Chapter 289: Two Dads

Although I already had a foreshadowing of the Jiang family's family background in my heart, I was still deeply shocked after coming to this luxurious mansion.

There is a saying that poverty limits people's imagination, and although I am a successful person today, there is still not enough room for imagination. When I walked into this castle-like building, I really felt the true strength of the legendary Shanxi coal boss.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the number of words, this building does not need to be described too much, and I am afraid that I have to write 3,000 words to describe it......

On the way, according to Steward Chen, the young master and the young lady, Jiang Chengxiu and his wife, went to Sanya to participate in the energy summit organized by the central government, so he came to pick Wei up from school.

In the car, Steward Chen had already called the old Jiang couple in the house to inform us of our arrival, so when I entered the Jiang house, I saw a couple in their fifties coming out.

It's probably Wei Lai's grandparents.

The manhood is calm and introverted, and the calm and unhurried temperament can be seen at a glance that he was once a powerful figure, but now he has been added a layer of wisdom by the years. The woman is graceful and elegant, her skin is properly maintained, and she has a kind of rich and noble posture that the old Shanghai Tang woman has pampered all her life.

Seeing my arrival, the two of them did not hold a gesture at all, but greeted me with a very humble smile.

Wei Lai ran to my grandparents happily one step ahead of me, and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Grandparents, this is my other father, he came to see me!" As he spoke, his legs shrugged as if he was about to jump up excitedly.

The old man smiled and touched Wei Lai's head, walked up to me, stretched out his hands and held my hand for a long time.

"Mr. Wei! We've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally here! The old man's expression was sincere, obviously showing his true feelings.

I hurriedly replied politely: "Hello Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, my name is Wei Jinsheng, I'm sorry I'm late!" ”

"It's not too late, it's good to come, so that Wei Lai won't think about you all the time!" Mrs. Jiang was also smiling.

I hurriedly introduced Huai En who was standing next to me to them: "This is my friend, who came with me!" It's called Huai'en! ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she stepped forward and grabbed Huai'en's hand, looked at Huai'en's face and said, "Miss Huai'en is so handsome, it's so good, it's so good!" "I looked at Huai En and then at me with a smile, I knew that she had misunderstood, but there was no need to explain at this moment.

Huai Enqiao's face was slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed to be praised.

The two of them let me and Huai En into the house, and the woman hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Mr. Jiang talked to me in the house, and Steward Chen served us tea without instructing. Wei Lai was as intimate as a cat, and watched me talk to her grandfather.

"Wei Lai has always been thinking about Mr. Wei, Wei Lai has been talking about it for three years after going home for three years, but he is suffering from not having Mr. Wei's contact information, otherwise I would have sent someone to invite Mr. Wei to come as a guest!" The old man said with a smile.

I couldn't help but apologize for losing my address so I didn't come in the first place.

The old man nodded, with a look of finally understanding.

"Actually, I have always wanted to thank Mr. Wei in person, for teaching my good granddaughter so sensible, you are really the benefactor of our Jiang family, you must stay a little longer this time! It is also good that I have the opportunity to enjoy the friendship of the landlord, thanks to Mr. Wei! This is said with deep affection, but it makes me have a little respect for this old man, who has been in a high position all his life but can put his posture so low, this bearing is really rare. I hurriedly replied: "Mr. Jiang is polite, Wei Lai has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, I didn't teach her anything, but I followed me to live a poor life, but I wronged Wei Lai!" As I spoke, I couldn't help but reach out and stroke the little face of the future.

Old Man Jiang laughed and said: "The so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, even if you didn't teach her anything, but Mr. Wei's personality and character are the best example, so Wei Lai is smarter and more reasonable than all children of the same age at a young age, isn't this Mr. Wei's credit?" ”

Wei Lai also helped: "Grandpa is right, I don't feel wronged, Dad is very good to me, it's just that Dad loves to deceive people!" ”

I was stunned, lowered my head and asked Wei Lai in my arms, "What did Dad lie to Wei Lai?" ”

Wei Lai pouted and said: "Dad lied to me that the story of Journey to the West will be gone after the white bone spirit, in fact, there is still a long, long one, and Dad is unwilling to tell me!" Wei Lai looked at me with a serious face.

I suddenly blushed, I didn't expect that Wei Lai would know about the deception of Wei Lai, no wonder, Wei Lai will naturally come into contact with Journey to the West day by day, and naturally I will be able to know that I lied to her at the beginning. However, it was a little embarrassing to be exposed by Wei Lai on the spot.

When Huai En heard this, he seemed to be interested, and looked at me with interest and asked, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

I looked up at Huai En, who didn't think I was embarrassed enough, and then at Old Man Jiang, and found that he was also looking at me with a smile on his face.

