Today, Jin Lifu was ushered to the research institute early in the morning by Tang Lan. His departure was closely followed by the arrival of Tang Qian with Lu Dongxin and her younger son Wei An. Thirteen-year-old Wei An is already a formidable figure within the compound.

Wei An’s adoration by Tang Qian is due to his elder brother Wei Qin’s frail health. Doctors predicted he wouldn’t live past thirty, hence, Tang Qian doted on her younger son excessively. Wei Fangyi had repeatedly attempted to address this issue to no avail and eventually gave up.

“Cousin, don’t be sad. I’ll avenge you today,” Wei An lifted his chubby fists, “Humph! How dare she try to snatch my cousin’s man, I’ll make her pay for it!”

“What nonsense are you talking!” Tang Qian scolded, “Who taught you to say such things?”

Upon seeing his mother’s evident anger, Wei An sheepishly confessed, “It…it was auntie.”

Tang Qian, although infuriated, remembered her younger sister-in-law’s distress over Dongxin’s predicament and decided to let it go: “From now on, you are not allowed to say such things, understood?”

“Got it!” Wei An stuck out his tongue playfully before scampering off to play with his toys.

Tang Lan, too, was taken aback by Wei An’s words: “Sister, you need to pay more attention to him. I understand your affection for him, but you can’t let him grow up pampered and spoilt.”

Both families consisted of high-ranking intellectuals, so small temper tantrums were acceptable, but not to this extent.

If Wei Fangyi had been present, a slap would have indeed been in order.

“I understand!” Tang Qian didn’t want to continue this discussion. She, too, was not happy. Her elder son’s health was poor, and he had dedicated his life to his country, she didn’t want her younger son to have an equally hard life.

“By the way, did you mention that Jiang Nanfei will bring her brother over today? Is that true?”

“Absolutely.” Tang Lan knowing her sister preferred to sidestep the issue of children, went on to share what she knew, “I overheard Jiang Nanfei call to say she would come today with her brother to set things straight with Lifu. I intercepted the call which was intended for the nanny. Today with Lifu sent away…”.

“Fantastic! Finally, Dongxin will have her revenge.” Tang Qian turned to the visibly upset Lu Dongxin: “Dongxin, don’t be sad. Today, you’ll get the opportunity to release your anger. From now on, keep your spirits high and do not commit suicide by focusing on one thing. It doesn’t matter how wonderful Huo Beijiang is, it’s useless if he is not suitable for you.”

Lu Dongxin who was usually emotionally stable couldn’t help but burst out crying when Huo Beijiang’s name was mentioned, “Auntie, I swore I would marry him. If I can’t, I might as well die.”

“Child, why can’t you be more open-minded!”

“Yeah! The most crucial thing in life is compatibility, you and Huo Beijiang are not right for each other.”

“Who says we are not suitable?” Lu Dongxin objected, “If it wasn’t for his childhood betrothal, Beijiang would not have broken off our engagement.”

The sisters exchanged a glance, a sense of helplessness etched deep in their eyes.

They had long realized that Huo Beijiang had no interest in Dongxin. But, this stubborn girl was insistent on pursuing him. Huo Beijiang is a human being, an outstanding soldier, not a commodity that she can simply take if she desires.

A forced relationship will not yield a happy outcome.

“Dongxin, didn’t you promise me? You would confront Jiang Nanfei today and that it would make you feel better?” Tang Qian truly cared for Lu Dongxin who, depressed and secluding herself at home, regularly cursed Jiang Nanfei.

She thought of this strategy just to get Dongxin moving again.
