"Sister Ni's due date is approaching, isn't it? She has a hospital check-up today, and your mother took her. She should be back soon."
Wei Anguo glanced at his watch.
"Then I'll wait a while," Wei Yumeng sat down and asked Fang Xun to place the gifts he brought beside Wei Anguo. "These are all from Ah Han. He's busy with company matters today and couldn't come."
Wei Anguo asked suspiciously, "Yumeng, why are you looking for your mother and Wei Jin? Has the Zhan family agreed?"
"Dad, we're all family. There's no need to hide things from me. We all know about Wei Jin's pregnancy. There's no need for pretense."
Wei Yumeng didn't speak too directly, wanting to probe Wei Anguo first and see if he would be willing to talk.
Wei Anguo's expression stiffened for a moment, and he gave an awkward laugh.
"Yumeng, what do you mean? We're family. I certainly have no reason to hide anything from you. But I don't understand what you're trying to say."
Wei Yumeng then said to a servant, "Please make me a cup of tea."
The servant paused, then nodded and walked towards the kitchen.
Wei Yumeng sneered inwardly. As expected, this family never treated her as one of their own from the beginning. If she hadn't spoken up, she might not have even been offered a drink, and Wei Anguo certainly wouldn't have thought of her.
Seeing Wei Yumeng's silence, Wei Anguo became even more anxious. He knew the child Wei Jin was carrying wasn't Zhan Yichen's. But how could Wei Yumeng know? It shouldn't be possible.
Only when the servant brought the tea did Wei Yumeng take it and sip it slowly.
"Dad, let's be frank. The child Wei Jin is carrying is not Zhan Yichen's. She has had no relations with Zhan Yichen."
Wei Anguo's face changed drastically, his smile becoming even more rigid.
"Yumeng, you can't just say such things. I know you're with the Wei family now, and you naturally don't want Sister Ni to come back. But no matter what, she's still Sister Ni."
"Sister? Wei Yumeng couldn't help but want to laugh. She cast a cold glance at Wei Anguo. "When has she ever considered me a sister? When have you ever considered me your daughter?"
If this hadn't been brought up, she wouldn't have felt so wronged. But the moment it was mentioned, a surge of anger instantly welled up in her heart.
"Ever since you married Yin Fang, you've started favoring Wei Jin. No matter what, you always think of her. You'd rather buy her designer bags and cars than a birthday gift for me. You weren't like this before. You agreed to everything Yin Fang said, and what about me? Is this fair to me?"
The grievances she had suffered over the years were all about to be spilled out today. It was understandable for parents to favor sons, but she and Wei Jin were both daughters. They were both his flesh and blood, so why such a huge disparity?
"I never expected you to show me any fatherly love, nor did I ask you to be a father who thinks of his children. I only ask that you stop harming me, stop hurting the last shred of respect I have for you as a father."
"Back then, you disliked Zhan Mohan being paralyzed and didn't want Wei Jin to suffer. So you married me off. Fortunately, he treated me well. If he had been a hot-tempered, eccentric man, have you ever thought about what my future would have been like?"
Wei Anguo probably hadn't even considered these things. The moment he abandoned Gu Shuyi and her, he had already considered Yin Fang and Wei Jin as his family.
It was as if only they were his family, and she was just his pawn.
Who wouldn't want the love of their parents, who wouldn't want to be their parents' treasure? She had never received any of these. Ever since Yin Fang entered the house, every step she had taken was on her own, without relying on Wei Anguo at all.
Over the years, apart from Gu Shuyi's medical expenses, she had never asked him for a single cent.
Yet Wei Anguo acted as if he had no guilt whatsoever.
"But aren't you living quite well now? The Young Madam of the Zhan family, so many people envy you. Look at Wei Jin, she was harmed by Zhan Mohan like this, and she still can't get over Gao Dazhuang's incident. Do you still want to push her to death through this matter?"
Wei Yumeng tilted her head back and laughed mockingly, but her eyes held more shock and heartbreak.
