I will make sure he never gets over it!
The vicious expression on Wei Lingcheng's face when he said this remained deep in Cheng Maixiang's memory even after a long time, making her feel creepy whenever she thought about it.
Even if she didn't deliberately inquire about it, Cheng Maixiang's ears were eventually reached by word of the Wei family's affairs.
The three people who kidnapped her and Lin Qingwan were thrown into prison. Two of them were sentenced to life imprisonment. The one who was threatened by Cheng Maixiang was willing to cooperate with Wei Lingcheng and revealed the mastermind. He was considered to have made meritorious service and was sentenced to only ten years, which was considered leniency from Wei Lingcheng.
As Cheng Maixiang expected, this kidnapping case became an indelible black mark on the Wei family. They were mocked by people of the same class. Old Master Wei was almost heartbroken and announced that he would no longer be involved in the Wei family's affairs. From then on, all the power of the Wei family was handed over to Wei Lingcheng.
Wei Lingcheng's elder brother, the one who caused others to commit the kidnapping, was still thrown into a mental hospital in the provincial capital by Wei Lingcheng on the grounds of poor physical and mental health, despite being protected by Mr. Wei, and someone was sent to take care of him long-term.
Cheng Maixiang understood that in this power struggle, Wei Lingcheng's elder brother was defeated. In name, he was going there for recuperation, but in reality, he was directly placed under house arrest. This was not much different from being in prison for the rest of his life, except that the conditions of the place where he lived were better than in prison, and he had someone to serve him.
But this is under the premise that Grandpa Wei is still alive. It is unknown how Wei Lingcheng will deal with his good brother a hundred years after the old man passes away. If he considers the relationship between them, maybe his life will be a little better. If Wei Lingcheng is a cruel and ruthless person, he can only wish for the best for himself.
However, judging from Wei Lingcheng's current style of doing things, the latter is probably more likely. Moreover, Cheng Maixiang seriously suspects that the reason why the old man retreated so quickly was probably because he used this to exchange with Wei Lingcheng, which completely saved his eldest son from going to jail.
"Wei Lingcheng is incredibly cunning, and my eldest sister is practically clueless. Why did your parents marry her to Wei Lingcheng in the first place?"
These days, although Lin Jiayu was reluctant, Cheng Maixiang kept discussing the Wei family's affairs with him.
This is not Cheng Maixiang's fault. Ever since Wei Lingcheng overthrew his eldest brother, he has been running to the Lin family every few days, thinking of bringing his wife and daughter back to live with the Wei family. When he learned that Yingying lived in the countryside, he went to Shuangshui Village to see Yingying every few days, which made Cheng's mother very annoyed.
Neither Cheng's mother nor Cheng Maiqing had a good impression of Wei Lingcheng. After all, their daughter was kidnapped because of him. The two of them only found out about it afterwards and were scared to death, especially Cheng's mother, whose legs went weak with fear and she almost fainted.
Unexpectedly, Wei Lingcheng was cruel to his enemies, but he was very humble in front of the Cheng family. No matter how Cheng's mother didn't look at him well, he greeted her with a smile and called her "Auntie" all the time, which made Cheng's mother helpless. After all, you shouldn't hit a smiling person.
The adults didn't dare to say anything, but Qiaomai was a hot-tempered person. She had known about Yingying's experience for a long time, and also knew that Cheng Maixiang was implicated by him. She pointed at him and scolded him on the spot without caring about anything. The people around Wei Lingcheng turned pale when they heard it, but Wei Lingcheng was not angry at all. Instead, he thanked her for taking care of Yingying.
This made Cheng Maixiang even more amazed at this person's scheming, which triggered her previous questions and emotions.
"Our Lin family and the Wei family are old friends, and my father and Old Master Wei are also good friends. When the two families were in the provincial capital, my parents married my sister to them because they knew each other well.
But unexpectedly, not long after they got married, my parents accepted a task to build a steel plant in Linwen County. Later, my parents unfortunately passed away at an early age, and Wei Lingcheng sent my eldest sister back home.
Cheng Maixiang lowered her head in thought for a long while, and finally couldn't help asking, "How much did he believe what your eldest sister said?"
After the kidnapping, Wei Lingcheng kept explaining to Lin Qingwan and Lin Jiayu that the reason he had driven Lin Qingwan and her daughter back to the Lin family was because he was fighting for power with his eldest brother and was temporarily at a disadvantage. He was afraid that he could not protect the mother and daughter, so he cruelly drove them away. Only when they were out of his eldest brother's sight could they be safe.
"Humph, I don't bother to listen to any of his nonsense. I don't believe a single word he says. Stop pretending in front of me. No matter how hard you try to disguise yourself, you can't turn a fox into a sheep."
Cheng Maixiang burst out laughing. Lin Jiayu's metaphor was absolutely perfect. Wei Lingcheng was a fox, treacherous by nature, cunning and hard to guess. Perhaps only such a person could gain the upper hand in such a complicated family feud.
However, Cheng Maixiang did not deny Wei Lingcheng's words, which were somewhat true. He could hardly protect himself at the beginning, and Lin Qingwan was under his eldest brother's nose every day, so it was hard to guarantee that she would not cause trouble.
No matter what Wei Lingcheng's original plan was, Cheng Maixiang believed that he still had some true feelings for his wife and daughter, otherwise he would not have never stopped supporting their expenses over the years. In these days, there is no such thing as alimony and compensation for mental damages.
As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw the familiar bicycle, and Lin Jiayu's face involuntarily became gloomy.
A few days ago, Wei Lingcheng always came to the Lin family by car, causing people in the area to come out to watch the fun. Lin Jiayu was so angry that he scolded Wei Lingcheng and told him to stop causing trouble for the Lin family.
Wei Lingcheng is also a wonderful person. He didn't say anything in front of Lin Jiayu, but the next day he rode a bicycle here alone. Since then, he has been doing this, leaving Lin Jiayu speechless.
Cheng Maixiang shook his hand and told him not to be angry, let alone lose his temper. After all, if there were endless quarrels at home every day, even if she was not afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors, she would not be able to bear it.
"Sister, we're back!"
