Chapter 85: Lucky

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Had it not been for the disappointing behavior of Wei Xiao’s two uncles and their sons, Wei Xiao and his father might not have had the opportunity to stand out and succeed.

Memories from Wei Xiao’s childhood came flooding back, particularly those involving his aunt, cousin, and their condescending attitudes toward him. These experiences left him with complex feelings toward his own mother when he was young.

Wei Xiao had mixed feelings towards his mother. He appreciated her peaceful nature, which was in stark contrast to the arrogant and domineering attitudes of his aunts. However, he also resented that her social status couldn’t benefit him and that he was looked down upon because of it.

Following his mother’s death, Wei Xiao’s father struggled to recover, and as a result, Wei Xiao was sent to live with his grandfather. Despite the difficult circumstances, Wei Xiao saw this as a stroke of luck.

In reality, this turn of events gave Wei Xiao the opportunity to become the successor of the Wei Corporation. Despite not being accompanied by his parents, he had obtained what he wanted most.

As Wei Xiao watched the video of Wen Nian, he saw shadows of his mother in her. Her temperament had the ability to make his heart flutter.

Even though Wei Xiao knew that it was impossible for him to marry someone as impractical as Wen Nian, he didn’t want anyone else to see her unique and somewhat radiant qualities.

After some thought, Wei Xiao called Zhao Cheng to tell him to stop the mission.

At the Wen family’s noodle shop, the Wen couple had been busy since morning, preparing for the new braised food shop they were planning to open.

The couple would go to the wholesale market as early as four or five in the morning to receive the goods. Although they had fixed purchasing stalls, Zhou Mei was worried about letting the suppliers deliver the ingredients directly. So, she personally selected the ingredients every day to ensure their quality.

“Since there weren’t many customers at the noodle restaurant in the morning, the employees worked from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wen Xing and Zhou Mei arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 a.m. to start preparing for breakfast at 7:30 a.m. After finishing breakfast, they started cooking for the customers who had reserved braised food through the fan club.”

Wen Xing was busy with work until noon before he finally had a chance to check his phone. Upon seeing Wei Feng’s missed call, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to return the call.

After the call went through, Wei Feng’s voice came through. “Wen Xing, are you at work?”

Wen Xing subconsciously didn’t want to talk about his family’s business. Moreover, working for his family was also work, so he replied righteously, “Uncle Wei, I am at work, so I didn’t receive your call.”

Wei Feng’s mellow voice sounded again. “It’s fine. I just thought that I haven’t seen you for a while, so I wanted to visit you guys. Is there anything I can help you with recently?”

Ever since they reunited, Wei Feng would occasionally contact Wen Xing to ask about his recent situation because he felt guilty. Hence, Wen Xing did not think too much about this call. ‘Uncle Wei, you’re too polite. We’re doing quite well here. There’s no difficulty.

Wei Feng and Wen Xing exchanged a few more pleasantries. “We can still see each other even if you are not struggling. Your father is my benefactor. With such a relationship, our families should have interacted more.”

After Wei Feng said this, his attitude became more forceful. He asked, “When do you have the day off? I want to come visit you at your house.”

As soon as Wei Feng’s aura emerged, Wen Xing’s calm demeanor dissipated. Considering that there were more people dining during the weekdays, he suggested they meet the following Sunday.

Wen Yu arrived at the noodle restaurant for lunch after finishing his lessons. When he entered the kitchen and saw his mother preparing the dishes, he asked with curiosity, “Mom, aren’t we going to have some noodles for lunch today?”

While Zhou Mei efficiently chopped the vegetables, she answered, “Your sister invited a classmate to our restaurant for dinner tonight. Ask Sister Sun to make you a bowl of braised noodles. After you eat, hurry back to school and rest.”

Sister Sun was a newly hired employee. Previously, Wen Yu felt sorry for his parents, so he would often come to the restaurant on weekends to help out. Zhou Mei also felt sorry for her son, who had to attend extra classes in the afternoons. But now that there were enough staff, she encouraged Wen Yu to return to school after finishing his meal.

Wen Yu had just left when Wen Nian brought Shen Jun to the noodle shop.

It was already past one o’clock, and it was Sunday. There were not many customers in the shop.

Zhou Mei was stir-frying in the kitchen, Sister Sun was disinfecting the washed dishes and utensils, and Wen Xing was organizing the backend data at the cashier.

After Wen Nian entered, she shouted, “Dad!”

Wen Xing smiled and looked up at Wen Nian. “You’re here.”

When Wen Xing saw the outstanding-looking boy behind his daughter, he was stunned for a moment.. Then, he smiled and said, “Wen Nian, is this the classmate who has been tutoring you?”
