Wei Yunchu opened the door to the passenger’s seat, threw his backpack into the backseat, and left quietly with Jiang Xiaowei.
Aside from Jiang Xiaowei, no one knew that Wei Yunchu had returned to China.
He did not inform anyone beforehand, including when he was drinking with Qin Guoguo in Germany. He also did not say that he was coming back.
Why would someone who had not returned for five years suddenly return?
The answer was obvious. It was for the twins’ coming of age ceremony, or rather, Wei Yunchu wanted to attend Pudding’s 18th birthday.
“Does Pudding know that you are coming back?”
“Of course not. Mother, don’t tell anyone.”
“You want to give her a surprise?” Jiang Xiaowei was in a good mood as she drove because her son had returned.
Wei Yunchu pursed his lips. “Actually, I don’t know if my return is a surprise or a shock to her.”
“Son, don’t say that… between you and Pudding…”
“Mom, let us settle our own issues.”
Hearing her son’s words, Jiang Xiaowei knew that her son didn’t want his elders to interfere, and he didn’t want to make things difficult for Pudding.
“Where’s Tiantian?”
“She came back early. Didn’t she go back to my aunt’s house?” Wei Yunchu was referring to Wei Ying’s house.
Jiang Xiaowei was surprised. “No… I saw your auntie yesterday and she said Tiantian is still in Germany.”
Wei Yunchu did not look surprised. “That’s her business.”
He never cared about Tiantian’s matters. Five years ago, Wei Yunchu went abroad.
That night, Tiantian made a last-minute decision to travel. In order to help her with the troublesome procedures, Shen Mingxi even spent a large sum of money.
All these years, everyone knew that Shen Mingxi treated Tiantian well because of her guilt towards Huo Yanyan’s death.
After all, Huo Yanyan was considered to have died in Shen Mingxi’s hands, and it was for Wei Ying.
Therefore, the couple felt an inexplicable sense of guilt towards Huo Yanyan.
That was why she had gotten her way all these years…
Everyone knew that Tiantian liked Wei Yunchu.
Only Pudding and Wei Yunchu knew that Tiantian didn’t really like Wei Yunchu.
She just liked to fight with Pudding. In short, she liked whatever Pudding liked.
All these years, she had followed Pudding’s hairstyle.
She would buy the exact same clothes as Pudding.
The competition made Tiantian change from a young scheming b*tch to a mature scheming b*tch.
That was why it would be nuts for Wei Yunchu to like her.
Wei Yunchu stayed in a luxurious apartment in America. There were maids, butlers, and bodyguards. It was heavily guarded.
Tiantian, on the other hand, lived in a bachelor pad in school with other students.
Because they were not from the same faculty, they did not meet often.
When she came to look for Wei Yunchu occasionally, he would avoid her.
Later on, it was rumored that Tiantian was quite close to a foreigner and they even moved out to live together.
Not long after, she was beaten up by him and was hospitalized. However, she did not dare to tell her family.
It was Wei Yunchu who had brought the bodyguards to the hospital and beat up her violent boyfriend.
It was unclear if it was out of gratitude, but Tiantian did not stick to Wei Yunchu anymore.
She had a good time with other Chinese students in school.
He had heard about Tiantian returning to the country before.
It seemed that not only had she returned to China, but she had also not told her family. This woman was really one of a kind.
“Do you want to go home or go to your dad’s company first?” Jiang Xiaowei tilted her head and asked her son.
Before Wei Yunchu could say anything, the female host’s voice came from the small TV in the car. “At 10 AM this morning, GK’s CEO, Mr. Qin Chu, is holding a jewelry press conference at Kaiyue Hotel with GK’s Acting CEO, Miss Qin Zhaozhao. The celebrities under the company, Liao Muchen and Han Yueyao, are both attending. Let’s take a look at the live scene.”
Wei Yunchu’s eyes were glued to the screen as he looked at the cold girl sitting next to Qin Chu.
Little Bean nodded. “That’s a great idea. I support Auntie.”
“After all these years, Little Bean, you’re still so good at sucking up…” Qiao Yuanyuan laughed.
“Go away, I’m serious… I’d really like Grandpa staying here.” Little Bean’s heart was filled with joy at the thought of Grandpa staying at her house.
“I don’t agree. I want Grandpa to go to Russia,” Qiao Tuantuan said domineeringly.
“It’s also great if Grandpa and I can stay in Germany together. I can have some help on my research project.” Qin Guoguo also started to fight for favor.
“You guys… all have your own selfish motives. Alright… don’t even think about it. We’ll wait for your grandpa to come and see where he likes to be,” Huo Mian said.
Suddenly, Qiao Fei had an idea. He suggested, “Since the atmosphere is so good, why don’t we do it this way… Tomorrow when Dad comes, you guys can do whatever you want and show your grandfather what you’re capable of. If anyone can convince him, he will stay there.”
Lu Yan secretly pinched Qiao Fei. “Why are you so bad? You know that dad likes someone who is proficient in medicine… Among all these kids, Yuanyuan is the best… Aren’t you trying to win over my sister’s family?”
Qiao Yuanyuan was full of confidence as she looked at her parents with a smile.
If Huo Mian’s medical skills had reached an insane level, then Qiao Yuanyuan was the person who had surpassed the previous generation.
It was said that Qiao Yuanyuan started to make all kinds of fever medicine, flu medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine when she was five years old.
When she was eight years old, she was already able to dissect a corpse independently and perfectly make a cutting line.
She was someone that many renowned medical schools in the world fought over…
However, Lu Yan had too many enemies and was worried about her daughter going overseas. Hence, she could only place her daughter at the Russian Military Academy. Qiao Tuantuan focused on developing military equipment while Qiao Yuanyuan was a military doctor.
Hence, at the age of twelve, she was already an outstanding doctor.
Every year, Professor Lu would personally go over to teach her. The little girl’s medical skills were perfect.
Therefore, Qiao Fei’s suggestion was unfair…
Little Bean wasn’t convinced by her auntie’s words. Little Bean also studied medicine, she just wasn’t as good as Qiao Yuanyuan.
She was only an intern at South Side with her mother after attending all her classes.
“Aunty… that’s not fair… How about this, let my mom participate too… If Grandpa thinks that my mom’s medical skills are better than Yuanyuan’s, he can stay at South Hill Manor.”
“You’re so smart, even you know how to scheme,” Lu Yan laughed.
The supper passed in laughter. It was only until three in the morning before everyone returned to their rooms.
Pudding took a shower and went back to bed. It was almost dawn.
She was about to fall asleep when she received a WeChat message.
“Good morning, boss.”
Judging from the tone, she knew that it was from Liao Muchen.
Pudding: “It’s really early. Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Liao Muchen: “I just came back from my morning jog.”
Pudding: “You got excited running and couldn’t sleep, so you are harassing your boss?”
Liao Muchen: Haha, I wouldn’t dare to do that. I’m afraid that my boss will dock my pay.”
Pudding: “Good that you know. Go to sleep.”
Liao Muchen: “Boss, didn’t you give me a break? I’ll be recuperating for the next few days…”
Pudding: “What? You don’t want to?”
Liao Muchen: “No, no, no. What I mean is… I’m bored at home. Why don’t we go hiking tomorrow… I heard that the maple leaves on Mount Longhu are all red and beautiful.”
Pudding: “So you think I’m free to go hiking with you?”
