Wei Yan held her hand and turned to look at the door. Then, she raised her voice and shouted at Wei Gang, “Dad, Mom says that you’ve been very busy at the factory recently. She’s afraid that she will disturb your rest, so she’s going to sleep at my place. Coincidentally, I’m on break now, so I want to watch over the shop with Mom every morning. We have to wake up early, so we’re afraid of disturbing you.”

“Dad, you’re the backbone of our family now. Of course you have to rest well.”

Wei Yan acted like she was concerned about Wei Gang. When Wei Gang heard her say this, he snorted and said, “At least you have a conscience.” Then, he turned to leave.

In fact, he didn’t care if Li Hai slept with him or not. He didn’t care about that old hag anyway. Li Lin was the prettier one. However, he had gone to warn Li Lin today and told her not to appear in Li Hai’s shop again.

The reason he asked Li Hai to return to their room was to test her and see if she had discovered Li Lin’s relationship with him.

But now that he thought about it, with Li Hai’s intelligence level, it was impossible for her to guess it. Every time Li Lin was mentioned, Li Lin looked very sympathetic.

Wei Gang felt that he was overthinking, so he took a bottle of wine and started drinking. On the table, there were the side dishes that Wei Yan had bought for him in advance. Wei Gang was very satisfied.

It was a pity that Wei Yan was a girl. Otherwise, he would be satisfied with such a considerate child. In that case, why would he need to have an affair? Li Hai could only blame herself for not giving him a son.

As Wei Gang ate the food Wei Yan had prepared, he cursed them. He didn’t feel that cheating was wrong at all and pushed everything to Li Hai and Wei Yan.

The next day, Li Hai woke up early to prepare breakfast for Wei Yan. Then, she realized that Wei Gang had already woken up and was sitting on the sofa watching television. Li Hai was so frightened that her body stiffened and she didn’t dare to look Wei Gang in the eye.

Wei Gang had noticed her coming out and looked at her. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cook.”

“I’ll go right now.” Li Hai hurried into the kitchen, since she was afraid that Wei Gang had realized that something was wrong with her.

Wei Gang felt annoyed when he saw Li Hai’s timid appearance. Was he a cannibalistic beast? Why was she so afraid?

When Wei Yan heard the commotion outside, she was afraid that her mother would suffer, so she walked out. When it was time for breakfast, she said with feigned nonchalance, “Dad, Auntie Lin is really a good person. Yesterday, she brought people from her neighborhood to Mom’s shop again. She even said that she felt that Mom didn’t earn enough money, so she brought customers for Mom. Sigh, although Mom won’t earn much money even so, Auntie Lin is really kind.”

She deliberately mentioned Li Lin in front of Wei Gang.

Yesterday, Wei Gang only returned at nine in the evening. He usually got off work at six, so Wei Yan deduced that he probably went to see Li Lin first and returned home after talking to her. The reason why he wanted to see his mother was to test if she had discovered anything.

She guessed that Wei Gang must have told Li Lin yesterday not to provoke her mother for the time being, but Li Lin had brought Zhou Yu to the shop at noon. Now that she mentioned it again, Wei Gang would feel that Li Lin didn’t take his words to heart.

As expected, Wei Gang’s expression quickly darkened. Wei Yan pretended not to notice and continued to praise Li Lin. “Auntie Lin also said that her son, Wei Mu, has excellent grades and that getting into No.1 High School will be a piece of cake. She also said that it’s good for me to work in the shop with my mother. This way, if I don’t get into a good school, at least I’ll have a job.”

“But Dad, if I don’t get into high school, how embarrassing will it be if word gets out? I don’t like what she said. My grades aren’t bad. Besides, Dad, you’re the director of the factory. You’re an official who has so many people working under you. If I have good grades, they’ll definitely think that you’re very capable as well.”

Even though she knew that her parents would get a divorce sooner or later, she had to make Wei Gang think that it would be good for his reputation if she went to high school.

So what if Wei Mu was his son? Wei Mu’s identity couldn’t be revealed now. No matter how outstanding Wei Mu was, it had nothing to do with him.

Moreover… after Wei Gang divorced her mother in the future, he would realize that the son he was so proud of couldn’t compare to his daughter, who he looked down on. At that time, Wei Gang would regret it.
