Chapter 132 From Now On I Will Be Your Brother
The first time Li Qingqing saw An Ruoshu, she knew why Wei Qingming looked different from Wei Jingzhe, because he looked exactly like his mother.
Their skin is extremely white, their lips are very red, and they look like they have a naturally sickly beauty.
However, because An Ruoshu suffered from illness when she was young, her figure and appearance are no longer what they used to be, but one can still vaguely see her former appearance.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Wei Qingming was visibly panicking. The situation he least wanted to face happened unexpectedly.
The person he least wanted Li Qingqing to see was An Ruoshu, or rather, the person he least wanted An Ruoshu to see was Li Qingqing, because these two people would bring out the most painful memories in each other.
Today, the two of them unexpectedly met at the Wei family's old house.
An Ruoshu acted like the head of the household. She walked to the dining table in high heels and sat down. She greeted Old Mrs. Wei politely, and then immediately put on an overbearing demeanor.
"If you don't come to the Wei family again, your father will give you away."
Sure enough, there was a strong smell of gunpowder from the beginning.
Wei Jingzhe couldn't stand her sarcasm and said sternly, "I earned my fortune myself. I can give it to whoever I want. Do you have any say in this?"
Before An Ruoshu could even sit down, Wei Jingzhe pushed her so hard that she almost jumped up again.
Her face flushed with anger, and she shrieked, "You earned it?! If it weren't for our An family helping you back then, would you have had a chance to turn things around?"
Wei Jingzhe got angry when she called him like that. He threw the chopsticks in his hand, and the chopsticks jumped in front of Li Qingqing, scaring her.
"You really want to bring up the past, don't you?" he yelled. "Do you want me to list all your crimes from back then here?!"
Seeing that the situation was escalating, Wei Qingming hurried to grab An Ruoshu.
"Mom, please keep a low profile..."
Old Mrs. Wei finally had the chance to have a meal with her son and grandson, but before she even picked up her chopsticks, her own daughter-in-law made a huge fuss. Naturally, she was unhappy.
"Qingming's mother, I'm telling you to stop talking. You're the one who shouldn't be talking at this table."
When the old lady spoke, An Ruoshu's arrogance immediately subsided. She put away her hostility towards Wei Jingzhe and turned to look at Li Qingqing who was sitting next to him.
"What a coquettish girl, just like her mother."
An Ruoshu's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it just happened to reach Li Qingqing's ears.
Wei Qingming, who was standing next to her, also heard it. He reached out and pulled An Ruoshu's arm, with a "warning" look on his face.
Li Qingqing's expression froze. She put down her chopsticks and asked, suppressing her anger: "What did you just say?"
An Ruoshu saw that this little girl seemed to have a bad temper. She actually called the elder "you" when she met her for the first time, showing no respect for her at all. She was already unhappy and immediately exploded.
She slammed the table, pointed at Li Qingqing and cursed, "What an uneducated little girl! You're probably the type of person who has no one to support him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole table fell silent.
Wei Jingzhe stood up angrily and was about to explode, but was stopped by Li Qingqing.
"Uncle Wei, I'll come by myself."
Wei Jingzhe had to awkwardly retract his outstretched hand. Li Qingqing's words "Uncle Wei" instantly deflated him. He felt that if he jumped out and said something now, he would really become a real clown.
Old Mrs. Wei had never seen her son look so cowardly. When Wei Jingzhe went to the An family to seek financial assistance, he did not stoop to this level. She could not help but sigh that there is always someone better.
But given the current situation, she couldn't say anything. If she didn't let these two people vent their anger, it might cause even greater trouble in the future.
Li Qingqing looked at An Ruoshu sharply and fought back in a firm tone.
"Who is responsible for my life being left without anyone to support me? Do you need me to help you recall? How does it feel to indirectly kill someone, Mrs. Wei? Can you sleep at night? I guess you can't sleep, right? So you vent all this guilt in your diary, right?"
An Ruoshu was completely struck by her words, her eyes widened with anger, but she couldn't say a word.
Li Qingqing continued, "You acted calm and composed on the surface, but you were actually terrified, weren't you? Because you knew you were persecuting an innocent person, and you knew my mother was also a victim in that incident, but for the sake of your son, you still mercilessly killed us all, right?"
An Ruoshu was so angry that her face turned green, but she obviously no longer had the arrogant attitude she had just had. She didn't expect that this seemingly weak little girl could be so calm in the face of danger. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to insult her, but she didn't expect that she would point at her nose and criticize her.
Wei Jingzhe, who was standing by, also looked unhappy at the moment and sighed repeatedly. He had not expected that the lie he had made up would be exposed so quickly. Now he simply had no face to face his daughter again.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was about to reach a freezing point. An Ruoshu became more and more angry as she thought about being lectured in public by a junior. She was about to start cursing but was stopped by Wei Qingming.
"Mom, stop talking. It's our family that owes Aunt Li and Qingqing. I want to split the Wei family's property with her equally. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
An Ruoshu knew that she had no point in arguing with Li Qingqing, and she wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she saw her son in such a difficult situation, she restrained herself and turned around to persuade Wei Qingming.
"You're so stupid, Qingming! Mom did all this for you. How could you compromise so easily? The Wei family's property originally belonged to you alone. How could she have the right to compete with you?"
Wei Qingming looked at Wei Jingzhe who was sitting opposite him and said in a cold voice: "This is not a compromise, this is compensation."
"You don't have to use half of the Wei family's wealth as compensation. You will be the only heir to the Wei family in the future."
Wei Qingming no longer paid attention to An Ruoshu's dying breath, but stood up and walked to Li Qingqing, handing the share transfer contract on the table to her again.
"Sign it, Qingqing. This is what you deserve. I apologize to you for what my mother just said."
The dinner table fell into silence again. An Ruoshu looked at her son's actions and swallowed back all her words of persuasion.
In fact, she had advised her son more than once before, but he had never changed his mind. An Ruoshu knew that as long as Wei Qingming wanted to do this, no matter how much she advised him, it would be useless.
She came uninvited today simply because she was unwilling to do so.
Li Qingqing glanced at everyone at the table and found that no one came out to stop them.
She picked up the pen and signed her name without hesitation.
Wei Qingming handed one of the contracts to Li Qingqing and instructed her, "Keep it. After this meal, you will be a member of our Wei family. From now on, I will be your brother. If anyone bullies you, come to me and I will take care of it for you."
Li Qingqing couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she heard these words.
She felt an indescribable surge of emotion inside her. Is this what it feels like to have the protection of family?
