Seeing Wang Wei's dazed expression, Wang Xin sensed that her younger brother might be thinking something. She recalled that when she first met Zhou Xuan, she had the same thought. At that time, she genuinely believed that Zhou Xuan was after her beauty, but later she understood that Zhou Xuan simply wanted to help her, not wanting his compatriot to be bullied by outsiders. It was just a coincidence that they encountered this situation, not that he was there specifically for her. Later, because Wang Xin had been driven to the brink of despair, Zhou Xuan wanted to invite her to work for him, solving both her employment and safety issues.
Looking back now, Wang Xin feels like she had a dream, or like she had watched a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster and seen an extraordinary hero. But in that half-dream, half-awake state, the hero seemed to exist in her own real world.
"Little brother, is that all you think about your sister?" Wang Xin snorted, but not wanting to scold her brother too much, she added reproachfully, "Fine, little brother, since Mom and Dad have gone abroad with me, I'll leave half of the money to you so you can start your own business after you graduate from university!"
Wang Wei immediately shook his head and said, "Sister, I won't take any more of your or Mom and Dad's money. I'm all grown up now, and I'm not the child who needs your protection anymore. I'm a man, and it's my responsibility to support the family. So, sister, I absolutely refuse to take your money!"
Looking at this family, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but think of his younger brother, sister-in-law, and parents. Aren't they just like that? Parents dedicate themselves to their children, and younger siblings are willing to give everything for their older brother. Of course, Zhou Xuan is also willing to give everything for his parents and younger siblings.
Zhou Xuan was very touched to see another family that resembled their own. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, Wang Xin, I think we shouldn't try to persuade you anymore. But I have a suggestion, Wang Xin. You have a few thousand yuan in your bank card, right? Just put it with Wang Wei for now, just in case. If Wang Wei doesn't need it, you can use it when you come back to China later. It won't be a problem!"
Wang Xin was taken aback, wondering which card only had a few thousand yuan in it. She only had two cards, each with five million yuan in it, so she really didn't know what Zhou Xuan meant. However, when she saw Zhou Xuan's expression, she immediately knew that he was saying this on purpose. Anyway, her brother didn't know how much money was in the cards, so the less he said, the easier it would be for him to accept.
Once Wang Xin understood, she immediately took out both bank cards, then deliberately picked one out in front of Wang Wei, handing it to him and saying, "Little brother, there's five thousand yuan in here. Take it with you in case you're prepared. Since you insist, I won't continue. It's just five thousand yuan, not a large sum. If you don't take this five thousand yuan, your sister really won't forgive you!"
Wang Wei thought that if it was only five thousand yuan, it wasn't a big deal. After thinking for a moment, he accepted the bank card and said, "Sister, Mom and Dad, I'll take this bank card. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mom and Dad. As soon as I graduate and get my bachelor's degree, I'll immediately apply for a job at Brother Zhou's company!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll congratulate you in advance and welcome you!"
Wang Wei said, "Brother Zhou, I sincerely thank you. Thank you for helping my sister and my parents. This makes me happier than being given a second life!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and waved his hand, saying nothing more. Upon seeing Zhou Xuan's expression, Wang Xin immediately said to her younger brother and parents, "Mom and Dad, brother, I originally wanted the whole family to go together, but my brother wants to start his own business, so I should give him a chance and let him finish his university studies in China. We'll talk about it after he graduates!"
Wang Xin's father, Wang Dacheng, also advised, "Weiwei, your sister is right. In any case, you should finish your studies first. Brother Zhou is a good person, and I don't think I need to say anything more!"
Wang Xin only said that Zhou Xuan was a good person, but she didn't say that she would definitely wait until Wang Wei graduated to have him come over. Even if Zhou Xuan agreed, she didn't want her brother's path to be too easy. Besides, no one knows what the world will be like in a few years. Maybe by then, Wang Wei will have his own career and won't want to work for a big company. These are all uncertain factors. After all, there are still a few years to go, and no one has the ability to know what will happen in a few years.
Seeing that his sister and parents were staring at him, Wang Wei had no choice but to put the card away and said, "Sister, Mom and Dad, I'll take this bank card. I'll use it if I need it, and I'll keep it safe if I don't!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xin knew that her brother would never use the money. But he was alone in the country, and who knew if he might encounter difficulties? Having this card in hand would definitely be much better. Even the most ambitious and determined person would face difficulties, and only then would the money in the card be of use!
Volume 1, Chapter 677: Wei Xiaoqing, Drunk
Wang Wei was unaware that there was five million yuan in cash in the card his sister gave him. In order not to upset or worry his sister and parents, he put the bank card away.
