Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Your Concern for Ruoruo_l

Wei Jinyi, who was engrossed in writing at a desk, amiably set down his brush at the sound of an entrance, then motioned for Wei Mingting to take a seat across from him at a table set with tea.

Upon glance, Wei Mingting sat down face to face with Wei Jinyi.

“Madam Wei handled this matter unfairly,” Wei Jinyi addressed Wei Mingting. “She may have had Wei Qingwan’s familial bond in mind when making her decision, but did she ever consider her bond with Ruoruo?” Wei Jinyi chimed in with a counter-question.

Wei Mingting sighed in response, “Indeed, she favors Wanwan and mishandled the recent incident. However, your actions tonight were just as bad – – she is, after all, your mother in name.”

“Given her senior status, if she takes it into account in every decision, Ruoruo would struggle in this household. Better I play the villain than have Ruoruo suffer,” Wei Jinyi replied.

Wei Jinyi’s words took Wei Mingting by surprise: “Your concern for Ruoruo is unexpected.”

Wei Jinyi neither acknowledged nor denied the comment, instead questioning his father: “Don’t you think the situation is unfair towards Ruoruo?”

With a gloomy look, Wei Mingting breathed out another sigh: “It is my duty to oversee the household affairs. Madam’s mishandling of the situation bears equal responsibility to me.”

Wei Mingting felt guilt for the issue within the family. His daily toil in the military had left little time for taking care of his children and household chores.

“Since you admit that this situation is unfair to Ruoruo, let’s handle it my way. We mustn’t let Ruoruo lose heart,” Wei Jinyi proposed.

“Understood,” Wei Mingting responded.

Following a moment of silence, Wei Jinyi turned to Wei Mingting and declared, “My time in the Wei family is drawing to an end.”

Taken aback, Wei Mingting appeared more solemn than before, “Have you made up your mind? Let it be clear that once you take this step, there will be no turning back.”

“I understand that. From the moment of my birth, some things were destined. Rather than avoiding them, one should face them directly. Life or death, happiness or suffering – one only knows once experienced.”

“If you’ve made your decision, I won’t say any more.”

Wei Mingting extended his hand, patting Wei Jinyi’s shoulder. His words of advice about journeying far from home felt similar to those of any ordinary father. However, they were left unspoken and could only be felt through the pat on Wei Jinyi’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry; I won’t implicate the Wei Family,” Wei Jinyi assured.

“I’m not afraid of you implicating us. The moment I welcomed you home, I’ve already put my life at risk,” Wei Mingting confessed.

“Though you might not fear implicating yourself, behind you is the Wei Family. You must consider the life and death of everyone involved.”

“You’re right, I shouldn’t let the entire Wei Family bear the risk due to my action.”

“I’ll handle everything properly so as not to involve the Wei Family. Please take care of Ruoruo for me,” Wei Jinyi asked.

“Understood,” Wei Mingting agreed.

After his discussion with Wei Jinyi, Wei Mingting returned to Cangyun Garden. As he stepped into his bedroom, Madam Yun had already awoken.

Upon seeing Wei Mingting, Madam Yun opened her mouth to speak but was unable to utter a word. All her grievances manifested in a sudden flowing of tears.

Seeing this, Wei Mingting asked the attending maids to leave.

Arriving at the bedside, He began to feed Madam Yun her medicine.

However, Madam Yun was not interested in taking her medicine at the moment; she yearned to understand the reason behind the day’s events.
