Before resting, Wei Chengzhi went to see Zhu Xiang. After he learned that it was Wei Yan who broke Wu Jing's vase and put the blame on Wei Chen, there was still one thing about Wu Jing that he was eager to understand.
Zhu Xiang, Daqiang and others were held in a warehouse by Lei Zhan's men. His forehead was covered with sweat. Looking at those desperate criminals who were beaten to a pulp, his body was shaking constantly. Cold sweat had soaked his clothes. He was worried that he would become like that.
The warehouse door slowly opened and Wei Chengzhi walked in with a tired look on his face.
Zhu Xiang crawled to Wei Chengzhi's feet, grabbed his trouser legs, and begged, "Chairman, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I really know I was wrong!"
Wei Chengzhi's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Why are you all apologizing to me today? I, Wei Chengzhi, have never wronged anyone. No, I've wronged Achen. Apart from him, I haven't wronged anyone. I haven't made any mistakes based on principle, and I haven't done anything that is against the will of heaven or morality. Why are you all picking on me? Even you, Lao Zhu, you betrayed me."
Zhu Xiang lay on the ground and cried bitterly, "Chairman, I really know I was wrong. I was bewildered. You promoted Sister He, and I felt uncomfortable, so I... I..."
"Don't you know why I prioritize Sister He?"
"Understood! Understood!" Zhu Xiang nodded, his eyes filled with regret. "Chairman, I regret this. I regretted it the moment I agreed to Wu Mei's request, so I didn't put all the medicine in the tea. I kept half..."
If Zhu Xiang had given Wei Chengzhi the medicine that triggered the heart disease, he would have died long ago and would not have been able to wait for Ye Qin's injection of life-saving medicine.
At this point, Wei Chengzhi no longer wanted to know. It made no difference to him whether he had given half the medicine or all of it. Zhu Xiang had betrayed him after all. "Don't worry, I won't punish you privately. You won't become like those desperadoes. But I will make sure you receive the legal punishment you deserve, along with Wu Mei and Wei Yan."
Zhu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then he fell to the ground and burst into tears.
So, sometimes a single decision can truly impact a lifetime. If Zhu Xiang hadn't helped Wu Mei, he wouldn't have spent the rest of his life in prison. Aunt He would have allowed him to stay in the Wei family. Although he couldn't be the housekeeper anymore, he could still be considered an assistant. Even if he no longer worked for the Wei family, his experience as a housekeeper there would have been more than enough for him to work for other wealthy families.
But, people are always greedy...
Wei Chengzhi took a deep breath. "Zhu Xiang, I only want to ask you one question. Was it really Ah Chen who destroyed Wu Jing's tombstone back then?"
This incident has always been on Wei Chengzhi's mind. The destruction of the tombstone of his beloved woman was like another stab in his heart, causing him to lose his mind.
However, at that time, almost everyone insisted that it was Wei Chen who broke the tombstone, which led to a complete breakdown in the relationship between father and son.
Zhu Xiang trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to look up. "No... It wasn't the young master. Wu Mei deliberately destroyed it... Afterwards, she put the blame on the young master..."
After saying this, Zhu Xiang didn't dare to look up anymore, because he clearly felt the extreme anger coming from Wei Chengzhi.
Everyone in the Wei family knew what Wu Jing meant to Wei Chengzhi, and they also knew that the destruction of Wu Jing's tombstone was the reason why Wei Chengzhi completely hated Wei Chen.
In the end, they found out that it was not Wei Chen who destroyed the tombstone, but these people had insisted that it was him. One can imagine how angry Wei Chengzhi was.
Zhu Xiang trembled even more violently, "Chairman... I was also forced by Wu Mei..."
Wei Chengzhi took a deep breath, said nothing, and turned to leave the warehouse.
Zhu Xiang collapsed on the ground, howling. It was only at this moment that he finally realized how wrong he had been. His employer from the beginning to the end was Wei Chengzhi, but he had always been loyal to Wu Mei...
If he could stand neutrally on Wei Chengzhi's side, the outcome would be different now.