Wang Xin's parents understood that Wang Xin had given them his cards and cash back in their hometown, but they didn't believe him at the time. Later, when Mayor Liu and others arrived and arrested Zhou Xuan, they hurriedly went to the city to catch a flight to Beijing.
Seeing the heartwarming scene of this family of four, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but think of his younger siblings. If only... The thought made Zhou Xuan yearn even more for such an independent kingdom, where he could bring his entire family to live a carefree life. He could hire professional managers to handle their businesses around the world. In fact, his current wealth was enough for his family to live a luxurious life, and those businesses were also continuously providing them with financial support.
Of course, even if these businesses didn't make any money, Zhou Xuan wouldn't worry. He could produce gold and sell it without limit, so money was no problem for him.
Zhou Xuan stood there for a while, then quietly left the room. Anyway, Wang Xin's family's passports hadn't been processed yet and would take a few days. Once the passports were ready, Wang Xin would be his right-hand woman, and he could let her handle everything, both public and private.
After leaving the room, I stayed in my room for a while. I wanted to go see my old friends, but I was a little hesitant. I especially wanted to see Wei Haihong, the older brother who was even better to me than my own brother. I really missed him!
Zhou Xuan understood why Wei Haihong stopped contacting him. He felt guilty about what his second brother, Wei Haihe, had done to him and about Fu Yuanshan, which had hurt him deeply. But in reality, Zhou Xuan didn't hate Wei Haihe much, and of course, he didn't hate Wei Haihong for what he had done to Wei Haihe. He had simply cooled down his passionate feelings and realized that many things in this world are very realistic, and everything is so fragile in the face of interests!
Now, Fu Yuanshan is far away in his mountainous hometown in another province, where he is probably well-off. Zhou Xuan misses him a little, but he heard that Fu Yuanshan is quite happy there. He has planted two acres of land, just to keep himself busy and practice his skills. Although his son doesn't earn a lot from his business, he still makes several hundred thousand yuan a year, enough for his family to live on. Fu Yuanshan and his wife live a farm life at home, taking care of their two- or three-year-old son, and they are living a carefree life. Zhou Xuan doesn't want to bother him!
Zhou Xuan took out his phone and found Wei Haihong's number in his contacts, but hesitated for a long time before pressing the button. While he was hesitating, his phone suddenly rang, and the shaking of the phone startled Zhou Xuan so much that he almost dropped it!
I quickly took out my phone to check the caller ID. It was Li Wei calling. I answered immediately, and Li Wei's very assertive voice came through!
“My dear brother, don’t disappear for days on end again. It’s rare for you to come back, come over for a drink and a chat. Ever since you left, I’ve lost my freedom. The old man, the old man, and Zhou Ying have been keeping a close watch on me. Brother, I’m living a life worse than death! I only managed to come out today because of you!” Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, “Where are you?” Li Wei immediately replied, “The bar on the first floor of the Jinxing Building on Northwest Ring Road…”
Before he could even finish saying "ba," Li Wei was startled to see Zhou Xuan standing in front of him with a smile. He stood up from his seat and said, "You...you're following me?" Besides the fact that she was following him and hiding outside the door, how could she have made a phone call and then suddenly appeared in front of him before he could even finish speaking?
Zhou Xuan smiled and sat down, reaching for a glass of wine on the table. Just as he was about to drink, he noticed a girl sitting at the table, staring at him in a daze.
"Ouch..." Zhou Xuan suddenly looked a little embarrassed. This girl was extremely beautiful, but she looked haggard and had a deep look in her eyes. It was actually Wei Xiaoqing!
I never dreamed I would run into Wei Xiaoqing at Li Wei's dinner table!
Li Wei, slightly drunk, pointed at Wei Xiaoqing and said, "Brother, Xiaoqing has been very depressed lately. I see she's become too thin. Let's invite her out for a good meal and a chat to cheer her up. You don't mind, do you?" How could Zhou Xuan possibly object? Besides, he hadn't expected this situation when he came. As soon as Li Wei spoke, Zhou Xuan flew over at an extraordinary speed. Because his flight speed was so fast, far exceeding what the human eye could perceive, he wasn't worried about anyone seeing him.
Zhou Xuan didn't expect Li Wei to call Wei Xiaoqing to accompany him. If he had known, he wouldn't have flown over so recklessly. Moreover, it wasn't Li Wei who deliberately called Wei Xiaoqing. Wei Xiaoqing herself didn't know she would run into Zhou Xuan. When Li Wei called Zhou Xuan while drunk, he didn't say he was calling Zhou Xuan. Wei Xiaoqing also knew that Zhou Xuan had gone overseas with Fu Ying, her husband, and her parents. Besides sadness, she felt endless longing. Missing someone is truly so painful.
