“Dad, Dad, how can you be like this?” Wei Jin exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Wei Anguo was resolute at this moment. He had made a choice between Wei Jin and Yin Fang, and the company. Clearly, the company was all he wanted.
As for Wei Jin and Yin Fang, he could become heartless. As long as they didn't implicate his company, he didn't mind severing ties with them.
Wei Anguo, now understanding the situation, once again pleaded with Wei Yumeng, “Yumeng, you understand my attitude. I truly did nothing. Please, show mercy and spare me and the company. It’s my life’s work…”
Yin Fang, standing beside them, lunged forward to grab Wei Anguo. No matter how composed she usually was, she was now at her wit's end. “You good-for-nothing Wei Anguo, I never expected you to sell us out so quickly! Just you wait.” In a flash, Yin Fang made a calculation, casting a venomous smile at Wei Anguo.
She turned to grab Wei Yumeng’s hand, but Wei Yumeng immediately pulled hers away. The thought of such a woman disgusted her to even look at for another second.
Yin Fang no longer cared if she had managed to grab Wei Yumeng’s hand. “Yumeng, actually, Shu Yi’s accident is also related to Wei Anguo! I admit, I did it, but it has nothing to do with Xiao Jin. She was just too impulsive. I did all this, but your father, Wei Anguo, is also responsible!”
As soon as she said this, Wei Anguo angrily rushed over and slapped Yin Fang across the face. He yelled ferociously, “Yumeng, don't believe this woman. She’s framing me! I did nothing, arrest her quickly!”
A mocking smile appeared on Wei Yumeng’s lips. This was family, how hilarious. She spoke slowly but with undeniable authority, “Enough! This play of sacrificing relatives for the greater good ends here. Everything is up to the police!”
With that, Wei Yumeng, holding a photo of Gu Shuyi, walked step by step towards Yin Fang. Her gaze was resolute and oppressive. She grabbed Yin Fang’s hair and pulled it back, forcing Yin Fang’s head to tilt backward. “Don’t think that by acting like a mad dog and biting randomly at this moment, I’ll believe you. Remember, what my mother went through, you will experience ten times! A hundred times!”
She then shoved Gu Shuyi’s photo in Yin Fang’s face.
Yin Fang's eyes were filled with terror, but she couldn't retreat. She could only close her eyes in agony.
Wei Yumeng then turned to Wei Jin, smiling as she said, “Come, this is your mother, your good mother. You have such a deep mother-daughter bond, don’t you? She's about to go to jail, don't you want to say something!”
But Wei Yumeng’s grip on Yin Fang’s hair did not loosen, keeping her in that position.
Wei Yumeng then looked at Wei Anguo. “Between us, there's no need for pretense. What you did, what you didn’t do, I know it all clearly. What belongs to you, you cannot escape! We severed ties the moment my mother died!”
Upon hearing this, Wei Anguo broke out in a cold sweat. Despite the comfortable temperature of the living room, Wei Anguo’s palms were clammy.
Wei Jin was truly scared now. She didn't know what to do. Wei Anguo clearly wouldn't protect her anymore; he was too busy distancing himself. He only cared about his interests. What about her mother? Her mother couldn't go to jail!
Wei Jin was on the verge of a breakdown. She started crying. Tears streaming down her face, she said to Wei Yumeng, “Sister, sister, it was my fault, it was my fault. I was blinded. Please, spare us. I’ll kowtow to you, okay?”
She then began to kowtow, again and again, until her forehead was broken.
However, Wei Yumeng had no interest in the three of them. Instead, she and Zhan Mohan watched their family of three’s performance with amusement.
Time ticked by.
A while later, the police arrived.
Zhan Mohan stood up and shook hands with the buzz-cut police officer, explaining the situation.
The buzz-cut police officer cast a contemptuous glance at the two women on the ground. He had been on the force for many years and loathed such people. This made him increasingly displeased with Wei Anguo. Out of professional courtesy, he maintained a barely civil attitude towards the three of them. He then turned to Wei Yumeng and asked, “Miss Wei, where is your evidence?”
Wei Yumeng went upstairs and retrieved a USB drive. “Officer, this is the evidence. It’s the evidence that they killed my mother!”
The buzz-cut police officer sealed the USB drive in a transparent bag and instructed the officers beside him, “Take these three away.”
Wei Anguo knew there was no turning back. His facade completely crumbled, and he yelled, “You wicked Wei Yumeng, I should have aborted you. I should have killed you at birth!”
The moment Yin Fang saw the police, her face turned ashen, and her limbs went weak. Wei Jin was also stunned; seeing the police, she felt as if all her strength had been drained.
Both were quietly escorted away, though Wei Anguo’s words were vile.
Finally, the hall was restored to silence. Wei Yumeng felt utterly drained. She was pregnant, and her previous assertiveness was all for her mother; she wanted justice for her mother!
Now that the three were gone, she didn't feel as happy as she expected.
However, this didn't mean she was a saint. Karma would eventually catch up, and she hoped it would be their downfall!
If others harmed her once, she would repay them tenfold, no matter the means! She wouldn’t hesitate!
Zhan Mohan gently supported her and led her to the sofa, taking her hand.
Wei Yumeng leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. “Mohan, do you think I’m cruel? Am I a bad woman, so aggressive?”
“Don’t think like that. You are always the best in my eyes. I am always solely for Wei Yumeng. I will support any decision you make, especially since they are utterly wicked! They were wrong from the start!”
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She opened her eyes and said, “Mohan, I’m a bit tired. I want to go rest.”
Zhan Mohan softly said, “Then let’s go upstairs to rest.”
Wei Yumeng nodded gently.
Zhan Mohan scooped her up in a princess carry, her arms wrapping around his neck.
Upstairs, Zhan Mohan gently tucked Wei Yumeng into bed and held her hand.
Wei Yumeng had indeed exhausted herself too much today. So much energy had been expended. Being pregnant, emotional instability was a major taboo and could harm her health.
Slowly, Wei Yumeng seemed to fall asleep. Zhan Mohan prepared to gently withdraw his hand, but to his surprise, Wei Yumeng’s grip was still tight even in her sleep, making it impossible to pull away.
So, Zhan Mohan lay down with her.
An afternoon passed.
Wei Yumeng was drowsily asleep, having a terrible dream filled with oppression. Yet, there was something she clutched tightly. She didn't know what it was, but it was warm, giving her immense strength.
Later, a warm light source appeared, and as she moved closer to it, the oppression finally lifted.
Finally, she opened her eyes, met by a pair of smiling eyes. Zhan Mohan smiled and said, “You’re awake. Do you know what you did to me in your dream? You…”
