Chapter 43

At around half past six, Zhuang Hui took her two children back home. When she saw Wei Peng, Zhuang Hui didn't say anything and sat directly at the dining table. At the same time, she arranged for Xiaowen to call her grandfather out for dinner.

My father-in-law seemed to see the itchy spot when he read the book. He ate very quickly for dinner. He only casually chatted with his family with a few irrelevant words. After eating, he rushed back to his room and picked up the book.

After he left, the atmosphere on the dining table was much more relaxed. Cui Ying began to make Xiaowen happy and asked about the situation in Xiaowen's school.

Or see Xiaowen talking about school experience

Wei Peng took this opportunity to ask about Wei Yu's condition at school

After all, as a father, you still need to show care for your children for a certain period of time.

Wei Yu saw Wei Peng asking, and at first he felt that there was nothing to tell, but after thinking about it, he still said something that could barely be counted as a major event in his class.

My deskmate may be transferring to school

Oh... what is your deskmate Ah, boy? girl? What is your name?

Of course Wei Peng knew that Wei Yu's deskmate was Wang Yi, but he had to pretend to be stupid at this moment.

Male, called Wang Yi... By the way, Dad, I remember one time you drove to pick me up. I should have seen him once at the school gate.

Wei Yu's memory is very good

Is that true? I don't remember...Haha

Wei Peng smiled and said haha

Then he was sarcastic by Zhuang Hui: Are you a father like this? After Xiaoyu's high school, you basically ignored it. Even Xiaoyu's deskmate is a man and a woman, so he has the nerve to ask this and that

When I go to high school, I am a big child, and I am a man... Why do I need my father to ask about anything?

Wei Peng laughed haha, then reached out and stroked Wei Yu's head casually. Wei Yu just lowered his head, maintaining the image of a taciturn child.

As for whether the deskmate is a man or a woman, I really don’t know! But I remember when I was in high school, the teachers arranged seats with men and women. I still remember the girl in my high school deskmate, who was as fat as a pig. During class, she still drew a 38th line in the middle of the table... I was forbidden to cross the border because I had a fight with me. According to the current saying, it was an authentic tomboy Ah!

Dad, did you win Ah?

When Xiaowen heard this, she immediately asked.

No matter how fat she is, she is still a woman. Do you think her father will really do it?

Wei Peng blinked at his daughter, with a teasing expression on his face

Hehe... Dad, you must have been beaten by your female classmate! Do you know? A man beats a woman, and if he wins, he will be a beast. If he loses, he will be a beast...

Xiaowen giggled while talking

Hey, what are you talking about in this girl? What are you teaching in school now?

Cui Ying couldn't help but smile, but she had to show the attitude that her grandmother should do to educate her children.

Mom, don’t mention Xiaowen, children nowadays are all smart! No, like when we didn’t know anything, we just knew that we were playing with mud, Xiaoyu, your deskmate, by the way, Wang Yi, why did he suddenly think about transferring to Ah?

Wei Peng said that and then moved the topic back to Wei Yu.

Tell, why do you care about so much? There must be other people’s reasons for transferring schools... You are still in a vain!

Before Wei Yu could speak, Zhuang Hui took over the conversation and choked Wei Peng's face.

Wei Peng naturally knew that Zhuang Hui's attitude was to take revenge on what happened last night. He did not know anything like Zhuang Hui, but looked at Wei Yu with interest, waiting for Wei Yu's reply.

No, I don't know, I didn't say the reason, I just said that it was decided by his mother

Wei Yu noticed Wei Peng's gaze and replied in a low voice

Oh, from your tone, have you seen his mother?

Wei Peng smiled and tried

Well... I've seen it a few times

Wei Yu's face changed a little, but he still lowered his head and replied timidly

Wei Peng nodded and glanced at Zhuang Hui from the corner of his eyes. As Wei Peng expected, when Wei Peng mentioned Wang Yi's mother, an unnatural expression immediately appeared on Zhuang Hui's face.

Fortunately, Wei Peng did not intend to make any changes in today's dinner, so he tried it a little and ended there.

After dinner, Cui Ying and Zhuang Hui packed the tableware, and Wei Peng urged the two children to do their homework.

After packing up, Wei Peng was about to say goodbye to his parents-in-law and take Zhuang Hui home, but Zhuang Hui made the request that she wanted to live in her parents' home at night.

