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 couldnât keep up with changes. Looking at Zhou Mei, who had a distressed expression, Wen Nian scratched her head in confusion and said, âMom, they didnât 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, wouldnât you know?â
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Mei realized it was true. Her tears retreated, and she anxiously said, âIâve seen people online saying the video is fake. Would I not recognize my daughterâs appearance and voice? How is it that being bullied has become a matter of being in the wrong these days!â
Helplessly, Zhou Xing added, âMoreover, they only recognize official documents. Where can we find evidence? We donât even know who filmed it.â
Realizing that the truth couldnât be concealed any longer, Wen Nian simply pulled Zhou Mei to sit on the sofa. âI filmed the video myself, and 1 plan to release the original file tomorrow.â
Then, Wen Nian recounted Wei Laiâs provocation against her and the fact that she came looking for revenge today.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu slammed the table in anger. âThis is outrageous! They think our Wen family is easy to bully, huh!â
Zhou Mei clenched her fists tightly. âOne thing after another. Every time we have something to do with the Wei family, it never ends well. Back then, my fatherâŠâ
âCough, cough!â Wen Xing coughed twice, interrupting Zhou Meiâs words.
Zhou Meiâs words were forcibly swallowed back down, and she glared at Wen Xing. âAnyway, the Wei family is our Wen familyâs nemesis!â
Observing this all-too-obvious scene, Wen Yu curiously said, âDad, your actions are quite deliberate. Even a blind person could tell what you two are up to. Weâre family, thereâs no need to keep secrets.â
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 Yuâs words. âMom, just tell us. Why do you say the Wei family is our nemesis? What happened to Grandfather back then? Didnât he die because he was sick?â
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei sighed lightly. âMy childâs 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 doesnât want to marry into the Wei family anymore. And now, thereâs Wei Lai who wants to harm Wen Nian. I canât let them repay their favors to us. We might not have evidence for some things, but we still need to be cautious.â
As Wen Nian listened to Zhou Meiâs 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 Meiâs hand and spoke with a deliberate tone, âMom, please tell me. If not, I will have to consider the impact our familiesâ relationship with the Wei Family has on my decision to endure Wei Laiâs bullying.â
Upon hearing this, Wen Xing immediately interjected, saying, âYour grandfather once saved Old Master Weiâs life. They owe us. Why should you endure anything?â
Observing the situation, Zhou Mei began to recount the peculiar incident involving her father-in-law. âIt 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.â
âWe 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.â
âBut something strange began to happen. Old Master Wei would visit your grandfather every week. Initially, I didnât pay much attention, but I gradually noticed that whenever he came, your grandfatherâs 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 couldnât truly come to terms with it.â
âWithin less than six months, your grandfatherâs health further declined. One afternoon, when Old Master Wei came to visit, they were conversing in the room, and suddenly your grandfather couldnât breathe. He passed away before the ambulance arrived. Old Master Wei claimed that if it werenât for your grandfather taking the blow for him, he wouldnât have died in despair. He insisted on covering the funeral expenses and was actively involved in the entire process..â
