Wei De’s expression changed because of Zhai Hua’s words. “You’ve gone too far in saying that. Don’t you know how sensitive Xiao Wei has been because he doesn’t have a father? Don’t you dare say such a thing in front of Xiao Wei. He’ll be hurt! Xiao Wei was young and insensible in the past, but he’s admitted his mistake. As an elder, don’t you think that you should give Xiao Wei a chance to correct his mistake? Can you forgive Xiao Wei? He really likes you.” And he really needed his aunt’s help as well.
Zhai Hua sat straight up and the coldness in her expression was even clearer. “Why didn’t I see you telling your mom these things? Your mom treats Wei Wei well and cares more about Wei Wei. If I don’t favor Jiajia, I’m afraid that she might be hurt.”
There were so many people who loved and adored Wei Wei. They did not need another one to adore him. But apart from her, there was no one else who loved Jiajia, so it was only natural for her to reserve all her love for her daughter. Naturally, that would also mean that she had no extra time to care about Wei Wei.
“You…” Wei De had nothing to say at the mention of his mom. “Yes, it’s true that my mom cares more about Wei Wei, but isn’t that because Wei Wei is her grandson? She’s advanced in age. Why are you being so petty with her? Don’t you know to respect your elders and love your juniors? You’ve done neither.”
“Wei De, do you mean that one may steal a horse while another can’t even look over a hedge? Your mom is an old foggy and treats Wei Wei better than Jiajia. Not only do you not feel bad for Jiajia, but you’re even asking me to respect your mom and not take issue with that? All right, I won’t. I can’t be bothered to talk to you guys. Do you think I’m doing something wrong by treating my daughter well and not wanting to love a child who doesn’t have a father? Wei Wei, how can you be so shameless? Do you really think that I’ll only be a good daughter-in-law if I think about the Wei family in everything that I do and have my world revolve around your family?”
Did he really think that she had no temper just because she had not exploded?
Thinking about how aggrieved Jiajia had been because of the Wei family and how Jiajia had always been exceptionally quiet and refused to speak or smile in front of the Wei family, Zhai Hua’s heart ached.
Whose fault was it that her daughter was not close to her grandma at all? Was it not that old woman’s fault? As a father, Wei De had never once been on Jiajia’s side to comfort her. Instead, he always told Jiajia not to hold it against her grandma because of her age and that she had to be filial to her grandma.
Why should she?
“Wei De, don’t think I don’t know anything just because I haven’t said anything. Have you forgotten about how angry your mom was when I bought this house to give Jiajia a better living environment? Because of that, you were humiliated in the army and even threw a tantrum at me. In the eyes of your Wei family, a child without a father like Wei Wei is more important than Jiajia and is better than Jiajia in every way. Since you guys have made Wei Wei into a little emperor, what’s wrong with me spoiling Jiajia like a princess? Why? Will you only be happy only if I kneel before Wei Wei and sacrifice everything to be his slave? Do you guys really think that you’re the royal family?”
Recalling what the Wei family had done over the years, Zhai Hua truly thought that the family was insane!
“Are you happy now?” Wei Wei was not deaf. Quite on the contrary, his ears were rather sharp. Wei Wei, who was in high school, had overheard his aunt speak ill of him, and his self-esteem had been hurt badly. He looked at Jiajia with reddened eyes. “Yes, I might not have a father. You have a father and a mother, a complete family. You have a much more blissful life than me, so why can’t auntie care a little more about me?”
Was it because he had bullied Jiajia when he was young and insensible? His aunt was so petty! It had been more than ten years since that incident, but she was still speaking about him in this manner! She did not think that he was part of her family!
He hated this family to the guts and could not wait to go back to his grandparents. Apart from his mom, only his grandma loved him the most. His uncle said that he loved him like a father would, but he was only an uncle, after all. He could not compare to a real father.
Jiajia felt no better than Wei Wei, but in the face of Wei Wei’s accusations, she was not going to back down. “Of course I’m happy. I’m proud to have a mom who loves me with all her heart. It’s all right that grandma and grandpa don’t like me or that Dad favors you. I still have the best mom in the world. I don’t care about anything else. I can give them all to you since you don’t have a father!”
Now that both Jiajia and Wei Wei had grown up, the conflict between the two of them had only intensified.
Jiajia disliked Wei Wei and had never had an amicable relationship with him from the start. But she had always known that her mom loved her and treated her well. Because she had heard her mother’s words firsthand, Jiajia was much more comforted.
Because of her family’s influence, Jiajia was still aware of some practical problems in real life. Jiajia knew that her dad had only been promoted to the rank of a company commander because he had married her mom. Wei Wei had his uncle, and his uncle treated him well. But she had her uncle too. She had heard that her uncle was a chief and that even her dad was afraid to meet her uncle. Her grandpa was even more impressive and was an old chief.
Jiajia had never said anything, but she had always taken whatever she had heard to heart. As such, Jiajia felt that the Wei family was trying to take advantage of the Zhai family. Her dad had married her mom with ulterior motives because her mom was a daughter of the Zhai family.
Wei Wei yearned to get some affection from her mom not because he truly liked his aunt but because her mom was a daughter of the Zhai family. As long as her mom was willing to put some effort into helping Wei Wei, he would be able to study in a better school and would have a better future. He might even get the chance to study abroad.
No one else in the Wei family could provide him with such a bright future apart from her mom. What Wei Wei cared about was not his aunt’s love and concern. It was the unbridled future that his capable aunt could provide him with that he was concerned about.
Jiajia was not of age yet but had gradually matured because of the cruel reality around her. She was not naive or a helpless romantic like usual junior high school girls were.
“You!” Wei Wei had not expected that his words would not evoke sympathy or comfort from Jiajia. In fact, Jiajia had said the exact same thing her mom had. Hearing her call him a fatherless child made Wei Wei so infuriated that he wanted to punch Jiajia straight in the face.
Jiajia knew that Wei Wei had been trained by Wei De since he was young and his martial arts skills were rather decent. That was why no one dared to provoke Wei Wei in school. “Why? Do you want to hit me? I dare you to touch me!”
