Chapter 1173: Chapter 1172 Jiang Yang Gets Angry

Lu Dongxin and Wei An clearly knew the real situation, yet they deliberately pretended to be unaware, using the circumstances to force them to agree. Their methods were too unsophisticated and too hasty.

If they had been able to endure, over time his own anger would have subsided, and he naturally would have forgiven them.

After all, he couldn’t possibly hold a grudge against innocent children.

But now… who could still say they were innocent?

“What’s so difficult about driving them out? Just kick them out directly, right?” Jiang Yang fumed. “Just like how Tang Qian drove Sister Nan Fei and me out of the compound back then, wasn’t it very simple?”

Wei Fangyi felt a wave of embarrassment, hardly daring to look into Jiang Yang’s clear eyes.

Huo Beijiang beside him struggled to hold back his laughter.

“Sister Nan Fei and I didn’t live in your house before; you all were able to come to our door to drive us out. Now that people have moved into your house, you say it’s not good to drive them out,” Jiang Yang said, biting her beautiful lip and casting a disdainful glance at Wei Fangyi.

“You’re just discriminating, just because Sister Nan Fei and I came from the village, powerless and without anyone to rely on. To you, we’re just annoying strangers that you can drive away like shooing flies whenever you find us displeasing.”

Jiang Yang paused, then continued under Wei Fangyi’s shameful gaze: “Wei An is different for you, something I and my sister can never measure up to. Wei An is the son you raised from childhood, bound by affection so you can’t bear to part with him. And that annoying woman…”

Jiang Yang glanced into the room, discovering Lu Dongxin had fainted at some point, now surrounded by people caring for her, with a family doctor in attendance.

Jiang Yang’s eyes slowly grew sour, and pulling Huo Beijiang, she turned and left without caring about what Wei Fangyi was saying behind her.

It was not until they exited the Wei Family’s courtyard that their pace slowed.

“Younger uncle, are you very sad?” Huo Beijiang arched his eyebrows.

“Not at all.” Jiang Yang denied flatly, her eyes red.

“I’ve never seen you talk so much before; it shows Minister Wei is different for you.”

“Not anymore,” Jiang sounded like a weary old soul, sighing deeply, “Never again.”

He would not give anyone a second chance to hurt him.

Huo Beijiang’s eyes were somber, glancing covertly once more in the direction of the Wei Family, then pulling Jiang toward his own home.

*******

The commotion at the Wei Family quieted down with Wei Fangyi’s return, the living room instantly fell silent. Wei An hesitated, timidly looking at him, his eyes full of adoration. Wanting to get closer, yet too timid to dare, it was heart-melting to watch.

Even Tang Qian’s gaze softened a bit.

Only Tang Lan, always felt something was amiss.

“Come on, Wei An, your dad’s back, don’t cry now. A big boy shouldn’t shed tears, it’s embarrassing!” The people around him advised him with smiling eyes.

Wei An cautiously approached, looking up at the tall and imposing Wei Fangyi, his eyes filled with admiration.

He stammered, cautiously calling out, “Dad, I’m scared… please don’t send me away, okay?”

Wei Fangyi sighed. If this had been said ten minutes earlier, he would definitely have accepted Wei An unconditionally. Although not his biological child, he had raised him for more than a decade, and the Wei Family wasn’t lacking his portion of food.

But now, for some reason, looking at Jiang Yang, his words echoed in his ears. Looking at Wei An again, he just couldn’t feel close.
