"What?"
"Wei Lin... was telling the truth. This setup was specifically designed to hunt him down." The person on the other end of the line shuddered involuntarily as they spoke.
"What's going on?"
"Our little miss is safe and sound. She even attended a dinner party, walking right beside Ke Muning, who claid... to be her godfather."
"..."
"Ke Muning, that madman... is her godfather?"
There was a collective silence on the phone.
After a while, a voice spoke up again: "If what Wei Lin said wasn't wrong, then surely... it couldn't have been planned by a seven-year-old child, right?"
"That's Wei Lin underestimating the Wei brothers. A child couldn't possibly... just think about it." The person sighed, "Wei Wenjun has truly risen up. He played this act so well, from losing control and going mad after losing his niece, constantly talking about going down together, the company going bankrupt... but in reality, he had laid out a trap in secret."
"Indeed, the old man always kept Wei Lin around, waiting for his children to grow up. Now the old man's wish has been fulfilled, and he can finally cut off the unnecessary business segnts without any concerns. But Wei Lin is pretty much a dead man now. Who's going to take the fall for those business segnts?" The person paused.
"It won't be us, will it?"
The call was disconnected at this point.
The people in the board of directors couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Wei Wenjun soon received the news as well.
"Godfather?" His lips twitched, "Ke Muning, that emotionally unstable madman... beca Xiao Ya's godfather?"
Although Wei Lin had repeatedly said that Xiao Ya and Ke Muning had ford an alliance, no one expected this "alliance" to be so solid!
"Are we still enemies with Ke Muning then?" The subordinate was confused.
"I guess not anymore." Wei Wenjun massaged his temples.
"The little miss is truly surprising." The subordinate marveled.
Speaking of this, Wei Wenjun had a lot to say: "Xiao Ya is so adorable, it's normal that even a madman like Ke Muning would like her..."
Subordinate: ?
As they were talking, Wei Wenjun's phone suddenly rang. He looked down... it was Xiao Ya calling from her own phone! Finally! Finally, she wasn't just calling Xing Siyun to relay ssages anymore!
Wei Wenjun answered the call with tears in his eyes.
"Second Uncle, I'm back."
There were no words in the world more pleasant to hear than these!
After finishing the call with Xiao Ya, Wei Wenqing surprisingly called as well.
When he answered, an AI voice ca through: "Brother, I'm at the airport. Co pick up."
...He really ca!
"No ti to pick you up, I have to go get Xiao Ya."
"Oh."
"But I can send soone to pick you up."
Wei Wenjun sent soone to the airport and even had ti to change into a new suit.
The previous one had a bloody sll, which wasn't pleasant.
After changing, he went to the door and craned his neck to look outside... looking and looking.
Wei Wenjun's expression froze.
The car stopped outside the villa's gate, and Ke Muning got out, holding Xiao Ya's hand. At that mont, driven by instinct, everyone in the Gui family raised their guns simultaneously.
No one said Ke Muning would personally bring her back!
"Second Uncle!" Xiao Ya opened her arms wide.
Wei Wenjun temporarily ignored everything else and rushed to Xiao Ya's side with a quick slide.
Xiao Ya imdiately hugged his neck.
Ke Muning frowned behind them.
After the hug, Xiao Ya quickly let go and grabbed Ke Muning's finger, saying, "Second Uncle, this is Ke Muning."
Wei Wenjun's face stiffened: "How could I not know him?"
"He's my godfather."
Wei Wenjun's vision went black for a mont. Okay, it was true! It couldn't be more true...
Xiao Ya grabbed Wei Wenjun's hand: "Co on, shake hands."
The Gui family mbers all tensed up to the extre.
They couldn't be blad for being so on guard; mainly because Ke Muning had been mad for too long, infamous for his insanity.
Wei Wenjun really wanted to pull his hand back.
Ke Muning wasn't too willing either.
How disgusting, shaking hands...
But the two grown n, with their fingers held by a little girl, didn't dare to pull away.
In the end... Xiao Ya managed to make them clasp hands.
"Now that you've shaken hands, consider it a truce," Xiao Ya looked up, finally showing a slight smile.
Looking at that hard-earned smile on her face, what could the two n say?
They both maintained stiff expressions but still shook hands.
"Since Xiao Ya chose her own godfather..." Wei Wenjun felt absurd even as he said it. Ah, choosing one's own godfather. It could only be said that their Xiao Ya was too extraordinary.
"I guess..." Wei Wenjun, feeling like he had swallowed a fly, barely squeezed out the words, "you're one of us now."
Ke Muning didn't particularly want to be one of them, but hearing these words gave him an idea.
"Then invite in," he said bluntly.
Wei Wenjun: ?
Ke Muning: "Keep for dinner. Isn't that the custom in your Hua Country?"
Wei Wenjun: "...Please co in."
When Wei Wenqing was brought ho, he saw the scene of Ke Muning, his brother, and their Xiao Ya sitting around a table in a triumvirate.
Wait, Ke Muning?... Ke Muning???
Wei Wenqing took half a step back, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
It wasn't until his brother turned around and waved, saying in a slightly tired and powerless tone: "Co, Wenqing, sit down and get acquainted."
This was an unprecedented absurd scene in the Gui family.
But the al was eaten in relative harmony.
After all, although Ke Muning's actions were rough and he couldn't help teasing the child, when it ca to experience in taking care of children, he had more than Wei Wenjun and his brother combined.
He was gentle with Xiao Ya.
