Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1218: Time Is Running Out (2)

Gu Nuan heard this and said, "When your uncle returns, we will visit the Zhao Family to see your grandmother."

This is exactly what Zhao Mengjin has been hoping for.

"Uncle, he—" Zhao Mengjin asked.

"He was supposed to come home. But upon hearing that everyone was going to the United States, he went directly there to meet us," Gu Nuan said.

Zhao Mengjin didn’t ask further about his uncle’s whereabouts. For the past few years, Dabai’s whereabouts have been extremely mysterious. Those who know the inside story understand what this is all about.

Pearl Island, a world-famous tourist destination, is tinged with a layer of melancholic color due to the famous Pearl Island incident during World War II, in addition to its beautiful scenery.

The beach, the sunshine, the hot summer — it’s the perfect time for a vacation.

Wei Changqing lay motionless in a pit dug in the sand with an umbrella over his head. Don’t think that he’s leisurely enjoying a sunbath; no, everyone knows Wei Changqing is not the type to relax.

For this, Xiaojiu Zang Xiaolian brought over a razor and shaving cream, squatted down, and said to Wei Changqing, "Sixth brother, time to shave." That’s why the pit in the sand and the umbrella were made by Zang Xiaolian.

Wei Changqing seemed not to hear him, his eyes unfocused, gaze fixed on a row of seagulls flying overhead.

Zang Xiaolian slowly got used to his demeanor over the three years since Wei Changqing went to meet with that man, charging passionately to the agreed location, only to find it empty.

He waited there for seven days and nights until Zhan Dapeng brought Zang Xiaolian to get him back, or else he might have starved to death. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The man won’t even allow a meeting, clearly indicating some malicious intent.

Wei Changqing felt his world had been turned upside down. Upon returning, he tried to recover because he heard old five had been back, but upon learning he had returned without meeting anyone from the brothers, his spirits sunk back into despondency.

Then later, hearing Xiaoqi couldn’t be found, didn’t know where he went either.

Zang Xiaolian carefully shaved his chin.

Everyone later thought of letting Zang Xiaolian take care of Wei Changqing because Zang Xiaolian had been brought in by that man. Occasionally Wei Changqing would suddenly think to ask Zang Xiaolian, "You, Xiaojiu, you call that man big brother; you should be closer to him than any of us, shouldn’t you?"

Zang Xiaolian shook his head, "I am an orphan; he found me, said I was part of their family. Then I was taken back to the Zang Family, but after finding out he deceived me, I realized I was not part of the Zang Family at all. Actually, that man doesn’t even have the surname Zang. He isn’t related to that Zang Family. All those ties were just his hired acts to fool me. — Am I foolish, sixth brother?"

"You are foolish, I am no better," Wei Changqing, trapped in his tangled world unable to escape, said, "I did many terrible things for him, every time I think back, I am ashamed to death."

Zang Xiaolian finished shaving him clean and told him something, "Sixth brother, wash your face and put on better clothes. Third brother’s family is having a wedding; second brother said we must be there as his brothers."

Wei Changqing originally didn’t hear his words; as he finished packing his things and was about to leave, Wei Changqing suddenly snapped back to reality, shouting at his retreating figure, "What did you say? Zhan San is getting married?"
