Chapter 1178: Chapter 1177: Zhang Yang

She initially wanted to cry for her mother, but when she thought of all the things Wei Shufen had done, she didn’t dare bring it up. Fearing she would provoke anger, now was indeed not a good time. She heard from her father that her mother was locked up in prison, and as long as Uncle had not taken her mother’s life, it meant Uncle was still compassionate.

She believed it wouldn’t take long for her mother to be released.

Once her mother was out, she believed, with her mother’s skills, it wouldn’t be long before she turned the tables.

What was enduring some suffering now? In the future, she would make sure everyone who had humiliated her paid with their lives.

“Ah!” Tang Qian sighed, wanting to say something, but then she met Wei An’s eyes, filled with panic, and her heart softened, leaving her unable to speak. “Let’s eat quickly. After dinner, get some early rest.”

They could never go back to the past.

At that moment, Wei Fangyi walked into the dining room with an inscrutable expression. His gloomy gaze landed on Lu Dongxin and Wei An, scaring them until they lost all color in their faces.

Wei An had stood up, wanting to call out ‘Dad’, but upon meeting his gaze, she found herself unable to utter a word.

“Fangyi, let’s eat! Tonight we have your favorite egg dumplings,” Tang Qian called out.

“You eat,” Wei Fangyi said before turning to leave.

In a hurry, Tang Qian called out, “Aren’t you going to eat? Where are you going so late?”

“Just for a walk.”

Lu Family–

Today, after arranging for Dongxin and Wei An to be sent to the Wei Family, Lu Da had been restless and even secretly had someone keep an eye on the situation there. It wasn’t just him; the entire Lu Family was gathered in the living room, waiting for news.

For the Lu Family, the past two months had felt like years.

Having lost Minister Wei as their backing, they truly realized how insignificant the Lu Family was. They used to rely on Wei Fangyi, even looking down on the Huo Family and seizing the opportunity during the Huo Family’s consecutive crisis to force an engagement with Huo Beijiang.

But now, having offended Wei Fangyi, they didn’t need others to act; just Huo Beijiang alone had deprived them of everything.

It was only now that they realized they had grossly underestimated Huo Beijiang, and they deeply regretted letting Lu Dongxin cause trouble at the Huo Family’s home.

“Second, what’s the situation? Will the method you spoke of work?” The eldest in the Lu Family couldn’t wait any longer and lit himself a cigarette, inhaling deeply.

The others stared at Lu Da, their eyes filled with skepticism.

“I don’t care, second brother, this mess was caused by your wife, and it has dragged down the entire Lu Family. If this doesn’t go well, don’t blame us for turning our backs on you.”

“Enough! If Shufen says it’s useful, then it surely is,” Lu Da interrupted everyone’s ceaseless chatter. He too harbored resentment towards Wei Shufen for her brutality and greed, but at the moment, she was the only one who could help him.

Even though she was now in prison, she was full of ideas, and she knew Wei Fangyi and Tang Qian’s weaknesses best.

He believed the ideas she provided would definitely work.

As long as Wei An and Dongxin could stay in the Wei Family for this year, things would mostly be set.

“Really? That’s great.”

“It’s Dongxin who is capable. After this experience, I believe she will grow even better.”

“Hmph! As long as we can still make use of the Wei Family, whoever we want to step on in the future, we’ll step on.”

“Right! We definitely can’t let Huo Beijiang get away this time. I just can’t swallow this insult.”

“It’s simply too much of a bully.”

Everyone was making aggressive statements when the phone in the living room suddenly rang. Lu Da quickly picked up, and as soon as he answered, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Everyone immediately looked at him with tension.