It's okay to live, but how do you sleep in Ah?

Cui Ying couldn't help asking

Xiaowen and I just slept in the same room. Do you want to sleep with your mother?

As Zhuang Hui said, she held Xiaowen in her arms. After receiving Xiaowen's crisp and positive answer, Wei Peng could only shake his head and leave his father-in-law's residence alone.

After driving away from the community parking lot, looking at the light coming out of the window of my father-in-law's residence, Wei Peng suddenly felt a sense of extreme guilt. He didn't know how he had such a strong desire when he got off work in the afternoon. He actually made those requests to Cui Ying under his father-in-law's nose. At this moment, he felt a little scared.

Although Cui Ying finally met his needs, what if Cui Ying refused firmly at that time? Wei Peng suspected that he might even have been forced to do anything...

That's right... Yingying said it's right. Although today's situation is very exciting, there must be no next time...

Wei Peng muttered

When Wei Peng came to his senses, he actually found that he had driven the wrong way home. After observing the surrounding buildings, Wei Peng realized that he had actually driven to the vicinity of Ci'en Hall.

Wei Peng originally planned to adjust the route and return home directly, but a trace of inexplicable throbbing suddenly surged in his heart. Under the guidance of some unknown idea, Wei Peng couldn't help but park the car near Ci'en Hall and walked to the gate of Ci'en Hall.

The church door is closed, only a small door on the side is open

When Wei Peng was hesitating whether he should enter, he saw a group of believers walking out of the small gate one after another. Father Thunder followed behind. As soon as he went out, he saw Wei Peng wandering on the steps outside the church. He immediately greeted him happily as if he had seen the Messiah.

Lawyer Wei, I am planning to talk to you tomorrow, but I didn’t expect that I would meet you now. This must be the guidance of Jehovah…

Father Thunder’s headless words made Wei Peng a little puzzled: Father Thunder, what do you mean? What guidance? I just happened to pass by here...

Haha, the Lord is everywhere! You can appear here, which is the proof of His omnipotence!

Father Lei seemed afraid that Wei Peng would leave and directly reached out to hold Wei Peng's arm

On the phone? Are you asking me for something?

Wei Peng remembered Father Lei’s first words before and reacted

You are right, something really happened to me. I originally wanted to contact your office tomorrow during the day, but now you have appeared before me directly. This is definitely the will of the Lord haha...

Father Thunder was completely immersed in the joy of God's glory at this moment, and actually laughed out loud

The bullshit Jehovah

Wei Peng cursed in his heart, but asked: Hasn’t the choir matter been resolved? What else can you encounter in this church need to contact our office Ah?

Father Thunder did not answer, pulled Wei Peng to the side of the church gate, lowered his voice and said: It's not about the choir, but about the boy you happened to mention last time you came!

Wei Peng was stunned and immediately became worried: What's wrong with that child?

While asking, Wei Peng was wondering in his heart that Wei Yu was not doing well at his father-in-law's house now, and it was less than half an hour after he left him after dinner.

The child is fine, but someone came to our Ci'en Hall for the sake of this child and said he wanted to donate to us. Do you know how much you donate? As soon as you open your mouth, you will get 500,000 Ah...

Father Lei's expression was exaggerated at this moment. While speaking, he reached out and opened his five fingers to Wei Peng!

Five hundred thousand?

Wei Peng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. He didn't have to guess, and realized that it was something that Shangguan Liping did.

No matter what this woman does, the first thing she does is to make money...

This is a good thing... I guess your church usually accepts no amount of donations this year!

After thinking about this clearly, Wei Peng then became perfunctory. Shangguan Liping donated money to Ci'entang, which really had nothing to do with him.

But the key point is that the donor has set up a condition, which is to let us priests pay attention to the movements of a boy at any time, and then gave us a photo of the church. When I looked at the photo, it turned out that the one we talked about last time you came and we talked about... Are you wondering if this matter is strange!

Father Thunder deliberately showed a strange expression

Regarding Father Lei’s mysterious behavior at this moment, Wei Peng rolled his eyes: Is this matter related to all our affairs? You can do it yourself. If you think their conditions are acceptable, you will receive the payment. If you can’t accept it, you will just refuse.

