Wei Chen followed Wei Chengzhi into the flower hall with an expressionless face, while Lei Zhan followed behind Wei Chen, staring at Wei Yan and Wu Mei with his wolf eyes, full of deterrence, as if they would be torn to pieces immediately if they made any improper moves.
Wei Yan's hurt look fell into Wu Mei's eyes, but instead of getting her comfort, it caused even louder laughter.
The shrill laughter made Wei Chengzhi frown.
"You want to see me?" Wei Chengzhi asked, "What's the matter?"
Still so cold and emotionless...
Wei Chengzhi's tone shattered the hope in Wei Yan's heart again, "Dad..."
Wei Chengzhi sat down on a chair some distance away from the mother and son, while Wei Chen stood at the door, leaning lazily against the wall.
Wei Yan glanced at Wei Chen, took a deep breath, and continued, "Dad... I was wrong, please forgive me. I don't want anything anymore, not even the property or the status of heir. As long as you can forgive me, I only ask you to forgive me!"
Wei Chengzhi looked at Wei Yan deeply, and after a long while, he sighed softly, his tone softening a little, "Yan'er, I can tolerate the mistakes you made due to your limited ability, I can tolerate the little tricks you used to consolidate your position, I can even..."
Looking at Wei Yan, Wei Chengzhi paused, then changed the subject and continued, "But I can't forgive you this time, because you want to kill Achen, and even kill me, so I can't forgive you."
"Achen... Achen..." Wei Yan repeated Wei Chen's nickname and suddenly burst out, "Is that idiot the only one in your heart now?"
Wei Chen frowned, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes as he looked at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan no longer knew what fear was, nor did he care about those things. He had completely collapsed, "Oh, I forgot, he's not a fool, I am! I'm the biggest fool! Dad, I'm your son too, do you remember? Do you remember how you treated Wei Chen before? So, now that you see he's not stupid anymore, you want to reuse him and abandon me? Abandon me like you abandoned him before!"
Wei Yan's words were like a dagger, and every one of them pierced Wei Chengzhi's heart.
He covered his heart and was speechless for a long time.
Wei Chen frowned, "Go call Gu Lishen over!"
"No need, Achen..." Wei Chengzhi waved his hand in Wei Chen's direction and adjusted his breathing.
Wei Chen stared at Wei Chengzhi, and when he saw him slowly returning to normal, his frown gradually relaxed.
Wei Chengzhi adjusted his breathing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said weakly, "I am indeed sorry for Achen. I shouldn't have been so indifferent to him all these years. I vented my resentment for losing Wu Jing on the innocent Achen. I regret it very much and feel guilty. But, Yan'er... I have never done anything wrong to you, even... cough cough... even if you are not my biological son..."
In one sentence, it was like a bolt of lightning, striking Wei Yan directly.
"What did you say? I'm not your son? How is that possible? We clearly have a paternity test, and I am your biological son. Everyone has seen it, how could I not be!" Wei Yan roared in despair. He walked towards Wu Mei and grabbed her, "Mom, you said I am Dad's biological son, that's what you said!"
Wu Mei laughed crazily. She glanced at Wei Yan fiercely, then at Wei Chengzhi, "Yan'er, you're not! You're really not! Haha, I'm only one step away from getting everything from the Wei family. Wei Chengzhi, you're lucky! You're lucky!"
