Chapter 634 Grasshoppers on the Same Rope
impossible.
Hearing this, Chen Wei lowered her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes concealing the expression in them: "Dad, I met with Auntie not for Sang Ruo's sake. Can you please stop hurting your family for the sake of outsiders?"
No matter how wrong my aunt is, she is still her family, a member of the Chen family.
Why is Dad always so harsh on Aunt?
Why is he so kind to Sang Ruo, an outsider?
"Xiao Wei, have you forgotten what your aunt did to you last time?" Chen Hui didn't know how she had gotten involved with Chen Fangyue again: "Your aunt is capable of betraying the interests of our Chen family for her precious son."
"I warned you not to associate with your aunt anymore, but you ignored me?!"
No matter how much I try to reason with him, he won't listen. What else do I have to do to get him to listen?
And then there's Chen Fangyue. He's been busy with work lately and hasn't had much time to deal with her, so she's set her sights on Xiao Wei again? Is she determined to drag Xiao Wei down with her?
Chen Wei's expression immediately turned somewhat aggrieved: "Dad, I really didn't. I've already said that my meeting with Aunt wasn't because of Sang Ruo, why don't you believe me?"
She was really wronged.
What was a very ordinary meeting between her and her aunt turned into an affair in her father's eyes.
She's also feeling wronged, okay?
"Then tell me, if it wasn't because of Sang Ruo, then what was it because of you meeting your aunt?!" Chen Hui's expression was cold and sharp, his tone as if coated with a thin layer of ice: "If you don't give me a reason, you can forget about resting today!"
They kept insisting it wasn't true, but couldn't even come up with a single reason.
How could he possibly trust her?!
Chen Wei knew she couldn't avoid it: "Okay, I'll talk. I met with my aunt to talk about reducing my cousin's sentence. My aunt has been preparing to appeal recently, hoping to get my cousin's sentence lighter. I felt sorry for my aunt, so I helped her."
"Dad, if you don't believe me, you can go and ask Auntie directly, and you'll know whether what I said is true or not."
Anyway, her aunt will definitely cover for her.
After all, they are in the same boat; if something happens to her, her aunt will also suffer the consequences.
“Xiaowei, I know that your mother’s early death left you without maternal love at a young age, so Dad has been trying to make up for that missing part of you.”
Chen Hui's gaze softened considerably as he looked at his daughter: "But Xiao Wei, you can't cover for your aunt because of this. That's unfair to others."
The most important principle of the law is fairness and impartiality.
If he can't even be fair and impartial, then what right does he have to sit in this position? And how can he be worthy of the uniform he wears?
Chen Wei didn't say anything, but she tightened her grip on the car keys, almost crushing them.
Dad was right about one thing.
She was looking for her mother's shadow in her aunt.
Her mother died early, and she never experienced maternal love growing up. Her father acted as both mother and father, but no matter how much he tried to make up for it, he could never compare to a real mother and could not fill the void in her heart.
How could she not know that Sang Ruo was innocent?
However, her cousin did go to jail because of Sang Ruo, so it was inevitable that her aunt would hate her. All she could do was secretly make amends to Sang Ruo.
She knew that doing this would be unfair to Sang Ruo, but her aunt was closer to her than Sang Ruo, after all, they were family members living under the same roof.
She couldn't just abandon her aunt.
“Dad, I understand what you mean, but the explosion at the clinic really has nothing to do with me.”
Chen Wei couldn't help but explain herself: "I really didn't do this. Think about it, Sang Ruo is my friend. I worked so hard to rebuild this friendship, why would I play the villain?"
Chen Hui stared quietly at his daughter, seemingly trying to discern the truth in her words: "Xiao Wei, I believe what you're saying is true, but if you've really gotten involved, please withdraw immediately!"
"Dad isn't exaggerating; he's teaching you to distinguish right from wrong and not to be blindly tolerant of your family while ignoring the truth. Otherwise, what you've tolerated will eventually become the knife that plunges you into the abyss."
He believed that this matter had nothing to do with Xiaowei, but he did not believe that Xiaowei would be completely unaware of it.
She knew more or less about it, but she was unwilling to admit it.
Chen Wei remained standing silently, saying nothing, but the fleeting gloom in her eyes betrayed her thoughts: "I understand."
"Dad, I'm really tired. Can I go and rest now?"
"Go."
Chen Wei then left the living room and went upstairs. However, Chen Wei did not know that Chen Hui had followed her closely as soon as she entered the room.
He simply stood at the door without opening it, listening quietly through the door.
After returning to her room, Chen Wei quickly called Chen Fangyue: "Hey, Auntie, Dad came to see me today and told me to stay away from you. Someone found out about our meeting."
"What? Someone found out?" Upon hearing this, Chen Fangyue immediately sat up, frowning. "Who found out? How come I had no idea?"
The aunt and niece always kept their meetings very secret, and few people knew about them, not even Chen Hui.
How did they manage to find out? What went wrong?
Chen Wei was also puzzled: "I don't know either. I was also very surprised when I heard the news. Aunt, you have no idea, I almost got caught in front of my dad just now."
Fortunately, she persevered, which prevented her father from finding out.
If her father finds out that she has been secretly seeing her aunt, he will definitely be angry.
She was caught in the middle, torn between her aunt and her friend.
"Your father didn't find anything, did he?" Chen Fangyue couldn't help but ask.
Chen Wei shook her head: "He probably hasn't found out. But Aunt, Dad is very angry today. Isn't what you're doing too risky? If Dad finds out, you'll be in danger too."
It's uncertain whether Dad will protect Aunt at that time.
Not to mention Bo Jinzhou, who has already been sentenced, his release is even more distant.
"Xiaowei, don't worry, your aunt will be fine." Chen Fangyue couldn't help but sneer, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness: "You just need to say a few good words for your aunt to your father to stabilize the situation, and that will be enough."
As for other things, she doesn't need to worry about them at all.
She can handle it all by herself.
