Chapter 845: Chapter 844: Heartache Chapter 845: Chapter 844: Heartache “Sister!” Tang Lan said weakly, “How can you still blame Wei Qin at a time ? How heartbroken he would be if he heard you say such things?”
“I…” Tang Qian opened her mouth to speak, but under the pressure of everyone’s stares, she couldn’t utter a word.
“Stop talking, sis. We all know what happened. So many people were watching! You’re an adult and yet you actually hit two children; that’s just too much.”
Even as her younger sister, she couldn’t stand it. Even if she disliked those two children, they were brought home by Wei Qin after all. She was stepping on Wei Qin’s dignity!
No wonder Wei Qin was so heartbroken.
Tang Lan couldn’t help but think of Jiang Nan Fei, who had previously annoyed her greatly. Back then, she blindly took her sister’s side and made things difficult for the young lady. Now, looking back, she felt extremely embarrassed.
The young lady had specially hired a costly designer to make a dress for her as a way to thank her husband; it was a gesture of pure sincerity, yet it ended up being used as a tool to attack someone else.
Sigh! If before Jiang Nan Fei had bore half the blame, now it appeared that the sister was the one entirely at fault.
Not even sparing her own son, the sister had changed.
Tang Qian saw disapproval and disappointment in her younger sister’s eyes, which sent a shock through her body, leaving her face in stunned silence for ages.
Jin Lifu patted Tang Lan on the shoulder, appreciative that she could see the true nature of the situation and hadn’t sided with her sister like she had done previously.
“Not to speak ill, but your sister probably wished deep down that Endo Minami would die.” Jin Lifu had spent most of his time with Wei Qin as a child, so he had long since come to regard Wei Qin as his own son.
Thus, Jin Lifu detested Tang Qian’s partiality the most and didn’t mince his words when he spoke.
“Wei Qin’s health was poor even as a child. Perhaps at first, your sister was saddened and distressed, but as time passed, for her, Wei Qin became like a hanging sword over her head. Since it’s bound to fall sooner or later, it’s better to be indifferent, better without attachment. It’s better if he dies sooner. That way, after Wei Qin’s death, she wouldn’t need to be sad.”
“If he died sooner, she could be relieved sooner.”
After Jin Lifu finished speaking, the entire corridor was silent as the grave. Even Tang Qian herself was agape in sheer astonishment, a wave of fear flooding her heart.
She wanted to deny it, to roar out loud, but for some reason, not a word would come out. And she even felt a vague sense of guilt.
Tang Qian was terrified by this word that had suddenly sprung to mind, trembling all over. Why would she feel guilty?
It was because Jin Lifu had hit upon the deepest, most secret thoughts of her heart.
The very thoughts that not even Tang Qian herself had ever consciously acknowledged.
In the end, Tang Qian covered her face with her hands, tears trickling down through her fingers. She never knew she could be so selfish; that was her own flesh and blood son!
How… How could she be so selfish?
Even Jin Lifu had noticed, so what about the sensitive and thoughtful Wei Qin?
He must have realized it even earlier and understood more deeply.
Little Wei Qin was different from ordinary children; he was frighteningly clever. She always felt that she was transparent in front of Wei Qin, which is why she harbored a concealed fear in her heart.
Wei Fangyi looked at his wife in shock, the heartbreak in his eyes beyond description. If not for an iron-will, he would have collapsed from the blow of this revelation.