He genuinely liked her.
Since their principles aligned, there was nothing that couldn't be worked out.
"Xiao Ya, are you full?" Wei Wenjun put down his chopsticks.
Xiao Ya nodded.
"Second Uncle has so things to talk to you about..." Wei Wenjun pushed his wheelchair, and Xiao Ya imdiately followed.
Ke Muning stood up too, and Wei Wenqing gestured to a servant nearby, indicating to see Ke Muning out.
However, Ke Muning turned to the servant and said: "Prepare a room for ."
The servant's mouth opened so wide it seed like it could fit a duck egg.
"We're all family now, I'm staying the night," Ke Muning made a reasonable request.
The servant closed their mouth.
No wonder they say he's mad? Can he really sleep here? They were enemies until just today!
Wei Wenqing was in a hurry to catch up with his brother, so he made a few haphazard gestures, indicating to the servant to arrange it as requested.
When Wei Wenqing caught up to the study, he heard Wei Wenjun saying to Xiao Ya: "At that ti, Wei Lin said sothing like this, he said 'Why don't we talk about how the second young lady went mad?' Those people didn't let him continue. It was precisely this sentence that made them panic."
"Was Auntie hard by the board mbers?" Xiao Ya frowned.
"That's what Wei Lin implied... but I didn't ask for details at the ti because it wasn't appropriate."
"Why wasn't it appropriate?"
"We were just one final blow away from taking down Wei Lin. If we had implicated others at that point, it might have forced them to steel their hearts and co after together."
Xiao Ya cupped her face seriously and said: "Second Uncle is so smart!"
Wei Wenjun blushed: "Second Uncle isn't smart, Second Uncle isn't as good as you."
Xiao Ya shook her head: "Who says so? I didn't tell Second Uncle on the phone that you should hold back at such tis, but Second Uncle did it. When Second Uncle is clear-headed, you can analyze problems very clearly, so Second Uncle is smart!"
The child's praise was so sincere, without any exaggeration. Wei Wenjun tried to hold back, but couldn't help smiling. The gloom in his eyes dissipated because of this.
"So Second Uncle shouldn't lose control because of worrying about anymore." Xiao Ya raised her arms and twirled, her skirt flaring out in a wave-like arc.
"Look, Second Uncle, I'll be fine."
Wei Wenjun's nose stung: "Mm. I know, you're great, you take good care of yourself. It's uncle who wants to make up for those missing years too much, always feeling scared when you're out of my sight, afraid that sothing might happen to you, afraid you might get hurt..."
"Then uncle needs to beco more and more clear-headed, smarter and more capable."
"Alright! Uncle promises you!"
Wei Wenqing couldn't help but squeeze in, looking at Xiao Ya with full expectation, seemingly hoping for her praise as well. If not for being smart, she could praise sothing else, right?
Xiao Ya turned and hugged him. "Little uncle, don't bla yourself anymore. Mom would be sad if she knew."
Wei Wenqing nodded vigorously.
But what about praise?
In the end, Xiao Ya hadn't praised him at all.
Wei Wenqing felt a bit disappointed, but it made him even more determined. He needed to show his good qualities too! He had to work hard to beco strong!
That night, they all slept incredibly soundly.
The next morning after waking up.
Ke Muning sat directly on the living room sofa, looking every bit like the master of the house.
When Wei Wenjuan ca out in his wheelchair, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Of course, Ke Muning knew nothing of sha.
Just as he was thinking about how to stay at the Gui Family's house for a few more days, Xiao Ya ca down the stairs, followed by a servant carrying a large suitcase.
Seeing this, Ke Muning's eyelid twitched: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Ya looked at him: "Back to the country."
Ke Muning's expression darkened, looking sowhat terrifying. He said, "I won't allow it."
Wei Wenjuan frowned at his words, and even the servants looked at him trembling with fear.
Xiao Ya, unfazed as usual, wasn't afraid of him at all and simply said, "Ke Muning, I have to go back to school."
"You can go to school here. I'll pick you up and drop you off every day, just like before," Ke Muning said forcefully.
"That won't work. I need to be with Grandpa and Great-grandpa. They've only just found , and they need ," Xiao Ya said firmly.
The servants were afraid they might start arguing. What if Ke Muning turned around and killed their young master first?
But although Ke Muning's expression was terrifying, he still sat there properly: "I need you too."
"But you're a grown-up," Xiao Ya said.
The servants: ?
What kind of tone was this to use when coaxing a child?
Xiao Ya continued, "You should co to Hua Country to see ."
Ke Muning snorted coldly without saying a word.
Aliali: 67358284d72ede93494505f5Xiao Ya added, "So you can't violate Hua Country's laws. You can't do anything harmful to Hua Country, otherwise you won't be able to enter the country in the future, and you'll never see again."
Ke Muning cursed in Dutch.
Xiao Ya walked over and climbed onto his lap: "Ke Muning, aren't you going to take to the airport?"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Ke Muning squeezed out the words between his teeth.
This was the first ti Wei Wenjuan and the others had seen such a scene so directly... Was he really tad just like that?
Despite Ke Muning's forceful words, it didn't stop him from compromising.
*
anwhile, Secretary Wang had waited for two days without receiving another call from Xiao Ya.
The feeling was like ordering sothing you've been longing for, but the seller is taking forever to ship it... it was unbearable.
"When will the Gui Family's matters be resolved?" He counted on his fingers and said to his assistant, "Go to Australia and raise two athyst pythons for a couple of days."
