"What are you spacing out for?"
In the evening, the sky was a magnificent tapestry woven from violet and gold. Below, countless vehicles flowed like ants, mercilessly crushing the literal ants on the road.
In the car, Wei Wei looked at Wei Qingyu.
These past few days, he had suddenly found that this "cheap sister" of his seemed to have become stupid. She actually was not working against him anymore!
"I am not spacing out. I am thinking about something."
Wei Qingyu replied word for word.
Ever since Lu Xing had sorted out the logic for her that day, she had let go of her hostility toward this half brother of hers.
Unite all the forces that can be united. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Wei Wei listened and pouted with boredom.
If Wei Qingyu fell into a river, he would walk away without a care.
If Wei Wenhai fell into a river, he would definitely bang gongs and drums by the river and hold a three day banquet!
That damn old man was simply too good at staying alive!
Therefore, compared to Wei Wenhai, he still felt that Wei Qingyu was a little more pleasing to the eye, but only a little.
"He-he, thinking about how to trick me again?"
Ever since Wei Qingyu had started to enter the company, there had always been problems with his business dealings.
Originally, Wei Wei was very angry.
But when he went back and discussed it with his wife, he suddenly found that the opportunity he had always wanted to escape had finally arrived!
Wei Qingyu calmly shook her head.
"I am not thinking about that. I was thinking about a TV show I watched a bit of yesterday."
Huh?
Wei Wei rarely widened his eyes in surprise, but he did so now.
A TV show?
Did he hear that right?
Shouldn't she be reading some dense, boring book?
Wei Wei suddenly felt that the Wei Qingyu in front of him had a little more human touch. His tone softened.
"Watch it, watch it. Your sister-in-law's brain was ruined by watching those."
"Will watching TV shows ruin your brain?" Wei Qingyu looked at Wei Wei with a dazed expression.
Wei Wei paused for a moment.
To be honest, his conversation with Wei Qingyu now was something that had never happened in the past eighteen years.
This kind of small talk was similar to actual siblings.
The moment this word appeared in Wei Wei's mind, he himself was shocked!
How could he think of Wei Qingyu as a sister?
This girl is an emotionless robot!
"Brother?"
Wei Qingyu called out softly.
Instantly, Wei Wei's scalp tingled, and he widened his eyes in disbelief.
He had never heard Wei Qingyu call him "brother" before!
Wei Wei was suddenly at a loss.
When a person feels that things are out of their control, they often become angry. He was no exception.
"What on earth are you trying to do?!"
"I am not trying to do anything." Wei Qingyu thought of the method Lu Xing had given her and said meticulously.
"I just wanted to ask you, what kind of TV shows will ruin your brain? My head is still useful."
Wei Wei was going crazy.
He finally knew how torturous it was to face a robot!
"What TV show did you watch?! What the hell did it teach you!"
"I watched Da Ming Dynasty."
(TL: A critically acclaimed historical political drama in China. It is famous for its complex power struggles, emperor-official dynamics, and philosophical depth. It is often cited as the "textbook" for Chinese politics.)
Wei Qingyu replied seriously.
This car was Wei Wei's private vehicle. From the driver to the car itself, everything belonged to him. Safety and privacy were guaranteed.
This was the opportunity Wei Qingyu had been waiting for these past few days.
"You watched that thing?" Wei Wei was a little surprised.
He had thought Wei Qingyu was watching some world destroying xianxia idol drama, or some kind of "legitimate" soap opera.
To be honest.
If Wei Qingyu had watched the former, Wei Wei would just think her brain was broken.
But if Wei Qingyu had watched the latter, Wei Wei would feel that she was implying that he was an illegitimate son!
But he had not expected this.
Between choice A and choice B, Wei Qingyu had chosen a secret third option.
Fine.
Really fine.
Wei Wei asked with a complicated mood,
"What did you see in it?"
This was what she was waiting for.
Wei Qingyu said calmly.
"I saw that the emperor likes to keep dogs, and I learned some dog raising tips."
What?
Wei Wei's face changed. He looked at the soundproof partition that had already been raised and suddenly realized that this "cheap sister" of his seemed to have come prepared.
Wei Qingyu continued.
"Regardless of their origin, regardless of their background, as long as they can do things for the emperor and remain obedient, they are all his good dogs."
"But when keeping dogs, you cannot let one family dominate. It is best for a few useful dogs to fight and bite each other."
"The emperor sits high on his throne, as if watching a comical animal performance."
"If this dog is about to die, save it. If that dog wins, kick it."
"After all, if the useless dog dies, the victorious dog will turn its gaze to the emperor on the throne."
The hair on Wei Wei's back stood on end. He said in a low voice.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
"What is wrong, brother?" Wei Qingyu stared at Wei Wei calmly. "Did I misunderstand the character? I am sorry. I will go back and watch this TV show again."
"Watch your mom's head!"
Wei Wei gritted his teeth and glared at Wei Qingyu.
"You are doing this on purpose!"
He knew all too well why Wei Wenhai had put Wei Qingyu in the company.
On the one hand, he was regretting wasting Wei Qingyu's brilliant brain and planned to squeeze out the last bit of her value before she died.
On the other hand, Wei Wenhai was warning him.
This old man is not dying yet. He is doing it on purpose, blatantly telling Wei Wei...
Do not even think about seizing power! Just do your work honestly!
He could arrange for Wei Qingyu to enter the company, and he could also arrange for other illegitimate children to enter the same doors.
If it were before, Wei Wei might have been a little frustrated and then started to "PUA" himself to put away his small thoughts and work hard.
But ever since CEO Wen had snatched that land, he had been completely enlightened.
That day, he had told Wei Wenhai that the land purchase had failed. Wei Wenhai's venomous gaze was like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around his throat!
If it were not for the butler knocking on the door to pour tea in time, he really suspected he would have been strangled to death in the study.
Wei Wei had completely seen through it.
What is fated will be. What is not, do not force it.
CEO Wen's daughter, she does not have to manage anything. Besides not having a father, she can sit and enjoy countless loves.
And him!
Although he has a father, it is better not to have one!
Wei Wenhai is too ruthless. To be able to plan and patiently cultivate his daughter for eighteen years, just to be the core of some stupid feng shui array.
Wei Wei did not dare to guarantee his own safety anymore.
He still has a wife!
This time, the old man had arranged for Wei Qingyu to enter the company, just to watch him and her bite each other.
Wei Wei thought, this is a good opportunity to get away!
He would take advantage of the old man promoting Wei Qingyu to quickly run away with his wife and his money.
From then on, the sky is the limit for the birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for the fish to leap!
Besides his "Shu Road Mountain" of pressure, he would no longer worry about anything!
(TL: This is a pun on a poem called "The Difficulty of the Shu Road" by Li Bai.)
Perfect!
But now...
Wei Wei cursed at Wei Qingyu with a dark face, "Who on earth taught you to say these things!"
He did not believe for a second that Wei Qingyu, in such a short period of time, could directly change from a robot to this scheming mastermind.
Wei Qingyu's black and white eyes stared at Wei Wei. She suddenly curved her lips.
"I do not want to be a dog. I want to be a person."
Wei Wei was stunned.
In his heart, this "cheap sister" had always been like a robot, never expressing her own needs.
But now.
She said, she wants to be a person?
Wei Qingyu recalled the lines Lu Xing had said to her, repeated them in her mind a few times, and then said calmly.
"You have done so much for the company, yet a guillotine is always hanging over your neck, ready to turn you into a reincarnation of Louis XVI at any moment."
"Brother, are you really content?"
