Saving the Tragic Adonis

s disheveled.
She was completely different from the elegant and noble ladies that Jiang Yao usually saw.
This woman was clearly poor and destitute.

“My name is Zhou Juan, and I’m Wei Ximing’s mother,” the woman introduced herself.

Jiang Yao’s breathing came to a stop.
“You… you’re Wei Ximing’s mother?” 

Zhou Juan nodded.
“My phone is broken, and I can’t get in contact with Wei Ximing anymore.
Can you help me get in touch with him?”

Jiang Yao took a step back.
“This… you should try to get in contact with him yourself.”

She already knew about Wei Ximing’s history.
She knew that his parents weren’t anything good, but it was only a vague concept in her mind.
Now that she was faced with a real person, she realized that she couldn’t accept it.

She couldn’t accept that her boyfriend’s biological mother was such a disgusting, sloppy, and pathetic person. 

“Aren’t you his girlfriend?” Zhou Juan’s words came raining down.
“There’s a marriage agreement between the two of you! You guys have already slept with each other! You’re my daughter-in-law!”

Jiang Yao hadn’t expected her to say such a thing.
She was caught entirely off guard, and her face turned red.
“Enough nonsense! Wei Ximing and I have done nothing of the sort!”

She looked around, afraid that someone might’ve heard them.

Zhou Juan didn’t quite understand.
“But the two of you have a marriage agreement.
This means you’re his woman! Wei Ximing doesn’t want to accept me as his mother, so you need to contact him for me! Either that or you give me money!” 

Jiang Yao was completely dumbfounded.
“Why should I give you money?”

“Because you’re his girlfriend and your family is rich.”

 

Zhou Juan anxiously stepped forward and said, “If you don’t give me money, I will go to court to sue you! I will sue you for elderly neglect!”

Her crazed appearance almost made Jiang Yao cry. 

Her driver walked over and stood in front of Jiang Yao.
His expression was dark and gloomy.
He said to Zhou Juan, “Ma’am, if you keep harassing her, I will call the police.”

Zhou Juan stared him down.
“Fine! Call the police! Let’s see who the police are going to arrest! Are they going to arrest me or are they going to arrest you two ungrateful pricks?!”

“Rich people sure are cruel! They have all that money! If they spared me even a little bit, I would be able to live a good life, but they won’t even give me a cent! You’re stingy! Shameless! Rich people are all horrible people!”

Zhou Juan started causing a scene. 

After Liu Hong brought Zhou Juan to her apartment, Zhou Juan’s cell phone accidentally broke.
Then, she anxiously headed to the school to find Wei Ximing.

She wanted to drag everyone down! She was going to make it everyone’s problem!

Liu Hong took her in for two days.
Then, she suddenly ended her lease and left the capital, leaving Zhou Juan homeless once again.

She was in desperate straits, and Wei Ximing was her last resort. 

She couldn’t understand.
Wei Ximing had so much money.
What was the big deal about giving her a million yuan or even ten million yuan? Why wouldn’t he give it to her?

How hateful!

Zhou Juan’s eyes were bloodshot.
She reached out to grab Jiang Yao.
“Tell me where Wei Ximing is!”

Jiang Yao screamed and backed away.
Tears of fear welled up in her eyes. 

Zhou Juan’s demeanor was incredibly terrifying.
She couldn’t help but think about the news reports online.
Zhou Juan’s husband, Yin Qiang, was a domestic abuser and murderer.
To this very day, he was still in prison.

Could there also be something wrong with Zhou Juan?

This crazy and vicious person was actually Wei Ximing’s birth parents!

Jiang Yao felt as if her heart was being torn apart. 

When she thought of all the disgusting things Wei Ximing had done before, the love in her heart finally dried up.

“I broke up with Wei Ximing! Don’t look for me!”

Jiang Yao loudly announced her breakup.
Then, she ran into the school with her skirt in hand.

Originally, she wanted to see Wei Ximing.
She wanted to see what he had to say, but, now, she didn’t want to see him at all. 

“Miss Jiang! Don’t go!” Zhou Juan shouted.

Jiang Yao ran as fast as she could.

The Wei family.

