan frowned. This woman was so careless that she just left the child at someone else's house.
He knocked on the door of the Guo family next door.
Sister Guo and her husband went to the vegetable garden, and it was the pregnant Guo Qian who opened the door.
At first glance, he was a tall, well-dressed man with a stern and cold expression. He looked somewhat familiar.
Guo Qian asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Did Wenxiu leave Wenjin at your house?"
Guo Qian immediately became alert: "Who are you?"
Wei Zongquan said calmly: "I am Wen Jin's father."
Guo Qian: ???
".......You." Guo Qian was speechless for a moment and stared at the other person in a daze.
The subtle discomfort in Wei Zongquan's heart came back, and he frowned unconsciously. Only then did Guo Qian come back to her senses.
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiuxiu didn't tell us about you." She called Wen Jin over, "Xiao Jin, your father is here to see you."
Wen Jin was clearly playing Go in the yard, but he didn't react at all.
Wei Zongquan: ...
Guo Qian: Hmm...
She looked at Wei Zongquan suspiciously.
It is true that the two look very similar, but Wenxiu never mentioned Wen Jin's father at all, and judging from Wen Jin's reaction, they don't seem very familiar with each other.
Perhaps because the other person didn't look like a liar, Guo Qian had no choice but to invite him in first.
Wen Jin refused to leave, and Wei Zongquan had no choice but to nod politely and then step into the yard.
...
This was the scene Wenxiu saw when she came back.
The two of them were sitting in the yard of Sister Guo's house playing chess. Guo Qian was sitting in the distance knitting a sweater, and a white dog was lying at Guo Qian's feet.
It looks like a family atmosphere.
The weather was good today, with a little sunshine. The sunlight shone on the two of them, making them feel warm.
Guo Qian saw Wenxiu, then glanced at Wei Zongquan and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
"Sister Xiuxiu, that man is... uh." Guo Qian didn't know what to say: "Wen Jin's father?"
Wenxiu nodded: "Yeah."
She called out Wen Jin. Wen Jin looked up and saw that it was Wen Xiu. He immediately dropped the chess piece in his hand, ran out, and hugged Wen Xiu's waist.
Wenxiu glanced at Wei Zongquan, then said to Wen Jin, "Didn't Mom give you the key to your house?"
She had to go out to do something in the morning, and it was inconvenient to take Wen Jin with her, so she had to leave her at Sister Guo's house, but she also gave Wen Jin the key to the front door of her house.
At this time, Wei Zongquan also walked out of the Guo family's yard and walked to Wenxiu's side.
Wenxiu was talking to Guo Qian: "Auntie Guo hasn't come back yet?"
"Well, it's been raining for so long and I haven't been there. I guess I stayed a little too long."
Wenxiu said, "If you haven't come back by noon, come to my house for dinner. I bought some mutton. It won't keep you warm."
Guo Qian nodded and glanced at Wei Zongquan.
In fact, she was a little scared of being alone in the yard with her, but she had to take care of Wen Jin, and she couldn't afford it if something happened.
Wei Zongquan was not good at dealing with women, so he took Wen Jin back next door a long time ago.
Guo Qian breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the man leave: "Sister Xiuxiu, I thought he was a liar at first, but Wen Jin looks really like him, otherwise I wouldn't dare let him in."
Wen Xiu smiled and said, "We are father and son after all. You've been out in the wind for so long, don't get cold. Come in quickly, and remember to come to my place for dinner if no one comes back."
"Okay." Guo Qian nodded.
...
"Why are you here again?"
As soon as the door closed, Wenxiu frowned and looked at the other person.
Wei Zongquan handed her a new document.
When Wenxiu saw the words "Marriage Agreement" written in capital letters on the document, she wanted to throw the document in his face.
But soon, she weighed the pros and cons in her mind.
The system then spoke: [Isn't this great? You can live together from now on.]
Marriage is indeed beneficial to Wen Jin's growth, but she cannot agree to it so rashly.
"Let me think about it." Wenxiu's face showed no expression, and even Wei Zongquan couldn't tell what her attitude was towards this.
But he was not so stingy as to force the other party to agree now.
"I'll order lunch at noon, you don't have to cook." Wei Zongquan said.
Wenxiu glanced at him, wondering if someone had eaten too much carrots from yesterday's dinner.
She handed a bunch of keys to Wei Zongquan and said, "I have to go on a business trip for two days in a few days, so I'll leave Wen Jin in your care."
Wei Zongquan nodded and took it.
Even though the system was watching them, Wen Xiu was not worried. With her around, Wen Jin was more attached to her, and she also wanted to see if their way of getting along would change when she was not around.