Zhou Xuan gasped, immediately becoming embarrassed. Wei Xiaoqing said softly, "Look how scared you are. Are you that afraid to see me?" Zhou Xuan stammered, "No, no, I just didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
Wei Xiaoqing sighed again, grabbed her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. She then refilled her glass and drank that too, then poured it again and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Xuan immediately felt a pang of heartache and involuntarily reached out to hold Wei Xiaoqing's hand, saying, "Don't drink anymore, it's bad for your health!" Wei Xiaoqing's eyes reddened, and she coldly replied, "What's a little injury? It's this place that hurts!" As she spoke, she bent her finger and pointed to her chest.
It seemed Wei Xiaoqing had gotten quite drunk. If she were sober, she wouldn't have been so blunt. Zhou Xuan felt helpless; the only people he truly felt guilty about and found difficult to face were the Wei sisters, Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu. Now, Wei Xiaoyu was dead, leaving behind a child. If Wei Xiaoqing knew this, who knew what would happen? Of course, Zhou Xuan dared not and would not say anything about it. Seeing that Zhou Xuan wasn't letting go of her hand, and not knowing what to say, Wei Xiaoqing glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you want to control me? Do you want me to listen to you? Fine, divorce Yingying and marry me. I'll be obedient to you and make you happy. You think I'll listen to everything you say? Can you really do that?"
Li Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard Wei Xiaoqing's words, then laughed and said, "Xiaoqing, what are you saying? My brother has nothing to do with you. If you want him to divorce Li Liang's wife, you might as well kill him!"
"Oh, right!" Wei Xiaoqing's eyes reddened, and she said faintly, "Yes, if he were to divorce you, Sister-in-law Li Liang, he might as well be dead. What am I to him? I have no weight in his heart at all!"
Zhou Xuan awkwardly withdrew his hand, but Wei Xiaoqing became even angrier. She drank heavily again, lamenting to herself, "Since nobody cares about me or loves me anyway, I might as well drink myself to death!"
Li Wei was immediately amused by Wei Xiaoqing's words and said, "Xiaoqing, you're going too far. You think no one cares about you? Hehehe, I'm afraid that if you just open your mouth, the people pursuing you could stretch from the east gate to the west gate and still not be finished!" Wei Xiaoqing retorted angrily, "Li Wei, did you invite me here for drinks or to find fault with me?"
Li Wei immediately waved his hands and said, "No, no, I would never dare to criticize your grandma even if you beat me to death. I was just saying that. To be honest, I do have a few good old friends. Their character and family background are all acceptable. Xiaoqing, do you want me to introduce you to one?" Wei Xiaoqing immediately agreed, "Sure, let me introduce you to one!"
Li Wei had always known that Wei Xiaoqing had been living at home for so long, and that her family had introduced her to boyfriends, but she had refused them all. Hearing Wei Xiaoqing say this, he immediately asked, "No problem, tell me what kind of standard you want?" Wei Xiaoqing pointed to Zhou Xuan without hesitation and said, "Someone like him!"
Zhou Xuan lowered his head and remained silent. Both of them were clearly drunk, speaking bluntly and without any restraint!
Li Wei said "Oh," and then said somewhat awkwardly, "You want someone like my Xuan-ge? That's hard to find, one of a kind. Let me think about it some more, is there anyone with similar wealth and assets to him?"
Li Wei assumed Wei Xiaoqing meant someone whose wealth was the same as Zhou Xuan's. Others might not know, but Li Wei was well aware that Zhou Xuan's wealth was incomparable to ordinary people. Even his own wealth was tens of billions of RMB, and now he owned the entire Fu family's fortune. The Fu family's current wealth was an astonishing mountain of gold; the world's richest person was several times richer than the second-richest. If Wei Xiaoqing's condition was this, it would be truly difficult to find someone with such wealth. Wei Xiaoqing snorted, "Who said I wanted wealth? What do you need so much money for? Li Wei, are you obsessed with money? I said I want someone who looks exactly like him, otherwise, forget it!"
Li Wei had also been drinking and was a bit dizzy; otherwise, he would have realized something was wrong with Wei Xiaoqing's explicit words. He had been unaware of the affair between Wei Xiaoqing and Zhou Xuan all along, which is why he was so slow to realize it.
Upon hearing Wei Xiaoqing's words, Li Wei paused, then looked troubled and said, "Well... it's really difficult to find someone who looks exactly like my brother-in-law. I need to find some time to ask my parents-in-law if they had any illegitimate children back then. If they did, it's possible that they might look like my brother-in-law..."
"Li Wei!" Zhou Xuan shouted suddenly. Hearing Li Wei's increasingly outrageous words, he immediately shouted. Li Wei was startled and sobered up a bit. He immediately became sober. With Zhou Xuan by his side, how could Zhou Xuan, who valued filial piety above all else, not be angry that he had said such nonsense about his parents?