The butler quickly contacted the servant and found that he had actually bought a house in Beijing. 

When he resigned from the Wei family, he was just an ordinary servant.
How did he manage to buy a house in Beijing, a place where housing prices were sky-high? That was already suspicious enough on its own.

The servant was a coward.
After the butler interrogated him for a bit, he quickly started crying and begging.
“Please let me go! I really didn’t know anything! At first, Young Master Ximing only asked me to distract the nurse.
He didn’t tell me about anything else.
Later, I found out that something had happened to the old lady.
If I had known the truth, I would have never listened to him!”

When they heard the voice on the phone, all of the people in the room became serious.

Wei Ximing fell into a chair.
The nurse breathed a sigh of relief. 

The person who asked her to come here was simply a genius! Everything went according to that person’s plan!

Li Yongna turned her head to look at Wei Ximing.
She gave him a long and hard stare.
Then, she slowly said, “I see.”

“When Mingzheng came home that day, I thought that he was narrow-minded and uneducated.
I didn’t like him.
I was partial towards you.
However, I’m now starting to find that you’re the one who is narrow-minded, you’re the one who is full of tricks, and you’re the one who tried to harm your brother!”

The more Li Yongna spoke, the angrier she became.
She suddenly started coughing, clearly upset. 

“Mom!” Madam Wei quickly stepped forward to support her.

“Grandma!” Wei Ximing was anxious.

“Don’t call me Grandma.” Li Yongna waved her hand and snapped back at him.

Wei Ximing was stunned. 

Li Yongna said, “From this day forward, you are no longer my grandson, and you don’t need to call me grandma.”

She raised her head and said to Madam Wei, “Remove his name from our household register right away.
Transfer him back to where he should be.
As for everything else, we’ll discuss after transferring his name elsewhere.”

 

“Grandma!” Wei Ximing stood up from the chair with tears in his eyes.

Li Yongna looked very grave.
She didn’t look at him again.
“Tell Shanhe and Yuanning about what happened here today.” 

The butler expressed that he would and left the room.
He went to report everything that happened today to Wei Shanhe and Wei Yuanning.

Li Yongna turned to the nurse and said, “We’ve wronged you.
Don’t worry.
We will help you clear your name, as well as compensate you.”

The nurse’s eyes instantly welled up.
A year’s worth of grievances were finally washed away.

This was great! 

Wei Ximing already had a bit of a premonition that this would happen when the nurse first showed up, so he was actually rather calm right now.
He was extremely regretful.
Why did he target Wei Mingzheng so obsessively in the first place?

Why didn’t he just come clean when Zhou Juan had first come to find him?

If he had been truthful from the beginning, he still wouldn’t have been treated badly, even if they didn’t accept him.

It was his greed, his inferiority, his fear that made him think that he could take a gamble, that he could cover it up, that no one would ever know. 

Wei Ximing regretted immensely, but it was already too late.

Ring…

His phone started ringing.

Wei Ximing was in a daze.
He did not respond. 

Madam Wei frowned and reminded him, “Wei Ximing, your phone.”

Wei Ximing regained his senses and mechanically pulled out his phone.
A single word showed up on the screen—Baby.

Jiang Yao’s phone number.

Wei Ximing was suddenly incredibly frightened.
He was too afraid to answer the phone. 

The cell phone kept ringing.

Li Yongna said coldly, “Answer it.”

 

Wei Ximing’s eyes suddenly turned red.
He gritted his teeth and picked up the phone.
Then, he said in a trembling voice, “Yao Yao.”

At this moment, he still had a sliver of hope that Jiang Yao would stay with him.
He hoped that she would be like the female lead in the drama, Mother’s Life.
He hoped she would be a female lead who worked hard, never complained, and stayed by the male lead’s side forever. 

Jiang Yao’s voice rang out from the phone.
“Wei Ximing, let’s break up.
I want to void the marriage agreement.”

He ended up being disappointed.

His very last hope was shattered just like that.
Wei Ximing’s eyes were dark, and his head was dizzy.
It was as if someone had punched him in the stomach.

