–
He was somewhat childish.
Wei Mingcheng insisted that he stay at home, and he would cause trouble for Wei Mingcheng whenever he saw him.
Wei Congying still had a room in the family home, which was still the same as before.
He stayed in the family home and had nothing to do.
During this period, he also met Liang Mengyi once, as she came back to visit her grandma.
Her grandmother lived nearby, but she didn’t make to walk in the direction of her grandmother’s house. Wei Congying knew that she was here to show off her freedom.
She sat in the sports car parked in front of his house, pushed up her sunglasses, perching them on her head, and smiled happily: “Been locked up at home?”

Liang Mengyi put down her sunglasses: “Aren’t you battle-hardened? Can’t you tell the difference between real liking and fake liking?”
With that said, she stepped on the accelerator and left.
After learning about Liang Mengyi’s “meaness,” Wei Congying continued growing mushrooms1[1] This more or less means that he’s continuing to be bored and depressed. It’s similar to what you see in anime and comics. 
, in the family home for a few more days.
Cheng Ge told him that the problem of shaking handlebars had been solved and asked him when he would test the car again.
Freedom was still far away.
Wei Congying wandered around the house bored.
The third floor was all bedrooms. His grandparents originally lived on the third floor, but as they got older, they moved to the first floor. As long as Wei Congying didn’t come back to live on the third floor, Wei Mingcheng would be the only one living there.
Doing nothing every day had the opposite effect of making his work and rest times irregular. When Wei Congying got up, he was just in time to see the housekeeper cleaning, and taking out all the dirty clothes and sheets.
However, it wasn’t just Wei Mingcheng’s room, but also a guest room in the corridor that was usually empty.
Grandma’s voice came from downstairs, calling him down to eat. Wei Congying made a sound of acknowledgment after letting out a yawn. Then he glanced at the guest room again before going downstairs.
It was not the usual time that breakfast was served, but they had specially left breakfast for him.
Mei Ruolan had finished eating a while ago, but she saw her grandson very little. So, now she was siitting at the dining table with Wei Congying.
Grandpa was watching the news in the living room.
Wei Congying used a spoon to stir the seafood porridge in front of him and asked casually: “Are you spring cleaning today? I saw that an unused room on the third floor was being cleaned.”
After asking casually, Wei Congying didn’t notice the change in Grandma’s expression.
The seafood porridge was a bit bland and didn’t suit Wei Congying’s taste.
Grandma sat opposite him and said earnestly: “A’Cong, stop arguing with your father. Sometimes he does some things for your own good.”
He didn’t have much of an appetite to begin with, but now he couldn’t stomach anything.
“Grandma, it was your son who cheated, and it was your son who changed his mind. But it was my mother who was cheated on, abandoned, and hurt. You didn’t give birth to her, so that’s why you’re able say that.”
It was true that his grandparents loved him, but it was also true that his father was their favored son.
He knew what was right and wrong and whether there was any partiality.
After breakfast, Wei Congying basked in the sun in the yard while bored, looking at the flowers and plants his grandma was growing in the yard. After eating, he would help water them, thinking of it as helping digestion.
It was on such an afternoon that he met Huang Rui again.
While he was watering the flowers, he heard someone calling him from outside the fence. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Huang Rui.
The last time they separated, it was the day they broke up. He saw her taking a shower with a woman, and then he broke up with her.
If you think about it, it seems like it hadn’t been long since their breakup.
If you think about it more carefully, it seemed that he and Shi Yun had not been together for long.
Huang Rui simply said hello to him. She came back to visit her grandma on the weekend.
The gray fence was not very high. She wore a knitted sweater and stood outside with her hands folded behind her back: “I’m sorry.”
There was no need to apologize.
He didn’t take his last relationship seriously either.
Wei Congying put down the watering can: “It’s okay.”
Originally this was probably the standard template for a ‘friendly and peaceful’ meeting between calm exes.
