Chapter 1170: Chapter 1169: Forced by Circumstances

However… such a dangerous person, he absolutely wouldn’t show mercy. Although he had just spoken to his brother-in-law in a joking tone, those who truly understood him knew that Huo Beijiang never joked.

Once he said something, he would definitely do it, just like his determination to kill Leng Peixi. Whether he knew about his own background or not, it wouldn’t change his resolve.

At this time, many people had arrived at the Wei Family’s house. Entering the courtyard, quite a few people stood at the entrance, and at the center were two siblings kneeling on the ground.

Lu Dongxin was wearing a pale blue hospital gown, which was nearly soaked through with cold sweat, yet she stubbornly refused to stand up. She just knelt there immovably, her voice filled with guilt, “Aunt, please, I beg you, Aunt.”

While speaking, she bowed her head repeatedly, and the people around tried to persuade her to stand up, but she declined them all.

She absolutely couldn’t stand up.

She had nothing left, without the backing of the Wei Family or the Lu Family, she was less than nothing. Lu Dongxin’s arrogant heart had never been as cold and clear as it was now. The resentment and bitterness in her heart were almost uncontrollable, yet reality forced her to bow down.

She hated her father for wanting to hide the truth from her and for using her to gain her uncle’s sympathy, but she had no choice but to do so. Moreover, now was the best opportunity since she had just been beaten and humiliated by Jiang Nanfei in the military.

Now seeking her uncle’s forgiveness was the best opportunity.

She hated Wei Shufen even more, if not for her vile actions that killed the uncle’s real son and replaced him with her own, the Lu Family wouldn’t have been abandoned by the Wei Family.

It was all Wei Shufen’s fault for her greed and her failed schemes.

Swapping the children didn’t give her any benefits; to her, that person was just like a brother, anyway.

After she was sent to the hospital, she immediately sought confirmation from her father, and when her father confessed the truth, she still couldn’t believe it.

This kind of thing wouldn’t even be depicted in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.

“Get up and kneel back at your own home,” Tang Qian screamed hysterically, “Get out! Get out, you’re not welcome here.”

“Mom, mom, please don’t be mad, it’s me, Wei An!” Wei An, who was kneeling beside Lu Dongxin, had lost a lot of weight over the past two months, no longer resembling the chubby boy he once was.

It was evident that his days at the Lu Family these past two months had been difficult.

Now, he dreamed of returning to the Wei Family, to be the young master there.

“Mom, can you please not drive me away? I was wrong, I will never lose my temper again, I’ll be obedient, whatever you say goes, I promise I won’t cause any trouble,” the thinned-down Wei An looked even more pitiable as he continuously bowed his head, his forehead swelling from the impact.

He cried, simultaneously seeking Tang Qian’s forgiveness.

After all, Wei An had been her darling son for over a decade, and Tang Qian had even neglected Wei Qin for the sake of Wei An. Despite all her immense resentment when she saw Wei An kneeling in front of her like this, she couldn’t help but show a glimmer of heartache in her eyes.

These past few months had taught Wei An how to read situations and observe faces, and his days at the Lu Family were not easy. Rather, everyone was silently blaming him, and it was because of him and Wei Shufen that the Lu Family had incurred Minister Wei’s wrath.

Seeing Tang Qian’s expression, Wei An immediately seized the opportunity, grabbed her thighs, and pleaded bitterly, “Mom, it’s Wei An! I’m your most beloved son, remember you said you would treat me well for a lifetime.”
