Chapter 365 – Scheming Wei
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It turned out that after her aunt left home, her life was so… shocking.
“At that time, I was very thin and weak. You probably don’t know, but I was a child from the orphanage. The orphanage didn’t have enough food to eat, and I was already small and thin. After I got kidnapped by human traffickers, I became even more malnourished. Your aunt didn’t study at that time. She worked in a bar, and she was the one who earned money for me to study. Middle school, high school, university…
“After I graduated, I left the city with her and went to another place to settle down. No one knew where we came from. I married her. When she was thirty, she got pregnant with Xiao Ao. When she was thirty-one, she gave birth to Xiao Ao. When she was thirty-two…”
Even if he didn’t say it, Jiaren Wu understood.
She died when she was thirty-two.
Jiaren Wu’s memory of her aunt was rather vague. Occasionally, when she thought of her only relative, she would fantasize that her aunt might still be alive, living well in a place she did not know.
But now, that tiny bit of hope was completely cut off.
If Grandpa knew what happened to Aunt all those years ago, he probably wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.
After figuring out her relationship with Dongli Shenghua, Jiaren Wu said, “In that case, I should call you uncle.”
Dongli Shenghua was speechless.
“No, let’s change the title.” Dongli Shenghua did not want to be her uncle.
“What, you want me to call you husband?” Jiaren Wu smirked. “That’s messy.”
Dongli Shenghua’s expression changed.
Jiaren Wu didn’t want to argue with him anymore. She pushed open the car door and left.
Dongli Shenghua watched her walk into the compound until she was out of sight, then looked away.
“She was her aunt?”
Well, if they weren’t relatives, how could they look so similar?
Jiaren Wu turned into the district and walked toward her building. After walking for a distance, she suddenly turned around and looked under a tree.
The lights were dim, and the tree branches blocked out the light. She saw a slender figure standing under a tree, and the dim light elongated his figure. Jiaren Wu’s heart trembled, and she was a little shocked. Has he been here for a long time?
Jiaren Wu quickly turned around and walked toward that person.
As that person got closer, the smile on his face became clearer.
“Brother Wei…”
Wei Shuyi kept looking at her. When she walked up to him, he finally moved. He reached out his hand and held Jiaren Wu’s left hand.
Jiaren Wu lowered her head in confusion. She saw him using his right hand to rub the skin on her wrist. His expression was still calm and peaceful, like a painting, but his gaze was filled with disgust and tyranny.
He saw it.
“It’s not what you think…” Jiaren Wu wanted to defend herself.
Wei Shuyi rubbed her wrist until it was red. Jiaren Wu felt the pain and tried to pull it back. She was stunned for a moment before Wei Shuyi released her hand.
Jiaren Wu hid her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with grievance.
“I have nothing to do with him.”
“Then why did you return to his car?”
Wei Shuyi’s voice was cold.
However, after they had not seen each other for a day, there seemed to be an invisible wall between them.
He did not flare up at her, and his voice was not harsh, but Jiaren Wu felt terrible hearing it.
“Don’t be angry. Let me explain first.”
“Tell me.”
Wei Shuyi told himself that he must listen to her explanation. I must not make wild guesses based on what I saw.
Jiaren Wu summarized what had just happened. “Dongli Shenghua’s ex-wife and Dongli Ao’s mother is my aunt.”
Wei Shuyi was surprised.
“Your aunt? Why didn’t I hear you say that?”
“My father had a biological younger sister. The two of them looked very similar. However, when my aunt was 17 years old, my grandfather chased her out of our house.” Jiaren Wu did not tell Wei Shuyi about her aunt being violated by her teacher. She also wanted to leave some dignity for her family.
“So that’s how it is.”
Wei Shuyi’s anger subsided.
“But the thought of him touching your hand makes me sick.”
Jiaren Wu raised her left hand and shook it at Wei Shuyi before saying, “Let’s go wash it now.”
“Okay.”
Wei Shuyi returned to Jiaren Wu’s house, and she went to wash her hands.
“I’ve thought about it carefully.” Wei Shuyi also came to the toilet and stood next to Jiaren Wu. He stared at the person washing her hands in the mirror. When she saw the person looking at her, she gave him a confused look. “If you don’t love me, it won’t hurt.”
Jiaren Wu looked at him steadily. She tilted her head and waited patiently for him.
“I can’t not love you.” He pinched her cheek and resigned himself to his fate. “Be good. Don’t make me get jealous too much. If I get too jealous, I’ll get tired too. There’s a saying that love fades when you grow tired. I might really give up on you so be careful.”