This is not a question of whether to accept it or not. I think this matter is too coincidental! You came in the first few days, and as we talked about the boy, a few days later, someone actually ran to us to watch the child's attention! This child is probably of some background...

At this time, Father Lei completely changed his identity, as if he had become a meticulous private detective, and began to infer Wei Yu's identity origin.

Yes, Yes, Yes, the key to saying so much is that do you want to collect other people’s donations? If you want to collect them, you can do as much as others will! If you think you can’t do it, you can return the money to others as soon as possible.

Wei Peng really didn't want to do any reasoning with Father Lei at this moment. He found a gap and quickly interrupted and pointed out the key to the matter!

Hearing Wei Peng say this, Father Lei blinked and answered honestly: I want to accept it... But everyone is worried about what trouble it will cause! So, I am considering calling you tomorrow...

Isn't this the end?

Wei Peng spread his hands and explained: The other party just asked you to help me pay attention to the child's situation. The child doesn't come often. You said last time that it only came once a month. I guess the other party's intention is to ask you to say hello to the child when he comes to church. Of course, if the other party's purpose is to kidnap the child, it's a different matter...

Kidnapping? Oh my God! How could this be, how could such an elegant lady be a robber...

Father Lei heard Wei Peng pulling the kidnapping and quickly drew a cross on his chest.

Elegant lady? Are you talking about the donation from the church?

Wei Peng was a little surprised and couldn't help asking

Isn't it? Which lady is praying in the church now!

Father Lei opened his eyes wide and looked at Wei Peng. Wei Peng's surprise at the gender of the donor made him unable to understand...

As soon as Wei Peng entered the church's preaching hall, he saw Shangguan Liping sitting alone in a seat in the third row, with her hands naturally placed on the handrail of the seat, lowered her head and closed her eyes and praying for something, and then walked over silently.

Two men in suits and tie sat in the last row in the preaching hall. When they saw someone approaching Shangguan Liping, they immediately stood up alertly, but after seeing Wei Peng's appearance, they sat down at the same time.

The last time Wei Peng met Shangguan Liping, the two of them were also at the scene. After recognizing Wei Peng, they gave up the idea of ​​going forward to stop them.

He has a very pious attitude. Do you believe in God?

Wei Peng stood beside Shangguan Liping and said lightly

For some reason, as long as Wei Peng met Shangguan Liping, he felt a little competitive. Although he had no malice towards this woman in his heart, he could not help but hold a gun and a stick in his words.

I have believed since I was a child, not only I believe it, but my mother actually believed it too! But we believe in Protestantism, and it is actually the first time I have come in the Catholic church...

The solemn and dignified environment of the church seemed to purify Shangguan Liping's mood. Although Wei Peng's words were full of provocation, Shangguan Liping did not retort like usual.

Haha... Don't you think it's ridiculous for Protestants to pray and confess in Catholic churches? By the way, I remember that your mother is also an old cadre at the department level! A old Communist Party member who actually believes in Christianity in private. Don't you think it's ironic?

Wei Peng said, and sat down on the side of Shangguan Liping's seat across from

So what? You are such a smart person. Do you really think that those guys who speak Marxism-Leninism above are really pure Bolsheviks? Don’t they all say one thing and do the other! I just haven’t gone to the career path. I want to go to the career path, so I also speak up my party spirit and keep my principles in my mouth! But it’s because of this reason that I chose the path of business. I’m too thin-skinned and can’t stand those messy things...

Shangguan Liping seemed to care about Wei Peng's sarcasm and responded lightly.

Wei Peng was stunned when he heard this, as if he had met Shangguan Liping for the first time

The soft lights of the church reflected Shangguan Liping's delicate facial features, and a nearly saint-like image appeared in Wei Peng's mind.

This made Wei Peng unacceptable. Wei Peng tried hard to drive this image out of his mind, so he asked provocatively: What about your brother? Does he also believe in Christ?

He doesn't believe it, he is just a playboy. If he really has any faith, his belief may be a woman...

Wei Peng felt that his heavy punch seemed to hit the cotton ball, and Shangguan Liping's words easily resolved Wei Peng's provocation.

You are his sister Ah... you actually say that to your younger brother

That's true, let alone you, my sister has always been unsatisfied with what he did! But what can I do? My father is hypocritical and my younger brother is vulgar... But I was born in such a family, but the world is impermanent, and they all end up suffering misfortunes... All I can do is pray for them in the church, hoping that my prayer can repay some of their sins!

