Chapter 729: Chapter 728: Deliberately Getting Hurt_1 Chapter 729: Chapter 728: Deliberately Getting Hurt_1 Tang Qian stammered, “Wei Qin, could you have misheard? Dongxin was humiliated by the canceled engagement, and now Wei An has been bullied. Not only didn’t Fang Yi protect his own family, he even cursed at us. People are rare to find.”
Wei Qin massaged his temples in fatigue. He had long said his family had been utterly bewildered and didn’t even know who they were anymore.
It’s always impossible to reason with those who are not lucid.
“You all continue, I have things to do.” He couldn’t bear to stay in this environment for even a minute longer.
Everyone waited for him to leave before turning the living room into a noisy chaos again. Wei Fangyi made a statement, clearly drawing a conclusion, “Enough! Stop arguing, wasn’t it clear enough what was just said? Wei An fell down by himself, who else is there to blame?”
“There are no ‘buts’!” Wei Fangyi was in the middle of a meeting when he was called out, and there were numerous things waiting for him at the department. He didn’t want to stay here any longer and left with his entourage.
Seeing everyone arguing , Tang Lan didn’t feel like sticking around either and simply left as well.
In the end, only Wei Shufen, Tang Lan, and Wei An were left in the living room.
“Sister-in-law, go make something for Wei An to eat, the child has become skinny.”
Tang Qian was reluctant to go, but seeing her son hurt , her heart ached so she went to the kitchen with the maid. When everyone had gone away, Wei Shufen could no longer hold back her tears, she took Wei An into her arms and said with great distress, “You silly child, why are you so foolish? All I asked was for you to fake a minor injury so you could come back, but you actually hurt yourself so severely.”
“Auntie, I didn’t expect it to end up .” Wei An looked at Wei Shufen cautiously, “Auntie, you won’t tell my parents, will you? I really don’t want to go to the military for training.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell them. I can’t bear to see you suffer in the military either.”
“Auntie, you’re really good to me.” Wei An said, and then threw himself into Wei Shufen’s arms, “Auntie, I promise to take good care of you when I grow up.”
This was music to Wei Shufen’s ears, and she couldn’t stop smiling.
Wei Qin stepped out of his home, went nowhere, merely sat down on a chair under a tree not far from the house entrance to enjoy the cool. These days, he didn’t use his wheelchair frequently. Even though he didn’t walk much every day, it was still beyond his physical capacity, which made him much more mentally exhausted than before.
Leaning on the chair, his eyes half-closed, he felt a little drowsy.
Not far away was a small square where a bunch of children from the compound were playing a game of “Eagle Catching Chicks”, their noise preventing him from sleeping. His secretary, Little Wang, rushed home to fetch a knitted sweater for him. He wanted to say something, but considering the situation at home and knowing that Wei Qin was feeling upset, he refrained from urging him to go back and sleep.
“Just call me by my name.” He didn’t like people giving him titles, he was just Wei Qin. He liked people to call him directly by his name, which made him feel alive.
It also gave him the feeling that when he died one day, at least someone would remember that there had been a person named Wei Qin.
Little Wang had been with Wei Qin for several years, caring for him closely for so long, the relationship had deepened. Seeing Wei Qin’s mental state deteriorating day by day, he felt anxious. Moreover, he vaguely felt that the rapid decline in Wei Qin’s spirits had much to do with his home.
Wei Qin had done so much for the country and the Wei Family, yet Tang Qian had never appreciated her eldest son.
All her younger son, Wei An, knew was how to cause trouble and backtalk.
