Faced with his question, seeing Zhang Wei remain silent.
Li Junfei became even more certain that his guess was correct. The breakup between Qiu Xiaolin and Zhang Wei was related to Qiu Xiaolin's grandfather. Even though Zhang Wei hadn't answered, his demeanor said it all.
Instantly.
To verify his guess, Li Junfei couldn't help but ask again:
"Brother Wei, if you don't speak, I'll take it as your default. Is Xiao Lin's grandfather related to your breakup?"
This time.
Zhang Wei looked up, and finally nodded.
His breakup with Qiu Xiaolin wasn't something shameful, and there was nothing inconvenient about answering.
Feeling the gazes from Li Junfei and his other roommates.
Zhang Wei's eyes showed reminiscence as he slowly began to speak:
"How should I put it."
"Brother Wei, did you kill Xiao Lin's grandfather?" Li Junfei asked.
"It was indeed because of her grandfather that Xiao Mantou broke up with me," Zhang Wei continued.
"Brother Wei, did you kill Xiao Lin's grandfather?" Li Junfei replied.
"It was also because of the breakup that I asked you to remind me about May 6th, regarding her grandfather's matter. I am truly sorry,"
Zhang Wei recalled.
In response.
Li Junfei blinked and replied:
"So, Brother Wei, you did kill Xiao Lin's grandfather?"
"If her grandfather's matter hadn't happened, Xiao Mantou and I probably wouldn't have broken up."
"So, Brother Wei, you really killed Xiao Lin's grandfather?"
As Li Junfei spoke.
Zhang Wei's mouth twitched. He couldn't recall any further and directly grabbed Li Junfei's neck with his arm, laughing and scolding:
"Junfei, I'll fucking kill you! I finally got sentimental, and you're over there with your four consecutive questions."
"Cough, I was just curious."
Li Junfei chuckled with a sly smile:
"So, Brother Wei, did you kill Xiao Lin's grandfather?"
Zhang Wei patted Li Junfei's head:
"Kill your sister! How could I kill Xiao Mantou's grandfather? What are you thinking? Am I that brutal? Besides, why would I kill her grandfather? Her grandfather isn't a ghost."
"Didn't you mislead me, Brother Wei? You said Xiao Lin's grandfather was the reason for your breakup. After thinking about it, only you killing Xiao Lin's grandfather could make Xiao Lin break up with you."
Li Junfei said.
Remembering Zhang Wei's last sentence, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Xiao Lin's grandfather isn't dead? And not a ghost? Then how did you and Xiao Lin break up because of her grandfather?"
"Don't tell me it's some Mary Sue plot."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Wei knew what a Mary Sue plot meant and was curious about what Li Junfei was imagining.
Li Junfei didn't keep him in suspense and stated directly:
"Like, the grandfather is the head of a large family, for example, the founder of a listed group, with wealth beyond compare. Xiao Lin's grandfather found out about you and Xiao Lin dating and thought you were a poor boy, unworthy of being his family's son-in-law."
"Then, Brother Wei, you know, the grandfather mobilized the family's power to suppress and attack you, and Xiao Lin, out of helplessness, had to break up with you."
"This also explains why Brother Wei, you asked me to remind you on May 6th."
"Because that's the grandfather's birthday, the banquet for the head of the large family. It's very important, so every time when congratulating the grandfather on his birthday, you also have to show the grandfather that you love Xiao Lin and hope the grandfather will accept you."
"Of course, what I said is a bit exaggerated, but it should be about right. It means Xiao Lin's family is very rich, the kind that can live in Tomson Riviera."
Li Junfei's words were met with unanimous agreement from the other roommates.
They felt Li Junfei's guess was very reasonable.
How could Zhang Wei not see their expressions?
"Junfei, weren't you and Xiao Lin neighbors when you were kids? If she was rich, how could you be neighbors?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe Xiao Lin wanted to experience the common people's life like us. Aren't Chinese romantic dramas always so cliché? So, Brother Wei, did I guess correctly?" Li Junfei said.
