Wei Ying glanced at her watch and said, “He’ll be home soon. I just sent a WeChat message to him and he said he had come down the highway and will be home in less than 20 minutes.”
“Awesome.”
Tiantian smiled. Then she thought of something and said, “Mom Wei Ying, Yunchu is very close to… Aunt Huo Mian’s two daughters, right?”
Wei Ying nodded. “Yeah. They grew up together and spend time together almost every week. Their families are very close, and Yunchu likes Pudding very much.”
“Um… Does Pudding like Yunchu?”
“I think so. They are close anyway.”
“Hehe. I’m happy for Yunchu… Today I added him on WeChat since he is Uncle Wei Liao’s son. But for some reason he deleted me.”
Tiantian looked sulky…
“Maybe he didn’t know who you were.”
“He did. I told him. Maybe… he doesn’t like me.” Tiantian looked wronged.
“That’s impossible. The kid is very close to me. You’re my child and he won’t dislike you.”
“It’s fine. Mom Wei Ying, I only wanted to find a friend to play with during the vacation. Since Yunchu is my relative, I want to be his friend. But it doesn’t matter if he dislikes me.”
The more innocent she described herself, the worse Wei Ying felt. Thinking Yunchu had done wrong with Tiantian, Wei Ying sent a video-chat invitation to her nephew.
Wei Yunchu: “Auntie, what’s up.”
Wei Ying: “What do you mean? I can’t video-chat with you if nothing happens?”
Wei Yunchu: “Of course, you can.”
Wei Ying: “My big nephew, what are you doing?”
Wei Yunchu: “Just finished supper. I’m watching a ballgame.”
Wei Ying: “You sound like a big boy. Do you understand ballgames?”
Wei Yunchu: “…”
Wei Yunchu: “Auntie, I’m guessing you want to talk to me about something, right?”
Wei Ying: “Right. Come, nephew, I’ll introduce you to my Tiantian.”
She pulled Tiantian to face the camera.
In fact, Tiantian was pretty; she looked cute dressed in the sky-blue home clothes with her long hair draping on her shoulders.
But Wei Yunchu looked wooden.
“Hi, Yunchu,” Tiantian greeted him shyly.
Wei Ying: “Yunchu, this is my daughter. I remember you’re one month older than Tiantian. You can call her Sister Tiantian.”
Wei Yunchu: “Auntie, when did you have such a big girl? When did you give birth to her? How come I didn’t know about it?””
Wei Ying was embarrassed.
Wei Ying: “Kiddo, stop talking nonsense. She’s not my biological daughter but your uncle’s daughter.”
Wei Yunchu:”Really? Uncle’s daughter? But I don’t remember my uncle having a daughter with another woman. Is she his illegitimate daughter?”
Wei Ying: “…”
Tiantian’s face turned dark instantly.
Wei Ying: “No. Don’t make wild guesses. I’ll explain to you later. Anyway, be friendly to your sister. She usually stays in the school in Jing City and doesn’t have friends here.”
Wei Yunchu: “Auntie, it’s time for me to review English. Talk to you later.”
Before Wei Ying could reply, he hung up.
Wei Ying: “Hey, kiddo…”
Tiantian said, “Mom Wei Ying, it’s fine. I heard Yunchu is aloof to people and has few friends. I’ll try my best to get along with him. There’s no rush.”
Moved, Wei Ying touched her head. “Good girl.”
At this moment, they heard the door open.
