Chapter 124 He is lying to you
When the Li family heard news about their daughter again, it was the news of Li Hualan's death.
Since the Li family did not know that their daughter was pregnant before marriage, no one investigated the cause of Li Hualan's death.
Even if the Li family heard some rumors in that small town, they were unwilling to admit that their precious daughter, whom they had raised, ended up like this.
After Li Hualan's body was brought back to the Li family and hastily buried, that dusty past was also buried in her grave.
An Ruoshu, who was far away in Xicheng, felt guilty and wrote down everything she did in her diary to vent her inner guilt.
Wei Jingzhe discovered the diary by chance.
That time, an ignorant nanny came to the Wei family and found An Ruoshu's diary during the general cleaning. At that time, An Ruoshu happened to have returned to the An family to visit relatives, and her secret was thus made public.
It turned out that Butler Zhao did not follow An Ruoshu's order to dispose of the child. Instead, he saved Li Qingqing's life because Li Hualan was from the same hometown as him, and gave her to his distant relative Chen Suyun to raise.
But this selfish intention was eventually discovered by An Ruoshu a few years later.
When An Ruoshu learned that Li Hualan's daughter was not dead, she was furious. She personally went to Jinxi Town and wanted to extend her evil hand again.
But when she saw those pure and innocent eyes, she was shocked and could no longer bring herself to kill such an innocent life.
Looking at little Qingqing, who was only four or five years old at the time, standing in the snow in the middle of winter wearing only a pair of shoes, I don’t know if she was too hungry or just thought it was fun, she was actually eating snow...
Her little hands, which had turned purple from the cold, were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, and there were obvious bruises on her arms.
At that moment, all the hatred in An Ruoshu's heart disappeared. She knew that the child was not having a good life in this family, and perhaps such punishment was enough for her.
From then on, An Ruoshu lived her life peacefully with this secret until Wei Jingzhe accidentally discovered her diary, and this secret that had been buried for many years became known again.
Wei Jingzhe was angry and shocked when he learned the truth. He was angry that the person next to him was such a vicious person, and he was shocked that the woman he loved most in his life had left him so many years ago.
But apart from anger and shock, there was also a surprise, that is, he and Li Hualan actually had a daughter living in this world.
At that moment, his sense of responsibility as a father seemed to awaken all of a sudden.
The debt he owed to Li Hualan could no longer be made up, and he would devote all his goodness to their daughter in the rest of his life.
At this time, Wei Jingzhe had already established a firm foothold in Xicheng and had absolute say in both the Wei and An families.
He angrily called An Ruoshu back and asked her where his and Li Hualan's daughter was.
An Ruoshu felt extremely aggrieved. The hatred she had for the child, which had already dissipated a lot, suddenly surged up again. It seemed that she should not have let Li Hualan's daughter go out of her heart.
An Ruoshu's domineering character, which had been suppressed for many years, was revealed again, and the incident became known to everyone in the Wei and An families, including Wei Qingming.
But under Wei Jingzhe's great majesty, she could no longer make any waves. Now the only way she could resist was to refuse to reveal Li Qingqing's whereabouts.
Wei Jingzhe tried to persuade and threaten but it was of no avail. He had no choice but to send people to look for him himself.
Wei Qingming originally hated the fact that Wei Jingzhe had an illegitimate daughter. Although he knew that Wei Jingzhe did not actually love his mother, Wei Qingming had seen that his mother loved him since he was a child.
So he felt sorry for his mother.
But when he learned that the innocent child was almost killed by his mother, he still felt full of guilt towards the child.
Of course, this incident not only made him feel guilty, but also shocked him. It turned out that his seemingly gentle mother also had such a cruel side. Wei Qingming could not accept this for a while.
Later, he blamed all the mistakes on Wei Jingzhe. If Wei Jingzhe had not been indecisive, how could his mother become a demon who attempted murder?
From then on, the already scarce relationship between father and son became even more distant, and Wei Qingming even hated Wei Jingzhe in his heart.
But life must go on, and he is still the only heir of the Wei family.
In order to atone for his mother's sins, he took the initiative to undertake the task of finding his half-sister.
Whether it was fate or something else, he and his half-sister actually met at work, which led to a series of events that followed.
…
Of course, when Wei Jingzhe recounted this past event, he deliberately concealed many things.
For example, he portrayed his deception and indifference to Li Hualan as forced behavior.
For example, he also portrayed An Ruoshu's persecution of Li Hualan as a trick of fate.
…
Maybe he did this for the sake of family harmony, or maybe he was just a natural hypocrite. Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had deceived others, and as long as the result was good, he didn't mind embellishing his story.
Li Qingqing listened quietly. She felt Wei Jingzhe's regret in his story. She also felt that her mother's situation was unfair, but she did not completely believe Wei Jingzhe's words and attributed everything that happened that year to fate.
She always felt that there must be something else going on, because the story seemed to be missing many details...
If the Wei family cannot tell her the truth, then she will investigate it herself.
"Uncle Wei, thank you for telling me so much. I may need some time to accept my identity, so I can't express my attitude yet..."
Wei Jingzhe did not make things difficult for her. The family relationship that had been missing for more than 20 years could not be established overnight.
"I understand, Dad... I just hope you can accept me as a failed father... I will make up for what I owe your mother in the future."
The regret on his face was not fake, and his desire to make amends to Li Qingqing was genuine.
"Oh, right, Qingqing." He seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Our Wei family has an old house in Haicheng. If you've made up your mind, you're welcome to come back and live here anytime. Your grandmother is still at home, so I'll be staying in the old house soon."
As if afraid that this request was too abrupt, he continued, "Of course, if you feel pressured to go home, I also bought you a villa in Haicheng. You can move there and the transfer procedures can be handled at any time."
Wei Jingzhe saw that Li Qingqing's attitude was much softer than before, and tried his best to please her.
His daughter looks very much like her mother, which immediately brings him back to his youth and makes him feel deeply emotional.
He knew that he had let Li Hualan down, and he could only try his best to make up for it through their daughter.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Wei. I'll come find you after I think it over."
The conversation between the two seemed to end here. Li Qingqing turned her head and looked in the direction of the bedroom, as if looking for Wei Qingming.
Wei Jingzhe said with a shrewd look, "You still have something to talk to Qingming about, right? He told me before you came that you had something to talk to him about?"
Li Qingqing nodded.
Wei Jingzhe stood up and said goodbye tactfully, "I just happened to have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more."
Before leaving, he glanced at the meeting gift still on the coffee table and said again, "This meeting gift... I still hope you can accept it as a favor to me, okay? Qingqing."
Li Qingqing didn't have the heart to refuse him in person, but she didn't agree to accept it either.
She sent Wei Jingzhe to the door, and when she came back, Wei Qingming had already sat in the same seat.
Before Li Qingqing could even mention the matter she wanted him to help with, he spoke first.
"He's lying to you."
"What?"
Wei Qingming's sudden words left Li Qingqing unable to react for a moment.
Wei Qingming repeated: "What Wei Jingzhe just said to you is not 100% true."
“…”
