The driver had already followed the instructions and driven from the parking lot to the main gate. Li Bing looked at her daughter, who refused to get out of the car no matter how she explained, and became so enraged that she slapped her hard.

She sternly shouted, “Who told you to scheme against others when you’re not as skilled? Consider this a lesson! This is your last chance for redemption. You know your grandfather’s way of doing things. If you don’t handle this well, your grandfather won’t spare us. Your father and 1 won’t be able to protect you either.”

Upon hearing these words, Wei Lai choked up and understood the reason behind her mother’s words. She wanted to wipe away her tears and get out of the car.

However, Li Bing stopped her and said, “Now, the more you cry, the better. Wei Jiang, don’t say anything later. Just maintain a look of shame.”

The family got out of the car, and the waiting reporters immediately rushed forward to Wei Jiang.

“Third Master Wei, by bringing your daughter here bound, are you indirectly admitting that all the rumors online are true?”

“Miss Wei, 1 heard that your prestigious school reserves some spots each year for students from ordinary families. Based on your theory, do you often bully them?”

“Miss Wei, can we interpret your crying as regret? Or did you not anticipate it would escalate to this level and now feel ashamed?”

The security guards from Wei Corporation rushed forward to block the reporters. Only then did the family of three successfully enter the office building.

Wei Lai knelt in Wei Feng’s office for nearly three hours before Wen Xing and his daughter finally arrived.

Wei Feng quickly stood up and approached them, his voice choked with sorrow, “I’m truly ashamed to face you all, and also my brother who passed away!”

“Wen Xing, 1 apologize to you and especially to Wen Nian. I’ve always been upright, but 1 never expected to raise such a despicable and unworthy creature!” Wei Feng pointed at Wei Lai’s trembling hand with anger, grinding his teeth as he scolded.

When Wei Lai saw Wei Feng’s eyes wide open, she knew that although his reaction was mostly an act, she still couldn’t help but shrink back in fear.

Wen Xing noticed that Wei Feng didn’t offer any excuses or talk about reconciliation. The rhythm of his planned questioning was disrupted.

He thought for a moment before saying, “Old Mr. Wei, we haven’t laid a finger on Wen Nian since she was young. When we saw this on the Internet last night, we immediately wanted to go to the Wei family to demand an explanation and understand the reasons behind it. Today’s video has provided the answer: it’s because my family lacks money!”

“We may not have wealth, but we have integrity. I want to make my position clear—I won’t accept any settlement. We will follow the legal procedures, and let justice prevail. This is the savings card you gave us, and not a penny has been taken. I am returning it to its rightful owner.”

Wei Feng didn’t expect this level of determination from Wen Xing, the usually kind-hearted person. He didn’t rush to defend himself or seek a compromise. Instead, he sorrowfully pushed back the card that Wen Xing was offering, saying, “What are you doing? This is like slapping me in the face. The card is yours, and you are its rightful owner.”

Then, Wei Feng turned his head, wearing a stern expression, and addressed the kneeling Wei Lai, “You should apologize to your sister, Wen Nian, on your own. If she doesn’t forgive you, then you should never step foot into my Wei family again. 1 will provide you with a sum of money to study and live abroad. Stay out of my sight!”

If the situation had ended with Wei Lai’s unsuccessful retaliation last night, she would have been confident that Wei Feng wouldn’t intervene, and she could still earn favor in front of her cousin, the future family head. But now, everything had fallen apart.

At only 14 years old, the corporation had a professional legal team, and she might be able to avoid imprisonment. However, thinking of the difficult days her cousin, Wei Xiao, had experienced overseas, Wei Lai realized that Wei Feng was truly desperate.

Her cousin could return after completing his studies, but if Wei Feng remained unyielding, she would have to live far away. Even if she managed to come back, she would carry the weight of her criminal record.

Weeping, Wei Lai took a few steps forward, grasping Wei Feng’s arm, and pleaded, “Grandfather, I’m sorry, I won’t dare to do it again! Wen Nian, please forgive me. I won’t target you anymore!”

Wen Nian glanced at Wei Lai and without saying much, she directly played a video from her phone. It was the self-confession video of the men who had taken Wen Nian away with Shen Jun yesterday.

Wei Feng watched the plan orchestrated by Wei Lai for those men to gang-rape Wen Nian, and he wished he could slap Wei Lai to death. Not only had she devised such a malicious plan that failed to succeed, but it was also exposed to the public.. How could he even negotiate under such circumstances?
