294 The Enemy Is Still Alive
âI 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 familyâs company 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 company.â
âBut 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 didnât expect it to succeed. Within a few days, the parents of both sides began to discuss marriage.â
âIt 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 committed 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 company was slowly getting better. They warned her that she must get married.â
Su Meng got angry and scolded, âThat man is going to have a wife soon, but he still did that kind of thing. Itâs disgusting.â After she finished, she looked at Wei Ting and said, âHe already has a wife, but heâs still coveting other girls. He doesnât deserve to live.â
Wei Ting was confused by Su Mengâs stare. He looked at Su Meng in confusion. He didnât expect Su Meng to snort and turn her head away, not wanting to talk to him.
Wei Ting: ââ¦â
Why did he feel like Su Meng was talking about him?
âActually,â Grandfather Wei sighed, âthe mindset back then was different from now. If this were to happen now, that person wouldâve been in prison long ago. He wouldnât be able to get out.â
âBut your wifeâs parents arenât the same. Grandpa, donât blame me for being rude, but what theyâre 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.â 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 didnât mind Su Mengâs words and continued, âAfter that, my wife couldnât 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.â
âI 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.â
Grandfather Wei sighed and smiled helplessly. âSheâs very smart. With her help, the two of us started from scratch and finally managed to start a business. But later onâ¦â
At this point, Grandfather Wei suddenly stopped talking.
Su Meng was listening attentively. Seeing that Grandfather Wei had stopped talking, she quickly asked, âWhat happened after that?â
Grandfather Weiâs expression suddenly turned ugly as he thought of something. He shook his head and said, âItâs nothing. Letâs not talk about what happened after that. Later, she was pregnant with Wei Tingâs 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.â
Grandfather Wei was in a bad mood when he talked about his wifeâs 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, âGrandma didnât die because of poor health. She was framed by someone. The man who hurt her back then is still alive and living well.â
Hearing Wei Tingâs words, Su Meng and Grandfather Wei looked at him in surprise.
Grandfather Wei slammed his walking stick on the ground and said angrily, âWhatâs wrong? You went to investigate what happened back then?â
Su Meng didnât understand why Grandfather Wei was so angry. If his enemy was still alive, why didnât Grandfather Wei do anything to him? Why did he let him live peacefully? Moreover, with the Wei familyâs strength, there shouldnât be anyone to be afraid of, right?
Wei Ting was unmoved by Grandfather Weiâs scolding. He continued to speak indifferently, âItâs easy to investigate this kind of thing, it doesnât need much effort. Besides, I know what youâre worried about. No matter how rich the Wei family is, theyâre just ordinary businessmen, and that personâs background isnât just in the business world, but also in the government.â
