Chapter 1917: Too Many Gifts Are Also a Kind of Trouble

Wei Mama took a deep breath, then waved her hand with some irritation and said, "No need, no need, go prepare some food!"

The servant acknowledged this and left.

Wei Mama, meanwhile, furrowed her brows as she looked at Wei Yangyang.

This made Wei Yangyang a little afraid, and she asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Every time Wei Yangyang revealed this pitiful little look, Wei Mama would involuntarily soften her heart.

At this moment, Wei Mama's heart softened.

Especially when thinking about how her daughter had just experienced a brush with death...

Why be so harsh on her?

Let her do whatever makes her happy!

Wei Mama finished comforting herself, then sighed and said, "It's nothing, chat well with Tiantian; if you need anything, just tell Mom."

"Got it, Mom, you're the best!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Wei Mama's face.

She shook her head again and turned to walk out of the bedroom.

Once she left, Wei Yangyang leaned back against the sofa and let out a long breath.

Wei Yangyang felt so mentally exhausted.

She felt she should contact Li Xingyan and tell him to stop sending things.

This was completely providing material for her mom, who was so good at letting her imagination run wild!

While Wei Yangyang was feeling melancholy, Jiang Motian pushed the door open and walked in.

She tilted her head to look at Wei Yangyang, who was sprawled on the sofa, and laughed, "Why so listless?"

"It's nothing, come quickly, sit here!"

Wei Yangyang forced herself to perk up and looked at her friend with a smile.

Although there was still a sense of fatigue in Wei Yangyang's body.

But after chatting about gossip with her good friend for a while, there was only excitement in her body!

Sigh, sure enough, chatting about gossip can cure unhappiness!

Wei Yangyang ate a jelly and asked with a look of surprise, "So, in the end, all the assets were taken away by the mistress?"

"Yeah, the scumbag's company went bankrupt, and the wife started a new life with the kids."

"That's so satisfying!"

"Isn't it? I heard the scumbag wants to win back his ex-wife."

"She absolutely must not agree! Otherwise, it's just returning to the fire pit!"

"She probably won't; that lady has already learned her lesson, otherwise she wouldn't have shed her identity as a full-time mom and gone back out to work."

What Jiang Motian was talking about now was a dramatic story within a wealthy family.

The ex-wife in the story had once bought one of Jiang Motian's paintings, so the two had met.

In Jiang Motian's impression, this lady had a gentle temperament and was kind to others.

But seeing her again recently, she found that not only had she cut her hair short, but she was also dressed like a career woman.

Only after asking around did she learn the dramatic story behind it.

This story was no longer a secret in their circle.

The ending was indeed very satisfying.

Jiang Motian also told it with great gusto.

However...

Jiang Motian's gaze drifted, and in the room, she saw a familiar-looking box.

She looked closely, tilted her head, and said, "This, it looks a bit familiar."

Wei Yangyang followed Jiang Motian's gaze to look over.

Then she restrained her relaxed expression a bit and replied, "Your brother sent it."

"No wonder it looks familiar... Sigh, he's a person who doesn't know how to give gifts; if you receive anything strange, don't be too surprised."

Surprised wasn't quite the word; it was just a bit overwhelming.

Wei Yangyang thought this and sighed helplessly.

Hearing the sigh, Jiang Motian asked nervously, "You didn't really receive any weird gifts, did you?"

"Not really, most of what your brother sends, I quite like, but..."

Wei Yangyang turned her head to look at Jiang Motian, very puzzled: "Why does he always send me things?"

"That, you'd have to ask my brother; who knows what he's thinking."

Jiang Motian felt a bit guilty.

When she said this, she didn't even look at Wei Yangyang.

And Wei Yangyang, with things on her mind, didn't notice Jiang Motian's guilt.

She was thinking carefully about Jiang Motian's words, then nodded emphatically: "I really should find him and talk; having too many gifts is also a source of trouble."

Trouble?

Jiang Motian silently noted this sentence in her heart.

She prepared to pass it on to Li Xingyan when she went back.

And on Wei Yangyang's side, another hypothesis popped up: "Do you think your brother could be doing all this to make amends?"

"This... given my brother's personality, even if he were making amends, he would do it all at once, rather than a slow, steady stream."

Wei Yangyang felt that made sense.

Li Xingyan likes to be decisive in his actions.

Sending gifts time and time again is truly not his style.

So...

What exactly is the reason?

Wei Yangyang stared at the box, lost in deep thought.

Jiang Motian knew that Wei Yangyang was starting to have her doubts.

If... she could take the opportunity to reveal a little bit of the truth and let her guess, then perhaps when she discovered her brother's true heart, she might be less flustered.

With this thought popping into her mind, Jiang Motian prepared to speak.

As it turned out, Wei Yangyang asked a question first: "Has your brother encountered any difficulties lately?"

This question was very subtle.

It could refer to too many things.

Jiang Motian found it hard to answer, so she pushed the question back to Wei Yangyang: "Why do you say that?"

"It's just that your brother's recent behavior... is somewhat abnormal."

Is it just somewhat abnormal?

No, it is extremely abnormal!

In some respects, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a complete transformation!

But Jiang Motian remained smiling, even guiding Wei Yangyang to continue: "Is it abnormal in terms of gift-giving?"

"Not just that. Doctor Xu is an old acquaintance of your brother, and even he said that Li Xingyan has suddenly become more personable lately!"

Jiang Motian did not deny it, but instead asked with a smile: "Then have you never thought about what the reason might be?"

"I have thought about it; it feels like he's under too much pressure and his behavior has become erratic."

After finishing, Wei Yangyang was suddenly inspired and hurriedly asked: "Is Li Xingyan under too much work pressure?"

"The company has been calm lately, so it shouldn't be pressure from his career. Besides, my brother is a master at doing business, so there's no need for him to be under pressure."

As Li Xingyan's own sister, Jiang Motian had already dismissed this hypothesis, so Wei Yangyang didn't waste any more time on that assumption.

Since it's not work...

Wei Yangyang touched her chin with her finger, lost in deep thought.

Jiang Motian hoped that Wei Yangyang would continue to expand her train of thought.

Only then could she seize the opportunity to slowly enlighten Wei Yangyang.

But why did she suddenly fall silent?

Worried that she would remain silent for too long and let the topic drift away, Jiang Motian took the initiative to provide a hint: "Could it be related to interpersonal relationships?"

Wei Yangyang rolled her eyes and muttered: "Interpersonal relationships? Would Li Xingyan care about such things?"

"Why wouldn't he? After all, my brother is also an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires!"

Jiang Motian was getting a bit anxious, and when she spoke, her tone carried a bit of emotion and was somewhat sharp.

And this reaction of hers took Wei Yangyang by surprise.

Soon, Jiang Motian also realized that she had overreacted.

To avoid raising suspicion, Jiang Motian gave a light cough, suppressed her impatience, and then said calmly: "I lost my composure, my apologies."

"It's just a chat, there's nothing to apologize for. Hmm... if that's really the case, you should counsel your brother more often in your daily life."

"This... my counseling is useless; the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

"So, we have to find the person who is troubling your brother?"
