Knowing she was in the wrong, Wei Yuan did not argue.

She was indeed guilty back then.

She was scared, sad, and panicked.

She felt guilty and didn't know how to face Jiang Zhi.

If he dies, she will never forgive herself, nor will she have the courage to face the tragedy she caused.

She didn't want things to turn out that way; she didn't know the media were chasing Jiang Zhi's car so frantically.

She never expected that Jiang Zhi, in an attempt to evade the media, would speed and crash into three cars, even hitting the pedestrian walkway.

The car's momentum caused it to crash into the shop.

She only suffered minor injuries, but he, in the driver's seat, was seriously injured.

Several people were injured at the scene, but fortunately no one died.

Faced with such a mess, all she wanted to do was run away.

She simply left, and those three years were not a good time for her.

Her heart was constantly tormented, and she often woke up from nightmares.

This must be God's punishment for her.

She also lacked the courage to return and face Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Yan sent her photos of Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu. Seeing that he had recovered and was still as elegant and charming as before, like a proud and imposing king, she was very jealous.

If she hadn't run away out of guilt, if she had dared to take responsibility and stay with Jiang Zhi, then everything Qiao Chu has now should be hers.

But it was no use regretting it. She could feel that Jiang Zhi no longer cared about her, and that there was a vast distance between them, like the Pacific Ocean.

Jealousy once again drove her to evil thoughts. If she couldn't have Jiang Zhi, she would take revenge and make sure they suffered as much as she did.

They were right to criticize her; she was selfish, her mentality had collapsed, and she was becoming increasingly despicable and shameless.

She had a morbid feeling that others owed her something.

She also resented the unfairness of fate towards her.

...

Wei Yuan remained silent, and Jiang Chi continued.

Today, let's lay everything out in the open and explain it clearly, so as to avoid any future problems.

Whether it's right or wrong, there's no escaping it.

"Miss Wei, you had a wonderful three years abroad!"

"..."

"With your good looks, you hooked up with Ning Zeyan, a wealthy businessman from Southeast Asia. Through the resources he provided, you continued to thrive and escaped the public scrutiny surrounding Jiang Zhi's car accident, living a successful life abroad."

"..."

"But you didn't expect that no matter how hard you try, the Ning family just won't accept you. It's said that Ning Zeyan has a fiancée, and you can only be his mistress."

"..."

"If the entertainment industry finds out about this, will you still have a place in the industry? I heard that Ning Zeyan's fiancée is after you..."

In an instant, Wei Yuan covered her ears and shook her head, "Stop talking, stop talking..."

Jiang Chi snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Girl, you should have some morals and conscience. Don't be like your father. I have a clear conscience. The Jiang family has done more than enough for you."

"..."

Jiang Chi: "Jiang Yan brought you back, and I let you live in the Jiang family and even gave you the same education as Jiang Zhi and Jiang Tuo. Although I didn't like you, I didn't do anything excessive over the years. And what about you? How did you treat the Jiang family? If you were wholeheartedly in love with Jiang Zhi and had no ambition, I would have turned a blind eye, but you are an ingrate!"

"..."

Jiang Chi: "I may be old, but I'm not blind or heartless. I can live with a clear conscience."

"..."

Jiang Chi: "If you didn't have those crooked ideas, would I have blacklisted you? I've put up with you long enough!"

"..."

Jiang Chi: "I was going to spare your life, hoping we could all live in peace, but you're courting death, so I have no choice but to grant your wish."

"..."

Wei Yuan didn't say anything, but tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Chi: "Jiang Tuo was willing to sacrifice himself for you, you are not even as good as him. You are all elders, and you are really insensible."

"..."

Jiang Chi: "As long as I have a breath left, I will continue to protect the Jiang family and ensure the safety of my descendants. No one will be able to touch a single hair on their head."

"..."

Jiang Chi: "It's never too late to correct your mistakes and turn back from the wrong path. You make your own way. Whether you choose happiness, evil, or utter defeat is in your own hands. Think it through carefully."

...

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chi asked Du Bin to push him closer to Jiang Tuo.

He was on the other side of the bed, holding Jiang Tuo's hand as well.

"A-Tuo, don't sleep so soundly. You should wake up. Grandpa is waiting for you to play chess. Grandpa doesn't blame you. You are a very remarkable man. You are very responsible. I admire you. You are also Grandpa's pride."

"..."

"We raise a lot of chickens, ducks, and fish in the bamboo garden. We can't finish them all, so we're waiting for you to share them with us. I'm also waiting for you to help me water the flowers, till the land, and feed the chickens and ducks. You said the bamboo garden is very big and suitable for growing vegetables, and Qiao Chu also said she wants to grow vegetables. Everyone is waiting for you to join in the fun!"

"..."

"If you want to learn to cook, Grandpa is also looking forward to tasting the dishes you make yourself."

Jiang Chi took a deep breath, and his eyes also welled up with tears.

He took a tissue and wiped away his tears.

******

Jiang Tuo was still asleep, and Wei Yuan had not left.

After Jiang Chi left, she waited at the door.

She was also given a portion of the meal that the Jiang family's servants brought.

...

Nangong Jin arrived and looked at Wei Yuan.

"Why bother? Don't you look down on everyone?"

Wei Yuan slightly lifted her eyelids and glanced at Nangong Jin.

She still didn't say anything.

Nangong Jin continued, "There's no need for pretense; some action is more practical. The apology owed should be made up."

Wei Yuan glared at Nangong Jin, "I have my own decisions, I don't need you to tell me."
