1970s Gangster Couple

23

Surprisingly, Wang Wei didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at his mother and smiled, saying, "Sometimes I find it quite miraculous when I look at you. You say we're not a good match, but you're the one who gave birth to me. Isn't God good at playing tricks on people?"

Xiao Xiao had been watching Wang Wei closely, afraid that he might fall into extreme emotions again. She quickly slipped her hand into Wang Wei's, and he, with his long and strong fingers, completely enclosed Xiao Xiao's hand, gently playing with it.

The fact that Wang Wei could calmly state that he was born from Wang Mu surprised the Wang family even more than when he mentioned moving out.

Wang Mu was even more astonished. She looked at Wang Wei's incredibly handsome face and spoke with complexity, "I didn't want to give birth to you more than anyone else." After Wang Wei was born, the rumors and gossip outside almost drove her crazy. Plus, during those years, food was extremely scarce, and even after giving birth, she had to go hungry. Wang Wei, on the other hand, ate a lot. Whenever he desperately sucked on her breast, she would look into his green eyes as if she were witnessing a monster devouring her life...

Wang Wei nodded, "That's true." He used his left hand to completely envelop Xiao Xiao's hands, while his right hand repeatedly stroked the back of her hand, inexplicably emanating a trace of tenderness.

The warmth from Xiao Xiao's hands seemed to spread through his palm and reach deep into his heart. He never dared to imagine that he would have such a calm state of mind when facing Wang Mu.

"Don't worry, I don't want that money. Grandfather took it out to raise me to adulthood, although I didn't let you raise me." He smirked, unable to hold back a hint of mockery, "After all, I spent ten months in your belly. Consider that money as my 'lodging fee'; you didn't lose out by giving birth to me. Once I move out of here, we won't have any relationship anymore."

Wang Mu was infuriated by Wang Wei's sarcasm, and her face turned purple with anger.

Wang Laoda and Wang Lao'er were a bit anxious, "Why would there be no relationship? No matter what, we're still family..."

They couldn't continue speaking because Wang Wei was staring at them with cold, expressionless eyes. "Family? Do you not find it ridiculous to use that term between us? Is it an insult to yourselves or an insult to me?"

Wang Laoda and Wang Lao'er felt ashamed and slowly lowered their heads. When they were younger and didn't understand things, they had done things to Wang Wei. Now, they truly couldn't face him and claim to be family.

Wang Laoda sniffed, "I understand. For what happened before, I... I apologize to you."

Wang Lao'er opened his mouth, "Me too. Youngest, we did some foolish things. I apologize."

Wang Wang Laoda and Wang Lao'er's words didn't cause any ripples for Wang Wei. "No need. I don't need your apologies. Also, I am not your brother. We have no relationship, remember?"

Wang Laoda and Wang Lao'er looked at each other and nodded heavily, "We remember."

Wang Wei stood up with Xiao Xiao, "Let's settle it like this. Once I finish building the house, we'll move out immediately. In the meantime, it's better for everyone not to provoke each other." After saying this, he was about to leave with Xiao Xiao.

"Wait a minute," Wang Laoda suddenly spoke up. "You can't build the house by yourself. How about... me and your second brother help you?"

Wang Fu, who had been silent, suddenly looked up. "Youngest, let your elder and second brothers help you."

Wang Wei didn't even turn his head, "No need. Don't worry. If I don't finish building within two months, I won't stay in the Wang family anymore, even if it means living in a cave. I won't cling on and refuse to leave."
