294 The Enemy Is Still Alive
“I was a poor boy at that time, but she was different. She was the daughter of a rich family, and her family was very rich. But later, her family’s pany was not doing well and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Her parents wanted her to marry a rich man so that he could help the pany.”
“But time was tight at the time, and there was no chance to make a good choice. It just so happened that at that time, a rich and powerful family was choosing a wife for their son. Her parents saw this and tried to contact her, but they didn’t expect it to succeed. Within a few days, the parents of both sides began to discuss marriage.”
“It would be fine if the partner was someone with a decent appearance and normal in all aspects, but the man her parents found for her was ugly and had character problems. They were already close to marriage, but that man actually r*ped a little girl. The man wanted to suppress the matter because he was rich. Later, the girl mitted suicide and the matter was blown up. After she found out, she wanted to terminate the marriage, but her parents disagreed. They said that they had already received the money and the pany was slowly getting better. They warned her that she must get married.”
Su Meng got angry and scolded, “That man is going to have a wife soon, but he still did that kind of thing. It’s disgusting.” After she finished, she looked at Wei Ting and said, “He already has a wife, but he’s still coveting other girls. He doesn’t deserve to live.”
Wei Ting was confused by Su Meng’s stare. He looked at Su Meng in confusion. He didn’t expect Su Meng to snort and turn her head away, not wanting to talk to him.
Wei Ting: “…”
Why did he feel like Su Meng was talking about him?
“Actually,” Grandfather Wei sighed, “the mindset back then was different from now. If this were to happen now, that person would’ve been in prison long ago. He wouldn’t be able to get out.”
“But your wife’s parents aren’t the same. Grandpa, don’t blame me for being rude, but what they’re doing is no different from selling their daughter. They know what kind of person the other party is, but they still sent their daughter there.” Su Meng was really angry. With her personality, she could say such harsh words in front of Grandfather Wei. It was obvious that she was very angry.
Grandfather Wei didn’t mind Su Meng’s words and continued, “After that, my wife couldn’t take it anymore and ran away on the first day of her wedding. When I found her, she was dressed in rags and was in a sorry state. At that time, she even lied to me that she was a homeless person and had no home. At that time, I saw her pitiful appearance and believed her, so I took her in.”
“I was very poor at that time. Although I had more than enough to support myself, it would be a little difficult if there was another mouth in the family. Thus, in order to live a better life, I started a business under her guidance. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid back then. She knew everything and taught me all sorts of things, but I never thought that her identity was suspicious.”
Grandfather Wei sighed and smiled helplessly. “She’s very smart. With her help, the two of us started from scratch and finally managed to start a business. But later on…”
At this point, Grandfather Wei suddenly stopped talking.
Su Meng was listening attentively. Seeing that Grandfather Wei had stopped talking, she quickly asked, “What happened after that?”
Grandfather Wei’s expression suddenly turned ugly as he thought of something. He shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s not talk about what happened after that. Later, she was pregnant with Wei Ting’s father. She was too tired when she started her business and had some health problems on the day of delivery, so she passed away in the end.”
Grandfather Wei was in a bad mood when he talked about his wife’s death. Su Meng could feel his sadness without even looking at him.
At this moment, Wei Ting, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said coldly, “Grandma didn’t die because of poor health. She was framed by someone. The man who hurt her back then is still alive and living well.”
Hearing Wei Ting’s words, Su Meng and Grandfather Wei looked at him in surprise.
Grandfather Wei slammed his walking stick on the ground and said angrily, “What’s wrong? You went to investigate what happened back then?”
Su Meng didn’t understand why Grandfather Wei was so angry. If his enemy was still alive, why didn’t Grandfather Wei do anything to him? Why did he let him live peacefully? Moreover, with the Wei family’s strength, there shouldn’t be anyone to be afraid of, right?
Wei Ting was unmoved by Grandfather Wei’s scolding. He continued to speak indifferently, “It’s easy to investigate this kind of thing, it doesn’t need much effort. Besides, I know what you’re worried about. No matter how rich the Wei family is, they’re just ordinary businessmen, and that person’s background isn’t just in the business world, but also in the government.”
