Chapter 28: Seven Years to Sharpen a Sword

Chapter 28

Wei's Restaurant.

Wei Shixu just casually asked, he didn't even expect Quan Zhisui to reply to the message, since it was already very late.

Who would have thought Quan Zhisui instantly sent back a photo of Zuo Zichen with a bloody nose and swollen face, kneeling on the ground crying. 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

Wei Shixu was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst out laughing!

His eyes lit up, feeling like the hot pot tasted even better tonight.

Quan Zhisui was a thorough action-taker, she actually rushed back home and tortured Zuo Zichen half to death!

Having a grudge, she took revenge on the spot!

Violent and direct!

Really awesome!

...

The entrance.

Old Wei sat in a wheelchair, had been waiting in the hallway outside the restaurant for a while.

He heard Wei Shixu's laughter coming from inside.

That laughter was unique, like he saw some extremely funny joke, and also like a poor man who won the lottery, full of surprise.

Old Wei looked at Qian Cheng doubtfully beside him: "Did his brain break?"

Qian Cheng also felt very strange, and after thinking about it, analyzed: "The young master's temperament has changed greatly since the kidnapping seven years ago. And with what happened today, he must have been a bit traumatized. Should we find a psychologist for him?"

Old Wei's expression was disdainful: "Forget it! His mind is fine, his brain is what's broken!"

Qian Cheng frowned and reminded: "Old Wei, the young master almost died seven years ago..."

Old Wei raised his eyebrows at him: "You underestimate him too much."

Qian Cheng moved his lips, but ultimately didn't say anything. But from his expression, it was clear he was very worried about Wei Shixu's mental health.

Old Wei let out a cold snort, and maneuvered his electric wheelchair forward. As he slowly moved down the long hallway, he slowly said:

"That was a hurdle in his life, one that has long passed. It may have been very serious, serious enough to affect his values and temperament, but the past is the past. Once you've crossed a hurdle, there's no need to look back."

"If seven years ago he could walk back from another city, how could his adaptability have regressed seven years later?"

"Does the heir of the Wei family not even have this level of endurance?"

When he said the last sentence, Old Wei's aura rose, still exuding grandeur even while sitting in a wheelchair.

Qian Cheng looked at the back of the old man ahead, moved inwardly.

He caught up, using his hand to push the wheelchair, and said: "I'm just worried..."

"Worried?" Old Wei sneered coldly: "Worrying, sympathizing, lamenting... these are the most useless emotions! When my legs were crippled, who came to worry about me? Everyone was busy fighting over the family property, fighting to the point they didn't care when the biological son was kidnapped!"

Qian Cheng sighed: "Speaking of the young master's sad experience again."

Old Wei was vigorous: "What happened cannot be allowed to change him, memories can't disappear into thin air either. What happened today won't be any shock to him, he knows very clearly the Wei family's power is still there, no one dares to touch him now."

"He has indeed changed a lot over the past few years, seen through some people, shed useless feelings, learned to fight and seize, and brought out ferocity in himself as well."

"A lone tiger, this is the process of becoming the holder of power, a necessary path."

Qian Cheng smiled and said: "Yes, we have witnessed the young master's growth, tempered for seven years like a sword."

Old Wei squinted his eyes: "If the Wei family is not united, power and wealth can only be concentrated in one person's hands. Spread out, and the Wei family will turn to nothing."

"What happened seven years ago is indeed unforgivable, but it also cultivated someone capable of handling things for my Wei family! Among all my descendants, only Shixu has my bearing when I was young. The vigor in him is just like me back in the day!"

Qian Cheng was astonished for a moment: "So it was a mix of good and bad? But the young master was still a bit abnormal today."

Old Wei: "Abnormal is normal. If you were provoked by a fly, you'd be a little annoyed too."

Qian Cheng suddenly realized: "I see..."

Old Wei added: "It's Kong Mingze you should arrange psychological counseling for. I see he has quite severe traumatic stress."

Qian Cheng frowned: "Indeed, when our people arrived, his whole state was very wrong."

Old Wei's eyes flashed: "When one's capabilities are insufficient, being overly responsible is not a good thing."

Qian Cheng was puzzled: "You mean, clear out the young master's circle of friends?"

Old Wei glared at him: "He only has this one friend left and I'll do him in too? My brain must be broken!"

Qian Cheng: "Oh..."

Old Wei: "He's so responsible but lacks capability, then increase his capability!"

Qian Cheng was extremely hesitant: "That's a bit difficult..."

Old Wei waved his hand impatiently: "Elevate his parents!"

Qian Cheng laughed out loud: "Looks like the leading restaurant business in Liangxi is about to change hands."

"Wait!" Old Wei suddenly changed his words: "We shouldn't get involved in this matter, let Shixu handle it himself after he comes of age."

Qian Cheng continued smiling: "Alright."

Old Wei maneuvered the wheelchair to go faster, cursing and grumbling all the way: "I don't care about his friends!"

-----------------

Early next morning.

Left family's small kitchen was filled with people, except for Xu Kuang who was still accompanying the two elders in the vacation area, all the hired help had gathered, frantically discussing what happened yesterday.

Since the young miss said to keep their mouths shut, it was clearly meant for the Left family's people, not limited to their own hired help gossiping.

Ma Xinwei was the most excited: "Come come! Let's lay out a timeline, say everything we know!"

Zhao Lin raised his hand: "I'll go first! Yesterday afternoon I took the old master shopping, but he didn't buy anything, and insisted on having me drive around the city for two hours. By nighttime, I missed picking up the young miss from school. Then he had me take him to meet up with the old madam in the vacation area. By the time I got back it was very late, I thought the young miss had gone to bed already. Who would've thought she came back even later than me?!"

Ma Xinwei: "So! What was the young miss up to last night? Why did she throw a huge tantrum as soon as she got back?"

Gu Lan shivered and spoke up: "I also have a clue. I saw blood in the young miss's laundry hamper. Her school uniform was covered in blood! My god how scary!"

Zhao Lin stared wide-eyed: "The young miss was injured? But I didn't see any wounds on her!"

Ma Xinwei: "You fool! The young miss knows martial arts, it must have been someone else's blood!"

Gu Lan: "The young miss was attacked by someone after school yesterday?"

Ma Xinwei: "Please be more precise, she was the one attacking others."

Gu Lan: "Oh oh, then why did she beat the young master half to death as soon as she got home? She even made the young master kneel! Good heavens! At least half an hour of kneeling!"

Zhao Lin suddenly slapped the table: "I got it! The young master sent people to deal with the young miss, but she fought back and killed them all, then directly beat up the culprit when she got home!"

Ma Xinwei: "I think so too! Otherwise why was the old master acting so strange yesterday, occupying Zhao Lin's time for no reason? The old master dotes on the young master, it must have been arranged by the young master, just to make sure no one picked up the young miss from school, then she encountered trouble."

Gu Lan looked out the window: "It was chaotic late into the night yesterday, the young miss still isn't up yet."

At this time Fang Yue spoke up: "Alright, stop gossiping about the employer's family affairs."

Everyone immediately went silent. When they started chatting you didn't say anything, just listening the whole time off to the side.

You were curious to hear the gossip too!
