Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 8

Wei Xiao widened his eyes and looked at Wei Feng. Didn’t his grandfather care about his reputation the most? How could he allow him, the eldest grandson of the Wei family and the future successor of the corporation, to lower his head and apologize to a group of poor people?

Seeing that Wei Xiao didn’t comply, Wei Feng glared at him. Wei Xiao was so frightened that he immediately bowed 90 degrees and apologized sincerely. He didn’t dare to be perfunctory anymore.

The situation had escalated to a point where the engagement could not continue. If they were to force themselves to stay together, they would become a resentful couple.

Wei Feng sighed. “You can’t force a melon to be sweet. Since these two youngsters are not fated, we cannot force them to be together anymore. Let’s cancel the engagement. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me. Even if I’m gone, the head of the Wei family will acknowledge my words.”

When Wei Xiao heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although he had angered his grandfather, at least he had succeeded in canceling the marriage. How could his wife be such a useless vase and even bring along a burden from her family? As for what his grandfather said about the future… Heh… When he takes control of the company, he will do things his own way.

Wen Nian had achieved her most important goal today. There was no need to stay any longer.

After the Wen family bade farewell and left, Wei Feng looked at Wei Xiao with a dark expression and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Xiao felt uneasy, but he knew that arguing would only make things worse. After enduring the discomfort for a few minutes, he heard Wei Feng say, “I’ll have someone handle the necessary procedures right away. Pack your things and leave for America in a few days.”

Wei Xiao widened his eyes and looked at Wei Feng. “Grandpa, didn’t we agree to go overseas after high school graduation? I just took over the Baisheng Corporation and still have a lot to learn.”

Wei Feng looked at Wei Xiao and said, “I won’t repeat my decision.”

Wei Feng’s eldest daughter-in-law had passed away early, and his eldest son was useless. He only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day, so Wei Xiao had been raised by Wei Feng since he was young.

After all, Wei Feng had been the one who raised Wei Xiao. Compared to his other grandchildren, Wei Feng couldn’t help but dote on him.

Wei Xiao was also hardworking. He always ranked within the top three in his grade. He knew when to push and when to pull back. He was level-headed and had a strategic mind. Compared to his other two grandsons, Wei Feng was undoubtedly the most content with Wei Xiao and considered him as his successor. However, now, if Wei Xiao were scheming against him, that would not be okay!

Wei Feng stood up and looked down at Wei Xiao. “Also, don’t attempt to use your schemes on me. I think I’m still young enough and wouldn’t have any problem grooming another successor.”

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Wei Feng’s voice. With that, he turned around and went upstairs, leaving Wei Xiao, whose back was covered in cold sweat.

On the other side, the Wen family’s mood was not affected by the small interlude in the morning. The family happily went to the underground street to buy shoes for Wen Nian.

Hai City No. 1 High School was a key public high school in the city. Wen Yu was in her second year of high school, while Wen Nian was in his third year. The teaching building for the third year of high school was located at the back of the school. To ensure that the third-year students had enough time to study and stay on campus, they were only allowed to go home on weekends, except for special circumstances.

Other than on weekends, the only other day without evening self-study was Friday. As a result, apart from Monday morning and Friday afternoon, Wen Nian had to travel to and from school by herself for the rest of the week. To save money, her family had only bought a bicycle for both of them to share.

After Wen Yu dropped off Wen Nian at the Year Two school building, he went to the parking shed to park the car. Meanwhile, Wen Nian rushed up to the third-floor classroom in two to three steps. It was still early, so there were only a few students in the class.

Everyone was a little surprised to see that Wen Nian had not been late for the past two days. After Wen Nian got into No.1 High School as the first place in the entrance exam, she only managed to get first place in the first half of the first semester of the first year of high school. In the subsequent examinations, her grades had gotten worse and worse. Now, she had even fallen to the middle level of the grade. There were 623 people in the entire grade, and everyone guessed that Wen Nian would definitely fall beyond the 400th place after the first semester of the second year of high school.

Wen Nian didn’t care about everyone’s gazes.She just smiled and greeted, “Morning.”

The students were stunned for a moment. By the time they reacted, Wen Nian had already sat down. She retracted her attention and continued reading her book.

Wen Nian had reflected on herself in the past few days since her rebirth. She realized that her personality was the main reason why she was not close to her classmates. In addition, ever since Wen Nian met Huang Yue in high school, she always acted as if Wen Nian was bullying her.

For example, if Huang Yue accidentally knocked a cup over, she would mention Wen Nian and insist that Wen Nian had nothing to do with the cup falling off the desk. Outsiders would only think that Huang Yue was trying to help Wen Nian and attemping to cover up Wen Nian’s mistake.
