Chapter 778: Chapter 764 The Reason

Wei Se’s sudden appearance really startled Xia Yue.

"There was nothing much going on over there, so I just came over to have some fun. As long as my people are okay, I’m fine.

Of all the people, I have the most leisure time, and it’s boring over there, so I came here," Wei Se responded with a smile.

"I see. You just mentioned you wanted to help me test out why my brother has changed into this way, do you have a way?" Xia Yue looked at her expectantly and asked.

"Of course, otherwise why would I say so. But, if I help you find out, can I open a shop here?" Wei Se spoke with a smile, thinking it would be really fun to run a shop and stay here to play. She only needed to go back occasionally to check on her subjects without any problems.

"That’s totally fine." Xia Yue agreed without hesitation, she had thought about opening a Different World themed shop before; the idea was originally for them to open it themselves, bringing goods from that world to sell here. Now that Wei Se wanted to open one herself, that was also acceptable.

"With your word, that’s all I need. Your brother has gone back to rest, right?" Wei Se asked after she agreed, inquiring about her mission target.

"Yes, he seemed very tired, so I let him go rest first, to recuperate before looking for our grandparents," Xia Yue nodded.

"Okay, you just wait, I’ll have your answer in a bit." Wei Se nodded, told her, then left towards the direction Xia Yu had gone.

Watching Wei Se’s departing figure, Xia Yue felt somewhat uncertain, but considering her ability and status, she thought that such a thing should be a minor issue for her, and maybe Wei Se really could figure it out.

Xia Yu returned to his room, placed his suitcase to one side, and went straight into the inner room to rest; he was truly exhausted and frustrated. He had thought he would have trouble sleeping, but it didn’t take long before he fell asleep.

Wei Se appeared inside his room, observing Xia Yu lying on the bed in silence and appreciated the sight for a moment.

"He looks much better than that dogshit Wei thing. Why on earth would Bery like Wei? This one seems quite good," Wei Se muttered to herself.

But she didn’t forget her purpose for coming; having spoken, she formed a hand seal and a beam of light flew into Xia Yu’s brow.

Soon, Wei Se knew what Xia Yu had gone through recently and withdrew her hand.

Thinking that he had helped her, she also gave him a sleeping charm to prevent these troubling thoughts from disturbing him.

Xia Yue was in the Pet House helping the sea otter take care of the pets; the leopard, tiger, and black bear had already left when it was time.

Many people knew that the Resort Area had a special place for pets, so they brought their own pets to play, making it very busy; when the sea otter was too busy to cope, Xia Yue would come and help.

"I’m here." Wei Se appeared in front of Xia Yue, smiling.

"You’ve found out so quickly?" Xia Yue looked at her. It had been less than half an hour since they parted.

"Of course, my intervention never takes long," Wei Se said proudly.

"So what was the reason? There are no tourists here now, tell me," Xia Yue asked eagerly.

Wei Se walked into the front desk area and sat in a chair inside the front desk.

"I started watching him from the moment he returned to you.

After he went back from here, he immediately told his parents that he wanted to resign from his job and come work with you. His parents refused, especially his mom, who fainted several times, but he never changed his mind.

His parents even said they would come here to cause you trouble, thinking you had led him astray. They wanted to deal with you, saying you fed him some love potion or something, and that you’ve always been helping him since he was a child.

Then he brought up your grandparents, saying that if they dared to come and make a scene here, they would definitely be kicked out, or even have their shares taken back. It was only out of fear that they did not dare to come.

It’s really too cowardly. I was actually hoping they would come so they could be taught a lesson. They are truly annoying," Wei Se said, venting a bit, and then continued:

"Your brother later discussed his resignation with his uncle as well. At first, his uncle disagreed, but after your brother shared the uniqueness of this place and the potential to gain an advantage in the future, his uncle agreed to let him resign.

After that, your brother handed over his work to his uncle’s son, but his parents harassed him every day, either threatening him or pressuring him with their status.

And then his sister, Xia Qing, also tried to persuade him, dragging you into it by saying your brother was biased towards you. Your brother tried to explain, but she wouldn’t listen.

Xia Xi seemed to have found out about this and ran back home to talk to them, and only then did they calm down.

And so, Xia Qing started learning your brother’s job along with your uncle’s son, as your parents insisted that someone from your brother’s household must work in the company.

His uncle agreed, so Xia Qing began to take over and learn about the company.

Handing over work is exhausting and requires a lot of patience, especially with his parents occasionally coming to talk at him.

That’s why he looks so gaunt and weary. That’s the whole story, the reason why he is so tired," Wei Se said, looking at her.

"Is that it?"

"That’s it. That’s the whole story," Wei Se nodded, his gaze earnest as he looked at her.

"Indeed, it’s tiring. It’s not just physical exhaustion, I bet it’s more exhausting emotionally," Xia Yue said, now feeling particularly sympathetic towards Xia Yu.

"You mortals are really strange. When you love your children, you truly love them, but when it comes to hurting them, you don’t hold back at all. I don’t get it," Wei Se said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Some parents, you know, they say it’s all because they love their children, that everything they do is for their child’s own good. But sometimes, they don’t ask whether that ’good’ is really what the child wants. In reality, it’s just to satisfy their own desire for control.

Once a child is out of their control, they’ll use the worst methods to make the child scared and compliant, to bring them back under their thumb.

My brother is the child my parents are proudest of. They aren’t very favored by my grandparents, but my brother is one of my grandparents’ favorite grandsons, receiving more company shares than any other grandson, even more than my uncle’s eldest son.

They wanted to gain my grandparents’ approval or something else through my brother.

Now that my brother doesn’t want to be the General Manager, they’re panicking and worried that his actions will anger my grandparents. Because previously, my uncle’s eldest had not followed my grandfather’s wishes to join the family business but started his own company instead, which had angered my grandfather for a long time. They’re afraid my grandfather will permanently lose interest in their family and that they’ll be cut off from the Xia Family’s assets," Xia Yue sighed as she explained the reasons, having grown up in the Xia Family and understanding her foster parents’ mindset quite well.

"It seems like they really dislike you? But you seem to be quite favored by your grandparents. Why don’t they cling to you instead?" Wei Se asked, not understanding.
