Little Terrified Bun Chapter 75

“Don’t be mad Mrs.
Wei, Wei Zhe is just a kid.
Take a sip of the tea and let it pass.” Zhao Wanwan handed Grandma Wei a cup of chrysanthemum tea with her brightly colored nails and an understanding smile.

The teenager beside the woman also jumped in to help.
“Grandma, Xiao Zhe is still too young.
Don’t take it to heart.”

Wei Yuhui’s straightforward and honest appearance gave others the impression that he was mature and reliable.
Now that he spoke to help out, people who weren’t aware of his personality would really think that he was talking for Wei Zhe.

Grandma Wei let out a cold scoff and continued, “He’s already a teenager.
Back in my day, kids his age were already the backbone of their households, taking care of all the dirty and exhausting work.
Unlike this generation, who enjoy good food and drinks, yet don’t know the basic manners of respecting elders.
What a…”

People like to recall the past when they age, and Grandma Wei wasn’t an exception.

“Grandma, your time back then was amazing.” Wei Yuhui gave her a thumbs up, pleasing Grandma Wei with a happy face.

“Nonono…” Grandma Wei waved her hands modestly while feeling so full of herself inside as her face revealed pride.
“My big brother was the amazing one.
He started from scratch, but he ended up with such a big business.
Back then, we had to use food stamps to buy  food …”

Grandma Wei continued to boast about herself while the other two people acted in concert to appear like they were listening devoutly and respectfully.

Wei Yuhui interrupted occasionally to ask questions, as if he was really curious about life in the eighties.

Oddly enough, Grandma Wei seemed to abhor Wei Zhe and all the other illegitimate children, but she was impressed by Wei Yuhui, going as far as to take money out of her own bank to support the mother and son.
For this reason, those two people strove to flatter Grandma Wei.

Upon hearing Grandma Wei’s comments, Wei Jing was only a step away from jumping up from his seat and pointing at her to talk back, but his big brother next to him pulled him down, signaling him not to talk.

The child sat angrily in one of the corner sofas and thought to himself, ‘who doesn’t know Grandma Wei had old grievances with father? Now that she couldn’t do anything to father, she projected them onto Big Brother.
A near-dead elder turned out to have such a narrow mind.’

But…Grandma Wei was so much more senior than him, he could only swallow his anger down his throat.

Wei Jing: QAQ

Due to that incident, Wei Jing lost his appetite during lunch.
While delivering scoops of rice into his mouth dispiritedly, he watched the other three people talking in harmony, then an evil idea came to his mind…

Since Wei He abhors Grandma Wei so much, then he must also abhor the mother and son who were so close to his enemy!

Don’t think Wei Jing didn’t know what they were thinking; they acted like they were helping Big Brother, but made negative comments inwardly.

After lunch, Wei Zhe and Wei Yuhui were called by Wei He to go to the study upstairs.

Wei Jing looked left and right; aside from the maid, there were only Grandma Wei and Zhao Wanwan on the first floor.
He took out his phone and scrolled through the news websites that he thought were too basic compared to that of his past life, then played some single player games that were built into the phone.

The two of them casted a glance at him.
Grandma Wei even let out a cold scoff.

Wei Jing put on a poker face, pretending that he didn’t hear.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Wei Jing heard Grandma Wei calling his name.
He looked up naturally as Grandma Wei asked a question casually, “Wei Zhe and you live outside, so is there anyone else in the house aside from you two?”

Wei Jing blinked his eyes and thought to himself, ‘Trying to gain information from me? No way!!!’

“Yes!” Wei Jing scratched his head while smiling reservedly and innocently, appearing silly yet cute.

Grandma Wei’s face turned gloomy.
Her cloudy eyes suddenly radiated needle-like sharpness, “Male or female? What do they look like? How old?” She followed up hastily.

“Auntie is probably about forty! Her body is slightly chubby, and her face too, and she’s very kind and nice.” Wei Jing cupped his cheek with one hand while his pair of short legs swayed back and forth.
Just as Grandma Wei started contemplating who the other person was, Wei Jing added with a bright smile, “Her cooking is also really good.”

“Cooking?” Zhao Wanwan and Grandma Wei’s couldn’t react to it immediately.

“En.” Wei Jing nodded confidently.
“The auntie that Big Brother hired has good cooking skills, I love the food that the auntie cooks.”

Grandma Wei: …

Looking at the other person’s gloomy face, Wei Jing felt refreshed.
Who told you to degrade my big brother before, now you’re being tricked! An eye for an eye hahahaha!

“He’s only a seven year old kid.
It makes sense for him to not understand the situation.
Don’t fuss about it.” Grandma Wei comforted herself and followed up, “Aside from the maid, is there someone else?”

“Does there need to be someone else?” Wei Jing widened his big, round eyes to show confusion.

Hearing this, Grandma Wei choked and suddenly became speechless.

Upon seeing the change in atmosphere, Zhao Wanwan quickly stepped in to ease the awkwardness.
With a gentle and fawning smile, she started coquettishly, “This child, how can you be so naughty? Grandma was only trying to care for you guys.
It’s not safe out there, you both would need an elder to attend to you.”

“There’s no need! We are doing good by living together.” Wei Jing was actually confused.
What are these two people trying to get out of him by beating around the bush?

Zhao Wanwan’s eyes dimmed upon hearing this.
She and Grandma Wei met each other’s gaze and said some perfunctory words to Wei Jing.
She then helped Grandma Wei to get upstairs to rest.

Inside the study.

The father and the two brothers sat in a triangle shape on the sofa.
On the tea table, there was a file, tea, and a delicate fruit platter served by the maid.
Wei He laid back on the sofa and pointed his fingers at the file.
“This is the piece of land on City A’s Xiyan Road that I auctioned back in November.
It has been almost 2 months now, and there are no signs that the government is going to build a highway at all.”

The man stared fixedly at Wei Zhe, revealing slight annoyance.

Wei Zhe pretended like he didn’t notice and reached for the document, starting to read it page by page.
The teenager’s reading speed was extremely fast, and he finished reading the entire document within three minutes.
