“You should really get your brain checked if you want to stop us. Believe it or not, I can fire you if I just mention this to my in-law!”

The soldier frowned. “That won’t do. Unless Chief Zhai agrees to it, you can’t enter. As to whether I get fired, I’ll receive my instructions from the military.”

Seeing Mother Wei throwing a tantrum, Wei De stopped her immediately. That would be too embarrassing for him. “All right. Please let him know. Just tell him that it’s a very important matter. Jiajia is missing and we have to find her!” Once they knew that their daughter was missing, he would not even have to step in. Zhai Hua would definitely rush out at once to find their daughter with him. action

Hearing that a child was missing, the soldier was frantic too. But very quickly, the soldier remembered that there had been a teenage young lady sitting in the Zhai family’s car when they went out the previous night. That young lady had come back after shopping late at night too. She had not gone missing. Could it be that there was another child in the Zhai family?

No matter what it was, the soldier relayed Wei De’s message to the Zhai family, who sneered at those words.

Miao Jing slammed the table in anger. “It’s been an entire day. Is he only thinking about Jiajia now? Why didn’t he think about Jiajia and Hua Hua yesterday? Ask him to scram!” Who was he taking as a fool? There was no way Wei De would be in a hurry to find Jiajia out of his concern for her.

The Zhai family was a huge tree that Wei De clearly did not want to lose.

What made Miao Jing most upset was that the incident had taken place a whole day earlier but Wei De had only come to find them now. Wei De truly did not care about Zhai Hua or Jiajia. This paternal love was too fake that she did not even want to let Jiajia know about it in case she got upset.

The soldier could not help but ask, “The child isn’t lost, is she?”

“No.”

Afterward, the soldier did not pose any more questions. Since the child had not gone missing, nothing else was important. “I’m sorry. Chief Zhai’s family does not have time to entertain you. Please leave.” Yesterday, Chief Zhai’s family had already made the announcement never to let the Wei family in. The privileges that had once been granted to them were now being withdrawn, including Wei De, who was the Zhai family’s son-in-law.

The soldier was curious why the Zhai family had suddenly returned to Ping Cheng to stay in the courtyard but kept his curiosity to himself. It was best for him to do his job without being too nosy. But he was not blind. There had to be something going on in the Zhai family for them to have made such a huge move. Now that they had given specific instructions to restrict the Wei family’s access, it could only mean that the problem lay with the Wei family. The child was certainly not missing, but the Wei family had said that she was missing. This was interesting.

As outsiders, they could only listen to their leaders’ instructions and carry out their duties dutifully. Everything else had nothing to do with them.

“Are you sure that the Zhai family said that? You’d better go ask Zhai Hua. Isn’t she anxious that her child is missing?” Wei De did not believe that Zhai Hua would tell him to scram. He believed that Zhai Hua hated that he had been in an affair with Wei Xiaomei. But Zhai Hua would never neglect her own daughter out of anger. Zhai Hua was incapable of doing that.

“That’s right. Please leave. Don’t block the entrance,” the soldier said straightforwardly, embarrassing the Wei family.

Wei De clenched his fist. “I don’t believe you. Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you either. I-I’ll make a phone call to Zhai Hua myself.” Up until now, Wei De had not thought of how to face Zhai Hua or explain that he had not done all these willingly. But at this point in time, Wei De had no choice but to face Zhai Hua and thus made the phone call.

With the Zhai family’s attitude, Wei De was slightly worried that Zhai Hua would refuse to answer his call. Unexpectedly, his phone call had gotten through after just three dial tones. In the instant that his phone call was connected, Wei De’s face lit up. “Hua Hua, it’s me. Listen to me. I’m not lying. Jiajia is really missing...”

“Wei De, let’s get a divorce. You can choose whether we should get a divorce amicably or whether we should go to court.” Zhai Hua was willing to accept this phone call not because she wanted to hear Wei De spout his nonsense. She was clear about whether her daughter had gone missing. Yesterday, if Qiao Nan had not brought her daughter home, Jiajia might very well be missing for real today. Had that happened, she would not be a Zhai if she did not kill the Wei family.

The Wei family knew all about Wei De’s relationship with Wei Xiaomei and Wei Wei’s heritage. That was why they had never cherished their granddaughter, Jiajia, since they already had a grandson.

After having her daughter, Zhai Hua had not been able to accept the Wei family’s indulgence in Wei Wei. Now that Zhai Hua had found out the truth of the matter, even more so she could not tolerate the Wei family’s shamelessness. Since their grandson was so good, she would help the Wei family and let their family reunite. She would let the fatherless Wei Wei have his father so that Wei De would no longer have to pamper his son so secretly by saying that he was Wei Wei’s uncle.

Wei De felt as though there was something buzzing in his ears, as if something had just exploded in his head. “Hua Hua. What-what are you saying?”

“Divorce.”

“No! I’m not going to get a divorce!” Wei De roared. “Hua Hua, why don’t you give me a chance to explain? I can explain to you what you saw yesterday! We’ve been a couple for so many years. Don’t you have a little trust in me? It wasn’t voluntary! I was tricked into it! I didn’t know that Xiaomei felt that way toward me. She-she drugged me. When I sobered up, I was mad. Even though she isn’t our family’s biological child, I’ve always seen her as my little sister. After what happened yesterday, I can’t face her in our family anymore. So, I sent her back to the countryside yesterday. Hua Hua, I’m innocent! I’m a victim too!”

Wei De could not care less about the guards standing at the courtyard entrance and tried to explain everything to Zhai Hua in a frenzy. No matter what, he would never get divorced from Zhai Hua. He had never thought of ending his relationship with Zhai Hua! In this lifetime, his wife would be Zhai Hua alone. He would never get a divorce! Never! If he were to get divorced, his position as a company commander would be in danger, let alone becoming a regiment commander. Without a wife like Zhai Hua, he would have nothing.

He could not afford to let his twenty years’ worth of effort go down the drain because of his marriage.

“Hehehe...” Zhai Hua almost believed Wei De, who seemed to have been full of reason. “You know best whether you did it voluntarily with Wei Xiaomei. I don’t want to be the person who stands in the way of your family reunion. Congratulations. I only gave birth to Jiajia, but you have good fortune indeed. Your son is even older than Jiajia.”