Before Huang Rui left, she suddenly thought of something. She took a step forward and put her hand on the fence: “By the way, I heard from my grandma that a girl came to your family recently. She is about the same age as us. Did she meet her parents? Congratulations.”
Recently, a girl about his age came to his grandparent’s house?
A bad answer came to mind.
Huang Rui saw Wei Congying’s astonished expression and realized that she had said the wrong thing. Wei Congying stood there in silence for a long time, then dropped the kettle in his hand to the ground. The mouth of the pot was tilted, and the water inside continued to flow out.
Wei Congying walked quickly when he entered the living room. When his grandparents called him from the sofa in the living room, he didn’t stop and climbed up to the third floor, taking the steps by the twos and threes with each stride.
Standing in front of the guest room at the end of the corridor, he turned the doorknob.
It wasn’t locked.
The furnishings in the bedroom revealed that a girl lived there, and the desk was full of various cosmetics. In the morning, the housekeeper came to clean up, and now only a bare spring mattress was left in the room.
Wei Congying walked to the dressing table and reached out to pick up the photo frame on it.
The photo was a close-up of a seven to eight-year-old girl and a woman. The little girl Wei Congying might not be familiar with it, but he knew the woman’s face. After all, his father carried a photo of this woman close to his body and would take it out from time to time to remember her.
When his mind abruptly filled with anger, Wei Congying raised the hand holding the photo frame. But reason poured down over his head like a basin of cold water. It couldn’t be that simple.
According to the attitude of his grandparents, it was impossible to let this woman’s daughter in without any reason.
A voice sounded in his mind, and he went downstairs with the photo frame.
He didn’t know how many times they had watched “The Emperor’s Female Prince Consort” on TV. When Wei Congying went downstairs, he didn’t have the speed he used when going upstairs. He walked very slowly, step by step.
As his grandparents got older, the volume of the TV set was turned up very loud. His footsteps were masked by Feng Suzhen’s2[2] Feng Suzhen is a character in the Huangmei Opera, “The Emperor’s Female Prince Consort.” opera voice. The character in the TV was singing, “If you want me to sever my relationship with Sir Li, then only if Hai Kulong shows up.” The affectionate words contrasted with the photo in his hand to form an unique joke.
The framed photo was thrown on the coffee table by Wei Congying. Grandpa was stunned, picked up the remote control, and pressed it several times before turning off the TV.
The couple looked at the photo on the coffee table, and instantly understood what Wei Congying had guessed, then looked at each other in embarrassment. Grandpa stretched out his hand to pull Wei Congying, trying to get him to sit down, so they could slowly explain the situation to him.
Wei Congying stood there instead of sitting down.
Finally, Mei Ruolan spoke: “We also just found out that she is your father’s daughter. No matter what, she is also a child of our family. She endured hardships as a child along with her mother. Besides, the grudges of adults have nothing to do with children, and she’s unable to choose….”
People are like this, as long as it is not their own, they can stand by and be generous to others. At first, they thought she had nothing to do with their family. And if Wei Mingcheng brought her back, her grandparents would be able to drive them away in displeasure.
Now that they know it, they can live happily with her.
Yes, after all, it was not their daughter who was abandoned and betrayed by her husband.
It’s great to have a precious grandson, but if you have a granddaughter then you should accept her as well.
Wei Congying picked up the photo frame on the coffee table. The veins on the hand holding the frame were slightly bulging: “Don’t move your blood-related granddaughter out just for when I come back. Let’s continue to enjoy family love and joy that we should be enjoying.”
After saying that, Wei Congying threw the photo frame in his hand to the ground and shouted: “Give me the car keys, hurry up.”

This is two chapters in one.
I have to go out to do some shopping today, so I’ll update them together.

Translator Corner:
Has anyone else played Werewolf? It’s been a few years since I last played, but I recall having a lot of fun with my friends while playing it during our lunches 🙂
