The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 391: Chapter 390: What a Pity

Due to Zheng Xiangxin’s words, the meal was a bit silent, and once it was over, Yiyi planned to take her leave.

Qu Yiqi quickly urged from the side, ”Yiyi, you just finished eating, why don’t you and Er Ya go sit in Zhirong’s room? You are all ladies and surely have lots of topics to chat about. As for Xiao Gu and Xiao Fan, let Zixiao keep them company.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhirong also chimed in, ”Yes, Yiyi, you and Er Ya should come to my room.”

Seeing Mrs. Wei and Wei Zhirong warmly insisting, Yiyi didn’t want to disappoint them and eventually agreed.

Once the three were in Wei Zhirong’s room, Wei Zhirong immediately apologized, ”Yiyi, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect my second aunt to act that way.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, ”Zhirong, you don’t need to apologize, it’s not like you did anything wrong.”

Even after hearing that, Wei Zhirong still felt apologetic.

”No matter what, it’s my fault for not hosting you well today. I should have had my dad and my uncle sit at another table. Seriously, my mom assured me everything would be fine, but then my second aunt still behaves like this. I really feel for my uncle for putting up with her all this time.”

Wei Zhirong was straightforward and didn’t hide her feelings from Yiyi and Fei Er Ya.

Fei Er Ya still remembered Uncle Wei’s handsome and gentle appearance, but Zheng Xiangxin seemed rather sharp and mean. She couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, ”How did your uncle and second aunt end up together?”

When it came to this matter, Wei Zhirong had a lot to say.

”It’s a long story. My uncle went to the rural south back in the day. I heard that’s when my uncle and second aunt met.”

Hearing this, Yiyi raised an eyebrow.

If Wei Hanliang met Zheng Xiangxin in the south, it should have been during his time as an educated youth. Back then... wasn’t he in their village? But Zheng Xiangxin wasn’t from their area.

Thinking of this, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, ”Where is your second aunt from?”

”She’s from J Province.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi asked again, ”J Province? But I heard that your uncle initially went to Z Province.”

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Wei Zhirong looked at her with surprise and said, ”I didn’t expect you to know my uncle went to Z Province. He did go there first, but due to changes in organizational arrangements, he didn’t stay long and quickly moved to J Province.”

If that’s the case, then after saving her mother, Wei Hanliang quickly left for J Province, which is why her mother never saw him again.

Thinking of this, Yiyi couldn’t quite describe her current feelings—it was a mix of regret for her mother back then and a bit of something she couldn’t put her finger on.

And Fei Er Ya directly asked, ”So, your uncle and second aunt met in J Province?”

”Yes, back then, my uncle had an accident in J Province and it was my second aunt’s father who saved him. Then, her father demanded favors as repayment, insisting that my uncle marry my second aunt. In the end, my uncle married her.”

Hearing this, Fei Er Ya couldn’t help but frown, ”He really agreed to that?”

Wei Zhirong shrugged and said, ”What choice did he have? If he didn’t marry my second aunt back then, he probably wouldn’t have been able to stay in the rural areas of J Province at all. Moreover, everyone was pressuring him, and he was in a difficult situation, so he had no choice but to accept it grudgingly. Besides, my uncle was genuinely grateful for the grace of my second aunt’s father and treated my second aunt very well after marriage, but unfortunately...”

At the end, Wei Zhirong sighed.

”Unfortunately, my second aunt didn’t know how to cherish him. No matter how well my uncle treated her, she continued her antics, and they still have no children. The root cause lies with my second aunt, but even so, my uncle never despised her. Yet she still acts this way; I really just...”

Wei Zhirong felt at a loss for words.

Yiyi was also a little surprised upon hearing this; she didn’t expect Wei Hanliang to have no children.

Fei Er Ya added from the side, ”Your uncle is really too good.”

”I also think my uncle is great.”

Wei Zhirong said with pride.

You should know that her uncle not only looked outstanding but was also critically competent in his work. This time, his promotion was entirely due to his own efforts, which speaks volumes of his capability.

At this point, Fei Er Ya became a bit puzzled.

”Zhirong, even if your second aunt is troublesome, Yiyi just met her for the first time. Why does she have such a big issue with Yiyi?”

Fei Er Ya had also noticed Zheng Xiangxin’s expression just now and felt that her attitude towards Yiyi was a bit off.

Speaking of this, Wei Zhirong shook her head and said, ”I don’t know either; maybe my second aunt was unhappy because Yiyi didn’t personally come to thank her or bring her gifts. You know, my second aunt is quite greedy.”

Thinking of Zheng Xiangxin, Wei Zhirong just felt speechless.

Hearing this, Fei Er Ya didn’t ask any more questions, thinking that Wei Zhirong might be right, since she knew her second aunt well.

But Yiyi raised her eyebrows thoughtfully, finding Zheng Xiangxin’s attitude towards her somewhat strange and couldn’t help speculating a little.

However, it wasn’t something she was comfortable asking more about, so she just quietly drank her tea.

”Alright, alright, let’s stop talking about my second aunt and talk about something else,” Wei Zhirong suggested, thinking any other subject would be more pleasant than her second aunt.

Fei Er Ya responded with a smile and started talking about other things.

Yiyi naturally joined in their conversation about other topics.

Meanwhile, Wei Zixiao and Gu Tingyu were also talking, and Wei Zixiao was apologizing to Gu Tingyu for the incident with Zheng Xiangxin.

”Tingyu, I’m really sorry. I don’t know why my second aunt is hostile towards your wife. Next time, we’ll have to have a meal together again.”

Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, ”No need.”

”Yes, it’s necessary.”

Wei Zixiao warmly invited them and also looked toward Fan Qianshu and said, ”At that time, you and your partner must also honor us with your presence.”

Fan Qianshu heard this and smiled, nodding in agreement.

Seeing this, Gu Tingyu didn’t insist on declining anymore.

Around three in the afternoon, Yiyi, feeling that they had chatted enough, said her farewells to Wei Zhirong.

”Yiyi, why don’t you stay and have dinner with us before heading back?”

”No, it’s already enough that we disturbed you all at lunchtime. How can we impose for dinner too? We’ll eat at home.”

Fei Er Ya also added from the side, ”Yes, Zhirong, we can arrange another meal another time.”

Thinking of her second aunt, Wei Zhirong didn’t insist and accompanied them to the front living room.

Gu Tingyu and the others also seemed done with their conversation, and after saying goodbye to Wei’s father and Mrs. Wei, they left.
