Chapter 21 The Truth (3/4)

He didn't care at all whether he lived or died.

Even if she dies, Wei Zhentian won't shed a single tear.

Since that's the case, then there's no need for me to value this blood ties so much.

"Fine, you've got guts! I'll beat you to death right now!" Wei Zhentian sneered. He never expected that his usually submissive daughter would show such a rebellious streak today. He raised the stick and slammed it hard on Wei Juan's head.

"Before you kill me, I have one more question to ask you." Wei Juan bit her lip hard, her mouth filled with the strong taste of blood. Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on Wei Zhentian, and her voice trembled as she spoke each word, "My mother...did you kill her back then?"

She was already barely breathing and had no strength left, but she still managed to ask that question.

"You still dare to bring this up now?" Wei Zhentian's face turned ashen, his eyes growing sharper and colder. He gripped the wooden stick tightly, gritting his teeth. "I think I didn't hit you hard enough!"

"I'm just asking you... yes or no!" Wei Juan said each word with great difficulty, her teeth stained with blood from her mouth, her bloodshot eyes staring at him intently, like a wounded little animal howling.

"So what if I did? I poisoned your mother to death. What, you want revenge? You want to kill me?! Don't you even know if you have the ability!" Wei Zhentian sneered, gripped the wooden stick in his hand, and was about to smash it hard on Wei Juan's head!

Wei Juan gave a bitter laugh, closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

It really was him...

It was her beloved father who killed her mother...

She had always thought he cared about her and their daughter, but now it seemed ridiculous.

"Dad, no!" Wei Lili quickly stopped him. If that stick came down, wouldn't it kill Wei Juan?

If I kill Wei Juan, won't I lose a lot of fun in the future?

Wei Lili quickly stepped forward and grasped Wei Zhentian's arm, softly comforting him, "Dad, I believe my sister was just confused for a moment. Now she has learned her lesson and knows she was wrong. She will definitely not dare to do it again... Dad, please don't hit her anymore."

“Yes, it would be much more difficult if someone were to die,” Wei’s mother quickly chimed in.

Wei Zhentian gradually calmed down. He threw away the wooden stick in his hand and looked at Wei Juan with eyes full of disgust and coldness. "Look at how magnanimous and kind your sister is! And look at yourself! The two of you are worlds apart!"

"You should stay here and reflect on your actions!"

Wei Zhentian snorted coldly, then put his arm around his mother's waist and took Wei Lili's hand with his other hand, and walked out of the room.

The family left chatting and laughing, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

Wei Juan was left alone, covered in blood, lying on the cold ground, her dark eyes lifeless.

Wei Juan's curled-up hands were clenched into tight fists.

If she had previously held onto a tiny bit of father-daughter affection for Wei Zhentian, today's events have made her see reality clearly.

Now that Wei Zhentian is her mother's killer, if she lets him go like this, she will be letting her mother down in the afterlife.

With trembling hands, Wei Juan slowly reached into the side pocket of her skirt, her fingers shaking as she took out the black voice recorder and clutched it tightly in her palm.
