Chapter 38: Wei Zifu

After being yelled at by Tiger Tooth yesterday, Wei Ziqing did not dare to delay any longer and woke up early. When he walked out the door, he saw Su Lingya again, whom he had seen the previous night.

However, Su Lingya did not notice him. She still looked exhausted from traveling, as if she had an endless amount of work to do.

He originally wanted to greet her, but after seeing this, he remained quiet.

It was still early, so he took a leisurely stroll all the way to the company.

Yuewen Literature, the greatest overlord in the world of web novels!

Perhaps for others, working in this place brought a great sense of honor, but for Wei Ziqing, this place was merely a harbor for him to escape from certain facts.

He stood at the entrance and watched for a while, then entered exactly on time. Just as he walked in, he saw a young woman around twenty-three years old, wearing a pink long dress, walking toward him with a look of dissatisfaction.

A pair of high heels made her legs look straight and slender. Her exquisite face, paired with that pink dress, made the girl appear even more youthful and cute.

Seeing the girl approaching with a face full of anger, Wei Ziqing’s expression changed, and he then smiled bitterly.

This girl was none other than his editor-in-chief: Tiger Tooth, Liu Qingyin!

And looking at her expression, she was clearly dissatisfied with him!

“Sister Tiger Tooth…” With a smile on his face, Wei Ziqing hurriedly greeted her before Liu Qingyin could explode.

If he counted the time spent in the Divine Condor World, Wei Ziqing was already twenty-three, but this was reality, and he was still a youth of twenty.

Since Tiger Tooth was twenty-three, and considering the way to address a superior in the workplace, calling her “sister” did not seem awkward!

Liu Qingyin had already decided last night that as soon as Wei Ziqing came to work, she would give him a good scolding, because she hadn’t scolded him enough yesterday!

She was about to open her mouth to yell at him again, but as soon as she heard his greeting, she suddenly felt it was boring. Moreover, since they were at the company, it would not be good to actually scold him!

“Fine, you’re here, so just get to work!”

“Yes!” Wei Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. He had managed to escape one ordeal. Despite Tiger Tooth’s beauty, her personality made Wei Ziqing shiver.

“Wait!” Just as Wei Ziqing turned to leave, Liu Qingyin suddenly called him back. Not only that, she looked Wei Ziqing up and down with curiosity, her eyes filled with intense interest.

“What’s wrong, Tig—” Wei Ziqing turned around in confusion. Just as he was about to ask Liu Qingyin what was happening, he was stunned by what happened next.

He saw Liu Qingyin actually reach out and touch his face. She even pinched his cheek and said with some admiration, “Not bad. After not seeing you for a few days, you’ve become much more mature and cute!”

Puff!

Hearing this, Wei Ziqing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though he was now a Postnatal Expert, he was unable to react in time to this situation!

Once he regained his senses, he took several steps back, his face turning bright red: “Uh, I… I’m going to work!”

He swore that he was frightened. Who would have guessed that Tiger Tooth stopped him just to pinch his cheek!

Damn it, what do you mean by “cute”?

He was a man in his twenties; could the word “cute” be used for him?

Also, he was a man, after all. How could she just touch him like that? That was way too much!

Looking at Wei Ziqing fleeing in panic, Liu Qingyin was stunned for a moment, then she actually burst into laughter: “Haha, he’s actually shy, haha…”

Wei Ziqing, who had already run away, stumbled upon hearing this and walked even faster!

He discovered that even for someone with a mature mind, it was impossible to handle such a female lunatic. It was better to escape quickly!

After greeting a group of colleagues, he dealt with a group of authors who lacked morality—those who begged to “push him down” or wanted to treat him to a “full-body massage.” Thus, time passed quickly.

Just as it was almost time to get off work, Tiger Tooth suddenly sought him out again. Wei Ziqing’s hand trembled in shock, and his expression became quite grim.

“Sister Tiger Tooth, do you need something again?” Wei Ziqing felt bitter in his heart. He wanted to leave but couldn’t, which was truly agonizing!

Tiger Tooth’s beautiful brows furrowed in anger. She was known as the number one beauty of Yuewen; what was this guy’s problem?

Was seeing a lady like her the same as seeing a ghost? Was she that scary?

Despite her dissatisfaction, she curled her lip and said, “I don’t have anything, but you do. Look, someone is looking for you!”

“Looking for me?” Wei Ziqing was stunned. Since he had caused the death of his parents, he had been kicked out of the family.

In a place like Magic City, apart from people he knew through work, no one knew him. Someone was actually looking for him today?

How was that possible?

However, Tiger Tooth did not look like she was joking. He lowered his head in thought as he walked to the company’s guest room.

But when he reached the guest room and saw the visitor clearly, Wei Ziqing’s expression shifted instantly, and he turned around to leave immediately.

It was a woman!

She had neat short hair. Although she sat there quietly, one could still sense a powerful and dominant aura coming from her!

More importantly, the woman’s appearance bore some resemblance to Wei Ziqing!

But Wei Ziqing was too late. The woman had clearly noticed his arrival. She looked up, and when she saw Wei Ziqing turning to leave, a flash of anger appeared between her brows.

“What? Your only skill when something happens is to escape? Now you don’t even recognize me, your sister, right?”

Wei Ziqing, who wanted to leave, froze. A look of helplessness flashed across his face, but he had no choice but to lower his head and say softly to the woman, “Sister, why did you come?”

Wei Zifu, Wei Ziqing’s sister, had originally been studying economic management abroad. But after the incident with Wei Ziqing, she returned to the Wei Family to manage the company.

“Why did I come? Am I not allowed to come? Or is it that you don’t want to see me?” Wei Zifu’s face was full of anger, but as she spoke, her eyes reddened. She took Wei Ziqing’s hand and pulled him to sit on the nearby sofa.

Regarding Wei Ziqing, Wei Zifu both loved and hated him!

The hate was because he was useless. If he hadn’t behaved badly a year ago, partying with others and playing around with women, he wouldn’t have been arrested!

His parents would not have been crushed to death by a truck that ran a red light while trying to bail him out!

But…

Looking at him, who had been fair and clean but had become so mature in just one short year, her heart felt a pang of heartache.

“Come home with me! The matter has passed. It’s useless for you to blame yourself. I will go back and beg the family elders; they might…”

“Sister…” Wei Ziqing’s eyes also reddened slightly, but he shook his head: “You know I can’t go back!”

Wei Zifu was stunned, and her gaze then became dim.

Yes, he couldn’t go back!

If their father were still alive, he could have returned based on his influence in the family!

But now, in their branch of the family, only she remained. Although she managed the company in an orderly fashion, she was ultimately a woman and had no right to speak in important matters!

“Sister, please go back. You know that if they find out you saw me, you will be in trouble!”

“But!” Wei Zifu’s face showed reluctance. She knew what the “trouble” Wei Ziqing mentioned was—it was that group of family elders.

“There are no ‘buts.’ Just go back. I will take good care of myself, don’t worry!” Wei Ziqing gave Wei Zifu a reassuring look.

Wei Zifu wanted to say more, but seeing the persistence in her brother’s eyes, and remembering that she had secretly traveled from Kyoto to this place today, she finally nodded.

“In that case, stay in Magic City for a while. I will find a way to deal with them and bring you back as soon as possible.”

Wei Zifu left, but Wei Ziqing remained in the guest room, lost in thought.

His sister believed that everything was just an accident. But how could she know that this accident was filled with various irregularities?
