Little Terrified Bun

Little Terrified Bun Chapter 78

Time always flies by; soon enough, New Year’s Eve had arrived. This year, Wei Zhe didn’t bring Wei Jing with him to the Wei residence. After New Year’s Eve came the Chinese New Year that was celebrated by every household. On the day of, Wei Zhe followed behind Wei He with a polite smile, greeting all kinds of guests.

Everyone exchanged blessings with each other with a joyous smile on their faces; the first thing they said to each other was “Happy New Year.”

Meanwhile, the Wuxia movie that Wei Zhe invested in had officially aired. Due to tight budgets, the director didn’t invite trending celebrities, which caused the movie scheduling rate and the attendance rate to be low; on the next day however, the attendance rate suddenly surged by a whole lot.

This movie started off humorous, then became heartwarming, and ended as a tearjerker; it turned out that many people who had watched the movie recommended it to their friends and family, which prompted many people to watch the movie in movie theaters out of curiosity.

Just like so…words spread from mouth to mouth in addition to the director’s willingness to invest in the movie’s costumes and special effects. Soon enough, like a new army force suddenly breaking through, the movie’s sales increased drastically.

This made the investors so hyped up that they couldn’t close their mouths. As for the actors involved in the movie, they became popular all of a sudden, even the support characters who only showed their face a few times, not to mention the main leads. They gained popularity at an insane rate.

On the fifteenth of the first lunar month, school began.

On the other hand, the City A that had been quiet for a long time suddenly began a big move with everyone being unprepared - constructing a highway!

As the news became public, all the businessmen who bought the land near Xiyan Road became crazy. It felt like you were planning to buy a small watermelon, but someone turned it into a golden watermelon; the land was still the same piece of land, with the same area, but… its price wouldn’t be the same anymore.

Wei He just finished the meeting with the Board of Directors when he received the news.

He was stunned; his initial reaction wasn’t joy, but confusion. Wei Zhe was only a teenager, where did he get his connections from?

“Executive.” The thirty-ish assistant could not hide his excitement. “You are such a mastermind, you can even foresee this! When are you planning to get started with the land?” He flattered.

“Yeah, what a mastermind!” Wei He narrowed his eyes and said with a mysterious tone.

‘Why does it sound slightly weird?’ The assistant thought.

Wei He loosened his tie with his hands and glanced over at the assistant. “Since the government already declared the policy, tell others to write a proposal as soon as possible. I want to see the result in a week,” he said with a cold tone.

“Yes,” the assistant answered in a low voice upon hearing the command.

After New Year’s, undoubtedly, the most painful thing for children was returning to school. Even for Wei Jing, who had a mature mentality. At the moment, he couldn’t adapt to the school schedule, not to mention he also had to go to Xu Jiahui’s house to learn drawing. Double labor for him!

“Look at how sleepy you are. Don’t suddenly plunge your head into the paint later.” Wei Jing felt someone taking away the thing he was holding onto. He couldn’t rub his eyes as paint got onto his hands, so he could only blink to regain some of his vision; he vaguely saw Li Pei smiling beside him.

“School just started. I haven’t adapted to the school routine yet,” Wei Jing mumbled his complaint.

“It’s fine, go take some rest! One day of rest won’t matter much, but it won’t be worth it if you get yourself sick.” Li Pei replied.

After all this time together, Wei Jing and Li Pei’s relationship had advanced swiftly.

Li Pei was gentle and considerate; although he wasn’t good at expressing himself, he treated both Wei Jing and Xu Jiahui very well. Wei Jing couldn’t imagine how such a person would murder his own father.

After beating around the bush, Wei Jing had acknowledged that Li Pei’s father was a complete scumbag. Not only did he gamble, he also abused his family members. At that moment, Wei Jing had a bold guess: at a future date, Li Pei’s father infuriated Li Pei, which caused him to release all his suppressed anger over the years, and he killed his father while being lost in the emotion?

“Okay.” Wei Jing was so sleepy that his hands were trembling. His current condition was unfit for drawing after all.

After leaving the drawing room, Wei Jing yawned and decided to take a nap on the sofa downstairs while waiting for his big brother to pick him up. At that moment, the door of the residence’s main entrance was wide open; Auntie Xu held a water pot and was watering one of the Wintersweets outside when the sound of loud sobs suddenly appeared from not far away.

As if the shrill, yet forlorn crying sound penetrated one’s heart, the sleepy Wei Jing suddenly shivered, waking all the drowsy creatures inside him.

He rushed outside the door and asked in puzzlement, “Where did the child crying sound come from?”

“I don’t know either.” Auntie Xu shook her head; she put down the water pot in her hand and looked around. As the crying sound continued to go on, she said, “I’ll go take a look.”

“I’ll go too.”

Wei Jing followed Auntie Xu outside the yard and saw many workers moving furniture into the house next door. Behind them stood a familiar looking man and a woman, appearing as a couple, and the crying sound was coming from the child between them.

The little girl wore a white furry coat on the outside and a dress on the inside; her hair was braided into two strands, looking like a princess - only if she wasn’t crying.
