Wei Xiao might be a boorish man, but he was also astute and had weathered all sorts of storms. He vaguely felt that Old Chi’s daughter’s goal wasn’t so simple. Her words just now seemed to deliberately dispel Fang Qingyang’s doubts about vampires. He gave Old Chi’s daughter an inscrutable look.
Chi Shuyan felt a little guilty under Uncle Wei’s gaze. They were all on the same side. Chi Shuyan didn’t want to play any tricks, but what if Uncle Wei stopped her if she really told him the truth?
Chi Shuyan simply put on an innocent face and blinked. “Uncle Wei, I didn’t tell Vice Commander Fang not to believe in vampires. He was the one who said that it was rabies. If he doesn’t believe it himself, there’s nothing I can do about it, right? I think even if you directly said the words ‘living dead’ to him just now, he wouldn’t believe it. He might even wonder if my dad brainwashed you! He’ll also treat you as a cultist!”
Wei Xiao’s face stiffened. As if she didn’t see the strange expression on Wei Xiao’s face, Chi Shuyan continued, “Also, Uncle Wei, why are you staring at me? It won’t be good if Aunt Chang misunderstands later and thinks you’re interested in me!”
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Wei Xiao choked and was rendered speechless. He almost couldn’t breathe. Torn between laughter and tears, he hurriedly said to Chi Lingyan, “Old Chi, your daughter is really… I don’t know how to describe this little imp.”
On the side, Wei Ting also choked with laughter. At the same time, he felt that Sister Shuyan’s words made sense. Didn’t Vice Commander Fang like to gauge upright people by his own despicable measure? If the ticket inspector really turned into some living dead and bit him, it would be his own fault.
As for Chi Lingyan, his face was solemn and his eyes were fixed on his daughter. Chi Shuyan could fool Uncle Wei, but she really didn’t have the confidence that she could fool her father. She simply pretended not to see him and spoke to Brother Wei.
The Wei residence wasn’t far from where Chi Lingyan lived. Without needing to think about it, Wei Xiao directly brought them back to his house to eat.
Even though Chi Lingyan had a very good relationship with Old Wei, it wasn’t good for him to bring his daughter to the Wei residence every day to freeload off the family. However, Wei Man suddenly ran down and said, “Dad, Uncle Chi, Big Brother, Little Sister Shuyan, Mom has already cooked. She told you to hurry up and go upstairs to eat.”
Chi Lingyan still wanted to be polite and decline, but Wei Xiao directly spat out, “What do you take our years of brotherhood for? You still have to be so wishy-washy with me about coming to my house for a meal? Old Chi, are you looking down on me?”
Since Old Wei had said that, Chi Lingyan could only give up and take his daughter with him to the Wei residence.
As soon as the Chi father and daughter arrived, Chang Qing welcomed them warmly. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was worried that other people in the military would say that Old Chi was deliberately sucking up to her family, she would have wanted Old Chi and Yan Yan to come to her house to eat every day.
It had to be said that one of the reasons she liked Old Chi and his daughter was because Old Chi had helped the Wei family a lot. If it wasn’t for Old Chi, Old Wei would have died several times before. Chang Qing would never forget this life-saving favor for the rest of her life. To Old Wei, Old Chi was indeed better than a blood brother.
Moreover, Chang Qing trusted Old Chi’s character.
So, that night, Chang Qing cooked a lot of sumptuous dishes for Chi Lingyan and his daughter. While they ate, Changqing picked up food with her chopsticks for Chi Shuyan.
Chi Shuyan was also less restrained and felt closer to the Wei family. “Thank you, Aunt Chang!”
“Yan Yan, eat more. Don’t be polite with us. You can just call me Aunt Wei or Aunt Chang!” Chang Qing smiled.
At that moment, Wei Man suddenly smelled a very rich fragrance coming from the kitchen, which grew increasingly stronger.. It wasn’t repulsive at all, but invigorated him. Wei Man stared with wide eyes and shouted, “Mom, what good stuff did you make? It smells so good? When did you become so good at cooking?”
