Wen Nian gave Wen Yu a questioning look, and Wen Yu shrugged, feeling helpless as well.
During their meal today, they happened to stumble upon a short video. Zhou Mei quickly snatched it away, discovering its contents half a minute before Wen Yu did.
Plans couldn’t keep up with changes. Looking at Zhou Mei, who had a distressed expression, Wen Nian scratched her head in confusion and said, “Mom, they didn’t succeed in bullying me. I fought back later. My hand got a little red from being pulled, but we see each other every day. If I were seriously injured, wouldn’t you know?”
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Mei realized it was true. Her tears retreated, and she anxiously said, “I’ve seen people online saying the video is fake. Would I not recognize my daughter’s appearance and voice? How is it that being bullied has become a matter of being in the wrong these days!”
Helplessly, Zhou Xing added, “Moreover, they only recognize official documents. Where can we find evidence? We don’t even know who filmed it.”
Realizing that the truth couldn’t be concealed any longer, Wen Nian simply pulled Zhou Mei to sit on the sofa. “I filmed the video myself, and 1 plan to release the original file tomorrow.”
Then, Wen Nian recounted Wei Lai’s provocation against her and the fact that she came looking for revenge today.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu slammed the table in anger. “This is outrageous! They think our Wen family is easy to bully, huh!”
Zhou Mei clenched her fists tightly. “One thing after another. Every time we have something to do with the Wei family, it never ends well. Back then, my father…”
“Cough, cough!” Wen Xing coughed twice, interrupting Zhou Mei’s words.
Zhou Mei’s words were forcibly swallowed back down, and she glared at Wen Xing. “Anyway, the Wei family is our Wen family’s nemesis!”
Observing this all-too-obvious scene, Wen Yu curiously said, “Dad, your actions are quite deliberate. Even a blind person could tell what you two are up to. We’re family, there’s no need to keep secrets.”
Wen Nian could sense that whatever Zhou Mei was about to say might have a significant connection to her long-standing doubts.
Wen Nian also chimed in, echoing Wen Yu’s words. “Mom, just tell us. Why do you say the Wei family is our nemesis? What happened to Grandfather back then? Didn’t he die because he was sick?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei sighed lightly. “My child’s father, just think about the past. After Old Master Wei found us, Wen Nian changed completely. She was completely bewitched by him, but now she doesn’t want to marry into the Wei family anymore. And now, there’s Wei Lai who wants to harm Wen Nian. I can’t let them repay their favors to us. We might not have evidence for some things, but we still need to be cautious.”
As Wen Nian listened to Zhou Mei’s words, she recalled her past life, where the Wen family was destroyed by the Wei family!
This was revenge for the annihilation of nine generations. How can this be seen as repaying a debt of gratitude?
Wen Nian tightly clasped Zhou Mei’s hand and spoke with a deliberate tone, “Mom, please tell me. If not, I will have to consider the impact our families’ relationship with the Wei Family has on my decision to endure Wei Lai’s bullying.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xing immediately interjected, saying, “Your grandfather once saved Old Master Wei’s life. They owe us. Why should you endure anything?”
Observing the situation, Zhou Mei began to recount the peculiar incident involving her father-in-law. “It happened sixteen years ago. Your grandfather and Old Master Wei went out together for some undisclosed business. It was all shrouded in secrecy. Later, Old Master Wei returned to our house alone and informed us that your grandfather had broken his legs while saving him from being hit by a car.”
“We hurried to the hospital, but he had already been transferred to the ICU for observation. Your grandfather was already old, and the impact had rendered his legs completely disabled. However, he remained optimistic, and his recovery was quite remarkable. After being discharged, he stayed home for recuperation, and his mental state was perfectly sound.”
“But something strange began to happen. Old Master Wei would visit your grandfather every week. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention, but I gradually noticed that whenever he came, your grandfather’s health would deteriorate in the following days. He would experience breathlessness or nausea. The once gentle man became increasingly irritable. Even after hospital examinations, no problems could be identified. The doctors suspected that your grandfather was accepting his physical disability externally, but internally, he couldn’t truly come to terms with it.”
“Within less than six months, your grandfather’s health further declined. One afternoon, when Old Master Wei came to visit, they were conversing in the room, and suddenly your grandfather couldn’t breathe. He passed away before the ambulance arrived. Old Master Wei claimed that if it weren’t for your grandfather taking the blow for him, he wouldn’t have died in despair. He insisted on covering the funeral expenses and was actively involved in the entire process..”
