Chapter 849 - Could Not Bear To Do So
Just as Zhai Hua arrived home, Wei De’s phone call came.
The auntie told Zhai Hua in a hushed tone, “That Mr. Wei has called for the fifth time today. Miss, do you want to take the call?”
“No.” Zhai Hua declined flatly. “If this really won’t do, you can hang up the phone and leave it aside. Don’t bother about this.”
He had been keeping mum and did not call her for so many days. Today, he made five phone calls. He must be looking for her to talk about that child’s matter.
So, Wei De was only willing to look for her when he had some issues. In the absence of any matter, there was not even a call from him for so many days.
“Oh, okay, miss.” The auntie knew that this partner of Zhai Hua was not very well-liked by the Zhai family. She was thus very frightened and careful whenever she picked up Wei De’s call. The auntie felt more relieved when she heard Zhai Hua’s words.
Without a word, the auntie acted according to Zhai Hua’s instructions. She picked up the phone and immediately hung it up. She then put the phone aside. In this way, one could no longer get through the phone line directly.
“Hello…” When the call got through, just as Wei De wanted to ask if Zhai Hua was back, unexpectedly, the other party simply hung up the phone.
Wei De was so angry that he smashed a cup. “Aren’t you just a housekeeper of the Zhai family? You dare to hang up my phone? When I manage to contact Zhai Hua, I’ll make things difficult for you!”
After the smashing, Wei De looked a little sullen. He had been in some business talks recently. He did not contact Zhai Hua deliberately these few days as he hoped that Zhai Hua could restrain her temper a little.
If she really wished to be together with him, she had to spare more consideration for him, think in his shoes, and affirm his views. She should not always restrict him as she always did. Was that meaningful?
However, Wei De had a phone call with his family yesterday and his parents urged him to bring Wei Wei here as soon as possible. Wei De had no choice but to make this call.
That child’s name was not under Ping Cheng’s household register. If they wished to change it, it was quite cumbersome and there would be a lot of administration work.
In particular, Wei De wanted to let Wei Wei study in a better kindergarten but he did not have any resources in this area. He tried to seek help from the friends introduced to him by Zhai Hua but they declined. They said that it would be more convenient for the Zhai family to handle this.
These people were all childhood friends of Zhai Hua. They helped Wei De on the account of Zhai Hua. Of course, they would be on Zhai Hua’s side.
Wei De wanted to bring his nephew over. Were his brains damaged?
If they were to participate in this matter, they could forget about being friends with Zhai Hua in the future.
Hence, besides Zhai Hua, no one dared to poke their nose in this matter.
Hence, Wei De could only look for Zhai Hua as he hoped that Zhai Hua could help him resolve all these problems.
Before bringing the child over, he certainly had to clarify all these matters. Otherwise, if he was clueless and did not have any idea about what to do when the child arrived, August would be over in the blink of an eye and Wei Wei’s admission to kindergarten would be delayed again by six months.
Zhai Hua would not pick up his call. Wei De did not have a way either.
He lighted up a cigarette and started smoking. He had gotten used to smoking cigar previously but had spent a long time to quit the habit and return to smoking cigarettes. This was because Zhai Hua said that her family did not need people who appeared ‘corrupted’ and smoking cigars was too eye-catching.
Now, he could not get in touch with Zhai Hua. It seemed that he had to look for her personally in the quad.
At the thought that the Zhai family did not like him at all, and perhaps the auntie dared to hang up his call as she was acting on the Zhai family members’ instructions, Wei De was so furious that his face turned gloomy.
What was not good about him that the Zhai family did not look up to him?
Furthermore, Zhai Hua was an ‘old woman’ that was almost thirty years old. The Zhai family should feel fortunate that he was willing to marry her. Why were they putting on airs?
However, Wei De only dared to think about these words. He dared not voice them out. Regardless of how old the women in the Zhai family were, there would be people who were willing to marry them. Furthermore, they might even possess better qualities than him.
It was only when Wei De was alone that he dared to say such words to himself to deride Zhai Hua. He consoled himself for being so benevolent that he was able to accept Zhai Hua, this ‘old lady’.
After finished smoking his cigarette, Wei De stomped his feet and could only drive to the quad to look for Zhai Hua. “Comrade, good day. I am Zhai Hua’s partner. I am here to look for Zhai Hua. We met before. Can you let me go in?”
The young comrade was very insistent. “This won’t do. I have to either ask the family members of the old chief or ask Zhai Hua to come out and meet you. You can’t drive your car in like that.”
On the previous occasion, Zhai Hua was sitting beside Wei De. Of course, Wei De could drive his car in. However, today, without Zhai Hua, Wei De could not even enter the entrance of the quad.
“I won’t go in then. Can you help me pass a message to Zhai Hua?” Wei De did not throw a temper at the young comrade. This was because he would only embarrass himself if he did so. The regulation of the quad was as such.
“Fine, you can wait here,” the young comrade replied and then passed Wei De’s message to the Zhai family.
After thinking, Zhai Hua decided to go with the young comrade to meet Wei De.
At the sight of Zhai Hua, Wei De’s eyes lit up. “Hua Hua, maybe you should tell the young comrade not to do this when he sees me in the future. It’s so inappropriate and it makes people feel embarrassed.”
Zhai Hua pursed her lips. “This is the regulation of the quad. I don’t have a choice as well. When my dad is willing to give an instruction, even without the need for me to say, this kind of embarrassing situation won’t occur anymore.” They could not just allow Wei De to enter or leave the quad as he wished.
If Wei De was given this right, in other words, Wei De could bring the child here even if Zhai Hua did not want to.
At the thought that Miao Jing’s health was really not too good, Zhai Hua could not possibly let such a matter occur. “Alright, why did you come here? Is something the matter?”
“Isn’t it regarding that nephew of mine? My parents insist that I bring him here personally. But when the child comes over, his household register, where to study at-all these are problems. Hua Hua, can you see if you can help me settle these matters? You handle these while I go and fetch the child over. We can split the work.” He could not enter and leave the quad as he wished now. Well, he would be able to do so one day.
Zhai Hua sighed. “You did not contact me for a few days. Today, you look for me just because of this matter. Without the matter about your nephew, you would still be busy with your business, right? That child belongs to your family. He does not have anything to do with me. You can make your own arrangements as you wish. It’s not convenient for me to intervene.”
“Hua Hua, didn’t you…” Wei De was anxious now. If he was able to resolve this problem, he would not need to look for Zhai Hua and embarrass himself. “Hua Hua, didn’t we agree on this? Please consider. Do you want to come out? We can find a place to have a good talk about this. Let’s go home, okay?”
Clearly, he was not that physically distant from Zhai Hua. One was residing in the quad and one was just outside the quad. However, albeit the short distance, Wei De felt that the Pacific Ocean was in between Zhai Hua and him. Due to this distance, Zhai Hua was not as easy to talk to as before.
“Okay.” At the sight of Wei De looking so anxious and sweating badly, Zhai Hua ultimately could not bear to see him in such a state. She thus agreed to go to a café with Wei De.
