Chapter 425: A Ruse

“Mom, don’t tell me that Grandpa is snubbing Cousin Chen just because he is confined to a wheelchair? Every time I visit Grandpa, I notice how well he is treating Du Shixian. I feel bad for uncle; grandpa’s health is getting worse by the year, I bet he is leaving all his fortune to Du Shixian, neglecting Uncle and Cousin Chen!”

The young lady was getting more and more exasperated the more she talked. “Mom, Dad is not going to treat us well if Uncle is not getting the recognition and trust from grandpa. Look at how well Dad treats Zhou Weiqi! That mutt! He wanted a new car; dad immediately bought one for him!”

Jiang Yao was a little startled hearing that. She looked at a mother and daughter duo chatting beneath a tree. Considering their demeanor and poise, she was sure that it was their conversation she overheard. Were they talking about the Zhou Weiqi she knew?

“Just a wild mutt, he is. Your dad feels guilty, like he owes him something. It’s only a car, what’s good mulling over it? Don’t I give you everything you want? Zhou Weiqi is destined for insignificancy, what else can he do? He is acknowledged by others out of respect for the Liang, Gu and Chen family, do you think he is capable of great things?”

Liang family? Gu family? Chen family?

Jiang Yao was taken by surprise. They were talking about Liang Yueze, Gu Haoyu and Chen Xuyao. That meant that it was Zhou Weiqi they were chastising.

Were they related to him?

Jiang Yao listened to the conversation intently, forgetting about how she was able to listen to a conversation out of normal hearing range.

“You are right, Mom! It’s all a ruse by the Liang brothers; if they really treat him like they say, why is he still working at that irrelevant unit? It’s his fault that he is dumb, naively thinking that people are treating him well.” The girl smiled in disdain. “A sloppy guy like him, why is dad treating him well? He’s not going to do anything!”

A brief pause later, the girl laughed softly, “Mom, Big Brother is going to marry Li Tianxin soon, what about Zhang Lanxiang? She is pregnant with Big Brother’s baby; and this time it’s the truth.”

“You have the nerve to say it! I was deceived previously when Zhang Lanxiang was supposedly pregnant with your Big Brother’s child. That’s why I followed your ideas and had her marry Zhou Weiqi instead. Who knew it was just a lie! What is Zhang Lanxiang scheming again? I am not fooled; I know she wants to marry your brother!”

The conversation was getting very interesting. Jiang Yao was pleasantly surprised; she did chew off more than she could swallow, but it was valuable information, nonetheless.

Mrs. Zhou wanted Zhang Lanxiang, who was having Zhou Weiqi’s brother’s child, to marry Zhou Weiqi.

Why?

Things did not seem to add up.
