“As for Wei Qi, we can just let him be sent to prison for three to five years. He can take it as a lesson. Otherwise, he will never learn how much trouble he’s always causing us! When the Old Master was still in power, people would always give us some face. Now, the Old Master is critically ill and we have yet to find a suitable doctor to operate on him. The Wei Family is in a mess, and Wei Lou is also back. If he causes trouble now, he’ll definitely be caught by your uncle and his family.”
As he was speaking, he put his cell phone at the head of the bed. Then, with a stern face, he said, “If he manages to learn to be a better person in prison, he will still have the chance to lead the Wei Family in the future. Looking at how he does things now, you cannot expect him to lead the family properly.”
His marriage with Wei Ling was originally an alliance between two strong families, whether it was emotionally or intellectually. He certainly hoped that the person to inherit the Wei Family would be his brother-in-law.
That way, the Shen Family could also continue to rise in power alongside them.
He patted Wei Ling’s shoulder and comforted her. “Don’t think too much about this. Maybe this could be a good thing for Wei Qi. He’s not young anymore. He can’t keep relying on us whenever he runs into trouble.”
Although he was saying this on the outside, he felt annoyed on the inside. He couldn’t understand how unlucky his useless brother-in-law was. He actually managed to provoke the Ye family twice in a row.
According to seniority, he was Ye Wangchuan’s elder. Ye Wangchuan should address him as an elder.
However, in reality, everyone in Beijing knew of the Young Master from the Ye family. He had an extraordinary ability from a young age and had a lot of influence and contacts.
Even though Ye Wangchuan was only in his early twenties, no one from the older generation in Beijing dared to refer to their seniority in front of him.
If Ye Wangchuan hadn’t interfered, Wei Qi would also have been left with more options!
Wei Ling covered her face. She still couldn’t accept the possibility of Wei Qi going to prison for three to five years. Her eyes were red and she wanted to cry, but her self-esteem did not allow her to expose her vulnerable side in front of so many people.
Qiao Chen had been standing by the side and listening to their conversation the whole time. The more she listened, the more confused she got. Even if Wei Ling and Shen Jingyan were speaking implicitly, they didn’t divulge the full story. She could only understand about half of the conversation.
Qiao Nian had found a backer, and the matter regarding her beating up Wei Qi will be put to rest!
Qiao Chen bit her lips reluctantly. Her eyes twinkled as she said, “Did Qiao Nian not beat up someone?”
That was right. It was Qiao Nian who beat up her brother. However, it was her brother who would be going to jail now. How could this be reasonable!
Wei Ling felt as though her heart was being stabbed. Feeling uncomfortable, she raised her head and looked at Qiao Chen.
In fact, Qiao Chen was a little afraid of her gaze. However, she didn’t want Qiao Nian to get away so easily. Thus, she stood her ground. She bit her lip and shrunk her neck. Her heart pounding, she said, “Why are we the ones apologizing when she was the one who beat up Wei Qi? Aunt Wei Ling, is there a mistake? I thought the Wei Family was very powerful. How can we just let Qiao Nian go so easily? We must at least punish her for this.”
Wei Ling couldn’t tell her what Wei Qi had done. Instead, she tried to change the subject. She looked at Qiao Chen deeply and asked thoughtlessly, “By the way, Chen Chen, Your mom is planning to invite your friends and relatives over for a feast to celebrate your admission into Qing University, right?”
Qiao Chen didn’t expect the conversation to suddenly switch from Qiao Nian to herself. How did the conversation become about her? Although she didn’t know why Wei Ling changed the subject, she still obediently nodded her head.
“Yes. After all, I made it into Qing University. My mom wants to celebrate this achievement.”