Shangguan Liping turned her face and looked at Wei Peng calmly

Tsk... You are like this now, but it doesn't fit your identity as a strong woman in the business world!

Wei Peng made a last teasing

Strong woman in the business world? Thank you... This may be the most pertinent evaluation I have ever heard. Many people mentioned me first, saying that I am XX's daughter... You didn't mention my father, at least it recognized my own efforts

Shangguan Liping smiled and continued: I watched the promotional video of this church in the afternoon and found Xiaoyu several times. On this issue, you didn't deceive me, thank you

Do you really plan to meet him in the church?

Wei Peng leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at the crucifix in the middle of the front, as if asking casually

That's right, do you know? What am I most afraid of? I am most afraid of Xiaoyu going on the same path as my younger brother. Now I know that he is interested in Catholicism. You don't know, how relieved I am! You must know that people have faith, so they are afraid of me who believe in Jesus Christ. I am afraid of God's punishment. You are an atheist, but I know that you also have faith, but I believe in religion, while you believe in law! You are as afraid as me, and you are afraid of the majesty of the law! As long as you know how to be afraid, it is not easy to make mistakes, and life is easy to go on the right path...

Shangguan Liping explained calmly

Humph...is that's true?

Wei Peng sneered, ruthlessly mocking Shangguan Liping's ideal theory deep in his heart

He thought maliciously, if Shangguan Liping knew what Wei Yu had done, could she still look forward to the bright future of her nephew as she is now.

Wei Peng, every time I meet you, I have a dispute, but in fact I am very grateful to you. If other men meet Zhuang Hui, I doubt whether there is anyone who can do better than you. For more than ten years, you have done your best to Xiaoyu and never looked at it differently. Now, you are willing to give me the opportunity to approach Xiaoyu. Although it is a bit disrespectful to talk about this in front of God, I still think what should I compensate you? What do you think?

No, have you arranged a commissioned work for my firm

Wei Peng hates the current atmosphere for some reason. In contrast, he is more willing to argue with Shangguan Liping like in the past.

What kind of compensation is that? Of course, if you think it is compensation, I have no objection.

Shangguan Liping felt Wei Peng's impatientness, but she didn't care: I just wanted to tell you that if you encounter any trouble in the future, I think my Shangguan Group Company can help you. Even if I call me directly, I will do my best to help you. You should be very clear that although my father fell, there are few things in this country that I can't do!

Is that right? Do you want me to accept your friendship next? Ms. Don Clioney?

Listening to Shangguan Liping's words, Wei Peng could hardly help but think of Godfather

If you think I'm such a person, I don't intend to deny it.

Shangguan Liping did not feel that it was an insult to her when she heard Wei Peng mention her godfather.

Then, I have a small request now. I wonder if Chairman Shangguan can do it?

Hearing that the other party was so confident, Wei Peng couldn't help but feel a prank.

Is there a request so soon? Please tell me?

Shangguan Liping looked at Wei Peng with great interest

Do you know the portrait on Tiananmen Square? Can you please change it to my father’s portrait?

Wei Peng said, and couldn't help but show a ridiculous expression.

But unexpectedly, Shangguan Liping replied immediately with a serious expression: Yes, no problem!

Hearing the other party's answer, Wei Peng was stunned: Are you sure you were not kidding? Can you really do it?

Of course, it's just that I need you to hand over your household registration book and related background certificates to me...

Shangguan Liping's eyes were flashing with cunning eyes at this moment

Household registration book? Certificate of origin? What do you want to do?

Wei Peng opened his eyes wide and looked at Shangguan Liping blankly.

If you want to make things difficult, I will say it clearly... I definitely can't change the portrait on Tiananmen Square, but it is not difficult to spend money to change your household registration to Shaoshan, Hunan. It is not difficult to change your direct blood relationship to the person in the portrait! Of course, the premise is that you have nothing to do and have nothing to do with Zhang Yang in front of others, showing off with the modified household registration book and background certificate! Also, you are really willing to recognize the person in the portrait as your father...

Shangguan Liping said, and reached out to cover her mouth and laughed.

Looking at Shangguan Liping who was trembling in front of her, Wei Peng collapsed on the seat like a deflated ball, muttering: Is this OK?
