Chapter 5

Chapter 5....
The meal ended on an unhappy note, although Chi Wei did not seem to be too bothered by it.
Chi Yun and Qiao Yuechu pushed a room’s door open at the same time. It was their daughter’s room.
Although Chi Wei was lost for many years, they had never given up on finding her. They were also worried that if their daughter did return one day and found out that she did not have her own room, it would make her uncomfortable. Due to that, they had always reserved a separate room for her.
It was spacious and clean.
The decorations were suited for a young girl.
Chi Wei, who had just washed her hair, was sitting on a chair and chatting through messaging on her cell phone.
When Qiao Yuechu put a plate of fruits down, she accidentally saw the eye-catching name of the group chat.
[ Elite Gathering Group ]
‘Is this some kind of role-playing that’s popular among the youngsters nowadays?’
Qiao Yuechu did not mind it too much and handed a slice of watermelon to her daughter.
She wanted to have a conversation regarding what happened earlier.
Children nowadays hide their emotions quite well. What if her daughter was actually hurt?
Even though Qiao Yuechu was trying not to let her imagination run wild, she could not help herself and shed a few tears.
“Weiwei!”
“Mommy knows that you have suffered a lot over these years, but the darkest times have passed. From today onwards, you can even be useless for the rest of your life. Daddy and I will always love you. Your brothers will also protect you!”
The more she talked, the more her voice began to sound rhythmic. It was as if she was reciting a poem.
Even Chi Wei, who had been calm all this while, slowly raised her eyes.
After deliberating for a long time, she said, “… Thank you for comforting me, mom.”
…
Meanwhile, the topic of conversation from the group chat was rapidly changing.
Chi Wei did not notice as she was talking with Qiao Yuechu.
The original academic discussion had turned into a gossiping session instead.
[ Professor Bai: Weiwei, how’s your new home? ]
[ Academician Lin: Oh right. I haven’t congratulated Weiwei on finding her family. How are these people treating you? ]
[ Grandpa Gu: You’ve been doing research with a bunch of old people ever since you were young. You didn’t have the same childhood as an ordinary girl. It’s a pretty good time to reunite with your family. ]
The group was as the name suggested.
It was a small WeChat group where elites from all over gathered. Everyone in that group were well-known individuals. However, most of them who had achieved such status were already middle-aged or old. Chi Wei was the only young girl that brought down the average age of the group.
Everyone looked after Chi Wei as if she was their own child. Since something so big happened in her life, they were naturally concerned.
[ It’s alright. ]
Chi Wei replied.
She glanced at Qiao Yuechu, who was about to cry again.
Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she suddenly received a private message.
[ Rongcheng-Chen Ming: Weiwei! I heard that you moved to Rongcheng? I also heard that the higher-ups took into account that you just found your parents and gave you some time off. Why don’t you consider coming to our school to teach for a few days and see if there are any potential students that can be nurtured? ]
Chi Weiwei paused for a moment and finally recalled this person’s identity.
The principal of Rongcheng’s No. 1 high school.
In the past, they met by chance. Ever since then, he had always wanted Chi Wei to teach in his school.
[ We can talk about it next time. ]
Chi Wei had no other plans during this time period anyway. Going to the No. 1 high school to take a look seemed… feasible?
After replying to the message, Chi Wei did not look at her phone anymore. She did not hear the excited voice message that was just sent by the other party.
“I’ll take it as you’ve agreed!”
