The most important thing was, without the Rong Ji status, Wang Lixing was nothing!
"Alright. Let him, repent for Mr. Liu." Xie Jingchen let go of his young wife’s hand, slowly passed by her, half-kneeled in front of the sickbed, staring at Liu Aimin’s tranquil and resting face for a long while before letting out a sentimental sigh—
"Mr. Liu, I’m sorry, I couldn’t fulfill your wish to take good care of her. In your entire life, to let her live with freedom and dignity, you regarded your own reputation as nothing, only wishing for her to live comfortably and content... However, she has never cherished it!
Mr. Liu, please forgive me for being unable to fulfill your last wish. Because she has hurt my wife, I cannot bring myself to forgive her. I am not you, and she is not my child, thus, she must atone for her own actions."
Xie Jingchen quietly confessed and asked for forgiveness in Mr. Liu’s ear, while the old man lay on the bed in silence, with no reaction whatsoever.
Yan Jinsu turned her head away with a heavy heart upon hearing this.
Even if not for herself, she could no longer tolerate Liu Dongzhu.
This time, she considered it as an act of her good but foolish heart, to be the dark piece in the game, as a way to awaken her fully.
If she still has a brain to ponder upon, there might still be hope for her, then she would understand who truly deserves her heartfelt treatment, and who to just give a polite smile and a light nod of acknowledgement.
"I’m sorry, Elder Liu." Yan Jinsu also deeply bowed to Elder Liu’s face, bowing down to the fullest extent.
Compared to the perfunctory bow she gave to Wu Youbai, this time, Yan Jinsu’s attitude was unprecedentedly sincere.
Yet at the same time, her heart was filled with pity and sadness, feeling it was unfair to Elder Liu.
The couple, each with their own thoughts, looked upon Liu Aimin’s silent sleeping figure, knowing that with the old man sick and aged to such a state, unless by some miracle, it was nothing but a matter of time.
Now, all they could do was use their human efforts to find distant relatives for Old Master Liu Aimin, and to arrange his affairs.
Meanwhile, as soon as Yan Jinsu left, the Wu Family quickly took action. Wu Xuqiang’s body was extremely weak and couldn’t afford to wait.
The affairs that Elder Rong Du had promised would be handled swiftly, the Wu’s actions would be so quick that Yan Jinsu need not fret over them at all.
As for the worry that the Wu Family might go back on their word in the end, that would really be an overestimation of them.
Yan Jinsu was one hundred percent certain that threatening the Wu Family with divorcing Liu Dongzhu would only make them even happier.
Any reasonable person with any sense would not want such a paranoid and crazy daughter-in-law.
Sadly, the outcome could not be fully in accordance with her wishes.
Yan Jinsu wanted Liu Dongzhu to pay the price, however inadvertently fulfilling the Wu Family’s desires, which was, in essence, inevitable. freewebnoveℓ.com
Of course, she could choose to completely ignore it, after all, she had already beaten Liu Dongzhu painfully, and her frustration was mostly vented. But to let her husband know that she had the capability yet did not save Rong Wei, Yan Jinsu felt that although Xie Jingchen might not speak of it, he would certainly feel uncomfortable inside.
Because, inherently, Xie Jingchen was from Rong Wei, he naturally felt closeness to all his comrades in the Rong Army.
Not to put too fine a point on it, a member of Rong Wei, having lived in the Rong Army for over a decade, regarded the military as his second home, his loyalty and brotherhood were born within the military ranks; anyone wearing the same Military Uniform was his sibling in arms, the support behind his back.
To expect him to coldly watch any comrade die before his eyes was definitely something Xie Jingchen could not bring himself to do.
The sacred duty of Rong Wei, to put it more bluntly, was sacrifice.
From the moment he donned the green military uniform, Xie Jingchen strictly fulfilled his sacred Rong Wei duty.
