Chapter 86 If they really touched Wei Zhihe, the Ruan family would never let it go.

There were only three people left in the house.

Zhong Xuexi held back her tears and walked step by step to Zhong Xueyuan.

“Sister, you have suffered so much over the years!”

Just with this one sentence, Zhong Xueyuan fell into panic and confusion, "You...you guys..."

Zhong Xuexi fell to her knees with a thump.

The youngest daughter of the Zhong family, who had always looked down on others, at this moment threw away all her self-esteem and pride, and sincerely regretted what she had missed out on over the years.

"We all know that already."

"Sister, I am sorry for you. Obviously, everything you did was for my own good, but I misunderstood you and even turned against you. I also took my anger out on Nian Nian and the others... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. You hit me and scold me, I accept it, as long as you can calm down..."

Zhong Xueyuan never thought that one day she would receive an apology from Zhong Xuexi.

I don’t even know how to face my younger brothers and sisters who already know the truth.

What happened in the past has become an indelible scar for her. Bringing up the past is only to open her scar again and torture her once again.

The Ruan family is extremely powerful, and Zhong Heyang has had a hard time in recent years. She has finally made it through with her own strength, and she doesn't want her brother's career to be affected anymore.

What's more, the children are all grown up, and everyone already looks at them strangely. If they dig deeper into what happened back then, how will they face everyone once the incident gets out?

Zhong Xueyuan took a deep breath, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands. She turned her face away and said in a voice as light as smoke, "It's all over."

Her light words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Zhong Xuexi.

"Sister! How can you just let this go? You've suffered so much injustice, are you going to let that beast go just like that?"

Zhong Xuexi was filled with anger. She hated Wei Zhihe as much as she liked him at the beginning.

Zhong Heyang signaled her to calm down, "Xue Yuan, what Xue Xi said makes sense. We were unaware of the situation back then and couldn't support you, but now we have enough power to protect you and our family. If you want, I will definitely make Wei Zhihe pay the price!"

Zhong Xueyuan grabbed his wrist and warned him, "No! Don't be stupid! Don't provoke him, even for Siyu and the others!"

We are all adults. In this situation, it is no longer just about revenge. There are too many factors to consider.

Zhong Xuexi stood up, her eyes full of determination, "At worst, we can all leave here and live somewhere else!"

Zhong Xueyuan shook her head, "It's not that simple."

If they really touched Wei Zhihe, the Ruan family would never let it go.

hide?

Do I have to hide for the rest of my life?

In fact, Zhong Heyang had already thought about it before he came. It was not appropriate to touch Wei Zhihe at the moment. At least he had to wait until Ruan Shan retired and the power of the Ruan family was reduced.

By then, the two children will be older. They should know their limits and be sensible, and will definitely make the most correct choice.

There are no cowards among the children of the Zhong family!

Outside the door, Zhong Niannian did not go far, but hid under the window with her brother to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Even though she didn't understand everything, she roughly understood some things.

Dad did something wrong to Mom, which was probably too much. This incident also caused my aunt to wrongly blame Mom, and Mom suffered a lot of injustice.

Zhong Niannian looked at her brother with a dazed look in his eyes and had already made up her mind.

I hope my brother’s illness can be cured sooner so that he can stay with my mother. I hope she can grow up well so that she can be reunited with her mother sooner!

She held Zhong Siyu's hand tightly and said seriously: "Brother, I will not be with you in the future. You must protect mom and don't let anyone bully her, okay?"

Zhong Siyu didn't know if he understood or not, but Zhong Niannian took out a chocolate given by her mother from her pocket and put it in her brother's hand. "If you accept my candy, you have to listen to me. You have to love your mother more, okay? Including my share."

···

Inside the house, Zhong Xuexi saw that Zhong Xueyuan looked unhappy, so she poured her a cup of tea and said, "Sister, drink some water."

Zhong Xueyuan hadn't spoken to her for a long time. In the past, Zhong Xuexi was annoyed even to look at her, and every time they had to meet, she would only speak bad words to her.

Zhong Xueyuan always remains silent and never refutes or defends anything.

For her, any explanation would be meaningless from the moment she made the decision.

"You haven't been home for a long time. Grandma has been missing you, but she didn't dare to disturb you for fear that you would be unhappy. She feels guilty about you all these years, and can only double compensate Siyu and the others for all the debts she owes."

Zhong Xuexi stayed by her sister's side and said earnestly, "You hate me for not forgiving me. This is all my own fault. I admit it, but grandma is old, and dad and his family passed away early. She has really suffered too much these years. She is looking forward to our family reunion. Sister, go home and see her!"

Zhong Xueyuan took the water she handed to her reluctantly.

She pursed her lips and thought for a long time before speaking, "Okay."

···

It was almost noon when they arrived at the door of their house.

Before coming, Zhong Xueyuan took the initiative to mention that she was going to the capital, "This time I want to take Siyu to see a doctor. After I settle down there, I will come to pick up Nian Nian."

"Please help me take good care of her."

Zhong Xuexi also secretly fantasized that after she admitted her mistake to her sister, they could go back to their childhood and be together every day.

After hearing what she said, I was immediately disillusioned.

"Nian Nian is a well-behaved and obedient girl. You can leave her at home without worry. We will all take good care of her." Zhong Heyang knew that once Zhong Xueyuan made a decision, it would be almost impossible to change it.

Besides, she was right to do so.

Zhong Xueyuan seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say, "I heard from Nian Nian that you married a very nice sister-in-law. I haven't met her yet. Was she at home at noon?"

"She's not here." Zhong Heyang explained: "She has work and can't get away. If you want to see her, I can bring her over."

"I'm leaving next week, so let's find a day when my sister-in-law is free so that we can meet." Zhong Xueyuan considered that her daughter would stay in the Zhong family. Zhong Heyang was her brother, so it was her duty to trouble her brother in any way she could. After all, blood is thicker than water.

But Lin Ziqiu married into the family, so some things must be discussed with her.

"No problem, I'll arrange it."

After they had reached an agreement, they set off for home together.

Li Guixiang had already prepared the dishes and was walking back and forth in the yard, waiting for her grandchildren to come home. "Grandma!"

As soon as Zhong Niannian reached the gate, she ran in and threw herself into Li Guixiang's arms, rubbing her little head against hers again and again, "I missed you so much, grandma!"

Li Guixiang was already thinking about her two children. Seeing the soft and tender little kids acting coquettishly in her arms, her heart softened. "Grandma misses you too. She can't sleep well without you at night."

Zhong Niannian was originally reluctant to leave her mother, but now she was reluctant to leave her great-grandmother as well.