“Yao Yao, listen to me…” 

“Your mother came to school to look for you.
She saw me.
She humiliated me.
She asked me to give her money.” Jiang Yao’s voice contained a bit of a sob.
“Wei Ximing, I have never in my entire life been humiliated like that.
Your mother was the first.”

“The reason she stopped me was because you had abandoned her.
You refused to support her anymore, so she became desperate.
Wei Ximing, I had no idea that you were such a vicious and sinister person.
I really was blind to have liked you!”

It was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Zhou Juan? 

Zhou Juan actually harassed Jiang Yao?

He felt like he was going crazy.

Jiang Yao said, “From now on, we’ll each walk separate paths.
We won’t have anything to do with each other anymore!”

After that, Jiang Yao hung up the phone with all her might.
She didn’t give Wei Ximing a chance to defend himself. 

Wei Ximing gripped his phone, his entire body trembling.

Zhou Juan!

It was Zhou Juan again!

It was her who switched the children, it was her who abused the Wei Mingzheng, it was her who blackmailed him, it was her who humiliated Jiang Yao… 

Everything was all because of her!

“You can go now.” Li Yongna shook her head.

 

Even Jiang Yao had abandoned Wei Ximing.
He was truly useless.

Wei Ximing’s eyes were bloodshot. 

Madam Wei looked at Wei Ximing’s dejected appearance.
Slowly, her anger started to subside, and all that was left was sorrow.
She couldn’t bear to look at him any more.
She feared that she would grow weak-hearted, so she turned and left the room.

After exiting the room, Madam Wei hurriedly called Wei Mingzheng.

As she stared at the name on the screen, Madam Wei’s heartbeat picked up speed.

It had been a long time since she had felt so tense.
She felt like a subordinate reporting back to her superiors. 

After a little while, the call went through.

Madam Wei anxiously raised her phone to her ear and asked, “Mingzheng, when will you be back?”

“Madam Wei.”

Madam Wei’s eyes were slightly red.
“Call me Mom.
Mingzheng, I’ve cut ties with Wei Ximing.
Tomorrow, I’ll be transferring his household register.
I explained this to your grandmother, and your grandmother agreed.” 

There was a moment of silence.
“You’re okay with it?”

Madam Wei took a deep breath.
She quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said firmly, “Of course I’m okay with it.”

“Mom, thank you for choosing me.” A laugh came through the phone.

Madam Wei listened to the sweet sound of laughter, and her heart seemed to soar like a bird.
She was very happy.
“What are you saying? Of course I would choose you!” 

“Ah, that’s right.” Wei Mingzheng said slowly, “Since Wei Ximing is no longer a member of the Wei family, the things that the Wei family gave to him should be returned.”

Madam Wei blanked.
Then, she nodded.
“You’re right! All those things should be returned!”

After a pause, Madam Wei asked anxiously, “Mingzheng, when will you be back?”

“In two days.” Wei Mingzheng assured her, “You chose me, so I will definitely come back.” 

When Madam Wei heard this, she broke into a smile.

When the servants saw Madam Wei crying and laughing at the same time, they couldn’t help but give each other a look.
Due to Madam Wei’s attitude toward Wei Mingzheng, it seemed that Wei Mingzheng was in control of their relationship.
It felt as though Wei Mingzheng was leading Madam Wei by the nose.

 

Once Madam Wei got his guarantee, she put away her phone and stepped back into Li Yongna’s room.
She said to Wei Ximing, “By the way, you’re no longer a member of the family.
Everything that we gave you must be returned.
If I recall correctly, you should have several properties, two cars, and a couple of credit cards in your possession.”

Wei Ximing’s face changed drastically. 

He thought that he had already reached rock bottom.
He didn’t know that there were still eighteen levels of hell!

Madam Wei frowned when she saw his panicked expression.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to pay it back?”

“No, no…” Wei Ximing said with difficulty.

Li Yongna’s eyes revealed her suspicion.
“In that case, quickly count your assets.” 

Wei Ximing slumped to the ground.

His reaction made everyone realize that Wei Ximing might have already moved his assets.
The very reason he ended up in the family was for the sake of assets.
After finding out about his true identity, he definitely would have transferred his assets elsewhere.
