Chapter 26 Information about the other kids
"I'm just a bird that has lost its freedom," Qiao Yiran said sadly, sitting with her arms wrapped around her legs and her chin resting on her knees, her eyes filled with longing for the outside world.
Jiang Liwu was stunned for a moment, and in a daze, she saw the shadow of Wei's mother in Qiao Yiran again. The last time she saw Wei's mother, Wei's mother had transformed into a free bird, but tragically, the bird's wings had already been broken and bleeding. So when she wanted to fly, her fate was destined to fall into the abyss.
The image of Wei's mother falling to her death flashed before her eyes, and Jiang Liwu frowned. "I will make Xiaofeng let you leave."
Qiao Yiran's eyes widened, her reaction somewhat intense. "Wei Xifeng will not let me leave. He will never listen to you on this matter." She emphasized these words as if she were speaking to herself.
"Although Xiao Feng is a bit stubborn and irritable, he's not entirely unreasonable." After saying that, Jiang Liwu left.
Watching Jiang Liwu's retreating figure, Qiao Yiran gritted her teeth, feeling flustered, anxious, and annoyed. She had already told Wei Xifeng that he wouldn't let her leave, so why was Jiang Liwu still doing all this futile work?
Will Wei Xifeng really not listen to Jiang Liwu? Actually, after witnessing Wei Xifeng's attitude towards Jiang Liwu time and time again, Qiao Yiran couldn't be 100% sure.
……
Besides learning about the eldest brother Fu Siyue's situation from Wei Xifeng, Jiang Liwu also learned about the other kids.
The second son, Si Mocheng, inherited the family business and is the true head of the Si Group, whose headquarters are located in the bustling city center.
Yan Wenyu, the third son, became an unparalleled superstar, famous throughout the world, an international film emperor, and frequently travels all over the world.
Yu Zaiyan, the heir to the pharmaceutical giant, was a genius from a young age. As an adult, he conquered many of the world's most difficult medical problems and was known as the man closest to God. Countless big shots wanted to ask him for help.
Sixth son Cui Yunye also had the hardest life. He relied on his grandmother, who made a living by collecting recyclables, since he was a child. Later, his grandmother left him, and he became an orphan. Fortunately, he is doing well now and runs a game company.
However, the kids all have one thing in common: they are all extremely busy, so busy that they are rarely seen. They rarely even contact each other, let alone get them together.
Therefore, if Jiang Liwu wanted to see them, she could only do so one by one.
When Wei Xifeng saw that Jiang Liwu had indeed diverted her attention and focus from him after learning about the other people, he became extremely jealous.
He tried his best to capture Jiang Liwu's heart and mind, and he wanted Jiang Liwu to accompany him in everything he did.
Jiang Liwu's company was needed for work, but some work collaborations inevitably involved Si Mocheng.
Watching TV and movies with Jiang Liwu was supposed to be a shared experience, but the first thing you'd see was Yan Wenyu starring, and switching channels would turn into promotions for high-end luxury brands featuring Yan Wenyu. Then you'd have to listen to Jiang Liwu praising Yan Wenyu's good looks and acting skills, how he'd transformed from a cute little boy into a stunningly handsome, aloof man, and how gratifying it was that Yan Wenyu had become such a dazzling presence on the world's big screen.
Finally, it was lunchtime, and Wei Xifeng hurriedly suggested going out to eat. Jiang Liwu quickly got up and put Yan Wenyu's filming of TV dramas out of her mind. She had no resistance to enjoying delicious food.
Seeing this, Wei Xifeng finally cheered up. He naturally turned off Yan Wenyu's face on the screen. As it turned out, the car he took when he set off was developed by Fu Siyue, and the restaurant he arrived at was a chain store opened by Si Mocheng.
Jiang Liwu has a strong palate, enjoying spicy, sweet, and meaty flavors. Coupled with her somewhat vengeful eating habits—wanting to try everything—Wei Xifeng ended up getting a sore throat and other ailments. Jiang Liwu advised him not to be so stubborn and not to indulge her too much, but Wei Xifeng wouldn't listen. He ended up taking medicine to clear heat, detoxify, and reduce inflammation, and a small red pimple appeared on his forehead, thankfully hidden by his hair and not affecting his appearance. However, the medicine he took and the acne cream he applied were both Yu Zaiyan's proprietary products.
Wei Xifeng: "..." Damn it, it seems like I've been entangled by something evil :)
He turned around and, taking advantage of Jiang Liwu's inattention, threw out the anti-inflammatory medicine and ointment.
As a result, Jiang Liwu caught him red-handed.
Jiang Liwu crossed her arms and looked at him as if he were a naughty and eccentric child. "Xiao Feng, do you not like taking medicine or the taste of ointment?"
Wei Xifeng: "Hmm." Could he say that he disliked Yu Zaiyan even more?
Jiang Liwu: "But this way you'll recover faster, you know? You can't be so willful next time."
Wei Xifeng lowered his head and became obedient.
Jiang Liwu rubbed his head and looked at him with a smile.
Feeling frustrated, Wei Xifeng decided to relax by playing games with Jiang Liwu, only to find that every game they played was made by Cui Yunye's company.
The most outrageous thing is that Jiang Liwu has become obsessed with the most popular game currently under Cui Yunye's company: Dawn of the Promise.
Wei Xifeng felt as if he were home but his house had been raided. His face was ashen, as black as the bottom of a pot, and the veins on his forehead bulged and throbbed.
However, Wei Xifeng turned his head to look at Jiang Liwu, who was wearing headphones and focused on operating the game character beside him. A peaceful smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. It felt good to have Jiang Liwu with him. It felt especially good to have family with you.
Every minute and every second no longer felt so unbearable, so lonely and desolate. Time has a warmth to it.
In the past, Qiao Yiran had always accompanied him in doing all sorts of things, and it was only under his unquestionable coercion that she would reluctantly force a smile and stay by his side.
Over the past three years, Wei Xifeng has grown accustomed to having Qiao Yiran accompany him, and to having her stay in his territory and within his sight.
But over the past few days, he had almost forgotten about Qiao Yiran's existence.
Until nightfall, Qiao Yiran appeared in his room wearing a thin white sundress. He had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist.
Because his hair wasn't dry, tiny water droplets dripped down his neat, unruly dark hair and landed on his well-defined, wild muscles.
Qiao Yiran felt a wave of heat wash over her, her face flushed, her heart pounded, and she felt breathless.
She had always known that Wei Xifeng had a great physique—188 cm tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and eight-pack abs—but she still felt shy every time she saw him, especially with that handsome face. He was the dream lover of every girl.
Qiao Yiran bit her lip, stunned.
Wei Xifeng's cold and indifferent gaze swept over Qiao Yiran, and he frowned slightly with impatience. "Do you have something to say?"
Qiao Yiran snapped out of her daze, remembering her purpose: "Can you help me with my father's matter?"
"Please." These two words seemed difficult to utter. Qiao Yiran bit her lip tightly, and her fingers gripping the hem of her skirt turned white with force.