Jiaren Wu suddenly hugged Wei Shuyi.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you for what?”
“Thank you for your consideration and trust,” Jiaren Wu assured him. “Give me some more time. When I earn some money from Mr. Dongli and have the capital, I’ll resign and accompany you to the USA.”
“Okay.”
With that said, the two of them were no longer depressed.
Jiaren Wu grabbed Wei Shuyi’s collar and coquettishly said, “I haven’t touched you for so many days. I miss you so much.”
Wei Shuyi was puzzled and asked her, “Did you miss me or my body?”
“Both.” As she said this, one of her legs had already reached his waist. She hooked her legs around his waist, jumped up, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Jiaren Wu began to kiss him shamelessly.
Wei Shuyi had been holding it in for many days.
The dry firewood that was exposed to the sun burned at one point.
It was as if Wei Shuyi were punishing her. He wanted her to be especially ruthless. He was no longer as gentle and tender as he used to be. Instead, he was more rough and deliberate. Jiaren Wu was willing to play along with him. After he was done, she even sighed with emotion and said, “It feels good to be rough occasionally.”
When Wei Shuyi heard this, he felt that he had wasted his feelings.
“Should we try something else another day?” he casually asked.
Hearing this, Jiaren Wu revealed an excited expression.
She turned sideways to face Wei Shuyi and suggested, “I know. We have a very special hotel in our city. There are all kinds of toys inside it. As long as you want something, you can find it there. How about that? Do you want to play there?”
Wei Shuyi was stunned.
“How did you know?”
“I heard from my colleagues when I was a police officer.”
Wei Shuyi thought for a while and was slightly tempted.
“O-Okay.”
He thought: When I go to that hotel, I have to educate Jiaren Wu.
Jiaren Wu was thinking: When the time comes, I must whip Wei Shuyi and let him know what it means to dote on his wife.
Early in the morning, both of them woke up at the same time and realized that it was a little late.
The two of them rushed to brush their teeth and wash their faces. Once everything was settled, they left home at the same time. They bought breakfast at a restaurant outside the neighborhood. Wei Shuyi drove to work while Jiaren Wu took a taxi to Dongli Shenghua’s house.
When Jiaren Wu arrived at Villa No. 7, she almost called Dongli Shenghua uncle after seeing him.
Fortunately, she corrected herself. “Mr. Dongli, can we go to the company now?”
“Yeah.”
After knowing her relationship with Nabing, Dongli Shenghua seemed to have become closer to her.
She was Nabing’s only family in this world, after all.
Jiaren Wu bent down and opened the car door. She then invited Dongli Shenghua to get in.
Dongli Shenghua stared at her neck, his gaze dark and unclear as if he was somewhat displeased.
Noticing that he was standing behind her and refusing to get into the car, Jiaren Wu asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”
“Miss Wu.” Dongli Shenghua’s tone was a little cold. Jiaren Wu felt a sense of respect and unconsciously straightened her back. Dongli Shenghua’s gaze lingered on the hickey on the back of her neck for a moment before he said, “Pay more attention to your image. It’s unprofessional to go to work with ambiguous traces.”
With that, he got into the car.
Jiaren Wu sat in the passenger seat and took out a small mirror from her bag. She looked around her body and found two dark bruises on the back of her neck.
She secretly sent Wei Shuyi a WeChat message.
Alluring Beauty: [You did it on purpose!]
Wei Shuyi was asking about the condition of a heart patient when his phone vibrated in his pocket. His voice paused for a moment before returning to normal. “I think he will be discharged next week. When he gets home, he should rest for a few months. Don’t do any heavy work. Don’t even do any light work for the first two months.”
“Alright, Doctor Wei.”
“Then rest well.”
After saying that, Wei Shuyi left the ward. When he went to the next ward, he took out his phone and took a look.
When he saw the message from Jiaren Wu, his lips curled up slightly.
Throwing the phone into his pocket, he went to the next ward.
When couples reconcile after a quarrel, they would have to spend some time together.
In the following month, Jiaren Wu and Wei Shuyi got along quite well.
On National Day in October, Wei Shuyi planned to go to Xi’an with Jiaren Wu. However, Dongli Shenghua was going to Japan on a business trip, so Jiaren Wu had to go with him. There were many patients in Deep Sea Hospital, so the couple postponed their trip. They only went to Xi’an at the end of October..
