Zuo Weiyi did not know how to answer this question. Her heart was already in so much pain.
How should she answer?
Should she say that she was arguing with the little girl’s mother at that time? Should she say that she could not break free because she was being pulled by her?
These were answers that even she could not accept.
“Sister-in-law, tell me…tell me what you were doing at that time…why didn’t you save my mother in that few minutes?” Shi Nuannuan’s heart was also in extreme pain. She wanted an answer, an answer that could prove that her sister-in-law didn’t leave her mother to die.
It was because she couldn’t accept and believe such a fact.
She cried her heart out, and it hurt Zuo Weiyi’s heart.
She stood where she was, unable to answer this question. The answer…if she said it out loud, Nuannuan would probably hate her even more, right?
Just to argue over something that was not important as she left Shen Lanzhi in such a dangerous situation—her answer would only be an excuse.
“Sister-in-law, why aren’t you saying anything…Tell me that you went to save Mommy. Tell me that you didn’t have the time…”
By not saying anything, she’s basically tacitly admitting to everything. Shi Nuannuan grew more certain of the answer in her heart.
In those few minutes, did she just watch as her mother sat in the car, waiting for the explosion to happen?
Everyone was waiting for her answer, but she chose to remain silent.
Zuo Yi could not help but walk over. Despite hearing the truth, he refused to believe it. His granddaughter is an honest and kind person. How could she leave her mother-in-law in the car?
He would not believe it. She must have been caught up in something that prevented her from rushing to the car to save Shen Lanzhi.
“Weiyi, tell Grandpa what you were doing during those few minutes. Grandpa doesn’t believe that you’re someone who would just let someone else die. There’s no reason for you not to save your own mother-in-law!”
Zuo Weiyi slowly looked up at her grandfather.
Yes, there was no reason for her not to save her mother-in-law. In their hearts, that was what they thought.
However, if she revealed the real reason why she couldn’t save her mother-in-law, wouldn’t they just think she was being too conceited?
“Grandfather…” She looked with calm and clear eyes. “Is there any point in saying this now?”
Zuo Yi paused.
Shen Lanzhi already ended up like this and there’s no changing that anytime soon. But she has to answer to the Shi family. If she really had no way to rush to the car and save Shen Lanzhi, why didn’t she just say it?
If she had no other choice, the Shi family wouldn’t blame her for not saving Shen Lanzhi.
“I want to know too.”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
Zuo Weiyi was very familiar with this voice.
She turned her head and saw Shi Yuting, who had been standing there without making a sound. At this moment, a suffocating coldness appeared on his face; the temperature of the room dropped.
When she turned her head, she met the man’s dark eyes. Hidden within those eyes was pain, suffering, and hatred for her.
“What were you doing during those few minutes?”
When she faced him, Zuo Weiyi’s heart was pierced by his eyes.
