1008 Untitled
Wei De had made sure that Platoon Leader Jiang leave the camp. However, he did not know that he had with him a bigger threat—Qiao Nan. It was because of her that he was in such a state. “Why?!”
Wei De said through gritted teeth.
He did not know how Qiao Nan could tell that Wei Wei was his son instead of his nephew.
Wei De was not a fool and he was conceited. He would not dig his own grave.
Mother Wei was very certain that Wei Wei was her grandson. However, it was peculiar that he bore no resemblance to Wei De. This was the reason why Mother Wei dared to suggest to Wei De to bring Wei Wei to Ping Cheng and to gain Zhai Hua’s favor so that she could help take care of him.
Initially, Mother Wei was puzzled why her grandson did not resemble her son.
But then Father Wei told her that it was true that Wei Wei did not resemble their son. However, Wei Wei resembled his great grandfather. He had inherited his looks.
Mother Wei felt relieved at his words.
Thereafter, Mother Wei would keep staring at her grandson, hoping to see some resemblances to her own son. It was after a long time before she had a happy discovery: her grandson might not look like her son, but his expression looked similar to Wei De when he smiled.
That was why despite knowing that Zhai Hua was very crucial to Wei De and they should keep Wei Wei’s existence a secret, she still made a bold suggestion to her son, telling him to bring Wei Wei to Ping Cheng to be with Zhai Hua. Her intention was for Zhai Hua to raise Wei De’s nephew, who was, in actual fact, his son, for him.
Wei De agreed to it for the same reason: judging from the looks, nobody would suspect that Wei Wei was not his nephew.
The Zhai family was also curious to know the answer to Wei De’s question.
If the Zhai family did not have absolute trust in Qiao Nan, they would definitely spend time investigating Qiao Nan.
They wanted to know how Qiao Nan managed to find out the secret that nobody would have thought of.
“Because of this photo.” Qiao Nan took out one of the photos that Zhai Hua sent to her. “All the letters and photos that you sent to Sister Zhai Hua are, in fact, with me. I kept feeling that you wouldn’t be so generous as to raise someone else’s child. If you were such a good man, the accident with Platoon Leader Jiang would not have happened. Your way of dealing with things and your selfish nature made me suspect your relationship with Wei Wei.”
“Perhaps I have an unexplainable doubt toward you. I have this feeling that your relationship with Wei Wei is not that simple. Therefore, I tried my best to prove that I am right. After Sister Zhai Hua sent me the photos, I placed them side by side, and on a closer look, I felt that this photo was offensively conspicuous. Do you know the reason?”
Wei De widened his eyes in surprise. Those photos were indeed sent by him to Zhai Hua.
However, they were merely photos of daily life. One could not tell anything from these photos. Otherwise, he would not ask for trouble by sending these photos to Zhai Hua.
If so, what did Qiao Nan mean when she said that there was something wrong with the photos?
Zhai Hua, Qiao Nan, and Wei De had seen the photo. However, this was the first time the men in the Zhai family saw this photo.
The average men might not be able to notice the important clue, but this was not the case for Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng.
Miao Jing, who was clueless, looked at Zhai Yaohui, asking him to explain to her. Zhai Yaohui glanced at the photo. “In this photo, the way Wei Wei and Wei De smiles looked similar.”
The children might not have inherited their parents’ features, but it was possible that they had similar expressions.
Wei Wei and Wei De had a similar expression in the photo. This was why Qiao Nan could tell that they might be related.
Miao Jing took a closer look at the photo after Zhai Yaohui’s explanation. Indeed, their expressions were alike.
Miao Jing looked at Qiao Nan in awe. “Nan Nan, you are so amazing. You have good eyesight.”
Qiao Nan curled the corners of her lips. She did not know how to react to her future mother-in-law’s praise.
One had to have good eyesight to spot the similarities between Wei Wei and Wei De from the photos. In the future, there would be a popular Chinese game ‘Find Picture’ whereby it was the exact opposite—one would need to spot the differences to win the game.
Fortunately, she did not spend a lot of time on the game and her eyesight had not deteriorated.
Qiao Nan might not feel thrilled at Miao Jing’s praise, but Qiao Dongliang was proud of his daughter.
When Qiao Dongliang was in the army, he was known for his good eyesight. He would have the highest score during target shooting.
He felt that Qiao Nan must have inherited the good genes from him.
Miao Jing finally understood the importance of the photo after Zhai Yaohui’s explanation. Wei De also realized where he went wrong.
When he knew that that was the reason why Qiao Nan suspected his relationship with Wei Wei, Wei De felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
He had spent so much time and effort on Zhai Hua, but in the end, all his efforts had gone down the drain because of his mistake.
There was a fishy and slightly sweet taste in Wei De’s throat. His face turned deep red, his neck swollen, and blue veins stood out.
Wei De was as mad as Zhai Hua, who had almost fainted from anger just now.
“The evil we bring on ourselves is the hardest to bear.” Miao Jing’s heart ached for Zhai Hua upon learning she was deceived and toyed with by Wei De. Right now, she felt much better after knowing that Wei De had caused his own downfall.
One should not do evil. Otherwise, God would not let them off.
Qiao Nan agreed with Miao Jing. “In fact, he is no longer related to the Zhai family. Should he leave now?”
“That’s right.” Zhai Sheng nodded. He made a phone call for the guards at the quad to send Wei De away.
Love might concern two people, but breaking up was different from a marriage. One did not need the other party’s consent to end the relationship.
“I…” Wei De was in a panic. It seemed that the Zhai family did not intend to hear another word or an explanation from him. They wanted to cut off all contact between him and Zhai Hua.
The guards gave Wei De a hostile stare. One of the guards grabbed his arms, covered his mouth, and dragged him out of the house with the help of another guard.
The guards threw Wei De out of the house and snorted in disdain. “Scum.”
“Beast!”
He had shamed the soldiers.
They would not admit that Wei De used to be part of the army. He was the army’s disgrace!
After figuring out the relationship between Wei De and Wei Wei, Wei De and Zhai Hua had nothing more to say to each other. In fact, it was Zhai Hua who had no wish to speak to Wei De anymore.
