Chapter 19 The Truth About the Death (3/4)

"When did your mother pass away?" Su Wantang asked casually.

“When I was 10 years old,” Wei Juan said with a wry smile as she sipped her ginger tea.

“I see…” Su Wantang sighed softly. “My parents also passed away when I was 10 years old. I can really understand how you feel. Seeing you always reminds me of myself when I was a child.”

Wei Juan raised her clear eyes to look at Su Wantang.

“My father died early when I was little, and my uncle and aunt’s family took over our house. They’re all bloodsuckers; they eat, drink, and use the inheritance my parents left me. They’re also scheming against me and abusing me…” Su Wantang sighed, her beautiful face filled with sorrow. “My uncle’s family is after the inheritance my parents left me. After squeezing me dry, they even reported me as a capitalist’s daughter. I’ll be demoted soon…”

"I want to find the person who killed my parents before I'm sent down for reform, and bring him to justice, so that my parents can rest in peace," Su Wantang sighed.

Wei Juan felt increasingly guilty and dared not look Su Wantang in the eye, so she lowered her head.

"Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food." Su Wantang changed the subject at the right time, and said with a light laugh.

“No…no need…” Wei Juan quickly stood up, looking at Su Wantang somewhat helplessly. “It’s getting late, I should go back…I’m sorry to have bothered you today, sister. I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future.”

"Are you going back so early?" Su Wantang asked with some regret.

“…Hmm.” Wei Juan didn’t dare to look Su Wantang in the eye and nodded haphazardly.

"Okay, then go ahead. Drive carefully." Su Wantang looked at her gently and escorted her to the door.

Instead of returning to the villa, Su Wantang secretly followed Wei Juan when she wasn't paying attention.

At this time, Wei Juan was unaware that Su Wantang was secretly following her. Instead of returning to the Wei family, she took a roundabout route and went to a suburb in the city.

Su Wantang had anticipated that Wei Juan would not return to the Wei family. When she saw Wei Juan arrive in the suburbs, Su Wantang was puzzled.

However, when Su Wantang saw Wei Juan arrive at an inconspicuous little mound, she instantly understood.

At this moment, Wei Juan knelt before the grave, large tears streaming down her face. She sobbed, "Mom... I almost got killed by Wei Lili today..."

"A kind and beautiful older sister saved me."

“Mom, you told me before that we should be grateful and repay kindness. I know I should repay this sister.”

"But the person who killed her parents is my father... I can't expose my father's crimes... No matter how bad that person is, he's still my own father..."

"I have no face to see that woman again..."

"Mom, can you tell me what I should do..."

Wei Juan's pale face was covered in tears.

Not far away, Su Wantang watched Wei Juan cry her heart out, her eyelashes trembling incessantly, and her feelings were complicated.

She could understand Wei Juan's actions.

Anyone would hesitate in this situation.

Su Wantang's gaze fell on the grass growing on the grave.