Although she had known Wei Anguo was biased from the start, she hadn't expected him to be so unreasonable.
"Heh, you really never disappoint me. Did I force Wei Jin to be this way? According to you, her current situation is all thanks to me. We are both your daughters, why are you treating me like this! Have you considered my feelings?"
Her emotions suddenly collapsed, and she couldn't control herself, roaring at Wei Anguo.
"I truly cannot understand why you are like this. We are both your flesh and blood. Am I adopted?"
Wei Anguo's face turned cold. He probably felt that Wei Yumeng shouting at him in front of Fang Xun was a great loss of face.
"Then how else should I treat you? I've raised you this far. Shouldn't you repay me? Besides, although marrying you off was a bit of a hardship, you're living a life of comfort now. Zhan Mohan is even targeting Sister Ni for your sake. Aren't you satisfied yet!"
Wei Yumeng had hoped for a peaceful resolution before coming. But now, it seemed utterly unnecessary.
All she saw was Wei Anguo's favoritism towards Wei Jin, and not even a shred of pity for her.
Did the fact that she was living a good life now mean Wei Anguo should give all his love to Wei Jin?
If so, she had no need to spare him any further.
She took a deep breath. "Fine. If you think I harmed Wei Jin, then I have nothing to say. So I am that detestable in your eyes. Since I'm so detestable, why should I pretend to be good anymore?"
Immediately, she turned to Fang Xun and said, "Take out all the evidence of Wei Jin scheming against Zhan Yichen, and let my good father open his eyes and see."
"Yes, Madam."
Fang Xun had also been listening and found it unbearable. This was the first time he had encountered such a biased father. It was fortunate that Master Zhan doted on his wife, or his wife would truly have no one to cherish or love her.
They were both girls, yet their treatment was so vastly different. Moreover, Wei Anguo's logic was incomprehensible by normal standards; it was simply bizarre.
What era was this? He was still being biased. It was lucky he didn't have a son, or who knew how much worse it would have been.
Fang Xun took out all the evidence from the files and laid them before Wei Anguo.
Wei Yumeng walked forward, watching Wei Anguo's expression change bit by bit.
"Let me tell you, this B-ultrasound report for Wei Jin's pregnancy doesn't match the dates from last time. This is a recording of the doctor who examined her saying that Wei Jin bribed her to falsify the report. Also, Wei Jin never had any relations with Zhan Yichen. This is the inspection report of the drink she gave Zhan Yichen that day; it contained a drug that causes unconsciousness."
She explained the evidence to Wei Anguo one by one, with extreme patience, but her eyes no longer held the light they had before. Now, they were filled with cold indifference.
Wei Anguo picked up the evidence, his face growing increasingly ashen. His hands holding the reports trembled, then he calmed down.
He sneered and said, "Are you kidding me? Where did you get this from? It's not like you, Yumeng, fabricated it to target Wei Jin and prevent her from marrying into the Wei family, is it?"
Wei Yumeng was truly astonished by Wei Anguo's train of thought.
"Fang Xun found all of this. If necessary, we can bring in witnesses for verification. There is no fabrication."
Wei Anguo slammed the table abruptly, roaring in anger.
"Wei Yumeng, are you crazy? You are part of the Wei family! How can you help your in-laws target your maternal family? If Zhan Mohan truly abandons you in the future, you'll have to beg us for shelter."
"Don't worry. Even if Zhan Mohan abandons me in the future, I will not come begging at your Wei family's door."
She would rather suffer herself than shamelessly beg them.
Wei Anguo was almost driven mad by Wei Yumeng's words. He pointed at her and cursed, "You... How could I have a daughter like you! If I had known, I should have never given birth to such a rebellious creature!"
Wei Yumeng's heart felt as if it were bleeding, but she didn't want Wei Anguo to see her vulnerability, because even if she were pitiful, Wei Anguo wouldn't show her a shred of pity.
She forced herself to remain calm. "Yes, I also don't want to be your daughter. You've never treated me as your daughter either. Your only daughter is Wei Jin!"
