Chapter 353 - Mrs. Zhang's Outrage
Outside, Mrs. Zhang entered Mingshen's lab. Her sight fell on her grandson, and she rushed towards him. "Xiaobo!"
Bobo lifted his head. "Grandma!" He opened his arms and ran up to her. "Grandma!"
Mrs. Zhang hugged him hard and softly cried. "You rascal! Where were you? You didn't return home. Do you know how worried I was? How could you just run off on your own? If not for this man who informed me last night, I would have gotten a heart attack."
Fu Renshu had already informed Mrs. Zhang that Bobo was with them. Since he was Wei's assistant, and she knew Wei, she was relieved to see that he was safe. But she wondered why Wei suddenly came in contact with Bobo. He had disappeared just like Lihua, never to be seen again. It was Shen Yang who brought her to Mingshen's lab today.
Bobo pursed his lips. "Because that Aunt said that I will find Lihua!"
She was taken aback. "Lihua?"
He nodded hard. "And I did! Grandma, I found Lihua!"
She gasped. "Y-You did? Where is she?"
He fumed. "She is inside. She is talking with the rich evil capitalist!"
"Ah? You mean Jiang Wei?"
"Who else? Grandma, you don't know! He is a bad man! He has hurt Lihua a lot! He has also hurt sis Jia!" His round, watery eyes teared up. "He is evil…"
"W-wait. Tell me everything from the beginning."
Bobo did. Mrs. Zhang was so aghast that she felt as if this was all a horrible dream. A tear slipped down her cheek. Her heart ached for Lihua, who had suffered so much.
I always thought that Jiang Wei was such a good man for her. Even if he was rich, he treasured Lihua. But I was wrong in my judgment.
And Jia…
She trembled and burst into sobs.
Is Jia really no more?
A shadow loomed over her, and she looked up. Jiang Yubi gently asked, "You…"
Mrs. Zhang suspiciously asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Jiang Yubi."
"Jiang? Are you related to Jiang Wei?"
"Yes, I am his mother."
Mrs. Zhang furiously got up and faced her. She wiped her eyes. "Mrs. Jiang. Bobo told me everything! Your son...your son not only killed Jia but also fooled Lihua into marrying him! Is this how you have raised him?"
She froze.
The others quickly came to her side. Jiang Weizhe worriedly asked, "Yubi, what is going on?"
"Oh. So you must be his father. The resemblance is uncanny."
He narrowed his eyes.
Mrs. Zhang burst into rage. "I don't understand how you all still have the nerve to stand here outside Lihua's room when your son is the root of all her problems? Is this how wealthy people raise their sons?" She clenched her fists. "To think that he was a demon in an angel's disguise! Ever since he moved into our apartment complex, he has been fooling us! He…" she choked, "killed Jia and still had the face to meet Lihua? He still had the nerve to marry her? How shameless anybody can be!?"
Jiang Yubi trembled. Mrs. Zhang's razor-sharp words were hurting, but she knew it was the truth. Wei had disappointed everybody. There were no excuses to make.
Jiang Weizhe coldly said, "Talk to me all you want. But don't speak like that to Yubi."
"Enough! You think you can order me around? Don't think that Lihua is helpless because she doesn't have parents. She and Jia are like my daughters. Your son killed one of them and betrayed the other! He will have to suffer his punishment!"
Bobo hugged her legs. "Don't cry, Grandma. We will take Lihua away from here!"
She nodded and glared at them. "I am taking Lihua away right this instant. She has suffered enough."
Jiang Yubi quickly stopped. "Please! W-Wei is inside, and they are talking about something really important…"
"Your son still has something to say? What is it? Is it an apology? Or compensation?" She gritted her teeth. "Aren't rich people used to giving compensation? Is that what Jiang Wei is doing?"
"No! Of course not! Please believe me. Wei...Wei really loves her. I know Wei has made terrible mistakes that are difficult to forgive-"
"Impossible to forgive, Mrs. Jiang," she sharply cut her off. "A murder and a betrayal is impossible to forgive and forget! If somebody killed your son tomorrow, will you be able to forgive the murderer? And more so if he fools you and lives right under your nose, pretending to be innocent?"
Nobody had an answer.
"I think you understand now. So leave my way. I don't care what important things they are talking about. I only know that I won't let Lihua stay in such a family anymore!"
She was about to storm in, but the door opened at the same time. Wei slowly stepped out, unaware of what was happening outside.
"Wei!" Jiang Yubi walked up to him. "What happened, Wei? What did Lihua say?"
But he didn't respond. His face was marred with such emptiness that everybody shook in fear.
Jiang Lanying anxiously whispered. "Li. Why is he looking like that? I am getting scared."
Jiang Li was silent.
Jiang Ruiling and Jiang Ninghong had a faint idea of what Lihua might have talked about to Wei. After everything that had happened, there was only one decision for Lihua to take. No other thing could shake Wei so badly.
"Wei…"
Mrs. Zhang stood in front of Wei and cried. "So I finally meet you! You...how dare you hurt my precious girls like that? Did your conscience not even hurt once before doing this?"
Wei said nothing.
"Your mother says that you really love Lihua. Is this what love is? Lies? Deception? Betrayal? Is this what love means to you? Lihua loved you wholeheartedly, and you did nothing but bring pain to her," she gasped as she cried. "I will never forgive you, Wei. For killing Jia, for lying to Lihua, for hiding her away from us....I will never forgive you!"