I sneered and said to Wei Lai: "It's not because you don't sleep as soon as you hear the story of Journey to the West, do you remember that I fell asleep, and you still pulled my ear and asked me about the story behind." I'm going to lie to you, will you sleep when you're done? ”

Only then did Huai En and Old Man Jiang know what happened, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Wei Lai suddenly seemed to remember something at this time, took my hand and said, "Dad, you go to my room, I'll show you the pictures I painted!" ”

Out of politeness, it was inconvenient for me to leave, but Wei Lai pulled my hand vigorously, so I had to get up and smile apologetically at Old Man Jiang, stood up and was pulled by Wei Lai to another room, and Huai En naturally followed.

"Your room? Does Wei Lai have his own room? I couldn't help but wonder how dare she sleep alone when she was still a six-year-old child, and I couldn't help but be surprised by Wei Lai's boldness.

"yes!" Wei Lai replied indifferently.

When I came to Wei Lai's room, I saw that the whole room was decorated in pink tones, full of little princess atmosphere, a small carved shelf bed was full of all kinds of doll toys, the ceiling was decorated with starry sky patterns, and all kinds of stars and moon decorations were hung high and low, which looked beautiful and full of dreams.

On the small desk, there is a complete set of figures of the four masters and apprentices of Journey to the West, with realistic shapes and exquisite shapes, which must be worth a lot of money.

From these details, it can be seen that the Jiang family loves this child very much, and knows that she likes Journey to the West, so they will buy her these figurines as she likes.

I was worried that Wei Lai would not be able to integrate into the new family and adapt to the new environment, but seeing her and Mr. Jiang's intimate relationship, I knew that my worries were unnecessary.

My eyes immediately saw a few toys placed at the head of Huai'en's bed, which I had packed in Wei Lai's bag when she left, a windmill, a carriage and a few little rabbit wood carvings, all of which I had made for her with my own hands.

In the past few years, these wooden toys have been played with a little shiny, but they are still intact, and you can see from the position that Wei Lai cherishes these toys, and I think this is the only thing I left her. Thinking about this warms my heart.

Wei Lai took out a stack of paintings from the desk drawer, handed them to me, and said, "Dad, look, this is the picture I drew in kindergarten!" ”

I took the neat stack of drawing paper, looked at it one by one, and painted some plants or small animals on the paper, and painted them in large chunks according to the specific colors of things, green leaves, red flowers, and blue skies.

Although the brushstrokes are immature and the colors are stiff and not excessive, they can give people a sense of purity of the soul, because this is the initial cognition of the world by people, without a little worldly fireworks, it is the cleanest expression of the heart, and the view can give people a purifying power.

I looked through them one by one, and one of them was titled My Mom and Dad, and it showed a little girl with two pigtails, a man and a woman on the left side of the little girl, and another man on the right, this man had long hair, a black beard around his mouth, and a scar on his eyebrows. The little girl's hand was being held by the man.

I can't help but feel hot in my heart when I see this painting, I naturally know that the man painted by Wei Lai is me, although the lines are stiff and the painting is not like it at all, but she can grasp the characteristics of people very well, so that people can know what she is painting at a glance.

Especially when I saw that I was holding Wei Lai's hand in this painting, it was enough to show Wei Lai's attachment and longing for me. Only then did I realize that it was not my unrequited love in the past few years, why didn't Wei Lai miss me like me.

I stroked Wei Lai's little hand and felt my nose sour.

"My classmates laughed at me and said that everyone has only one father, so I didn't bother to explain it to them, and I didn't care if they laughed at me, I had two fathers, which they couldn't envy."

"Dad, do I look good?" Wei came to see me and asked, looking at me expectantly.

"Good-looking, of course good-looking, my Wei Lai is the best!" I rubbed Wei Lai's little head.

Wei Lai was very excited to receive my encouragement, and he couldn't help himself in my arms.

I showed these paintings to Huai'en and asked her to see her, she is a top student in the Academy of Fine Arts, and I want to hear her opinion.

Huai En naturally knew what I meant, and said to me after reading them one by one: "Although it is just some simple lines and rough coloring, there is no technique, but it captures the characteristics of things very well, and the coloring is also very accurate. ”

I nodded, convinced of Huai'en's words, after all, she was a professional.

I asked Wei Lai again, "Does Wei Lai like to paint?" ”

Wei Lai naturally understood that Huai En was praising her, and he was even more happy, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "I like it!" After she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and said, "But I still like singing and dancing, and the teacher said that I also look good when dancing!" ”

I couldn't help but glance at Huai En, and I could roughly tell that Wei Lai seemed to have a high talent for art, and although it was still too early to say this, a person's life direction can often be reflected at a young age.

Looks like I'm going to have a good talk to Wei Lai's parents about this!
