Chapter 657 Farewell

"I don't know about that." Director Song was just an executor; he really didn't know the specifics. "Old Chen, I just wanted to come see you today. Once your injury heals, go to the office and take care of the follow-up matters. After that, you're done."

At this moment, Chen Hui knew that his career as a minister had come to a complete end.

In the following days, Chen Hui was finally discharged from the hospital with the care of his daughter, Chen Wei.

Chen Wei only learned the truth after her father told her many things over and over, and she regretted helping her aunt.

However, Chen Fangyue had already been sentenced, but out of family affection, she still went to visit Chen Fangyue at Dongcheng Women's Prison.

When Chen Fangyue saw her, her eyes were full of hope, thinking that she had come to help her: "Xiao Wei, did you come to rescue me? I knew you wouldn't just stand by and watch me go."

After all, Xiao Wei was raised by her own hands. Although they were aunt and niece, the affection between them was far greater than that between a normal aunt and niece.

They actually look more like mother and daughter.

“Aunt, you’ve really done too many wrong things. I can’t save you.” Chen Wei looked at her aunt and said in a cold voice with an invisible distance in her voice, “Dad and I have lost too much because of you. I can’t save you anymore.”

She can barely take care of herself now, how could she possibly have the right to rescue her?

Upon hearing this, the hope in Chen Fangyue's eyes seemed to vanish instantly: "Xiao Wei, what do you mean by that? Are you going to just watch me go to jail and choose to ignore it?"

Her son, Jinzhou, is already in jail; she can't stay in this godforsaken place any longer!

If even she goes to jail, how will she get Jinzhou out? How will she fight Sang Ruo?

"There's nothing I can do. It's not that I don't want to save you, but I'm truly powerless to do so."

Chen Wei felt angry when she thought about how her father had been demoted because of her: "Aunt, my father lost his ministerial position and his subsidized housing because of you. Our whole family has been almost homeless because of you!"

"How else do you want me to save you? I warned you before not to go too far. A little planning would have been enough. Why did you bomb Sang Ruo's clinic and then orchestrate a car accident that almost killed Sang Ruo?!"

This is the part she can't understand the most.

She had always known that her aunt harbored a faint resentment towards Sang Ruo, but she felt that her aunt should be more rational and that even if she wanted to deal with Sang Ruo, it would only be a minor skirmish.

Who knew she would bomb Sang Ruo's clinic? And not only that, she also deliberately orchestrated a car accident that almost took Sang Ruo's life?

She was too cruel; she almost took Sang Ruo's life!

She almost got dragged down with her too. If it weren't for her previous relationship with Sang Ruo, her fate probably wouldn't have been much better than her aunt's.

"I did this to get revenge for her plotting against Jinzhou!" Chen Fangyue revealed her purpose for the first time: "She caused my son to go to prison, where he has been incarcerated for seven years. I haven't seen my son for seven years. What I did is already a very lenient punishment!"

Her tone was somewhat crazed, and her expression revealed a certain determination to succeed.

Chen Wei shook her head, saying, "Auntie, you're so stubborn and have gone to the point of madness. Even if my father came, he couldn't save you! Good luck to you!"

"From now on, I will never care about your affairs again, and I don't plan to contact my cousin anymore. We are severing all ties and will never see each other again."

She and her father's family were living a good life, but because her aunt's obsession and hatred were too deep, it led to this situation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fangyue couldn't accept this reality and quickly tried to stop her: "No, Xiaowei! You can't do this, you can't abandon me. Your cousin still needs you to take care of things. Have you forgotten? I raised you single-handedly when you were little, it was me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Wei interrupted her, unable to bear it any longer: "Don't bring up things from when I was a child again!"

"Without you and my cousin, my dad and I were doing just fine. It was you who made me almost homeless, and it was you who made me decide to leave for another place. It was all your fault!"

"Are you still trying to morally blackmail me with things from my childhood? Oh, by the way, let me tell you something else."

“Your cousin already knows about your jail time and supports you going to jail. He said he didn’t force you to do anything, it was all voluntary on your own, and he never thought about getting out of jail early.”

It was all just wishful thinking on her part; it was all in vain. Who could she blame?

As soon as the words were spoken, Chen Fangyue was stunned, as if struck by lightning. She stood there blankly, motionless, her whole body stiff, unable to recover for a long time.

Doesn't Jinju want to be released early? Why?

When Chen Fangyue came to her senses, she wanted to ask her more questions, but Chen Wei was too lazy to even look at her again and left without turning her head.

She believed she had done everything she could and owed them, mother and son, nothing more.

...

After such a long period of recuperation, Sang Ruo's health had improved a lot. At noon, just after she finished lunch, she heard Uncle Jiang say, "Madam, there is a Miss Chen outside who wants to see you."

Miss Chen?

Chen Wei? Or Chen Wanru?

"Let her in," Sang Ruo said.

"yes."

Uncle Jiang quickly brought Chen Wei in. Compared to before, Chen Wei looked somewhat haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested well in the past few days.

Chen Wei took off the sunglasses that she had been wearing on her nose and smiled slightly at Sang Ruo, saying, "Miss Sang, it's been a long time. I've come here today specifically to say goodbye, consider it a farewell."

Saying goodbye?

This word successfully caught Sang Ruo's attention, causing her to look up and stare intently at her: "Where are you going?"

“The United States.” Chen Wei couldn’t help but smile bitterly, confiding her sorrows like an old friend: “You must know about the changes in my family. My father was demoted, and I can no longer stay in Beijing.”

"Miss Sang, I sincerely apologize for everything I did before. I'm sorry."

After speaking, Chen Wei bent down and bowed deeply to Sang Ruo at a ninety-degree angle, looking very sincere.

Sang Ruo hadn't expected her to bow so deeply, and was somewhat at a loss for words: "Get up quickly, I didn't ask you to bow."

She didn't know why she was bowing to herself. Did she really know she was wrong?

For a moment, Sang Ruo hesitated.

But reason told her that she absolutely could not trust her anymore.
