After picking up the poor little girl from a wealthy family, he was entangled

"dad."

In the Wei family's study, Wei Yi called out to Wei Zengrong somewhat nervously.

Throughout his life, there were very few times when Wei Zengrong had such a serious conversation with Wei Yi.

Inevitably, Wei Yi was a little excited and a little nervous at this moment.

Nervous because Wei Zengrong always looked stern; and excited...In Wei Yi's heart, even being scolded by Wei Zengrong was better than being ignored by him.

When he was a child and didn't know much, Wei Yi even tried to act naughty and cause trouble to attract other people's attention.

Then, before Wei Zengrong could react, Wei Yi was punished by her mother Liao Qiurong.

Except for the matter of Wei Mi, although Liao Qiurong loves her son Wei Yi very much, she never relaxes on the issue of education.

Even if we ignore her dislike for Wei Zengrong and her unwillingness to let her son do something inappropriate for such a father; just from the perspective of shaping her son's character, Liao Qiurong does not want Wei Yi to take such an irrational approach just to attract someone's attention.

Although it seems now that Wei Yi still has a rather morbid desire for recognition from his father, but with Liao Qiurong's intervention, Wei Yi at least did not embark on the path of debauchery and poverty.

That would only ruin his life.

It was also because of Liao Qiurong's guidance that Wei Yi took the path of working hard to make progress and do things for the Wei family in order to let Wei Zengrong see his excellence.

A child's natural admiration for his parents is hard to erase, not to mention that Wei Yi has a somewhat stubborn personality.

The more Wei Zengrong ignored him, the more he wanted his approval.

Liao Qiurong was already dissatisfied with Wei Zengrong's secret replacement of her first child. She finally had a second child to whom she placed her longing, but Wei Yi almost went astray because of Wei Zengrong. Since then, she hated him even more.

However, no matter how much Liao Qiurong disliked and hated Wei Zengrong, the Liao family had been forced to become entangled with the Wei family as early as when the latter replaced the two children.

The more time passes, the more this is true.

Wei Zengrong also knew how to reduce the risk of Liao Qiurong betraying him in the early stages - he soon made Liao Qiurong pregnant with her second child.

Didn’t Liao Qiurong hate him because she was forced to separate from the child she had carried for ten months?

Then he would give her a second child that she had carried for ten months, so that she could pour all her maternal love into the second child.

Wei Zengrong didn't care what Liao Qiurong thought of him. Even if she hated him, when the interests of the two families coincided, she had no choice but to protect him.

Not to mention, Liao Qiurong gave birth to a good child, and Wei Yi's feelings for him made it easier for Wei Zengrong to control her.

No, not one.

Wei Zengrong thought that Liao Qiurong gave birth to two good children - one that enabled him to start the child exchange plan, and the other to help him add insurance to the plan.

Thinking of this, Wei Zengrong suddenly no longer felt that it was a big deal that Liao Qiurong quarreled with him about the child - it was good to have feelings for the child, and the more maternal love Liao Qiurong had, the more he could take advantage of it.

However, compared to his and Liao Qiurong's first child, Wei Yi is still a little too immature...

Looking at Wei Yi who was standing in front of him and had just called him "Dad", Wei Zengrong felt that this child was so easy to understand.

It's not that he doesn't know that Wei Yi desires his recognition, and it's also not that he can't give him that affirmation, but there's no need.

In fact, the more Wei Yi's desire was fruitless, the more he could target Wei Mi as Wei Zengrong hoped.

As he couldn't do it too obviously, Wei Zengrong couldn't treat Wei Mi harshly in public, but "quarrels" between children could be said to be a normal occurrence.

Even for this purpose, Wei Yi was destined not to get the recognition he wanted most from Wei Zengrong.

Not to mention, Wei Zengrong himself didn't have much affection for Wei Yi - he spent more energy guiding his chess piece Wei Yi than caring for his son Wei Yi.

The only thing to blame is Wei Yi for not choosing a good time to be born. If he could be born first in Liao Qiurong's belly, then he would be the child in a more important position now.

That child's starting point is different from Wei Yi's. What's the point of the latter trying harder?

And Wei Yi is really not smart enough.

Thinking about what Wei Yi had done in the past two days, Wei Zengrong gathered his scattered thoughts and uttered a light "hmm" as a response to the other party's call of "Dad".

Because Wei Zengrong's thoughts were distracted during this period, there was only a few seconds' interval between his response to Wei Yi.

And these few seconds of interval made Wei Yi's nervousness even worse.

Wei Yi's performance was so obvious that Wei Zengrong's opinion of the child inevitably dropped a little.

Despite this, Wei Zengrong said in a gentle tone, "Have you had some conflicts with your friends recently?"

Wei Zengrong knew that Wei Yi was making connections everywhere.

Although those younger generations don't have much weight in their family, they are better than nothing.

Therefore, even though Wei Zengrong did not think highly of Wei Yi's efforts, he was happy to see them succeed.

After all, these people have been of some use over the years.

However, Wei Yi's performance in the past two days was not what Wei Zengrong wanted to see.

It was because of the discovery of Wei Yi's abnormality that Wei Zengrong had a conversation with Wei Yi in the study today.

Although Wei Zengrong looked stern, his pretended gentle tone was still very effective - at least Wei Yi was not as nervous as before.

Thinking of what I learned from Wei Mi, because he was busy finding out the truth for his brother, his father was very pleased about it and even said that he had worked very hard...

Wei Yi immediately replied in a resounding voice: "Yes, Dad."

He told Wei Zengrong the truth about the accident at the party. Although he tried his best to control himself, his tone couldn't help revealing a sense of pride in venting Wei Mi's anger.

That was guided by Wei Mi, and Wei Yi believed that Wei Zengrong would be proud of him.

Wei Zengrong listened to Wei Yi's story quietly, and a look of relief appeared on his face, just as the other party expected - on the surface, he was a loving father who doted on Wei Mi.

Since he is a loving father, how could he show displeasure when his own child stood up for his siblings?

Although, his heart was already filled with displeasure at this moment.

And the contempt for Wei Yi, this fool.

Of course, what made Wei Zengrong still sit here, listening patiently to Wei Yi's story and asking him some detailed questions from time to time was his exploration of Wei Mi's recent changes.
