Chapter 1098: Chapter 1097: Settlent Chapter 1098: Chapter 1097: Settlent “Wei Qin, when can you get well and leave the hospital?” Tang Lan sat beside Wei Qin with a warm smile, “We all hope that you can be discharged soon! When you do, your aunt will treat you to an art exhibition.”
“I’ll need so more ti,” Wei Qin’s eyes were gentle, “Auntie, have you co across so happy news? You seem to be in a good mood.”
“Yeah! Did you notice?” Tang Lan spoke with unaffected grace, “I heard that Autumn Gallery is showcasing a new work, the second piece by that mysterious gold dalist painter, and I’ve been wanting to go! If I hadn’t been so busy lately, I would have visited earlier.”
Wei Qin montarily paused, his pale lips slowly curling into a smile. “Auntie, you’re talking about Jiang Nanfei! She and Bei Jiang are coming over in a while, and you can talk to her in person.”
The room imdiately fell into an eerie silence.
Even Wei Fangyi and Jin Lifu, who had been talking privately, looked up in surprise.
Tang Lan’s entire body trembled uncontrollably, “Wei Qin… who did you say?”
Wei Qin, seemingly oblivious to Tang Lan’s shock, continued with refined grace, “The painter you’ve always admired is Jiang Nanfei! Didn’t you know? Oh~ No wonder you drove her out of your house! It’s because you didn’t know; when I heard about it, I found it strange too.”
Wei Qin’s words struck Tang Lan like thunder, leaving her dizzy and disoriented, as if a punch had landed square in her chest, a bitter sweetness rising to her throat.
“How could that be? Are you telling the truth? I…” Tang Lan was too shocked to speak coherently.
Jin Lifu quickly ca over, supporting Tang Lan from behind and soothing her in a low voice. He gave Wei Qin a helpless look, already knowing this young man, despite his seemingly gentle speech, was definitely not as mild and temper-free as he appeared.
But Wei Qin’s move was too ruthless. From now on, whenever Tang Lan thought of the girl she had harshly driven out of her house, the artist she so admired, she would suffer the cruelest tornt at the bottom of her heart.
“Auntie, don’t take it to heart. It’s normal that you didn’t know; not many people do know about it,” Wei Qin’s smile grew gentler. He did this not really for Jiang Nanfei, but for Jiang Yang.
On that day, it wasn’t only Jiang Nanfei who was driven out; young Jiang Yang had also been bullied and injured by Wei An.
There were so things he couldn’t do yet while in the hospital, but the real settling of accounts would start after his discharge.
“I… I need to calm down,” Tang Lan took a deep breath, sinking into a chair in a daze. Her mind repeatedly revisited the day Jiang Nanfei had arrived with her younger brother, feeling more ashad and embarrassed the more she thought about it.
And only now did she understand the aning behind Jiang Nanfei’s gaze.
“So that’s how it is.”
Wei Qin stopped there and turned his smiling gaze towards Wei Fangyi and the silent Tang Qian.
“Dad, why didn’t Wei An co? And what about my uncle and Lu Dongxin?”
Now Wei Fangyi and Tang Qian’s expressions turned even uglier.
“Er… Wei An is still in school,” Wei Fangyi said, clearly troubled, for this boy had been spoiled rotten by Wei Shufen and Tang Qian since he was a child. After so many years together, there was emotional attachnt.
And the fault lay with Wei Shufen; Wei An himself was not to bla. But no matter how blaless he was, he couldn’t stay in the Wei Family any longer.
