I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating-Chapter 51 - Flattered by Wei Zihang

She remembered there was a love triangle in this novel. Lu Bei’s best friend, Wei Zihang, liked the female side character An Yu, but An Yu liked the male lead, Lu Bei. Later, when the female lead appeared, An Yu was unable to accept that the boy she liked had “betrayed” her, and she did many bad things. Every time, Wei Zihang would smooth things over for her and remove the awkwardness.

But even so, An Yu was still resented by Lu Bei. After the two of them became estranged, An Yu finally saw Wei Zihang, who had always been by her side and truly treated her well.

At this point Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that Wei Zihang was finally going to be with his true love. Who would have thought that when the novel ended, An Yu would go abroad to study, while Wei Zihang would stay in the country, causing countless readers to sigh in regret.

Of course, Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t care whether they were together or not. She carefully pondered over the details in the book, but she knew that at this time, Wei Zihang was still admiring An Yu secretly. She had very little to do with Wei Zihang, there was no need for him to ask her for anything. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s brain was working rapidly, so could his strange behavior today be related to An Yu?

She had only talked to An Yu in the car a week ago. Thinking back to An Yu’s behavior that day, could it be that An Yu was scared by her words? Did she think that she would complain to Lu Wanggui and was scared?

Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to laugh and she really did.

Hearing her laugh, Wei Zihang’s heart trembled. He felt inexplicably guilty. He quickly wrote on the last greeting card and hurriedly said, “Aunty, I’m done. I’m going to look for Brother Bei.” Then, he quickly ran away.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was speechless.

Wei Zihang and Lu Bei had been best friends for many years. They were so familiar with each other that he just opened Lu Bei’s door. He was panting as if there was a wolf chasing him from behind. Lu Bei, who was playing games, glanced at him. He took off his headphones and asked calmly, “Are you acting up again?” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Wei Zihang took a deep breath and sat down on Lu Bei’s bed. “You don’t understand.”

Lu Bei sneered. “Tell me, what’s going on?”

His posture was casual. He did not act like he was interrogating him, but he had the air of an interrogator.

Wei Zihang pondered. It was impossible to tell Lu Bei the truth. Even if he blamed himself and said that he was the one who asked Brother Bei’s stepmother not to get pregnant within a year, Lu Bei would not believe it. The two of them had grown up together and knew each other’s personalities too well.

Lu Bei would know without thinking that these words came from An Yu’s mouth.

“It was the day we went to the bar. Uncle Lu wanted to talk to you alone and let your stepmother send me and An Yu home first.” Wei Zihang looked at Lu Bei’s expression, he said half-truthfully, “I drank too much back then and my mind wasn’t very clear. I said some things to your stepmother that I shouldn’t have said. These few days, the more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt. I just wanted to do something to make up for it.” 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

He knocked on his head, looking annoyed. “I don’t know what your stepmother likes either. I just happened to come over today and saw that she was quite tired from writing on greeting cards, so I volunteered to help.”

Lu Bei nodded slightly. “Then, have you finished writing?”

Wei Zihang nodded. “Of course I have.”

Lu Bei remembered hearing the servant’s words during breakfast. He lazily put on his headphones and continued playing games, he said lightly, “I heard that she’s going to send gifts to others later. Aren’t you going with her? Helping her write on greeting cards didn’t seem like a sincere apology.”

Wei Zihang quivered: No way, he still had to continue working for others for free?

However, Lu Bei had already said this. In order to show his sincerity in apologizing, he had to go even if he did not want to!

He nodded his head and said, “Yes, it’s not very sincere. Then, Brother Bei, I’ll go down and help Aunty deliver the gifts.”

After saying that, he dragged his heavy legs and walked out of the room step by step.

The room door closed. Lu Bei, who was originally focused on the game, glanced at the closed door and fell into deep thought. Who was the person who was rude to his stepmother? Wei Zihang did not seem like the kind of person who would have this afterthought.

When Wei Zihang went downstairs, Xiang Xiaoyuan, Nanny Zhang, and the others were packing desserts, greeting cards, and other small gifts into a gift bag. Wei Zihang slowly moved to her side, he scratched his head in embarrassment. “Aunty, I just heard from Brother Bei that you’re going to the residential area to send gifts from door to door. I happen to have nothing to do, so I’ll go with you. I can help you carry your things.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was calm. “Okay, thank you.”

After thinking through the reason why Wei Zihang was so nice to her, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not feel guilty in letting him work.

Wei Zihang carried everything. She walked in front empty-handed, knocking on doors to deliver gifts. The residents in Repulse Bay were very polite. When Xiang Xiaoyuan informed them that her convenience store would soon be open, everyone was excited. Each of them expressed enthusiastically, “Mrs. Lu, your store is finally about to open. Everyone is waiting for that. In the future, the servants in the house will no longer have to travel so far for a bottle of aged vinegar. Your decision to open your store will benefit everyone in the community.”
