“Aunt!”
Who would have known that Wei Keli would be so spineless? Before Wei Zhiqian broke the rest of his fingers, he had already cried out and admitted defeat.
Wei Zhiqian curled his lips in disdain. His eyes were filled with anger, which were like two sharp knives penetrating Wei Keli’s heart.
If Wei Keli could grit his teeth and hold on for a little longer, not admitting defeat after insulting Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian might think he was a tough guy. Even if he had done something wrong, he was at least a guy who wasn’t willing to concede defeat. After all, if he dared to insult Tan Mo like that, it meant that he had been thinking about it for a long time. He believed in himself, and that’s why he said it directly. In that case, he should have stuck to his thoughts because he didn’t think he was wrong. Since Wei Keli did not think that he had made a mistake, why didn’t he just try to be tough?
However, it turned out that Wei Keli couldn’t hold on any longer after suffering such slight pain. “Was this all he had got?” Wei Zhiqian wondered. Even a villain would be ruthless towards himself if he wanted to be successful.
“Where’s your apology?” Wei Zhiqian said flatly.
“I … I’m sorry!” Wei Keli quickly replied. There was no arrogance left, let alone his tough attitude of insulting Tan Mo just now. “Uncle, let go … let go of my finger!”
“Who are you saying sorry to?” Wei Zhiqian did not loose Wei Keli’s finger.
“To Tan … ” Just when Wei Keli said two words when an even more intense pain suddenly came from his index finger. Wei Zhiqian used a lot more force.
Wei Keli’s face was drenched in sweat. Drops of sweat, tears, and snot were mixed together. His entire face was wet, which made him extremely disgusting.
Tan Mo felt disgusted at Wei Keli’s face. He happened to catch sight of Tan Mo’s expression at that moment, and he saw the disgust on her face clearly.
Wei Keli was furious. The more he felt embarrassed, the more he hated Tan Mo. “Why does she have to look down on me?” he wondered.
“Aunt!” Wei Keli could not stand the pain, so he immediately changed the way he addressed Tan Mo. “I’m sorry, aunt, I shouldn’t have said that to you. It’s my fault. Please forgive me, please!”
It hurt so much that Wei Keli’s voice began to tremble. He begged for mercy in tears. At that moment, he did not care about his dignity anymore. He was in so much pain that he nearly blacked out. His entire body was shaking. At that moment, dignity was no longer important.
Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo both knew that Wei Keli was not sincerely apologizing, but they did not expect Wei Keli to apologize with all his heart. What they wanted to do was warn him. In that way, he would not talk nonsense or insult Tan Mo again.
Wei Zhiqian let go of Wei Keli’s finger and pushed him roughly to the side. Although Wei Keli’s fingers hurt much, his legs were numb, too. When Wei Zhiqian loosed his finger, he staggered backward and fell to the ground.
“Keli!” Seeing this, Li Xiangrong cried out in surprise and rushed over to Wei Keli. Although she also held the view that she couldn’t count on Wei Keli in the future and had agreed to raise a second child who was smarter than him, after all, he had been her only son for years. Even if she didn’t expect him to achieve anything, she still hoped that he would always be safe and sound.
Li Xiangrong rushed over to Wei Keli and saw him grabbing his right hand.
“Keli, what’s wrong?” Li Xiangrong was worried and panicked, her eyes fixed on his right hand. Taking a closer look, she discovered that Wei Keli’s right index finger had been bent into a 90-degree right angle.
“What happened? Who did this?” Li Xiangrong shrieked. Although she asked this, she had already known the answer. Who else could it be? Before they came here, there were only three people. And these three people were Wei Keli, Wei Zhiqian, and Tan Mo.
Tan Mo was just a girl. It was impossible that she had such powerful strength. As for, Wei Keli, he couldn’t have broken his own finger.
If it wasn’t Wei Keli or Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian would be the only suspect.
Li Xiangrong raised her head and huffed, “Zhiqian, how could you do this to him? He is your family!” After all, her son had been sent to Nacheng. It was not easy for him to come back. But now, her son was bullied, which was the last thing she wanted to see.
Old Madam Wei knew it was not appropriate to speak for Wei Zhiqian at that moment, although she also thought that there must be a reason why he did this to Wei Keli.
“Say no more. Take Keli to the main hall and call the doctor. After that, let these kids explain clearly what happens. By that time, we will know the truth,” Old Madam Wei said.
Li Xiangrong’s heart was filled with hatred, but she also knew that it was more important to treat Wei Carly’s injuries first.
Old Mister Wei and Old Madam Wei had hired a doctor to live with them. If they didn’t feel well, the doctor could immediately diagnose and treat them. If there was a serious problem, he could provide first aid to them in time and send them to the hospital, which could at least ensure the treatment was timely. Every week, they would take a basic physical examination. There was also a special room here where some small or medium-sized medical equipment was placed. The more advanced and larger ones were naturally placed in the hospital. It was not because they could not afford them. For example, some equipment from radiology departments could not be placed in the house.
Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong helped Wei Keli back to the main hall.
Butler Zhu had informed the doctor. He examined Wei Keli. Although Wei Zhiqian broke Wei Keli’s finger, he was so careful that he did not hurt his bones.
Therefore, there was no need to send Wei Keli to the hospital. After all, there were enough medical resources to treat such injuries.
The doctor treated Wei Keli’s finger and fixed it with a splint.
Even if it was only a dislocation of the joint, it would take Wei Keli quite a long time to recover.
Wei Keli sat on the sofa with a pained expression on his face, his index finger wrapped inside thick bandages.
Li Xiangrong didn’t want Wei Zhiqian to get away with this so easily. She asked, “Can you tell us the truth now, Zhiqian? Why do you have to be so ruthless to Keli? If he did anything wrong, you can criticize him, scold him. But why do you have to break his finger? It’s unacceptable!” Li Xiangrong’s eyes were red. She bellowed, “Moreover, this is the new year. If there’s a problem, we negotiate with each other. Why do you have to do this?”
Then, Li Xiangrong added, “Why didn’t you stop it until he cried and begged you for mercy? Wei Zhiqian, you haven’t completely taken over this family yet. How dare you beat your family? Is this what an uncle should be like? Can’t wait to become the head of this family, huh? But remember, you’re not the family head yet!” Li Xiangrong said as she gritted her teeth, “I’m just wondering, if you become the family head, and you’ll beat anyone who disagrees with you, how are these people going to live in this family?”
Hearing what Li Xiangrong said, Xiao Menghan frowned. She knew that Li Xiangrong was accusing Wei Zhiqian of being intolerant and she was complaining that he hadn’t become the family head yet, but he began to bully his family.
But at this moment, Xiao Menghan knew that she should keep silent.