Zhang Wei shook his head and said frankly:
"None of your guesses are correct. Xiao Mantou's grandfather isn't like that."
"Forget it, I'll tell you."
Fearing that Li Junfei would make wild guesses and then blabber carelessly, Zhang Wei revealed the truth:
"The reason Xiao Mantou broke up with me is because I made it so she and her grandfather can never see each other again."
His voice wasn't loud.
But Li Junfei and the others, engrossed in gossip, all heard it clearly and froze in place.
The next moment.
"Ah?" Li Junfei and the others were all stunned.
Then Li Junfei looked at Zhang Wei strangely: "What do you mean, can never see each other again? Damn it! Brother Wei, you still said you didn't kill Xiao Lin's grandfather. You've separated Xiao Lin and her grandfather forever!"
But soon Li Junfei was confused again:
"That's not right either. Brother Wei, didn't you say Xiao Lin's grandfather is still alive? What's going on? If he's alive, why do you say Xiao Lin can't see her grandfather?"
Zhang Wei didn't hide anything:
"Because I made it so her grandfather can't see Xiao Mantou anymore."
"What the hell?"
Li Junfei was stunned for a moment, then his mouth twitched:
"Brother Wei, are you that malicious? You haven't even married Xiao Lin yet, and you're already sowing discord between grandfather and granddaughter!"
"I thought it was Mary Sue, but it turns out Brother Wei, you're reverse Mary Sue. Are you the 'head of the large family'?"
Saying that.
Li Junfei intended to ask for more details.
Even though he knew the reason for Zhang Wei and Qiu Xiaolin's breakup, he still had many questions.
Why did Brother Wei make her grandfather not see Xiao Mantou?
Why would her grandfather listen to Brother Wei and not see his own granddaughter?
These questions made Li Junfei curious.
However.
Zhang Wei interrupted Li Junfei. He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was 8:30 in the morning.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Today is Xiao Mantou's grandfather's birthday. I need to go buy some birthday gifts."
With that.
Zhang Wei took off the tattered clothes he wore while fighting the Ghost King in the hospital, changed into a brand new outfit, and even tidied himself up. He looked like he was meeting his girlfriend's parents and didn't want to be too casual.
His actions.
Li Junfei and the others could all see that he didn't want to give Qiu Xiaolin's grandfather a bad impression.
Just as Zhang Wei finished changing and was about to leave.
Li Junfei snapped back to reality and called out to Zhang Wei:
"Brother Wei, I'll go with you. I'm the best at picking birthday gifts for elders. My family's birthday gifts for my grandparents are all bought by me."
Whether it was Qiu Xiaolin or Zhang Wei, they were both Li Junfei's good friends.
He was too curious about their situation and planned to go see Xiao Lin's grandfather, and ask Zhang Wei along the way.
Zhang Wei didn't refuse:
"Okay, but let's be clear, Junfei, you help me pick a gift, and don't pick expensive ones. Grandpa Qiu doesn't like expensive things. Last year, he reprimanded me quite a bit for buying him valuable gifts."
"Alright, Brother Wei, don't worry. I know the older generation is simple. After all, they lived in a different era than us. They came from wartime and disliked extravagance the most."
Li Junfei grinned:
"By the way, Brother Wei, where does Grandpa Qiu live? It's strange, I'm Xiao Lin's neighbor, but I've never met her grandfather."
Zhang Wei said casually:
"It's normal that you haven't met Grandpa Qiu. Grandpa Qiu has never left his residence. He only moved into a nursing home a few years ago."
"That's true. The older generation is generally attached to their hometown and doesn't like to travel far unless it's a special circumstance. It seems Grandpa Qiu is as simple as my grandparents."
Zhang Wei nodded in agreement and sighed:
"The older generation is like that, so simple that they don't like to throw things away. They think they can repair them or keep them, and they might still be useful. Then they accumulate a pile of useless old things. Not to mention this, I almost forgot. Junfei, don't tell Xiao Mantou that we're going to see Grandpa Qiu."
