Ji Wei received a call from Wen Chen on the way home.
He picked it up impatiently and said angrily, “Yo, Jing Yuan’s birthday banquet ended so quickly?”
Hearing his sarcastic voice, the veins on Wen Chen’s forehead twitched. He said in a low voice, “Are you at Jing Yao’s place?”
Ji Wei replied calmly, “Yes, but I’m already out. My Brother-in-law prepared a very warm birthday banquet for Sister Yaoyao and even cooked personally. Sister Yaoyao is so touched that she’s about to cry. I can’t stay behind as a third-wheel, right?”
Every word Ji Wei said was like a knife stabbing into Wen Chen’s heart. Wen Chen’s breathing quickened as he said angrily, “Ji Wei, who are you calling Brother-in-law? Do you still know whose younger brother you are?”
Ji Wei smiled and said, “I’ll call whoever Sister Yaoyao marries Brother-in-law. Whose younger brother am I? Of course I’m Sister Yaoyao’s younger brother.”
Wen Chen took a deep breath and took a while to suppress his anger. He said anxiously and helplessly, “Little Wei, stop fooling around. Help me persuade Jing Yao back. I’ll apologize to her personally. I was insensible in the past and trusted Jing Yuan too much. This won’t happen again.”
Ji Wei sneered. “Apologize personally? CEO Wen, can you bend your precious waist down? Wen Chen, do you know what you failed the most?”
Wen Chen was stunned by Ji Wei’s retort and did not even react to being angry. He blurted out, “What?”
Ji Wei said slowly, “Because you’re too arrogant and conceited and everyone has been praising you since you were young, so you think that you’re naturally superior to others. You look down on Sister Yaoyao. No matter how much you like her, you think that getting involved with Sister Yaoyao will embarrass you. In your eyes, nothing is more important than your face.”
“You’re saying that you regret it now, but if Sister Yaoyao is really with you, once someone tells you that Sister Yaoyao isn’t worthy of you, you’ll think that it’s like this and blame everything on Sister Yaoyao. For example, you actually don’t really realize that you’re wrong now. You’re still thinking that it’s because Jing Yuan deceived you that you treated Jing Yao like that. You never thought of finding the reason from yourself.”
Wen Chen was stunned and speechless.
Ji Wei was right. After knowing about this today, he had always felt that it was because Jing Yuan had deceived him that he treated Jing Yao like that.
Wen Chen felt extremely tortured. On the one hand, he felt that he was indeed in the wrong. On the other hand, he thought that even if he was wrong, it was because of Jing Yuan’s misdirection at the beginning. He just couldn’t see through people.
“But at first, it was indeed because 1 listened to Jing Yuan…” Wen Chen subconsciously voiced his thoughts.
Ji Wei sneered. “You really don’t change. Did Jing Yuan hide it from you alone? She created a beautiful image of her in front of everyone and then slandered Jing Yao intentionally. But why didn’t Auntie and I believe her, but you did?”
Wen Chen was shocked and suddenly realized that he was ridiculously wrong. If he had trusted Jing Yao in the past, he would have doubted Jing Yuan’s obviously flawed words.
As long as he went to verify it, he would know the truth, but he didn’t. He denied Jing Yao from the bottom of his heart, so he believed Jing Yuan’s words again and again.
“I was wrong,” Wen Chen muttered.
Ji Wei did not say anything. He grew up with Wen Chen, so how could he not know what Wen Chen was thinking?
Wen Chen had already liked Jing Yao in high school. He would secretly look at Jing Yao, but he didn’t dare to let anyone discover it. It was as if it was embarrassing to let others know that he liked Jing Yao, so he secretly liked Jing Yao but resisted her goodwill with a cold face.
Ji Wei used to look forward to Jing Yao marrying Wen Chen. At the very least, she would be able to leave the Jing Family and he and his aunt would protect Jing Yao at the Wen Family.
But now, it was obvious that it was much better for Jing Yao to be with Liang Xun than to marry into the Wen Family.
“Little Wei, I already know my mistake. Help me. Aren’t you very close to Jing Yao? Help me woo her back.” This was the first time Wen Chen had lowered himself to beg someone.
However, Ji Wei was not touched. “1 can’t help. I won’t help the wicked. To be honest, Liang Xun is 10,000 times better than you. Sister Yaoyao is very happy with him..”
