Qingran felt a chill run through her body.
"Ah Sui!" Qing Ran raised her voice, "The Shouwu Research Institute has shares held by the Gu family. The eldest son of the Ziya family and the young master Zhou are not simple people either."
Ziya Jingmo, at a young age, has already taken charge of the Ziya family and controls the He Shou Wu Research Institute.
Zhou Zhi, the head of the Shouwu Research Institute, Hua Yueli's beloved daughter, and the current head of the Hua family!
Moreover, both of them were from the elite academy at the time. If you offend them, there will be endless troubles!
Wei Sheng Sui laughed, “Hahaha,” covering his face with his wide sleeves, “I was just talking about feasibility. When did A Ran become so timid?” His eyebrows curved, and his eyes sparkled like a starry river.
At that moment, Wei Shengsui and Wei Shengxi seemed remarkably similar.
Qingran knew that Wei Shengsui wasn't joking; he genuinely wanted to do it!
“Ah Sui,” Qing Ran stepped forward, “Flanda has been gone for many years. How many years will you remain silent about the past? In all these years, have you ever stopped resenting Xi Ge’er?”
"Xi Ge'er is, after all, your and Flanda's biological son! If Flanda were still alive, she would never want to see you treat Xi Ge'er like this!"
Qingran knew better than anyone else Wei Shengsui's attitude towards Wei Shengxi.
He could only do his best to be nicer to Wei Shengxi in order to make up for the lack of paternal and maternal love he received.
When he sees a child with a face that looks remarkably like his own suffering, who knows how much he is going through?
Wei Sheng Sui tilted his head, the smile gone from his eyes. "If I could, I wish he had never been born! If I could go back to the beginning, I would rather have my tubes tied earlier. The Wei Sheng family has no shortage of sons, nor of heirs."
Her voice was icy and chilling; to her only son, Wei Shengsui, she felt only hatred, not love.
Qingran seemed frozen, and after a long while she finally spoke, her eyes slightly red, "A-Sui, Xi-ge'er is not your experimental subject. You tortured him like that, letting Wei Shengxu develop feelings for him. Did you ever think about how much he adored you?"
The person in front of me has changed so much.
He couldn't believe it; this was once the shining pearl of the two stars of the capital!
The little dumpling carefully took his hand and asked when his father would come to see him.
If he doesn't cry when he gets his injection, will his father come to see him?
If he doesn't cause trouble and is obedient, will his father treat him the same way he treats his older brother and Jun?
Those clear blue eyes were filled with longing for her father and yearning for his love.
Wei Shengxi was injected with the drug, and his health plummeted. Qing Ran was always by his bedside.
Wei Shengsui's father could only shake his head and say, "The medicine hasn't fully worked yet; we'll try to improve it next time."
As a child, Wei Shengxi would crave his father's love, but he gradually learned that some things are unattainable and should not be forced.
Later, Wei Shengxi entered the Elite Academy, and the already weak father-son relationship with Wei Shengsui almost completely disappeared.
Wei Sheng Sui chuckled softly, "I gave him life, allowing him to be born, yet he took away my beloved. Is this what they mean by 'rumu' (a term of endearment)?"
It's driven by sheer prejudice and has absolutely no logic to it!
"I didn't kill him, did I?"
Wei Sheng Sui twirled the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, "A Ran, I copied Buddhist scriptures and knelt down to recite them, only praying that my Frenda could come back, not be reincarnated."
"I would give anything, if only my Frenda could come back."
"So many years have passed, things have changed, the wolf cub has become the wolf king, but my Frenda can only lie in that cold place."
"And on what basis?"
“I even ask myself why I agreed to let Frenda get pregnant back then, when Wei Shengxu had already been born. Why did I need another child? I could have just raised Wei Shengxu well.”
"A cluster of fragrant lilies, a trellis of pink that lasts a year. Frenda is like a blooming lily, sacred and pure. She should not have withered at such a beautiful age."
Wei Shengsui's tone was already somewhat manic as he gripped Qingran's hand tightly. "Aran, do you remember? Flanda loved lotus flower pastries the most, as did I, and you too. Every time Flanda made lotus flower pastries, the three of us would fight over them."
"The lotus-shaped pastry is incredibly crispy and fragrant, making it the perfect treat for summer."
“It’s already summer, and Frenda usually starts making lotus flower pastries around this time of year.”
Qingran felt a sharp pain from his grip, but her heart felt even colder.
“Ah Sui, Frenda wouldn’t want you to be like this.”
She was a kind and pure girl. If she were still alive, would she want to see Wei Shengsui in such a state of madness? Would she want her son to suffer a fate worse than death?
Mentioning Frenda, Wei Shengsui seemed to come back to his senses, "Aran, there is someone who is very similar to Frenda, and also like that pure lily."
Qing Ran frowned, but he knew clearly that Wei Sheng Sui would never seek a substitute.
"And he also loved lotus flower pastries, but he was a little short of loving lilies; he was a little short of being excessively extravagant; and he was a little short of being extremely arrogant."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qingran knew who Weishengsui was talking about!
In the entire capital, words like arrogant and extravagant are only fitting to describe the Fifth Master of the Shen family!
Wei Shengsui saw Qingran's eyes narrow and his lips curve into a wider smile. "The Morgan family deserves what they got. It's just a pity that the oleander was snatched away by the eldest son before it could even be used."
There was a hint of regret in his words.
"That child was very spoiled and kind. He founded the Sprout Foundation. Sprout, meaning new growth or budding, represents new life. He wanted to give new life to the flowers that had fallen from their branches and into the mud. He's just like Flandado."
"Although he was a bit spoiled, his original intention was good."
"Just like Frenda, although she can be a little temperamental with me, she is also very lovable and never delays when it comes to important matters. She is also very kind and often sponsors children in need."
"If it weren't for the timing discrepancy, I would have thought that it was my Frenda reincarnated."
"But then I thought about it carefully, how could Frenda be reincarnated? I've prayed to Buddha for so many years and imprisoned Frenda's body, how could she be reincarnated?"
Wei Sheng never says "corpse".
Qingran's eyes flickered slightly. He had no idea that Wei Shengsui viewed Shen Bei'an in this way!
No wonder Wei Shengsui, who usually doesn't interact with the Morgan family, suddenly sent some gifts; it turned out he had prepared oleander juice.
"Fifth Master Shen will always be Fifth Master Shen; he is no one else." Qingran grasped Wei Shengsui's hand in return. "A-Sui, so many years have passed; it's time for you to wake up. Time flies! Why must you keep making life so unbearable for Franda!"
In that instant, time seemed to stand still.
Qingran was knocked to the ground, then slowly got up. He slightly hooked his right index finger, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and straightened his robes. "A-Sui, you know better than anyone else, you just don't want to accept it."
Having said that, he turned and left, leaving Wei Shengsui alone in the hall.
