Old Yuan compromised and made concessions, and Wu Wei stepped aside in surprise to welcome him into the living room.
The living room, furnished with purple ebony armchairs and a coffee table, is filled with the warmth of four people sitting in the armchairs drinking tea, their enthusiasm enveloping the small space.
After several encouraging glances from Lao Yuan, Tian Juan held the teacup that Wu Wei had personally brewed and handed to her, and said emotionally, "Wei'er, Mom is so sorry..."
"No, you're not letting down your daughter, me!"
Do you know, I, your own daughter, have no right to resent you, my own mother, and I can accept your infatuation with Lao Yuan and your forgetting of my feelings.
Is the blockade preventing me from facing my adoptive mother, Fu Qingyao, and Zheng Ya?
"You've wronged Zheng Ya! How am I supposed to face her and her son?" Wu Wei regretted her life after learning about her true identity and matured overnight.
It seems they have experienced the emotional impact of Fu Qingyao's hair turning white overnight because of love.
That night, she also hated her biological mother, Tian Juan, for not saying a word to her all these years, not even occasionally showing concern!
But no, not even once!
She found it hard to accept that he was just watching her silently.
Later, she realized that it was Tian Juan's unique way of showing love to her biological daughter, keeping it all bottled up inside and bearing it alone.
I could never bear to disturb her and her adoptive mother's peaceful and harmonious life.
Because that was the life Tian Juan hoped her daughter would want to live, Tian Juan couldn't bear to disturb her daughter's happy life.
Once she understood, Wu Wei forgave her birth mother Tian Juan for this special kind of love.
But Wu Wei was in pain again.
The painful dilemma lies in the way her biological mother, Tian Juan, raised Zheng Ya. She feels that she enjoyed the maternal love that should have belonged to Zheng Ya, while Zheng Ya suffered everything that she should have suffered. This is unfair!
Having been taught principles and to abide by the law by Fu Qingyao since childhood, Wu Wei simply couldn't accept this reality. She felt she owed the Zheng family far too much!
Wasn't Zheng Daotong's death also caused by his own family members?
Her own family had brought disaster to the Zheng family, never offering them a single benefit. This completely shattered Wu Wei's principles, discipline, and sense of law, leaving her unsure how to repay the Zheng family.
Although she figured out many things that she might never have understood in her entire life that night, she was also confused!
How can we repay the Zheng family for what they have done for us?
At the beginning, Wu Wei caused Zheng Ya harm, and Zheng Ya didn't care about her repaying him.
Currently, Zheng Ya's planting base is thriving and has gained recognition and attention from higher-level leaders, so she doesn't need to do anything.
This made Wu Wei feel guilty, as she had no way to repay the kindness she had shown!
After listening to Lao Yuan's analysis of these issues, Tian Juan said guiltily, "You're right, the person I'm most sorry for is Zheng Ya!"
I owe Zheng Ya a mother's loving care, a responsibility to raise her, and a sense of family duty!
I missed out, I misplaced my trust, I lost so much, and I can never make up for it in this lifetime. I have no face to see him again and cause him another kind of harm.
Therefore, your father and I have discussed it and decided to keep a close eye on Zheng Ya from a distance, and take some time to see Fu Qingyao to say goodbye!
Mom also asked her to raise Xiaoya, and not to let Xiaoya live in seclusion with Mom and your dad, as that would be detrimental to Xiaoya's healthy development.
But doing this still leaves the Zheng family far too indebted!
Mom will bear all the blame. Mom only hopes that you can find someone you love, live a good life, and not have to suffer everything for your parents!
That wasn't your fault, Mom is so sorry..."
"Mom, stop talking. All the mistakes were made by Lao Yuan. Let him bear them alone!" Wu Wei threw herself into her mother's arms and said indignantly, suddenly understanding her birth mother's feelings.
The deeper the love, the harsher the criticism; those who haven't experienced it can hardly understand!
With tears welling up in his eyes, Old Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'll find a way to make it up to you."
There's still a month until my return. During this time, I will help you eliminate all potential threats.
Let me do what I can to express my gratitude!
"Old Yuan, you shouldn't keep things from Zheng Ya. Catering to his preferences and passing on your martial arts techniques and moves won't have any impact on you."
But it will greatly benefit his martial arts, and he will make good use of your martial arts to contribute to the country and the people. Isn't that the best way to make up for it? Wu Wei had a crazy idea to sell her father out, and she was siding with outsiders.
Old Yuan shook his head vigorously: "Girl, you underestimate Zheng Ya!"
That kid has the ability to see through anyone, except for me, a martial arts grandmaster, whom he cannot see through with his mental will.
Therefore, I plan to teach you martial arts before I leave, so that Zheng Ya can secretly learn it. It will be good for both of you!
I, Old Yuan, owe the Zheng family a debt, so I'll make amends in a rather discreet way!
"You're making amends to them out of guilt, making them feel superior, which makes both of you feel comfortable. That's a refined approach, not bad!" Wu Wei could tell that this Old Yuan was not bad.
His character is impeccable, almost passing the test.
Old Yuan didn't mind his clever daughter's lack of manners; on the contrary, he enjoyed it: "Girl, the fact that you can see that shows that you've made a lot of progress in understanding human nature."
That way, your mother and I can leave with peace of mind.
"Tch, you all treat me like I don't exist, I'm angry!" Zheng Xiaoya put down her teacup in dissatisfaction, crossed her arms, and looked up at the window outside, sulking.
Zheng Xiaoya, who is almost thirteen years old, is not an ignorant child.
Although Zheng Xiaoya was basically raised by Tian Juan, it was precisely because of this that Zheng Xiaoya matured several years earlier than anyone else.
Suddenly returning to her hometown from school, she had to say goodbye to her own mother, leaving her unsure of what to do.
Her older sister Wu Wei was her half-sister, and her older brother Zheng Ya was her half-brother. She wasn't close to any of them!
The key question is, who should one be close to when caught in the middle?
Just as her classmate commented, "A child without a mother or a father, no one knows what she wants."
Tian Juan comforted her helplessly, "Xiaoya, you're a big girl now, it's time to learn to be independent and self-reliant!"
"Fine, fine, you can go. I'll be fine after I've vented my anger. You don't need to worry about me." Zheng Xiaoya forced herself to remain calm, playing the part of a little adult who didn't care.
Wu Wei smiled and said, "Xiaoya, will you live with your sister from now on?"
"Hmm, that depends on whether you, as my older sister, have the ability to take care of me. My requirements are quite high!" Zheng Xiaoya began to scheme.
During her rebellious phase, Wu Wei smiled and a single word popped into her head: "Okay, tell me what you think?"
"This is not something to be taken lightly. I'm going to have you and my brother have a match. Whoever wins, I'll play against them."
The strong are born to dominate the weak; I only believe in the strong!
"Only the strong can help me improve and give me the right to pursue. You, for now, are not qualified!" Zheng Xiaoya's words were shocking, making Wu Wei feel embarrassed and angry.
The key is that he can't compare to Zheng Ya in anything, so how could he not be angry?
Isn't this saying she's weak, or that she's inferior to Zheng Ya, and that's a slap in the face?
"I can't stand it," Wu Wei said angrily. "Little girl, are you asking for a beating?"
"You want to spar with me?" Zheng Xiaoya stood up, adopted a Tai Chi stance, and challenged him to a fight...
